Sweeping both worlds: Starting from idealistic martial arts

Chapter 262 The Saintess Imprisoned in the Goblin's Lair (A long chapter of 4,000 words, please vote!)

In just a few breaths, Fang Can's physical body went from being full of vitality to appearing somewhat weak.

In order to gain the trust of those martial artists, especially to deceive those at the fourth level, he naturally had to make it seem more genuine.

Under the influence of the force field, most of Fang Can's bones were twisted and broken, and he deliberately tore off his left arm.

Under the horrified gazes of these believers, Fang Can was already on the verge of death, suspended in mid-air by the force field.

The second-stage martial artist respectfully supported Fang Can's body with his true energy and said, "My lord, I will take you to the Inverted Sect next."

After receiving Fang Can's weak confirmation, the two quickly left the capital and headed south.

The Inverted Sect holds a very important position as one of the four major sects of the Great Yan Sect.

Its headquarters were located on the outskirts of Guangling City in Yangzhou, thousands of miles away from the capital.

However, given the speed of a second-stage martial artist, they can always arrive within two hours if they hurry.

But along the way, as he traveled, he saw some other things as well.

Players!!!

'I almost overlooked these guys.'

Fang Can squinted as he looked down at the chaotic scene in the city below.

Even with the legal constraints of the Interstellar Federation, players ultimately find it difficult to suppress their natural instincts.

By observation, it was observed that some players who had just entered the game were dying repeatedly.

By bleeding himself to death in a busy urban area, causing widespread panic, his corpse respawned in another location.

Some people constantly talk to those around them, trying to detect game bugs or quests.

There are also those who disregard federal regulations, engage in rampant killing, and attempt to escalate the situation recklessly.

……

Because players possess a series of characteristics such as unlimited resurrection, ignoring pain, and leveling up by killing monsters, their behavior is inherently more difficult to control than that of simple natives.

Moreover, Fang Can discovered in his understanding of the players that these players' talents were considered astonishing in the Great Evolution.

You can gain 1 experience point for every hour of training.

The basic skill "Five Elements Nourishing Skill" only requires 100 experience points to enter.

Even without fighting monsters and leveling up, one can draw qi into the body in just four or five days by focusing on cultivation. The speed of improvement is almost unparalleled.

Given time, if these players with unlimited resurrection abilities were given time to develop, the entire martial arts world's landscape would likely be altered, truly allowing martial artists to experience the terror of the Fourth Calamity.

'But it doesn't matter... these people are not even a fraction as good as me.' Fang Can closed his eyes to rest, not paying attention to the situation below.

The reason why those fourth-tier players are able to dominate the world now is simply because they have only just started.

Even if it's the so-called fourth natural disaster, Fang Can doesn't think he'll be surpassed by this group of people.

After all, he firmly believed that he would be the one to reach the finish line in the end.

After a long journey, two hours later, as the evening stars gradually rose, the two arrived at the Upside-Down Gate in Yangzhou.

In fact, even from a great distance, Fang Can couldn't help but notice the massive mountain gate of the Inverted Gate.

Hundreds of kilometers away, a massive, upside-down mountain peak floats rootlessly in the sky.

The pitch-black mountain resembles the tip of a sword severed by lightning, hanging straight down from the heavens.

Countless massive ancient trees grow downwards, while the dragon claw-shaped rock base at the mountain's summit, which should have been rooted in the earth's veins, now menacingly juts out towards the sky.

The location that should have intersected with the ground has instead become the foundation of the inverted door, forming a huge inverted triangular cone shape.

Below the inverted mountain peak lies a vast lake, its mirror-like surface reflecting the inverted peak, giving one the illusion that the world is upside down and the water is the sky.

According to ancient records, this inverted gate was originally created by Wu Zhuan.

Simply by altering the rules of the Earth's magnetic field, a mountain peak was forcibly uprooted to serve as a gate, and the moon rises and sets, remaining constant for hundreds of years, demonstrating the power of the Five Revolutions.

For the people who have lived in Yangzhou for generations, this upside-down gate is undoubtedly a synonym for miracle.

Guided by the second turn, the two quickly leaped onto the inverted mountain peak.

Upon seeing the two men enter, the gatekeeper immediately adopted a respectful posture and dared not obstruct their entry.

The second-ranked disciple, however, wore his usual arrogant demeanor as he swaggered into the gate, drawing the attention of the other disciples.

Along the way, countless physically strong disciples sparred with each other in various corners, striving to hone their energetic muscles.

Sensing the two passing by, the disciples stopped what they were doing and respectfully bowed to the second-stage cultivators, while secretly glancing at the dying Fang Can.

Once the two had walked away, some quiet chatter began between them.

"Is this the Fang Can the sect leader was talking about? He is indeed extraordinary, but it's a pity that he will remain an ant before reaching the fourth level."

