Li Huan thought he had misheard and frowned.
"Junior brother, what did you say?"
Guo Jing clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Senior Brother! I would like to learn a few moves from you!"
Li Huan was shocked, and Huang Rong and Hong Qigong were also stunned!
Are you kidding me? Guo Jing actually wants to have a martial arts contest with Li Huan!
Is this silly boy's brain short-circuiting?
Hong Qigong hurriedly said, "Jing'er, are you confused or have you taken the wrong medicine? Why are you competing with Huan'er?"
Guo Jing laughed and said, "On the occasion of the 'Mount Hua Sword Tournament and Culinary Competition,' I would like to have a match with my senior brother to see if my martial arts have improved!"
As he spoke, Guo Jing subconsciously looked at Huang Rong.
Upon seeing Guo Jing's appearance, Li Huan suddenly realized what was going on.
Guo Jing's real purpose in demanding the martial arts contest was to prove his worth and reshape his image in Huang Rong's eyes!
Back in Jiangmiao Town, Huang Rong used all her skills to cook various delicacies to please Hong Qigong, hoping that Guo Jing would master the "Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms" so that he could stand out from the crowd, be appreciated by Huang Yaoshi, and become the son-in-law of Peach Blossom Island.
Guo Jing fully understood Huang Rong's good intentions and practiced the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms very diligently.
Unexpectedly, a surprise attack came out of nowhere.
Li Huan suddenly appeared and conquered Hong Qigong's taste buds with rare and delicious boxed meals. He was the first to become Hong Qigong's disciple and quickly mastered the "Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms", completely overshadowing Guo Jing!
Subsequently, Li Huan went to Peach Blossom Island, where he not only won over Huang Yaoshi's stomach with his special delicacies, but also defeated Ouyang Feng with ease, stealing the protagonist's spotlight from Guo Jing!
Moreover, in the test of "true feelings", Guo Jing abandoned Huang Rong to save Hong Qigong first, which made Huang Rong sad and disappointed.
After being stranded on a deserted island, Guo Jing discovered that Huang Rong and Li Huan's relationship had blossomed into a close romance, which made Guo Jing extremely jealous and distressed.
In recent months, while Li Huan was away from Huang Rong, Guo Jing had been trying his best to win her back and reconcile with her.
Unexpectedly, Yang Kang and Ouyang Feng murdered five of the "Seven Freaks of Jiangnan," including Zhu Cong, and framed Huang Yaoshi for the crime.
Guo Jing believed it to be true and, without investigating the matter thoroughly, resolutely broke up with Huang Rong!
It wasn't until Huang Rong risked everything to devise a plan that Guo Jing finally realized the truth and began searching for her everywhere.
After many hardships, Guo Jing and Huang Rong reunited. With her help, Guo Jing defeated Ouyang Feng, captured Wanyan Honglie, and made great contributions to Genghis Khan!
Guo Jing realized deeply that he couldn't live without Huang Rong.
However, Huang Rong only had Li Huan in her heart. She advised Guo Jing to marry Hua Zheng and become a dutiful "Golden Knife Prince Consort".
Guo Jing refused and proposed to Genghis Khan that he break off his engagement with Hua Zheng!
Today at the "Huashan Martial Arts Tournament," Guo Jing decides to take a gamble and test his martial arts skills against Li Huan.
After all, Guo Jing had mastered the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, the Ambidextrous Technique, and the Seventy-Two Forms of the Empty Fist, and he had also achieved considerable success in the Nine Yin Manual.
Li Huan knew that Guo Jing's current martial arts skills were such that he could fight Hong Qigong and Huang Yaoshi for three hundred rounds without being defeated, making him a top-notch master!
Hong Qigong hurriedly advised, "Jing'er, your martial arts have improved greatly, as this old beggar has long known. You are Huan'er's junior brother, why fight him in public?"
"If you lose to Huan'er, how can you possibly come up with 100,000 taels of silver to buy 1,000 boxed meals? Don't be impulsive!"
Guo Jing said, "If I lose, I will return to Mongolia and borrow 100,000 taels of silver from the Great Khan!"
