Ling Chen looked at Du Kang in surprise, not understanding why he would say that.
"Master Du, did you know Ji Gang before?"
Du Kang nodded and said, "Back in the days when I was young, I traveled to learn from various esteemed masters. When I went to visit a reclusive expert, I found someone kneeling at the doorstep; it was Ji Gang. Ji Gang hoped that the reclusive expert would take him as a disciple and teach him advanced Martial Arts. But the reclusive expert was unwilling as he felt Ji Gang's temperament was unsuitable for inheriting his Martial Arts. Ji Gang, however, was not someone who gave up easily; he knelt outside the reclusive expert's door without eating or drinking for ten full days, eventually fainting from exhaustion."
