Chapter 559: Chapter 550: Li Canghai
Ding Ling was taken aback.
He never expected that the Sweeping Monk in the Scripture Pavilion of Shaolin Temple was actually Li Canghai!
Li Canghai, the youngest disciple of Master Xiaoyao.
She was the little junior sister of Heavenly Mountain Granny Wu Xingyun, Wuya Zi, and Li Qiushui!
How could she possibly be hiding in Shaolin Temple?!
However, upon closer thought, it seemed reasonable.
The Sweeping Monk had been in Shaolin Temple for forty-two years.
It was exactly the time when Wuya Zi and Li Qiushui fell in love and married. Although Wuya Zi married Li Qiushui and had a daughter named Li Qingluo, it seemed he still couldn’t forget Li Canghai, as evidenced by the jade statues he carved and the portraits he painted, all in the image of Li Canghai.
It seemed that Li Canghai surely didn’t want to get involved in such a love triangle, so she simply distanced herself from Wuya Zi and Li Qiushui, leading a secluded life.
However, Wuya Zi was highly skilled and would surely find the reclusive Li Canghai.
But how could she make Wuya Zi unable to find her?
Through the use of Makeup Skill and Disguise Skill, and then changing her physique with Bone Shrinking Skill, she entered Shaolin Temple and became a ’male monk!’
No matter how great Wuya Zi’s abilities, it would be difficult to find a person like Li Canghai, even if the sky broke open.
Even Ding Ling himself.
If it weren’t for the sudden prompt sound reminding him.
He also couldn’t see that the Sweeping Monk in front of him was a woman!
This shows that her disguise and evasion skills had reached the pinnacle level! Even Ding Ling, with his Full-Level Observing People Skill and acting skills, couldn’t see through the disguise!
Such ability.
Is imaginable!
Wuya Zi may not have considered that Li Canghai would hide in this Shaolin Temple, and even if he did, it would be difficult to recognize her in person.
"It’s actually Li Canghai. I wonder if her appearance is truly identical to Li Qiushui."
’Clearly with the same looks and physique, why would Wuya Zi always remember Li Canghai?’
In the process of Ding Ling interacting and chatting with the Sweeping Monk Li Canghai, he gradually gained insight.
Li Canghai was tranquil and indifferent, unconcerned with worldly affairs, extremely gentle, and low-key, truly achieving a state of blending in without showing any sharpness, to the utmost degree.
In contrast, Li Qiushui was charming and enchanting, ruthless, and scheming, which was a world of difference!
Interacting and communicating with her was very pleasant, always making people feel warm and gentle.
With Li Qiushui, it was different; one was always tense and could easily get into arguments if slightly displeased.
"So that’s how it is."
Ding Ling was relieved.
"What is it?"
Li Canghai was puzzled and confused:
"I wonder what Your Majesty has figured out?"
"I’ve figured out some matters of human nature."
Ding Ling stood up and said:
"Senior, it’s getting late, why don’t we move outside for some sparring?"
Concerning task 2.
Of course, Ding Ling wouldn’t ignore it and give up.
This is also because the Sweeping Monk is the number one in the world.
If it were the elusive Zuo Ci from the Three Kingdoms World, Ding Ling figures he would be at a loss again.
To find the Sweeping Monk so smoothly.
Ding Ling could only say: ’Li Canghai truly deserves to contend with Little Dragon Girl as a super recluse!!’
Hiding in the Scripture Pavilion and sweeping for forty-two years!
Is this something an ordinary person can achieve?
Calling either Little Dragon Girl or Li Canghai a recluse is an understatement!
Thinking of Little Dragon Girl, Ding Ling felt warmth, and his attitude towards Li Canghai became somewhat kinder.
Li Canghai noticed, and became increasingly perplexed and confused; she instinctively suspected she had given herself away, but upon sensing her entire self carefully, finding nothing wrong, she relaxed her doubts, thinking:
"I have been in seclusion at Shaolin Temple for a full forty-two years. During which, my Disguise Skill, Makeup Skill, and As You Wish Bone Shrinking Skill reached the Great Perfection Realm, even acquaintances can’t see through my disguise.
Ding Ling is meeting me for the first time. How could he know who I am? How could he possibly see through my disguise?"
