Then, the strange man handed him a tattered, incomplete book.
Overjoyed, young Li Qingcang immediately bowed in gratitude and called out "Master!"
The strange man scoffed, "You're not worthy to call me your master right now! If one day you truly make it big and earn a place on the leaderboard, perhaps I might consider taking you as my disciple!"
Bang!
After the strange man finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the young Li Qingcang was instantly sent flying backward.
When he woke up again, he was already outside the mountains and forests.
If it weren't for the tattered manual in his arms, he might have thought it was all just a pipe dream.
He ran back into the woods to search, but he never found the cave again.
Later, Li Qingcang kept the strange man's words in mind and diligently improved his cultivation.
Finally, at the age of sixty, he became a grandmaster.
And then it got out of control!
After achieving success, he remembered what the strange man had said back then, so he kept challenging the ranking list in order to put his ranking in a prominent position and attract his master's attention!
Now, ten years have passed in the blink of an eye!
His ranking kept improving, but he still couldn't meet his teacher!

Under the starry sky, Li Qingcang suddenly opened his eyes.
Recalling his experiences over the years, a soaring ambition emerged in his eyes.
Ahead lies the main peak of Mount Song, and moonlight shines upon the plaque of the ancient temple.
The three characters “Damo Academy” shine brightly.
However, at this moment, four middle-aged monks dressed in gray robes stood guard at the door, staring at him warily.
After a long pause, Li Qingcang finally spoke, saying calmly, "I have already broken through the Eighteen Bronze Men. According to the rules of your Shaolin Temple, I am qualified to challenge your leader! You are no match for me, so all of you, step aside!"
The four monks tensed up, but showed no intention of backing down.
One of them said coldly, "Our leader has long since retired from the martial world and no longer participates in any disputes. He hasn't made a move in thirty years, and his name on the Wind and Cloud Ranking is just an empty title. Why should you care about it, benefactor? Please leave now!"
Li Qingcang shook his head, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "Elder Huaihai has indeed not made a move for thirty years, so his ranking remains unchanged from thirty years ago! Now, another half of the sixty years has passed, and he must have already reached a high level of skill. Let alone the top twenty, he might even have a place in the top ten of the Wind and Cloud Ranking!"
