Martial Saint!.

Chapter 453: Things in the World (asking for double monthly tickets)
2248, April 12.

After not seeing each other for many years, the world has become bigger. Lu Chenzhou crossed the Yunmengze for two days and nights before returning to Longwu, Sucheng.

Therefore, it was difficult for him to see the entire picture of the planet from outer space. This shows how vast the wilderness was in the past.
Logically speaking, the enlargement of the planet would cause a series of chain reactions in the solar system, but apart from the slow increase in gravity and climate change, there are no other negative effects.

These are probably divine means.

"Su City has changed a lot. I can roughly sense the aura of fifty masters, and there are four grand masters." Lu Chenzhou couldn't wait to disappear in the city.

……

A lost city somewhere in the south of the Yangtze River, an old unfinished building that has been abandoned for decades and covered with vines.

"Everyone, open your eyes and take a look. In today's world, there are tens of billions of people, but only one in a million can become a master! Only one in a hundred can become a martial artist!

Without talent, there are no resources. Without resources, there is no way to practice martial arts. This is a vicious cycle!
The parliament can't help you, and the high-ranking martial artists don't care about the lives of mortals. Mortals are tools of production, breeding machines, and leeks that can be used at any time.

Mortals are used to fill the gaps in war and to fill the trenches. Face the reality. If you want to learn martial arts, your bones will be formed the moment you are born. "An old man with a kind face was giving a speech, his tone was excited.

"Mr. Liu, I have a different opinion. The 'Invisible Chapter of the Myriad Things' studied by the Myriad Things Dao can change one's acquired bones. Even ordinary people can have the opportunity to become martial artists as long as they are willing to work hard. One of my nephews practiced the 'White Ape Bone Refining Technique' and became a 'Ape Arms and Thin Waist'. He broke free at the age of 25."

One attendee couldn't help but retort.

Mr. Liu smiled and said:
"Don't take individual cases as the norm. As far as I know, those who practice the 'Invisible All Things' chapter have low-level roots. They are either rich or noble, and it is difficult for them to reach the Grandmaster level in this lifetime. In the next era, those who don't reach the Grandmaster level are all ants!"

"But if we don't practice martial arts, how can we become strong, protect our families, and survive in the end times?"

"Yes, Mr. Liu, do you have any solution?"

“I also want to be extraordinary.”

The assembled people looked eager.

Mr. Liu smiled and said, "Martial arts has never been the only way out. The mysterious organization I work for has developed a method that allows ordinary people to control supernatural powers such as earth, fire, wind and water. It is derived from the [Qi Refining Technique of the Great Wilderness Era] mentioned in martial arts textbooks, but it abandons the shortcomings of Qi Refining Method that is too demanding and the progress of practice is too slow. We only need a pair of eyes of truth that can analyze all things in the world, and a sincere heart that never gives up in pursuit of truth, and then we can start practicing!"

Someone questioned.

"Is there really such a method? Parliamentary laws stipulate that except for the three major martial arts systems, all others are forbidden and cannot be practiced. Sir, are you from the Ancient God Church?"

Mr. Liu looked normal and smiled:
“On this extraordinary path of ours, there is no need to believe in gods. All you need to do is believe in the [truth] in your heart and visualize the god of truth in your heart.

We are... the Truth Mages."

……

Sioux City Base City.

Vientiane Road Branch.

As the New Year was approaching, everyone gathered at Qingtiancang's house to prepare a dinner. Old Ji drank some wine and read the newspaper.

"I always feel like it was just yesterday that I accepted Chen Zhou as my true disciple. In the blink of an eye, he has been promoted to a Grandmaster. Killing the Great Demon King is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables. Time flies so fast. I am already an old man in my seventies, but luckily I succeeded in breaking through the second level."

"If you don't break two, your apprentice will surpass you, right, Yao'er?" Ji Feiyan said with a smile. Time has made her more mature and stable.

But compared to most women in their fifties, she still looks very girlish, as if nothing has changed.

Li Yao put down his master's practice notes and smiled, "No way... I still need two or three years to break through the second level. It's too difficult to break through the second level before the age of 22 like my master."

The 22-year-old Li Yao has completely inherited the advantages of her mother Li Yu. In terms of appearance, she is the best in the school.

There are many pursuers inside and outside the Wanxiang Dao.

Li Yao was a little nervous. Her master would be back soon. Would he be disappointed if he saw that she hadn't broken 2 yet?
Shi Ruyu, wearing an apron, walked out of the kitchen and said with a smile: "Don't compete with your master. Practice at your own pace. With your aptitude, it's only a matter of time before you become a grandmaster."

Time has made Shi Ruyu more mature and gentle. Her progress in cultivation is similar to that of Ji Feiyan. They are both still struggling to break the second level. They would be satisfied if they could break the third level before the age of sixty.

As for the Grandmaster...

Do your best, listen to destiny.

Many people with superior aptitude and even martial arts geniuses have not been able to cross the threshold of becoming a grandmaster. Although she had an epiphany, she had not awakened her martial bone fetus. Her current achievements were inseparable from the help of her master and Lu Chenzhou.

So Shi Ruyu was very content.

Lao Ji on the sofa couldn't help but ask: "Ruyu and Feiyan, when are you going to solve the major issues in your life?"

The two girls said in unison:
“Let’s become a Grandmaster first… It used to be said that those below a martial artist are ants. Now that we have finally become martial artists, it becomes that those below a Grandmaster are ants. We don’t want to be ants!”

