One person: Became a disciple of Shaolin Temple and instantly learned 72 Shaolin skills.

The two walked through several mountain paths and arrived at a secluded courtyard.

Before even entering, I heard loud banging sounds coming from the courtyard, like something hitting something.

Wang Qing was filled with curiosity. Judging from the tone of his senior brother's voice, the person who wanted to take him as a disciple seemed to be an extraordinary figure.

"Come in." The senior brother who led the way pushed open the courtyard gate, turned around and greeted Wang Qing, then stepped into the courtyard.

Wang Qing quickly followed behind him. As soon as they entered, they saw a kind-looking old monk standing in the center of the courtyard. At the same time, not far away, a shirtless senior brother was constantly hitting the wooden stake used for training. The thumping sound was obviously the sound of him hitting the stake.

Looking at the old monk in front of him, Wang Qing felt that he looked somewhat familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

The senior disciple who led the way approached the old monk and said respectfully, "Master, this lad is Wang Qing."

"Hmm." The old monk nodded slightly, his clear gaze sweeping over Wang Qing.

Suddenly, Wang Qing felt as if someone had seen right through him.

But this feeling quickly disappeared, and before Wang Qing could react, the old monk spoke up, "This humble monk is Jiekong. Wang Qing, would you be willing to become my disciple?"

Upon hearing this familiar name, Wang Qing belatedly realized where the feeling of familiarity came from.

This old monk is none other than Master Jiekong, one of the Ten Elders and the abbot of Lingyin Temple. It is unexpected that Master Jiekong had not yet become the abbot of Lingyin Temple at this time.

So the senior brother who guided him must have been the monk Baowen.

Could the person practicing martial arts by striking the wooden stakes over there be Xiao Zizai, who is known for his great compassion?

Xiao Zi is a very popular character in the anime. He is a contradictory figure, and some netizens even commented that he is devoted to Buddhism but finds it difficult to attain enlightenment, and he is knowledgeable about Buddhist teachings but finds it difficult to control himself.

Wang Qing had originally planned to just find a random master to activate the system, but he never expected to be able to become a disciple of Master Jie Kong.

This is truly an unexpected delight. Being able to become one of the Ten Elders is enough to demonstrate Master Jiekong's strength. Without strength, one simply cannot hold onto the position of one of the Ten Elders.

I've really hit the jackpot by becoming an apprentice.

Seeing that Wang Qing seemed to be in a daze, Master Jiekong spoke up again, "What's wrong? You don't want to?"

Coming to his senses, Wang Qing quickly agreed, "This disciple is willing. It would be an honor for this disciple to become a disciple of Master."

As he spoke, Wang Qing immediately knelt down, wanting to kowtow to Master Jie Kong.

As soon as Master Jiekong raised his hand, Wang Qing felt an invisible force lifting him up, making it impossible for him to kneel down no matter what.

At the same time, Master Jiekong's voice came from beside me, "There's no need for kowtowing. I don't have such annoying rules here."

It's clear that Master Jiekong isn't the kind of person who follows the rules.

As Master Jiekong finished speaking, Wang Qing heard the system's pleasant voice.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully become an apprentice. The system has been activated, and you are rewarded with AFK space and AFK clone number one.]

[Ding! Congratulations on successfully becoming an apprentice! You are now able to sense your own innate Qi.]

Wang Qing was overjoyed; his system had finally been activated!

next second.

Wang Qing felt the Qi flowing within his body, which should be the innate Qi that the system was referring to.

However, although Wang Qing could sense this Qi, he was unable to mobilize it.

Wang Qing, who has watched Under One Person, knows this very well.

The specific reason is probably that they haven't learned the techniques yet, which is why they can't mobilize and gather this Qi.

People with extraordinary abilities are divided into those with innate abilities and those with acquired abilities.

