Liu Yi wouldn't have believed it, not even if you beat him to death! But the reality was already laid out before them.
"This is too outrageous, right?" Beside him, Wang Hua couldn't help exclaiming in shock upon realizing this.
And it wasn't just him; everyone present, aside from Chen Fenghua, thought the same when they learned of the relationship between Zhang Beixing and Liu Yi!
Noticing the astonished expressions on people's faces, Liu Yi couldn't help but puff out his chest, a look of pride on his face. He raised his eyebrow at Wu Hegui. The smugness was self-evident.
Becoming a Grandmaster in your fifties and you dare to show off? Look at my Disciple! Only twenty-one this year, and he's already a Grandmaster, setting a new record for the youngest ever in Great Xia. Now, tell me loudly, what exactly are you showing off?
This particular move by Liu Yi took 'bullying by throwing one's weight around' to the extreme!
Seeing his meaning, Wu Hegui's face twitched, and he suddenly understood Liu Yi's previous feelings. This taste of being ridiculed to one's face was truly unpleasant!
However, if you think that with this, you can easily suppress me, then you, Liu Yi, are far too naive. Don't forget, I, Wu Yougui, am also a Grandmaster! And I have even traveled abroad for experience, becoming a Grandmaster who mastered Vital Energy projection even earlier than Zhang Beixing! It's truly impressive that your Disciple became a Grandmaster at such a young age. But what about after that? Could his experiences possibly match the legendary tales associated with me? With this thought, Wu Yougui adjusted his mindset.
He smiled genially at Zhang Beixing, cupped his fist in greeting, "Seeing is believing. I have long heard that Grandmaster Zhang is extraordinarily talented, and today's encounter proves the reputation is well deserved. I, Wu Yougui, am from Dongshan, the seventh generation successor of the Black Dragon Eighteen Hands, a fellow Grandmaster. Pleased to meet Grandmaster Zhang!"
"Hello, hello, I am Zhang Beixing from Northern River, a fourteenth-generation Disciple of Yue Family's Chain Fists. Pleased to meet Grandmaster Wu!" Learning that this somewhat fierce-looking middle-aged man was also a Grandmaster, Zhang Beixing also returned the salute with cupped fists. At the same time, he covertly assessed the other party. He noticed that this Grandmaster Wu had a noticeably stronger murderous aura between his brows compared to the others present.
Looks like he's a tough one; he has seen blood! Upon realizing this, Zhang Beixing made a mental note.
After sizing up Zhang Beixing, Wu Yougui looked at him with a smile and took the initiative to inquire, "Grandmaster Zhang, for you to break through to Grandmaster at such a young age is truly incredible. It seems you must have faced some life-and-death crisis, coming back from the brink of death with newfound insights, thus mastering the projection of Vital Energy and making your breakthrough, right?"
Life-and-death crisis... coming back from the brink of death? Hearing Wu Yougui's words, Zhang Beixing raised his eyebrows. He thought of the tiger he had pummeled to the ground and spoke vaguely, "Something like that!"
While he was the one who had pinned the tiger to the ground to bash it, the situation was indeed dangerous. Had the tiger managed to break free, given its Power and their proximity at the time, even if Zhang Beixing didn't die, he would have been severely injured.
Indeed, that's how it is! Wu Yougui's expression revealed an 'as expected' look, and he wasn't surprised, because everyone knew that the only way to master Transforming Force was through real life-or-death combat.
Zhang Beixing then curiously asked Wu Yougui, "Speaking of which, Grandmaster Wu, how did you break through to Grandmaster initially? You asked me if I had experienced a life-and-death crisis. Could it be that you also..."
"Indeed!" Seeing Zhang Beixing so cooperative, Wu Yougui immediately offered a slight, knowing smile, affecting an air of humility. "It's true that I was able to master the projection of Vital Energy and attain Grandmaster status by facing a life-and-death crisis."
He coughed lightly, glanced around at the audience, and spoke nonchalantly, "However, my crisis was rather straightforward. I accidentally killed a few people overseas, and that quickly led to my breakthrough!"
No wonder! Zhang Beixing understood. It turned out that Wu Yougui had killed people abroad; that explained the source of his murderous aura. After all, it's quite chaotic overseas—people dying was normal, especially for a Martial Artist armed and harboring murderous intent.
Out of curiosity, Zhang Beixing couldn't help asking, "May I ask, Grandmaster Wu, what is your current KDA?"
KDA? Hearing this somewhat unfamiliar term, Wu Yougui blinked in confusion. He didn't often surf the internet, and when he did, it was only for chatting and checking news, never for gaming. So, upon hearing the term Zhang Beixing used, he was unfamiliar and didn't understand its meaning.
Seeing Wu Yougui's confusion, Shi Dazhuan, who was nearby, stepped forward to explain the meaning of KDA. After learning it stood for kills, deaths, and assists, Wu Yougui understood. He found KDA to be an interesting measure, able to summarize one's combat achievements in a glance.
Wu Yougui then stood tall and spoke casually, "My KDA isn't worth mentioning—just a modest 8/0/3. Six of those kills were from my time fighting in underground boxing matches overseas recently. I accidentally killed two people in the ring there, which ruined their operations. As a result, I was ambushed by four men. Surrounded on all sides, I unexpectedly comprehended Vital Energy projection. I killed two more and severely injured the other two, managing to fight my way out of the encirclement."
While saying this, Wu Yougui couldn't help feeling a bit proud. Bare Hands against four, killing two and injuring two, and then standing here safe and sound, chatting with Zhang Beixing.
