Traveling through the heavens from swallowing

Chapter 20 I, Zuo Lengchan, am not convinced
More than a month ago, Liu Mang passed the Yijing Bone Strengthening Chapter to all the worshippers and the remaining 82 escort leaders. Now, a month has passed, and under his tireless guidance, everyone has completed the transformation. In terms of skill alone, as many as 15 people have mastered the twelve meridians and reached the first-class realm! All 82 escort leaders have reached the second-class level or above, achieving a qualitative leap.

At the same time, in order to improve their actual combat capabilities, he also passed down the complete set of Quanzhen swordsmanship.

Even though this was just the basic swordsmanship of the Quanzhen Sect in the past, even back then, this swordsmanship was the top swordsmanship in the martial arts world. Even now, it is even better than all the inherited swordsmanship of the Five Mountains Sword Sects!
For beginners, one month is not enough to fully master this sword technique. But for experienced people like the second-rate priests and escort leaders, who can improve their physique through the Yijing bone forging chapter, one month is enough for them to master the sword technique and form combat effectiveness.

In other words, the Fuwei Escort Agency currently has one top-notch fighter, Liu Mang himself; 1 first-rate fighters, 15 second-rate fighters, a gap in third-rate, and countless people below third-rate!
With this kind of strength, its high-end combat power alone is already very close to that of Songshan Sect. Its low-level combat power is far superior to that of Songshan Sect. Only its middle-level second- and third-rate combat power is far inferior.

But this does not affect the fact that Fuwei Escort Agency is already stronger than Songshan Sect. After all, although Zuo Lengchan is a true master, his power is just at the peak. He cannot be compared with a great master like him who is only one step away from becoming the best.

As long as Zuo Lengchan can't defeat him, then the entire Songshan School will not be able to defeat him either.

In other words, Liu Mang > Songshan School!

By the same token, if Dongfang Bubai cannot defeat him, then Liu Mang is better than Sun Moon Sect!
Unfortunately, strength is strength, and power is power. No matter how strong he is, he can only offset the effect of Dongfang Bubai alone. For Task 2, he still has to develop his power.

Therefore, in order to better develop his power in the future, he has taken the position of commander-in-chief of the righteous coalition this time!

At the same conference podium, Liu Mang sat in the main seat and took a sip of tea. On both sides, the leaders of the Songshan School, Hengshan School, Hengshan School, Taishan School, Huashan School, Kunlun School, Emei School, Kongtong School, Qingcheng School, and Beggars' Sect were seated in order. Seeing him drinking tea, they also drank. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.

Then he glanced at Yue Buqun and gave him a look. Yue Buqun nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Last night, Liu Mang broke into Lao Yue's room and threw the Sword Manual of Exorcism in his face just before he shouted, stopping him from calling for help.

Then the atmosphere between the two began to become lively, and they started chatting, calling each other Brother Lin and Brother Yue. They talked about everything from the rise and fall of sects to the general situation in the world, and from the understanding of martial arts to strange stories. Old Yue gained a lot, and Liu Mang gained even more, because he pulled Yue Buqun to his side!
Liu Mang treated people with sincerity and frankly told Yue Buqun the requirements for practicing the Sword of Exorcism. He also told Yue Buqun all about his research on the Purple Cloud Divine Art, shocking him so much that he lost consciousness on the spot.

Then, in exchange for helping him stop Zuo Lengchan from annexing Huashan and buying him time to practice Zixia, he was asked to propose the election of a coalition commander-in-chief at the meeting tomorrow and publicly support him. Afterwards, he would offer him the Quanzhen sword technique!
Yue Buqun immediately slammed the table and said, "Brother Lin, what are you talking about? If you want to be the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, I will fully support you. Don't mention the Quanzhen swordsmanship anymore!"

Regardless of whether this was true or not, Liu Mang took it as a lie and quickly said, "Don't worry, brother," because the sword skills were not a reward but a gift to Huashan to enhance the friendship between the two sides.

Yue Buqun's expression improved after hearing this and he said that he would try his best tomorrow.

Now is the time for him to do his best!

Yue Buqun looked around, then stood up and said, "My fellow brothers and sisters, we have gathered together to discuss the devil in order to eliminate the devil's followers. But this is a big matter, and it is not something that we can accomplish alone. We still need everyone to work together and do our best to achieve something. Today's meeting is a good opportunity for us to talk about our ideas and see if we can brainstorm and come up with a perfect plan. Does anyone have anything to say?"

