Slaughter to Prove Your Dao: Unlock the Great Sage Equal to Heaven at the Start!

She put the cherry blossom hair accessory back behind her ear.

He turned around and stepped off the stage, his back still straight.

Yet it seemed to have a few things different.

As the leader of the Kamikaze Martial Arts Academy, Yamamoto Ryuichi, watched this scene, a look of apprehension flashing across his eyes.

He took a deep breath and walked up to Chen Poshan.

He bowed again, his tone even more solemn than before:

"Wuhan University in Shenzhen lives up to its reputation."

"Chen Xingjun is a young hero, truly admirable."

"We have benefited greatly from this exchange. Thank you for your time."

Chen Poshan remained calm, nodded slightly, and spoke in a still indifferent tone:

"Mr. Sato, you're too kind."

"Let's learn from each other, exchange ideas, have our wins and losses, and make progress together. Please."

The exchange concluded in a complex and ambiguous atmosphere.

However, Chen Xing achieved a "nine-game winning streak," especially his clean and decisive victory over SS-rank Kamiya Yuzuki at the end.

The news quickly spread throughout Shenzhen and even further afield.

……

The morning after the Japanese exchange group left the school.

Chen Xing was summoned to the Dean's office of the War Academy.

Chen Poshan personally brewed a pot of tea, the aroma of which wafted through the air.

He looked at the person sitting opposite him with an undisguised smile on his face.

With a calm expression, Chen Xing patted his shoulder forcefully:

"Good lad! You've really made the school proud this time!"

"Nine consecutive wins, clean and decisive!"

"Especially in the last match, they even took down that SS-rank little girl from Kamikaze Martial Arts Academy!"

"Well done! That was satisfying!"

Chen Xing took the teacup from Chen Poshan and took a sip.

His tone was flat: "Of course."

"What a convenient excuse!"

Chen Poshan laughed heartily, quite satisfied with the answer.

He turned around and went to the large desk drawer.

He took out a list with a dark gold luster and a special material, and gently pushed it in front of Chen Xing.

"This is one of the rewards for winning the Freshman Competition: the right to choose any S-rank mid-grade martial arts technique."

"And for this exchange competition, the school will also give you the extra reward of a choice of any S-grade mid-level weapon."

"Come both together, you can choose whichever you prefer."

Chen Xing's gaze swept over the list.

The above lists the names and brief descriptions of all S-grade mid-level martial arts techniques available for exchange in the Shencheng Martial Arts Academy's martial arts library.

And the catalog of S-grade mid-tier weapons available for selection within the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

There are many kinds, from swords, spears, halberds to strange weapons.

It has everything from offensive combat techniques to movement and defense.

Martial arts...

Chen Xing pondered for a moment.

He possesses the divine powers inherited from the Great Sage, including the Nine Forms of Burning Heaven.

The top-tier combat technique, Blazing Inferno, and the even more profound staff techniques that Lu Ya is about to teach.

The demand for these mid-grade S-rank martial arts techniques on the list is indeed not high.

"Xiao Xiao,"

He asked in his mind,

"Can this qualification to choose an S-rank mid-grade martial art be converted into academic credits or other resources?"

"Huh?"

Xiao Xiao was taken aback for a moment, clearly not expecting Chen Xing to ask that, but she quickly recovered.

"Logically speaking... this kind of designated reward cannot be converted into cash."

"But Brother Xing, you have SS+ privileges, and you've done a great job this time..."

"I can try to make a special request to the academic affairs office for you! Wait a moment!"

"( • ̀ω•́ )✧"

She immediately connected to the internal network of Wuhan University in Shenzhen.

A special application was submitted in Chen Xing's name to "convert the qualification to choose an S-level mid-grade martial arts technique into academic credits".

The document also included Chen Xing's SS+ permission code and his achievements in this exchange competition.

A few minutes later, the application result was returned.

Xiao Xiao's excited voice rang in Chen Xing's mind:

"Approved! Brother Xing! The academic affairs office has given their approval!"

"They said it was because of your special circumstances and outstanding contributions to the school."

"By special permission, this opportunity to choose any S-rank mid-grade martial arts technique can be converted into 5,000 Shencheng Martial Arts University credits!"

"The money was transferred directly to your account! (≧▽≦)"

Chen Xing nodded.

Five thousand credits, though not as valuable as directly obtaining a mid-grade S-level martial arts skill.

However, at this stage, it is more necessary to freely exchange credits for other resources.

Moreover, it is more practical for him since he doesn't have high requirements for martial arts skills.

"I've applied to have the martial arts skill reward converted into academic credits."

Chen Xing said to Chen Poshan.

Upon hearing this, Chen Poshan raised an eyebrow.

But he didn't ask any more questions, he just nodded:

"Okay, as long as you have your own plans. What about the weapons?"

"Go to the Divine Weapon Pavilion and choose whichever one you like."

"A mid-grade S-rank item, that's something even many sixth-realm war gods covet."

"The materials, craftsmanship, and power are all unmatched by those mass-produced products on the market."

"Hmm." Chen Xing put away the weapons list and stood up.

……

Divine Weapon Pavilion.

Guided by Xiao Xiao, Chen Xing arrived directly at the top floor of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

The top floor space isn't particularly spacious, but the light is soft.

The air was filled with a faint, peculiar scent of metal and energy crystals.

Each weapon is unique in shape, radiating different attributes and powerful auras.

It was placed separately inside a specially made energy shield.

Knife, sword, spear, halberd, axe, hammer, whip, mace...

It has all eighteen kinds of weapons, and even some unusual weapons.

Each item has a holographic projection underneath.

It details the weapon's name, grade, material, characteristics, and suitable user.

Chen Xing's gaze didn't linger at all; he walked straight towards the area where club-type weapons were stored.

There aren't many club-type weapons here, only seven or eight.

But the lowest grade is A+, and there are two lower-grade S items.

There is only one S-grade medium-quality item.

It was entirely black and had an ancient design.

Both ends are wrapped with dark gold metal bands, and the shaft of the staff has a faint dark gold hue.

A long staff with intricate patterns that flow like dragons and snakes.

It floated silently in the innermost energy shield, emitting no light.

Yet, a profound and imposing aura, seemingly capable of suppressing mountains, permeated the air.

Chen Xing walked closer and looked at the holographic introduction below:

[Mountain-Shattering Staff - Mid-Grade S]

Weight: 1880 kg

【Material】: The core is a strange meteorite iron that fell from outer space.

【Material】: The core is a strange meteorite iron that fell from the sky, mixed with the essence of the arm bone of the sixth-order royal bloodline monster "Earth-Splitting Demon Ape".

It is supplemented with a variety of rare metals through casting.

【characteristic】:

Extremely heavy: far exceeding other club-type weapons of the same level, requiring extremely high strength from the user.

Armor Penetration: Made of special materials, it has a strong penetrating effect on energy shields and physical defenses.

Toughness: Combining rigidity and flexibility, it can withstand huge impacts without easily breaking.

[Special Effect]: When attacking, there is a small chance to trigger the "Mountain Shattering" effect, which temporarily ignores part of the target's physical and energy defense.

[Note]: This staff is extremely heavy. Unless you are born with superhuman strength or specialize in strength-based martial arts, do not attempt to use it lightly, lest you injure yourself.

No wonder it has the name "Shattered Mountain".

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Chen Xing's eyes.

He likes the weight.

Armor penetration and toughness are exactly what he needs.

As for the "shattering the mountain" special effect, it was an unexpected delight.

"That's it."
