Why did you provoke that old man? He's a reincarnation of a deity!

Did Meng Chenhai read Li Hongzhong's handwritten copy of "Tongmai Xinbian"? Would he know the contents of "Tongmai Xinbian"?

Jiang Youwei stared at Xiao Nian and asked, word by word, "Meng Chenhai, who told you about these methods?"

"It was Xiao Nian, the Martial Emperor who broke through the limits, who told me," Xiao Nian said casually.

The method of Nirvana and rebirth is something I practice myself; I don't need anyone to tell me.

Xiao Nian, the Martial Emperor who broke through limits! The number one martial artist who fell in Kunlun Mountain in the 354th year of the Great Xia Dynasty! That peerless genius who broke through to the Meridian Opening stage at the age of twenty, opened the Meridian Passage at the age of twenty-three, and broke through limits at the age of twenty-five! What did he tell Old Man Meng?

Stop bragging!

The instructors below the stage erupted in commotion, and Qian Dazhuang even jumped up and started cursing:

"You old geezer, Xiao Nian, the Martial Emperor who has broken through the limits, is not someone you can fool."

"After Lü Bu died, everyone said he could beat Lü Bu, which is ridiculous."

Upon hearing this name, Jiang Youwei's hands trembled slightly. He was her idol, her dream lover!

After a while, she calmed herself down and thought that Old Man Meng was much older than Xiao Nian, so it was normal for Xiao Nian to tell him that.

Jiang Youwei's lips twitched, but she didn't press him further. She just gave him a deep look.

She had been a senior instructor for two years, and Old Man Meng was the only student who made her suffer a setback for the first time. Moreover, this involved Xiao Nian, a Martial Emperor who had broken through the limits, which made her very uncomfortable.

"Not bad. But you can learn all this theoretical knowledge by reading a book; theory alone is useless. How about we make a bet with the teacher?" Jiang Youwei said, barely suppressing her shock.

Xiao Nian raised an eyebrow: "What are we betting on?"

He was still confident in his complete knowledge of the Blue Star, as his travels after the return of the True Immortal had given him a thorough understanding of the entire planet.

"I bet you can skip the instructor assessment for three years and won't have to attend my classes anymore." Jiang Youwei held up three fingers.

"The condition is that you can ask any question about martial arts or magic, and if I don't know the answer, you win. But if I can answer your question immediately, you'll need to remain a trainee instructor for a year."

Upon hearing this, the whole class erupted in uproar.

Every instructor in the academy faces assessment pressure, which depends on the success rate of their students. The probability of your students advancing to the Body Tempering stage within a year, and the probability of them becoming Open Meridian Martial Masters, are all factors to consider. Being exempt from assessment for three years means you can simply coast along in the academy for three years and collect a salary for free.

To remain an intern for a year? That would mean a 50% pay cut for that year. That kind of gamble is far riskier.

"That kid's finished. Teacher Jiang's martial arts theory is second to none in the whole school. He's an eighty-year-old man, his head is all fuzzy, what can he compare to our beautiful Jiang?" Qian Dazhuang whispered gloatingly.

"Okay. But let's have Teacher Jiang ask me questions instead. It's too unfair of me to ask you questions."

The entire room erupted in uproar. Everyone knew that Instructor Jiang's knowledge base was definitely richer than Xiao Nian's. She asked first, and Xiao Nian could barely answer.

"You're bullying me?" Jiang Youwei laughed angrily. This old man really didn't know his place. No matter how old he was, could he eat?

"Then please go ahead, teacher." Xiao Nian had a confident expression on her face.

Jiang Youwei was amused by his attitude. In all her years of teaching, this was the first time she had ever seen someone so arrogant. Even his idol, Emperor Wu, Xiao Nian, wouldn't dare to act like this. Since you're courting death, then she'll grant your wish.

"Since you're so knowledgeable about martial arts theory, let me ask you an even more difficult question."

Jiang Youwei put down the "Martial Arts Manual" in her hand and looked directly at Xiao Nian.

"As far as I know, in recent years, magicians from foreign powers have combined magic with martial arts, creating a technique that cultivates both magic and martial arts simultaneously. This technique allows martial artists to use their blood and qi to power magic in battle, and to use magic to strengthen their physical bodies, thus multiplying their power. However, our Eastern martial arts world still does not have a systematic method for cultivating both magic and martial arts simultaneously."