Innate extraordinary individuals can sense and use their own Qi from birth, and such extraordinary individuals can be called geniuses. However, there is a drawback: once they become innate extraordinary individuals, they cannot cultivate acquired techniques and can only cultivate the extraordinary abilities they have comprehended.

The strength of a naturally gifted individual can only be determined by the strength of the power they comprehend.

Aside from those born with extraordinary abilities, those who need guidance to sense and utilize the Qi within their bodies are considered to have acquired extraordinary abilities.

This type of person actually makes up the vast majority.

Their Qi is cultivated and guided through practice, hence they are called "acquired extraordinary individuals".

At the same time, acquired extraordinary individuals have far fewer restrictions on their skills. They can choose the cultivation methods that suit them best based on their own differences, and they can also inherit any powerful cultivation methods.

Although Wang Qing can now sense the existence of Qi, he cannot yet be truly considered an extraordinary person.

Only those who have mastered the techniques and can successfully guide the Qi within their bodies can be considered extraordinary individuals. What Wang Qing lacks now is precisely the techniques.

Just as Wang Qing was immersed in the joy of sensing the Qi, Master Jiekong slowly said, "Wang Qing, now that you have become my disciple, it is natural that I should give you a Dharma name. Let me think about what Dharma name I should give you."

Master Jiekong pondered for a few seconds before continuing, "I've got it. From now on, your Dharma name will be Baochan."

“Yes, Master,” Wang Qinggang quickly replied.

Wang Qing didn't care much about his Buddhist name; it was just a title.

"Alright, alright, let me introduce you. This is your senior brother, Baowen." Master Jiekong pointed to the towering monk Baowen standing beside him.

"Junior Brother Baochan greets Senior Brother Baowen." Wang Qing immediately bowed to Baowen.

Seeing Wang Qing bow to him, Monk Baowen changed his previous attitude and smiled somewhat naively, saying, "Hehe, hello Junior Brother Baochan. You can come to your senior brother if you have any questions about life or cultivation in the future."

"Okay, thank you, senior brother."

"That one over there is your second senior brother, whose Dharma name is Baojing. I have taken you three as my disciples, and I hope you can get along well in the future," Master Jiekong said, pointing to Xiao Zizai who was practicing martial arts nearby.

"Yes, Master." Wang Qing nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Master Jiekong called out to Xiao Zizai in the distance, "Baojing, stop practicing for now and come over to see your junior brother Baochan."

"Yes, Master." Xiao Zizai, who was in the distance, replied and walked over after finishing his practice.

This was the first time Wang Qing had seen Xiao Zizai in his youth. At this time, Xiao Zizai was not wearing glasses yet, and he looked much younger.

Upon arriving before the group, Xiao Zizai first bowed to Jie Kong and Bao Wen before turning to Wang Qing, saying, "Greetings, Junior Brother Bao Chan."

"Greetings, Senior Brother." Wang Qing immediately bowed to Xiao Zizai.

"Then, Master, I'll go back to practice martial arts." After saying goodbye, Xiao Zizai couldn't wait to go back to practice.

“Your senior brother Bao Jing doesn’t have a problem with you. That’s just his personality. He’s like that with everyone. He doesn’t care about anything except practicing martial arts. Don’t take it to heart.” Bao Wen, who was standing next to Wang Qing, immediately explained.

I'm afraid it might create some distance between us.

"Oh, Senior Brother Baojing is really hardworking." Wang Qing looked thoughtful.

Bao Wen gave a somewhat awkward smile.

He naturally understood why Xiao Zizai acted this way.

Xiao Zi initially joined the Shaolin Temple hoping to suppress his murderous thoughts through Buddhism.

After taking Xiao Zizai under his wing, Jie Kong saw that Xiao Zizai had extraordinary talent and couldn't bear to let him waste it. So he went against everyone's advice and taught him martial arts. Fortunately, Xiao Zizai lived up to expectations and managed to suppress his murderous thoughts through martial arts training.

However, he also became a martial arts fanatic, spending all his time practicing martial arts and rarely caring about anything else.
