Chapter 1 [001] The organization has decided, from today on you are the young master
In a huge Chinese-style building with a sign hanging at the door saying "Dogs and English are not allowed", a master and his apprentice are fighting in the martial arts training ground.

"Jiandan, are you ready? The master is about to take action."

"Yes, I'm ready!"

Qin Jiandan lied.

It would be impossible for him to be ready to compete with his master, the best martial artist in the world.

The next second, Qin Jiandan was knocked upside down and flew high into the sky. It was later that he caught the fierce figure of his master approaching and bursting with energy from the corner of his eye.

Qin Jiandan’s mind was full of thoughts.

In his 20s, he had come into contact with all kinds of people and experienced all kinds of dangers (but none as dangerous as the one he experienced with his master).

My goal after getting up today was to have some beer and fried chicken...

This is not Earth, but an unnamed terrestrial planet. More than a hundred years ago, a spaceship carrying Earth immigrants and DNA of all species crashed here. The survivors built a city in the huge crater - Ringstone City.

Qin Jiandan's body was still tumbling in the air. His master and the wooden dummies and weapon racks on both sides of the training ground all became small in his sight.

Ringstone City is divided into the inner city and the outer city, in short, the rich area and the poor area. Even if we are separated from the earth, even if we are descendants of the survivors, the social structure of people oppressing people is still as solid as a rock.

The inner city is ruled by the supreme "company" and the three major families. The outer city is a lawless place, where the major guilds evolved from the "Mutual Aid Association for Refugees" often kill each other for territory.

Today, the Grand Guild has gradually gained the power to challenge the authority of the inner city. With the Night Dragon Society in the east and the Nyan Society in the west, a competition between the two powers is inevitable.

Qin Jiandan's master, Qin Qi, is the president of the "Night Dragon Society" which is mainly composed of Oriental people.

The eighty-year-old "Old Dragon" is skinny but has a sharp gaze. In the "Wumen War" 200 years ago, Qin Qi killed more than people by himself, and his white kung fu shirt was completely dyed red.

The "Nian Society", which was mainly composed of Westerners, lost three of its four major cadres in this battle and did not gradually recover until 20 years later.

Qin Jiandan tried his best to change his balance and landed on the ground with his two feet and one hand.

"Thank you so much, Master, for showing mercy!"

With the full force of the Night Dragon Society's president's attack, even the spider chariot guarding the passage between the inner and outer cities would probably be shattered into powder.

Qin Jiandan is very self-aware in this regard. Although he is nominally the president's bodyguard, his strength is only slightly higher than that of the enemy cadre who was killed 20 years ago...

A burly man with scars all over his face and dressed in martial arts attire walked in from the entrance of the martial arts training ground. Qin Jiandan was already quite tall, but as soon as this man appeared, he instantly became two heads shorter.

The wooden floor creaked slightly under the big man's footsteps. His entire right arm was a mechanical prosthesis, which obviously increased the weight of his body.

"Tiger Chi, did you follow my instructions and drive Zhu Laoer and the others away from the door?"

Stopping at the edge of the martial arts training ground, the big man known as "Tiger Maniac" bowed to the president, then looked at Qin Jiandan, who was sitting on the ground gasping for breath, with a strange look.

"President, I have said everything you said. Everyone is very dissatisfied. Although I stopped Zhu Laoer from forcing his way in, he cursed and said that he would ask you for an explanation at tomorrow's cadre meeting..."

"I won't be attending the cadre meeting tomorrow. I said I'm going to practice in seclusion, so I won't see Zhu Laoer and other cadres anymore!"

There was no doubt about the president's decision. After a subtle silence, the old man in white shirt narrowed his eyes and looked at Tiger Chi who was standing silently.

"Tiger Chi, you are also very unconvinced, right?"

"I dare not." Hu Chi lowered his head quickly.

"It's understandable that you're not convinced." Qin Qi twirled his beard with one hand, "You are Jiandan's senior brother, and in your eyes he's just a brat. Since you've just recently returned to the guild after being in prison, if you don't compete with Jiandan, I'm afraid you won't acknowledge Jiandan's growth!"

