Chapter 448: North City Martial Arts School

The reason she looked forward to it was because Jian Ai was very interested in martial arts. It could help her cultivate her mental cultivation techniques.
Previously, she would wake up in the morning and exercise in the yard. Since the dirt road in South City was bumpy, when the wind was strong, sand would fly everywhere. Even running was a problem.
Si Yuehan was still dressed in black that day. The weather was almost thirty degrees Celsius, and yet she didn’t know if he felt hot.
He only said, “To North City!”
“North City?” Jian Ai was shocked and blinked in surprise.
North City District, as the name suggested, was at the northernmost end of Baiyun City. It was even further away from home than Wanbao District.
This was too inconvenient!
However, Si Yuehan immediately explained, “I’ve been looking all over Baiyun City these few days. I initially wanted to choose the most suitable one from all the martial arts schools, but I didn’t expect that there’s only one traditional Chinese martial arts school left in Baiyun City.”
“Only one?” Jian Ai frowned, puzzled. “Why is there only one? Don’t many children learn these things while they are still young?”
Si Yuehan nodded. “In the past, that was indeed the case. Many people would send their children to a martial arts school to learn martial arts at abyoung age.
However, after the millennium, Taekwondo, judo, and many other foreign martial arts entered China and quickly swallowed the martial arts market in just two years.”
“Most of China’s traditional martial arts schools were forced to absorb these foreign martial arts because of competition and economic pressure. Most of the martial arts schools I’ve been to over the past few days were martial arts schools operated simultaneously by both Chinese and foreign martial arts.”
“Now, there’s only one traditional martial arts school in Baiyun City that doesn’t involve foreign martial arts,” Si Yuehan said.
Jian Ai nodded in understanding. She had never learned martial arts in her previous life, but many of her friends’ children were sent to learn Taekwondo, judo, and fencing. She knew a little about them.
However, she did not expect that these foreign martial arts would cause such a tremendous impact on the spread of traditional Chinese martial arts. If even a top-tier city like Baiyun City was left with only one school, wouldn’t there be no place for martial arts schools in other small cities?
“Have you been to this school?” Jian Ai asked.
Si Yuehan shook his head. “This is the address a person in charge of a Taekwondo club told me about yesterday. I thought it was the weekend today, so I planned to go over with the Sect Master to look.”
Jian Ai raised her eyebrows. She initially thought that the martial arts school in North City District was too far away, but now she understood they had no choice.
Because this was the only one left in Baiyun City.
Chi Yang drove for almost an hour before the car slowly entered North City District. Although it was at the northernmost end of Baiyun City, the economy here was more developed than in South City District and Zhonglou District. It was almost the same as Wanbao District.
This was also the first time Jian Ai had come to North City District after her rebirth.
After passing through the bustling streets with tall buildings, the car finally drove into an ancient-looking residential area. The houses here had red walls and green tiles. The entire row was connected, like an ancient town.
Jian Ai looked through the window and saw that this was a martial art gathering place. Almost every gate that she passed by had a plaque on it. It was stated “XX martial arts school.”
The main teaching models listed on it were mostly foreign martial arts.
Outside many martial arts schools, there were groups of students in white Taekwondo clothes. Most of them were similar in age to Jian Ai, and some were even younger. They looked to be only five or six years old.