Thinking this way.
Li Canghai’s mind was settled, and she also stood up and said:
"Let’s do as Your Majesty says."
The two immediately left the Scripture Pavilion.
Ding Ling performed Soaring in the Void, with invisible waves of wind rising beneath his feet, lifting him to float up.
Li Canghai’s heart quivered at the sight, very shaken, is this Soaring in the Void?!
She was shocked:
"Isn’t the threshold for Soaring in the Void at least the Middle Tier Grandmaster level?! Thus, doesn’t that mean Ding Ling’s cultivation is at least above the Middle Tier Grandmaster level?!"
Li Canghai was moved.
But recalling Ding Ling’s methods of defeating the Four Kingdoms, she was relieved. Only with high cultivation paired with extraordinary lightweight and martial arts skills could one easily crush the Four Kingdoms like that.
To avoid revealing herself, she used Shaolin Temple’s ’Dragonfly Water-landing Lightness Skill,’ with her extremely high cultivation, proficient in most of Shaolin Temple’s skills, her power reached the Transformation Realm. Even with such an ordinary Lightweight Ascension Technique, she effortlessly caught up with Ding Ling with a speed as swift as the wind.
Ding Ling noticed, and slightly increased his speed.
Li Canghai kept pace.
This pace quickened three times.
Li Canghai couldn’t catch up, only then did Ding Ling slow his flying speed.
Li Canghai, seeing this, marveled deeply. With Ding Ling intentionally holding back so much, she still couldn’t catch up—considering Ding Ling’s young age, her admiration grew.
She felt that if her master were alive, seeing this child Ding Ling would no doubt be overjoyed, exclaiming that there’s someone to carry on!
Whoosh, whoosh!
Ding Ling and Li Canghai, one in front and one behind, soared out of Shaolin Temple, reaching a dense forest over ten miles away.
Under the moonlit night.
The clear moonlight, like cold water, spilled over the two, making them, standing atop tree tips, appear more and more transcendent and out-of-this-world.
After greeting each other, they began to spar and compete.
Both started off using Shaolin Temple’s Seventy-Two Skills.
Sometime Dorayaki, with piercing Vigorous Qi, penetrated the void, seemingly able to shatter the Void Nether.
In another moment, the Great Vajra Palm collided in the void, producing a loud booming sound.
At times, the Divine Palm Eight Strikes clashed back and forth, palm shadows filled the air, with continuous banging sounds.
The duo fought from tree tops to the ground.
Very tacitly, they simultaneously executed Shaolin Flower-Scattering Palm, —boom!—Amidst the flying flower petals, spiral qi entwined, collided, and dissipated in the void.
The two exchanged quick strikes, Prajna Divine Palm, Dragon Spin Palm, Tornado Palm, Golden Dragon Hand, Thousand-Pound Foot, Meteor Leg, Bright Fist, various Shaolin supreme skills, effortlessly wielded, each at the pinnacle, stirring the void with loud resounding forces!
Wherever they passed.
Flowers and leaves danced.
Tall trees swayed.
Like two Martial Gods in intense combat.
In less than half a moment they fought.
Li Canghai suddenly floated back three meters, folded her palms together, and said:
"The old monk has exhausted all skills and techniques, yet is far from being your match, Your Majesty... you held back too much."
She let out a long sigh, and said, "Let’s end our sparring here. I concede."
[1: Defeat over 20 Plane World experts: 114/20.],
from 113 increased to 114.
[2, You must defeat the strongest in the Plane. Prove that you are truly the World’s Number One. Progress 100%]
[Congratulations player Ding Ling, you have completed all tasks of the Path of the Glory War God!]
[Task Overachieved! Would you like to redeem the Glory Medal now? Proceed to an even higher Martial Hero Plane World?]
Ding Ling glanced at his Character Panel.
Sure enough, the task was completed.
But now was clearly not the right time for redemption.
He hadn’t finished reading the books in the Imperial Study.
Leaving like this.
Would be too wasteful.
Why did he become Emperor? Wasn’t it to gather all the secret manuals of the world for his own use? Now the secret manuals from small countries like Dali Kingdom are also being continuously sent to Luoyang.
How could Ding Ling leave now?
To leave.
Would be after finishing reading the secret manuals.