She asked, enunciating each word clearly, "Is there a solution to this problem?"

All thirty-odd students in the class turned to look at Xiao Nian.

This problem remains unsolved. For a martial arts master to become a magician, they must learn magic after opening or unblocking their meridians. Most people specialize in learning magic, while cultivating different systems like immortality is too time-consuming and energy-draining.

If you cultivate both magic and martial arts, you can solve the problem of incompatibility between different systems.

That's a problem that's giving the entire Eastern martial arts world a headache.

Qian Dazhuang's lips curled up again, just waiting to see Xiao Nian make a fool of herself.

Xiao Nian remained silent for two seconds.

Then he spoke.

"There is a solution, of course."

"You old geezer, what a boastful old man!"

"Old man, you can't talk nonsense. This kind of problem is not something you can solve."

"You should just stick to being a good intern instructor."

The crowd roared in anger.

Jiang Youwei's pupils suddenly contracted.

"The essence of cultivating both magic and martial arts is the fusion of two energy systems. Qi and blood belong to Yang, while spiritual power belongs to Yin. Only when Yin and Yang are in harmony can they coexist."

"To achieve synergistic cultivation, we need a balance point, using elements as a medium to transform Qi and blood into an intermediate form driven by spiritual power."

He walked to the front of the classroom, took the chalk from Jiang Youwei's hand, and Jiang Youwei was taken aback but did not stop him.

Xiao Nian drew a Tai Chi symbol representing the two poles of Yin and Yang on the blackboard.

"When martial arts cultivation reaches the True Qi Realm, a core of True Qi will condense in the dantian. This core of True Qi is actually a product of highly concentrated Qi and blood. If spiritual power is added to guide this core, it will form a Tai Chi shape, simultaneously containing the Yang of Qi and blood and the Yin of spiritual power, thus forming a fusion of Qi and spirit."

"This is called Dan."

"Once the elixir is completed, the martial artist can use their mental power to manipulate true qi, and also use true qi to strengthen their mental power. At that point, they can cultivate both magic and martial arts."

The theory Xiao Nian mentioned also applies to cultivation. The smooth transition from martial arts to immortality also requires the True Qi stage. After the transition, you will be in the Foundation Establishment stage, and you will also be a martial arts cultivator and an immortal cultivator.

"The principle has been explained." Xiao Nian patted the chalk dust off his hands.

Everyone was stunned. What he said was as good as nothing. The True Qi Realm was something that anyone could reach.

"You old codger, you never even think before you start bragging."

"Yes, yes, yes, deliberately say it's the True Qi Realm, so that no one present can do it."

"You think we're fools?"

"You old geezer, get down here! Don't delay Jiang Meinu's lecture!"

Xiao Nian smiled, her aura suddenly surging, giving her an air of invincibility and dominance over the universe.

"You can't talk about the sea with a frog in a well, and you can't talk about ice with a summer insect. Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't. Your vision is ridiculously narrow."

Everyone was suddenly stunned by his imposing manner.

Jiang Youwei was so shocked that her whole body stiffened.

She understood. She understood everything Old Man Meng said! She had heard her master, Li Hongzhong, mention this method before, but she had never heard it in such detail.

If this works, it will open a new door for the entire Eastern martial arts world! Eastern martial artists will be able to forge their own path!

"Is there a specific way to implement this method?" After a long silence, Jiang Youwei asked, her voice trembling slightly.

She felt a surge of excitement, but also great shock. The old man, whom she had always considered a fraud, actually possessed such extensive theoretical knowledge.

No one has replied yet.

"Huh? Where's Old Man Meng?" Jiang Youwei was immediately furious. Old Man Meng had actually skipped class, which was of course unacceptable in her class.

"He just went out," a teacher said hesitantly, looking at Jiang Youwei with some fear in his eyes.

"He just ignored me and walked away during class. That old man is so disrespectful to his age!"

Jiang Youwei raised an eyebrow, and her aura suddenly erupted. The martial artists present who had opened their meridians all felt a jolt in their hearts, fearing that she might take her anger out on them.

One of the bolder instructors said timidly, "Didn't you say that if he won the bet with you, he wouldn't have to attend class? If it were me, I would have left too."
