Chu Li scoffed. "So you're playing dumb too."
"It's better to be dumb." Guo Shan said, "You'll only make yourself unhappy if you're so clear about everything … You should go back. You're enlightened now. Don't offend people with your words!"
Chu Li pouted. "I'll say whatever I want to say. Who cares about them! They're just a bunch of useless people. What's there to be afraid of? "
"Let's go!" Guo Shan waved his hand and said impatiently.
A leopard could not change its spots. No matter how smart he was, he would still act foolishly. With his personality, he would be at a disadvantage sooner or later!
"Then let's go to the association together tomorrow." Chu Li said, "I'll stand up for you. Let's see who dares to oppose me!"
"Alright, alright." Guo Shan waved his hand.
He was quite satisfied too. Having a fighter like Zhao Dahe saved him a lot of trouble.
As a Commander, he needed his most loyal subordinate. Zhao Dahe was a sword. Although he was annoying, he was useful.
The next morning, Chu Li was practicing his blade in his courtyard.
He found a secret manual in the house called the Zhao Family Blade Technique.
The secret manual was hidden under a brick. Apart from the owner, no one could find it.
With the Omniscient Mirror, he could see inside and out. He saw the blade technique.
This blade technique was not the best but it was unique. It was divided into three forms, the Mountain Splitting Form, the River Flattening Form, and the Yin Lifting Form.
As long as these three forms were matched well, it would be an exquisite blade technique. If they were not matched well, it would be a mediocre blade technique. The key was the comprehension of the blade user and their understanding of the blade technique.
Compared to the Seven Forms of Divine Blade, the Zhao Family Blade Technique paled in comparison. It did not have the accumulation, acceleration, and deterrence of the Seven Forms of Divine Blade. The speed of the blade would not increase but the blade technique was simple and effective. It could fully utilize the cultivation level of the blade user.
Chu Li now positioned himself as a character without inner energy but with infinite strength.
The Life and Death Scripture kept him in a state of emptiness. With the void as his Dantian, his Dantian became a void. To others, he did not know martial arts or cultivated inner energy, so he was vulnerable.
The reason why he had become a person without inner energy and could only rely on his strength to win was because the Holy Church of Light had strict requirements for accepting disciples. They had extremely high aptitude requirements and were not allowed to cultivate martial arts from other sects.
Therefore, if he wanted to become a disciple of the Holy Church of Light, he could not reach the Innate Stage. He could only suppress himself at the Acquired Stage. It would be best if he did not have any inner energy. Coupled with his strong body and infinite strength, it would be the easiest way for him to enter the Holy Church of Light.
"Creak", the brand-new courtyard door was pushed open.
Guo Shan had already found someone to replace the gate of the courtyard with a new one, and it immediately looked different. The house no longer looked dilapidated, and the things that were originally in the house had also been sent back. It was said that not a single item was missing, including the broken saber in his hand.
This broken saber had a chip on it, as if it had been chopped on a rock. The blade of the saber was starting to rust. Not only was the saber of poor quality, but it was also poorly maintained, so there was no butter on it.
"Let's go!" Guo Shan walked in with his crutch.
Chu Li said, "I'll finish cultivating this blade technique!"
Guo Shan stood at the side and watched him swing his saber. He shook his head and said, "Your saber technique …"
"This is the Zhao family's blade!" Chu Li scoffed as he swung his saber. "My ancestor was a top-notch swordsman. He was famous throughout the world with this set of Zhao family's blade!"
"I've never heard of this Zhao family's blade." Guo Shan shook his head and said, "How can your saber only be firm and fierce? It needs to be soft and hard at the same time."
"The Zhao family's blade relies on being firm and fierce," Chu Li said.
Guo Shan said, "Alright, it's firm and fierce. It's getting late, we should go to the association!"
"Alright." Chu Li sheathed his saber.
He sheathed his saber and hung it on his waist. "Commander Guo, you should get me a good saber!"
"No problem." Guo Shan agreed without hesitation.
Although he was using his crutch, he did not walk slowly. After all, he was a perfected Innate Master, so his inner energy was still there.
