Chapter 1096 - 1095: Cheng Yaojin Appears Out of Nowhere
Chen Qingqing nodded slightly, she thought the same. Now that she had already signed up for two levels of competition, she would participate in both and bring both championships home.

On the other side, a middle-aged man had been watching intently. He was Wu Xiangming from the Lifeng Martial Arts Hall, and his expression was particularly grim. Sitting next to him, Luo Jianlin had also changed from his usual arrogant demeanor, frowning tightly.
Wu Xiangming knew some insider information. He knew that among this crowd, there might be Tuo Shi people. He originally wanted Luo Jianlin to perform well, resolve the first match as quickly as possible, and attract the attention of the Tuo Shi people. However, he never expected Chen Qingqing to suddenly steal the spotlight before Luo Jianlin even had a chance to enter the arena.
"That woman really has some skills," Wu Xiangming said venomously.
Although Luo Jianlin was also quite surprised by Chen Qingqingâs recent performance, he had always been arrogant and dismissive of everyone, so he spoke with a disdainful tone, "Thatâs just because she got lucky. If she had faced me in the ring, she would already have been sent to the hospital."
Of course, Luo Jianlin was boasting. In reality, both he and Wu Xiangming knew that this kind of Great Master Level competition required entry qualifications, which meant having certain strength. Even though Luo Jianlin was exceedingly strong, defeating an opponent with just one punch was definitely somewhat difficult, an unimaginable feat that becomes incredibly hard when put into practice.
"I reckon itâs because that muscle-bound guy underestimated her, seeing that she was just a girl. What just happened isnât enough to prove she truly has great strength," Wu Xiangming said, though his words were mixed with a lot of self-comfort. Despite what he said, he was quite worried inside, fearing that Chen Qingqingâs strength was indeed formidable and that Luo Jianlin might not be able to defeat her.
If Luo Jianlin loses in this Great Master Level competition, it would mean they couldnât enter Tian Qi, and the reputation of Lifeng Martial Arts Hall would plummet.
You could say it was a one-battle fame. Now, this news has spread all over Beijing, and everyone is discussing Chen Qingqingâs exploits.
Chen Qingqing didnât care much about the masterâs competition, let alone the youth competition, which was a walk in the park for her.
Even though everyone had been mocking Chen Qingqing, expecting her to lose in the first match, reality gave them a resounding slap.
Whatâs curious is that people were eager to see how strong Chen Qingqing really was, and whether she could win the championship this time.
Of course, Chen Qingqing became famous overnight and garnered quite a few fans. Many compared her to Luo Jianlin, with quite a few onlookers believing that Chen Qingqing and Luo Jianlin were on par.
However, Luo Jianlin had been in the Beijing martial arts world for years, with a foundation deeper than Chen Qingqingâs, so most people still favored Luo Jianlin.
During the preliminaries, the audience had lost most of their interest in the matches. They were eager to see the showdown between Chen Qingqing and Luo Jianlin, with many predicting that this yearâs Martial Arts Championship would be won by either Chen Qingqing or Luo Jianlin. But if they met early, there could be another possibility.
The tournament adopted an elimination system, which meant a single defeat could end their journey. However, in every match Chen Qingqing participated in, she won with an absolute advantage.
As for Luo Jianlin, the same applied. Anyone sharing the stage with him would surely lose.
Chen Qingqing and Luo Jianlinâs strength was so overwhelming that the four-day elimination competition concluded in three days.
During these three days, Chen Qingqing broke records time and again, astounding the entire Beijing martial arts world. Even in the youth competition, if someone drew Chen Qingqing, they would choose to forfeit. After all, she showed incredible power in the masterâs matches; who would be so foolish to compete against her?
After the preliminaries, only Chen Qingqing and Luo Jianlin were left in the running for the championship.
This final draw significant attention, marking the Martial Arts Championship as the most watched competition yet.
After all, this final was the first to feature a female contestant in the championships with such outstanding performance.
After three days of competition, Chen Qingqing now boasted quite a fan base, with many female fans and a surprising number of male fans. Wherever Chen Qingqing appeared, a strong support team was sure to follow.
However, Chen Qingqing wasnât a flamboyant person and didnât enjoy so much attention, feeling troubled when fans gathered outside the Ye Family residence.
"Qingqing, youâre now a star in the martial arts world, and there are fans outside; donât you want to meet them?" Su Changfeng teased. The reason there were so many fans outside the Ye Family was that the finals were the next day, and they had come to cheer for Chen Qingqing.
"Brother Changfeng, stop teasing me. When did I become a star?" Chen Qingqing replied helplessly.
"Haha, youâre way better than those actors; you earned your fame with real skill," Su Changfeng laughed. In todayâs society, many celebrities relied on their looks without any real skills yet did well in the entertainment industry. To Su Changfeng, Chen Qingqing, who achieved her status through her abilities, was far superior to those stars.
"Brother Changfeng, what should I do now?" Chen Qingqing blinked up at Su Changfeng. It was clear that Chen Qingqing didnât like being the focus of attention.
"Once the masterâs tournament ends, we will eliminate the Zhou Family and leave this troubled Beijing, and you wonât have to worry about these things," Su Changfeng said blandly.
Chen Qingqing nodded slightly; all she wanted now was to leave Beijing as soon as possible, away from so many watchful eyes.
Meanwhile, at the Zhou Family residence.
Zhou Qifengâs expression was particularly solemn. Despite Zhou Renlin having made two moves against Su Changfeng without success, embarrassing the Zhou Family, he wasnât afraid of Su Changfeng.
