Republic of China era: A hundred-year-old still practicing martial arts? Is that right?

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

The Westerners who barged into the martial arts hall immediately stood on either side of the main entrance.

A burly figure, easily over 1.9 meters tall, stepped forward, clapping.

"Your Highness's boxing skills are superb. The true essence of Chinese martial arts can only be passed down by your country. Your Highness truly lives up to your reputation for diligence and eagerness to learn. You've only been in Jiangcheng for a day, yet you couldn't wait to come to this martial arts hall to offer your guidance."

The people in the martial arts hall in the distance all turned their heads to look at these Westerners who were used to swaggering around in Jiangcheng. The instructors and students, who already knew the truth, cursed under their breath.

"None of these foreigners are good people. Westerners want to issue a ban on martial arts, which would break the backbone of the people. Now some Japanese have come to steal the Chinese martial arts tradition."

"What a blatant collusion! By singing in unison, they've allowed the true essence of Chinese martial arts to become a legacy of Japan."

……

"Colonel Zack." Jingmei put away her fist stance and put several feet away from Lin Ji, creating a subtle confrontation.

Jing Mei bowed slightly to Zack, displaying the etiquette due to the Japanese imperial family: "Colonel, it's been a night since we last met. Have you decided on the terms for the exchange of the concessions?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ji glanced at the giant Western man standing at the entrance of the martial arts hall and thought to himself, "Is this Zack?"

but.

Lin Ji's gaze lingered on Zack for less than a second before being immediately drawn to another figure behind Zack.

The burly man behind Zack was over two meters tall.

The burly man was robust, with shoulders almost as wide as the entrance to the martial arts hall.

Between the muscles outside his clothes, dark purple veins were clearly visible, and when his muscles were slightly tensed, they appeared as if they were being stretched into strands.

Upon seeing the burly man's face, Lin Ji's pupils constricted sharply.

This man is Kane.

Kane, the foreigner who crippled coachman Li Jinsi with his sheer physical strength.

In just over a month, this person's body had completely changed.

The violent energy and blood in his body were several times stronger than they had been a month ago.

Zack seemed to sense someone watching him, tilting his head slightly and glancing at Lin Ji with his deep blue eyes.

The moment he saw Lin Ji, his eyelids twitched slightly, and he recognized Lin Ji.

Zack didn't attack Lin Ji; instead, he looked at Jing Mei again, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Since Your Highness is so fond of studying martial arts techniques, I might as well do you a favor."

"As Your Highness stated last night, from today onwards, this territory where the Jiangcheng Martial Arts Hall is located will belong to your country." Zack agreed very readily.

"That was great!" Jingmei clasped her hands and bowed.

His disdainful gaze swept over everything in the martial arts hall, as if the hall already belonged to him.

"However, I have a condition!" Jingmei glanced at Lin Ji and said, "Colonel, I have a little trouble, and I would appreciate your help in resolving it."

Jingmei quietly withdrew her punch and took several steps back to completely distance herself from Lin Ji.

Jingmei's move can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

He wouldn't have to embarrass the Japanese imperial family in front of Westerners.

They also used Lin Ji to test the Westerners' confidence, laying the foundation for further expansion in Jiangcheng.

Zack glanced sideways at Lin Ji: "As Your Highness wishes."

"Kane!"

Zack raised his hand and waved it lightly, beckoning Kane behind him.

"Buzz!"

Kane took a step forward.

The earth shook violently, and the violent energy emanating from him caused ripples within everyone present.

Zack's face did not show any reluctance as if he were being instructed by the Japanese imperial family.

In his mind, this was a win-win situation.

Not only could they defeat the Tongmenghui bandits, but the real key was to demonstrate the power of the authentic alien blood potion to the Japanese.

Zack stepped aside.

Kane suddenly took a step forward behind him.

boom!

The ground trembled.

The bluestone ground in front of the martial arts hall is mottled and cracked, with cracks spreading outwards like a spider web.

The martial arts hall members were greatly shocked, and many of them trembled.

