Chapter 15: Realm of Perfection, Start Tonight
Everyone looked over and found that He Qing's expression seemed to be a little emotional, a little shocked, and a little annoyed.

At his age, if he wanted to hide something, he should be able to not show his emotions on his face, but this time he failed to conceal his emotions in front of so many people.

The captain of the police, Li Guangyun, who was following behind, also had a look of sighing on his face, as if he was still recalling the battle he had just witnessed.

Standing at the door of Qianming Martial Arts School with a complicated expression, He Qing paused for a moment and let out a long sigh.

At this moment, He Qing's mind was also replaying the details of the fight with Li Ming just now——

The two men first fought with bare hands.

He Qing started by suppressing the opponent with his strong internal force, but he didn't expect that the true energy released by Li Ming was even stronger than his own!

A fierce confrontation ensued, and He Qing then discovered that Li Ming was not only good at grappling with ghosts that could appear and disappear at random, but his attack style was also unpredictable.

Either they are gentle or strong; either they make a feint to the east and attack in the west, or they confront head-on with a storm.

He Qing switched several martial arts one after another, but was suppressed. Even with his experience, he had never seen an opponent with such a variety of styles and such smooth switching, and he was finally suppressed and couldn't breathe.

In fact, he had no idea that Li Ming had already exchanged internal energy equivalent to more than 20 years of hard practice during this period of time. In addition, the quality of the internal energy generated by the Xiaoyao Heart Sutra far exceeded that of ordinary internal skills, so the scale of Li Ming's internal energy was actually no less than that of He Qing's hard practice for nearly half of his life.

The Xiaoyao Heart Sutra combined with the Tianshan Zhemei Hand can perfectly imitate many martial arts. Li Ming has already integrated all the skills and martial arts he has purchased recently into it. In addition, after the system has improved his understanding, his absorption and comprehension of martial arts have long surpassed ordinary people, and switching styles is effortless for him.

After being defeated in a fierce fight of boxing and kicking, He Qing still refused to believe in evil and proposed to compete with Li Ming in weapons.

He was very confident in the Kuangfeng sword technique that he had devoted twenty years of hard work to.

However, when the two men each held a sword and started fighting, He Qing realized that he was extremely wrong!
As soon as Li Ming drew his sword, He Qing knew he had lost!

The sense of extinction, death, and cold sword energy instantly filled his surroundings. Until now, He Qing still remembers it vividly.

He had never seen swordsmanship that was so destructive.

Before he could even react, the force of his sword had been completely broken, and the tip of the sword was pressed against his throat.

I lost...I didn’t expect that I would lose so completely!
"Oh, forget it, forget it, let's go back!"

After He Qing finished speaking, he left with Li Guangyun.

As they watched the two men's backs getting farther and farther away, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Is this...a win?"

Everyone seemed to have guessed the ending based on He Qing's reaction, but for a moment they were not sure.

"Master!"

Everyone entered the martial arts hall and looked at the mess around them.

The fight just now was too intense, and the overflowing energy blew many things to pieces.

There were even a few sword marks left on the ground.

They didn’t know if it was an illusion, but several disciples even felt that there was still a bit of coldness in the courtyard of the martial arts hall.

Everyone exchanged looks in confusion.

To be honest, since they joined the martial arts school, they have never seen the master use his full strength, and Li Ming usually behaves very easy-going.

And now, seeing the scene after the fight and He Qing's loss of composure just now, everyone felt an extreme contrast.

When he looked at the owner of the museum again, there was a bit more awe in his eyes.

Li Ming still acted calm and told his martial arts school disciples to clean up the place, then he slowly left.

Although the parties involved did not reveal the result of this closed-door competition, everyone could easily guess the winner based on the performance of both sides.

Before long, the news spread like wildfire.

The owner of Dacheng Martial Arts School was actually defeated by Li Ming!
This could not help but shock the martial artists in the counties and cities surrounding Qixia Town! They also began to re-evaluate Li Ming's strength.

Correspondingly, more and more people came to visit Qianming Martial Arts School. Almost every day, there were people coming from other places to inquire about joining the martial arts school to learn skills. However, only a very small number of people took action in the end. After all, the threshold of two hundred taels stopped most people.

Now Mo Xiaobei has mastered all 36 small grappling techniques, and the attribute points he gains every day have begun to decrease.

Li Ming then began to teach her the Yue girl sword technique.

The Yue Girl Swordsmanship is the unique skill of Han Xiaoying, one of the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan. The swordsmanship is light and agile, most suitable for women to lay the foundation. Moreover, the style does not conflict with Mo Xiaobei's future practice of the Hengshan Swordsmanship.

Now that he had seen Mo Xiaobei's talent in martial arts, Li Ming was a little reluctant to teach her too fast. Instead, he hoped that she could learn a few more martial arts and gain more attribute points for herself.

After a period of time, Mo Xiaobei and the income brought by the martial arts school disciples finally helped Li Ming accumulate a large amount of attribute points.

After the consumption, Li Ming's Xiaoyao Heart Sutra was finally upgraded to the fourth level. His internal strength became stronger and his strength was close to the perfection of the acquired realm.

The system interface changed again, and finally unlocked the second position for binding an apprentice.

This is certainly a good thing. Now as my cultivation level improves, more and more attribute points are needed, and the corresponding collection speed has also slowed down.

It would be great if I could have another disciple like Mo Xiaobei who could help me improve.

But it is not easy to find a disciple with martial arts talent like Mo Xiaobei!
The qualifications of the disciples who had recently joined the martial arts school were average, and none of them were particularly outstanding, so Li Ming had no choice but to leave this position vacant.

The only interesting thing recently is that Li Ming's martial arts school has accepted a new disciple, that is Qiu Xiaodong, the beloved son of Mr. Qiu in the town.

If it were before, Mr. Qiu would never have let his son learn martial arts.

But Li Ming's reputation has risen recently, and many wealthy people in the town want to have a relationship with him. The last time there was a riot among bandits in the town, everyone had a sense of crisis. They felt that in this increasingly turbulent environment, it would not be a bad idea to learn some self-defense skills.

It just so happened that the thing Mr. Qiu’s family had the most was money, so they sent Qiu Xiaodong over.

"Why do you want to learn martial arts?" Li Ming asked the first question after seeing Qiu Xiaodong.

"In order to avoid being bullied in the academy, there is a bad guy in our academy who often bullies us by relying on his kung fu skills!" Qiu Xiaodong said indignantly.

However, before he could finish his words, Mo Xiaobei poked his head out from behind Li Ming in surprise.

"Qiu Xiaodong! Who is this bad guy you are talking about? Is it me, Senior Sister?"

Looking at Qiu Xiaodong again, when he saw Mo Xiaobei, his face turned green and he turned around and wanted to run away.

"I don't want to learn anymore, I don't want to learn anymore!"

But before he could run two steps, he was grabbed by Mo Xiaobei and easily pinned to the ground.

"Don't run away! Just call me Senior Sister. Now that you are here, don't even think about leaving."

Looking at this scene, Li Ming felt a little sympathetic towards Qiu Xiaodong. He really didn't know what sin this child had committed to deserve such a nemesis as Mo Xiaobei.

As the sky gradually darkened, in an open space outside Qixia Town—

The young and strong volunteers finished a day's training and went back one after another.

During this period of time, their Four-sided Tiger-Wolf Fist has begun to show results, and they have also learned a few simple formation methods.

Everyone feels that they can contribute to the safety of the town and have a sense of achievement.

Not far from them, in a dark bush, several pairs of ferocious eyes were staring at this place.

"The boss has given the order. We will start tonight. Let the brothers get ready."

"Yes!"
