Heroes Alliance Group Chat

"Qi?"

Li Congxin was stunned. Did this sort of thing exist in the Marvel universe?

This was way too much like Dragon Ball!

Seeing Li Congxin's surprised expression, Nalan Long smiled slightly and explained, "Qi is a profound and mysterious power. Every martial artist who can master it is a true powerhouse!"

"Hearing Elder Long say that, I remember too," Yi Long added from the side. "When I was studying at Shaolin years ago, I heard the head of the Damo Academy say that the higher realm of martial arts is cultivating Qi."

"However, it's an extremely difficult undertaking. Heritage, diligence, comprehension, and opportunity are all indispensable. But by the time I left the mountain, I hadn't even reached the minimum threshold for cultivating Qi, so I never received any related heritage. I'm afraid I can't help you much with this."

Nalan Long looked at Yi Long with envy. "Major sects truly have deep foundations. As for Qi, I've only heard its name. I've heard that martial artists who cultivate Qi often gather in the Himalayas, in a place called Kunlun. I don't know if it's true or not."

After listening to their words, Li Congxin had a general understanding.

The so-called Qi was similar to the inner energy in wuxia novels, but it was much harder to cultivate. Setting aside talent, the need for heritage alone was very difficult.

The best form of heritage was direct instruction from a senior master; a slightly lesser option would be to have martial arts manuals.

With Li Congxin's current circle of friends, where would he even get his hands on a manual?

Compared to that, it seemed more reliable to become a disciple of the Ancient One. At least he knew where to find her.

"It's a cold day, don't stand outside. Let's go inside and chat." After inviting the two inside, Li Congxin picked up his phone and found a message notification.

"Hit-Girl" has applied to join the group chat "Heroes Alliance."

Yes or No!

Li Congxin clicked NO without hesitation.

This wasn't the first time something like this had happened.

Children should focus on their studies instead of playing at fighting and killing. It's not good.

After watching the Nalan family and Yi Long's passenger plane fly away from the airport, Li Congxin suddenly said with some hesitation, "I'm suddenly wondering if I should learn some hacking skills. It's really too much to trouble Pym Uncle with everything."

Old Pi snorted from the side and then reprimanded, "You kid should just calm down. Quantum Mechanics alone is enough for you to spend a lifetime studying. In fact, I only learned some computer knowledge when I hit a bottleneck in Quantum Mechanics and needed to use some advanced computer skills to assist."

"The key is that I have time now," Li Congxin chuckled. "After my physical fitness reached its limit, continuing to train hard doesn't mean much to me anymore. I only need to spend a small amount of time each day, which frees up a lot of time to learn other things."

"For the time you have free, you should just relax," Old Pi shook his head and sighed. "I find other young people too lazy, but you're the opposite. Sometimes, balancing work and rest is very important. You still have plenty of time; there's no need to push yourself too hard."

Li Congxin smiled bitterly and shook his head. Before his transmigration, he had been too relaxed, regretting it deeply after starting his job.

Now that he had a chance to start over, why would he let go of any opportunity to arm himself? Whether it was knowledge, strength, or relationships.

Patting Xiaobai's shoulder beside him, Li Congxin comforted him, "Even though Uncle Nalan and Brother A Qing have left, Xiaobai, you don't need to worry. You can always come to me if you encounter any trouble. It's getting late, so please trouble Hope to send Xiaobai back to the Nalan Martial Arts School."

Hope was taken aback. "You're not coming?"

Li Congxin gently shook his head and turned around, walking towards the city center. "I want to walk alone and think about some things."

What Li Congxin needed to think about, of course, was how to acquire power.

According to his previous thoughts, there were only two safe directions forward: one was to study martial arts in Kunlun, and the other was to learn magic in Kamar-Taj. It seemed these two places weren't far apart, as their entrances were at least located in the Himalayas.

However, neither of these paths was easy. To choose these two power systems, two problems had to be solved first.

First, could he find the legendary Sanctum and Kunlun?

Second, even if he found them, would they be willing to teach him?

As for whether he could learn them if they were willing to teach him, Li Congxin had subconsciously ignored that question.

He was overconfident!

In fact, compared to studying abroad, Li Congxin had an even greater reliance: his golden finger, the God-Tier BGM System!

Based on the experience he had summarized before, every BGM activated by this golden finger originated from Li Congxin's strongest inner desires.

It was almost like wish fulfillment.

When the God-Tier BGM System was activated, Li Congxin had just taken over this terribly poor body. He desperately needed to exercise to lose weight and improve his physique, which led to "Calories."

After that, the first time Li Congxin was attacked in an alley, he desperately needed strength and a way to accelerate his martial arts progress. Thus, after being injured, he awakened two BGMs at once: "A Man Should Better Himself" and "Chinese Kung Fu."

Furthermore, the encounter with the Cosmic Source Will should have been completely random. Li Congxin had never thought about relying on his looks for a living. As for his appearance, as long as it was acceptable, he had no strong desires.

However, this time, Li Congxin desperately wanted to find a way to break through his current bottleneck. Yet, his highly anticipated system treasure showed no response at all, which made Li Congxin have to doubt whether his system had a BGM that could help him break through the bottleneck.

As things stood, the system was, at best, an accelerator and amplifier.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Li Congxin had walked from the airport to the bustling downtown area. During this time, he repeatedly pondered his future development but couldn't make up his mind. It wasn't until he passed by an alley and dealt with a few unruly thugs that his spirits finally lifted, and he decided to make a trip to the Himalayas.

Going there might not yield results, but not going would definitely be in vain.

As for whether his target would be Kunlun or the Sanctum, Li Congxin didn't care. Whichever he found, that would be it; everything depended on fate.

"You have new messages, please check them!"

"Hit-Girl" has applied to join the group chat "Heroes Alliance."

Yes or No?

No!

After once again refusing Hit-Girl's request to join the group without mercy, Li Congxin noticed the group chat seemed quite lively. He opened it to find several superheroes chatting enthusiastically.

Hawkeye: I'm off today, does anyone need a hand? (^o^)/

Punisher: Thanks for the recommendation, old brother Hawkeye. This alliance is really something, being able to exchange information. Using the intel you provided, I found and killed over twenty drug dealers. Satisfying! ()

Daredevil: You've got too much aggression! (⊙﹏⊙)

Punisher: You're an outer member, watch your tone! <(￣﹌￣)@m

Daredevil: Alright, you're a core member, you're the boss. I have another question, it's for a friend. Does undercooked roasted sweet potato taste the same as eating crap? (´Д｀|||)

Punisher: Same! (-*)

Seeing this, Li Congxin decisively decided to join their conversation. And so...

Black Mask: How would I know? I haven't eaten either! (_)
