Li Kun Yang was the same. If he were to scold his disciples in front of so many people, it was the same as destroying the reputation of the Xingyi Dojo.
In short, he decided to save his dojo over his conscience.
No matter what was said, Li Kun Yang was now trying to reverse the situation. No matter how bad his disciples were, he could fix things once Wei Xiao Bei left. However, he did not have any plans of losing face in front of so many people.
In simpler terms, many things could get out of hand in the end, so he could only say that his disciples were a bit deceptive.
“Brother Wei, these disciples of mine are truly a bit disappointing, why not have a few exchanges with me as your brother?”
Li Kun Yang made a truly great suggestion. For one, he could exchange fists with Wei Xiao Bei and temper his martial arts in an attempt to breakthrough to the neutral jing level. Second, he could bury the matter of his disciples under the rug.
“Sure!”
Wei Xiao Bei made a gesture, indicating that Li Kun Yang should make a move first and immediately causing everyone below the stage to start an uproar.
These observers could not believe their eyes and ears.
They admit that Wei Xiao Bei was truly strong, but they did not believe that Wei Xiao Bei could win against Li Kun Yang!
They believe that he was too rampant!.
This was what everybody thought.
However, Wei Xiao Bei himself did not believe that he was too rampant. Letting Li Kun Yang make a move first was simply due to the difference in both of their strength.
Li Kun Yang did not have any questions about it. He slowly lowered his hands and then charged towards Wei Xiao Bei like a horse.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of fighting came from above the stage.
Li Kun Yang had trained in martial arts for almost 30 years. He was specialized in the Five Element Fist in Xingyiquan.
This so-called Five Phase Fist was the foundational fighting technique of Xingyiquan. It included chopping, drilling, crushing, exploding, and crossing.
When they had just started their exchanges, Wei xiao Bei could feel something different compared to the disciples.
He could tell that Li Kun Yang’s steps were steady, and his movements were nimble. The first attack towards him was a crushing fist.
Wei Xiao Bei did not plan to deal with Li Kun Yang with only one hand. This was to respect a competent opponent. Moreover, Li Kun Yang’s relationship with his master was not bad. If he had offended the other party, then he would leave a bad image to his master.
Additionally, Wei Xiao Bei had also looked up Xingyiquan in the internet before. He had understood a bit about it, but he had never encountered it in a fight. Thus, he wanted to see what it was truly like, so he did not hold back.
It could be said that Li Kun Yang was a lot stronger than his disciples.
When the crushing fist came at him, Wei Xiao Bei held up his hands to neutralize it, but after that, another crushing fist came again. Then it was followed by a drilling fist, exploding fist, chopping fist, and crossing fist, rotating in succession of each other.
This Five Element Fist was not simply a cycle of punching. Every single punch contained their own technique and qi within them. For people that had just started, this was a hard thing to do.
However, those who had trained to Li Kun Yang’s level were different.
After Wei Xiao Bei caught a few punches, he could not help but acknowledge Li Kun Yang in his heart. Li Kun Yang was truly extraordinary. If he were to enter the Dust World, he would not be disadvantaged when fighting 2-Star Elite Creatures at all. He could even contend with some of the 2-Star Terror Creatures.
However, if he was empty-handed, this was the best he could do.
Defeating 2-Star Terror Creatures was not easy at all.
After Li Kun Yang finished more than 10 rotations, Wei Xiao Bei lightly slapped Li Kun Yang’s shoulders with his left hand and then retreated closest to the rope.
Li Kun Yang’s body felt rigid as he let out a bitter smile, “Brother Wei is truly amazing. This brother admits defeat.”
Wei Xiao Bei did not plan to humiliate Li Kun Yang at all as he cupped his hands and smiled, “If it was not because brother let me win, I would not be able to continue any longer.”
Li Kun Yang smiled and waved his hand, “Don’t be modest, brother. After comparing notes brother’s understanding is more than mine. Come, let us go drink tea. I have some places where I need some advice.”
Wei Xiao Bei also did not want to continue standing there so he jumped down.
Afterward, Li Kun Yang dispersed his disciples as the two of them returned to the parlor to drink tea. Even Reannie who wanted to stay had been sent away.
Li Kun Yang was truly planning to ask Wei Xiao Bei for advice. In truth, from this battle, Li Kun Yang could feel that Wei Xiao Bei’s strength had exceeded his a lot.
Facing a neutral jing expert that far exceeded him, Li Kun Yang felt that he had encountered good fortune. Without a doubt, if he obtained some guidance, he would have a chance to make a breakthrough.
It must be known that Li Kun Yang had been stuck on this level for quite a long time. Thus he was very impatient. When Wei Xiao Bei had just sat down and picked up the tea cup, Li Kun Yang quickly asked, “Brother Wei, have you reached the neutral jing level?”
Wei Xiao Bei smiled and nodded his head. He lifted up his cup, “Brother, this tea isn’t bad. It should be traditionally made from Lingjing, right?”
Wei Xiao Bei had understood a lot about the tea leaves as he used this to calm down Li Kun Yang.
