The two who arrived were none other than Zhou Botong, the Old Urchin, and Hong Qigong of the Beggar Sect.
"This guy doesn't look like a good person at all. Old Beggar. I'm a little scared. Maybe we should leave!" Zhou Botong shuddered when he saw Ling Yi's smile and immediately wanted to back out.
Hong Qigong was also very surprised, muttering, "How could this person have such a vicious appearance?"
"Hey, are you here to fight?" Ling Yi shouted in their direction.
Hong Qigong gave a bitter smile and walked out; now he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.
As for the Old Urchin, he tiptoed backward, muttering, "You can't see me, you can't see me, you can't see me."
Hong Qigong's mustache twitched; he felt that coming with the Old Urchin was a mistake.
Ling Yi shouted, " Zhou Botong, if you dare to leave, I'll tie you up and send you to Yinggu's place!"
Zhou Botong couldn't help but shudder. If there were anyone in this world he feared, it would be Master Yideng Yinggu.
Compared to Master Yideng, Zhou Botong was naturally more afraid of Yinggu.
"Ahem, I feel there are quite a lot of leaves on the ground here, it's very soft to walk on, do you want to step on it with me?"
After Zhou Botong finished speaking, as if to prove it, he stomped on the ground a few times.
"You slept with someone and then ran away, what were you thinking?" Ling Yi asked with a smile.
These words made Zhou Botong's face turn bright red, and he covered his face, saying, "Don't mention it again, don't mention it again."
Ling Yi found it amusing; the nickname "Old Urchin " was truly fitting.
Strangely enough, Zhou Botong was quite old, and it would have been awkward for anyone else to do such childish actions, but when Zhou Botong did it, Ling Yi felt it was perfectly natural and even quite amusing.
"It's been a few days since we've had a fight. Come on, Zhou Botong, let's have a fight first," Ling Yi said after taking a bite of grilled fish.
"I won't fight. You're the strongest in the Jianghu. Even Ouyang Feng couldn't beat you, so I certainly can't."
I've suppressed my strength to the same level as yours.
"I won't fight. If I win, you'll beat me up; if I lose, I'll get beaten up even more. Only a fool would do something that loses money."
It was common knowledge in the Jianghu that Ling Yi loved to fight.
"If you don't fight, I'll tie you up and hand you over to Yinggu."
"You're being unreasonable!" Zhou Botong shouted angrily.
Do I need to reason with him?
One sentence nearly made Zhou Botong faint.
"Here!" Ling Yi casually put the grilled fish aside and waved to Zhou Botong.
"Fighting is fine, but you can't use Internal Energy."
"Can!"
"Don't slap me in the face!"
"On behalf of Yinggu, I'm asking you, do you have any shame?"
Zhou Botong was so enraged that he charged forward first.
Ling Yi also used the system to seal his strength back to a level comparable to Zhou Botong's; otherwise, it would be too bullying, and the fights would lose their fun.
He knew that everything he was going through was probably part of the plot orchestrated by the author, but he did not rebel against it.
The author needs a compelling plot, and the author must cooperate in that regard.
Moreover, he didn't dislike this kind of plot.
Zhou Botong used the unique skill of Left-Right Mutual Combat.
Upon seeing Zhou Botong use the Left-Right Mutual Combat Technique, Ling Yi knew that the author was probably just messing around, and that writing it this way would likely get him criticized by readers.
The Left-Right Mutual Combat was invented by Zhou Botong after he was imprisoned on Peach Blossom Island by Huang Yaoshi. He would fight himself out of Bored.
The author most likely forgot about this incident and wrote it down as soon as they remembered.
"Damn, is this author some Third Rate nobody? Is this novel in danger of being shut down?"
Damn, if the author cut this, wouldn't he be finished too?
He shook his head, throwing away the jumbled thoughts. There was no point in thinking about these things now. He could influence a part of the author's consciousness and forcibly change the plot, but he was helpless against this kind of hard bug.
Ling Yi had to admit that even though he Tonghai martial arts techniques, his strength was suppressed, and he still fought very awkwardly.
It felt like fighting against two people who used completely different martial arts styles.
After struggling for a while, Ling Yi ended up at a disadvantage.
This shows that this Left-Right Mutual Combat is indeed quite impressive.
"This is interesting. I'm about to unleash my ultimate move." Ling Yi was also completely intrigued.
Zhou Botong was even more excited when he discovered that he could actually defeat Ling Yi. He threw a punch with his left hand and a palm strike with his right hand, striking Ling Yi with completely different trajectories.
But in the next moment, Zhou Botong was dumbfounded, and Hong Qigong, who was watching from the sidelines, was also dumbfounded.
In an instant, Ling Yi split into three, becoming three people.
Afterimage Technique, Master Roshi's signature move from the Dragon Balls World.
Such techniques fall under the category of martial arts and do not exceed the limitations of this world.
"Oh dear, I'm seeing things!" Zhou Botong quickly took a few steps back, rubbed his eyes, and realized that it wasn't a trick of the eye, but that Ling Yi had really turned into three people.
