Chapter 218: Chapter 141: There is Such a Martial Art in the World?_2

Translator: 549690339

The crowd of martial arts scholars was puzzled. Hearing about iron bones, copper bones, and golden bones was confusing. The more they listened, the more unrealistic it sounded.

Their doubtful gaze fell on Xu Yan. Could it be that this young man was deluded by some concocted theories?

Fu Yuntian’s face became one of sheer bewilderment.

“You may continue!”

A martial arts scholar forced his curiosity aside and said.

“Following the refinement of bones, one refines the organs…When muscles and bones thunder, and blood and qi flow vigorously, it signifies the Blood and Qi Realm…When the Heaven-Earth bridge is connected, swallowing and exhaling the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth, refining it into Innate True Qi, it signifies the Innate Realm!”

Xu Yan finished expounding on martial arts.

All of the martial arts disciples had widened their eyes, speechless in surprise.

“Is this something conjured up by your imagination?”

A martial arts scholar couldn’t hold back and blurted out.

This is absolutely strange. It talks about muscles and bones thundering, qi and blood flowing vigorously, the connection of Heaven-Earth Bridge, and the inhalation and exhalation of nature’s spiritual energy.

Blood and Qi Realm, Innate Realm?

Where in martial arts do these realms exist?

“How could it be made up?”

Xu Yan looked at everyone present with a knowing gaze and extended his arm, “Look at my arm, swords and sabres can’t harm it.”

“Impossible, what you’re saying is entirely unrealistic.”

A martial arts scholar shook his head.

If what Xu Yan was describing was the true existence of martial arts, then what in the world did their own martial arts practice amount to?

The comparison made their own practices seem so weak.

Whether in terms of complexity or naming, they seemed streets behind.

“Come, let us discuss and test whether what I’m saying is true or not.”

Xu Yan chuckled.

“Alright, let’s discuss!”

The crowd of martial arts scholars engaged in a battle of competing martial arts theories and discussed the fundamentals and strengths of their skills.

After the discussion on martial arts skill.

All the martial arts scholars were dumbstruck, their faces filled with disbelief.

Be it theory-wise, or strength-wise, Xu Yan’s explanation and display of martial skills outdid them all.

At that instant, they all experienced major turmoil in their hearts.

“Such martial arts exists in the world? Is there something wrong with the path I’ve chosen for my practice?”

A martial arts scholar fell into deep thought.

Xu Yan stood up with a satisfied smile on his face. It seems like these fellows had realized just how insignificant they were now, didn’t they?

They understood how weak their own martial arts path was, right?

“You all better think hard when you go back. You might gain something.”

Xu Yan turned to leave. He had some new thoughts and planned to find a place to finish the division of his True Qi.

“Young friend, don’t leave in such a hurry. Let’s discuss further.”

A martial arts scholar called out.

This discussion on martial arts had collapsed their longstanding faith in their practice, causing them to question whether the hard-earned martial arts they had practised for most of their lives was erroneous.

“1 don’t have time now, I’ll chat again when there’s time.”

Xu Yan headed downstairs.

Fu Yuntian followed behind and couldn’t help but ask, “Did you make up all that just to deceive them?”

“What do you think?”

A smile appeared on Xu Yan’s face.

The more obsessive a practitioner of martial arts was — those who were stuck in the pit of martial arts and couldn’t get out — the more easily they were shaken by the true theories of martial arts, and the more likely they were to question whether there were issues with the martial arts they had been practising.

Martial artists like Fu Yuntian didn’t have such strong self-doubt.

“Those martial arts scholars are truly obsessed with martial arts. If we want to spread the true martial arts, starting with them wouldn’t be a bad idea.”

Xu Yan thought to himself.

Fu Yuntian opened his mouth, but he didn’t continue with his questions.

In this martial arts discussion, the Seven-Star Study Palace had clearly lost.

Regardless of whether the martial arts Xu Yan discussed were fabricated or not, the group of martial arts scholars had taken a hit, meaning they were the ones who had lost.

As Xu Yan exited the pavilion, he saw a crowd of people waiting outside. They had come to watch him in anticipation.

“Young Master Xie!”

A young female martial artist cried out.

“That’s Xie Lingfeng? He’s so young!”

“Unbelievable. If 1 were as talented as him, would I have to worry about not getting noticed by my fellow disciples?”

“No, I just need a small portion of Xie Lingfeng’s good looks and I wouldn’t be lacking admirers!”

Xu Yan didn’t stay, he was only eager to find a place to settle down and complete the division of his True Qi.

“Brother Xie, your fame is growing bigger and bigger!”

With a sigh in his heart, he was genuinely happy for Brother Xie!

“Goodbye!”

With a salute to Fu Yuntian, Xu Yan moved slightly, threading his way through the crowd and striding towards the outside of the Seven-Star Study Palace.

