Chapter 71

The house is almost finished with the renovation, maybe we'll move to the new house next month. I hope moving to the new house will bring a new atmosphere. Then, please give me a recommendation vote.

......

In the United States, a private villa in Manhattan.

Fifteen elderly white people sat around a conference table, tasting delicious desserts while watching the images projected on the screen. The image was a sword, completely white, elaborately decorated. If Liu Menglong saw it, he would be amazed; this sword was precisely the Snake-Slaying Sword he had stored in his item space.

"This is a photo sent back by Jack and his team a few days ago," a silver-haired, blue-eyed old man stood up, controlling the changes in the image, showing all angles of the Snake-Slaying Sword, and said, "According to historical records from China, this sword is called the Snake-Slaying Sword, meaning 'the sword that slays the great serpent.' It was the sword of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty over two thousand years ago. After the fall of the Han Dynasty, the sword fell into the hands of the Jin Dynasty emperor, but it disappeared after a fire."

"A few months ago, Jack and his team accidentally discovered a cave in Tianfu, China. After several months of preparation, they entered the cave a few days ago and found the Snake-Slaying Sword. Of course, everyone knows their fate; Jack and his team were collectively killed, and the Snake-Slaying Sword disappeared again. Now, everyone can express their opinions. Should we continue to send people to retrieve the Snake-Slaying Sword?"

The fifteen people seated here would not be recognized by ordinary people and would not attract attention in a crowd. Only those who had reached a certain level would recognize them. They were the ultimate figures controlling the economy of the United States, and even directly influencing the political and military direction of the United States—the representatives of the fifteen top families in the United States.

After the introduction, another old man with black hair and brown eyes asked calmly, "What is the use of this sword?"

The silver-haired old man smiled slightly, "The Snake-Slaying Sword and the Heirloom Seal, the symbol of the Chinese imperial family, are both symbols of the Han Dynasty's royal authority. Over 90% of the Chinese population are Han people, and for two thousand years, both the Heirloom Seal and the Snake-Slaying Sword have been revered by the Han people, who believe that only those who possess these two items are the true heirs of China.

Currently, the Heirloom Seal is controlled by the Chinese imperial family, and we are powerless to do anything about it. However, obtaining the Snake-Slaying Sword is relatively easier. Although Jack's mission failed, it has given us hope, a great hope."

What is this hope? The silver-haired old man did not say, but there was no need to; everyone in the room understood.

"I see," the black-haired old man's eyes flashed with excitement, "As long as we obtain the Snake-Slaying Sword, a symbol of the Han Dynasty's royal authority, and spread this news discreetly and reasonably, the Chinese government will be both shocked and angry, and chaos will ensue among the Chinese people. At that time, we can launch a surprise attack on China."

"Even if we cannot severely weaken China, we must at least cripple it," another old man nodded with a smile, different from the others. Although he was also a white person, he had an East Asian face, indicating he was a mixed-race individual.

Hearing his words, the others smiled but said nothing. This mixed-race individual was the offspring of a wealthy Southeast Asian businessman who fled during China's unification of Southeast Asia. He later established himself in the United States and gradually developed into one of the top fifteen families in the United States. For him, China was the enemy that had destroyed his homeland, and now he was eager to strike a heavy blow against China.

"Then let's vote!" Seeing the favorable momentum, the silver-haired old man smiled and said, "Those who agree to search for the Snake-Slaying Sword, please raise your hands."

In the next moment, everyone raised their hands.

......

The greatest advantage of being a physical education teacher is that you don't have to get up early like other teachers to go to school. As everyone who has been to school knows, physical education classes are usually scheduled for the third period in the morning, so it's useless for a PE teacher to arrive early. This provided Liu Menglong with a lot of convenience.

On September 1st, the official opening day of Tianfu No. 3 Middle School, Liu Menglong did not go to school. He first went to the construction site and worked for over an hour. Seeing that the time was almost up, he washed his face, changed his clothes, and drove straight to the school.

The third period in the morning was the PE class for Class 1, Grade 2, and the fourth period was for Class 3, Grade 2.

