She had seen these bishops' skills before and knew they were very powerful, but now they were beaten like this, and she was worried that her boyfriend would get hurt.
Li Ling patted Ali's hand and comforted her, saying, "It's okay. Since I dared to take on this challenge, it means I'm confident in my abilities. You should also have confidence in me. I'll be fine. I promised I'd take care of you."
Hearing Li Ling's confident words, Ali couldn't help but feel confident as well. She knew Li Ling's kung fu skills well; he had knocked the black bear unconscious with just a few punches and kicks. He said he could handle it. Although Ali was worried, she still gave Li Ling her support.
After comforting Ali, Li Ling looked at her senior brother again.
Seeing Li Ling's provocative gaze, and having suffered minor losses in their two encounters, the senior brother did not consider himself inferior to Li Ling.
I was slightly inferior in our last exchange, only because I had used up some of my internal energy when I defeated the three bishops. That made me weaker in my fight with Li Ling. It's still uncertain who will win in the real battle.
Moreover, in the senior brother's mind, karate is the strongest. Ancient Chinese martial arts have been defeated by karate in the past, and this time will be no exception.
It must be said that the senior brother truly exemplified what it means to be a sycophant; his body is Chinese, but his heart is that of a Japanese devil.
"Only karate is the strongest martial art on Earth. I accept your challenge." The senior brother said decisively, then looked at Ghost King Da Dao: "However, I have a condition. If I agree to his request, I want ancient Chinese boxing to disappear from the Earth."
Gui Wangda looked at Li Ling, who nodded to indicate that he was sure he would win. Gui Wangda then said, "Alright, as long as I, Gui Wangda, am alive, karate will always be ranked after ancient martial arts. And if we win, I will make Chinese ancient martial arts enter the Elite Center with dignity."
At this moment, Director Chen stepped forward and said, "Okay, how about we set it for a month from now? I will publicize this challenge widely and invite TV stations to broadcast it live to promote both of your sects."
As he spoke, Director Chen looked at Ghost King Da, Li Ling, and the senior brother. He needed their agreement on this matter. If it was widely reported, regardless of who won or lost, the reputation of his elite center would be enhanced. With a good reputation, they could recruit more students, which would all be money.
Li Ling nodded in agreement.
The eldest brother nodded in agreement: "It's a deal."
"And another one!" Ghost King Da spoke again, drawing everyone's attention to himself.
He looked at his senior brother with a serious expression, stretched out his hand and said, "You took a bottle of salad oil from me last time and haven't paid me back yet. Give me my money back now."
"Duang~"
Everyone was struck by lightning and lay on the ground, barely alive. (Wish Star of All Realms)

Chapter 113 Awe and Surprising Discoveries
Inside Ghost King Da's shop, Li Ling, Ali, and Ghost King Da sat facing each other.
Ali complained to Ghost King Da, "Hey old man, who told you to challenge Senior Brother Lin in place of Ah Yin!"
Ghost King Da looked embarrassed.
Li Ling came to the rescue, saying, "Ali, since I have learned the martial arts of ancient Chinese boxing, I am naturally considered a successor of ancient Chinese boxing. Now that others are insulting Chinese martial arts, I naturally want to save face. Moreover, I have confidence in myself, and you should have confidence in me too."
At this moment, Gui Wangda listened to Li Ling's words and his face was full of agreement. He also did not want other foreign martial arts to be superior to Chinese martial arts.
Then Ghost King Da looked at Li Ling with a strange expression and asked, "Ah Yin, how come you have developed internal strength so quickly? You know that Dragon Roar Iron Shirt consumes a lot of one's own essence and energy. Developing internal strength is much more difficult than other martial arts."
Li Ling smiled slightly and said, "I had already reached the limit of human strength, and I was just one step away from breaking through. In the past, I only knew the combat techniques in the army and did not have any subsequent martial arts skills, so it was difficult to break through. Now that I have the secret manual of Dragon Roar Iron Shirt, breaking through will be a natural process."
"As for the Dragon Roar Iron Shirt technique, it is indeed very difficult to cultivate internal strength. However, I once obtained a spiritual fruit, and after cultivating and eating the spiritual fruit, I was able to refine internal strength."
Li Ling couldn't say that he had the World Seed providing a continuous source of energy, so he just made up an excuse.
Ghost King Da nodded knowingly and said with emotion, "I didn't expect that spiritual fruits still exist in society today, and that you were lucky enough to encounter one."
Li Ling also showed a look of relief and said, "There is very little spiritual energy in modern society. I never expected to have such a wonderful encounter."
The extraordinary encounter Li Ling spoke of referred to the 'Myriad Realms Wishing Star' system and the World Seed, but Ghost King Da interpreted it as Li Ling talking about the Spirit Fruit.
"Ah Yin, what is internal energy?" Ah Li heard the two talking about internal energy and it sounded very powerful, which piqued her curiosity.
Li Ling explained, "Internal strength is a modern martial arts term; the traditional term used in the past was internal force or true qi."
Ali clapped her hands and said, "I know, it's often shown in martial arts dramas. I thought it was just something made up by TV dramas."
At this moment, Ghost King Da interjected, "There is only one in ten million people in modern society who can cultivate internal strength. An internal strength master can easily kill dozens or hundreds of ordinary people. In modern society, they are equivalent to human nuclear bombs."
"Wow, that's amazing." Ali's eyes turned into hearts as she excitedly grabbed Li Ling's hand, looking at him with admiration: "Ah Yin, I never knew you were so amazing."
In Ali's heart, Li Ling was very capable, but she didn't expect him to be this capable. She originally liked heroes, and now that her boyfriend is so amazing, she loves him even more.
"Ah Yin, can you show me that internal energy?" Ali looked at Li Ling with anticipation.
"Okay." Since his girlfriend wanted to see it, Li Ling would definitely grant her wish. "You all move aside."
Li Ling gestured for Ali and Ghost King Da to step aside.
"Senior, may I borrow this table from you?" Li Ling said to Ghost King Da.
Then Li Ling faced the table in front of him, channeled his internal energy into his right hand, and gently slammed his right fist onto the table.
"Snap!"
The table shattered instantly.
Ordinary martial artists can only break the point of impact when they strike an object, but masters of internal energy can use their internal energy to attack the interior of the object, so this table was smashed to pieces in an instant.
"Wow, Ah Yin, you're amazing!" Ali jumped onto Li Ling and gave him a quick kiss; that's just how fiery she is.
"Cough cough~" Ghost King Da coughed to indicate that he was still there.
Ali jumped off Li Ling, but still looked at him with stars in her eyes.
