Martial Arts Livestreaming

November 24, Wu Li arrived in Vancouver.

The Huaqing Gang held a banquet in a downtown restaurant, and Wu Li went alone.

At the banquet, the high-ranking members of the Huaqing Gang welcomed Wu Li warmly, but nobody mentioned "Le Yuan"; they just chatted idly with Wu Li.

Wu Li was in no hurry, and he enjoyed chatting and laughing with the group.

Li Xianwen, the current leader of the Huaqing Gang, said to Wu Li with a smile, "Master Wu, everyone has witnessed your remarkable Kung Fu skills. Just recently, you single-handedly killed three assassins from the top ten of the Killer List and one Dark Clown—an awe-inspiring feat!"

"Leader Li is too kind," Wu Li responded with a smile.

"It is you, Master Wu, who is being humble. Now, in the entire Chinese Martial Arts World, who doesn't know that you are the World's No.1 master?"

After speaking, Li Xianwen turned to a young man standing by and said, "Bring that jar of Magic Wine!"

"Yes."

The young man turned and exited the room, while everyone else fell silent.

Soon, the young man returned with both hands cradling a jar of wine, carefully placing it on the table.

"Master Wu, this jar of Magic Wine was brewed by my master before his death, and it has been twenty-three years since then."

Li Xianwen pointed at the jar on the table and continued, "My master died in an accident, and after his death, nobody in the Huaqing Gang knew how to brew Magic Wine anymore; therefore, this jar has become our last jar of Magic Wine!"

Magic Wine, as mentioned in the "Records of the Grand Historian: Liu Jing and Shusun Tong," symbolizes nobility and a pristine nature.

"Magic Wine soothes the spirit; the clear zither touches the soul," Wu Li also knew this poem, so he understood that Li Xianwen was paying him great respect by offering this last jar of Magic Wine.

"Leader Li, there's no need to be so formal. Since this wine is the last jar your master left, perhaps it should continue to be treasured," said Wu Li to Li Xianwen.

Li Xianwen shook his head. "No, today, as we of the Huaqing Gang host the World's No.1 master, it is the perfect time to open this jar! If my master knew that his brew was enjoyed by the World's No.1 master, he would be very pleased."

With the conversation reaching this point, it was no longer appropriate for Wu Li to decline, so after expressing his thanks, Li Xianwen personally opened the jar of Magic Wine that had been treasured for twenty-three years.

As soon as it was opened, a faint fragrance of wine permeated the room, causing everyone to inadvertently take a deep breath, their faces showing enraptured expressions.

A delicately carved jade wine cup was placed in front of Wu Li; Li Xianwen poured the wine into the cup and then gestured to Wu Li, "Master Wu, please!"

The others watched Wu Li, who, following protocol, should drink the first cup as the most honored guest, followed by everyone drinking together.

"Alright!"

Wu Li, unreservedly, picked up the wine cup with his right hand and drained it in one gulp.

The moment the wine touched his throat, a rich aroma filled his mouth, causing him to involuntarily close his eyes to savor the taste.

However, just as Wu Li closed his eyes to appreciate the wine, a low-profile old man at the table suddenly moved.

He was known as the 'King of Hidden Weapons,' Uncle Jian!

Uncle Jian's expertise in hidden weapons meant he couldn't confront Wu Li directly because the effectiveness of hidden weapons halved when the target was on guard, especially for a master like Wu Li. If he was prepared, no one in the world could harm him with a hidden weapon!

Therefore, the Huaqing Gang had specifically arranged this plot today, starting from not discussing serious matters with Wu Li, continuously flattering him to let his guard down, until Li Xianwen brought out the Magic Wine and put Wu Li on a pedestal with the utmost of ceremonies!

Under such circumstances, it was challenging for anyone to stay vigilant, giving Uncle Jian, the 'King of Hidden Weapons,' an opportunity to strike.

He chose the moment Wu Li was savoring the wine, a moment when Wu Li's attention was almost entirely captivated by the taste in his mouth.

Uncle Jian's eyebrows and eyes were lowered; he did not look at Wu Li but stared at the tabletop. At the same time, a slender silver needle suddenly appeared in his right hand, which he held between his thumb and index finger. His arm remained perfectly still as his thumb and index finger rubbed the needle vigorously!

Beng!

That was the sound of Uncle Jian's fingers and arm's Muscle Bone Power being activated, similar to a bowstring being pulled.

He had practiced with Hidden Weapons his whole life, and the Muscle Bone Power in his fingers and arms was the strongest. At that moment, with full power bursting forth, the speed within a meter could almost match that of a bullet!

Furthermore, the motion of rubbing the needle was very subtle and discreet. Even if someone were standing face-to-face with him, it would be hard to notice his movement. One could be struck without realizing it.

"Hmm?"

Just as the silver needle in Uncle Jian's hand was about to shoot out, Wu Li suddenly felt a faint sense of unease.

Having had prior experience, Wu Li knew this was Void at work. Without any hesitation, he instantly powered his feet to dodge.

Shua!

Wu Li dodged the flying needle aimed at his chest by moving sideways.

Uncle Jian did not look up. As Wu Li moved, Uncle Jian pinched another silver needle in each hand and vigorously rubbed them!

Zhi—

A sharp, piercing whine rang out, the sound of specially made silver needles flying through the air.

Uncle Jian first shot a specially made silver needle at Wu Li and then, just 0.1 seconds later, fired the second needle.

The sharp piercing sound of the first needle masked the sound of the second needle flying. Moreover, the first needle had a clear intent to kill, while the second was almost undetectable, making it difficult to sense.

A needle hidden within a needle!

With this single move, Uncle Jian truly deserved the title of King of Hidden Weapons!

Unfortunately, he was up against the World's No.1. With Wu Li on guard, these tactics were meaningless.

After moving sideways, Wu Li took an even faster step back, dodging both needles shot by Uncle Jian!

However, one of the needles suddenly changed direction as it was about to pass Wu Li, aiming for his chest!

"Eh?"

Wu Li was slightly surprised. He knew this wasn't any magic manipulation of objects through the air but rather the needle's user employing a special technique upon release that made the silver needle spiral out and then suddenly change direction in mid-flight, much like a "Spinning Ball."

This move of rubbing the needle arguably encompassed Uncle Jian's, the King of Hidden Weapons, most exquisite lifetime techniques!

However, the next second, Uncle Jian abruptly looked up.

He saw Wu Li already turned around, facing the wine table, his right hand holding a wine cup, his left pinching a silver needle.

Uncle Jian stared intently at Wu Li, eventually taking a long breath and standing up. He clasped his hands towards Wu Li and said, "You truly are the World's No.1, admirable! My apologies for any offense earlier; I hope you understand."

Li Xianhua and others were only just reacting at this point, their eyes turning towards the silver needle in Wu Li's hand.

Wu Li's series of movements had been too fast: everyone only saw a blur, and suddenly Wu Li had a needle in his hand. Almost no one had seen clearly how Wu Li had dodged or how he turned back, much less how many needles Wu Li had avoided from Uncle Jian.

Wu Li looked at Uncle Jian, knowing that his opponent had not aimed at his vital points in several attempts, so he understood that this was the Huaqing Gang's test for him tonight.

Placing the silver needle on the table, Wu Li looked at Uncle Jian and said, "Nice Hidden Weapon!"

Then, placing the wine cup on the table, Wu Li turned to Li Xianwen and smiled:

"Nice wine!"
