Chapter 70: Analyzing the Martial Arts Competition Video 1

Am I being sidelined?

The gang hasn't even been officially established, yet this gang leader is already being sidelined?

That shouldn't be the case; I probably just don't understand the gang's organizational structure well enough. I should ask for clarification.

Facing Facing Cang Luo thought for a moment; he was reluctant to ask Wang Fuhai and the others, for if he did, it would make him look ignorant, not even knowing the powers of a gang leader. How could he be a gang leader then? How could he command respect?

He looked around; Gan Lei was the first to pledge allegiance to him, so he would ask him.

Facing Facing Cang Luo whispered, "Junior Brother Gan, the Deputy Gang Leader of Internal Affairs manages supplies, and the Deputy Gang Leader of Daily Affairs handles routine matters. So what does the Gang Leader manage? What powers does he have?"

Gan Lei looked at Facing Facing Cang Luo strangely, but didn't overthink it, and immediately whispered back, "The Gang Leader manages everything, or can manage nothing. His greatest power is the authority to appoint and dismiss gang members."

Facing Facing Cang Luo instantly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; having the power of appointment and dismissal meant it was OK. However, what did it mean to manage everything yet also manage nothing?

Gan Lei explained again, "Because the Gang Leader is the strongest person in the gang, the Gang Leader's personal strength directly determines the gang's overall strength.

The stronger the Gang Leader, the stronger the gang; only then can he lead the gang to develop and grow, and only then will new members continuously join the gang.

Therefore, the Gang Leader basically has no time to manage the gang's trivial matters; improving one's own strength is the most important thing."

Facing Facing Cang Luo understood; the Gang Leader didn't have little power, nor did he ignore matters, but simply had no time, unless the Gang Leader had abundant energy and was willing to interfere in the Deputy Gang Leaders' affairs.

To summarize in one sentence: the Gang Leader is the gang's highest combat power. If you are strong, the Deputy Gang Leaders will listen to you; if you are weak, they might sideline you, or even replace you.

Indeed, this is the Lord's world where everything is decided by strength.

After understanding his powers, Facing Facing Cang Luo began to consider the candidate for Deputy Gang Leader of Daily Affairs.

Facing Facing Cang Luo scanned the crowd, looking at Gan Lei and the others; he couldn't let them take the post, or he would be suspected of nepotism.

After looking for a long time, Facing Facing Cang Luo felt that only Cang Feng and Zhao Renwu were suitable for the position of Deputy Gang Leader of Daily Affairs.

Although their cultivation was not the highest; Wang Fuhai had a guy named Cheng Datong under him with Warrior Stage 7 cultivation, but since Wang Fuhai was already a Deputy Gang Leader, there was no reason to let his subordinate become a Deputy Gang Leader as well.

Facing Facing Cang Luo would not be foolish enough to let power slip from his grasp, allowing one faction to grow too large and overshadow his own authority.

Then he could only choose between Cang Feng and Zhao Renwu. These two held considerable influence among the three dormitories, especially Zhao Renwu.

Previously, sixteen or seventeen people gathered around him. After Facing Facing Cang Luo defeated Long Zhantian and dug out his corner, eight people still followed his lead, showing he had some methods; otherwise, who would be willing to follow him?

Let him be the Deputy Gang Leader of Daily Affairs?

No, he has too many subordinates, accounting for almost one-third of the gang's total population. If he became a Deputy Gang Leader, he would absolutely form cliques, which would be detrimental to Facing Facing Cang Luo's control of the gang.

Then let Cang Feng be the Deputy Gang Leader of Daily Affairs?

Cang Feng treated him well, and moreover, his faction had the fewest members; counting Liu Xuande and Li Zhanxing, there were only five people including himself, posing no threat to him.

However, if he made him a Deputy Gang Leader, Zhao Renwu's faction would definitely be dissatisfied. At that time, these people would pretend to obey while secretly disobeying, listening to orders but not responding to summons, and the gang might just disband.

Facing Facing Cang Luo had a headache, not knowing who to choose, so he looked at the crowd and asked, "Does anyone have any suggestions or candidates?"

Seeing that Facing Facing Cang Luo chose neither others nor himself, Zhao Renwu breathed a sigh of relief while simultaneously feeling very dissatisfied with Facing Facing Cang Luo. Thus, he gave a signal to his clan younger brother, Zhao Renli, who was beside him.

