I became a Sword Emperor in the Martial Arts World

Chapter 179 The position of president rotates, today it's my turn.

"Ah! Ye Qingzhou!"

Lin Jianfeng and Zhou Ming felt incredibly angry and humiliated. Ye Qingzhou, whom they regarded as a lowly commoner, was now stepping on their heads.

"You're clearly useless, yet you have this inexplicable confidence. Where do you get the audacity to swagger in front of me?"

Ye Qingzhou exerted force with both feet, silently using the Thousand-Pound Drop technique to continue stomping their heads into the ground. He wanted to make them understand the principle that those who trample on others will always be trampled on.

Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can act tough in front of him.

Zhang Hong stood far to the side, anxious but not daring to intervene, fearing that the fight would affect him. Lin Jianfeng and Zhou Ming could withstand Ye Qingzhou's two bursts of martial arts energy, but his small frame might not be able to.

"No, I have to report this immediately, otherwise if someone dies, I'll be in deep trouble."

With that thought in mind, he quickly took out his phone and dialed Zhao Zhiyi's number.

At this moment, Zhou Ming, unable to bear the humiliation any longer, roared angrily, "Ye Qingzhou, you're courting death! Tian Shu, help me!"

"Tian Shu Combat System Activating..."

"Applicant Zhou Ming..."

"Identity confirmed..."

"Loading the acoustic combat module..."

A cold, emotionless mechanical female voice rang out from Zhou Ming, followed by a massive beam of light formed from the power of thought that pierced the sky, emanating from an orbiting satellite, spanning 35,000 kilometers, and shining upon Zhou Ming.

Then, hundreds of millions of nanobots flowed out of the tactical backpack behind him, transforming into a set of metal armor with silver-white wings, completely enveloping his entire body.

Thought-Powered Armor, Elemental Armor, Sonic Shot!

Boom~

The powerful mental energy was transformed into combat power, creating a strong shockwave that shoved Ye Qingzhou off Zhou Ming.

"You're going to die!"

Zhou Ming suddenly stood up, then leaped backward while quickly drawing his bow and nocking an arrow, aiming straight for Ye Qingzhou's face.

The trembling of the bowstring resounded through the sky, and the arrow reached a speed of three times the speed of sound, tearing through the air and igniting from friction. The power of this strike was unimaginable.

Despite his cultivation level being only at the professional level, the power of his martial arts techniques had reached the master level. This astonishing improvement revealed the for the first time the immense power of his mental energy armor to Ye Qingzhou.

"That's interesting."

Ye Qingzhou waved his hand and launched a sword counterattack, deflecting the arrow and directing it towards Lin Jianfeng, who had just stood up.

The latter was terrified and hurriedly summoned the help of the Tian Shu system. Immediately, a set of eagle-headed battle armor with wings covered his entire body.

Thought-Powered Armor, Elemental Armor, Feathered Forest Style!

This is a set of heavy armor, with significantly higher defensive capabilities than the Shooting Armor. The weapon has also changed from a bow and arrow to a technologically advanced silver-white spear.

Ding~

The silvery-white wings transformed into a shield, successfully blocking the deflected arrows. The immense impact forced him to retreat repeatedly.

The arrow, deflected by the wing shield, blasted a large tree in half nearby.

Lin Jianfeng's back was soaked with cold sweat. If he had been even a fraction slower, he would be dead by now.

"Ye Qingzhou, how dare you attack us!"

"That's ridiculous. Why did you dare to attack me before?"

Ye Qingzhou spoke with disdain, showing no regard for Lin Jianfeng and Zhou Ming's family background: "You inexplicably want to give me a hard time, don't you even know if you're worthy?"

"Old Lin, why waste words with him! You hold him off, I'll deal the damage. Once I've shattered his limbs, let's see if he still dares to be so arrogant!"

Zhou Ming's Sonic Armor spread its wings, and he soared into the air, hovering and moving nimbly to create distance between himself and Ye Qingzhou.

At the same time, he gripped the metal longbow tightly in his hand, his mind focused on Ye Qingzhou's aura, ready to launch a thunderous attack at any moment.

"Ye Qingzhou, you asked for this."

Lin Jianfeng had a gloomy face and was now in battle mode. His Feather Forest Armor was even thicker and heavier, clearly designed specifically for close combat.

"This is the Elemental Armor?"

Ye Qingzhou carefully examined the two opponents before him. Compared to the Divine General Azure Dragon's Yuanling Battle Armor, Lin Jianfeng's Feather Forest Style and Zhou Ming's Shooting Style were undoubtedly much weaker.

