The next morning, Ye Wen and Jiang Chen arrived early at the Wing Chun Martial Arts Hall for a meeting. Upon learning that Jiang Chen had returned, Huang Liang, Wei Guoqing, Wang Kun, and other disciples familiar with Jiang Chen all returned to the martial arts hall to pay their respects to their long-separated senior brother.

Jiang Chen looked at his junior brothers, who were both familiar and unfamiliar, and felt a strange sense of emotion. Huang Liang indeed had a talent for martial arts and had already achieved the transformation level. Among the junior brothers, only Xu Shichang could match him. Unfortunately, it wasn't the weekend, so he didn't get to see the future famous Bruce Lee.

"Master, something's wrong!" Just as everyone was chatting and laughing, a young disciple suddenly ran in shouting. It was none other than the one who had stopped practicing and chatted with Jiang Chen in the martial arts hall yesterday.

"What's wrong, Ah Hua?" Seeing the disciple's panicked face, Ye Wen quickly asked.

"It's the Master's wife..." Ah Hua took a breath and hurriedly replied, "The Master's wife just sent someone to relay a message, saying... saying that the gate of Ah Zheng's primary school has been sealed off!"

"What?!" Ye Wen jumped up, too anxious to explain further to the disciples, and rushed out the door.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen quickly said, "Ah Liang, you and Ah Chang stay here to guard the martial arts hall. Ah Qing, Ah Kun, Ah Li, Ah Hua... you few come with me. Let's go and see what's happening."

Ye Wen led the way, followed by Jiang Chen and over a dozen Wing Chun disciples. They quickly crossed the alleyways and arrived at Zhiren Primary School. The school gate, which had been open yesterday, was now sealed with wooden boards and thick iron chains. Many parents and children were blocked at the school gate, creating a chaotic scene like a market.

"Yongcheng!" Since Zhang Yongcheng didn't like such a noisy environment, she didn't crowd with the other parents but stood at the back with Ye Zheng. As soon as Ye Wen arrived, he saw her.

"Master's wife." Jiang Chen and the others followed behind and walked over.

"Hubby, Ah Chen, you're here." Zhang Yongcheng greeted them first, then frowned and said, "This is the situation. This morning, when I brought Ah Zheng to school, I found the school gate locked. I don't know who did it, but it's really outrageous."

"Don't worry, it will be fine soon!" Ye Wen smiled and comforted Zhang Yongcheng. Then he turned to his disciples, "Ah Chen, take the junior brothers to open the school gate and let the children go to school."

"Okay, Master!" Jiang Chen responded and led the junior brothers forward. Without any tools, he simply reached out, and whether it was the thick iron chains or the wooden boards, he easily broke and tore them apart. Wei Guoqing, Wang Kun, Xu Li, and others were amazed and could only follow behind to clean up the mess.

With Jiang Chen's violent demolition, the school gate was soon opened. Seeing the children cheerfully rush into the school, Ye Wen couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

"Master!" At that moment, Xu Li, looking in a certain direction, suddenly saw a few suspicious thugs at a nearby intersection. He quickly came over to report to Ye Wen.

Looking in the direction Xu Li pointed, Ye Wen saw a few thugs standing at the intersection, two of whom were the ones who had caused trouble yesterday.

"Hmm?" Ye Wen frowned, surprised that these two had been released so soon after being caught yesterday.

Jiang Chen, however, wasn't concerned. In today's Hong Kong, as long as you had money, even murder and arson wouldn't bother the British authorities, as long as it didn't threaten their interests.

Xu Li said, "It looks like they will come back tonight."

Ye Wen smiled and said, "Then you stay here to guard tonight."

"Uh." After a moment's hesitation, Xu Li remembered the teacher he had seen earlier and felt a surge of enthusiasm. He immediately patted his chest and responded, "Okay!" However, he knew his strength was insufficient, so he called out to the other brothers, "It turns out we have to guard here tonight."