Zhao Renli understood instantly and immediately said, "Senior Brother Wang provided the startup funds for the gang, making a huge contribution. Furthermore, Senior Brother Wang's family runs a commercial enterprise, so it is extremely appropriate for him to be elected Deputy Gang Leader of Internal Affairs to manage the gang's supplies."

He first praised Wang Fuhai; seeing Wang Fuhai smile, he continued, "The Deputy Gang Leader of Daily Affairs is responsible for managing the gang's daily affairs, which is extremely tiring. The candidate needs to be highly responsible and willing to work for the gang without complaint..."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Renwu and said, "Senior Brother Zhao often leads everyone on missions, working tirelessly without seeking reward. Therefore, I recommend Senior Brother Zhao Renwu for the position of Deputy Gang Leader of Daily Affairs."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other seven disciples of Zhao Renwu's faction loudly agreed, supporting Zhao Renwu as Deputy Gang Leader of Daily Affairs. Even He Cheng and Gan Lei, who had previously received care from Zhao Renwu, also expressed their agreement.

Seeing that no one opposed, and even He Cheng was speaking up for him, Zhao Renwu quickly said he dared not accept, dared not accept. His reaction was much like Facing Facing Cang Luo's when accepting the position of Gang Leader; outwardly he showed a face of refusal, but inwardly he was extremely proud.

However, just as he was secretly proud, Liu Xuande suddenly stood up.

He said, "Senior Brother Cang Feng is also very suitable for the position of Deputy Gang Leader of Daily Affairs. Senior Brother Cang has a profound understanding of martial arts techniques and often guides junior brothers in their cultivation.

He also has deep knowledge of demonic beasts and spiritual herbs, helping everyone greatly. His reputation is widespread; which junior brother in the Xin-character dormitory hasn't heard Senior Brother Cang Feng's name?"

After Liu Xuande finished speaking, Li Zhanxing and others immediately echoed in unison, eloquently listing Cang Feng's many virtues.

Meanwhile, the person in question, Cang Feng, remained silent, drinking wine and eating meat, completely unconcerned about whether he could become the Deputy Gang Leader of Daily Affairs.

Seeing this, Zhao Renwu and the others immediately spoke up to refute, saying that Cang Feng's cultivation was only Warrior Stage 5, insufficient to shoulder such a great responsibility.

Li Zhanxing and others were not to be outdone, saying that although Cang Feng's cultivation was not as high as Zhao Renwu's, his actual strength was no lower than his.

Neither side would yield to the other, and they immediately started arguing in a heap. However, Zhao Renwu's side held the upper hand because they were more numerous, almost twice the size of Cang Feng's group, completely drowning out their voices.

Zhao Renwu glanced at Cang Feng, sneering inwardly. He disliked Cang Feng greatly; more than half a year ago, when he was recruiting Liu Xuande and Li Zhanxing, Cang Feng had ruined it...

Seeing both sides arguing to the skies, Facing Facing Cang Luo instantly became furious and shouted loudly, "Stop!"

Everyone instantly fell silent. Facing Facing Cang Luo continued, "When the lone wolf dies, the pack survives! Did you all forget what I just said?

The gang hasn't even been officially established yet, and you are already fighting for power over such trivial matters. What will happen later?"

Upon hearing these words, everyone immediately lowered their heads in shame. Wang Fuhai said, "Let the Gang Leader make the final decision. No matter whom the Gang Leader appoints as Deputy Gang Leader of Daily Affairs, we will all obey. Don't you agree?"

"Yes, the Deputy Gang Leader is right."

Everyone responded in agreement, but their voices were weak and lifeless, clearly insincere. Facing Facing Cang Luo knew that no matter which side he chose, the other side would not obey; he needed to think of a compromise.

After thinking for a while, Facing Facing Cang Luo said, "How about this? The position of Deputy Gang Leader of Daily Affairs and the posts of Left and Right Guards, etc., require my further thought. We will hold another meeting in a few days.

In these few days, you should also recruit some more people; after all, a gang with only thirty people is a bit small.

For now, let's not talk about gang matters, but only about wind and moon, drinking wine and eating meat..."

At this moment, the sky was gradually darkening; it was already dinner time.

