From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"hiss!"

At this point, Zhou Sheng gasped.

Although Jiang Liu didn't exert any force, he was still in a lot of pain, and it seemed that the pain wouldn't subside for a while.

"At that moment, I felt something similar to the diffusion of force."

"You're not mistaken."

Jiang Liu readily admitted, "You used Tai Chi force to deliver a blocking punch, which struck this thin membrane on my body, and the spreading force touched my eight extraordinary meridians."

Unlike my master, his ability to reverse the eight directions, though far surpassing others, ultimately still involves manipulating external objects.

But I chose to seek solutions within myself.

With the extraordinary ability to reverse the eight directions, he will sort out his own eight extraordinary meridians and strive to one day be able to control his own body.

If you strike me with your fist, as long as you cannot break through the thin membrane I have built up by the inverted eight directions, then the vibration of your force will be fed back to my eight extraordinary meridians, thus allowing me to understand the tricks you use when circulating your Tai Chi energy.

Of course, because I only have feedback, the power I unleash is something I can only figure out myself, and it can't compare to the true inheritance of your Wudang tradition...

"How about you give me some more moves, Master Zhou?"

Upon hearing this...

Zhou Sheng stared wide-eyed at Jiang Liu as if he were a monster, then quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no! If we keep fighting, I might end up passing on all the essence of Wudang's Tai Chi to you. Not only did I almost lose my lineage, but I also lost a copper coin!"

That's what he said, but Zhou Sheng felt that Jiang Liu was like a close friend.

At this moment, he already had a goal in cultivation: to control the changes of all things in the world.

And wouldn't this ability to reverse the eight directions, which seems to be able to imitate other people's techniques, be consistent with his cultivation goal?

at the moment.

On the surface, it is absolutely impossible to continue communicating with Jiang Liu.

But perhaps we can keep in touch with him more often in the future.

"You bastard, now that you've lost, why aren't you back? You've completely disgraced Wudang!" the Wudang sect leader cursed at Zhou Sheng.

"Master, please give me some face in front of so many people."

Zhou Sheng was somewhat innocent.

After all, the fact that he dared to come up meant he had his master's approval, right?

"What face do you have left? You framed this young man in front of so many people, lost, and even had your balls ripped out in public..."

Listening to the teachings of his elders, Zhou Sheng felt wronged, but the righteous sects present would not take it to heart. At most, the younger generation in the future would encounter Zhou Sheng and, if they were at odds with him, would bring it up to make fun of him.

Everyone has a few embarrassing moments in their past, right?

However, amidst the laughter and merriment, the head of the Lü family developed a sense of wariness towards Jiang Liu.

Because Jiang Liu's technique for taking Zhou Sheng's egg was remarkably similar to his family's Ruyi Jin technique.

Reversing directions and manipulating force fields are all possible at will. Now that Jiang Liu has mastered a trace of Tai Chi energy release techniques, isn't he able to manifest a form similar to Ruyi Jin?

Just after Zhou Sheng withdrew, another Taoist priest stepped onto the stage.

"Did I also steal something from this Taoist priest?"

Seeing this, Jiang Liu guessed that this person must also be testing his skills.

"No."

The Taoist priest grinned and said, "Although I did think about it, after thinking about it, for the sake of the reputation of the Celestial Master's Mansion, I decided against it. Anyway, the Taoist brothers from Wudang have already taken the lead, so I don't need to go through that trouble."

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Wudang Sect glared fiercely at Zhou Sheng.

Zhou Sheng felt completely innocent.

"Okay, who are you?" Jiang Liu asked directly.

"Zhang Zhiwei".

Ok?

Jiang Liu glanced in the direction of Zuo Ruotong and saw a Taoist priest who looked like Zhang Fei next to him. He had thought it was just a Taoist priest that Zuo Ruotong knew, but he didn't expect it to be Zhang Jingqing from the Celestial Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain!

Comics are comics, and reality is reality. Jiang Liu had already made some guesses six days prior, but it wasn't until Zhang Zhiwei personally stepped forward and announced his name that he realized what was happening.

Only then did he truly realize that the one was Zhang Jingqing.

[Speaking of which, was Zhang Zhiwei, who started the Lu Family Compound five years ago, already invincible?]

“You haven’t rested for a moment in the past six days. I’m giving you half a day to rest and get back into shape. If anyone else needs to step up now, I’ll help you fight.”

