The Mountain-Visiting Kid? He Made a Name for Himself
What does it mean that the task difficulty has increased by one level?
An ominous premonition arose in Li Wei's mind. However, the Black Paper didn't offer any further clues about this. Since he couldn't figure it out, he decided not to waste his brainpower. Li Wei believed that as long as he made thorough preparations, even if the difficulty increased, it wouldn't be a big problem.
After reuniting with Xiaolongnü, Duan Yu, and the others, Li Wei left the Passionless Valley and headed straight for the cave where Yang Guo was.
Along the way, he continued to eliminate bandits he encountered and visit and spar with sects he came across. By this time, three months had passed since Li Wei entered the mission world. His deeds of leading the way in visiting various sects, large and small, had spread throughout the martial arts world. For this "young hero" with extraordinary martial arts talent, those sects that only had leaders but no grandmasters were all in awe, fearing that this guy would send them a letter of invitation.
However, those who are Grandmaster-level experts are not included in this list, since Li Wei's current cultivation level is not qualified to challenge Grandmaster-level experts.
In reality, the so-called "visiting invitations" are just claims made by those who have visited different sects by Li Wei. Li Wei doesn't have any visiting invitations; his visiting invitations are just a pair of fists. For those who refuse to open their doors, Li Wei will often just chuckle and then smash them open with a single punch.
Even if they didn't want to compete, it was impossible.
However, generally speaking, apart from those notorious bandit dens, Li Wei has never harmed members of ordinary sects, though he can't escape getting a beating for it.
But if word got out that he was being brutally beaten by a younger, inexperienced man, he would be the laughingstock of the martial arts world.
Of course, that was true at first. However, as time went on and Li Wei 'visited' more and more sects, it was actually those sects that had initially been soundly defeated by Li Wei who started to mock them. They would say, "Look, weren't you laughing at us back then? Now look at us, who's getting beaten to a pulp by a mere teenager?"
It was just a joke, but the various sects in the martial arts world who heard the news still took action. Those sects with grandmaster-level experts were naturally not afraid, while those with only sect leader-level experts would send their disciples to guard the mountain gate. They would strictly check anyone coming up the mountain, and if it was "that person," they would immediately send a message to the mountain so that the sect could make sufficient preparations.
On this day, the disciples of the Quanzhen Religion guarding the mountain gate suddenly saw several people walking down the mountain and immediately perked up.
Guarding the mountain gate were several direct disciples of the Seven Quanzhen Masters, all renowned young heroes in the martial arts world, and thus extremely arrogant, as if they didn't respect any other sects except the Quanzhen Sect.
Upon seeing the five people approaching the mountain gate, one of them, named Xuanjizi, chuckled and said, "Fellow disciples, look, someone has come to pay their respects!"
The surrounding disciples also focused their attention on the five people in the distance. One of them laughed and said, "Xuanjizi, you don't need to make such a fuss. Although Master ordered us to guard the mountain gate and be wary of 'that guy's' invitations, it's been more than half a month. Apart from some people who come to ask to learn martial arts, there's no young hero with unfathomable martial arts skills. I think that legend is mostly made up by the martial arts world!"
The one who spoke was called Xuanyangzi. In terms of seniority, he was Xuanjizi's senior brother, but in terms of age, he was a few years younger than Xuanjizi.
"I don't think so. If it were just a fabricated rumor, why would it cause such a huge reaction? You don't know, all the surrounding sects are terrified of 'that person.' It's said that he's not very old, but his martial arts are unparalleled. He's a sect leader, so his martial arts are beyond question, right? But he beat them all up in public, completely lacking the dignity of a sect leader. Just think about it, how can a defeated sect leader continue to lead the sect? If it were me, I would have killed myself long ago!"
"Hehe, Senior Brother, you're mistaken. It would be normal to have such suicidal thoughts at the beginning. However, I've heard that in the past two months, more than a dozen sects, large and small, have been visited by that person. With so many people being attacked, it's not a shameful thing anymore, because no one can say for sure when that evil star will suddenly visit..."
While the disciples were chatting, the five people walking towards the mountain gate arrived in front of them.
Upon seeing the five people arrive, the Quanzhen Sect disciples all adopted a solemn expression. In the past few days, so many people had climbed the mountain to seek out masters and learn martial arts that they had naturally become accustomed to displaying this superior attitude.
"Please wait a moment, gentlemen. This is already the territory of my Quanzhen Sect. May I ask what brings you up the mountain?" Xuanjizi, who spoke first, made a hand gesture with one hand and said politely.
The five people in front of him were Li Wei, Xiaolongnü, Duan Yu, Linghu Chong, and Zhang Wuji.
Perhaps noticing that among the five was a beautiful young girl dressed in white, Xuanjizi's heart raced, and his eyes occasionally stole glances at Xiaolongnü's stunning beauty.
Seeing the appearance of the young Daoist priests opposite him, Li Wei exhaled a breath of air from his nostrils.
He had always wanted to come to the Quanzhen Religion.
