Holy body, start with the Five Animal Exercises

59: Who agrees with me being the Fourth Master? Who opposes? (Please read it again, gentlemen!)Hmm?

Lu Xuanwu looked at Zhang Lin with some surprise. Before he could say anything, Nie Dongsheng, who was beside him, couldn’t sit still and stood up with a ’thump’.

”Bastard! What nonsense are you spouting?! The matter of the Hall Master is no small thing! How can you treat it as child’s play here?!”

He glared, his eyes burning with anger.

He had long planned that as long as Zhang Lin took the position, the entire Fourth Hall would still be under his control!

At that time... Hmph!

”As far as I know, you and Qin Jiang are not acquainted. How did you have the opportunity to exchange Martial arts? Are you trying to deceive us?!” he roared.

Zhang Lin’s expression was calm, ”Elder Nie is joking. Even if I had ten times the courage, I wouldn’t dare to deceive you all.”

Nie Dongsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly. In his eyes, Zhang Lin had always been a soft persimmon that could be easily manipulated.

But at this moment, he realized that this wasn’t a soft persimmon at all, but clearly a scheming person like a venomous snake.

”I wouldn’t expect you to dare! However, the position of Hall Master is not for you to decide. If we don’t witness Qin Jiang’s strength, it wouldn’t be right.”

”Alright, Elder Nie, calm down for a moment,” Lu Xuanwu interjected.

Nie Dongsheng looked at him, then slowly sat down after two seconds of silence.

Lu Xuanwu looked at Zhang Lin, and then at Qin Jiang, who looked bored.

He didn’t know when Qin Jiang and Zhang Lin had exchanged Martial arts, but he didn’t pay too much attention to it.

After all, ever since Qin Jiang mastered Red Tiger Fist, the position of Hall Master of the merged Fourth Hall was meant for Qin Jiang.

”Since Zhang Lin has already decided, there’s nothing more to dispute. I announce that the new Fourth Master--”

”Bang!”

”I disagree!”

Nie Dongsheng slammed his seat and stood up directly.

If Qin Jiang became the Fourth Hall Master, how could he still enjoy himself as he did now?

Not to mention, he had other, more important matters!

”Leader, I disagree. Even if Zhang Lin concedes, how long has Qin Jiang been with the Red Tiger Gang? Can he command respect? Can he manage the Fourth Hall well?

What if something goes wrong? How should it be handled? We can’t just say he’s too green at that time, can we?”

”Old man! What do you mean by that?! You just want to hog the Fourth Hall, don’t you?!”

Elder Chen stood up directly and confronted Nie Dongsheng. Their gazes met, almost sparking.

Lu Xuanwu looked at Nie Dongsheng, picked up his teacup, and took a light sip.

He, of course, knew that Nie Dongsheng was acting this way because of Wang Minglang. ”Then, according to Elder Nie, what should we do?”

Nie Dongsheng glared fiercely at Elder Chen, then looked at Lu Xuanwu, ”Naturally, this Elder will temporarily oversee the Fourth Hall. Let him get familiar with the Deacon position for some time, and then we can discuss the ownership of the Hall Master position.”

”Heh! I’m afraid ’familiar for some time’ means until you die,” Elder Chen said unceremoniously.

”Do you want to have a match with me?!”

”Come on! Do you really think this old man is afraid of a sneak-attacking rat like you?! If I cripple you today, it’ll be revenge for Old Wang!”

”Just with you?!”

”Just with me!”

Tap, tap.

Lu Xuanwu lightly tapped the table, ”Both Elders, please calm down.”

He looked at Qin Jiang, ”Qin Jiang, what do you think?”

Qin Jiang shook his head slightly upon hearing this, ”It’s too much trouble. How about we just fight? Whoever wins decides.”

Elder Chen was stunned, then turned to look at him, ”No, you...”

I’m kindly helping you, and you’re actually asking me, an old man, to fight this old geezer to the death? Is there really no integrity left in people’s hearts?

Nie Dongsheng’s lips curled in disdain, ”Hmph, how interesting. You’re really good at judging people!”

Not only them, but the other Hall Masters also looked at Qin Jiang with some disgust. Even Zhang Lin was somewhat taken aback.