Lao Yue is indeed an educated man. He just listens to your words as if they are just a speech. There is no actual content at all. He is just acting as a host.

Zuo Lengchan glanced around and found that everyone was looking at him. As a famous master, everyone thought it would be more appropriate for him to speak first.

“Ahem, this, uh, well, I think that as long as everyone tries their best, unites as one, and obeys orders, we can definitely defeat the Demon Cult!” This was a short-notified meeting, and Zuo Lengchan had no prior preparation and planned to just muddle through.

Yue Buqun's eyes lit up, and he immediately replied: "Brother Zuo, what you said makes sense! A single boat cannot stop a thousand layers of waves, and a drop of water makes the sea deep! Unity was the important factor in our victory over the Demon Cult last time, and this time is of course no exception!"

Zuo Lengchan nodded to show his satisfaction and said, "If you can speak, then say more. I really can’t speak."

But Yue Buqun stepped up his efforts and continued to interpret Zuo Lengchan's words: "Senior Brother Zuo said that you should obey, and I agree with you. Unity is of course important, but unity is not empty talk. After all, people have different ideas. If we encounter different ideas and opinions, how can we maintain unity?

Senior Brother Zuo pointed out the direction for us, that is, to obey orders! The coalition should have a commander-in-chief to lead us to defeat the demon cult! So who can take on this important task?

Who can resist the evil cult and speak for the people? Who can command the army and suppress the disobedience? Who has the unparalleled martial arts to fight against the evil cult leader? "

Hearing this, Zuo Lengchan subconsciously sat up straight, thinking that Yue Buqun was talking about him, and the next step would probably be to propose him to be the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces!
Sure enough, Yue Buqun revealed his true colors and pointed out who the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces was in his mind.

"He is, Chief Escort Lin!" As Yue Buqun finished speaking, his finger pointed at Liu Mang!
All the sects were in an uproar. Lin Zhennan? Why was it him?

Zuo Lengchan's face was frozen, his hands were on the armrest, ready to stand up and pretend to refuse, but it turned out not to be him!

Yue Buqun saw the scene was beginning to get chaotic, and immediately began to add his explanation:
"I have reasons for recommending Chief Escort Lin. Please listen to me in detail.

First of all, although this is a joint battle, Chief Escort Lin is the host, and the people of Fuwei Escort Agency also account for more than 80% of the coalition forces. It is okay to say that we are assisting Fuwei Escort Agency;
Secondly, Chief Escort Lin has a deep hatred for the Demon Cult. He has killed thousands of Demon Cult thieves in the past month and has the most resolute will to fight against the Demon Cult.

Secondly, Chief Escort Lin is a top martial artist, who once fought against hundreds of people and won. He is the undisputed strongest man on our side, capable of fighting against Dongfang Bubai. Finally, Chief Escort Lin is the best swordsman in the world, and is the biggest attraction of the coalition to attract independent masters. Only Chief Escort Lin can command the entire army!"

Yue Buqun gave reasons one after another, and the various leaders whispered to each other, thinking that what Yue Buqun said made sense.

Yes, Lin Zhennan is already so awesome, we can't snatch him away anyway, so we just let Lin Zhennan take over. The various leaders thought about this and were ready to express their agreement.

"Wait!" Zuo Lengchan slammed the table, and his cold voice spread throughout the podium.

Yue Buqun narrowed his eyes and then returned to normal, and asked calmly: "Brother Zuo, do you have any advice?"

Zuo Lengchan snorted coldly and said, "I don't deserve your advice! There is only one thing I don't understand, and I would like Junior Brother Yue to help me solve it."

“Brother Zuo, please feel free to speak,” Yue Buqun allowed him to speak.

“Just now, after listening to Junior Brother Yue recounting Chief Escort Lin’s deeds, I was filled with emotion. I never thought that after the death of Master Yuantu, Fuwei Escort Agency would have another talent like Chief Escort Lin. He is the best swordsman in the world, fought against hundreds of masters, and beheaded thousands of evil cultists. His achievements are truly earth-shattering.