They vividly remember the tragic state of Li Jinsi that day.

Now, this foreigner is even more tyrannical than before.

"Old Lin is really finished now."

"Old Lin can't possibly be as good as the coachman, right? I heard that the coachman already had the strength of the late stage of internal energy when he participated in the competition." The instructors whispered among themselves.

The students clenched their fists tightly. Lin Ji had swiftly defeated Zhou Xun and fought the Japanese prince to a standstill, rekindling the flame of hope in their hearts.

But as the foreigner Kane stepped forward, shaking the ground violently, the flames were almost extinguished again.

"Can Grandpa Lin beat him...?"

"He's amazing. The coachman, Li Jinsi, still hasn't gotten out of bed."

"Grandpa Lin, run! Let's not open it!"

Not far away.

Gu Yanqiu and Liu Qingzhu's faces turned greenish.

They were both members of the Thirteen Protectors.

Liu Qingzhu admitted that if the arena had been changed, she would only have the means to protect herself.

This foreigner, Kane, is now no weaker than he was back then.

Could an old man like Lin Ji really handle this behemoth?

Gu Yanqiu had somehow produced the peace talisman in his fist and was muttering incantations as he spoke.

She had seen Lin Ji make a move.

Having witnessed Lin Ji kill a master at the half-step Transcendent Realm, she was more inclined to believe that Lin Ji could defeat this violent Western strongman.

Lin Ji's expression remained unchanged.

He stood there with his hands behind his back, watching the foreigner Kane approach him step by step.

It's only been a little over a month.

His strength has surpassed that of Li Jinsi back then.

When Li Jinsi represented Chinese martial arts in the competition, he was beaten so badly that his bones and tendons were shattered. Was it his muscles and blood vessels that were broken?

No.

What has been broken is the backbone of the Chinese people!

Lin Ji recalled the stubbornness on Zhao Qiaosheng's face when they were still in Dog Tail Alley.

The rise and fall, everyone is responsible!

This battle.

Lin Ji had wanted to try it for a long time.

Lin Ji lowered his hands slightly and moved his feet lightly.

"Martial arts break through the limits of fate, the dragon hides in the abyss!"

"Hidden Dragon Abyss, open!"

Lin Ji lowered his eyes inwardly.

In an instant, all the noise around me vanished without a trace.

In his perception.

Everyone on the field transformed into a surge of vital energy.

Not far away.

A surge of powerful and violent energy was rushing towards him.

In his sea of ​​consciousness.

With a slight tremor of his martial spirit, the jade pendant began to spin.

Commentary on the Heavenly Evolution, Part 1.

The description of the grandeur of heaven and earth slowly imprinted itself into Lin Ji's mind.

His aura subtly shifted.

"Clang!"

The black and white jade pendants jingled.

The black jade pendant suddenly shone brightly.

A profound aura suddenly entered Lin Ji's body.

At that moment,

Lin Ji felt as if the entire martial arts hall had become one with him.

Lin Ji's heart stirred slightly as he recalled an ability from the Book of Reversal of Fate that he hadn't used in a long time.

Observe the atmosphere to discern the situation!

Is this the Heavenly Evolution borrowing the fortune of the Martial Hall?

Kane, who had been walking slowly, suddenly stopped. He raised his eyelids slightly and stared blankly at Lin Ji.

"Zack, get your men to do it! Now!" Seeing the surging aura emanating from Lin Ji, Jing Mei's sinister eyes widened suddenly, and she shouted at Zack, completely disregarding her princely image.

Zack has no martial arts skills.

The strength of his entire body comes entirely from muscle mass, so it's impossible to sense any changes in Lin Ji's internal energy or discern any secrets about him.

Just as he was wondering what was going on, he heard a commotion coming from Jingmei.

He glanced sideways at Jingmei, who no longer resembled a prince, and his heart skipped a beat. He roared at Kane, "Kane, kill him!"

Lin Ji slightly raised his eyelids, his narrow eyes gleaming.

An aura of dominance swept out leisurely.
