Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"My disciple, aren't you making things difficult for your master?"

Old Buddha Wang looked at Fang La with a helpless expression.

“Master, Liangshan only became a sacred place of martial arts because of that Zhou Tong who made that stupid list.”

Fang La looked at Old Buddha Wang and explained earnestly:

"Now that I'm going to shatter the reputation of Liangshan as a sacred place of martial arts, my Jiangnan Martial Arts Conference will definitely need someone of considerable influence to preside over it!"

"Master, you were a renowned figure in the previous generation of outlaws! Why can't you become the leading figure of martial arts in Jiangnan?!"

"Are you really afraid of Zhou Tong? Afraid to compete with him?"

"Your teacher, your teacher..."

Old Buddha Wang was helpless.

He really didn't want to tell Fang La, "You're right, your master really can't beat someone else's master."

Back when Zhou Tong first began to dominate both the legitimate and underworld circles of the Song Dynasty, masters from all over the world wanted to test the skills of this direct descendant of the boxing king Jin Tai, and challengers were as numerous as carp crossing a river.

But Zhou Tong, in less than two years, became invincible among his peers in the greenwood. Only the previous generation of greenwood masters could barely suppress him.

As a result, in less than two years, Zhou Tong surpassed those senior masters one after another, establishing his reputation as a martial arts legend. So when Emperor Zhezong recruited heroes from all over the world to join the Imperial Guard, Zhou Tong was immediately appointed as a first-class boxing master in the Imperial Boxing Hall!

You should know that he's the only one in the entire Imperial Boxing Gym who's ranked first in the Heavenly Class!

When Master Wang Gong first became an apprentice, he wasn't even the best in his own sect in terms of pure martial arts. He personally witnessed Zhou Tong storm his sect and defeat his fellow disciples one by one.

Finally, the master couldn't stand it anymore and intervened, but he still couldn't do anything to Zhou Tong.

Back then, Zhou Tong left his master's sect with a hearty laugh as he looked up at the sky!

Back then, even the Venerable Wang Gong didn't dare to make a single move against Zhou Tong!

However, after Zhou Tong turned and left, his fellow disciples, who were unwilling to give up, went down the mountain to intercept him, and were then beaten half to death.

How could Wang Gong Lao Fo tell Fang La about such a tragic past?

If word gets out, it will ruin my image!

Now, Fang La is actually sending him to fight Zhou Tong in a contest?

My disciple, I want to live a few more years. Can you please not send me away so soon?

Old Buddha Wang was very certain that if he really endorsed the Jiangnan Martial Arts Conference and wanted to create a martial arts ranking that belonged only to Jiangnan, then Zhou Tong would definitely come south to spar with him.

At that point, it would be a complete defeat, losing both face and morale!

“Master, Zhou Tong is also a human being, and he is older than you. So what if you lost to him a few times when you were young?”

"So many years have passed, who knows how much skill this martial arts legend still possesses? But you are different, Master. You have been practicing martial arts diligently every day for decades. You are no longer the person you were back then!"

"Don't you think that Zhou Tong is all bark and no bite right now? And that you are at the height of your power? In my heart, Master, you are no less than Zhou Tong! You are even stronger!"

Seeing that Master Wang was somewhat hesitant, Fang La could guess some things. In his opinion, his master must have lost to Zhou Tong when he was young, which was why he was afraid now.

Therefore, Fang La encouraged his master to be bolder!

But what he didn't expect was that not only did Old Buddha Wang lose a few moves, but he was also completely defeated by the other party in a few moves!

Although these are all just a few moves, the differences are huge!

"Master, please trust me just this once!"

“My disciple, to be honest, back then…”

Just as Old Buddha Wang was about to swallow his pride and tell Fang La the truth about what happened back then, Fang La spoke even faster:

"Master, don't worry. Even if Zhou Tong really comes, I will make sure you win. When you fight him, I will have the brothers in the sect put a muscle-weakening powder in Zhou Tong's tea. This stuff is colorless and odorless, so no one will notice it. It's the latest invention of the Poison Doctor among the Five Wanderers."

"After being poisoned by the muscle-softening powder, one will feel tired, dizzy, and weak in the limbs, but it will not be fatal. Even a top expert will be unable to fight properly for at least an hour, at which point Master will be able to defeat him fair and square!"

"The Liangshan Martial Arts Ranking relies on Zhou Tong's endorsement. Once Zhou Tong is defeated by my master, the Liangshan Martial Arts Ranking will lose its authority! At that time, all the martial artists in the world will come to Jiangnan and join my Ming Cult! My Ming Cult's great cause can be accomplished!"

It has to be said that the Ming Cult has a lot of bizarre and outlandish inventions.

It must be said that the Ming Cult was indeed unscrupulous in its efforts to spread its religion.

"By the way, Master, what did you mean by 'back then'?"

Fang La finished explaining his thoughts in one breath, and then remembered that his master seemed to have something to say as well.

"Ah, back then, I did indeed narrowly lose to Zhou Tong, but due to some things, I didn't want to fight him again."

"But since this matter is beneficial to my Ming Cult, as the Dharma King who protects the cult, I naturally have an inescapable responsibility."

"Do whatever you want this time. If Zhou Tong comes, I will deal with him."

In fact, Wang Gong Laofo was not swayed by Fang La's tea-related scheme.

Rather, it's because if the muscle-softening powder really works, then Master Wang plans to use it as a hidden weapon during their exchange of blows, slapping Zhou Tong in the face!

Zhou Tong might not drink the tea, and therefore might not fall for the trap.

But if you directly use your muscles to dislocate your face, even if Zhou Tong's martial arts are superior, you will have to kneel down and admit defeat!

As for whether it will be spread that the Ming Cult is secretly attacking people?

This old lady Wang didn't care; firstly, as long as she could win, that was enough.

Secondly, the martial arts tournament is being held in Suzhou, which is the territory of the Ming Cult!

"Master, that's right!"

Upon hearing that his master had agreed, Fang La immediately beamed with joy.

"Master, rest assured, I will immediately notify all the Dharma Kings, lay practitioners, flag leaders, and branch leaders, and tell them to make sure they all return on Laba Festival."

“Disciple, since all the Dharma Kings have been notified, you should also inform the Purple Mulberry Dragon King.”

Although Zisang Dragon King Duan Sanniang has not yet truly gained any real power since joining the sect, she is, after all, one of the Dharma Kings who protect the sect, and has some capable people under her command.

For example, that Poison Flame Ghost King Kou Xi, his fire-breathing skills are indeed quite impressive, and he has now become the deputy flag master of the Blazing Fire Banner.

For this martial arts tournament, we should still use the people under Duan San Niang who are still capable!

"Don't worry, Master, I understand."

Fang La nodded. Although he didn't usually have much contact with Duan Sanniang and the others, they still maintained a good relationship.

After all, as Master Wang said, Duan Sanniang could shield Fang La from one death.

Who wouldn't cherish a second life?

"Ren Yuan, after the Laba Festival, Jiangnan will become the holy land of martial arts!"