During the third period, Liu Menglong stood on the playground, looking at these junior high school students he had been with for a year, his face showing a hint of reluctance. He was about to leave, and it would be difficult to see these students again. Thinking about it, he really felt reluctant.

"Today, I will teach you a set of boxing techniques!" Standing in front of over seventy students, Liu Menglong spread his legs and placed his hands behind his back, speaking solemnly, "We are all from Tianfu. The powerful Tianfu army once shocked the world and was known as the world's first dare-to-die corps. Although we now live in peace, we cannot forget our traditions. I can't control the cultural classes, but in PE class, you must all be alert and learn well! Of course, if anyone thinks they know martial arts, they can choose not to learn and go play basketball, soccer, or anything else!"

After saying this, Liu Menglong asked, "Is there anyone who doesn't want to learn?"

No one spoke up.

Liu Menglong smiled slightly and said, "Good, since everyone wants to learn, pay attention. Today, I will teach you the Baguazhang."

Liu Menglong did not know pure martial arts; his Baguazhang was just a performance routine. In a real fight, he would be beaten up, but for these junior high school students, learning a set of boxing techniques was already good, much better than the clumsy punches.

Baguazhang, also known as Youshen Baguazhang or Bagua Lianhuan Zhang, is a martial art primarily characterized by palm changes and walking movements. It is widely spread and currently has five major schools. Liu Menglong's Baguazhang belongs to the Xingyi Baguazhang, which was taught to him by Uncle Guan for self-defense. Originally, it was very powerful, but Liu Menglong did not learn it well from a young age, only mastering the performance routine. Otherwise, he would not have taught it to these half-grown kids.

Liu Menglong set his stance and began to demonstrate the Baguazhang. Perhaps due to his high intelligence of 163 points, this time Liu Menglong entered a wonderful state as he performed the Xingyi Baguazhang, feeling the perfect points of power and release in each move, and gradually achieving perfect control over every bone and muscle in his body.

At first, it was just a performance routine, but in the end, his foot stomped the ground, causing a continuous rumble, and his punch broke the air, his body spinning like a tornado, his movements producing the sounds of tigers, leopards, and thunder.

For a moment, the area around Liu Menglong was filled with flying sand and swirling winds, exuding a solemn and fierce atmosphere. The students were stunned and frightened.

When he got excited, Liu Menglong shouted and stomped the ground. Without any visible effort, he left a deep footprint and a long crack in the ground. The students were immediately amazed.

The ground under Liu Menglong's feet was made of asphalt concrete, and even a heavy iron hammer might not create a dent, but Liu Menglong's foot left a five-centimeter deep footprint and a nearly meter-long crack. It was like a monster, and the eyes of these half-grown boys and girls were filled with admiration and enthusiasm.

At the same time, a long-absent voice echoed in Liu Menglong's mind: "Triggered life profession—Martial Artist. The host is currently a初级 Martial Artist, Strength +5, Speed +5, True Qi +5, Intelligence +5."

Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!

Liu Menglong was almost ecstatic. All four attributes increased by 5, which was like leveling up. What a powerful Martial Artist, what a great profession!

Just as Liu Menglong was about to check, the kids excitedly ran over and crowded around him.

"Mr. Liu, you're so strong! I declare that from today, you will be my lifelong idol." This was a boy who loved following stars.

"Mr. Liu, the Baguazhang is so powerful! Teach me! Teach me quickly! I want to be like Kung Fu Panda and fight for justice, killing all the bad guys in the world!" This was a boy who loved to fantasize.

"Mr. Liu, you're so cool! I admire you so much! Please date me." Well, this was an early-maturing girl.

"Mr. Liu, what about the ground? Will you have to pay for it?" This was a boy who was very concerned about the aftermath.

"Don't worry, no matter how much it costs, I'll pay for it for Mr. Liu." A slender, well-developed girl winked at Liu Menglong, "I just want Mr. Liu to take me as a disciple."

"Holy shit! Mr. Liu, me too!"

"Mr. Liu, I want to be your personal disciple too!"

These kids! Liu Menglong was drenched in cold sweat.
