Chapter 81

Huaisha City, a deserted part of the beach .

Among the pebble-strewn sand was a number of fishing boats docking by the beach .

The afternoon sun was shining bright, yet it was still cold .

“It’s getting colder…” Lin Sheng stood on a rock and looked at the golden sea afar .

He was wearing a white tracksuit and carried a short sword on his arm . The sword casing made him looked like a violin-playing youth .

Sarroux and another redhead youth stood on the empty ground at the side, their hair waving around by the wind .

Both of them were wearing fitting singlets and camouflage pants . They looked strong and fit . At the back of their singlets was a very clear Chinese character, “Fist” .

“Bro, I have an update on the professional you asked me to look for . But do we really need to go pay him a visit?” Sarroux may look calm, but there was concern in his eye .

He knew that the individual was not a nice person, and knowing how he had been acting, it was nothing but brutality . If anything went wrong…

“You just need to tell me the location . I’ll head there myself . You guys stay here . ” Lin Sheng aid .

“But, just by my words alone is a little weak no?” Sarroux was concerned .

“And boss, even if that person is willing to join, we have yet to get our club up and running, and won’t the cost be a little too high?”

Lin Sheng shook his head .

“I know . But you don’t have to worry too much about it . You just need to focus on getting more members and stabilizing Ironfist Club . ”

Sarroux did not know what Lin Sheng was planning .

The person he had scouted was once called the Deathclaw who was a famous martial artist when he was young . During his prime, he had opened a dojo and started accepting disciples .

Sadly, he did not manage to find one that could help ward off trouble, and his old nemesis came looking for him and destroyed one of his arms .

He went on a downward spiral after that, as he closed his dojo and dismissed all his disciples . Without any children, he could only live on his savings .

“So when you are going over?” Sarroux noticed that Lin Sheng had already made up his mind, and did not say anymore .

“You have his address with you? If it’s nearby we can head there straight . ” Lin Sheng replied .

“It’s close by, but I’m not very familiar with that place . We might need to spend some time looking…” Sarroux responded with a frown .

“Then you two lead the way . ” Lin Sheng said no more as he leaped off the rock and quickly made his way towards the road .

The two followed behind .

By the roadside was a white rental car . Sarroux’s junior had a driver’s license .

The three then got on to the vehicle and sped away from Huaisha’s city center eastwards .

After an hour, the car slowly entered a town called Baisha Town . The village was empty, and on the few streets there, only elderlies or children were seen with nary any youths or adults in sight .

As Sarroux’ junior drove, he explained .

“I’ve been in Baisha Town before last time; most of the youngsters had already left the town to work, and only the elderly and children are left . The entire town altogether numbers barely a few hundred . ”

“And this sort of town will probably disappear after a few years…” Sarroux sighed .

Lin Sheng did not say anything . He only looked at the low houses on the old road .

The car quickly made a turn and slowly stopped before a yard of a farmhouse .

The farmhouse was made out of lime soil with its roof made out of mud and rice stalks with black tiles on it . However, the tiles were already in a state of disrepair by then .

The farmhouse’s entrance was half-opened, and the sound of someone washing clothes could be heard in the yard .

Lin Sheng led the group forward and knocked on the door .

Knock, knock, knock .

The sound of scrubbing stopped .

“Who’s there?” A thin middle-aged lady with a dirty apron walked to the door and looked at Lin Sheng and his friends .

“Does Mr . Dao Ning live here?” Lin Sheng asked courteously .

“Yes, and you are?” The lady asked .

“We are Mr . Dao Ning’s former students, and decided to visit him since we are on the way . ” Lin Sheng smiled .

“I’m a housekeeper he hired . Wait a bit, I’ll go call for him . ”

The lady then turned and ran into the house .

After a moment, she came out and waved at Lin Sheng and the rest .

“Come in, he lets you in . ”

“Sorry for the trouble . ” Lin Sheng said loudly, as he walked into the yard and then into the slightly dim house .

A strong medicinal smell permeated in the room .

On the redwood chair sat a strong old man with white hair .

The man was clad in a gray cotton garb, and on his knee was a piece of thin red shawl .

His eyes were bright and sharp, and he had not seen it for himself, he would not have believed it belonged to an old man at all .

“Which batch were you from? Sorry, I’m old now and my memory is not what it was used to be . ” The old man said slowly .

His voice was deep, powerful and clear without any signs of frailty .

“Mr . Dao Ning, I’m Lin Sheng, the leader of Huaisha City’s Ironfist Club . This trip here was to invite you to be our club’s combat advisor .

Lin Sheng smiled as he explained his motive .

“Hm?” Dao Ning’s expression sank, “Ironfist Club?”

Only then did he measured Lin Sheng’s figure .

“I never heard of any Ironfist Club before, but your body, you are a weapon user right? And you are interested in a crippled man like me?”

Before he was crippled, he was a famous person and many local factions had wanted him to join then . But after the incident, no one dared to approach him owing to the influence of his nemesis .

Only a few small factions dared to look for him, hoping to learn something and give him some money as a fee .

That was the only way he earned a living now .

“Mr . Dao Ning you are also a martial artist that had hit the limit of human strength, and I’ve heard that you had tried to break that limit without success for ten odd years . ”

Lin Sheng paused for a moment, as he lifted his hand, signaling for Sarroux and his junior to leave .

The two did not say anything and left the room before closing it behind them .

“What are you trying to say?” Dao Ning looked impassively at Lin Sheng .

He had lived long enough that he had seen everything, so he was well composed and calm .

“I mean to say, I found the way to break that limit!”

Lin Sheng’s every word was resolute .

“And?” Dao Ning was still impassive, and he looked on calmly at Lin Sheng . He had seen all too many half-baked fools who had claimed to have broken the limit . But words alone would not convince him .

“I hope that you can join the Ironfist Club . ” Lin Sheng said . I want to create an association that comprises and unites all martial artists, a pure martial arts association .

Too many martial artists had fallen in their fearless pursuit, and this was not just a loss for Xilin, but also the entire martial arts world .

And now that martial arts weak, with guns running rampant . Pure martial artists have found it harder and harder to survive . If we do not unite and find a way out, one day, martial arts may totally disappear under the tides of history . ”

“It sounds good, far-sighted, but this old man here is beyond being wowed by delusions of grandeur . ” Dao Ning sneered . “And, a mere boy like you saving the martial arts world? That’s almost… hilarious…”

Before he could complete his sentence, the sneer on his face slowly disappeared .

Lin Sheng, who was standing before him, was rapidly bulking up at a rate that one could see .

Lines upon lines of purple blood vessels appeared on his body as his muscles strengthened, and even Lin Sheng’s height was pushed up by a few centimeters .

“I… have long through that limit . ”

Lin Sheng extended his hand out as his gripped clutched his palm and smashed again the way in a flash .

*Boom!*

The wall was torn through, then it exploded .

A ten centimeter thick mud wall, was blown apart like a piece of tofu .

Dao Ning swallowed hard and looked at Lin Sheng’s extended palm as he walked towards him .

“Want to bet?”

The massive hand filled with purple veins slowly extended before him .