Zhang Zhiwei's opening remarks left the younger generation present speechless.

"I go!"

"Is this the outstanding disciple of Longhu Mountain?"

"So brave?"

"Does this count as interfering with the Ghost Hand King's ceremony to withdraw from Quanxing?"

"I don't think so, right? After all, he challenged Jiang Liu, not Ghost Hand King?"

"It has to be said that Jiang Liu found a loophole to withdraw from the Quanxing ritual!"

"..."

# Chapter 20 A Zhang with a different surname? The arrogant Zhang!

"Old Celestial Master, your disciple is amazing!"

Many sect leaders in the vicinity gave Zhang Jingqing a thumbs up.

"Hmph, he's nothing but a rebellious disciple! I told him not to go up there, but he insisted on going anyway! He's such a worry!"

That's what she said, but anyone with eyes could see the confidence and smugness in Zhang Jingqing's eyes.

Without his consent—

How could Zhang Zhiwei dare to go up there?

"Brothers from Longhu Mountain, let me have a go at you."

The Huode Sect side.

The boy named Fengping jumped out.

Just as they made their move, everyone heard a crisp slap.

Snapped!

Just once!

Fengping has collapsed!

At that moment, the entire venue fell silent.

This scene looks familiar... thankfully, Lu Jin wasn't brought along.

Only then did Zuo Ruotong truly begin to pay attention to Zhang Zhiwei.

Six days ago, he flattered Zhang Jingqing, saying that only Zhang Zhiwei could fight Jiang Liu. It was just polite flattery, but now that he has seen Zhang Zhiwei's skills, he immediately realized his abilities.

Like Jiang Liu, he was already able to exchange blows with him, the head of the Sanyi Sect.

Jiang Liu was a disciple of Ghost Hand King, learning the skill of reversing the eight directions. He also has an innate ability: God Sealing. He thought it was a once-in-a-millennium talent, but there is actually a person with such extraordinary talent in Longhu Mountain.

When Master Chu of the Huode Sect saw that Feng Ping couldn't even withstand a single move from Zhang Zhiwei, he narrowed his eyes and loudly flattered Zhang Jingqing, saying, "Old Celestial Master, your disciple is amazing! Unlike my disciple, who is utterly useless!"

"What are you saying?"

Zhang Jingqing was naturally happy, but she looked worried and berated Zhang Zhiwei, "That kid has no manners at all. If I were to pass away, he wouldn't know what to do!"

Master Chu's eyelids twitched, he chuckled dryly, and shouted at Feng Ping, who was lying on the ground, "If you're not unconscious, get up. What kind of behavior is it to lie there like that?"

Fengping then got up, his cheeks slightly red and swollen, his mouth and nose running, looking quite comical, which made the other young people laugh out loud.

Fortunately, he came from a major sect and wouldn't hold a grudge. He even clasped his hands in a fist salute to Zhang Zhiwei and said, "Brother Zhang, I admire you. Let's fight again sometime in the future."

"Okay."

Zhang Zhiwei smiled and agreed.

But his smile gave Fengping a gloomy feeling, which frightened him into taking a step back.

This infuriated Sect Leader Chu even more. He personally stepped in, dragged him back to the outer perimeter, and said fiercely, "Does it hurt that much?"

"Have."

Feng Ping nodded, a hint of fear appearing in his eyes as he looked at Zhang Zhiwei.

"Hmph, for the next five years, I will personally train you."

Master Chu said in a low voice, "Five years from now, it will be the 80th birthday of the Lu family patriarch. At that time, all the extraordinary people from various sects will come to congratulate him. The younger generation will definitely have a sparring match. If you lose to Zhang Zhiwei so easily then, I will not forgive you."

Fengping: "..."

At this moment, Jiang Liu also spoke up, asking, "I've also heard of the Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain. This 'Zhang' of yours—"

"It's a false surname."

Zhang Zhiwei answered quickly with a smile.

At this moment, the leaders of the other sects all looked at Zhang Jingqing.

Is it a surname?

In other words, Zhang Zhiwei is Zhang Jingqing's chosen disciple and is very likely to inherit the position of the next Celestial Master!

Such cultivation, and at such a young age—

No wonder Zhang Jingqing brought it out.

So this is a young Taoist master!

"No, I'm asking, is your 'Zhang' the 'Zhang' of 'arrogant'?" Jiang Liu stared at Zhang Zhiwei's unchanging smile and grinned.
