Rebirth in Another World: The Ultimate Legend

Ouyang Kuishan sat in the center of the Black Wolf Gang's hall, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest as he listened to his subordinates report on the newly incorporated areas and properties under the gang's control. He narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of joy gradually appearing in them.

The subordinate recounted the events fluently, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat, as if afraid of missing any important details. Soon after, he finished reporting everything and stood respectfully to the side, awaiting Ouyang Kuishan's instructions.

Ouyang Kuishan waved his hand and said, "Alright, that's all. You can go now."

"Yes, boss." The subordinate replied and retreated as if he had been granted a pardon.

Not long after his subordinate left the hall, Ouyang Kuishan seemed to be talking to himself, saying, "I've already annexed the two cities surrounding Nightfall City, Qingsha City and Qingmu City. At this rate, it won't be long before I, Ouyang Kuishan, am incredibly wealthy. Add to that the capable helpers I've recruited in recent years, and that one thing will be accomplished very quickly. And when that happens, killing Lin Yu and his group will be a piece of cake. The plan is being implemented step by step. Anyone who tries to stop me now, I'll kill them! Hmph, I'll kill anyone who gets in my way, even the Buddha!" ​​Ouyang Kuishan laughed wildly, his laughter echoing in the hall, filled with arrogance and conceit.

Just then, a cold voice rang out: "You've gotten too cocky, Ouyang Kuishan."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Kuishan's laughter abruptly stopped. He coldly snorted, "Qingli, I spared your life and agreed to your conditions, allowing you to come to the Black Wolf Gang alone to talk to me. I didn't do this so you could pour cold water on me. Now tell me what kind of secret technique you're talking about!"

"Alright, that's exactly what I was thinking," the indifferent voice said calmly.

At that moment, a door opened from a hidden compartment in the hall, and a graceful woman in a light blue gauze dress emerged. She had a beautiful face, arched eyebrows, and eyes like autumn water; every movement she made exuded an indescribable elegance. She walked slowly to the center of the hall with delicate steps.

Who is this person? It is none other than Qingli, the head of Qingsi Courtyard, who also ran Qingsi Courtyard with Xiaojinzhi back then.

What happened? Well, after Xiao Jinzhi was rescued from the Black Wolf Gang by Lin Yu and others, Ouyang Kuishan was furious and led a group of his men into Qing Si Courtyard, intending to kill everyone in the courtyard to vent his anger.

Just as Ouyang Kuishan was about to order his men to take action, Qingli stepped forward and said, "Stop! If you are willing to spare everyone in my Qingsi Courtyard, I will tell you a legendary secret technique."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Kuishan surprisingly did not order his men to act. Qingli walked up to Ouyang Kuishan and said mysteriously, "Ouyang Kuishan, do you know of a legendary, exceptionally powerful secret technique?"

Ouyang Kuishan was taken aback when he heard this, and said, "Tell me about it." His voice was cold, but with a hint of curiosity.

"This matter is of great importance, and there are too many people around. Why don't you have your men leave so we can talk privately?" Qingli said, neither humble nor arrogant.

Ouyang Kuishan hesitated, and Qingli chuckled softly, saying calmly, "What's wrong? The famous Ouyang Kuishan, the leader of the Black Wolf Gang, would you be afraid to be alone with a weak woman like me?"

"Hmph, I'd rather be careful. You're not a simple woman. Here's what we'll do: Since we're talking about business, then come back to the Black Wolf Gang with me obediently. That'll show you sincerity. Otherwise, if you just make up some legend, I'll fall for your trick," Ouyang Kuishan said with a sinister look.

"Alright, I can go back to the Black Wolf Gang with you, but you must agree to one condition," Qingli said with a light breath.

"Tell me your conditions," Ouyang Kuishan said with a sly glint in his eyes. "While I'm with you back to the Black Wolf Gang, you must order your men not to set foot in Qing Si Courtyard, and even more so, not to harm the servants there." Qing Li said resolutely.

"Fine! I promise you," Ouyang Kuishan said with a long sigh.