Hearing this, Li Kun Yang could not help but answer, “This was something that my little brother brought when he had come for a visit. I have not looked into the tea leaves. Um?”
“Brother, I have indeed reached the neutral jing level. Brother’s main question should be how to breakthrough from negative jing to neutral jing, right?”
In truth, Wei Xiao Bei did not felt any hardships at all when he had broken through himself. When his blood channels linked up, he automatically became so.
However, he still had his own views on this. Moreover, he had no plans of keeping this a secret.
After arranging his thoughts, Wei Xiao Bei began speaking, but he was immediately stopped by Li Kun Yang. Afterward, Li Kun Yang let Reannie bring a pen and notebook as he smiled at Wei Xiao Bei, “I have let brother Wei see such a poor performance, but the palest ink is better than the best memory. Brother, please continue.”
Wei Xiao Bei bitterly smiled as he continued to explain his understanding of his breakthroughs. On the other hand, Li Kun Yang had truly recorded Wei Xiao Bei’s insights word by word. If he did not understand something, he would immediately ask like a good student.
Only when Wei Xiao Bei could not say anything anymore did Li Kun Yang smile. He carefully put the notebook away as he passionately invited Wei Xiao Bei for dinner.
Wei Xiao Bei originally thought that it was a French banquet, but he never expected that it was Li Kun Yang personally cooking a Chinese meal.
On the other hand, this had given them another topic to talk about as they chatted happily at the dining table.
Li Kun Yang’s personal disciples had also joined in with an embarrassed smile. Previously they thought that Wei Xiao Bei was weak. In the end, they had been sent down the stage, causing them to look at Wei Xiao Bei with a bit of fear.
Li Kun Yang had berated these disciples in front of Wei Xiao Bei and then had a toast with everyone.
Hearing that there was a toast, these people immediately trembled with excitement. Every one of them grabbed their wine cups as they toasted to Wei Xiao Bei one by one.
Whether it was Wei Xiao Bei or Li Kun Yang, they had both seen through the minds of these disciples.
They were not able to win on stage so they wanted to regain some face in drinking.
In their eyes, there were more than ten of them. If they did this one after the other, they believed that they could bring down this martial uncle Wei with alcohol.
If it was like this, their master could not say anything to them.
Since they had decided to do so, they attempted to hide their thoughts as they tried to be extremely polite and addressed Wei Xiao Bei as ‘martial uncle Wei’ one after another like they were relatives that had not seen each other for a long time.
However, Li Kun Yang knew that martial scholars who had reached the neutral jing have freely flowing qi all over their bodies. When the qi moved, let alone wine, even the effects of most poisons could be suppressed. Higher level experts could even force wine out from the pores of their skin.
Thus, Li Kun Yang did not warn them, wanting them to suffer a bit so that they would not do such a stupid thing in the future.
As for Wei Xiao Bei, his drinking capacity was so big that it would shock others. Moreover, it had not yet been 24 hours since he had left the Dust World. Even if he drunk a lot, he should not be able to enter the Dust World, allowing him to be assured and refuse nobody.
The wine was something Li Kun Yang asked someone to buy from within the country. The alcohol content was not high with only 38%. The wine cup was a medium-sized wine cup that he had bought for six euros a cup.
In one cycle, Wei Xiao Bei had drunk 15 cups which was roughly 450 grams!
When the disciples saw that Wei Xiao Bei’s expression was not the least bit affected by alcohol, they knew that his drinking capacity was not small.
However, the disciples did not worry at all. No matter how great Wei Xiao Bei’s drinking capacity was, he was only one person while they were 15 in number!
People who trained in martial arts were not weak when it comes to alcohol. If each of them drank 250 grams, then they could drown Wei Xiao Bei with around 4000 grams!
What did 4000 grams signify?
Even if it was just water, it was enough to make anybody feel unwell! What’s more, this was wine!
As a result, they continued to toast!
Each of them took turns as they went forwards one by one in an orderly fashion to the point that some of them did not even touch the food.
Reannie, who was eating the dishes in a delicate manner, panicked a bit. She originally wanted to help Wei Xiao Bei block the incoming wine, but she was blocked by her fellow apprentices.
In the dining room, Reannie did not dare act like she usually does. She could only fiercely glare at those fellow apprentices while considering how to humiliate them the next day if they made Wei Xiao Bei drunk.
Although she could not win against them, Reannie was still the daughter of the master. Moreover, she had full control of the kitchen. She had already decided to add a few ‘good’ things in these fellow apprentices’ meals.
After the second cycle, Wei Xiao Bei’s face was a bit red, causing the disciples to be happy. They believed that four rotations would be enough to finish off this martial uncle Wei of theirs.
Naturally, this drinking capacity was still very shocking.
Four cycles was 1800 grams.
In truth, after the fourth cycle, Wei Xiao Bei had felt a bit dizzy. He immediately urged his qi forcing the alcohol out of his back through perspiration. In less than three minutes, Wei Xiao Bei had become relaxed as most of the alcohol in his system had been removed.
Luckily, the disciples had already drunk wine. Even if they smelled the thick scent of wine, they did not know about it.