Without giving the two people time to explain or refuse, Qin Qi gave up his position and retreated to the sidelines.

"Tiger Chi, it's your turn to fight Jian Dan now!"

"Don't hold back, you must attack with the determination to kill Jiandan! If Jiandan is killed by you, you can only blame him for not learning the skills well enough!"

"Eh hey hey!? Master, why are you trying to instigate us brothers to fight? I was just lazing around and sitting on the ground for a while, wasn't I?"

Qin Jiandan jumped up from the ground and heard the second order from his master: "Tiger Chi can kill you, but you can't kill Tiger Chi! If you are defeated by Tiger Chi, I will kill you myself!"

At this point, Qin Jiandan knew that his master had made up his mind, and the only option now was to fight to the death.

With his breathing becoming more and more steady, Qin Jiandan got into position and entered the warrior's state of stillness.

Hu Chi walked silently to a place 20 steps away from Qin Jiandan. His mechanical body emitted a harsh electric sound because of the inner turmoil of its owner.

"President, you said that I can kill Jian Dan, but Jian Dan can't kill me... Does this mean that his strength is higher than mine?"

Qin Qi: "I didn't say that. As long as you kill Jian Dan, you can prove that you are the strong one."

"Then - don't blame me for not considering our friendship as brothers!"

The metal friction produced a bone-chilling sound, and three titanium alloy blades of exaggerated length instantly popped out from Tiger Chi's mechanical right arm, and then -

With the force of a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, he chopped with deadly force that exceeded the human body's limit dozens of times per second, and opened fire at full power to protect his senior brother's dignity!

In a flash, the winner was decided!
The wooden figures around were scattered, most of them with their heads and bodies separated. The floor where Qin Jiandan had stood was also engraved with the marks of a sharp blade. However, Qin Jiandan disappeared. After a few seconds, Hu Chi realized that his junior brother had swapped positions with him, and...

His mechanical right arm had been broken and was held in his hand! The three titanium alloy blades on the outside of the prosthesis that had clearly hit the target were either bent or broken, as if they had never touched the human body, but had hit something indestructible during the slashing process!

"I see……"

Sparks flickered at the broken ends of the mechanical prosthesis, and phantom pains could be felt faintly from the severed limbs. Tiger Chi half-knelt on the ground to avoid losing his balance.

"President, you have already taught Jiandan the legendary "Night Dragon Armor", the "Steel Armor Breathing Method" that cannot be damaged by swords, lightning or fire... The Night Dragon Club's secret treasure, which is an anomaly among all martial arts and is extremely difficult to learn even if one meets the prerequisite of being a virgin, finally has an heir!"

Qin Jiandan felt uncomfortable: Although the battle was won, it sounded like we lost in some way...

"I'm convinced. Anyone who has learned the Steel Armor Breathing Technique is fully qualified to be the young master."

"What role?" Qin Jiandan, who didn't hear clearly, walked towards Hu Chi with the broken arm, "Brother, don't be angry. Master said that if I can't beat you, he will kill me, so I have no choice but to do my best..."

As if he suddenly remembered something, Hu Chi turned his body towards Qin Jiandan in a half-kneeling position and lowered his head even lower.

"Please forgive my disrespect just now! As a subordinate, I actually drew my sword against the young master... From now on, I will risk my life to protect the young master!"

"What? Who are you saying is the young master?"

After returning the severed arm to his senior brother, Qin Jiandan turned to his master with a puzzled look on his face.

"He's talking about you."

The president coughed a few times and then continued.

"I just asked Hu Chi to tell Zhu Laoer and his group of cadres that from today on, I will be practicing in seclusion and not care about worldly affairs. At the same time, I appoint you as the young master and act as the president. After I die, you will officially succeed me as the president..."

"Master, are you kidding me?" Qin Jiandan refused to believe it. "Although I often stay by your side, I don't have any qualifications to be the young master. I am just a bodyguard in name only! And you are in good health, you can easily knock me away with a punch, how dare you talk about death?"

