One person: After starting with the academic atmosphere, I'll take down Xia He!

Bao Chan took the wine cup, quickly filled it to the brim, waited a moment, and then drank it all in one gulp.

"Yes, I feel very at ease!"

Ma Long smiled at Bao Chan: "Little Master Bao Chan, you're quite something!"

Is it really okay to hide here alone and sneak a bite of barbecue?

Bao Chan pursed his lips: "It's alright!"

Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but Buddha remains in the heart.

With my master away, I'll have mutton and beer.

The Buddha is neither on the lips nor in the heart!

By attaining Buddhahood through my own body, I become Buddha!

It was during the Spring Festival, and Lingyin Temple was packed with people, so I had to sneak out.

"Quick, quick, I want to eat some more."

Ma Long smiled after hearing this, but then reached out to stop him.

Bao Chan looked at Ma Long with a puzzled expression and asked, "Young Master Long, what do you mean by this?"

"Master Baochan, you must have some misunderstanding!"

Whether you break the precepts or not is none of my business.

You should at least get an explanation for eating and drinking for free.

Our barbecue and wine are not for you!

Ma Long's words made perfect sense. Bao Chan scratched his head, speechless. He wasn't stupid; he could roughly guess what Ma Long was thinking.

Young people are always competitive, and he was also eager to test whether the top spot on the list of young heroes was truly deserved.

So he smiled faintly and said, "Young Master Long, I understand what you mean."

Then let's have a go and see if my skills are good enough for you to have this feast!

I've also had my eyes opened; what kind of amazing skills does the top-ranked young hero possess?

When Ma Long heard him say that, he nodded repeatedly: "Hahaha, that's great."

"Young Master Baochan, let's stop talking nonsense and get back to work!"

"it is good!"

The two hit it off immediately and started fighting right away. The valley was quite large, so they stopped after moving a distance from the fire.

Bao Chan, dressed in a short, thin monk's robe, stood firm in a T-stance and looked at Ma Long: "Young Master Long, please make your move!"

"Hehe, you're too kind, young master. I was being rude."

Ma Long was not reserved either; after firmly standing on both feet, he released a ball of Qi.

"The Feng Hou Qi Men Formation, activated!"

"Kun character, Tuheche!"

"The character 'Kun' signifies earth flowing like armor!"

"The Three Pure Ones' Barrier-Breaking Talisman!"

"Nine Heavens Heavenly Talisman!"

The classic starting move: Malone is encased in stone armor, stepping on a stone dragon and soaring into the air.

The stone dragon beneath his feet swirled and danced, and he looked down at Bao Chan: "Little Master, aren't you going to make a move?"

Bao Chan nodded: "Young Master Long, you have quite the skills. I've truly seen the abilities of a sorcerer today."

I won't presume to presume, Young Master Long, be careful.

After Bao Chan finished speaking, a golden light emanated from his body, and his pale golden skin made him appear even more majestic.

"The stone dragon is nice, but it's all show and no substance. I have the Vajra Lion's Roar, watch me break your stone dragon."

Bao Chan took a deep breath, and his originally solid chest swelled up. Golden light shimmered around him, and a magnificent lion phantom materialized above his head.

"Ho~ho!"

A solemn and dignified voice rang out, neither harsh nor too loud, but filled with Buddhist qualities.

The onlookers were all on tenterhooks for Ma Long.

Bao Chan's Lion's Roar can be directed; he controls it with Qi, and the sound waves primarily attack Ma Long and the stone dragon beneath his feet.

The phantom lion in the sky continued to roar, its buzzing sound incessant. Malone felt the stone dragon beneath his feet begin to tremble, and he himself felt very uncomfortable hearing the sound.

My eardrums vibrated, as if dozens of old monks were chanting sutras next to my head with wooden fish.

"Bang!" The stone dragon broke under the weight, and its stone armor shattered.

"Very well, I've witnessed the Shaolin's ultimate skills. It seems I have no choice but to fight with my full strength."

"The character '巽' (Xun) represents swift wind wings!"

He first used his wind wings to prevent himself from falling from the sky, a technique that also shocked Bao Chan.

He clapped his hands: "You can actually fly? That's amazing. Watch me shake you down."

Bao Chan continued to exhale a ball of Qi, and the lion roared, sending a powerful sonic wave towards Ma Long.

"The stars shift, the sun and moon revolve, and the universe changes!"

"The word 'zhen' (震) resounds!"

Left with no other choice, Ma Long resorted to a high-energy-consuming spell. As he cast the spell, the environment within a hundred-meter radius changed drastically.

What should have been early spring has now turned into late autumn, and a sense of desolation is creeping in.

At the same time, an undeniable clap of thunder resounded, and the sound waves emitted by Bao Chan were completely dissipated.

Bao Chan was shocked: "Holy crap!"

Words become law? A complete upheaval?

Is this even human? Holy crap, what kind of divine power is this!

No, I need to calm down and use my expertise.

Ma Long truly deserves his title as the number one on the Hero Ranking; his combat power is at least 12,000, while mine is less than 8,000.

This is a huge gap; I can't afford to be careless.

Even though the surrounding environment had changed drastically, Bao Chan quickly calmed down. He knew that the Lion's Roar was useless, so he immediately abandoned his methods and stopped wasting his energy.

"Young Master Long, you've got some skill. I have one more palm strike to strike, so please be careful."

Bao Chan's face was serious. With a flick of his hand, he released a large amount of Qi. At this moment, golden light shone brightly around him, and the Qi formed a huge hand that was taller than a person in front of him.

The palm was long and thick, covered with Buddhist light, and solemn and dignified.

Ma Long didn't dare to underestimate it either, and carefully examined the large hand, which had a large '卍' symbol in the palm.

"This is my Buddhist technique, the 'Ten Thousand Characters Never End,' also known as the Great Compassion Palm. Young Master Long, please try it!"

After Bao Chan finished speaking, he pushed hard, and the huge palm came straight for Ma Long with great speed and power.

While Malone was carefully examining the text in his palm, he suddenly noticed that the text had become larger: 'Why did it get bigger?'

Holy crap, is it coming straight for me?

So fast, I can't dodge it. Should I just take the hit? Not a good idea, I might suffer a loss.

Try to avoid it.

The chaotic golden clapper? It's too energy-consuming; there's no need for that!

Eight-door transport? Sure.

"Human Plate Technique, Eight Gates Movement!"

Ma Long used his lifting technique to manipulate the palm, but suddenly found that he could not lift it at all. The palm was radiating a bright light, and he could not lift it at all.

"Damn, this is the first time the Eight Gates Transport has failed!"

Could the Buddha's light possibly counter such methods?

Forget it, there's no time to figure it out, and I can't move you, so I'll just move myself. It'll just take a little more effort.

Thinking of this, Malone teleported away before the palm could strike him, thus dodging the attack.

Bao Chan, who remained on the ground, was stunned. He scratched the back of his head, seemingly unable to understand how Ma Long had dodged it.

'Are the wings on his back moving so fast? Can he teleport?'

That's unlikely. He's incredibly strong; Malone is truly amazing.

Can I handle this? Please, Buddha, do I have any other tricks up my sleeve?

Oh, and it's tough!

But I can't keep letting them beat me up!

Bao Chan hesitated for a long time. His Great Compassion Palm was already very fast. Since Ma Long had dodged it, he had no other means to attack his opponent.