Instead of being afraid, Zhou Botong became excited. If he could learn such a special move, why would he need to fight with his left and right hands?
"What kind of special move is that?"
"Want to learn? Beat me and I'll teach you."
"Hmph, two of them must be fake." Zhou Botong, with his extraordinary martial arts talent, quickly guessed the key.
This time, the fight between the two was much more exciting. Zhou Botong's punches missed their mark every time, and he would get kicked or slapped on the forehead from time to time, making him yell in anger.
Ling Yi has mastered the Afterimage Technique to its fullest extent; someone encountering it for the first time would have no chance of distinguishing between the real and the fake.
"Stop fighting! Stop fighting!" Zhou Botong sat down on the ground and kicked his legs like a child, shouting.
Do you want to learn?
I can't beat you.
"I just asked you if you wanted to learn. Did I mention whether you could win a fight?"
I want to learn!
"I'll only teach you once. Whether you learn it or not depends on your ability."
Both the Old Urchin and Zhou Botong became serious.
"Follow me, one step to the left, stop, three steps to the right, stop, four steps to the left, stop. Remember this rhythm?"
"That's it? Are you kidding me?" Zhou Botong and Hong Qigong were both dumbfounded. What happened to the profound martial arts techniques they were promised? This is way too easy!
"Easy? You'll see once you try it."
Zhou Botong did not believe in superstition.
But he has an unconventional personality, and things that require mental arithmetic and are quite routine are actually what he dislikes the most.
Several attempts failed.
The most important aspect of Afterimage Technique is the rhythm of pauses, using regular pauses to deceive the eye and create the effect of a " Clone ".
On the contrary, Hong Qigong succeeded on his first try and quickly grasped the pattern.
However, his speed was so slow that he couldn't even create an afterimage.
Ling Yi looked at Hong Qigong and couldn't help but give him pointers. "Speed up, speed up even more, don't mess up the rhythm... It's too fast, slow down, remember this rhythm... Impressive, no wonder you're Hong Qigong!"
At this moment, Hong Qigong transformed into three, which Zhou Botong watched with great envy. Then, he ran to the first transformation to find the rhythm.
Hong Qigong's progress became increasingly smooth, as he had completely mastered the technique.
Later, the afterimages even began to exhibit different movements.
Hong Qigong stopped, slightly out of breath, and bowed to Ling Yi.
"Thank you for your great kindness in spreading the teachings."
"No need for that. You've come to me with something to ask, haven't you?"
Hong Qigong laughed heartily, " The Evil God God's true name is Qing. He has an evil face but a pure heart. Many people in the Jianghu say that you are an unforgivable villain. This Old Beggar was also deceived by those rumors, which is why he is in this predicament."
Ling Yi laughed and said, "With my looks, it would be a shame if I didn't play a villain."
"Why play the villain? I think you're a pretty good person," Zhou Botong said from the side, which was his way of acknowledging Ling Yi.
Although Ling Yi nodded and smiled, he did not feel any joy from accepting the recognition.
Everything he did was purposeful, regardless of whether it was good or bad.
In other words, good or bad is determined by the author, unless the author wants to continue to Reversal the author.
In the Legend of the Condor Heroes World, he is a good person wearing a villain's mask; perhaps in the next world, he will become a demon who wreaks havoc on the world.
Moreover, it seems that Ling Yi's previous act of Reversal towards the author caused some problems for the author.
For example, the fundamental flaw of Zhou Botong's Left-Right Mutual Combat should not have occurred.
It's like... a stroke of despair? But not quite.
More accurately, the author's inspiration and level of engagement were affected.
To keep a novel engaging, an author needs a constant stream of inspiration.
Inspiration leads to immersion; authors immerse themselves in different roles and scenarios within the novel, bringing the characters to life and making them distinct.
Zhou Botong wasn't too concerned about Ling Yi sealing off the Quanzhen Sect.
In his words, those guys lacked moral integrity, and locking them up for a while to calm them down wasn't a bad thing.
With the two Jianghu, Hong Qigong and Zhou Botong, Ling Yi no longer needed to get lost.
Especially Hong Qigong, as the leader of the Beggar Sect ' Sect, can be said to be the most well-informed person in the world, without exception.
Half Moon later, Hong Qigong and Zhou Botong left one after the other.
Several major events have occurred in the Jianghu during this period.
Huang Yaoshi found Ouyang Feng, and the two had a fight that started strong but ended weakly. Afterwards, Huang Yaoshi went directly to live in White Camel Mountain, supposedly to jointly study the Nine Yin and Nine Yang Manuals.
This puzzled Ling Yi somewhat. Huang Yaoshi and Ouyang Feng were both among the Five Greats. Although they didn't have any major conflicts, they were definitely not friends.
It was quite unexpected that they were able to get together.
Perhaps this is the butterfly effect.
After all, Ling Yi had said that ten years later, the Mount Hua Sword Tournament would be held, with the winner living and the loser dying. Although Ling Yi had only said it casually, Ouyang Feng and the others probably took it seriously.
Another event was the death of Wanyan Honglie, after which the Quanzhen Sect subsequently announced its complete closure...