Fu Yuntian’s pupils shrunk, his movement technique was incredibly fast!

Xu Yan quickly left the Seven-Star Study Palace to head for the nearest Seven-Star City, planning to find a place to stay temporarily while he completes the splitting of his True Qi and breakthrough to full Innate Realm mastery.

At the Seven-Star Study Palace’s repository, he had read many classics and discussed martial arts with many scholars, which gave him some new insights.

He could complete the splitting of the True Qi quickly!

Once the True Qi was split, he could ascend to the completion of the Innate Realm smoothly if he fully comprehended the mystery of the True Qi.

“I need to cultivate, so a guesthouse won’t do. I need a quiet little courtyard.

But it’s probably pretty expensive.”

The thought of having to pay a considerable amount of Spirit Crystals had Xu Yan feeling a painful pinch in his heart.

Though he had quite a few Spirit Crystals on him, if he used them to buy Spiritual Medicine, he wouldn’t have many left. After some calculation, he realized that he was still quite poor.

“I wonder where the enemies of my junior sister disciple are. If I could get a few more sub-branches, I might get rich quickly.”

Xu Yan thought.

Suddenly, a figure ran over and blocked his path.

“I am Leng Qiu from Sword Sovereign Cliff, may 1 ask why you pretend to be my Brother Xie?”

Leng Qiu asked with a serious look.

Xu Yan raised an eyebrow, a disciple from Sword Sovereign Cliff?

Immediately, he responded discontentedly, “Stop talking nonsense, what do you mean ‘pretend’? I got Brother Xie’s permission!”

Leng Qiu was stunned, “My brother allowed it?”

“Of course, Brother Xie even stated that in the Inner Domain, I can use his name for anything!”

Xu Yan confirmed.

“Perhaps you misunderstood, my brother let you use his name, didn’t tell you to…”

Leng Qiu was somewhat confused. Is that how you use someone’s name?

Xu Yan looked at him as if he were an idiot, “Are you stupid? If you don’t use his name like that, do you say that 1 am Xie Lingfeng’s friend?

“Do you think anyone would care about you? Others can say they too are friends with Xie Lingfeng, that holds no deterrent.”

“You don’t even know how to use a name properly?

“Of course it’s, ‘1 am Xie Lingfeng’, didn’t you see me getting into the Seven-Star Study Palace’s repository?”

Leng Qiu was flabbergasted. He felt muddled and didn’t know how to rebut.

That reasoning sounded so plausible!

A friend of Xie Lingfeng couldn’t be as influential as Xie Lingfeng himself, right?

“So my brother really allowed it?”

Leng Qiu found it hard to believe.

What was his brother thinking, letting someone borrow his name?

“Of course!”

Xu Yan confidently answered.

Then his eyes brightened, he placed his hand on Leng Qiu’s shoulder, his face full of enthusiasm, saying, “Tell Brother Xie that Xu Yan has come to the Inner Domain, and I’ve made his name famous, no need to thank me!”

Leng Qiu’s mouth twitched, he didn’t know what his brother’s expression would be when he learns that his name has been spread all over the Seven-Star Study Palace.

“I’ve already informed my brother, he should be on his way to the Seven-Star Study Palace!”

Leng Qiu always felt that this young man named Xu Yan was a little overly enthusiastic.

“Brother Leng, you are a disciple of Sword Sovereign Cliff, right? You have a place to stay in the Seven-Star City? Is it a single courtyard?”

Xu Yan asked enthusiastically.

“Yes, Sword Sovereign Cliff has several villas in Seven-Star City, and I’m living in one of them.”

Leng Qiu nodded honestly.

“Great! Let’s go to your courtyard; I’ll wait for Brother Xie there over the next few days.”

Xu Yan was thrilled.

He just saved a bunch of Spirit Crystals.

Since he had already used Brother Xie’s name, it did not matter if he stayed in the Sword Sovereign Cliff’s villa.

“Alright, okay!”

Leng Qiu felt a bit dazed; he had an absurd feeling. Was this guy just here to freeload on his accommodation?

“Since he is my brother’s friend, it’s perfectly reasonable for him to stay in the villa for a while, right?”

Leng Qiu thought to himself.

Under the guidance of Leng Qiu, Xu Yan arrived at one of the Sword Sovereign Cliff’s villas in the Seven-Star City. The place was rather secluded and was one of the many villas that the Sword Sovereign Cliff owned in Seven-Star City.

Apart from Leng Qiu, there were not any other disciples from Sword Sovereign Cliff staying in the villa yet.

Perhaps, they were staying in other villas.

“This place is nice and secluded. So, even if there is some disturbance, it won’t bother others.”

Xu Yan looked satisfied..
