The fact that Li Qingcang was able to defeat Elder Huaihai had a huge impact.
After all, Elder Huaihai was a true senior in the martial arts world, and he was of the same generation as Fang Tianhua, the Martial Saint of yesteryear!
After this news broke, public opinion gradually began to turn in Li Qingcang's favor.
At this moment, at the Fenglei Martial Arts School.
Liu Jingwu remained calm upon receiving the news.
They continued practicing Professor Lin Yu's Pine and Cypress Fist on the plum blossom stakes.
Click! Click!
Each step and each punch landed precisely, creating a deafening explosion in the air.
After many days of intensive training, Liu Jingwu's Songbaiquan (Pine and Cypress Boxing) had reached a level of consummate skill.
call!
Fifteen minutes later, he stepped down from the plum blossom stakes, took a towel from his disciple, and wiped the sweat from his neck.
His disciples, however, were already in a state of great anxiety.
"Master, aren't you worried at all? I heard that Li Qingcang is coming back soon!"
"This old bastard is extremely arrogant, even making all the major families in Guanzhong kneel and bow ten miles outside the city to welcome him!"
"Some families have already made it clear that they are prepared to go out of the city to welcome them!"
“And some families even dared to spout such arrogant words, saying that our master should also come out of the city to kneel and welcome him! This is simply outrageous!”
Some disciples were uneasy, while others were filled with righteous indignation.
The news that Li Qingcang was coming back put the Martial Arts Association in an awkward position.
Those martial arts schools that were originally affiliated with the martial arts association are now observing and acting as fence-sitters.
Some even went so far as to change their flags and loudly advocate for the revival of the Martial Alliance!
Their martial arts association had just enjoyed a few good days, and the martial arts world was gradually getting back on track, but unexpectedly, due to a piece of news, the situation changed drastically and became turbulent again.
At this moment, Liu Jingwu finally spoke, saying calmly, "In the martial arts world, strength is paramount. I have just stepped into the Grandmaster realm, and many people outwardly obey, but inwardly they are very resentful! But this is fine, what is bound to happen will happen! When Li Qingcang returns to Guanzhong, I will definitely have a battle with him!"
All the disciples were startled.
"Master, you..."
Liu Jingwu's eyes gradually hardened, and he said coldly, "That's right! Your master has decided to participate in this martial arts tournament!"
"Master, you mustn't!"
"You've only just advanced to Grandmaster, your strength isn't stable yet! Why fight over a moment's pride!"
“That’s right! Martial arts tournaments are usually a stage for the leaders of major sects and the older generation of grandmasters to compete. Why don’t you wait until your skills are solidified before participating in the next martial arts tournament?”
"That's right! The martial arts tournament requires signing a waiver of life and death. Master, please think it over!"
All the disciples knelt down and begged Liu Jingwu to change his mind.
The Martial Arts Tournament is known as the arena for the older generation of gladiatorial combatants.
Those who can participate in the martial arts tournament are undoubtedly renowned figures, people who were already famous in the martial arts world decades ago!
Some of these ancient monsters are even over a hundred years old.
Compared to these people, Liu Jingwu is still very young, and no one would say anything even if he didn't participate in this martial arts tournament.
At that moment, he volunteered to participate in the martial arts tournament. His disciples were all stunned.
Liu Jingwu remained calm and said lightly, "Two years ago, I was intimidated by Li Qingcang and became paranoid, suffering from a mental illness! This was a great humiliation! Every time I think about it over the years, I feel extremely ashamed. This matter has become a demon in my heart!"
"Now that I have reached the level of a grandmaster, and with Master Lin guiding me in unparalleled boxing techniques, I am confident that I may not be unable to fight him!"
At this point, Liu Jingwu's eyes flashed with intense fighting spirit: "Moreover, the Bodhidharma Academy has not personally explained the cause of Elder Huaihai's death. I think this matter is mostly just a gimmick. Don't idolize this person. Li Qingcang is nothing special!"
The disciples all looked stunned.
They were all stunned by their master's blind confidence and were at a loss for what to do, not knowing how to persuade him.
"Well said! Li Qingcang is nothing special! I didn't expect that after reaching the Grandmaster level, Director Liu would be so ambitious and show the same youthful brilliance again. I'm very pleased!"
As they were talking, a tall, handsome young man walked into the martial arts school with a smile on his face.
"Teacher Lin!"
"Master Lin!"
Liu Jingwu quickly led his disciples forward to pay their respects.
Lin Yu is now seen as a mythical figure by the martial arts association disciples. They all revere him like a god!
Lin Yu smiled and nodded, saying, "Elder Liu, there's no need for such formalities. It's been a while since we last met, and it seems you've improved quite a bit! It seems you truly have a talent for boxing! In my opinion, you're definitely no worse than Li Qingcang!"
"Teacher Lin, all my skills are thanks to you, so please don't flatter me!"
Liu Jingwu gave a bitter smile, sighed, and continued, "Actually, I know that with my strength, I'm probably far from being a match for Li Qingcang. But I also know that Li Qingcang is a very calculating person. This time, our Martial Arts Association has taken over his martial arts school. This old guy will definitely not let us go when he returns to Guanzhong! So, I'm participating in this martial arts tournament with the determination to die. Even if I die, I'll fight him in a spectacular way!"
Lin Yu shook his head. "Don't worry, with me here, you won't die!"
Liu Jingwu was slightly taken aback. "Teacher Lin, could it be... that you are also going to participate in the martial arts tournament?"
Lin Yu walked to the side with his hands behind his back and said coldly, "My feud with Li Qingcang was formed long ago. I came to Guanzhong to destroy the Martial Alliance and wipe them out! Now that all the traitors in the Martial Alliance have been wiped out, only his bandit leader is missing. The whole family should be wiped out!"
At this point, he turned around and said with a smile, "This martial arts tournament poses no challenge to me. However, it's a whetstone for Elder Liu! I hope you, Elder Liu, will go first and overwhelm everyone. If you can defeat Li Qingcang, that would be the best! It would save me the trouble of making a move!"
Liu Jingwu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly and said, "Teacher Lin, you flatter me. I know my own limitations. I won't hesitate to fight Li Qingcang to the death, but to say that I can overpower all others, I'm still far from it!"
"Hey!" Lin Yu waved his hand. "It's all about human effort. Don't be discouraged. Come on, let's have a match and let me see how much you've improved lately."
After Lin Yu finished speaking, he jumped directly onto the plum blossom stakes.
Liu Jingwu nodded, and with a light tap of his toes, he jumped up as well.
The two then began to fight back and forth on the plum blossom stakes.
The disciples below were dazzled and cheered.
Both of them used the Songbaiquan style, maintaining a balance between movement and stillness, making them difficult to distinguish. Some of their movements were even very similar, showing that they were from the same lineage.
However, in the end, Lin Yu had a slight advantage and forced Liu Jingwu off the plum blossom stakes!
Liu Jingwu smiled wryly and clasped his hands in a fist salute, "It's all thanks to Teacher Lin. If you hadn't stopped in time, my arm would probably be ruined!"
Lin Yu smiled and replied, "No need to be modest. In such a short time, you have already mastered the Pine and Cypress Fist to perfection. Such talent is truly rare! From now on, I can confidently teach you even more advanced techniques!"
Liu Jingwu was slightly taken aback, then his face lit up with joy. "So Teacher Lin came here this time to teach me a new secret technique?"
