The image ambassador of Kanglong Hall? Li Gang's statement stunned everyone present. This Hall Master truly has a wild imagination, suggesting that they should appoint an image ambassador for the gangster. Is he planning to run an advertisement on CCTV? Or perhaps secure naming rights for the CCTV Spring Festival Gala? This idea is just too avant-garde!
"Yes! An image ambassador!" Li Gang affirmed. "For a gang to grow and develop, brand promotion is crucial. Only by implementing a branding strategy and integrating resource advantages can we create the top domestic gangster brand and break out of Yongzhou to go national!"
"Great!" Liu Jinshui clapped vigorously. Leopard Three and Long Five shot him a fierce glare, prompting him to reluctantly lower his hands. What's wrong with flattering someone? I love it! If I want to flatter, I will!
"Well, Li Gang, let's discuss the image ambassador matter later. For now, let's resolve the issue at hand. If you really insist on me being this image ambassador, we can negotiate specifics like what style to adopt and how to present myself," Xin Yi said, feeling a bit embarrassed. Despite trying to keep a low profile, why does he still shine like a firefly in the night or a caterpillar on a leaf wherever he goes? If it's not that he's not low-key enough, then it's because his brilliance simply cannot be suppressed no matter how hard he tries—what a dilemma!
Leopard Three and Long Five looked solemn. They had just lost a round unexpectedly, without even having the chance to fight back before being knocked down by a young woman. This time, they decided to be cautious and would not let the cunning enemy take advantage again.
Xin Yi stood relaxed across from them, not even making eye contact as he calmly stated, "You can use any method and any weapon; of course, I will use weapons too."
Leopard Three and Long Five exchanged glances but did not move. They felt that dealing with someone who seemed so unremarkable did not require any weapons.
"Alright then, since you won't use weapons, I won't either. Earlier you said my woman could have three moves; now I'll give you three moves as well," Xin Yi declared.
Arrogant—extremely arrogant! He thinks he can't be hurt? Because of this arrogance, today we will specifically aim to injure his pride! We will hurt him so badly that he won't want to look in the mirror ever again!
With a roar, Leopard Three and Long Five split into two directions and charged at Xin Yi. Long Five's fingers curled like claws as he aimed directly for Xin Yi's face—this was clearly an attempt at disfigurement. His claws could scratch marks into concrete; let alone Xin Yi's fair face—if he got caught, Xin Yi's once-proud handsome features would likely be reduced to mere bones. At the same time, Leopard Three's explosive body lunged forward, his right leg aimed straightforwardly at Xin Yi's left knee. Though this attack seemed simple and lacked technical finesse, given Leopard Three's explosive power in his legs, if it landed solidly, Xin Yi's left leg would surely shatter at the knee—it could bend forward but not backward. This move was straightforward yet practical and deadly; this was how street thugs fought—not concerned with the process but only with the outcome.
The combined thunderous strike from Leopard Three and Long Five was seamless, effectively sealing off both of Xin Yi's escape routes. However, as their attacks closed in, Xin Yi remained unfazed and calm until Leopard Three's foot was merely ten centimeters from his left knee when he slightly bent forward instead of retreating to meet Leopard Three's full-force kick.
Seeing this unexpected movement from Xin Yi brought joy to Leopard Three—wasn't this akin to lighting a lantern in a latrine? How could someone be so self-destructive? If hit by this kick, even a steel pipe as thick as a calf would bend; what chance did a human body have?
However, the anticipated scenario did not unfold. His foot indeed connected with Xin Yi's left knee—or rather, Xin Yi had thrust his knee against Leopard Three's foot—but this contact felt like a mere touch of a dragonfly skimming water; they separated immediately after contact. Leopard Three felt no significant force behind it and watched as Xin Yi effortlessly floated back four or five meters.
"First move," Xin Yi said.
Both Leopard Three and Long Five were taken aback simultaneously; merely using the slight force from their brief contact with his knee allowed him to float so far away. Who exactly was this person? Could it be that lightness skills like "Lingbo Weibu" or "water walking" truly exist in this world?
Only then did they realize why this young man appeared so arrogant—he was actually a hidden master! Both of them practiced external Kung Fu relying on speed and strength; while they could easily handle ordinary opponents, facing someone who mastered both internal and external skills would likely prove challenging.
The two quickly charged forward after their initial attack missed, having developed a strong rapport during their usual sparring sessions. A simple gesture or even a glance was enough for them to understand each other's intentions. This time, they did not attack from the front simultaneously; instead, they split into left and right, forming a pincer movement. Although they were attacking from both sides, they also divided their assault into upper and lower routes, effectively cutting off any escape routes behind Xin Yi, determined to trap him within their encirclement.
