Jiang Fei contacted the Martial Artist Alliance and informed them the location to meet before departing . There were going to be people in charge of escorting the martial artist to the military-used harbor .
"We are all ready . We can depart at any moment," said Ding Tianqing . He was elected as the spokesperson to liaise with Jiang Fei . It was a moment of bliss for him .
The reason he was so happy was due to his position in the alliance . The man was only the master of a lowly second-rate sect . However, he was selected to be the man to liaise with Jiang Fei because of the previous incident where Jiang Fei and Ma Xuantong had a fallout at his own turf . The result of the fight was bad as many of his sect's structures and buildings were destroyed . As compensation, Ding Tianqing was elected to take on the important task .
Since the alliance was informed earlier about having to go to war, each sect had already selected a number of their students . When Jiang Fei had contacted them to depart, everyone proceeded to arrive at different small military bases around the country . Han Tianyu had made transport preparations for everyone . Even though it was the government military base, the location of the secret harbor was kept tightly . There were special Humvee tinted with black inside and outside the vehicle to prevent anyone from knowing about it .
After Jiang Fei was done with Ding Tianqing, Ariel and he made their way to the harbor by themselves . Even though Si Tuying and Shang Guanqi were martial artists, he did not want them to participate in this war . Si Tuying was only a Level 3 fighter . Even though she was capable of fighting, she lacked proper training and actual fighting experience . Shang Guanqi, on the other hand, was more than capable of taking care of herself as well as others in a fight . However, he needed someone strong to stay with his parents .
When Jiang Fei and Han Tianyu both arrived at the harbor, they saw the other martial artists that had departed earlier . When Jiang Fei saw the crowd of martial artists, standing at one corner away from the military men, he could not help but sigh . They were all purposefully ignoring the military men since they looked down on normal humans .
"There's nothing I can do now…" said Jiang Fei to himself .
He understood that the mindset of looking down on normal humans was hard to just throw away . Even so, if they did not change their attitude about normal humans, they would be digging their own graves sooner or later . Perhaps sooner…
Jiang Fei greeted the rest of the martial artists first before heading into the administrative building near the harbor .
"Hey, who is the person of the highest rank in this harbor?" Jiang Fei asked Han Tianyu .
"It was Colonel Lu Ze . Now, I'm not sure," said Han Tianyu .
"Well . Let's just go inside first," said Jiang Fei . He understood that Han Tianyu was not someone high in ranks . It was hard for him to obtain information about the military .
"Excuse me, are you Mr . Jiang Fei?" said a military officer wearing a uniform with Major General insignia on his uniform .
"That is correct . Who am I speaking to?" said Jiang Fei politely as he reached out for a shake . It was obvious then that someone of higher ranks had taken over this facility since the martial artists were involved in this mess .
"My name is Qin Tian . I am a Staff Officer of the Special Navy Force," said Qin Tian as he stood up straight and shook Jiang Fei's hand .
"A pleasure to work with you," said Jiang Fei . When he heard the term "Special Navy Force", he immediately understood that it was a newly-formed branch of the military force that operated the alien machines that Jiang Fei had just given them . It was only natural for them to incorporate a few members of the Navy Force into this new branch . Jiang Fei did not care about that since everything about operations should be handled by the military .
"Mr . Jiang Fei, I am responsible for all operations for this coming war . If you have anything that needs an inquiry, please ask without reservations," said Qin Tian politely .
"I will . We will be in your care," said Jiang Fei .
"Mr . Jiang Fei . If you and the martial artists over there are ready, we can proceed with boarding," said Qin Tian . The conversation was over and serious matters came into play; the man's tone changed immediately then .
"Yes . After docking in Japan, I hope that the Navy will be cooperative with the martial artists to fight against the Mutants," said Jiang Fei .
"Likewise, Mr . Jiang Fei," said Qin Tian .
"Very well then, please start the boarding procedure," said Jiang Fei before leaving the building . He then made his way to the martial artists to talk to them .
At that moment, transport airships that were ferrying other martial artists had arrived and landed safely at a nearby landing zone . Large groups of martial artists came out and gathered before starting to talk aloud . It was rare for martial artists to gather in such a large number since the alliance was not a rigid and tight organization .
"I can't remember the last time we had such a large gathering . If my memory serves me right, it should be the previous Wulin Gathering!"
"That's more than ten years ago… Look at these young folks . They are nothing like us . So uncivilized… I'm not even surprised if these young ones had forgotten about us!"
"You're right about that one, brother . You know what we should do after this commotion? We should organize more Wulin Gathering or there will be less of those who could truly appreciate Chinese martial arts . "
"Heh . I'd like to see that . Youngsters these days can't even spar properly . We used to walk away with broken bones and could still fight until we pass out… Sigh…"
…
The older generation was greatly disappointed when they recognized the younger lots that were chatting loudly with each other . It was truly inevitable . As time went by, fewer and fewer would be willing to pay the cost to learn martial arts . People of the current generation were not willing to wake up at the crack of dawn just to go through a hellish training session . The motivation to learn was just one minor factor . The greater factor was that there were very few humans born with the knack to learn martial arts . Jiang Fei was one of them . He was born with Qi points sealed since birth . Without the ring, it was impossible for him to learn martial arts . Each day, few humans were born with Qi flow and even fewer that had a natural talent for martial arts . It was not a mystery as to why there were lesser martial artists as the years went by .
There were about 600 to 700 martial artists gathered that day . More than half of them were Level 2 and 3 fighters . There were only over a hundred Level 4 fighters .
"Are there any Level 5 fighters here?" said Jiang Fei to 0541 .
"No Omega level beings detected in close proximity," said 0541 .
"Mhm…"
It seemed that the Level 5 masters were not involved . It could mean that they did not deem this war as worthy enough to make an appearance . Perhaps they would show up if it meant that their entire sect was at stake . Although he could only hope for it, it did not come as a surprise that there were no Level 5 masters then .
Jiang Fei did not really mind it since the Mutants shared the same mindset . Unless it involved the likelihood of their nation or the entire world getting destroyed, no Level 5 Metahuman would want to get involved . To them, it was nothing but child's play .
