"Patriarch Li, I believe we should reveal a measure of our strength. Some of those currently assisting Huo Peak Expert can lie low for the time being, making the Foreigners think our people have withdrawn and come over to stir up trouble. Then we can show ourselves and frighten them off. That way, not only will Huo Peak Expert be safe, we can also display our might..."
A family head proposed.
"Everyone, please remain calm, remain calm. I'll verify the exact situation with Old Fang. What if a spy sent that telegram under Huo Peak Expert's name? It would be bad if it harmed the harmony between us..."
Li Ruifeng soothed them.
He was somewhat at a loss as well, unable to fathom what Huo Yuanhong was trying to do.
Could he be trying to master the uses of all kinds of weapons through the siege of the various martial sects, becoming proficient in everything like the Martial Saint Sun Lutang of old?
As for Sun Lutang, some had claimed that he was skilled in hundreds of weapons and versed in all eighteen martial arts.
What were the eighteen martial arts? It meant that no matter what object he saw that he could lift, he could use it as a weapon. He could pick up anything at hand and make use of it in accordance with its nature. That was what it meant to be proficient in all eighteen martial arts. They were called eighteen, but in truth, they could just as well be hundreds.
Sun Lutang had reached that level, which was why he could be called a Martial Saint, the foremost hand under heaven.
Yet even Sun Lutang was merely proficient in everything. He knew how to guard against it, how to respond, and how to strike back.
