"You called out 'Mom and Dad,' did something happen to your parents?" Nan Xiangmei asked softly.
“Yeah!” Li Yang said irritably.
"Is that really true?" Maria Takagi exclaimed in surprise.
"What do you mean? Do you know what happened?" Li Yang immediately understood the meaning behind their words and asked excitedly.
"We just have this guess, but we're not sure. Someone paid a high price to bring my master to China!" Maria Takagi said somewhat embarrassedly.
“Some people have also spent a lot of money to invite my master here, also to China, to Jiangdong City!” Nan Xiangmei said, her head down.
"Who invited them?" Li Yang shouted.
"Li Yang, keep your voice down, don't scare them!" Chu Hong scolded.
"I'm sorry, I got too excited. Who invited your master? Could it be the same person who invited him?" Li Yang hurriedly apologized. "Otherwise, how come the two of you are together?"
“Yes. My master called me before he came to ask about the situation, so I had some guesses!” Maria Takagi said.
"After my master came to Jiangdong City, he met with me once and asked about the situation. I only found out when I was talking to Maria Takagi. I never expected that the person who invited them was the same person~" Nan Sangmi said.
“Yes, so we were very surprised and curious. But when we asked Master who she was going to deal with, she didn’t tell us. But I guessed that the person who could get my Master to come forward must be no ordinary person. Today I heard that something happened to your Bagua Sect, so I asked Nan Xiangmei to investigate. That’s why I have some doubts about your situation!” Takagi Maria said.
"That's what I think too!"
"Who is your master? Is he very powerful?" Li Yang asked with a frown. He knew without asking that his martial arts skills were very high, but he needed them to answer exactly how high. Moreover, such a master must be very famous, both domestically and internationally.
“My master is Cui Changfeng, who is ranked fifth on the World Dragon Ranking,” Nan Xiangmei said with some pride.
“My master is also ranked fifth on the world’s Dragon Ranking, and his name is Yuki Kajiura,” Maria Takagi said.
Chapter 732: Not Wearing Underwear
Li Yang asked in surprise.
"Don't you know who the world's top experts are? And who is your master?" Maria Takagi asked in surprise.
"My master... hehe, his name is Lu Chen!" Li Yang said with an embarrassed smile.
"What? Lu Chen, ranked second on the Dragon Ranking?" Nan Xiangmei jumped up, looking incredulous.
"I think so!" Li Yang nodded.
"No wonder..." The two women exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes. No wonder they were no match for them; their master was just too awesome.
"Then let me tell you. The world's top martial arts masters, number one is Ye Gucheng, who commands ten grandmaster-level masters and owns an organization called God, the world's most powerful organization. He has achieved godhood in his physical body and is number one in combat power. Number two is your master, whose spirit has reached the Way of Sincerity, achieving godhood through the mind. Number three is Zhou Tong, the top bodyguard of Zhongnanhai from Shaolin, known as the National Arhat. He invented Shi Yonghui and has reached the realm of releasing innate qi, injuring people in the void without leaving a trace. Number four consists of two people, one is a Japanese karate master, also from Japan..."
The top fighter is Da Xiu Cang Yi, at the peak of the Bao Dan state, where all his Qi and blood are internalized and formed into a core, giving him the strength of a thousand jin with every strike, infinitely close to the realm of external Qi release. Another is Tony Jaa, the Thai Muay Thai grandmaster, whose Muay Thai has also reached the peak of the Bao Dan state, capable of killing an adult elephant with a single blow. The fifth place consists of five people, two of whom are America's top fighters, twin brothers Jack—Liu Chongshan, and Tom—Liu Shenshui.
Wang Gui, the top instructor of the Chinese army, my master Yuki Kajiura, and Cui Changfeng, the master of Minami Sangmi, were all masters at the peak of Huajin, infinitely close to the Baodan realm.
After speaking in one breath, Maria Takagi quietly looked at Li Yang, waiting for his reaction.
"Is there anything else you want to add? Like their gender, etc." Li Yang looked at Nan Xiangmei, surprised that the top ten experts on the World Dragon Ranking were arranged like this—just these ten people! Damn, it seems that the so-called Yin-Yang Harmony Technique left by that immortal was just a hoax. And since I activated it that time, besides my desires increasing significantly and my power seemingly growing considerably, I haven't noticed anything else. Does the so-called Spirit Realm not exist?
