I became a Sword Emperor in the Martial Arts World

Chapter 182 I'm going to take on ten!

"Identity verification in progress..."

"Welcome to the Tian Shu System."

After the hatch closed, Ye Qingzhou put on his helmet and then heard a pleasant female voice prompting him.

Immediately afterward, when he opened his eyes, he saw a magnificent and vast world.

Many semi-transparent panels began to appear around his body, recording Ye Qingzhou's physical data. In the face of the powerful Tian Shu system, his "secrets" were almost impossible to hide.

The indestructible golden body, the unyielding iron bones, the Five Qi Convergence, and other physical foundations and Qi cultivation were all exposed to the system's monitoring and listed one by one.

However, the power related to the mental level, whether it is the True Dragon Sword Intent or the Heart Sword Secret Technique, is not displayed on the panel data. Only Ye Qingzhou's mental power data is recorded on the panel.

At this moment, Ye Qingzhou was unaware that Wang Yin was so shocked by the data displayed in the system's backend that he remained speechless for a long time.

ID: Ye Qingzhou

Age: 17 years old

Life Energy Level: 432.71

True Qi Level: 338.56

Mental Energy Level: 451.29

"Life energy level 430? Mental energy level 450? Are you sure he's still human?" Wang Yin was even wondering if the system had malfunctioned.

However, after several tests, the Tian Shu system functioned normally.

"We have collected biological samples from Ye Qingzhou. He is indeed a human, and a pure-blooded human at that, without any bloodline genes from ancient mythological beings in his body."

"Then what's going on with his life energy level and mental energy level? He's clearly only at the professional level, but even his relatively weakest true qi energy level surpasses that of an ordinary master-level martial artist."

Wang Yin was filled with disbelief. He knew that the technology for measuring life, true qi, and spiritual energy levels was originally developed by the Western Kingdom.

Now, the Eastern Kingdom has also mastered this detection technology, which is used to measure the strength level of martial artists.

A normal professional martial artist at the first level has a life energy level between 10 and 19. Therefore, the highest level for a professional ninth-level martial artist is 99. If a certain value exceeds 100, it means that there is a chance to step into the master realm.

True Qi and spiritual energy levels are similar. After the primordial Qi merges with the essence, Qi and spirit of a martial artist, it will emit three different energy fluctuations, which will be manifested in the three attributes of life, true Qi and spirit respectively.

By collecting data, one can roughly determine the skill level of a martial artist.

Of course, every martial artist has different talents and strengths. Some people are good at external training and have strong muscles and bones, so their physique will be stronger and their life energy level will be higher.

Some people are good at internal cultivation, which means they have a higher level of Qi cultivation and can hold more Yuan Qi in their bodies.

Some people are born with exceptional intelligence and a strong mind. When they cultivate martial arts, their spiritual growth will be faster. For example, the masters of Sanqing Mountain and Fanjing Sect are martial arts experts who are particularly outstanding in refining their spirit. They can often defeat their enemies with just a glance or a thought.

But Ye Qingzhou's data is very abnormal!

His life energy level and spiritual energy level have even reached the threshold of the Grandmaster realm, and his seemingly weakest spiritual energy level is more than three times that of an ordinary master, reaching the peak of the master level, equivalent to the third level of ascending to heaven.

"What kind of cultivation technique does he practice? How can his life energy level and mental energy level be so high?"

Beside Wang Yin, Sun Ninghui, the leader of the military's research team, answered earnestly: "We tried to have the Tian Shu system analyze Ye Qingzhou's combat data in the Phoenix Cup. He should have cultivated at least three super-level martial arts techniques, corresponding to his essence, qi, and spirit attributes respectively."

"Super-level martial arts technique..."

Even Wang Yin, a master-level expert, was somewhat envious of Ye Qingzhou's opportunities and luck at this moment.

The higher-ups in the martial arts world have never disclosed a key secret about the ranking of martial arts techniques: cultivating high-level martial arts techniques greatly increases the probability of becoming a master, while studying super-level martial arts techniques is the broad path to the grandmaster realm.

It's not that practicing the six basic stances will prevent one from becoming a master or grandmaster, but rather that for most martial artists, aptitude and talent are limited. Therefore, learning higher-level martial arts techniques will lead to a higher potential for future growth.

"The characteristic of super-level martial arts is that there is no upper limit to growth. It seems that we have found the reason for Ye Qingzhou's abnormal data, but the secret of the Flame Emperor Sword is still a huge mystery."

