Could it be that the girl in front of me is related to that peerless beauty?
That was my first thought, but I couldn't think of a reason for it.
Of course, I wasn't the only one who was dumbfounded. The leaders of the martial arts sects were also dumbfounded.
They were puzzled. On one hand, they didn't expect me to be the first to arrive. On the other hand, they couldn't understand why I kept staring at Emei Nun's last disciple, Li Meiling …
"Hello, everyone!" I greeted them with a smile. I didn't know why, but I noticed that their expressions were very awkward.
Actually, I couldn't blame them. Just a moment ago, they were still discussing which sect's genius would be the first to arrive. Although one or two of them guessed that it might be me, the probability of that was not high.
So, when I arrived, they couldn't hide their surprise, but it wasn't too surprising.
"You really are a young hero. The participants of the martial arts sects are all left behind by you!"
At this moment, a middle-aged man in a Daoist robe praised me. He had the aura of an expert.
I felt a familiar power from him. If I'm not mistaken, he should be the leader of Wudang Sect!
"Senior, you flatter me." I scratched my head, feeling a little flattered.
Although the strength of this group of people was unfathomable, with my eyesight, I could roughly see their levels. Without exception, all of them had reached the Earth True Immortal realm, including that girl!
Just as I expected, there were also Earth True Immortal realm participants among the disciples of the martial arts sects. However, there weren't many of them, and I could count them on one hand. Perhaps they were introverted and kept a low profile, so they didn't take the initiative to step onto the ropeway. On the other hand, those who were slightly stronger were eager to show off and ended up embarrassing themselves.
Suddenly, the abbot of Shaolin Temple spoke, "Young man, I heard that you have mastered Shaolin's Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture?"
"Ah …" I was caught off guard.
Actually, the fact that I knew Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture was not a secret in Jianghu. On the contrary, many people knew about it. Ever since I was weak, Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture had helped me step by step until I reached where I was today. In critical battles of life and death, I had also relied on Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture to avoid danger.
Moreover, it was common knowledge that even during the golden age of martial arts, it was rare to find someone who could cultivate the Muscle Tendon Changing Scripture to the sixth cycle, let alone now that martial arts had declined.
It was said that ten years ago, the abbot of Shaolin Temple had displayed the Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture. At that time, he had just entered the sixth circulation!
Because so much time had passed, many people guessed that the abbot had reached the seventh cycle, but in reality, he was still at the sixth cycle. For this Godly martial art, settling down and accumulating was very important. Ten years was just for consolidating.
Therefore, when he heard that there was a young man who had reached the sixth circulation of the Body Metamorphose Scripture, his heart was in turmoil. It should be known that he had only achieved this when he was in his early forties. The young man was not even twenty years old. With such a comparison, it was indeed quite a blow to him.
Since I was the first one here, the Shaolin Abbot couldn't suppress his curiosity. He directly asked me about the Muscle-bone Metamorphose Scripture. Although there were elders from other sects next to him, he didn't shy away. His broad-mindedness and courage were admirable.
"Well, I know a little …" I only hesitated for a moment before admitting it.
"Cough, cough. Little guy, if the sixth cycle is only a little, then I'm afraid no one would dare say that they have mastered the Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture!" The abbot couldn't help but roll his eyes. He was simply too modest.
The rest of the big shots in Wulin also looked like it was only natural.
"Hehe."
I smiled and didn't explain. If I told them that my Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture had reached the seventh cycle not long ago, what would they think?
In fact, the reason why I could walk the ropeway as if I was walking on flat ground, besides the Yin and Yang Qi, the seventh cycle of the Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture was also the key …
"How about it? Are you interested in coming to Shaolin Temple to cultivate?" The abbot said bluntly.
"Ah."
The elders were stunned. It was because they understood Master Qingyun's temperament that they couldn't help but be surprised.
He had always been a very 'Buddhist' person. He didn't fight for anything, and he didn't feel happy or sad. He could be said to be an eminent monk. However, at this moment, the promotion competition hadn't officially started, and he had already sent out an invitation. It really didn't make sense …
"Hey, Master Qingyun, what do you mean? The competition hasn't started yet. According to the process, it shouldn't be the competition for people!
It's true that he has the Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture, but as far as I know, he also has an inexplicable relationship with Wudang. "
Not far away, the middle-aged man with the demeanor of an immortal said anxiously. He showed an expression that said 'if you take the initiative again, I'll fight with you'.
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little strange. Everyone looked at each other and had the same thought. This was definitely the most intense competition in the history of the promotion competition!