Never mind, let's deal with worldly matters first. I can't even handle worldly matters myself, why should I care about the spirit world?
"Apart from the Chinese army's top instructor and our master, the rest are all men!" Nan Xiangmei said speechlessly. Li Yang, even at a time like this, is still concerned about these things.
“The yang are overwhelmingly dominant over the yin,” Li Yang sighed. “But the few experts I’ve met are all at least at the Transformation Realm, yet they’re all among Ye Gucheng’s top ten subordinates. Why aren’t they ranked?”
“They’re not free agents anymore; they’re already subordinates of others, so they’ve automatically shed their titles. That’s why they don’t qualify!” Nam Sang-mi said.
"Oh, I see. Once you've become someone's lackey, you lose your right to this. Who invited your master? I'll go kill him!" Li Yang said fiercely. Damn, someone with the power to invite two world-class experts like them must have an extraordinary status. But anyone who dares to harm his parents, even the Heavenly King himself, he'd fight.
"My master doesn't want to reveal it!" The two shook their heads simultaneously.
"Holy crap! You guys..." Li Yang yelled in frustration. Wasn't that the same as saying nothing at all?
"There's nothing we can do!" the two said with a helpless, bitter smile.
"Holy crap, this concerns my parents' well-being! Could you make an exception and contact your master? I'll talk to them, and we'll do anything they want!" Li Yang said excitedly.
"I can't get in touch with her either!" Nam Sang-mi said helplessly.
"And you?" Li Yang asked, looking at Maria Takagi.
“I can’t get in touch with him either. My master said back then that this is the rule: you take people’s money and do their bidding. My master is extremely opinionated and won’t listen to anyone’s advice. So don’t even think about it!” Maria Gao Shu said helplessly.
"Oh my god! But now that we have a specific goal, things are a bit easier. It's better than nothing. I still want to thank you properly, but I don't know what you want. How about I make a small sacrifice and repay you with my body?" Li Yang looked at the two of them with a wicked smile.
Chu Hong immediately and secretly pinched his waist hard, making Li Yang gasp in pain. He cursed inwardly, "Damn it, she's trying to murder her husband!"
"Dream on!" Maria Takagi retorted.
“Exactly!” Nam Sang-mi also chimed in with a blushing smile.
"I'll remember what happened today. I need to hurry and rescue people, so I can't stay with you any longer. Goodbye!" Li Yang said, turning and leaving. The others understood Li Yang's predicament and didn't say anything, letting him go.
After leaving Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall, Li Yang felt a wave of annoyance and speechlessness. "Damn it," he thought, "it doesn't seem like Ye Gucheng and his group did this. Ye Gucheng is so arrogant and conceited, and his subordinates are all top-tier fighters. Although I crippled or killed a few of them, they were only low-level fighters among the top ten masters; they weren't seriously injured. He could easily send a few more experts to deal with me. Besides, someone as powerful as him would definitely disdain hiring people to do such a thing; otherwise, wouldn't that make him look incompetent, and his subordinates incompetent? How embarrassing!"
That must be someone else entirely, trying to use this opportunity to sow discord or take advantage of the situation to harm me, to make me think the wrong way, to incite me into a fight, so they can reap the benefits. That's why they haven't revealed any information or contacted me since kidnapping my parents. Their goal is to push me to the brink, then make me panic and lose my composure, leading to a fight between me and Ye Gucheng and the Fan family.
Holy crap, if that's really the case, this person is too insidious and despicable!
Li Yang sat down on the side of the road. It was dusk, rush hour, and the streets were filled with hurried pedestrians and slowly crawling cars. Li Yang sat down listlessly, like a heartbroken person who had just experienced a breakup or suffered a brutal blow from life. He stared blankly ahead, his eyes holding someone, but without focus.
It wasn't that Li Yang was frantic or stupid; rather, he was pondering the problem, filtering his enemies to see which one possessed the strength and wisdom to grasp such a delicate situation so precisely. But after much thought, he realized that someone with the funds to hire world-class experts, especially two of the top ten experts on the Dragon Ranking—and not just one—would need to spend that much. At least several million, perhaps even tens of millions each. Although Li Yang didn't know the exact price, he was certain it wouldn't be low.
