"I hereby declare that from this day forward, Zhenwu has arrived. You may either accept it and embark on a path to heaven, or reject it and be eliminated by the times."

"Ah Liang."

"exist!"

"I'll give you 10 minutes to make sure that everyone here, except for me and your junior sister, can't stand up anymore."

"Yes!"

Having received Yi Shuihan's orders, A Liang excitedly began his gang fight, single-handedly beating up a group of people in the venue.

Faced with the aggressive A-Liang, these half-baked martial artists were completely powerless to resist, collapsing at the slightest touch and proving utterly ineffective.

Like harvesting wheat, no one stood in the places Ah Liang went.

Chapter 933, Ice Spirit Guide

"How is this possible? Why is he so strong? I have practiced martial arts diligently for decades, yet I am no match for him in a single move."

"Heavens! Why is this so unfair? How can there be such powerful people in the world?"

"Is his body made of iron? So many of us beat him up and he's perfectly fine, but our own fists are sore from the blows."

Ah Liang's strength completely overturned everyone's understanding. In the past, the most powerful martial artist in their eyes was someone who could fight dozens of people without being defeated. Being able to fight a hundred people was legendary, and that was referring to dealing with ordinary people. But now, Ah Liang has defeated hundreds of people in a short period of time, and the number is still increasing.

"How can his fist release that white mist? What is that anyway, frost?"

"It's magic. This must be magic. Martial arts could never have this effect. It's not scientific. He must have used high-tech power in secret."

"That's right, it's definitely magic. I absolutely don't believe that the so-called Zhenwu can do these things."

Whether they want to believe it or not, they can hypnotize themselves into attributing it all to magic. In any case, they cannot change one thing: all the martial arts schools in Xidu are about to be overthrown, and the only one who has accomplished this is a small martial arts school that opened this year. This school has only three official staff members, including the school owner.

The Xidu Martial Arts Exchange Conference is a grand event in Xidu, and cameras at the venue broadcast the entire event live to people outside.

The number of people paying attention to this exchange conference was not large, but it was definitely not small either. At least tens of thousands of people watched the live broadcast at home, and when they saw A-Liang dominating the venue, they were all very excited.

"That's amazing! Is he even human? But he's so handsome. He's a student at the Zhenwu Martial Arts Academy, studying Zhenwu. If I went to study there, could I become this good?"

"Never mind, I'm going to go see for myself if this is real. If it is, I'll definitely go to the Zhenwu Dojo to learn Zhenwu."

"Is this a movie or a live stream? If it's a movie, the special effects are terrible! It's like something that costs 2 yuan."

Some believe it, some don't, but in any case, the existence of the Shinbu Dojo is spreading rapidly in Xidu as the virus spreads.

on site,

Seven out of ten minutes had passed, and all the people from the small and medium-sized martial arts schools had been defeated. What remained were the real big martial arts schools in the Xidu martial arts world.

"Senior Brother, can you leave the rest to me?"

"I can't make that decision unless you can persuade the teacher."

Ah Liang had already had his fill of fighting, and if Yi Shuihan spoke up at this point, he would be willing to leave a few for Qiu Ning, since Qiu Ning was originally the first person to stand up.

Qiu Ning looked at Yi Shuihan with a pleading expression, making it hard to refuse her.

"No, but I didn't say you couldn't make a move when Ah Liang makes a move."

Qiu Ning's face darkened at first, then brightened.

"Thank you, teacher. Senior brother, you heard what the teacher said. Next, we'll see who can defeat the most people. The previous ones don't count. If you lose, I'll be the senior sister."

Without waiting for Ah Liang, she rushed towards the podium. Her first target was none other than Zhang Shaohua from the Extreme Martial Arts Academy.

"Master Zhang, please give me some pointers on Zhenwu!"

Master Zhang was at a loss for words. Qiu Ning's speed was too fast, and his eyes were blurred. He could only see afterimages and could only rely on a little instinct and experience to judge Qiu Ning's movements. As a result, he was knocked to the ground in just a few moves.

After falling to the ground, Zhang Shaohua still had the strength to get up, but he couldn't. He was completely dumbfounded. Recalling his previous actions, he felt that he had lost all face. He couldn't even beat a little girl who hadn't been learning martial arts for long, yet he thought he was a master in the martial arts world. Now that he thought about it, he wondered how she must have been laughing at him.

Qiu Ning's Wind God Leg technique was far faster than A Liang's, and in the blink of an eye, she had taken the lead over several people. Seeing that he was about to be forced to give up his senior brother, A Liang became anxious.

With Frost Fist at maximum power, he roared...

"Ice Spirit Guide"

The frost energy that appeared from Ah Liang's hands seemed to be guided, rapidly spreading through the air. This was a higher level of application of energy, allowing him to control energy over a certain distance.

Ah Liang's speed is not good, so he does not intend to use his speed to decide the outcome. The speed of the Frost Qi is much faster than Qiu Ning's.