However, Xin Yi proved to be exceptional. In the midst of their claw and leg strikes, he suddenly pushed off with both feet and astonishingly leaped over two meters vertically, soaring above their heads and out of their encirclement.
"Second move," Xin Yi said.
If Xin Yi had merely surprised them by dodging their previous attack, this time they were truly shocked. It seemed to defy the limits of human capability; without a running start or any equipment, he had jumped over two meters straight up and even managed to change direction mid-air. Such a feat was beyond what any human could achieve. Could it be that this young man was actually a monster?
Despite their astonishment, both were seasoned practitioners of Kung Fu. They could not simply concede defeat; even if he were a monster, they had to test whether they could match up against him like the Great Sage Equal to Heaven or Marshal Tianpeng. After exchanging glances, they quickly lunged at Xin Yi once more.
This time, they altered their approach. They no longer aimed to injure Xin Yi in one blow but instead wanted to see if he could evade their attacks again. Thus, they abandoned targeting his lower body and focused solely on his upper body. Additionally, Long Five blocked any upward escape route; even if he could leap into the air, he couldn't burrow underground. This time, they were determined to see how he would evade them.
Long Five took charge of sealing off all escape routes for Xin Yi, his claws looming over Xin Yi from the left, right, behind, and above. Meanwhile, Leopard Three unleashed a powerful strike aimed directly at Xin Yi's chest; the force of his punches was strong enough to rustle clothing. In response, Xin Yi took a deep breath and crossed his arms in front of his chest. With a resounding "bang," he braced himself against the two punches from Leopard Three.
Indeed, Leopard Three's explosive power was extraordinary. After absorbing those two punches, Xin Yi, weighing 150 pounds, was sent flying backward like a soccer ball kicked away. At that moment, Long Five happened to be right behind him; when Xin Yi collided with him, Long Five was also sent flying and crashed into the nearby Weapon Rack at a speed faster than that of Xin Yi.
A series of clattering sounds erupted as the weapon-laden Weapon Rack toppled over due to Long Five's impact, causing various weapons to scatter across the ground. Poor Long Five, having collided with the solid wooden structure of the rack on his back, fell to the ground and coughed up blood.
From Long Five's condition alone, one could gauge just how immense the force behind Leopard Three's punches was. Even though Long Five had only been indirectly struck by the impact, he sustained such severe injuries. One could only imagine how much force Xin Yi had endured directly from those punches.
"Third move," came Xin Yi's calm voice.
Looking at Xin Yi, he stood two meters away from the fallen Long Five, with his right leg bent back against the ground. However, judging by the marks on the ground, it was clear that he had slid about a meter before stabilizing himself—evidence of how great the force he had absorbed truly was.
Leopard Three, in disbelief, stared at Xin Yi for a full half-minute before walking over to help lift up the fallen Long Five. The two exchanged knowing glances and bowed slightly as they said in unison: "Brother Xin is indeed remarkable; we concede!"
"We haven't even truly begun fighting yet; how can you say that? I promised you both three moves earlier; now that three moves have passed, we can officially start," Xin Yi replied with a smile.
"No need to fight anymore; we know we are no match for you, Brother Xin. We admit defeat!" both Leopard Three and Long Five said in unison once more.
"Hahaha... Brother Xin is indeed not an ordinary person! I didn't misjudge him!" said Li Gang loudly while applauding. "Our Black Dragon Society welcomes extraordinary talents like Brother Xin! Brother Xin, I will make an exception today; starting from now, you are officially an Incense Master of our Black Dragon Society Kanglong Hall!"
Seeing his boss applauding, Liu Jinshui quickly joined in and said, "I knew Brother Xin was a talented individual! It seems I've found another fierce warrior for the gang. Hall Master, shouldn't we celebrate such a great occasion?"
"Absolutely!" Li Gang replied. "Let's set up a few tables at Golden Capital tonight. All brothers above Altar Master should be invited so we can welcome Brother Xin and treat him to a feast!"
"Alright, Hall Master, I'll make the arrangements right away!" Liu Jinshui said eagerly.
"Go ahead; consider it a way to leave a good impression on your new boss!" Li Gang waved his hand.
"What? New boss?" Liu Jinshui was taken aback.
"Yes, from now on, Brother Xin is your Incense Master. Isn't that your new boss?"
"Hall Master, what... what should I do?" Liu Jinshui finally understood Li Gang's meaning. It turned out that the position of Incense Master was what he held! How could he be so unfortunate? He had brought his brothers to find a venue early in the morning but ended up getting beaten up without securing anything. He originally thought he could use Hall Master's influence to deal with this Xin person, but unexpectedly, that person easily defeated two of Hall Master's top subordinates and rose to the position of Incense Master in one fell swoop.
What was most frustrating was that this Incense Master position originally belonged to him. In other words, he had woken up early today just to bring someone who would take away his position!
