Republican Era: I Open a Martial Arts School and Defeat Every Foreign Strongman with One Finger

In 1909, in the Shanghai foreign settlement, foreign strongman Aubion set up a challenge ring and defeated several martial artists in a row, shouting "Sick Men of East Asia" before the crowd. The Chinese spectators clenched their fists, but no one dared to answer him.

Qin Mu, who had just transmigrated from the modern world, quietly opened a shabby little martial arts school. On the day his Sect System activated, he spent all his inheritance points on Huashan Internal Arts and the Ten-Section Brocade Long Fist. In the ring, Qin Mu vaulted onto the stage. Amid the crowd's jeers, he simply extended two fingers and tapped Aubion on the chest. Aubion sneered, about to mock him, but the next moment he was sent flying, crashing hard into the edge of the ring and spitting blood.

"The True Martial Association is recruiting students." Qin Mu lowered his fingers and turned away. The crowd behind him fell completely silent.

The next day, the story was all over the newspaper headlines. Three months later, the True Martial Association's outer disciples were spread across Shanghai, and three of its inner disciples had already reached the second tier. Qin Mu received an appointment letter from the National Martial Arts Institute, along with a challenge from the Tianjin ring. The challenger was named as Russian strongman Matolov. That night, the System displayed a notification: Reputation has reached its maximum. Level Two permissions are about to unlock.
