Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

The man, as tall as an iron tower, looked at Li Changsheng, who had suddenly appeared in front of him, and didn't take him seriously at all.

"You fool, call your gang leader over here right now. Otherwise, one slap from my palm and you're dead."

Upon hearing the other party's words, Li Changsheng sneered.

"You think you can take my life?"

As he spoke, Li Changsheng had already made his move. What seemed like an ordinary punch landed squarely on the burly man's abdomen in the blink of an eye.

"Golden Bell Cover, Iron Shirt!"

The man with the iron tower had practiced hard skills, and he had no intention of dodging at all.

"boom!"

Then everyone saw that this seemingly imposing man couldn't even withstand a single punch.

He was blasted away.

It was blasted seven or eight meters away, crashing into the dock and creating a large crater, before rolling backward a few times.

"puff!"

Seeing the blood spit out by the man from the Iron Tower, the burly men of the canal gang all felt a sense of pride.

"The Vice Leader is awesome!!"

"The Vice Leader is awesome!!!"

The man with the iron tower stood up, looking at the ordinary-looking middle-aged man in front of him with a look of horror.

"You're Li Changsheng? How can you be so strong?"

According to the intelligence they had previously obtained, Li Changsheng had only been a Xiantian cultivator for a few years.

At best, it's only the middle stage of the innate stage.

A martial artist of this strength is already qualified to be called a master.

But their strength is not uncommon in the martial arts world.

This time they made thorough preparations, finding more than a dozen experts at the Innate Realm.

They originally thought that eliminating the canal gang and getting what they wanted would be a piece of cake.

Now it seems that things are not so simple.

Martial arts realms are divided into acquired and innate.

The day after tomorrow, it won't be too outdated, but it won't be much different either.

Only martial artists whose strength reaches the Innate level can be called masters.

However, the difference in strength between those born with innate abilities is also enormous.

An ordinary innate master would need at least two or three people working together to fight against a mid-stage innate master.

Once a martial artist's strength breaks through to the late stage of the Innate Realm, they will undergo a complete transformation...

After all, once one's strength reaches the late stage of the Innate Realm, there is a chance to step into the Profound Realm.

That's a realm that only true martial arts masters can reach.

"They actually withstood it?"

Li Changsheng originally wanted to kill his opponent with a single punch.

Although he didn't know how many people the other side had brought this time, he was certain that it was definitely not just the big man in front of him.

In this situation, every time he takes down one enemy, he reduces the enemy's combat strength by one point.

If the opponents attack one by one, Li Changsheng might be able to finish the battle himself.

"With this level of martial arts skill, are you Song Jin, the Iron Tower Vajra among the Eight Vajras?"

Li Changsheng asked with great certainty.

"Hmph, I'm honored by Vice Chief Li's kindness in remembering the name of an unknown nobody like me. I am Song Jin!"

Song and Jin did not deny it.

"Where are the remaining seven of the Eight Vajras? Why hide yourselves? If you're so capable, come out!"

Although the Eight Vajras were not particularly strong, they were numerous and powerful, and each of them was a congenital martial artist.

Their reputation is quite well-known in the martial arts world.

Especially when the eight of them work together, it is said that they can even kill a martial artist at the late stage of the Innate Realm.

Inside the thatched hall.

Du Daniu peeked around, his eyes filled with deep confusion.

"Aren't the Eight Vajras the ones who, when they join forces, can take down a late-stage Innate Realm bandit? Why doesn't the Vice Leader kill one of them first?"

If we kill this one, wouldn't there be only seven of the Eight Vajras left?

Even if they join forces, they might not be a match for the vice leader.

"That's because what's appearing now are just minor characters, not all of them."

Li Changqing shook his head.

It seems that the trouble his older brother has caused is much bigger than expected.

The other party's goal is things, not people.

This means that the truly troublesome people are all looking for something now, and those who emerge are just lackeys who are paid to do things.

These lackeys are all innate masters...

The entire canal gang in Shanhai County, although it claims to have over ten thousand members.

However, as the secretary of the canal gang, Li Changqing was very clear about the situation of the canal gang.

The number of people who worked for the canal transport guild, carrying goods, was at least eight or nine thousand, if not ten thousand...

However, the true core members of the Caobang (Grass Transport Gang) actually numbered only 967.

It's roughly a thousand!

These people all practice martial arts, but only four of them, including Li Changqing himself, have reached the Innate Realm or higher.

They are the former gang leader Nan Zhentian, the deputy gang leader Li Changsheng, the third young lady Nan Yingying, and Li Changqing himself.

As for the second young lady, she does not belong to the gang.

It seems like the probability is not small. In fact, it involves Li Changsheng, Li Changqing, and even that young girl Nan Yingying.

They are all exceptionally gifted and cannot be counted in regular statistics.

This means that innate martial artists are most likely one in a thousand masters.

Li Changqing had never traveled the martial arts world; all the information he obtained came from within the Cao Gang.

This means that his judgment about innate masters may not be accurate.

Even if it's not that accurate, it's pretty close.

With the Eight Great Vajras leading the charge, Li Changqing could imagine how much trouble the Canal Gang would be in this time.

"Our gang leader isn't very capable, but he's certainly good at causing trouble..."

Du Daniu did not refute Li Changqing's outrageous remarks.

The two have a good relationship.

Du Daniu had heard Li Changqing's arrogant remarks so many times that he had become numb to them.

"They're just a few notorious bandits who've given themselves the title of 'Eight Great Vajras.' They're definitely no match for the deputy gang leader!"

If his voice doesn't tremble when he speaks, his credibility is higher. Clearly, even Du Daniu, who is in the mid-stage of the Acquired Realm, has already realized this.

The grain transport gangs of Shanhai County are probably in big trouble...

This is a huge problem!

Li Changqing nodded slightly.

He did not refute Du Daniu's words, which clearly indicated that Li Changqing also believed that the so-called Eight Vajras were not worth mentioning.

Even if the opponents are all top-tier, one in a hundred, or even one in a thousand, innate masters.

Who told them to run into Li Changsheng as their opponent?

If we exclude himself, Li Changsheng is the most amazing martial arts genius Li Changqing has ever seen.

He managed to master a few ordinary martial arts techniques and achieve a state of returning to simplicity.

Even if Li Changqing wanted to offer some secret guidance, he couldn't get involved at all.

This means that Li Changsheng has cultivated his own martial arts.

Even though he didn't know much about this world, Li Changqing knew in his heart that this must be a very remarkable thing.

Most people definitely couldn't do that.

Only Li Changsheng...

Within the time it took for the two to exchange a few words, seven more figures leaped out.

They came in all shapes and sizes, tall and short, fat and thin, but the martial arts aura emanating from them was undeniable.

They are all genuine innate masters.

This was the first time Li Changqing, who had traveled through ten years, had ever seen so many innate masters gathered together.

"Li Changsheng, you have already chosen your path to death!"

Seeing his brothers gathered together, Song Jin's courage surged.