Qiu Ning noticed A Liang's moves and became anxious. She used all her strength to unleash the Wind God Leg technique, but unfortunately, she still lost the match by a margin of 3 people.

"It was really lucky. If I hadn't been dealing with just these ordinary people, I probably would have been the one who lost."

Ah Liang understood that his manipulation of frost energy was far from being applicable in actual combat, because the detached frost energy did not condense and would continuously weaken in the air. If he were to fight against someone of the same level, it would be completely meaningless; he could simply keep a distance.

"Teacher, the task is complete."

This time, Ah Liang wasn't as smug as before, because he knew that all of this was to be expected. With such a huge gap in strength, if he still couldn't complete the mission, then there would really be a problem.

Nodding, Yi Shuihan took a step forward, stepping into the void amidst the gasps of the crowd, as if an invisible staircase was supporting him in the air.

Those who were nearby reached out and touched the spot where Yi Shuihan had stood, trying to find the unseen thing, but they simply passed right through it; clearly, there was nothing there.

"Zhenwu? He really can fly! What he said before wasn't a lie, it was true!?"

Recalling what Yi Shuihan had said earlier, everyone was shaken to their core.

If we learn Zhenwu, can we achieve the same result?

The pursuit of power is an instinct of all living beings, and when such an opportunity is presented to them, no one is willing to give it up.

Some students have already begun to change their mindset, thinking that they will report to Zhenwu Dojo later. As long as they can become stronger by learning Zhenwu, it doesn't matter if they lose their integrity. Besides, this is not a betrayal. We have been awakened by Master Yi, realized the true meaning of martial arts, turned over a new leaf, and returned to the path of martial arts cultivation.

Is martial arts truly on the verge of a resurgence?

Looking at the godlike figure in the sky, some people felt a fire ignite in their hearts, a fire that fueled their technological advancement.

Chapter 934, Breaking Through Perceptions is True Martial Arts

Undeniably, since the development of technology, martial arts have begun to decline. Martial artists of the past were the true overlords of this world because they controlled power far beyond that of ordinary people.

Nowadays, even the strongest martial artists cannot withstand the power of technology. The most skilled can probably only dodge small firearms, but against truly large weapons like cannons, they would be courting death.

Of course, this is only on the surface. There are still some true martial artists, such as Master Roshi and Tao Pai Pai. Their strength can only be killed by a massive bombardment of missiles, and those missiles must be the kind that are poisonous.

There are only a handful of martial artists of Master Roshi's caliber on Earth, far too few compared to mass-producible technological weapons.

Without understanding true martial arts, even after practicing for over a decade, one's body may only be slightly stronger than the average person, leaving them helpless against a submachine gun. This greatly diminishes people's enthusiasm for learning martial arts.

How many people are actually learning martial arts for the true purpose of martial arts these days? Those who have other better paths wouldn't choose this one. In reality, a wealthy person is worth the effort of the owner of Extreme Martial Arts School, one of the three top martial arts schools in Xidu, to curry favor with.

The appearance of Yi Shuihan certainly brought an unprecedented shock to the martial arts world of Xidu, but it also brought new hope, allowing martial arts to shine again and changing the status of martial artists.

Of course, this is on the premise that everything Yi Shuihan said is true.

"Some of you may know these two. Two months ago, they were just ordinary people with no experience in martial arts. Most of you could have defeated them, but now..."

Yi Shuihan spoke slowly, and the information he revealed stirred the hearts of everyone present.

"To go from an ordinary person to that strong in just two months, if it's because of Zhenwu, then Zhenwu is truly terrifyingly strong."

"If we also learned the True Martial Arts, wouldn't we be able to become this strong in a short time? We've already reached this level in just two months, so what if it were a year, several years, or even decades? That would be the time..."

Those who knew Qiu Ning's true situation, upon realizing how powerful she had become in just two months, finally took seriously the True Martial Arts that Yi Shuihan had mentioned. Upon careful consideration, they realized that if True Martial Arts had such an effect, then the martial arts they had learned were truly fake martial arts, and this was not an exaggeration at all.

"If only I could learn Zhenwu."

The crowd stared at Yi Shuihan with fervent eyes, completely forgetting how they had previously underestimated him.

"Martial arts have no limits. Don't be bound by your common sense. The only thing a true martial artist needs to do is break through cognition. When you break the rules of common sense time and time again, you get closer and closer to the true path of martial arts. For example, the ceiling blocks my view, so I have to break through it."

With a slight tap of the finger, a flash of light appeared, and with a boom, the ceiling completely disappeared. Without the ceiling obstructing the view, sunlight streamed freely down on everyone, and the blue sky and white clouds were clearly visible.

"This blue sky is also blocking my view, so..."

With another flick of his finger, a beam of light shot straight into the sky, shattering everything that stood in its way.

