Matters in the martial arts world are never child’s play.

When tens of millions in interests are involved, never underestimate the greed of human nature.

The only thing still within Ethan Clark’s calculations is that label of “loyalty and righteousness.”

Reputation!

With this “reputation,” in the next year or two, Jason Carter won’t act rashly.

……

In the inner courtyard, Logan Clark, who had just been discharged from the hospital, was already practicing martial arts.

“Xianji!”

Ethan Clark hurried forward: “You just got out of the hospital, your injuries haven’t healed yet, make sure to rest.”

“It’s fine, I’m in great shape. Lying in bed for two days, I feel like my body is rusting.”

Logan Clark shook his head.

He looked at Ethan Clark: “Brother, I plan to start practicing martial arts right now.”

“Right now?”

“Yes. Our family’s Qi Refining Technique is best practiced between the ages of twelve and sixteen. In half a month, I’ll be thirteen, so I can definitely start practicing our family’s Qi Refining Technique.”

Logan Clark said.

Beside him, Emily Bolton added, “Although Director Carter is willing to support you, and even sent his disciples to personally protect your safety and prevent retaliation, you must also strive to be strong yourselves.”

Her expression was resolute: “Even though our family has no money, some things can be sold off. The The Clark Family is a martial arts family. Even if we have to sell everything, I will make sure you both continue your martial arts training, and in the future, restore the glory of the Heavenly Dao Sword Sect.”

Logan Clark nodded vigorously, clenching his right fist: “I will definitely work hard at martial arts, refine my organs and change my blood, and become a Qi and Blood Martial Artist like Dad and Uncle Carter. If Longspring Hall dares to bully us, if one comes, we’ll kill one; if two come, we’ll kill them both.”

Ethan Clark looked at his younger brother and mother.

He knew very well.

Olivia Carter came to the Heavenly Dao Sword Sect, claiming to protect their family, but in reality, it was to keep watch.

To watch him.

No matter how much he tried to attribute his destruction of Longspring Hall to poisoning, only a fool would let their guard down against someone who could kill eighteen people in one night, including a Qi and Blood Martial Artist like Brian Foster.

No matter how much he insisted he just wanted to be a student, get into a music university, and enter the music industry, it was useless.

As long as he studied, went to school, sang, and didn’t practice martial arts, before the matter with Longspring Hall was completely forgotten, he, his mother Emily Bolton, and his brother Logan Clark would be safe.

But if he bought medicine, practiced martial arts, and tried to revive the Heavenly Dao Sword Sect…

The “friends” Olivia Carter mentioned, who wanted to avenge Brian Foster, would definitely show up.

So…

“Then focus on your martial arts training.”

Ethan Clark smiled and patted his brother’s head: “Don’t worry about the money for martial arts medicine, your brother will earn it for you.”

“Lianxiao, you can’t slack off in your own martial arts training either… If you can become a Qi and Blood Martial Artist, we won’t have to trouble Director Carter for everything.”

Emily Bolton said.

“I understand.”

Ethan Clark replied, glancing at Logan Clark: “Since you’ve decided, train hard. Don’t give up halfway because you can’t take the hardship.”

“Brother, don’t worry, I’ll stick with it!”

Logan Clark said resolutely.

Ethan Clark nodded and went into the room with Emily Bolton.

“To become a Qi and Blood Martial Artist takes at least eight to ten years. In these years, we can’t just sit around and do nothing. Since your brother is planning to train now, let’s focus on him. The foundation is the most important part and can’t be neglected.”

Ethan Clark said to Emily Bolton.

“And you…”

“Don’t worry. Don’t forget, in recent years I’ve managed to get quite a bit of money from you all to develop and promote my online accounts. These accounts have gained some popularity. Next, I’ll focus on developing them and look for ways to monetize. Once that’s done, earning one or two million a year will be enough for both of us to train, and it won’t take up too much time.”

“Alright, but don’t put too much pressure on yourself. I’ll help think of ways too.”

“Understood.”

Ethan Clark responded and returned to his own room.

Sitting at his desk, he listened to the faint sounds coming from the outer courtyard, picked up his phone, and typed a line in a document.

Tianfeng Martial Arts School.

Then, he typed another line.

One year, Qi and Blood Martial Artist.

After a moment, he deleted both lines.

“Impossible.”

Ethan Clark sat quietly in his chair.

He was very self-aware.

Let alone becoming a Qi and Blood Martial Artist, he couldn’t even reach the peak of body refinement in a year.

After a while, he typed another line in the document.

Singing.

Martial arts training.

……

“Then for now, I’ll just focus on singing.”

Ethan Clark put down his phone.

At that moment, a notification popped up on his phone.

Ethan Clark glanced at the notification, tapped it, entered three rather complex passwords, and finally accessed a website.

There was a new message in his personal account on the site.

“The martial arts manual ‘Tiger-Leopard Thunder Sound Technique’ you ordered has been shipped. Please verify by video and confirm receipt.”

Chapter 9: Tsunami

Night.

A video was quietly playing on the screen.

“Tiger-Leopard Thunder Sound, bones and tendons resonate together!”

The video had a watermark.

It also contained a special insignia, detectable by specialized software.

This was a martial arts manual sold on the “Ember” website.
