Ghost King Da then said to Li Ling with excitement, "It seems we have a great chance of winning this challenge. But Ah Yin, you can't underestimate your opponent. The Broken Water Flow lineage is still very powerful."
Li Ling nodded and said, "Senior, please rest assured, I will not underestimate any enemy. During this month, I will practice the Shadow-Following Kick and Golden Snake Entwining Hand techniques of the Ancient Fist lineage. I believe that I will have no problem fighting against karate."
Ghost King Da nodded in satisfaction. He was pleased with Li Ling's lack of arrogance. A martial artist must never underestimate any enemy and must always maintain a sense of awe. He himself had lost his sense of awe back then, which led to his current predicament.
"You're absolutely right. After I became famous, I started indulging in a life of debauchery. The corruption of alcohol and women took its toll on my health, and I was defeated and never recovered."
At this point, Ghost King Da looked dejected.
Li Ling didn't say much, only that one should never be complacent, there is always someone better, and one should always have a sense of awe.
...
And so, Li Ling diligently practiced his skills for the next month, continuing to solidify his mastery of the Dragon Roar Iron Shirt technique.
Li Ling's internal strength is increasing every day, and his internal organs are constantly being strengthened and solidified under the special internal strength of the Dragon Roar Iron Shirt technique.
Under the influence of internal energy, Li Ling's meridians are now almost fully opened, except for the meridians on his face. He is now only one step away from the Grandmaster level of having all meridians open.
On the other hand, Li Ling is practicing both the Shadowless Leg and the Golden Snake Entwining Hand.
Although he has only mastered the basics so far, his power is already considerable. Now, Li Ling kicks out one kick and then another in quick succession. Ordinary people can only see a shadow of his kicks.
After practicing the Golden Snake Entwining Silk Hand, Li Ling's entire body is now as flexible as a snake. When attacking, his arms and legs can launch attacks from any angle, as if he has no bones.
In his spare time, Li Ling spent time with Ali, strengthening their relationship. During this time, Li Ling met Ali's parents, who owned a small company in Hong Kong and were considered quite successful businesspeople.
Knowing the outcome of horse racing betting, Li Ling is now quite wealthy. Furthermore, his tough and capable demeanor, coupled with his excellent conversation skills, left a very good impression on the two of them.
Besides, their precious daughter had been completely taken advantage of by this guy, and since their daughter was willing and Li Ling seemed alright to them, they agreed to let them be together.
Meanwhile, Li Ling also used his internal energy to check on Gui Wangda's injuries. Gui Wangda's right leg was crippled because the meridians in his right leg were severed by a karate master using his internal energy.
After examining him, Li Ling discovered that his internal energy could help heal his injuries. This excited Gui Wangda greatly. Martial arts in this world had not yet declined. Various schools such as Tai Chi and Xingyi Quan had senior masters of internal energy. Gui Wangda had sought their help to treat his injuries after he became crippled, but they were all powerless to help.
Now that Li Ling's internal energy can heal him, Ghost King Da is both excited and surprised. He is excited because there is hope for his leg to recover, but surprised because he wonders why Li Ling's internal energy has this effect.
Li Ling had some guesses about this, perhaps because his internal energy came from refining the energy of the world seed. This energy could originally enhance his physical fitness, and it could also play a role in repairing injuries he sustained in the special forces world. Therefore, it was not surprising that his internal energy also had the function of repairing injuries.
This discovery not only excited Ghost King Da, but also made Li Ling very happy. Did this mean that his internal energy could also heal his father's body? He would have to try it when he got back.
On this day, the pre-battle press conference organized by the television station began to be reported across the entire internet. 百镀一下“Wishing Star of All Realms 爪书屋”最新章节第一时间免费阅读。

Chapter 114 Pre-Battle Press Conference
"We at Happy Tonight are honored to host this 'Joyful Night' arena night."
It must be said that Director Chen put a lot of effort into the publicity, even hiring a TV reporter to cover the showdown between Li Ling and his senior brother. Because the Elite Center has a very high reputation throughout Hong Kong, a large number of people attended the press conference for this showdown.
In the conference hall, a long banner hung on the wall. The first line read, "Chinese Ancient Fist vs. Karate," and the second line read, "The Successor of Ancient Fist Techniques Battles the Master of the Broken Water Flow Sect."
Because Director Chen had witnessed the confrontation between Li Ling and his senior brother, He Jinyin was not written as a "delivery boy" as in the movie.
In front of the banner was a long table. Li Ling and his senior brother sat on either side of the host, while Ghost King Da, as the head of the Chinese ancient boxing school, sat next to Li Ling.
At the very front of the press conference, a group of onlookers and TV station staff were taking pictures of the stage.
At this point, the host enthusiastically introduced the two sides: "The two contestants are Mr. Takeout, who is sitting to my right, and is a second-generation disciple of Chinese ancient boxing."
The host introduced Li Ling as in the movie. Because Li Ling had never demonstrated his martial arts skills in front of people, and He Jinyin's previous identity was that of a food deliveryman, he was still looked down upon by the host, just like in the movie.
Li Ling sat calmly, not angry. Reputation is earned through fighting, and the weak have no voice.
"What is your name?" the host asked him.
"My name is He Jinyin," Li Ling said calmly.
"Oh, 'delivery boy' is his nickname. His real name is He Jinyin." The host spoke loudly into the microphone, deliberately drawing out his words, his tone full of disdain.
Li Ling smiled slightly at the camera.
"The contestant to my left is the three-time consecutive karate champion, Master Duan Shui Liu~~"
The host's voice was melodious and varied, and his long career as a host made it easy for him to engage the audience.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
The audience below the stage burst into enthusiastic applause.
The host continued, "Both parties have already signed a waiver of liability." He took out the signed waiver and showed it to the reporters in the audience for them to take pictures.
After the death warrant was displayed, the host asked Li Ling, "By the way, Mr. He Jinyin, many people have described this challenge as 'suicidal.' What is the reason that you made such a tragic decision?" The host handed the microphone to Li Ling.
"I……"
Just as Li Ling was about to speak, the host turned the microphone to the other side, preventing him from speaking.
The host looked down on the food delivery guy. Although he was somewhat handsome, he was overestimating himself by challenging the karate master. It was utterly absurd.
At the press conference, Ali and her best friend Luna were sitting together. When they saw the host flirting with Li Ling, they got angry and shouted, "You bastard, you bullied my boyfriend, I'll smash you to death!"
As she spoke, Ali took out a bottle of mineral water and threw it at the host.
With a 'thud,' the host was knocked to the ground by a mineral water bottle, leaving only his nearsighted glasses swaying on the long table.
"Whoa!!"