The president spread out the inside of his sleeves, and Qin Jiandan was speechless.

The originally pure white cuffs were stained with a blood plum. The invincible master just coughed up blood!
"What, what's going on..."

Qin Jiandan panicked. When he was a child, he and his sister wandered the streets together, and it was the president who adopted them. How could that impeccable old man...

"I have lung cancer. The doctor said I only have one year to live."

The old man, with blood slightly hanging from the corner of his mouth, didn't seem to mind talking about the end of his life.

Hu Chi, who was half-kneeling on the ground, was also quietly wiping away tears. It seemed that he knew about the president's illness earlier than Qin Jiandan.

"This is a secret. Only you, Jiandan, and the loyal Tiger Chi can know it."

The president began to pace. Qin Jiandan never thought that he would be worried because of his master doing such a simple action.

"The fight between the Night Dragon Society and the Nian Society has reached a fever pitch. Not only can I no longer lead the charge, I can't even show up in public, lest I be exposed and be assassinated. Once I die, Zhu Laoer will fight for power with his cadres, causing the guild to split, and the Nian Society will take the opportunity to launch a massive attack."

The only weakness of the "Steel Armor Breathing Technique" is that it prevents one from breathing while performing it. The president, who has lung cancer and cannot breathe completely independently, is no longer indestructible.

"Jian Dan, you are the only one among my disciples who has learned the "Steel Armor Breathing Method". Although you have no ambitions and probably never thought about taking over the guild - but at this moment you must serve as the young master, give orders on my behalf, and stabilize the Night Dragon Society's position!"

Only then did Qin Jiandan understand why Hu Chi said "the cadres at the door are not convinced."

I'd be surprised if they could accept it! Let a 20-something boy be the next president, let a bodyguard with no military achievements be the young master... The four major cadres are obviously thinking about succeeding the president!
"Master, Zhu Laoer and the others will never agree to my becoming the young master. I'm afraid that I don't have the qualifications and abilities to..."

"No qualifications are needed! I will kill anyone who disobeys me! It is enough to have the "Steel Armor Breathing Method" to protect yourself and the ability to avoid assassination!"

The president's roar was totally unlike that of a dying old man. Qin Jiandan could imagine the four major cadres, led by Zhu Laoer, crawling under the president's majesty and reluctantly agreeing to his promotion to young master.

At this time, Hu Chi finally stood up from the floor with his broken arm. He stood behind Qin Jiandan with a submissive look, no longer considering himself as a "senior brother" but as a subordinate of the "young master".

"Young Master, I think I understand why the president did this. In fact, just last night, one of the four major cadres, "Watanabe", was assassinated by the Nian Society. The president suspected that there was a traitor in the Night Dragon Society who betrayed him."

"Eh? Is that Watanabe who is good at the "Electronic Iai Slash"? " Qin Jiandan was a little surprised.

The president laughed dryly twice, and his eyes beneath his two white eyebrows flashed with endless murderous intent.

"Jian Dan, you must follow my instructions and serve as the young master. You must investigate the killing of cadres and the traitor as soon as possible. Report to me when you have any clues. Do you understand?"

After hearing the specific tasks and seeing the president's breathing become steady, Qin Jiandan felt a little relieved.

"As long as I eliminate the traitor and wait for you to recover, Master, I can stop being a troublesome young master and go back to a relaxing life of eating beer and fried chicken every day?"

"Dream on, little brat!"

The president slapped him, and Qin Jiandan tried his best to dodge but was still a beat too late, so his nose was scratched red - ah, my nose and eyes felt so sore and swollen! Men don't shed tears easily, that's because they have never been beaten by their master!
"I can only teach you for one more year before I die of illness! After one year you will be the president!"

"The current momentum of the Night Dragon Society was built up by me and several generations of people at great pains! If you fail to completely defeat the Nian Society, and instead let the Night Dragon Society fall into your hands... I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!"
