I Don’t Know Martial Arts, I’m Just Born Strong - Chapter 16

Chapter 16: The Thunderous Martial Hall, Martial Arts Grandmaster!

The Martial Arts Administration, the Military Department, and the Education Department.

These three departments are currently The Great Xia’s “three major martial forces.”

Jiang He had seen a post online where many netizens were debating the rankings of these three major martial forces.

Some said the Military Department was the strongest.

It’s just that the experts in the Military Department do not show off on ordinary days, and people are unaware of them.

Others argued that the Education Department was the strongest.

Right from the establishment of the base cities, the nation had integrated martial arts into the “nine-year compulsory education,” starting from simple 【Martial Arts Basic Theory】 knowledge education in the first grade of elementary school.

By the time students reach junior high.

Their bodies have grown, and they begin to get in touch with martial arts, practicing the basic techniques of martial arts.

Therefore, the “martial arts” teachers in junior high schools are generally martial artists.

Not to mention the leaders of the schools.

If that’s the case in junior high, what about high school?

Especially in the various “martial arts universities,” where countless experts can be found!

However, those who support the Martial Arts Administration are the most numerous… At least on the surface, the Martial Arts Administration’s “martial force” is indeed the strongest among the 【three major martial forces】!

“Master, we’ve arrived at the Martial Arts Administration.”

The taxi stopped at the entrance of the Martial Arts Administration.

Jiang He paid the fare, got out of the car, and looked at the sign hanging at the entrance of the Martial Arts Administration, which read 【The Great Xia Martial Arts Sports Management Center】, with “Wu City Branch” written in smaller characters next to it.

Stepping into the Martial Arts Administration was like entering a different world.

Most of the people here were martial artists, many carrying swords on their backs, some with blood on their bodies, seemingly just back from training in the wilderness.

Some martial artists even had grenades hanging on their waists, orange bullets draped over their shoulders, and AKs in their hands.

Jiang He even saw a pickup truck loaded with rocket launchers, Gatling guns, and other heavy weaponry!

These weapons might not be effective against powerful beasts, but they are very efficient against ordinary beasts, especially in the ruins of cities in the wilderness where ordinary beasts gather. Setting up a Gatling gun at a high point can be incredibly fierce!

“Martial artist squads and martial artists who use these types of weapons… are generally weaker.”

Jiang He silently judged: “Real experts disdain to use these, and besides, these firearms are of little use against beasts of rank four and above.”

The Martial Arts Administration has multiple departments.

Such as the Public Security Enforcement Department.

Beast Material Purchasing Department.

Weapons, medicinal pills resources sales, mission building, etc.

Jiang He was heading to the Assessment Building.

Entering the lobby.

There were about a dozen people sitting on the benches, apparently there to participate in the “martial artist assessment.”

“Hello, sir.”

As soon as Jiang He entered the lobby, a sweet-looking girl handed him a form, saying, “If you’re here for the martial artist assessment, please fill out this form first, and then wait patiently. Someone will notify you to go to the assessment room later.”

Jiang He said, “I’m not here to participate in the martial artist assessment. I’ve been a martial artist for two years already.”

Upon hearing this, the reception girl’s eyes lit up.

This gentleman…

So handsome, so young, and already a martial artist?

The dozen or so people waiting in the lobby for the assessment also cast envious glances, especially a small, dark, and chubby man around twenty-five or twenty-six, who even looked a bit jealous!

The girl’s attitude became much warmer.

Jiang He said, “The thing is, I lost the bank card I use for the martial artist subsidy, and I was wondering how to reissue it?”

His card was at the hospital.

The “martial artist subsidy” he received every month was taken by the hospital.

How could Jiang He tolerate that?

“Please come this way, sir. I’ll help you check.”

Jiang He was led to the counter.

The girl opened the computer and asked, “Sir, could you provide your martial artist certificate number?”

“………”

Jiang He took out his ID card: “I forgot my martial artist certificate number. Will my ID number work?”

The girl took the ID card and said, “We can look up your information with your ID number, but to reissue the martial artist subsidy, we need a copy of the martial artist certificate. If you didn’t bring it, you can go back and get it.”

Get what!

How would I know where my martial artist certificate is?

Jiang He said with a wry smile, “I had an accident before and lost my memory. I can’t remember where I put my martial artist certificate… Can it be reissued?”

“It can be reissued, but there’s a fee of 3000 yuan…”

“What?”

Jiang He was speechless, complaining, “It only costs 500 yuan to register for the martial artist assessment, and reissuing a certificate costs 3000 yuan. Are you guys robbing people?”

The girl frowned.

Someone dared to be so bold in the Martial Arts Administration?

Just as she was about to speak, her gaze suddenly sharpened, and she involuntarily leaned closer to the computer screen…

“Jiang He.”

“Born on June 8, 2004.”

