Through Li Huamei's narration, Lin Fan also has a relatively clear understanding of the level of force in the world of great navigation.

If you just talk about the individual strength of creatures, of course, it must be the most powerful in the Great Navigation World, and the knight-level powerhouse in the riding and slashing world is at most at the same level as the martial arts master, but the development direction of the two choices is different, the riding and slashing world takes the road of breaking through the physical limit, while the Great Navigation World takes the road of practicing qi.

In terms of strength and potential, in fact, both have their own strengths, but in terms of subtlety and changeability, of course, it must be the internal strength that is superior, after all, the knight training secret method is not long, and it may damage the body, but the internal strength has the subtlety of nourishing the body, so most of the knights are early death ghosts, while the master of internal strength can live a long life.

Of course, the method of practicing qi is not necessarily safer than the knight's training secret method, if there is no correct exercise, as well as the teaching of a famous teacher, if you accidentally practice the wrong method, it is also very likely to kill people.

However, there is another point that is extremely different, that is, the strength of the knight's level, most knights are equivalent to the masters of internal strength, but above the masters of internal strength, there are also peerless masters who have opened up the Twelve Classics and constituted the small cycle of Zhou Tian, and their strength is much stronger than that of ordinary knights.

After all, whether or not the Twelve Meridians have been opened, whether there is a small circulation of Zhou Tian, and whether there is a complete Qi Conduction Return on this basis, there is an absolute difference, and the gap between the two sides is simply like the level gap between knights and regular soldiers, and it is almost impossible to easily surpass.

Even if it is a top-level knight training secret method with nine patterns, it may not be able to surpass the realm of a peerless master when cultivated to the limit, after all, through the legend of a certain eagle hero, the so-called five uniques in the world, before cracking the secret of the Nine Yin True Scripture, is just a peerless master who has opened up the Twelve Classics.

Of course, the same martial arts masters who have opened up the Twelve Classics, the strength of each other is also high and low, and those who have just been promoted can only be regarded as top masters, at most forming a small cycle of Zhou Tian, and on top of this, there is also the top master who completes the Qi Guiyuan, that is, the top master who transfers the internal force to the Qi Dantian, and above the top master, there is also an extremely deep accumulation of internal force, and it can be called a peerless master when it reaches a strong enough degree.

From this, you can imagine and compare how powerful the so-called peerless masters are.

There are forces with top-level exercises, even if it is the entire Ming Dynasty several times, there are not many in total, among which the royal family must have it, in addition to Wudang Shaolin, this is the martial arts master, the most powerful top sect, naturally there are also them, and in addition to this, there are only a few first-class martial arts forces scattered around.

As for the Li family, it actually has an extremely deep relationship with Southern Shaolin, and their family's status is very special and important, so they can have such a strong background, so the power of the Li family is actually faintly related to Southern Shaolin.

This can be traced back to the origin of the Li family, the ancestor of the Li family was actually a warrior monk of Southern Shaolin, who studied art in Southern Shaolin since he was a child, and his common name was Li Hu.

At that time, it was the time when the Japanese invaded the southeast coastal area, and the local people were simply miserable, and they suffered greatly from the invasion of the Japanese invaders.

It's just that no matter how strong the strength of Southern Shaolin is, it can only be regarded as a civil martial arts organization, and it is still slightly inferior to the transnational criminal organization group such as the Japanese Invaders in some aspects, so it has not been able to expel the Japanese Invaders overseas.

But fortunately, at this time, the Ming Dynasty sent a shrewd and capable general to crusade against the Japanese Kou, and this great hero general was the famous Qi Jiguang.

In order to eliminate the trouble of the Japanese in the coastal area, Nan Shaolin naturally did his best to show his support and supported a large number of warrior monks as soldiers, and the ancestors of the Li family were still vulgar at that time, and then entered the army under General Qi Jiguang.

The ancestors of the Li family hated the Japanese who violated their fathers and villagers, and they fought bravely every time, coupled with their strong martial arts, and finally made a lot of contributions, and were valued and appreciated by General Qi Jiguang, and soon became a partial general by virtue of his military merits, and finally became a descendant of Qi Jiguang.

Needless to say, there was no need to say much about the later things, when more than 50,000 Japanese were strangled, Qi Jiguang finally temporarily pacified the troubles of the Japanese invaders, and the court was afraid that Qi Jiguang would continue to let go out, and there would be a disaster of raising the Japanese and self-respecting, so as soon as the Japanese were driven away, the imperial court recalled Qi Jiguang.

However, Qi Jiguang did not leave a back hand, as his descendant, Li Hu was the hole card he left, and finally Qi Jiguang handed over all the only subordinates to Li Hu, and later tried to promote Li Hu to the position of admiral of the navy, in order to let the Li family inherit his will and continue to resist the Japanese to protect the safety of the sea and frontier.

And the Li family naturally did not disappoint Qi Jiguang, for so many years, no matter how powerful the Japanese invaders were, and how strong the containment and pressure they suffered around them, they still tried their best to protect their hometown, and they never let the Japanese curry favor with them, and the two sides simply became feuds.

And the power of the Li family, because of its particularity, in the martial arts, they are closely related to Southern Shaolin, and in the imperial court, they and the martial arts faction left by Qi Jiguang back then, in fact, have always been closely linked, this is really black and white, if it weren't for someone above, how could the Li family still have the strength to form such a huge private navigation force.

"Tiger Roaring Heavenly Gong", as the Li family's heirloom exercise, is actually from Southern Shaolin's "Descending the Dragon and Subduing the Tiger Divine Skill", which was adapted by several Southern Shaolin's enlightened monks, each of whom is a top martial arts master, almost all of them are tailor-made for the Li family, and are most suitable for hot-blooded men to practice.

The reason why it is necessary to carry out the transformation is not that Nan Shaolin is stingy and reluctant to do his own magic. It is the Buddhist exercises, which all need to comprehend the corresponding Buddhism in order to practice, and since the Li family has returned to the world, then this kind of exercise is obviously no longer suitable, so the masters of Southern Shaolin deliberately spent a lot of effort to save the essence and help the Li family tailor this inheritance exercise.

After all, Nan Shaolin and Qi Jiguang were just a cooperative relationship at the beginning, but Li Hu was their descendant of Nan Shaolin, so the Li family was actually the official force supported by Nan Shaolin, and of course his own family was the most reliable, so Nan Shaolin would have invested so much in the first place.

After all, the imperial court is actually very vigilant about the martial arts forces, and a high-ranking military general like Li Hu who was born in the martial arts force is an extremely rare case, if it weren't for Qi Jiguang's forced pressure from the Japanese to be promoted, it would be impossible for Nan Shaolin to establish direct contact with such a high-end official force.
