Moreover, as the two sides' true energy collided, the power that Cheng Kong had passed on to Zhang Junbao finally became integrated into Zhang Junbao's body. One by one, the acupoints in Zhang Junbao's body were opened, and when he made a move, his true energy, which was initially overflowing, became primordial and solid, condensing into one.
Li Ling initially held back his strength, but later unleashed his full power. In the end, as their true energies collided violently, the boulders beneath their feet shattered inch by inch.
Li Ling unleashed the Yin-Yang Tai Chi concept, which included the technique of using the opponent's force against them and shifting true energy with minimal effort. He stood still without moving, while Zhang Junbao couldn't help but take more than ten steps back, only stopping when he bumped into Cheng Kong behind him.
"Bang bang bang bang~"
Zhang Junbao left more than ten footprints on the ground.
"Good lad, your martial arts are not bad!"
Cheng Kong watched the whole thing from the sidelines and naturally knew how remarkable it was for Li Ling, at his age, to be able to defeat Zhang Junbao, who had obtained all of Li Ling's power. He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
At this moment, Zhang Junbao, having fully integrated his inner energy, regained full consciousness and looked at Li Ling, asking, "Master Yi, what brings you here?"
At this point, Zhang Junbao and Li Ling did not spend time together hiding from the martial arts world as in the original story, and the two were not particularly familiar with each other, so Zhang Junbao still addressed Li Ling as Master Yi.
Li Ling laughed heartily, "Hahaha, Brother Junbao, you've been hiding in Shaolin Temple for so long, there must be quite a few people in the martial arts world looking for you."
I was worried that you wouldn't be able to protect the treasure General Yue entrusted to you, but now that your skills have greatly improved, there are not many masters in the martial arts world who can defeat you, so I'm not worried anymore.
Today's sparring session with Brother Junbao was quite enjoyable, but now is not the right time. I will certainly seek your guidance again when I have more time!
Through their exchange, Li Ling had confirmed that Zhang Junbao had acquired all of Cheng Kong's power, instantly entering the realm of innate true essence. He had also grasped the concept of "emptiness" contained in the Yi Jin Jing, which explained why he would later comprehend Tai Chi, which also utilizes the opponent's force against them.
However, having suddenly acquired such high levels of skill, it will take him some time to hone these skills to the point of mastery and unleash their full potential.
Li Ling, stimulated by the series of battles at Shaolin, had a vague premonition of a breakthrough, so he planned to go back to cultivate first and then compete with Zhang Junbao after improving his skills.
“Master Xuanzhi, it seems that what you said before was incorrect. Zhang Junbao is in the Shaolin Sutra Pavilion. I imagine that many of our fellow martial artists will seek out Brother Junbao for guidance!”
Next, Li Ling ignored the still clamoring martial arts figures and directly pulled Xueyan away from Shaolin Temple. Some martial arts figures tried to persuade Li Ling to help capture Zhang Junbao, but Li Ling ignored them.
Having already achieved his goal of making a name for himself and fighting Zhang Junbao, Li Ling had no intention of paying attention to these greedy guys.
Li Ling was determined to leave, and these people in the martial arts world dared not stop him. After Li Ling left, they all wanted to capture Zhang Junbao and force him to tell them the whereabouts of the things that Marshal Yue had left for him.
Some of them tried to take advantage of the chaos and enter the Sutra Repository. However, most of the Shaolin Temple's masters had been injured by Li Ling earlier, and even Abbot Xuanzhi was injured. Faced with this rabble, they were in a rather sorry state for a while and it took them a lot of effort to drive these martial arts practitioners away.
Li Ling didn't care what happened at Shaolin Temple next, and he and Ling Xueyan went straight down Shaoshi Mountain.
Halfway there, Li Ling's expression shifted slightly. He shielded Ling Xueyan behind him and called out loudly, "May I ask which heroes you are? Please come out!"
Just then, a low shout rang out: "Make your move!"
"Swish swish~"
More than a dozen cylindrical hidden weapons flew out from their hiding place at great speed, heading towards Li Ling.
Li Ling's eyesight was incredibly sharp; with just a glance, he could tell that those hidden weapons were clearly thunderbolts, their fuses still sparking.
At that moment, a cold glint flashed in Li Ling's eyes! (Wish Star of All Heavens and Realms)

Chapter 188 I, Li Ling, am a Great Man
"snort!"
Li Ling snorted coldly. This group of people actually used the Heaven-Shaking Thunder to kill him. They were truly insane.
Li Ling immediately unleashed his mental power, causing ripples in the air. Under the influence of his mental power, one after another, the earth-shattering thunderbolts were thrown back.
After arriving in this world, Li Ling focused on practicing martial arts and was unwilling to use his mental power.
Over the years, his mental power has been continuously refined and enhanced by the World Essence Liquid, reaching an extremely terrifying level. Precisely because of this, Li Ling is worried that relying too much on mental power will cause his martial arts to stagnate, so he uses mental power as his trump card.
This is why Li Ling wasn't worried about facing the Carefree King, but since this group of people used the Heaven-Shaking Thunder against him today, there was no need to hold back his trump card.
The next moment, the thunderbolt that had been thrown back exploded with a deafening roar.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Ah!" "Ah!"...
Blood and severed limbs flew everywhere, and screams and wails filled the air.
Acrid white smoke filled the air, mixed with streaks of blood – the scattered blood.
"witchcraft!"
"Yi Jifeng knows sorcery!"
"Help!"
"My leg is broken, someone please save me!"
"..."
Ling Xueyan looked at Li Ling in disbelief. Li Ling reached out and held her hand. Ling Xueyan felt the warmth of her man's palm and felt a sense of security. No matter how he did all this, he was her strongest support.
Amidst the white smoke, Li Ling, holding Ling Xueyan's hand, channeled his mental power to disperse the thick smoke, clearing a path as they headed towards their ambush site.
At the ambush site, a group of Black Fiend assassins clutched their mangled bodies and wailed in agony. Severed limbs and remains were scattered everywhere on the ground, and even those who were still intact were severely injured. This group of ambushers had been wiped out by Li Ling in one fell swoop.
Seeing this scene that resembled hell on earth, Ling Xueyan couldn't help but cover her mouth, a wave of acid rising in her stomach. Li Ling noticed her discomfort and quickly channeled some of his inner energy into her, which greatly improved Ling Xueyan's complexion.
Beside the Black Fiends, the bows and arrows were also badly damaged.
