"Chief Chen, that might not be the case."
Li Qingyang smiled and put the braid back on.
The three scars on the front half of his head had been dealt with long ago. Now that he was wearing the braid again, he looked no different from a normal person.
"Shaolin Temple's True Yan naturally can't join the Heaven and Earth Society to avoid implicating the entire Shaolin Temple.”
"However, Li Qingyang, an unaffiliated person in the pugilistic world, can join the Heaven and Earth Society and help the people with lofty ideals to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.”
" Is Young Master Li serious?!"
Chen Jinnan understood what Li Qingyang meant and looked at him with bright eyes.
Li Qingyang nodded slightly and said,"
"Absolutely true!"
"Good!"
Chen Jinnan was overjoyed.
"Let's go to the headquarters of the Heaven and Earth Society and hold the ceremony for Young Master Li and Little Treasure!!”
…………
That night, the few of them in disguise successfully left the capital.
As Hall Master Zhou's injuries were not light, Li Qingyang and the others arranged for him to stay in a Heaven and Earth Society branch after they left the capital region.
Chen Jinnan, Li Qingyang, and Wei Xiaobao rode lightly towards Jiangnan.
Along the way, Li Qingyang naturally wouldn't let go of a rare opportunity to discuss martial arts with Chen Jinnan. He had gained a lot from the exchange.
Chen Jinnan was a top expert in the world, the best in Jiangnan. He was skilled in martial arts and had dabbled in many things.
Li Qingyang was also an orthodox Shaolin disciple. He had a solid foundation in martial arts, and he often found new paths and came up with strange ideas. He had many unique insights.
The two of them would often spar with each other in the end. Although Li Qingyang had hidden a lot of his Divine Power, it still amazed Chen Jinnan.
During the exchange, they verified what they had learned, and both of them gained a lot.
On this day, on a certain official road leading to Jiangnan.
The summer storm came without warning.
The torrential rain washed over the world, making it difficult for them to travel. Fortunately, the three of them found a canopy nearby and hid under it.
"There's actually a canopy in this remote place. How strange!”
Wei Xiaobao looked at the rain and clicked his tongue.
Li Qingyang ignored Wei Xiaobao and started chatting with Chen Jinnan. Suddenly, the latter mentioned,
"In recent decades, your Shaolin Temple has been keeping a low profile and hiding from the world. I have roamed the Jiangnan coastal area for thirty years and have seen countless martial arts heroes.”
"But in the past thirty years, I have only seen three monks from Shaolin Temple, including you.”
"Oh?"
Li Qingyang raised an eyebrow, but there was not much surprise on his face.
The metal-elemental Wuxia world was the same, even in the movie world.
Ever since the rise of the Sun Moon Sect in the late Ming Dynasty, Invincible East had forced Shaolin and Wudang to seal off the sect for fifty years.
He had finally recovered his strength, but he encountered refugees everywhere at the end of the Ming Dynasty. The world was in chaos, and then the Manchu Qing entered the pass and massacred wantonly.
They had suffered many calamities, and the experts were all dead or injured. Many of their martial arts skills had been lost.
"In recent years, Shaolin Temple has indeed become more low-key and secluded from the world.”
"Maybe many years later, Shaolin Temple will become a tourist attraction?”
Li Qingyang smiled brightly.
"A tourist attraction?"
Chen Jinnan was confused, and Li Qingyang did not explain.
He looked at the curtain of rain between heaven and earth and muttered in his heart,
"System, how do I upgrade my ant strength? How should he fuse the new Beast King's Power?!”
After the fight with Chen Jinnan, he felt that he was not strong enough.
If he had enough strength, he could have forcefully obtained all the absolute arts. There was no need for him to carry out his plan and think of a way to obtain them according to the plot.
His martial arts might not improve by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, but the power of a Beast King was completely possible.
"When the host's physique and spiritual will reach the next critical point, you will be able to increase the power of ants or fuse with the power of a new Beast King.”
The system's voice was still cold, but this time, it sounded pleasant to Li Qingyang's ears.
"Oh?" His eyes lit up and he asked,"
"What exactly is the next critical point? Can't you make an analogy?"
"It's equivalent to the physique you have after mastering Tendon Changing Classic. As well as the 15 years of meditation, his mental state cultivation.”
"Ah?"
Li Qingyang's teeth immediately turned sour.
After mastering Tendon Changing Classic, he reckoned that he might be able to think of other ways, such as taking the Shaolin Temple's secret medicine, the Great Restorative Pill.
However, spiritual will and mental state cultivation were somewhat illusory. He couldn't rely solely on meditation, right?!
"However, at least there's a direction for improvement. I'll see if I can quickly improve my physique and spiritual will.”
…………
Two months later, in the secret headquarters of the Heaven and Earth Society.
Cutting off the chicken head, burning yellow paper, swearing an oath of blood…Li Qingyang and Wei Xiaobao carried out a series of rituals.
After the two of them were done, Chen Jinnan stood up from his armchair and shouted,
"From today onwards, Li Qingyang and Wei Xiaobao are brothers of the Heaven and Earth Society.”
"Wei Xiaobao, temporarily transferred to the Green Wood Hall…"
Chen Jinnan paused for a moment before continuing,
"Li Qingyang, martial arts expert, will be the chief guardian of our Heaven and Earth Society!!”
"What is it? As the Chief Guardian?"
"The rumors are true? Did the Chief really promote an outsider to become the Chief Guardian?!”
"I'm afraid this is against the rules, right? How could an outsider be appointed as the Chief Guardian as soon as he joined?”
The hall masters and protectors below discussed animatedly, and there was quite a commotion.
" Everyone, quiet down!!"
Chen Jinnan raised his voice, and the crowd fell silent.
"I've fought Brother Li before. His martial arts are superb. In the Heaven and Earth Society, there's absolutely no one who can match him except me!!”
"It is our Heaven and Earth Society's honor that he can join us and become the Chief Guardian!!”
Hearing Chen Jinnan's admiration for a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, everyone looked at each other.
A moment later, a man in a short jacket cupped his hands at Chen Jinnan and said loudly,
"Chief, we naturally wouldn't dare to doubt your words. If you say that the Chief Guardian is extremely skilled, then it must be extremely skilled!!”
"However, Chief Guardian's martial arts are so high, and it's the first time we've met. I wonder if you can show us your skills and let us brothers have a look?!”
