"This will be the first time that I can actually enter the real martial arts circle!"

Garen was excited After all, he loved martial arts when he was on Earth, but didn’t have the opportunity to train and learn when he was young Noith this opportunity as the beginning, his lifelong most cherished dreae is that some people have names similar to Chinese names, like the name Fei Baiyun It sounds like a Chinese narandmaster of combat ent to western countries to teach martial arts"

Garen followed Fei Baiyun as they walked under the eaves of the roof Garen couldn’t hold the thoughts in his er, so he asked, "Master, you’re not of the Confederation, right?"

Fei Baiyun nodded as he smiled "You can tell? Yeah, my name is pretty different from the names here at Yalu Confederation I wasn’t born in the Yalu Confederation, I’e empire at the east"

"East? Like from Republic of the Tulip?" Garen asked

"No, it’s a place very far away, very far that not even planes can get there Only huge ships can…" The smile on Fei Baiyun’s face slowly disappeared, only to be replaced with a tinge of sorrow "We were only able to reach this place because ere very lucky I can’t even return now Enough of this, we’re alet hazed by your senior brothers and sisters," he said

"Oh…ok…" Garen answered However, he was still thinking of the modern China back on Earth The two of the up the side stairs to the second floor Garen saw the two disciples who had participated in the test with hiirl turned around and looked at Garen, traces of envy apparent on her eyes

The other strapping ed his shoulders and said, "Don’t feel envious If you have tifor your entrance qualifications next tiirl shook her head and said, "This is the last ti e long breaks This little kid ain?"

"I just saw it o I think he wrote Garen on the data sheet" The strapping ht People like us can never devote 100 of our ti We are still able to live hoant to live at present, but e get older, we’ll have to accept the arrange could be considered as soret this after all" A helpless expression popped on the blond man’s face as he said, "I’m really envious of senior sister Rosetta…"

The three of them fell into silence for a uely heard their conversation and looked at the her fist at hiestured an "OK" sign back He then quickly followed Fei Baiyun to the second floor

The second floor was a wide, open hall A layer of dark brown carpet was laid on the ground, and a huge grey circle was drawn at the center of hall

On the four corners were a couple of red wooden cylinders that supported the roof

What was strange was that there wasn't a colu of the hall looked like two slanted flat boards leaning against each other such that it looked fire black and white oil painting at the end of the hall Garen saw it clearly as he alking up the stairs The painting was of a huge white ship sailing across the waves and tides in the ocean

Under the oil painting were a few tables and chairsthere; one of the on a chair

The one standing was a girl that looked in her twenties Her dark brown hair was tied into a ponytail, which was draped over her shoulder She earing a pair of tight black shorts and a cahs fully exposed What was intriguing was her big chest under the cah the zipper of her vest would break anytiainst the wall From afar, Garen could see her facial features that made her look very valiant Her lips most especially, the way she spoke was concise and persuasive She was definitely sohtforward and powerful

The one as standing was a white-haired man He was also in his twenties, but he looked ordinary and had a fatigued countenance He was the kind of person whonize on the street However, his arthy to the extent that when he was seated, his hands could effortlessly touch the ground It gave people an feeling of incongruence

Both of theht and walked toward the stairs as they saw Fei Baiyun taking someone up here

"Master, you found soirl was surprised, her curiosity evident as she observed Garen carefully up and down

"I finally found soh potential His foundation and work ethics are both above average I will stop taking disciples after this last one" Fei Baiyun laughed as he sat down on a chair "His name is Garen He will be your junior brother froer than me!" The white-haired man said with a villainous s All the senior brothers and sisters had been bullying ht back! Now it’s finallybullied just because you are the youngest?" The brown-haired girl knocked hiht Introduce yourselves All four of you will be helping and relying on each other fro any more disciples in the future after all" Fei Baiyun smiled and said with his eyes half-squinted

The brown-haired girl nodded and said, "I will go first"

She looked at Garen as standing obediently at the side and said: "My name is Rosetta, the first disciple of the master I will be your senior sister from now on"

The white-haired man put away his ridiculous smile and said, "I’m your second brother Joshua…"

"Second brother? Screw you!"

A tough, gigantic, towering man quickly rushed up the stairs His voice was as deep as thunder, and he had a white tiger tattooed on his upper body

"Hey, little Josh, since when did you become the second brother here? Why haven’t I heard of it?"

"Eh… Isn’t this our strong, handso second brother Farak?" Joshua shivered as he hid behind his senior sister

"I said third brother You must have misheard it! Misheard… Hehe" A timid expression appeared on Joshua’s face, as if he was a nored Joshua He walked up to Fei Baiyun and clenched his fists to salute "Master, I heard that you just took in a junior brother; I came here just to meet and welcome him"

"Come, let’s all sit down"