However, this exoskeleton armor, which combines technology and martial arts, gave Ye Qingzhou a sense of awe: "The power of thought and technology can be combined in such a way. It's truly an ingenious idea."

At this moment, Ye Qingzhou also understood that the Eastern Pole Kingdom did not disregard the power of thought, but rather followed a development path that was completely different from that of the Western Pole Kingdom.

The Western Kingdom still follows the path of achieving godhood through willpower, while the Eastern Kingdom combines the power of thought with technology to create the more controllable Elemental Armor.

Lin Jianfeng and Zhou Ming both possess master-level combat power at this time, but this is because the Tian Shu Combat System has granted them authorization to use the Thought Power Armament.

And this authorization can be revoked at any time.

Compared to unruly martial arts masters, the Mind Armed Forces are clearly a more easily controlled force.

Buzz~ Buzz~

Lin Jianfeng held his gun in his hand, his feet in a bow stance, his eyes like sharp blades piercing towards Ye Qingzhou.

His mastery of the Six Bows Spear Technique far surpassed that of Huang Dengfeng. At this moment, he was truly equipped with six bows, his muscles stretched and bones pulled, ready to unleash his power. His muscles were taut to the extreme, and all his strength was perfectly integrated into a single rope.

"Ye Qingzhou, take this!"

Lin Jianfeng exhaled and took a step forward. His muscles trembled instantly, emitting a buzzing sound. Then, his spear shot out like an arrow, thrusting straight at Ye Qingzhou.

At the same time, the wings on his back suddenly flapped, creating a violent swirling airflow, and he pounced down with the force of an eagle hunting a rabbit.

Although the Feather Forest Style is not as agile as the Shooting Style, it still possesses the ability to launch aerial attacks, and when combined with Lin Jianfeng's martial arts skills, it complements him perfectly.

The Six Bows Divine Sword, First Move: One Arrow's Foot!

"A great opportunity!"

With perfect coordination, Zhou Ming, who was airborne, fired three arrows in quick succession, two in the light and one in the dark, blocking Ye Qingzhou's movement and forming a pincer attack with Lin Jianfeng.

With open attacks in front and hidden arrows behind, if one is not careful, facing such a fierce attack, one will be crippled or killed.

Ye Qingzhou remained calm. He slowly raised the Flying Snow Sword in his hand and softly chanted, "The earth unleashes its killing intent, dragons and snakes rise from the land."

In an instant, the sword light flashed, and the surrounding world became completely silent, with only the sound of the sword resounding endlessly. A chilling killing intent permeated the surroundings, making people's hearts tremble.

When this sword is drawn, all things wither and die!

Within the dazzling sword energy, a picture of a dynasty's end, with war raging across the land and slaughter reaching the heavens, is reflected—a scene of dragons and snakes rising from the land!

The dragon roared, the python hissed, and the power of thought transformed into phantom images of dragons and snakes, emerging from the void and entering Ye Qingzhou's body, causing his killing intent and aura to surge instantly.

The financial backer's ruthless actions and the opponent's mentally armed forces represent the application of mental power.

Ye Qingzhou also used a similar technique, using the same method to enhance his combat power by channeling his mental energy into himself.

Clang~

With a single sword strike, the power of dragons and snakes intertwined on the blade of the Flying Snow Sword, unleashing a tremendous force that sent Lin Jianfeng flying back dozens of meters.

At the same time, three arrows struck Ye Qingzhou directly in the back, piercing through his chest.

Just as Zhou Ming thought he had succeeded, "Ye Qingzhou" suddenly exploded, and the towering flames and smoke caused Zhou Ming to lose his sight again.

"Another afterimage? Where is the real person?"

While he was still in a daze, Tian Shu detected Ye Qingzhou's location and warned Zhou Ming: "Oh no, he's behind me!"

However, it was too late. A sharp sword light cleaved through the air behind them and arrived with deadly force.

Incredible speed!

Blazing Slash!

Now empowered by the killing intent emanating from the earth, Ye Qingzhou easily broke through to thirteen times the speed of sound with his sword, and with just one strike, he cut Zhou Ming down from the sky.

The sword light transformed into a dazzling streak, tearing through Zhou Ming's Yuanling Battle Armor and exploding large chunks of flesh on his back, causing him to scream in agony as he fell from the sky: "Ah!!!"

"Zhou Ming!"

