The wave of martial arts continued to surge in Huaxia, and after a few months, it spread across the globe. The Hidden Sect was not exclusive to Huaxia; there were hidden presences scattered throughout the Earth. Under modern civilization, they had to hide and struggle for survival, but witnessing the current martial arts boom in Huaxia, they no longer remained dormant and began to emerge into the world.
Initially, countries stood united regarding martial arts and hidden powers, but with Huaxia breaking the balance first, dissatisfaction arose among other nations. However, Huaxia paid little attention to this discontent. As Zeng Jinren had said, a Jiang Chen was more powerful than nuclear weapons, and indeed this was true. Martial arts represented a force that, if wielded properly, could serve as a sharp blade against enemies. Of course, concerns about losing control had been considered by the authorities, but as Jiang Chen believed, those who achieve great things do not sweat the small stuff. With Jiang Chen at the helm, the Hidden Sect posed no real threat.
To win over Jiang Chen, the authorities promoted him from Major General to General. Although Jiang Chen had little interest in such mundane military titles, he accepted it nonetheless; if he refused, it would leave the Huaxia officials feeling uneasy. The Huaxia government allowed the Hidden Sect to emerge because of Jiang Chen's presence, but no one else in other countries supported such a decision. However, as they witnessed the flourishing of Huaxia Martial Arts, many nations began to sense a crisis and gradually relaxed their policies regarding martial arts and some hidden powers.
By October, the martial arts craze had swept across the globe. Among the most fervent were Huaxia, India, Island Nation, the United States, and Europe. Particularly in Island Nation and India, there were many hidden masters; while in the United States, most of the martial arts were imported from abroad, making them more inclusive. If we only consider martial arts itself, Huaxia might not hold an advantage; however, with Jiang Chen on their side, Huaxia Martial Arts undoubtedly claimed the top spot in the world.
Of course, some hidden powers around the world were not to be underestimated—like Chi Xu Shen from Island Nation and the vampires from Great Britain—these non-human entities could not be dealt with by earthly martial arts alone.
After six months of development, Huaxia Martial Arts had fully entered its stride. Qin Xiaoya's workload gradually eased; over this period, she had focused primarily on Huaxia Martial Arts while neglecting her family's business. Jiang Lu followed closely behind Qin Xiaoya and became increasingly familiar with Huaxia Martial Arts. However, she did not reveal her brother's identity; those from the Hidden Sect were unaware that this young girl was Mr. Jiang's younger sister.
One day, Qin Xiaoya approached Jiang Chen. For most of these past six months, Jiang Chen had been residing at Quiet Villa and occasionally guiding Chen Qizhi and Ye Ling in their training.
"Young Master," Qin Xiaoya began, "in a few days I need to go to the United States to meet with members of the Kaimanwei Family. Ever since we resolved Yang Yuxin's issue last time, another major company from the United States has reached out to our Qin Group for business collaboration. At that time I was busy with martial arts matters and didn’t pay much attention to it. But that American company has shown remarkable patience in inviting me to discuss business details in person. I found it strange because companies from the United States are usually arrogant and wouldn’t seek me out for business unless it was significant. So over these past few months I've investigated a bit and discovered that this company has ties to the Kaimanwei Family. I suspect this business offer is just a pretext to lure me into a trap for revenge."
"Since you know it's revenge, why still go?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Young Master," Qin Xiaoya replied confidently, "if it were before I would have never dared to go. But now I’m willing to face any danger head-on—even if it’s a dragon’s den or tiger’s lair. Besides, I'm curious about why that mysterious Ryan Caymanwei wanted to harm Yang Yuxin in the first place. Although Yang Yuxin's parents have kept a close watch on her these past six months, Ryan from Kaimanwei Family hasn’t given up trying to contact her. I have some time now and want to go to the United States to resolve this matter once and for all." She expressed no fear regarding Kaimanwei Family.
"Moreover," she added with determination, "this is also an opportunity for me to observe their martial arts scene and how some hidden powers are developing in the United States."
"Alright then," Jiang Chen pondered for a moment before saying, "I'll accompany you."
Qin Xiaoya's face lit up with joy; she naturally hoped Jiang Chen would join her. However, given that this matter involved her childhood friend Yang Yuxin—especially since Jiang Chen had already helped her once—she hesitated to ask him for help again. But now that he had offered to go along voluntarily, all her worries about this trip vanished completely.
"Young Master, I apologize for troubling you again," Qin Xiaoya said apologetically.
"It's no trouble at all. I have matters to attend to in the United States as well," Jiang Chen replied.
Ever since the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings were discovered, Jiang Chen had been waiting for news about the Devouring Heaven Bottle. With his current connections, he didn't need to search for it himself; he could have people look all over the world for him. Moreover, finding the Devouring Heaven Bottle wasn't like searching for a needle in a haystack, as he had a photograph of it. Jiang Chen thought he would soon uncover its whereabouts. However, six months had passed, and despite so many people searching, there was still no news. The Devouring Heaven Bottle seemed to have vanished without a trace.
Continuing to wait was not a solution. Although Jiang Chen was not anxious, the fact that only the Devouring Heaven Bottle among the Seven Divine Artifacts remained unaccounted for was beginning to trigger his perfectionist tendencies.
Thus, Jiang Chen decided to take the initiative.
Of course, while he was in the United States, he could also visit Su Xue. According to the timeline from his previous life, Su Xue wouldn't return to the capital until next year. At this time, she should still be studying at Yale University in the United States.
