Jinling is a vast city, with martial arts halls numbering in the hundreds, possibly even nearing a thousand.
Any martial arts hall seeking to grow and strengthen cannot do so without the Martial Arts Association.
Just like Zeng Chang, although he is not a particularly significant figure within the association, he certainly holds sway over the fate of martial arts halls.
It is precisely because of this status that Zeng Chang often receives benefits from these halls.
This time is no different.
Lv Liang entrusted Feng Tianhai with two percent of the profits to be given to him. Zeng Chang naturally would not refuse such benefits.
As for the rigid requirements of joining the association, they were of no concern.
In truth, in the eyes of the association, there are no absolute requirements—everything depends on the money offered and whether it is enough to break these so-called rigid requirements.
So, for Zeng Chang, it was merely a formality.