Lin Jianfeng, who had gotten back to his feet, saw his teammate was injured and his eyes instantly turned bloodshot: "Ye Qingzhou, you're asking for death!"

"You're the one who's asking for it."

In the blink of an eye, Ye Qingzhou had already approached Lin Jianfeng's left side at superhuman speed, and was only a few feet away from him.

"!!!"

Lin Jianfeng instinctively raised his hand and thrust his spear at Ye Qingzhou. However, the spear struck the illusory body again. The blazing fire exploded once more, and the flames instantly engulfed Lin Jianfeng's figure.

Ye Qingzhou appeared behind him. Now, he was becoming more and more adept at using the Yin energy to his fullest potential.

If the opponent's senses are not sharp enough, they will basically be manipulated by him.

The afterimages created by the five innate energies were so realistic that they could fool anyone. Ye Qingzhou could also use the characteristics of Yin energy to instantly become invisible, then break away from the battle and launch a sneak attack on the enemy.

Although the tactics were simple and brutal, they were always very effective in the tense and fierce battle!

Despite their formidable offensive power, Lin Jianfeng and Zhou Ming were unable to land a hit on Ye Qingzhou's main body, making the battle completely one-sided.

After a fierce exchange, both Lin Jianfeng and Zhou Ming were in a sorry state. Their Yuanling Battle Armor was in terrible condition, and they had lost a large number of nanomechanical insects, so much so that the armor was now "short in weight" and missing a large piece, making it impossible to cover their entire bodies anymore.

On the contrary, Ye Qingzhou stood with his sword in hand, completely unharmed, still looking relaxed and composed: "You two good-for-nothings, what other tricks do you have up your sleeve? Show me what you can do to make me happy."

"you!!!"

Lin Jianfeng was so angry he almost vomited blood. Ye Qingzhou's words clearly made him and Zhou Ming look like monkeys.

"I'll fight you to the death!"

Zhou Ming, being impulsive by nature, could not withstand such provocation and immediately wanted to rush forward and fight Ye Qingzhou to the death, looking like he was about to go mad with hatred.

Just then, an angry shout reached the three men's ears: "Stop it, all of you!"

This angry roar was like a tiger's roar across a thousand rivers, truly possessing the imposing power to swallow up thousands of miles like a tiger.

The newcomer was a towering man, over two and a half meters tall, standing like a small mountain. His skin was dark and shiny, giving him an impression of immense power and ferocity.

Black Tiger, Wang Yin!

He was the top expert in the Southwest Military Region, possessing a cultivation level of the sixth level of the Ascension Realm, standing at the peak of the Grandmaster Realm. Moreover, he exuded a strong killing intent, clearly having honed his skills through countless battles fought amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

At this moment, his anger was so intense that the pressure was like an earthquake, pressing down on Ye Qingzhou, Lin Jianfeng, and Zhou Ming.

Ye Qingzhou swayed slightly, then used the Mountain Dragon Technique to make himself as still as a mountain, standing firmly in place. On the other hand, Lin Jianfeng and Zhou Ming, who were already injured, were suddenly pressed down and forced to kneel on one knee, unable to move.

Behind Wang Yin, Zhao Zhiyi, the president of the Hunan Provincial Martial Arts Association, also stepped forward with a grim expression. His gaze first swept over Lin Jianfeng and Zhou Ming, and then he glanced at their "short-weight" Si Neng Armor. He immediately understood that this must be Ye Qingzhou's handiwork.

"Ye Qingzhou, why did you attack our own troops?!"

"Huh? They started it, saying they wanted to test if I was qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with them. I thought what they said made sense, so I tested them a little. I didn't expect them to be so weak. I didn't even have to exert much effort before they fell down. It's disappointing."

Ye Qingzhou shook his head, put on a regretful expression, and spoke with great seriousness.

Wang Yin's anger surged, but what truly angered him were Lin Jianfeng and Zhou Ming.

If you want to cause trouble, then so be it. It's not a big deal for martial arts practitioners to fight. At worst, they can just apologize afterwards.

But you started the trouble, and then you actually lost?!

I, Wang Yin, cannot afford to be disgraced like this!

In front of Wang Yin, Lin Jianfeng and Zhou Ming were completely different from their previous arrogant selves. They hung their heads, looking like two bad students who had done something wrong, standing in front of their homeroom teacher.

"General, we..."

"Shut up, aren't you embarrassed enough?"

Finally, Wang Yin turned back and gazed deeply at Ye Qingzhou before taking Lin Jianfeng and Zhou Ming away.

