Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 1721 This is very Taoist.
Even Yun Jingjing, who was in the kitchen helping Liu's housekeeper revise the lunch menu, knew why the various guards had acted this way.

However, when Yun Jingjing was working in Shanghe Village, she had already witnessed Han Li's increased appetite after practicing his special boxing techniques more than once.

Although Yun Jingjing was a little confused by this sudden situation, she knew that she could not go to the living room alone, otherwise it would be considered that she was ill-mannered and did not know the rules.

After the guards brought the cooked food into the kitchen, they came to the living room to report. At this moment, Director Su Zongqiang said with a smile.

"Han Li, how about some pre-meal exercise?"

Han Li: "If you think it's necessary, then of course there's no problem."

Director Su: "To achieve the best results, let's go to the backyard and warm up our bodies."

Han Li: "I wonder to what extent you need me to go?"

After hearing this, Director Su looked at Han Li for a while, then said with a strange smile on his face.

"I'll have to trouble Elder Song with this. If you feel Han Li is capable of fighting several people, then increase that number a bit. I only have two requests."

First, Han Li needs to work up a good sweat and fully warm up his muscles and bones. He needs to expend at least two-thirds of his strength.

Secondly, Han Li must have some injuries on him, like purple or blue marks, so that I can get a more accurate understanding of his physical condition.

Of course, even if they accidentally break a bone or fracture due to losing control, it's okay; my medical skills will ensure they suffer no lasting effects.

Han Li's lips twitched slightly when he heard what Director Su said, and he suspected that the other party had noticed his action of trying to hit him earlier.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Although you can't tell anything about Director Su from his appearance.

However, medicine and martial arts have always been intertwined. The fact that he was able to become a national champion in health care means he must have some skill.

Moreover, Director Su is a Taoist priest with a lineage. A Taoist priest who came from the war years is definitely not someone who is weak and helpless and only knows how to chant scriptures, perform rituals, and cure diseases.

In addition, if Director Su could be elected as the abbot of Baiyun Temple, he must have some skills to keep the place in check.
To set the tone?
As you all know, Baiyun Temple in Beijing has always been known as the "Number One Buddhist Temple of Quanzhen" and is one of the places where Taoism has been passed down.

The reason why Baiyun Temple is able to do this is that most of the Taoist priests in the temple have some kind of martial arts skills.

When the incident occurred at Xiaolingshan, they successfully prevented the situation from spreading, buying themselves time and gaining support from their superiors.

All these factors combined indicate that Director Su not only possesses considerable skill, but his expertise is also quite high.

The bruises, fractures, and broken bones that Director Su just mentioned were definitely retaliation for Han Li's earlier attempt to hit him, so that his thoughts could be cleared.

This also aligns with the Taoist doctrine of speaking out when necessary, taking action when necessary, seeking revenge, and not allowing any resentment to fester into inner demons.

That's how Director Su is now. He uses the excuse of thinking it's for Han Li's good to get others to fight back, directly retaliating against Han Li's actions, and then he still wants to praise Han Li in the end.

This is simply...
Although Han Li had figured it out, for the sake of his lifespan and his future happiness, he could only silently accept the ensuing beating.

However, Han Li quickly adjusted his mood. Wasn't this a sparring match where he was outnumbered and no one was going to die? This was much easier and safer than when he went to avenge his master.

When the elders heard what Director Su said, they looked at Elder Song with a hint of amusement in their eyes. Deploying troops was basic maneuvering for them. Even though they hadn't had many opportunities to actually do it in recent years, that ability, ingrained in their very being, was unforgettable. They could be said to be ready to don their uniforms and go into battle at any time should their superiors need them.

However, this choice made by Director Su is not easy. This is not a battle between machine guns and cannons in the military, but a struggle of individual abilities. These are two completely different situations.

In this kind of fight, too few people won't work, and too many people won't work either. How to achieve the best effect depends entirely on Old Song's judgment and insight.

If Elder Song made a good choice, then there's no problem, because he's the only one among the elders who practices internal martial arts, and he's also considered half of Han Li's teacher, so it's normal for him to make such a judgment.

But if Elder Song makes a bad choice, it would be a misjudgment and mismanagement of both sides, and then the elders would have another reason to tease him in the future.

Just when everyone was looking forward to how Elder Song would make his selection, he unexpectedly abandoned all pretense of martial ethics and simply threw out the question.

"Han Li, all I know is that you have now reached the advanced stage of Dark Force. However, sparring with your comrades is to find each other's weaknesses and help each other to improve. No one should use 'force'."

I can now reveal to you that the bodyguards of our group have basically reached the peak of ordinary people's boxing skills, and each of them has a wealth of combat experience.

While your height, size, and long arms and legs give you an advantage, this advantage is not as obvious in their presence.

They might not win in a one-on-one fight, but they won't fall too far behind either.

If it were a life-or-death struggle, any one of them could take you down with minimal cost.

Moreover, they are proficient in various cooperative tactics, and the effect of one plus one is far greater than two.

Okay, all I've said is to give you the choice. Think carefully about how many people you'd like to spar with at the same time.

Old Song's words were half guidance and half a warning to Han Li, and successfully got rid of this hot potato.

Although the elders agreed, they were not satisfied with Elder Song's excuse. If the choice was given to Han Li, wouldn't they lose one more reason to tease Elder Song in the future?

While the elders were trying to provoke Elder Song into giving him back the choice, Han Li was seriously considering the number of people he could accept fighting at the same time.

These guards are no ordinary people; each of them possesses exceptional skills and their own unique abilities.

Alone? No way.

Given Han Li's height, strength, and long arms and legs, this would be a bit of bullying, and it wouldn't achieve the effect of fully warming up and consuming two-thirds of one's own strength.

Two people? That won't work either.

This wasn't Han Li being arrogant, but rather his increasingly powerful physique giving him a certain level of confidence.

Three people? That number should be just right.

Even if he were to fall into a disadvantageous position and be beaten, it would still be within Han Li's tolerance level.

Four people? That's a number we could try.

That's what I'm afraid of.