But Chief Escort Lin, who is so famous, has never fought against masters from various factions present. I wonder how Junior Brother Yue came to the conclusion that Chief Escort Lin is the strongest one on our side?" Zuo Lengchan had no way of commenting on Liu Mang's previous record, but he questioned him from the perspective of strength.

Yes, his record is brilliant, but he has never fought with the people present, nor has he fought with the masters they have fought against. Why does he think he is the strongest?

Yue Buqun smiled slightly and took the bait!
It has been said before that since ancient times, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. People who practice martial arts are not so easy to convince others. If you are not really powerful, why should I listen to you?
Therefore, if Liu Mang wants to secure his position as the chief commander and truly enjoy the authority of the chief commander, an opportunity to show his strength is indispensable. But if Liu Mang or Yue Buqun, who obviously supports Liu Mang, proposes a martial arts competition, it would be embarrassing and not conducive to winning people's hearts, so other people need to challenge Liu Mang, rather than Liu Mang taking the initiative to suppress others!
Zuo Lengchan was the person they chose to challenge. His previous words were never intended to directly win the position of commander-in-chief. They were only intended to point out that Liu Mang was the strongest, arouse Zuo Lengchan's disgust, and then induce him to challenge.

After someone takes the lead, other sects will naturally not want to lag behind and will also want to test Liu Mang's strength. In this way, a script in which Liu Mang defeats everyone and wins the position of commander-in-chief is completed!
Liu Mang and Yue Buqun looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes.

“So what do you think, Brother Zuo?” Yue Buqun asked calmly.

"The position of the chief commander shall be occupied by the virtuous. For us in the martial arts world, everything else is empty talk. Only strength is the real truth. I think it is better to have a martial arts contest to determine who is stronger, and the strongest will be the chief commander! I think my martial arts are okay, and I would like to learn Chief Escort Lin's skills. What do you think, Chief Escort Lin?" Zuo Lengchan was extremely conceited and felt that Liu Mang was no match for him and would not leave him any way out.

The faces of the various leaders changed slightly. What does Zuo Lengchan mean? He doesn't take us seriously? Why do you and Lin Zhennan have to compete for the title of commander-in-chief? Aren't we worthy?

They really don't deserve it, but this is not the way to deal with human relationships. Since Zuo Lengchan is willing to attract hatred, it is Liu Mang's job to win people's hearts.

"Since Sect Leader Zuo has such an intention, I, Lin, have no objection. But it would be unfair to the other sect leaders if only you and I compete. I think it would be better if there is an arena below. We will decide the winner by defending the arena. It will be a fair one-on-one fight. The winner will stay and the loser will leave. Whoever stands on the stage at the end will be the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces. What do you think?" Liu Mang agreed to Zuo Lengchan's challenge, but also brought other sects to play together.

Without waiting for Zuo Lengchan to speak, all the major sect leaders agreed, saying that Liu Mang had thought things through.

The damn Zuo Lengchan is so domineering that he doesn't even want to give us the title of commander-in-chief! Whether we can win the fight is one thing, and whether we are given a chance is another! Chief Escort Lin is magnanimous. Not only did he not get angry at Zuo Lengchan's provocation, he also fought for a fair fight for us. If Chief Escort Lin wins the title of commander-in-chief, we will definitely help him!
Zuo Lengchan had no objection. He was much more confident than anyone else present. There was not much difference between fighting one battle and fighting ten battles. It was good enough that Lin Zhennan agreed to the competition.

The question is who will be the first to enter the ring now?

There is no doubt that no one wants to be the first one to go, because even if the first one can win all the games, he will also play the most games. If he does not have the dominant strength, the first one to go has the highest probability of failure.

In this situation, Zuo Lengchan was not willing to be the first to accept the round-robin battle.

In this case, Liu Mang would naturally take the lead. After all, he has the dominant strength!

With a push of his inner energy, Liu Mang floated up into the air, crossed a distance of more than thirty meters in one step, and landed on the stage.

"Since you are all so humble, let me, Lin, be the defender. Come on, everyone!" Liu Mang clasped his fists and called on everyone to fight.

Lin Zhennan is truly a hero! Everyone was impressed.

Forget it, Old Yue is already miserable enough, so I might as well give him a hand. I don’t have much good feelings for Linghu Chong, who betrayed his master and ancestors. Old Yue is worth saving.