Qin Jiang was slightly stunned, then reacted, laughing, ”Misunderstanding. It’s my fault. What I meant was, I’ll have a match with Elder Nie, and I believe Elder Nie will then shut up.”

Hmm?

As his words fell, even Sun Qianzhao opened his eyes and looked at the young man.

He had some courage, but it remained to be seen if he had matching strength.

”Bastard! What is your status?! A mere Deacon, how dare you with this Elder--”

”Boom--!”

Before he could finish speaking, a dense black Evil Qi suddenly exploded, engulfing the entire hall.

In an instant, everyone felt a chill surge from their backs to their necks, as if they were being stared at by a ferocious tiger.

The intense killing intent left Nie Dongsheng no time to think, and he instinctively retaliated against the owner of this Evil Qi.

Bang--!

With a muffled thud, Nie Dongsheng’s figure flew backward, directly smashing the chair he had just been sitting on.

”Pfft!”

He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, looking at Qin Jiang in disbelief, raising his hand and trembling as he pointed at him, ”You... you!”

Blood clots accumulated in his chest, blocking his vocal cords and making him unable to speak.

Whoosh--!

Qin Jiang’s figure appeared before him the next moment, stepping on his left thigh.

Crack!

”Ah--!”

Accompanying the sound of a broken leg bone, Nie Dongsheng let out a tragic wail.

”You! You--”

With a ’bang’, Qin Jiang stomped on his head again, directly crushing it to the ground, even cracking the floor.

”Alright, Fourth Master, stop now.”

Lu Xuanwu’s figure appeared beside him, his body pushing through the Evil Qi, and his palm gently placed on Qin Jiang’s arm.

Qin Jiang glanced at Lu Xuanwu, nodded slightly, and lifted his foot to break Nie Dongsheng’s other thigh.

Lu Xuanwu’s expression changed slightly, but seeing that Qin Jiang did nothing further, he sighed, ”Why did you have to do this?”

Qin Jiang smiled indifferently, tightened his fox fur cloak, and walked directly to the seat belonging to the Fourth Hall Master and sat down.

”I will be the Fourth Master. Who approves, who opposes?”

As his words fell, the surging Evil Qi in the hall also faded and disappeared.

The other three Hall Masters sat rigidly in their chairs, their bodies ramrod straight.

Elder Chen also stared at Qin Jiang with wide eyes, his gaze containing panic, shock, and more than anything, suspicion.

Only Sun Qianzhao remained calmly seated in his chair, though a hint of apprehension flickered in his eyes.

Such dense Evil Qi was unprecedented; even the Leader didn’t possess such heavy Evil Qi. He truly wondered how this young man had cultivated it.

Moreover, this black Evil Qi was clearly the mark of the fourth level of Red Tiger Fist!

Nie Dongsheng had been diligently practicing the third level of Red Tiger Fist for a long time. To defeat him so easily, it could only be the fourth level of Red Tiger Fist!

Perhaps, this young man was not much weaker than himself.

If the Leader were to step down someday, he might be a formidable opponent.

Lu Xuanwu waved his hand, and several gang members walked in.

”Take Elder Nie down and take good care of him.”

Afterward, he returned to his seat at the head of the table, picked up his teacup, took a light sip, and exhaled a puff of hot air.

”Since there are no objections, this old man announces the new Fourth Master, Qin Jiang.”

”Boss! You really broke Elder Nie’s leg?!”

Outside the main headquarters, Meng An exclaimed in shock, then quickly covered his mouth, cautiously looking around.

After confirming that no one was paying attention to him, he looked at Qin Jiang.

Qin Jiang smiled slightly, ”He asked for it, so of course, I had to grant his wish. It’s always hard to refuse an old man’s wishes.”

Meng An nodded heavily in agreement, ”Who says not? If you ask me, we should ask for a thank-you gift tomorrow! Otherwise, people will think we’re not worth anything!”

Qin Jiang was stunned upon hearing this, looked at Meng An, and then suddenly laughed, ”You’re right, we should collect some thank-you gifts.”

”Oh, right, Boss, Lao Tian is back. This guy, I don’t know what he’s been up to these past few days, he’s covered in dirt,” Meng An said.

”Lao Tian is back?” Qin Jiang asked in surprise, ”Quick! Let’s go! Back!”
