Upon hearing the word "silver," Kumārajīva smiled smugly.
"This humble monk has come prepared, bringing plenty of gold and silver treasures!"
Kumārajīva gestured, ordering his attendants to bring over two boxes.
Open the box to reveal dazzling jewelry.
Kumārajīva said, "These two boxes of jewels are worth at least 300,000 taels of silver. If this humble monk cannot withstand ten moves from Chief Li, I will buy three thousand boxed lunches!"
"If this humble monk can withstand ten moves from Chief Li, not only will I get three thousand boxed lunches for free, but I will also demand that Chief Li hand over the martial arts manual of 'The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth'!"
Li Huan burst into laughter after hearing this.
"Kumārajīva, you are truly a martial arts fanatic. You are always thinking about possessing unparalleled martial arts skills. It's one thing to covet Duan Yu's Six Meridian Divine Sword, but you even want to learn my Great Shift of the Universe!"
Kumārajīva said, "This humble monk regards money as dirt, seeks neither fame nor fortune, nor beautiful women, but is only obsessed with unparalleled martial arts!"
Li Huan said, "Alright! I agree! However, you don't need to withstand ten of my moves. As long as you withstand three, I can teach you the 'Great Shift of Heaven and Earth'!"
"Three moves?" Kumārajīva's eyes lit up. "Is that really true?"
Li Huan said, "Honesty is fundamental, and there is absolutely no falsehood!"
Kumārajīva was overjoyed and couldn't wait to get into a fighting stance: "Please, Chief Li, make your move!"
Li Huan raised his right palm: "I'll use my self-created 'Barbecue Flame Palm' to test your palm technique 'Flame Blade'!"
Kumārajīva hastily unleashed his unique skill, the Flaming Blade, to prepare for Li Huan's attack.
Whoosh! Kumārajīva's palms flashed, unleashing a burst of scorching internal energy!
Bang!
Li Huan's right palm struck Kumārajīva's right palm, producing a dazzling flame that vanished in an instant.
Thump, thump, thump, Kumārajīva staggered back several steps, nearly falling over.
His face flushed red, he felt a tightness in his chest, his stomach churning, his head spinning, his shoulders swaying a few times, and he struggled to steady himself.
Li Huan laughed and said, "My palm strike not only contained the heat of flames but also the force of a thousand pounds. You actually managed to catch it, which is commendable!"
Despite his discomfort, Kumārajīva raised his head and said, "This humble monk practices martial arts diligently, only to reach the highest realm of martial arts. I never use my full strength in a fight, so as not to injure my opponent!"
Holy crap, he's showing off again.
Li Huan deliberately asked, "From what you're saying, you didn't use your full strength to take my first move?"
Kumārajīva said, "That's right! This humble monk only used 60% of the power in his 'Flaming Blade' palm technique!"
Li Huan feigned surprise: "Only used 60%? Sigh, I admit I'm no match for you!"
Kumārajīva grinned, his eyes filled with smugness.
Li Huan said, "My first move only used 20% of my power, which is far inferior to your 60%!"
"Two-tenths of his power..." Kumārajīva's expression was extremely embarrassed.
Li Huan thought to himself, "Isn't it just showing off? I can do that too, and I'm better than you."
Kumārajīva then assumed a fighting stance: "Chief Li, please exert all your strength and unleash your second move!"
Li Huan said, "You'd better watch out for the second move, the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill!"
Suddenly, Li Huan unleashed the eighth level of the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill," pushing a palm towards Kumārajīva!
At the critical moment, Kumārajīva used the internal force of the Yi Jin Jing in an attempt to forcefully meet Li Huan's Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill!
Little did he know that each level of the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill" possessed the power of a dragon and an elephant. When Li Huan unleashed the eighth level, it possessed the immense power of eight dragons and eight elephants!
Bang!
Kumārajīva was sent flying by Li Huan, like a ball flying off the stage. He rolled five or six times after landing and was hit on the head, bleeding profusely!
With a spurt, Kumārajīva spat out blood, his face turning black.
"This...this is a divine skill from which sect?"
Li Huan said loudly, "This is a unique skill of Tibetan Buddhism, and I have already mastered the twelfth level!"
Kumārajīva stood up, clutching his stomach, swaying unsteadily: "This humble monk was careless for a moment and failed to withstand Chief Li's second move..."
A moment of carelessness? He's spitting blood, and he's still being stubborn?
The number one show-off in the world!
Li Huan raised his fist: "Since you're so careless, hurry up and come up on stage to try my third move, the Nine Yang Divine Skill!"
*Pfft!* Kumārajīva spat out another mouthful of blood, staining his robes red.
Li Huan said, "This third move, I guarantee will cripple your martial arts and leave you bedridden for the rest of your life!"
Kumārajīva was seriously injured and didn't even have the strength to get onto the stage, let alone meet the third move.
"This humble monk has unfortunately suffered internal injuries... I will learn from Chief Li's Nine Yang Divine Skill another day..."
Li Huan asked, "You admit defeat?"
Kumārajīva bowed with one palm and said, "This humble monk was defeated due to momentary carelessness. I am willing to buy three thousand boxed meals."
Holy crap, he lost so badly he was spitting blood, yet he still acted all high and mighty. It's addictive.
However, this guy is a man of his word and was willing to buy a boxed lunch.
Having achieved his goal of making money, Li Huan was too lazy to continue entangled with Kumārajīva and quickly accepted the three boxes of jewelry.
"Who else!"
Li Huan asked loudly.
"Who else wants to come up on stage and challenge me?"
The scene was quiet, and everyone remained silent.
So far, none of the masters have been able to withstand three moves from Li Huan; they were defeated in just one or two moves.
Murong Fu said, "Between us, there is no need for further competition! The position of 'Martial Arts Alliance Leader' belongs to Chief Li without question!"
Knowing he was no match for Li Huan, this guy proactively recommended Li Huan to be the leader of the martial arts alliance, thereby winning Li Huan's favor and paving the way for his next step of winning Li Huan over.
Li Huan thought to himself that if the martial arts competition were to stop, it would be difficult to earn the remaining 200,000 taels of silver.
He looked at Murong Fu: "Young Master Murong, how does the boxed lunch taste?"