Ye Wen and Jiang Chen exchanged a glance and both chuckled. Then Jiang Chen said, "I'll guard here tonight."

"I'll stay with you," Ye Wen said. "After all, they are many. Even if you are very skilled, it will be hard to protect the entire school by yourself."

"Okay." Jiang Chen agreed, knowing that Ye Wen was now a Dan-level master with formidable strength. If Ye Wen took this so seriously, it was likely that the other side had many people, and while he wasn't afraid, he couldn't protect the school alone.

Hearing that Ye Wen and Jiang Chen would stay to guard the school, Zhang Yongcheng was somewhat worried but ultimately agreed. After all, Ye Zheng was still studying here, and she was a reasonable person.

After nightfall, Ye Wen and Jiang Chen led the Wing Chun disciples to the school and took over the defense. Jiang Chen, who had studied various martial arts classics over the years, especially the peculiar formations of Peach Blossom Island, had some expertise in military strategy. He arranged for Xu Li and others to patrol the school's various entrances. He and Ye Wen sat at the school gate, chatting and waiting.

Ma Jingsheng and his gang had been bullying the area for a long time and naturally didn't take others seriously. Despite knowing that the Wing Chun Martial Arts Hall people were guarding the school, they still came, and in large numbers. In the darkness, there were at least two or three hundred people, led by Ma Jingsheng himself!

"Attack! Burn down this lousy school!" As the saying goes, enemies meeting face to face are especially angry. With their numbers, they wanted to reclaim their lost face when they saw Ye Wen and Jiang Chen blocking the school gate.

Following Ma Jingsheng's order, the two or three hundred people rushed forward. Some carried oil drums and torches, rushing into the school, while others raised their weapons and charged at Ye Wen and Jiang Chen.

Just as Ye Wen was about to act, he saw Jiang Chen step forward first, saying, "Master, you go help Ah Li and the others guard the school. I'll deal with the rest. I haven't fought in a long time, and it's a good chance to stretch my limbs." Before he finished speaking, he stepped forward, and with a wave of his hand, the air around him swirled, and his aura soared.

Seeing someone blocking their way, the few people at the front simultaneously swung their wrenches and iron bars at Jiang Chen. Such a fierce attack would shatter even steel and iron, let alone flesh and blood.

As their weapons whistled through the air and struck down, a scream immediately echoed. Ma Jingsheng first laughed coldly, but then his smile froze. The scream clearly wasn't from Jiang Chen but from one of his own men!

With the scream, a tall thug was sent flying several meters and slid a long distance on the ground. A clear footprint was visible on his chest.

Turning to look, they saw Jiang Chen take a step forward, and he shot into the crowd like a cannonball, moving at an unimaginable speed. The first thug only saw a blur before he was struck in the chest.

The condensed fist strength, even from a few feet away, whistled through the air and struck the thug's chest with a loud "crack." His chest caved in, and several ribs were likely broken!

This was the result of Jiang Chen holding back to avoid unnecessary trouble. Otherwise, with his current fourth-stage full-circle martial strength, he could easily shatter the thug's internal organs with a single strike from a distance.

After taking down the first thug, Jiang Chen flipped his wrist and swept a powerful palm, sending a fierce wind that struck several thugs, causing them to spew blood and fly away.

Using his near-fifth-stage strength against these small-time thugs felt like overkill. Thinking back to his days of slaughtering in the armies of the "The Return of the Condor Heroes," these thugs were no match.

Without using any advanced martial arts, he simply punched and kicked, his immense strength cutting through the air with a sharp whistling sound. No thug could withstand a single blow.

In less than a few minutes, over a hundred thugs were lying on the ground, and only a dozen or so remained, trembling in fear. Jiang Chen casually shook his head, and his neck cracked with a "crack."

"Clang!" The dozen thugs were terrified, their weapons falling to the ground with a clatter.

At that moment, in their eyes, Jiang Chen was no different from a devil!