"There's nothing I can do. What good is becoming a first-tier cultivator in three months? Potential can't ultimately be converted into power."

"I've heard that eating a hot dog can greatly improve your martial arts skills. I wonder if it's true?" a disciple asked curiously.

"Of course it's true. Those hundred women on the Rising Dragon Ranking have all reached the fourth or fifth level of the Profound Gate Realm. How could they be lying?"

Another muscular disciple said enviously, "If it's true, I'd be willing to pay for a hot dog."

"Yeah! Yeah! I even castrated my genitals to practice martial arts, so I'll definitely give this hot dog a good taste!"

……

Ignoring the words coming from behind, they walked for another half an incense stick's time.

After the second turn, the two finally arrived at the reception hall located in the very center of the inverted gate.

In the spacious, minimalist hall, the current leader of the Upside-Down Sect was looking at the weak, floating youth before him, supported by his inner energy, with a mocking smile:
"Young Master Fang, how have you been? I didn't expect we'd meet so soon."

Looking at the burly, middle-aged man in front of him, dressed in a simple dark blue satin robe with arrow-sleeved sleeves, he had met him a few days ago.

Fang Can said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I never expected that the first fourth-rank cultivator to try to capture me would be the Sha Sect Master of the Inverted Sect."

"Haha, there's no other way, I was asked to do it."

Sha Jing laughed heartily twice, then looked intently at Fang Can: "Young Master Fang, to be honest, I am very interested in you."

"Your talent and your performance in the competition among nations are both very much to my liking."

"The problem is that your talent is too good, so good that I can't even protect you. Otherwise, I really want to take you as my disciple and let you follow me. Reaching the fourth level within ten years will not be a problem."

Fang Can said coldly, "Why is Sect Leader Sha saying all this? Just imprison me. It's far too talkative to a prisoner." "Young Hero Fang, have you forgotten something?"

With a playful look in his eyes, Sha Jing said, "I mentioned before that I was entrusted with this task, so you don't need to stay at the Upside-Down Gate for the next three days, because there is a more suitable place for you to recuperate."

Fang Can frowned: "Where?"

With a mocking smile, Sha Jing said, enunciating each word clearly: "Su-Xin-Zhai?"

'Suxinzhai?'

As Sha Jing spoke, Fang Can's furrowed brows widened slightly: "Where did you say?"

Just as Fang Can was filled with questions, an incredibly soft and alluring voice came from the corner:

"Young hero, there's no need to doubt... it's the Suxinzhai you're thinking of."

As Fang Can stiffly turned his head, he saw a fiery red figure standing beside him.

In Fang Can's observation, the newcomer was like a carefully dressed doll in a shop window.

Her flawless and alluring face was porcelain white and translucent, with a beauty mark at the corner of her right eye. She wore a fiery red gauze dress, like flowing lava formed from the sunset.
Her waist-length hair cascaded over her long dress, and a thin red gold chain wrapped around her bare ankles. Her ten round and smooth toes were painted with vermilion nail polish.

'He...Hehuan Sect...'

Looking at the stunningly beautiful girl in front of him, Fang Can thought of the infamous reputation of the other sect.

In stark contrast to the Sword-Slaying Mountain, which is almost known for producing female warriors, Suxinzhai, in Fang Can's understanding, is the Hehuan Sect of the martial arts world.

In Fang Can's memory, Su Xin Zhai kidnapped young men everywhere to provide for its disciples' cultivation, and countless martial artists were harmed by it. It was simply terrifying.

Moreover, according to Yuan Dang, he was kidnapped by Suxinzhai in the future.
Seeing Fang Can's wide eyes, the girl from Suxinzhai said in a low voice, "It seems that you have some prejudice against Suxinzhai, which really makes me sad."

Hehuan… The young girl from Suxinzhai smiled charmingly and walked barefoot toward Fang Can.

With each step, the bells hanging from the thin gold chain on her ankles swayed gently, producing a clear, ringing sound.

As Fang Can approached, she felt a delicate, rose-like fragrance waft towards her, and then her face was cupped in a cool hand.

"This figure, this beauty, is truly delightful. Tsk tsk, she is no less beautiful than me."

The girl in the red dress looked at Fang Can's appearance with the eyes of someone admiring a work of art, her gaze filled with pure appreciation.

With a slightly flustered look in his eyes, Fang Can hurriedly asked, "Didn't we agree that I would be assigned in three days? Why are you handing me over to Suxinzhai?"

"Anyway, we've been idle for the past three days. Suxinzhai said they wanted to test the quality of your furnace cauldron. After all, they have experience in this area, so it would be more professional for them to do the evaluation. We decided to leave it to them."