Although everyone was a martial artist, they were only the lowest rank of Wu Shi, unable to reach the point of not eating or drinking. Their stomachs would get hungry, and they would get hungrier faster after cultivation.

Thus, everyone temporarily forgot the unpleasantness just now and began to eat meat in large mouthfuls and drink wine from large bowls.

Facing Facing Cang Luo ate and drank with them for a while, then used the excuse that his right arm fracture had not yet healed to return first for treatment.

After returning to the dormitory, Facing Facing Cang Luo simply washed up, then lay on the bed, treating his injury while taking out his phone to edit the video.

Facing Facing Cang Luo simply edited the video of the martial arts competition between him and the Kong Confucian Academy this afternoon, mainly cutting out some of the verbal sparring parts. After editing, he sent the video to the World Conference WeChat group.

Earth, Huaxia, Feng Lin Huo Shan Headquarters.

It was now past nine o'clock in the evening. At this time, most of the Feng Lin Huo Shan staff should have already gotten off work, leaving only a few dozen people on duty.

However, now, all two hundred-plus staff members of the Feng Lin Huo Shan Headquarters were present; not a single person was willing to get off work because they were waiting for several videos currently being transmitted.

The video sent back by the loser Facing Facing Cang Luo, who got lucky and was summoned to the Yuanwu Continent, showed sparring matches between martial artists of the Yuanwu Continent.

According to Facing Facing Cang Luo, the two martial artists in the match were low-level disciples from two Imperial-level sects of the Chu Kingdom on the Yuanwu Continent; one was an outer sect disciple of the Profound Heaven Gate, and the other was an outer courtyard disciple of the Kong Sheng Sage Academy.

They had seen countless videos of human martial artists fighting demonic beasts; Facing Facing Cang Luo had sent over twenty such videos in total, all showing his battles against first-rank demonic beasts in the beast mountains.

But they had never seen videos of fights between human martial artists, so they were all quite eager; even when it was time to get off work, no one left, as they all wanted to witness how martial artists from another world fought.

At this moment, a staff member reported: "Report to Minister Li, the video transmission is complete; there are four videos in total."

Li Weiguo glanced at the video filenames; the filenames not only had serial numbers but also noted the cultivation levels of both sides in the match, though they did not include the names of the two fighters.

"Play them in order on the big screen."

After speaking, Li Weiguo quickly moved to sit in front of the big screen, and immediately a secretary brought over a cup of strong tea.

Some staff members with no work in hand also pulled up chairs and sat down to watch; the higher the rank, the closer they sat. Besides Li Weiguo, two others sat in the first row.

Sitting to Li Weiguo's left was a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit named Zhang Baojia, the new Deputy Minister of Feng Lin Huo Shan who had succeeded Chen Jun.

Zhang Baojia was in charge of the Combat Group "Fire" and the Intelligence Group "Wind" of Feng Lin Huo Shan, while Li Weiguo was in charge of the Comprehensive Logistics Group "Mountain" and the Research and Development Group "Forest" of Feng Lin Huo Shan.

Sitting to Li Weiguo's right was a young man wearing the uniform of the Feng Lin Huo Shan Combat Group; although his military rank was only Colonel, he enjoyed the treatment of a Major General, which is why he could sit beside Li Weiguo.

No one knew his real name; they only knew his codename was "Cold Sword," the best of the best among the millions of soldiers in Huaxia, and he was currently the ace elite of the Feng Lin Huo Shan Combat Group.

Facing Facing Cang Luo's military boxing had been taught by Cold Sword, and this time he was specially invited by Li Weiguo to watch the otherworldly martial artists' match videos together to analyze the combat power of otherworldly martial artists.

Everyone sat in orderly rows before the big screen, turning the Feng Lin Huo Shan headquarters into a cinema by sheer force, which made Li Weiguo feel somewhat amused and helpless.

He wondered if that kid Facing Facing Cang Luo would appear in the videos; if so, he would be the biggest movie star in all of Huaxia.

Look at who the audience members are.

The Minister and Deputy Minister of Huaxia, a Colonel enjoying Major General treatment, and everyone else was at least at the section chief level; even Jackie Chan's movies didn't get this kind of treatment.

A moment later, the big screen suddenly trembled, and the video began to play...