First of all, when he entered Shadow Street, the first internal skill he learned was the "Innate Skill" created by Wang Chongyang of the Quanzhen Religion. It can be said that if he had not used the Innate Skill as a foundation, his achievements would never have been as high as they are today.
Perhaps, like millions of other reincarnators, his combat power will remain below C-level, struggling to find a sliver of survival amidst various missions and apocalyptic crises.
It was because of his Innate Skill that Li Wei had so many extraordinary encounters and became a powerful Destroyer.
On the other hand, Li Wei also had no good feelings towards the Quanzhen Sect.
Li Wei glanced at Xiaolongnü beside him, whose expression had changed slightly, and sighed inwardly.
This Xiaolongnü was pure and innocent, such a perfect fairy, yet her purity was defiled by that beast Yin Zhiping of the Quanzhen Sect, who took away her 'first time'.
My first time!
Although Li Wei is not Yang Guo, he was still quite angry when he saw this scene. Now that he was passing by the Quanzhen Sect, he was determined to vent his anger.
Of course, Li Wei also knew that Yin Zhiping would become the sixth leader of the Quanzhen Sect, bringing Quanzhen Religion great prosperity. However, what did the prosperity of the Quanzhen Religion have to do with him?
Right now, Li Wei just wants to kill this shameless guy.
Seeing the Daoist priests blocking his way, Li Wei didn't say a word, but punched Xuanjizi in the face. The guy who was putting on airs as a disciple of a major sect cried out and fell to the ground.
His face was covered in blood and snot; he looked utterly miserable.
The other Quanzhen disciples were completely dumbfounded. They had never seen such an arrogant person since they were born. Without saying a word, he immediately attacked with his fists. Had he done anything to them?
However, the Daoist priests who wanted to stand up for their fellow disciples were also knocked to the ground one by one by Li Wei within the next minute. Fortunately, Xuanyangzi, who was the last one to be knocked down, took out a signal flare from his pocket in time, pulled the fuse, and a piercing whistling sound soared into the sky, the sound of which could be heard for dozens of miles.
"You dare to report this?" Li Wei glanced at Xuanyangzi and delivered another punch, knocking the unfortunate Xuanyangzi unconscious. Perhaps intimidated by Li Wei 'Li Wei imposing aura, he even wet his pants before passing out.
"Useless trash! Let's go, up the mountain!" Li Wei led the way, stepping over the staggering Quanzhen disciples, and entered the mountain gate.
Behind him, the four men exchanged glances, then followed.
After two months of getting along, Duan Yu and the others developed a much better relationship with Li Wei. Of course, they were also influenced by Li Wei, and now they were all beaming with excitement at the mere mention of "paying homage to the sects." This was because after each sparring session with these major sects, they found that their martial arts skills inexplicably improved significantly. Duan Yu's Six Meridian Divine Sword had reached level 7; Linghu Chong's Nine Swords of Dugu Nine Yang Divine Skill had also reached level 6; and Zhang Wuji's Nine Yang Divine Skill was also at level 6. As for Xiaolongnü, who joined last, her cultivation was already very high; her Jade Maiden Heart-Sword Technique started at level 7 and was now about to break through to level 8.
Such rapid cultivation had given them a taste of success, so they were naturally extremely excited about their trip to the Quanzhen Sect. Therefore, seeing Li Wei leading the way, they all followed with great enthusiasm.
The Quanzhen Sect, Zhenwu Grand Hall.
The current Qiu Chuji, was startled when he heard the howling sound coming from the mountain gate.
There's a popular saying in the martial arts world about a young swordsman who loves to "visit" various sects. Often, the sect leader of the sect he "visits" will announce a month-long seclusion, refusing to venturing out. At first, this didn't seem to bother him, but secrets don't stay hidden forever. So, the young swordsman's activities within the various sects were eventually revealed to the public by busybodies.
Good heavens, that wasn't a visit, it was practically a challenge.
Moreover, it was the kind of reckless and unbridled challenge that occurred to those sect leaders. Every one of them was a renowned senior figure, yet they were all beaten black and blue by this hotheaded youth. Strangely enough, apart from a few sects with grandmaster-level experts, the other sect leaders all suffered the misfortune of having their faces turned into pig heads.
This boy's martial arts skills are ridiculously high! Could it be that he started practicing from the womb?
Upon hearing this news, Qiu Chuji became worried. Although his Quanzhen Sect had a great reputation, it was all built by their master, Wang Chongyang. Compared to his master, Qiu Chuji knew that his own skills were nothing.
Maybe it's not even worth a fart!
Outside, the seven brothers were respectfully known as the Seven Quanzhen Masters, but their martial arts skills were mediocre compared to those of true grandmasters. Any one of the Four Great Masters—Eastern Heretic, Western Poison, Southern Emperor, and Northern Beggar—would be far stronger than them. Of course, the Quanzhen Sect wasn't without its masters; their uncle, the Old Urchin Zhou Botong, was a master comparable to the Four Great Masters. Unfortunately, this uncle was elusive and impossible to find.
So, if that legendary "mountain-climbing" kid from the martial arts world were to come, things would get really interesting.
