On the top floor of the hotel.
After Zheng Yuanlin finished reporting the routine matters to Mu Yutong, he hesitated for a moment.
“What?” Mu Yutong raised his eyebrows slightly.
“Master…” Zheng Yuanlin hesitated for a moment before finally making up his mind,” The result of the draw for the semi-finals of the martial arts competition is out. Chu Nan’s opponent in the semi-finals is a young martial artist from the Kingdom of Kexley called Maruk.”
“Oh?” Mu Yutong’s expression did not change at all. He only looked at Zheng Yuanlin in doubt.
“This Maruk… According to the deductions of the outside world, it’s very likely that he’s already a third-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist.”
“Very good.” Mu Yutong nodded but did not say anything else. Zheng Yuanlin secretly glanced at Mu Yutong and continued, “Teacher, if Maruk is really a third-stage Internal Breath Martial Artist, I think… Chu Nan is probably not his match.”
Mu Yutong stared at Zheng Yuanlin for a moment before asking in a low voice, “What do you want to say?” Zheng Yuanlin took a deep breath and gathered his courage.
“I want to say that Chu Nan’s performance in the martial arts competition can already be considered very outstanding. Therefore… even if he was eliminated by Maruk in the semi-finals, shouldn’t you still recommend him a spot to enter Star Cloud Academy?”
“Why?” Mu Yutong asked plainly.
“Why?” Zheng Yuanlin was slightly stunned, “Did you send me to tell him previously that as long as he performed well in the martial arts competition, you would recommend him to enter Star Cloud Academy? His performance in the martial arts competition now is very outstanding no matter how you look at it, right?”
“Was it me who asked him to be the champion of the group below the age of 20? Or was it
you?”
Zheng Yuanlin immediately felt stifled and smiled bitterly, “He said it himself.”
“So there’s nothing else to say.” Zheng Yuanlin wanted to say more, but Mu Yutong had already raised his hand to stop him.
Zheng Yuanlin glanced at the calm expression on Mu Yutong’s face and sighed internally. He bowed to Mu Yutong and left the room.
After gently closing the door, Zheng Yuanlin did not leave immediately. Instead, he stared at the door in front of him with a complicated expression.
In the beginning, his teacher should have really cared for Chu Nan and felt pity for his talent.
However, later on, because of Chu Nan’s outstanding performance in the West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition, he attracted the attention of many people, causing his teacher to have other thoughts.
After his teacher’s deliberate arrangements and even cooperated with Norman, he successfully made Chu Nan the focus of everyone’s attention.
Due to Chu Nan’s shocking and exciting performance and the judgment of his teacher and the two Star-Grade Martial Artists, Supremacy Norman, on Chu Nan, countless people cheered and praised Chu Nan’s exciting performance, but they also felt extremely regretful for him.
Such a young martial artist with excellent talent had limited future achievements because of the lack of martial arts promotion by the federation. This was undoubtedly a huge mockery to the entire Earth’s federation.
The federal government had always been vigorously developing martial arts and working hard. Now, it was obvious that something was wrong to let such a young martial artist with excellent talent be abandoned like this.
Therefore, with the push of some people, the “Basic Martial Skill Promotion Act”, that had been controversial after it was launched a few days ago and had even received clear objections from countless people, obtained everyone’s attention again. With a clear example like Chu Nan, the internal public opinion of the federation had shockingly united in a short few days.
They had to popularize basic martial techniques!
They had to let all talented young martial artists obtain the chance to grow!
They had to stop a tragedy like Chu Nan from happening again!
The martial arts families of the federation had to contribute to the development of the federation’s martial arts!
The “Basic Martial Skill Promotion Act” had been in motion for three years. Before it was officially launched, it had encountered powerful resistance from all sides. After it was officially launched, it was even forced to postpone its implementation because of a large number of objections.
This made many people suspect that this bill would probably end up like countless similar bills by the federal government and be unable to make any progress. However, after Chu Nan appeared in front of everyone, in less than a week, this bill immediately obtained the full support of countless people in the entire Earth Federation. Even the slightest objection would be quickly extinguished by this surging wave and the push was abnormally smooth.
Just yesterday, the federation council specially held a full meeting to discuss and review the amendment to the ‘Foundation Martial Skill Promotion Act’. It obtained a full vote pass.
According to the information Zheng Yuanlin had obtained, if nothing unexpected happened, the “Foundation Martial Skill Promotion Act” would officially be implemented next month.
This time, no one dared to stop it from carrying out its mission openly.
Even those powerful and deeply rooted martial arts families on Earth could not do it.
This was because no one dared to face the wrath of all the citizens of the federation.
Although the fundamental reason for such an astonishing change in situation was due to various factors, the most important reason was obvious. It was Chu Nan.
Every time he thought of this, Zheng Yuanlin would have an extremely strange feeling.
Who could have expected that it would almost definitely change the development process of the entire Earth’s Federation’s martial arts? The most important factor was Chu Nan, a mere low-level Overlord Body Realm young martial artist.
Zheng Yuanlin’s gaze was focused on the door as if he wanted to see through it and focus on Mu Yutong in the room. He had to admit that his teacher’s vision and decision-making far exceeded others.
The moment he discovered Chu Nan, he determined that he had superhuman martial arts talent.
As the situation developed later on, he could also discover the potential value of Chu Nan at the first moment and publicize his situation. Then, he could use the ordinary citizens of the entire Earth Federation to change the public opinion and force the martial arts families of the federation to lower their heads and make way for the bill that he had always supported.
This point could be seen from the fact that Rengal, a famous Heaven Control Martial Artist in the federation, had chosen to publicly support the “Basic Martial Skill Promotion Act” because of Chu Nan.
Therefore, Chu Nan had actually become the best chess piece in his teacher’s hands.
The better Chu Nan’s performance in the West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition, the easier it was to attract the sympathy and pity of the ordinary citizens of the Earth’s federation. It was also easier for public opinion to support the “Basic Martial Skill Promotion Act”.
In the semi-finals that Chu Nan was going to participate in tomorrow, the relationship between the Earth Federation and the Kingdom of Kexley was not good to begin with. The ordinary citizens even disliked each other. If Chu Nan was eliminated by Maruk in the semi-finals, the ordinary citizens would only be even angrier and target the various martial arts families of the federation who had been heavily criticized.
From this point, it would be more beneficial for his teacher if Chu Nan lost the semi-finals tomorrow.
In the long term, the lower Chu Nan’s future achievements, the more accurate his teacher’s judgment of him would be. It also made the execution of the “Basic Martial Skill Promotion Act” more convincing.
“Sigh…”
Even though he knew that the teacher in the room could definitely easily hear his sigh, Zheng Yuanlin still did not hide anything. He shook his head and turned around to walk towards his room.
After entering the room, Zheng Yuanlin pulled out the contact list of his personal terminal and found Chu Nan’s name. He thought for a moment and chose to call.