“Passed the three martial artist simulation tests on October 7, 2021, and participated in the martial artist demonstration assessment on October 17, 2021, killing six rank-one beasts with outstanding performance, and awakening an Earth-based supernatural ability during the practical assessment!”

Jiang He’s personal information appeared on the computer screen.

“On November 3, 2021, Jiang He was poisoned by a disciple of the Demon Sect, struck by evil poison, his martial arts were completely destroyed, and his supernatural abilities were lost. Although his life was saved, the mental trauma he suffered was too severe, and he was sent to the Peaceful Mind Psychiatric Hospital for treatment.”

A…

17-year-old martial artist!

And also a superhuman awakened?

Unfortunately… he was poisoned by an evil martial artist.

Jiang He was still complaining on the side: “This is too bullying… My ID is right here, I am right here, my martial artist certificate number can be found in your database, why do you need a reissue fee?”

“I won’t reissue it, can I just reapply?”

The sweet-looking girl originally wanted to say “no,” but as the words came to her lips, she suddenly remembered the six words “Peaceful Mind Psychiatric Hospital,” shuddered involuntarily, and quickly said, “Mr. Jiang, we have no precedent for this situation… I need to consult with the leadership first.”

The girl ran up to the third floor.

She entered an office and explained the situation to the leader.

“Jiang He?”

The leader was slightly stunned, surprised, and said: “I remember this kid; I was the chief examiner when he participated in the practical assessment. Wasn’t he poisoned, with his meridians and qi sea completely destroyed, and he went mad? Is his illness cured?”

The girl thought seriously and said: “From his condition, he seems quite stable, very spirited, not like he is sick, but I think I saw him taking medicine just now.”

The leader gave a wry smile.

He picked up the phone on the desk and dialed out.

“Hello.”

“Connect me to the Peaceful Mind Psychiatric Hospital…”

“Hello, is this the Peaceful Mind Psychiatric Hospital? I am XXX from the Wu City Martial Arts Administration Assessment Department, I would like to inquire about a situation with you…”

“Do you have a patient named Jiang He at your hospital? What is his mental state like?”

“Jiang He?”

The doctor on the other end of the phone seemed extremely excited upon hearing this name, his voice suddenly raised several decibels, and he blabbered a lot, describing Jiang He as an extremely dangerous psychiatric patient.

“Assaulting a nurse?”

“Beating up patients?”

“And even holding a knife to rob a doctor’s phone?”

The leader was stunned and wondered: “If he is so dangerous, how could your hospital let him escape?”

After hanging up the phone.

The leader rubbed his temples, helplessly said: “Go ahead, make an exception for special cases, after all, he is a patient, give him some accommodation…”

…………

30 minutes later.

Jiang He didn’t spend a penny and got his “martial artist certificate.”

Following the procedure.

He went to the bank counter, reported his previous card as lost, and reissued a new one, then returned to the Martial Arts Administration to fill out a form, submitting copies of his bank card, ID card, and martial artist certificate.

The sweet-looking girl said: “All done, Mr. Jiang. We will review your information within two working days, and the next payment will be promptly deposited into this card!”

After finishing all this.

It was 4 p.m.

According to Dean An’s new “prescription,” it was time for him to take his medicine.

After asking the sweet-looking girl for a cup of water, Jiang He took his medicine on time, thanked her, and left the Martial Arts Administration.

“What a pity…”

The sweet-looking girl watched Jiang He’s handsome back, sighing silently to herself.

Leaving the Martial Arts Administration.

It was time for his “Rehmannia Pill” medication.

“Ding!”

“Medicating appropriately, strength +10kg.”

Looking at the few doses left in the bottle, Jiang He found a pharmacy, bought three more bottles, and then called Yun Yanchen.

Half an hour later.

The two appeared in a noodle shop.

As soon as they sat down, Yun Yanchen asked: “Jiang He… do you remember the last person you saw before your accident?”

Jiang He shook his head.

Yun Yanchen said: “I’ve investigated some things these past few days… Two days before your accident, you had been to the Thunderous Martial Hall, something you never mentioned to me, which is very suspicious!”

“……”

Jiang He chuckled: “What kind of logic is that? Just because I didn’t tell you, it’s suspicious?”

Yun Yanchen didn’t respond to that but continued on her own: “This Thunderous Martial Hall is indeed not quite right. The master of the hall had mediocre qualifications but stepped into the realm of a grandmaster three months ago, which is very unreasonable!”

Martial Arts Grandmaster!

Jiang He quickly advised: “Let’s not investigate this matter anymore… Whether it’s the Demon Sect or the Thunderous Martial Hall, they are not something you can provoke… Let’s order some food!”

In his heart, however, he couldn’t help but think.

“Thunderous Martial Hall…”

“If it really was you colluding with the Demon Sect, causing me to become a psychiatric patient, then we have a score to settle!”
