Xu Qing was also silently assessing Fayue.
The Martial Monks under his command all had bulging temples, whereas Fayue's were not as obvious.
However, Xu Qing felt that Fayue's Martial Arts skills were very high.
Because bulging temples are a manifestation of abundant Qi-Blood, but some masters are able to refine their skills to conceal this Qi-Blood. Xu Qing heard from Guard Wang that the Great Zen Temple possessed a similar Withered Zen Skill, within which resided old monks who appeared like decayed wood but contained vitality within, as vigorous as young dragons and fierce tigers once they made a move.
But Xu Qing did not see this himself; rather, he concluded this from the reactions of the monks. They subconsciously regarded Fayue as the leader, not wholly due to rankings or status. It was more like an instinctive fear.
Yet, however high one's skills are, they would not withstand a strong bow and tough crossbow.