Qing Tiancang sighed: "Indeed, the times have changed so much. In the past, there were only a few thousand martial artists in the entire Su City. Some time ago, I went to the Martial Artist Association and heard that the number of martial artists in Su City had exceeded 50,000 yesterday."

Old Ji couldn't help but say, "Damn it! The value of my martial arts master qualification certificate has been further reduced. I haven't even sat down yet. I want to go back to ancient times."

Old Ji just urged him casually, saying that Shi Ruyu and Ji Feiyan would most likely reach the age of three and live to be four hundred years old. Although they are old now and their energy and blood are no longer in their prime, in fact, their body functions and fertility are still in their prime. After all, martial artists are not ordinary people, so there is no need to rush about everything, and martial arts should be the first priority.

He never urged Lu Chenzhou.

He knew that anyone who was not a superstar or a top female powerhouse was not worthy of his disciple and was not a good match.

There was a noise outside. "The Chief is back."

Inside Vientiane Road, it was just like the New Year.

The crowd looked at the burly young man in black training clothes and gathered around him. All the teachers and students cheered.

"After five years, Brother Lu has become one of the strongest men in the world. We were in the same class... It's a pity that the captain didn't see this day." Chen Xiaoyun, who is already a master, sighed with a melancholy and complicated look in his eyes.

"If the captain is still alive, he will soon become a master, right? In Class 1, his talent is second only to Brother Lu. He is much better than us. Damn the Ancient God Church!"

Leopard Girl sighed.

A year ago, Wang Hongdao was ambushed by the Ancient God Church while performing his duty as the Lantern Guard and unfortunately died. At that time, he was already at the end of the Grandmaster Realm, ranked in the top 30 on the Su City Tianjiao Ranking, and was also in the top 500 on the Earth Ranking.

……

"Come on, Chen Zhou, eat more."

Li Xianghua, with her temples full of white hair, kept picking up food for her son, while Lu Guoping just watched with a smile.

Lu Chenzhou, who had been busy practicing and improving, suddenly discovered that everyone around him seemed to have grown older.

My parents are in their sixties. Although they have the blessing of longevity treasures and should live more than two hundred years, it is difficult to change their aging appearance.

The two senior sisters are no longer young.

He ate his meal with mixed feelings.

After thinking for a while, Lu Chenzhou said:

"Dad, Mom, Master Ji... I have now worshipped a deceased strong man as my master and found a blessed cave. If you want to go in, I can take you in. The spiritual energy in there is rich, which can prolong your life and promote your cultivation. But you are not inner disciples, but only my relatives. Therefore, in order to avoid disturbing the tranquility of the cave, it will be difficult to come out after you go in, unless one day the war ends."

At the dinner table, everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks.

After thinking about it, Lao Ji shook his head and smiled:
"I won't go. I can't stand loneliness. I need to be in the human world to practice... Besides, the war isn't over yet. If I hide in a cave now, wouldn't I be a deserter? My drinking buddies will laugh at me."

Li Xianghua and Lu Guoping actually didn't really want to go. To them, seeing Lu Chenzhou's current success, with so many relatives and friends all over the world, was already a relief.

But they are ordinary people and they are old. Staying in the world would only cause trouble to their son, so they still agreed, even though they might feel lonely in the future.

"We won't go either. With our cultivation level, we don't need such a good place. The human world is enough... In addition, the parliament has used Yuanshi to build [Yuanqi Training Rooms] in major base cities. We can use our military merits to rent them for training."

Ji Feiyan and Shi Ruyu didn't go either.

Wang Changming: "I will try my luck in a while and I should be able to become an inner sect disciple, so there is no need for that."

Qingtiancang: "Haha, although the cave is nice, it is only suitable for seclusion in times of peace and prosperity. Nowadays, the fighting power in the human world is scarce, and I want to kill more monsters."

Lu Chenzhou respects everyone's choice.

He also understood Mr. Turtle's difficulties. If a group of people were allowed to come in and out, the cave would easily be exposed to the evil god.

"But I am now under the special attention of the evil god. I am worried that the evil god will implicate you all. Please be careful on weekdays."

Li Gui said: "Don't have too much psychological pressure. Everyone dies in this world. Without pressure, there will be no motivation to practice. Don't worry about us."

Hong Fu said, "That makes sense. Chen Zhou, you just need to keep going forward. We ordinary people have our own duties. If we really die one day, we will have no regrets."

Lu Chenzhou smiled slightly.

Lao Ji raised his glass and said, "In the new year, I wish you all the best and a high level of martial arts!"

"Okay, junior brother, make a wish quickly." Lin Xia returned from the mission of being the Lantern Bearer, carrying a cake. She had been investigating clues about the Ancient God Church.

Not to mention the troublemakers like the Demon Emperor's Palace and the Rakshasa Ghost Kingdom, there are still some cancers in the world that have not been eradicated.

There are too many troubles with Xiaoyaoyou, Xueyinlou, the Ancient God Church, and a mysterious organization that appeared out of nowhere and tried to spread "evil magic" to ordinary people.

"Okay, make a wish!"

Lu Chenzhou closed his eyes and looked back at his youthful days.

Make another wish and you will no longer be confused.

The city is quiet and peaceful with thousands of lights on.

Outside the city, the mountains are like the sea and the setting sun is like blood.