"Is this...space?"

"How is that possible? They actually saw space directly."

The blue sky disappeared, replaced by the starry universe, leaving everyone stunned by this magical scene.

It completely defied scientific principles and accomplished something that technology could not do. This should never have happened in reality, but the reality before their eyes told them that it was possible.

At this point, some people had already begun to understand what Yi Shuihan meant by breaking through conventional wisdom.

"Yes! Because I thought I couldn't reach a higher level, I ended up limiting myself."

A martial artist sighed, his inner constraints were broken, and his entire demeanor changed drastically. Although he was already middle-aged, he gave people the feeling of a young man with sharp edges.

Many martial artists who had reached the point of no further progress broke through their mental barriers and reached a higher level. Although there was no immediate and obvious change in their strength, as long as they continued to pursue martial arts, their strength would undergo a transformation.

"It's never too late to pursue martial arts. As the saying goes, 'If you hear the Way in the morning, you can die content in the evening.' Don't think that just because you're old, you won't achieve anything in martial arts."

"Earth is too insignificant in this universe. In the distant stars, there are countless races. They are powerful, and some can even destroy planets with ease. Although technology is good, it is not the right path. Only true martial arts can make Earth strong, so that we can protect ourselves when those evil aliens invade."

That statement is somewhat insincere; some technological capabilities are actually comparable to martial arts.

"What! There really are aliens."

Yi Shuihan's words broadened everyone's thinking considerably, although some still didn't believe that aliens could really destroy a planet so easily.

If Yi Shuihan had said this before, everyone would have taken it as a joke. But after witnessing Yi Shuihan's various abilities, their trust in him has increased immeasurably.

"One month from now, Zhenwu Mountain will open, and those who wish to seek Zhenwu may explore it."

After leaving those words, Yi Shuihan left with A Liang and Qiu Ning. At that moment, people looked at Qiu Ning and A Liang with envy, wishing they could take their place.

Even Zhang Shaohua is the same; her status as a wealthy young lady pales in comparison to her status as a successor of the Zhenwu Martial Arts Academy.

The events surrounding the Xidu Martial Arts Exchange Conference spread rapidly throughout Xidu. Some believed it, some didn't, but in any case, the term "True Martial Arts" had already left an impression on people's minds.

Many martial artists who were at the event immediately went to visit the Zhenwu Dojo afterward, wanting to learn Zhenwu. Unfortunately, even though they found the Zhenwu Dojo, they couldn't get in no matter what methods they used.

So they turned to inquire about Zhenwu Mountain, but to no avail. They could only wait in secret for Zhenwu Mountain to open.

Exactly one month after the Xidu Martial Arts Exchange Conference, on this day, all the people of Xidu could hear a tremendous roar, and then a tall mountain rose from the ground.

"Zhenwu Mountain is open for 3 days only. Those who are destined may enter."

Chapter 935, The Revival of Earth's Martial Arts

The towering mountain that rises from the ground is naturally the work of Yi Shuihan.

The Zhenwu Mountain soars into the clouds, its peaks invisible at a glance, giving it a majestic and awe-inspiring presence that inspires awe in all who behold it from afar.

"Is it Zhenwu Mountain? The Zhenwu Mountain that Master Yi mentioned?"

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up! Didn't you hear that you only have 3 days? If you're late, it will be too late for anything."

"Enter Zhenwu Mountain, learn Zhenwu, become a Zhenwu master, and wealth and honor will be easily attained."

Such a commotion was visible to all the people of Xidu, and the inside story about Zhenwu Mountain gradually spread among them. Whether they believed it or not, countless people still headed towards Zhenwu Mountain.

Zhenwu Mountain is located a few dozen miles outside Xidu. By the time people arrived, it was already half an hour later.

"What's going on? Why can't I get in?"

A skeptical passerby arrived at the foot of Zhenwu Mountain, intending to climb it. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't place his feet on the mountain peak, as if the mountain in front of him didn't exist at all.

"Could this be a mirage?"

However, he was stunned the next moment, because not far from him, a person dressed in martial arts uniform easily stepped into the territory of Zhenwu Mountain and then disappeared right before his eyes.

One person could be considered an accident, but when he saw one after another enter Zhenwu Mountain and disappear from his sight, he finally sensed that something was wrong.

"Young man, wait a minute!"

"Uncle, what's the matter?"

Do you know why I can't get in?

"Your destiny is not strong enough."

He silently pulled out a multi-purpose capsule and said...

"Tell me, and this flying car all-purpose capsule is yours."

"To enter, one must be sincere, believe in the existence of Zhenwu, and have a mindset of seeking the Dao."

After adjusting his state, he finally managed to enter Zhenwu Mountain.

……

Zhenwu Mountain is very large, stretching for dozens of miles, and can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. However, everyone who enters Zhenwu Mountain will be immediately teleported to a certain location within the mountain.