The Sand Whale Sect Master's words were reasonable and well-founded.

As we all know, product evaluation should be conducted by experts in the relevant field.

Suxinzhai has been deeply involved in the study of Albizia julibrissin for many years and is definitely a master in the field!
Let these professionals thoroughly evaluate Fangcan's product. We'll surely have a detailed parameter report in three days!

Just as Fang Can's emotions were churning, the girl in the red dress gently bit her lower lip, her cheeks flushed with a drunken blush, and she lowered her eyes shyly, saying, "My lord, please be kind to me these three days."

Fang Can: Hehe... We're doomed.

The boy was already feeling a little worried about what the next three days would bring.

Once you enter Suxinzhai, you'll probably have to suffer a lot of skin before you can get out.

How is it any different for someone to enter the Hehuan Sect on their own, or for a saintess to accidentally wander into a goblin's lair?
Before coming here, I only consulted a divination to see if I would be raped. The divination said not to worry, as long as I stay true to myself, everything will pass.

But the divination didn't say that I would be severely sexually exploited!
I thought that since there were only a bunch of guys at the sports school's upside-down gate, I wouldn't get raped and wouldn't have to worry.

As a result, they were immediately sent to the neighboring technical school's electromechanical engineering department for further studies. Who could resist that?

Even the Sand Whale couldn't help but add when looking at Fang Can: "Don't be too harsh on the evaluation, or you'll damage the foundation."

"Of course I know. Doesn't Master Sha know the abilities of my Su Xin Zhai?" The girl in red used her inner energy to lift Fang Can up, then blushed and said:
"Having done the sect such a great favor, why don't you return to Suxin Zhai with me, Shamen? The sect will certainly hold a grand welcome banquet for you. If the sect leader is willing, even I, a humble woman, would be honored..."

Before he could finish speaking, the sand whale waved its hand dismissively, interrupting him:
"Get out of here! Do you think I haven't heard of the lineage of your Suxinzhai main branch? It's no wonder that your entire main branch is full of novices, only thinking about getting something for nothing."

'Suxinzhai? Chu?' Upon hearing Sha Jing's words, a look of surprise flashed across Fang Can's face.

These two words don't seem like they should be put together at all.

Seemingly noticing Fang Can's confusion, Sha Jing revealed a teasing smile and said:
"It's okay if you don't understand now, kid. You'll gradually understand during the three days at Suxinzhai. What lies ahead is hell."

"Master Sha, don't put too much pressure on the young hero. Besides, those are just rumors. Master Sha, don't be too prejudiced."

The girl in the red dress smiled and lifted Fang Can, walking towards the door with light steps, the sound of bells ringing out.

As the two figures gradually disappeared in front of him, Sha Jing gently patted his disciple's shoulder and said, "Yan Miao, you did a good job this time."

Being praised like that, Yan Miao subconsciously felt a little guilty.

He had promised to bring Fang Can back, but he never expected that Fang Can would be taken away by the Hehuan Sect. But now that things had come to this, he could only hope that Lord Fang could withstand it.

Then, with a hint of doubt, Yan Miao looked at the sect leader and said, "Sect leader, why did you say that the Holy Maiden of Suxinzhai is a virgin? That must be false, right?"

"Hmph, of course I wouldn't lie. The main lineage of Suxinzhai in recent generations is definitely all fledglings," Sha Jing said confidently.

“It’s normal for you to have this thought now, but you’ll understand when you know how terrifying the Great Blissful Heart Sutra they practice is.”

The sand whale said mysteriously, "Hehe, Yan Miao, have you heard the story of Su Xin Zhai?"

"This disciple does not know, please enlighten me, Master," Yan Miao said with great curiosity.

“Every generation of the main lineage of Suxinzhai’s Holy Maiden must practice a technique called the ‘Great Joy Bodhisattva Heart Sutra,’ which is an unprecedented top-level technique for absorbing and replenishing essence.”

"What is unprecedented? What is top-tier? It means that as long as the conditions are met, one can easily overcome the shackles of different realms."

"There is even a legend that the second-generation master of Suxinzhai could leap from the first to the fifth level at the moment of success."

"what!!!"

Yan Miao gasped, staring at his master in shock, speechless with astonishment.

In a situation where breaking through from the third to the fourth stage is incredibly difficult, to leap from the first to the fifth stage—what kind of terrifying technique is this?

Understanding Yan Miao's shock perfectly, Sha Jing slowly said, "The primary condition for cultivating the Great Joy Bodhisattva Heart Sutra is to be a virgin."

"Once you lose your virginity, that's when you'll succeed."

"At the moment of breaking the body, this Great Bliss Bodhisattva Heart Sutra will forcibly devour half of the target's cultivation."

"Even if you are only at the first level, you can still go against the current and swallow five levels."