The two of them walked west for about two miles, then turned north and stepped onto the North-South Avenue. They walked to the center of the town, then headed east and entered a large courtyard.
Once they entered, they saw a spacious martial arts field. There were almost a hundred people there, and it was very lively.
Some of them were practicing their blades, some were practicing their swords, but there were very few who were practicing their palms.
Acquired Masters practiced their weapons, whereas Innate Masters practiced their fists and legs. However, most Innate Masters practiced their weapons as well, since weapons were more powerful.
Seeing Guo Shan and Chu Li, the crowd greeted them from time to time.
"Elder Guo, how's your recovery?"
"Elder Guo, are you really crippled?"
"It's good that you're crippled!"
"You should get a metal crutch, it can be turned into a weapon."
Guo Shan smiled and greeted them.
As for Zhao Dahe, they only glanced at him and no one spoke to him. Zhao Dahe's words were irritating, so talking to him was asking for trouble.
Deputy Association Leader Meng Ya and three Commanders walked over and said loudly, "Everyone is here, I'll announce an order from the Association Leader. From today onwards, Guo Shan will be the Commander, taking over Commander Wu's position!"
"What?!" Everyone was shocked.
Meng Ya said, "Guo Shan is a veteran in the association, he did his best. He was injured for the sake of the Chivalry Association. We're all very sad about Commander Wu's passing, but the position of Commander cannot be left vacant. Guo Shan is the most suitable candidate, so from today onwards, Guo Shan will be the new Commander!"
"I don't agree!" A tall and strong young man said loudly, "Elder Guo has worked hard and contributed a lot, but his martial arts has deteriorated. The Commander should have the strongest martial arts, but a cripple becoming the Commander is a joke, he's an embarrassment to the Chivalry Association!"
Standing in the crowd, he was like a crane standing in a flock of chickens, he was particularly eye-catching.
Chu Li took a step forward and shouted, "He Yingju, what nonsense are you spouting!"
"Zhao Dahe, you're the one spouting nonsense. What did I say wrong?" He Yingju scoffed angrily. "You're an idiot, why are you joining in the fun? Get lost!"
"I, Zhao Dahe, will declare here that Elder Guo will be the Commander. If anyone is dissatisfied, come at me, I'll beat them up!" Chu Li thumped his chest and said loudly, "Come at me if you dare!"
"How arrogant of you!" He Yingju was tall and strong, like an iron tower. Standing in front of him, Chu Li was like an adult and a child. He sneered. "You think you can overturn the world just because you had a fortuitous encounter?"
"If I don't beat you up, my surname isn't Zhao!" Chu Li said loudly.
"You're courting death!" He Yingju pushed his way through the crowd and came in front of Chu Li. He slapped him. His fan-like hand was fast and ruthless. He wanted to slap Chu Li away so that he would shut his stinky mouth.
Chu Li threw a punch.
"Slap!" A crisp sound was heard. Chu Li's palm had landed on his big hand.
He Yingju staggered two steps back and hurriedly shook his hand. It was painful.
Chu Li followed up with a punch.
"Bam!" He Yingju raised his hand to block but was sent flying three meters away. He fell heavily on the ground.
Chu Li came in front of him and stepped on his chest. He smirked. "He Yingju, do you admit defeat?"
"Admit defeat my a * s!" He Yingju's face was red and he scoffed angrily.
Chu Li kept stepping on him with the tip of his foot.
He Yingju felt his bones creaking. He was in so much pain that he felt like he was going to break. He struggled a few times but his feet were as heavy as a mountain.
The creaking grew louder and louder. His bones were about to break.
Chu Li's triangular eyes glowed fiercely. He glared at him. "Do you admit defeat?"
"Stomp me to death if you have the guts!" He Yingju roared.
"Then I'll stomp you to death!" Chu Li said coldly.
He Yingju gritted his teeth. He refused to scream or groan. He felt that his bones were really broken. It was extremely painful.
However, Chu Li did not let go of his foot. He continued to step on him.