Ye Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief: "That scared me to death. I thought he would make me pay for the repair costs of the Yuanling Armor."

"Ye Qingzhou!"

"President Zhao, I can hear you, you don't need to shout so loudly."

"You almost caused a major disaster as soon as you arrived, and you're complaining that I'm speaking loudly?"

Zhao Zhiyi was so angry that he was blowing his beard and glaring. Luckily, no one was killed in the end, and Wang Yin did not pursue the matter. Otherwise, he really wouldn't know how to handle the situation.

"Otherwise what?"

Ye Qingzhou retorted nonchalantly, "I could stand there and take the beating without fighting back, but what if everyone says we martial arts association members are cowards?"

"When did you become a member of the Martial Arts Association? You weren't even a member!"

"President Zhao, don't worry about these details. Who knows, I might be in your current position soon, and then we'll all be on the same side, right?"

Good grief, you want to sit in my seat?

Zhao Zhi was furious. The young man in front of him was really arrogant and didn't respect his old leader at all. He kept asking to take his position.

You've already taken the position of president of the Hunan Provincial Wushu Association, so where am I supposed to sit?

Shall we sit at the children's table?

How shameless!

Being by Ye Qingzhou's side made Zhao Zhiyi feel like he was about to get high blood pressure. He then quickly called Zhang Hong over and arranged for Ye Qingzhou to cultivate on Qifeng Cliff on the second peak. He even arranged for people to block the road up the mountain to prevent any fools from messing with Ye Qingzhou and dying by his sword.

Zhao Zhiyi has now seen Ye Qingzhou clearly; he's like a firecracker, ready to explode at the slightest touch, and he doesn't know how to control his strength.

If he were to kill some member of the royal family, what would become of him as the president of the martial arts association?

The second peak, the residence of Qifeng Cliff.

Although it's located in the mountains, the living environment here is quite good, with all the necessary living facilities, so it doesn't feel harsh at all.

At this moment, Zhang Hong was busy helping Ye Qingzhou set up his residence with the members of the Martial Arts Association.

Ye Qingzhou casually asked, "Why did those two idiots come looking for trouble with me?"

"Ahem, I heard that Lieutenant Lin and Second Lieutenant Zhou have a good relationship with Master Li."

"Colluding with each other?"

"Ahem, we're just good friends."

Zhang Hong wouldn't dare to respond to such a question.

Regardless of what kind of collusion Lin Jianfeng, Zhou Ming and Li Yaoping had, it had nothing to do with him. Zhang Hong was just a handyman on the mountain and had no desire to get involved in the struggles of big shots.

Indeed, in his eyes, Ye Qingzhou was undoubtedly a big shot.

After all, he had just witnessed Ye Qingzhou brutally beating Lin Jianfeng and Zhou Ming, even stomping their faces into the ground.

Such a ruthless person, what else could he be but a big shot?

Even though Ye Qingzhou was only seventeen years old and still a high school student, Zhang Hong did not dare to underestimate him in any way. In fact, it was precisely because Ye Qingzhou was young that he had even more respect for him.

Seeing that he couldn't get any more information out of Zhang Hong, Ye Qingzhou waved his hand and said, "You can leave now. I'll call you if I need anything."

"Yes, I won't disturb Ye Qianlong's cultivation."

For the next few days, Ye Qingzhou stayed at Qifeng Cliff to cultivate and did not go anywhere, which relieved Zhang Hong, who was responsible for "keeping an eye on" him.

Ye Qingzhou didn't care about Zhang Hong's thoughts.

Ye Qingzhou stayed obediently on Qifeng Cliff not because he was obedient and afraid of being punished by Zhao Zhiyi, but because he found that there was a unique charm here that was very helpful to his martial arts cultivation.

Sitting in his residence, breathing deeply into the dragon vein below, Ye Qingzhou gradually entered a special state of cultivation.

Sometimes, he would stand on the cliff, facing the wind all day long, from day to night, without moving, as if feeling the rhythm of the wind.

Sometimes, he would wander freely in the mountains and forests, going wherever his heart pleased, aimlessly, as if he were just a tourist admiring the beautiful mountains and rivers before him.

Sometimes, he would sit on the edge of a cliff, holding his sword, for three days straight without eating or drinking.

Do whatever you want.

He seemed to have forgotten about cultivation, becoming a reclusive hermit, detached from the world.

As time passed, Ye Qingzhou gradually forgot about external things and gradually felt inner peace and natural rhythm. The five innate energies in his body also gradually evolved in the same way as the outside world and nature.