Huang Rong reminded him, "Don't forget, Genghis Khan harbors resentment towards you after the annulment of your engagement with Hua Zheng!"
Guo Jing asked, "I helped the Great Khan eliminate Wanyan Honglie. Isn't this achievement worth 100,000 taels of silver?"
Huang Rong snorted and stopped arguing.
Li Huan laughed and said, "Junior brother, your courage is commendable. Bring it on!"
Guo Jing clasped his hands in a fist salute again: "Please enlighten me, Senior Brother!"
After saying that, Guo Jing unleashed the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, fiercely attacking Li Huan!
"The dragon that soars too high will regret it!"
"The dragon soars in the sky!"
"The dragon appears in the field!"
...
Li Huan, unhurried, also unleashed the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, confronting Guo Jing head-on!
You only learned the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms after my guidance, and you still want to defeat me?
Li Huan spared no effort, using the same tactics against Guo Jing, forcing him to retreat repeatedly.
Seeing that the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms could not gain the upper hand, Guo Jing hurriedly used Zhou Botong's ultimate skill, the Empty Fist!
Li Huan quickly changed tactics, unleashing Huang Yaoshi's "Falling Flower Divine Sword Palm" to engage in a fierce battle with Guo Jing!
Although this set of palm techniques is not as exquisite as the "Empty Fist", it is as sharp as a sword when the palm strikes, and the moves are extremely complex and ever-changing!
Li Huan waved his arms, and countless palm shadows formed from all directions, instantly enveloping Guo Jing!
In a duel between experts, one's own martial prowess is certainly important, but the ability to adapt to changing circumstances is also indispensable.
If you are not clear-headed or flexible enough, you will be defeated no matter how high your martial arts skills are!
Faced with the ever-changing and deceptive "Falling Flower Divine Sword Palm," Guo Jing was thrown into disarray and continued to fall into a disadvantageous position.
Li Huan gave Guo Jing no chance to catch his breath, and used the powerful internal energy of the Nine Yin Manual to unleash Ouyang Feng's ultimate move, the Toad Stance!
Guo Jing was shocked, never expecting that Li Huan had combined the Nine Yin Manual with the Toad Stance!
"Toad soars into the sky!"
With Ouyang Feng's shout, Li Huan rammed into Guo Jing, sending him flying more than ten meters into the air!
Immediately afterwards, Li Huan leaped forward, quickly overtaking Guo Jing, and unleashed a palm strike called "Flying Dragon in the Sky," hitting Guo Jing in the stomach!
Bang!
Guo Jing plummeted straight down, crashing heavily to the ground, causing the entire platform to tremble!
Li Huan then landed beside Guo Jing, wearing a friendly smile.
"Junior brother, isn't it also very powerful to combine the Toad Stance with the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms?"
Guo Jing clutched his stomach with both hands, his face flushed, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He tried to get up, but his back and legs felt like they were being pricked with needles!
Li Huan said, "I only used 60% of my power in this move, 'Flying Dragon in the Sky,' which caused some damage to your meridians. But don't worry, you'll recover after three months of rest!"
Guo Jing looked ashamed.
"Senior Brother... I lost... I lost..."
Li Huan said in a deliberately serious tone, "Since you're calling me Senior Brother, don't show off like that again. If you dare to challenge me again, I guarantee you'll be seriously injured!"
After saying that, Li Huan reached out and helped Guo Jing up.
Hong Qigong laughed and said, "Jing'er, why don't you thank your senior brother for showing you mercy?"
Guo Jing was so ashamed that he quickly clasped his hands in thanks: "Thank you, Senior Brother, for showing mercy!"
He looked embarrassed and dared not look at Huang Rong again.
Originally intending to defeat Li Huan and salvage his image, he ended up doing the opposite, further highlighting Li Huan's unparalleled bravery.
Guo Jing raised his eyebrows and kept scratching his scalp, causing even more dandruff to fall out...
Without saying much, Li Huan immediately jumped off the platform, took three vegetarian dishes from the electric tricycle, and then returned to the platform to hand the boxed lunch to Master Yideng!
"Master! Please enjoy this delicious vegetarian dish!"