Soon after, Ouyang Kuishan and Qingli arrived at the Black Wolf Gang. Coincidentally, one of his subordinates saw that Ouyang Kuishan had returned to the gang and reported to him on the gang's newly acquired industries and territories. During this time, fearing that Qingli might overhear some of the gang's secrets, Ouyang Kuishan asked Qingli to wait in a secret compartment in the main hall.

Because Qingli had been waiting in the secret compartment for too long, she felt somewhat annoyed. "Therefore, after hearing Ouyang Kuishan order his men to leave, he laughed unrestrainedly alone in the hall." Qingli felt even more depressed, which led to the scene at the beginning.

"Tell me, what secret technique is it?" Ouyang Kuishan said impatiently.

"Oh, Chief Ouyang is still so impatient. Alright, I'll tell you." Qingli chuckled and said, "This secret technique is actually a body-training method called the Scale Armor Technique. This technique is divided into seven levels. With each level of advancement, the practitioner's strength will increase by one point, and as the technique progresses, the practitioner's physique will become stronger and stronger. When the technique is mastered to a high level, even the most powerful swords and blades will have difficulty harming the practitioner, and the strength will also increase with each level of advancement."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Kuishan's initial disdain gradually turned into delight. His eyes gleamed with greed as he eagerly asked, "So how do I practice this technique? Since you've said it's a legendary secret art, the conditions for cultivating it must be very demanding, right?"

Qingli gently tucked her hair behind her ear, let out a soft breath, and said, "What might be extremely difficult for others is nothing to you, Ouyang Kuishan."

"Then tell me what conditions are needed to cultivate this skill. My patience is limited," Ouyang Kuishan said gloomily.

"Actually, it's not difficult. Cultivating the Scale Armor Technique requires a large amount of herbs to strengthen muscles and bones and replenish qi and blood. Because when practicing the Scale Armor Technique, the practitioner has to endure tremendous pain and has to regularly tap all the bones in their body every day. Moreover, the more they practice, the more intense this inhuman torture becomes. Such a domineering cultivation method naturally requires a large amount of these herbs, and the cost is also very high. For ordinary people, this expense alone would be enough to deter them. But for the current Chief Ouyang, these expenses are negligible."

Hearing this, Ouyang Kuishan fell into deep thought, weighing the pros and cons in his mind. On one hand, this Scale Armor Technique sounded incredibly powerful; if he succeeded in mastering it, his strength would undoubtedly increase significantly. On the other hand, the vast resources required for cultivation were not insignificant, but then he considered the gang's current assets and the combined wealth of the two nearby cities, and felt that the cost of training was not a big deal.

"Alright!" Ouyang Kuishan exclaimed. "Qingli, now pass on the secret technique to me! Tomorrow I will arrange for my men to collect the medicinal herbs needed for the practice," Ouyang Kuishan said in an unquestionable tone.

Qingli hesitated for a moment, but after seeing Ouyang Kuishan's fierce eyes, she handed over a manual with the three large black characters "Scale Armor Technique" written on the cover to Ouyang Kuishan.

After obtaining the manual, Ouyang Kuishan was overjoyed. He couldn't wait to look at its contents. His face initially turned pale, but then he gradually became excited. "Good, good, good! It truly lives up to its reputation as a legendary secret technique. Someone, arrange a place for Miss Qingli to stay!" Ouyang Kuishan said with great delight, seemingly in a good mood.

Upon hearing this, Qingli said with a gloomy expression, "Ouyang Kuishan, you've got your wish. Now that you've obtained the secret manual, why won't you let me leave? Why keep me here instead?"

"Qingli, don't misunderstand. Now that I have the manual, I will naturally let you return to your Qingsi Courtyard. However, in order to verify the authenticity of this manual, I need to wait until I have mastered the first one or two levels of this technique before I can fully believe that this manual is real. Only then can I let you leave," Ouyang Kuishan said with a cunning look on his face.

You! Qingli's face was full of anger.

"Alright, Miss Qingli, go and rest! You must be tired after your journey, right?" Ouyang Kuishan said with a teasing expression.

Afterwards, Ouyang Kuishan instructed his men to collect the medicinal herbs needed for his training...
