Chapter 34: A talent for martial arts, an unexpected surprise

Everyone present knew that the Senior Ma that He Qing mentioned was named Ma Yikui, a senior in the Guangyang Prefecture’s martial arts world who was at the Xiantian realm.

In his early years, this Senior Ma ran the largest martial arts school and escort agency in Guangyang Prefecture. He had a very high prestige and the gangs in nearby prefectures and counties all gave him face.

It was Senior Ma who took the lead and united several of the largest martial arts schools to establish the rules for this area, which have been used to this day.

It’s just that Ma Yikui had semi-retired a few years ago and seldom cared about the affairs of the martial arts world.

Now, a very powerful Qianming Martial Arts School suddenly appeared in Qixia Town near Guangyang Prefecture. Not only did it arbitrarily set prices, it also never visited the dock. This is already an unruly behavior. Everyone is looking forward to Senior Ma Yikui to come out and administer justice.

What He Qing said at this time hit everyone's heart.

"That's good. Senior is willing to come out and take charge. He will definitely be able to subdue that guy."

"The rules in our neighborhood were set by our seniors and cannot be violated..."

Everyone agreed, and some even seemed a little impatient.

They have been doing this for years and are extremely sensitive to it. They can foresee how much impact Li Ming's unruly behavior will have on everyone.

Relying on their own strength and fame to set prices arbitrarily has attracted many high-quality and wealthy customers from other martial arts schools, affecting their business. This is an extremely bad behavior that destroys the market.

Now that he has sufficient capital, he has announced that he will recruit talented disciples for free. This will make him famous and will also attract more people to try.

People are not afraid that this is fake, they are just afraid that he really does it!

If he were to discover a few missed martial arts geniuses and devote resources to their training, a group of outstanding core disciples would soon emerge, and Qianming Martial Arts School would become even stronger. By then, it would be a virtuous cycle and it would be even more difficult for everyone to compete.

The abilities of their martial arts schools are limited, and many martial artists are only at the Gang realm. Naturally, they cannot imitate Li Ming's cheating style.

So everyone feels that this unhealthy trend must be put to an end as soon as possible.

After the discussion was finalized, He Qing asked everyone to go back and prepare first. He would contact everyone to discuss the explanation when the time came. Only then did everyone leave with satisfaction.

It's another morning.

Li Ming began to check the training progress of his martial arts school disciples early in the morning.

He walked around with his hands behind his back, pointing out several mistakes in his disciples' kung fu, and received a wave of admiring glances.

Perhaps it is because the disciples' sense of belonging to the martial arts school has increased, and their enthusiasm for practicing has also increased. Although everyone's proficiency in basic skills has improved, the daily income of about 100 attribute points is still very stable.

In addition, with the income brought by the construction of the martial arts gym, Li Ming accumulated a lot of attribute points.

However, after reaching the Innate Realm, the price of exchanging internal energy with the system has risen a lot. Now, the internal energy gained from a year of hard training basically requires nearly a thousand attribute points, which is still a bit painful.

After inspecting everything like this every day, Li Ming felt like an old master. He wondered if he should hold the whole teapot in his hand to look more stylish.

After turning around, Li Ming's gaze fell on a figure practicing sword diligently in the corner, and a strange look flashed across his face.

That was Lin Pingzhi, and next to him was Mo Xiaobei, directing him.

What Lin Pingzhi is practicing now is the Yuenu Sword Technique that Li Ming taught Mo Xiaobei not long ago.

A few days ago, Li Ming paid for the burial of Lin Zhennan and his wife near Qixia Town, which was considered a good thing.

Lin Pingzhi also temporarily stayed at Qianming Martial Arts School and did not leave.

A day or two ago, when Li Ming passed by the room arranged for Lin Pingzhi, he could always hear extremely suppressed sobbing coming from inside.

Everyone in the martial arts hall could sense his grief, so no one had the heart to disturb him.

On the third day, Lin Pingzhi suddenly adjusted his mood, found Li Ming with a determined face, and begged to join Qianming Martial Arts School to learn martial arts.

In fact, there is another way for Lin Pingzhi at present, which is to go to Luoyang to seek refuge with his grandfather, Wang Yuanba, the invincible lord of the golden sword who has a long-standing reputation in the martial arts world.

The Wang family was wealthy and well-off in Luoyang, so when Lin Pingzhi went to live with his grandfather, he would naturally be able to live a life without worries about food and clothing.

But after some consideration, Lin Pingzhi resolutely gave up this path.

Because he knew that although his grandfather had some family property, his strength was far inferior to those of the famous sects, and it was impossible for him to help him take revenge on Yu Canghai and Mu Gaofeng.

Living as a parasite in my grandpa's house, I have no ability of my own and might be disliked after a while.

After all, Lin Pingzhi now understands better than anyone that human hearts cannot stand the test, the world is changeable, and human feelings are fickle. What's more, the Fuwei Escort Agency was destroyed in one day, and his biological parents died tragically in front of him. This hatred is so deep that it is irreconcilable!
Lin Pingzhi can only eliminate the hatred in his heart by killing his enemies with his own hands!
Therefore, Lin Pingzhi chose to stay here.

The scene in which Li Ming defeated Yu Canghai with one sword, forced Mu Gaofeng to retreat, and saved his parents left such a deep impression on Lin Pingzhi that it gave him hope.

It made him feel that during these years in the Fuwei Escort Agency, he was just looking at the world from a well.

Li Ming is also the strongest person he has ever seen in his life.

Therefore, Lin Pingzhi begged to stay and let Li Ming teach him martial arts in order to take revenge.

As for the expenses, Lin Pingzhi was not worried. Although he was in trouble, he was safe now. As long as he sent a letter to his grandfather Wang Yuanba, it should not be a problem to get a few hundred or even a thousand taels of silver.

Of course, Lin Pingzhi also had doubts in his heart, that is, even he himself did not know where the Exorcism Sword Technique was, but Li Ming had previously claimed that he had obtained it from him and sold it to Yu Canghai, and Yu Canghai actually believed it.

However, Lin Pingzhi did not dare to ask about this matter. He just guessed that Master Li might have used another sword technique to impersonate him and help him avoid disaster.

After Lin Pingzhi made the request, Li Ming agreed after a little consideration.

Anyway, Lin Pingzhi could afford the money, so he just regarded it as having one more disciple in the martial arts school.

However, Li Ming was not very optimistic about Lin Pingzhi's martial arts talent and qualifications.

He remembered that in the original novel, when Lin Pingzhi was in the Fuwei Escort Agency, his skills were ordinary and he did not show anything special.

Previously, Lin Pingzhi accidentally killed Yu Canghai's son Yu Renyan, which became the fuse for the destruction of the Fuwei Escort Agency. It was also a coincidence, with the help of Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan in secret.

After joining the Huashan Sect, Lin Pingzhi's progress in practicing Huashan swordsmanship was mediocre, and Yue Buqun even concluded that his talent was far inferior to Linghu Chong.

If Lin Pingzhi had not practiced the Exorcism Sword Technique, it would have been difficult for him to take revenge.

Li Ming did not have much hope for his qualifications.

After accepting Lin Pingzhi as a disciple of the martial arts school, Li Ming first taught him a set of basic boxing and palm techniques.

As Li Ming had guessed, Lin Pingzhi practiced extremely hard, but his progress was mediocre, about the same as that of other disciples, and there was nothing amazing about it.

But unexpectedly, Li Ming then taught him the Yuenu Sword Technique, and the situation suddenly changed!

The attribute points that Lin Pingzhi brought to himself were much higher than those of others!

The progress of practicing swordsmanship is also very fast, basically the same speed as Mo Xiaobei before.

Although he had only practiced for a few days, Lin Pingzhi had already mastered the Yuenu sword technique and it was quite magical.

This surprised Li Ming very much.

Then Li Ming tried to teach a few other martial arts and found that the effects were mixed, which he gradually observed.

When Lin Pingzhi practiced ordinary martial arts, his aptitude was similar to that of ordinary people, but he was very suitable for martial arts that were agile and lively, not very steady, and emphasized speed and unexpected changes.

Once you are exposed to this style of Kung Fu, it is amazing how quickly you can pick it up.

Li Ming gradually determined that Lin Pingzhi was a type of person with a special talent, and could only show his potential when he encountered martial arts that suited his style.

Previously, the family martial arts and swordsmanship that Lin Pingzhi learned at the Fuwei Escort Agency were of mediocre power. After entering the Huashan Sect, the Huashan swordsmanship he practiced was a rigid Qi Zong style, so he was always mediocre until he came into contact with the Exorcism Swordsmanship...

Li Ming understood. No wonder in the original novel, Lin Pingzhi's progress in practicing the Exorcism Sword was so fast. In just three months, he had already crushed Yu Canghai and Mu Gaofeng.

Although the Exorcism Sword Technique has the attribute of being quickly mastered, the growth rate of Yue Buqun, who also practiced it, was not as terrifying as that.

It seems that there is still some talent that fits together.

There is an unexpected surprise?

After Li Ming confirmed his discovery, he considered it carefully and formally accepted Lin Pingzhi as his disciple, and assigned him to the second vacant disciple position.

Sure enough, after binding, Lin Pingzhi's several days of practicing Yuenu Swordsmanship brought him a significant increase in attribute points, which was no less than Mo Xiaobei!
At this time, Lin Pingzhi finished practicing sword skills and saw Li Ming coming over. He put away his sword and stood up, his eyes full of determination.

"Master! I have already mastered this set of sword techniques. Can you teach me other martial arts?"

Lin Pingzhi's eyes were filled with the flames of revenge.