As the head of the military's research project, Sun Ninghui was clearly very interested in the power Ye Qingzhou used to kill Li Yaoping.

Wang Yin's expression also changed, his look becoming solemn: "You mean, Ye Qingzhou has already mastered the Divine Weapon Emperor Martial?"

"That's right. Even if it's not all of its power, he's already able to use some of the Flame Emperor Sword's abilities. According to the analysis and comparison by the Heavenly Mystery Research Institute, the Divine Weapon Emperor Martial Arts is probably a more powerful force than Heaven-Rank Martial Arts, and such power has only been found recorded in Treasure-level martial arts so far."

A flicker of excitement and agitation flashed in Sun Ninghui's eyes.

Heavenly Rank Martial Skill!

Above the Super Rank, there is the Celestial Rank!

This power is currently confined to martial arts research institutions in major powers. Even within the martial arts world, it is only known to a few high-ranking individuals. Others have never even heard of it, as it is a supernatural power subject to strict official control.

Because Heavenly Rank martial arts are the ladder that allows martial artists to enter the realm of gods. Even martial saints find it difficult to obtain such vast power. This is a martial arts principle that only martial gods can master, and its power is beyond the imagination of mortals.

Currently, no one on the entire planet Earth has mastered any Heavenly Rank martial arts technique; they haven't even grasped the basics.

On the contrary, some powerful mythical beings have shown humanity the terrifying nature of this power.

Divine Weapons and Imperial Martial Arts are even above Heaven-Rank Martial Arts. Researchers at the Heavenly Mystery Research Institute believe that ancient Emperor-level powerhouses from Blue Star extracted a portion of the Great Dao principles and integrated them into the artifacts. When combined with specific cultivation techniques, they can unleash unimaginable and terrifying destructive power.

When martial arts are mastered to the extreme, they are close to the Tao!

"Are you sure Ye Qingzhou has mastered the Divine Weapon Emperor Martial?" Wang Yin's gaze was intense.

"uncertain."

The researchers shook their heads: "It's just speculation at the moment. After all, we found traces of innate Bing Fire Qi at the place where Ye Qingzhou and Li Yaoping fought. But if it were just pure Bing Fire, Ye Qingzhou certainly couldn't have killed a martial arts master like Li Yaoping who was good at defense."

Wang Yin nodded repeatedly upon hearing this: "That's right. Yan Qiang Li Yanwen can control the innate Bing fire, but he can only defeat Li Yaoping. He can't kill Li Yaoping who relies on the dragon vein to fight a defensive battle."

At this point, Wang Yin still felt extremely regretful.

Li Yaoping's martial arts skills allow him to utilize the Dragon Vein Gathering Formation at Wufeng Mountain and take advantage of the terrain to unleash combat power close to that of a grandmaster.

Although it can only be used for defensive and positional warfare, its effectiveness is still very significant.

That's why Lin Jianfeng and Zhou Ming were so angry when they learned of Li Yaoping's death, and they went straight to Ye Qingzhou to pick a fight, believing that he was weakening the human race's power.

"General Wang, should we take immediate action?"

"What action should be taken?"

"I believe that such a dangerous item as the Emperor Yan Sword should be contained by us. How could it fall into the hands of a high school student?"

Sun Ninghui spoke with righteous indignation, but what he truly desired was the power of the Divine Weapon Emperor Martial.

After all, no one has yet mastered the Heavenly Rank martial arts, but there have been successful cases of humans mastering the power of Divine Weapons and Emperor Martial Arts!

The Pantheon of Europe and the Crimson Sanctuary of the Western Kingdom are two super powers that have already possessed the powerful strength of divine weapons and imperial martial arts, which is why they can stand proudly in the world.

Of course, the Eastern Pole Kingdom also possesses its own divine weapons and imperial artifacts, which are controlled by the government.

Even so, these peerless divine weapons still attract countless people.

Wang Yin glanced coldly at Sun Ninghui, and shook his head without hesitation, saying, "The divine weapon has already recognized its master, and Ye Qingzhou has already received the inheritance of the Yan Emperor. The authorities would never tarnish their reputation and rules, so please don't bring up this matter again."

The Western Kingdom and Europe have proven with facts that divine weapons and imperial artifacts cannot be stolen. Even killing the original owner is meaningless and will only offend the master of the divine weapon, bringing about a great disaster.

The once-powerful nation refused to believe in this superstition, and to this day, the foggy city is still shrouded in an aura of death, never seeing the sun again.

Ye Qingzhou knew that Emperor Yan was dead and would not be resurrected or return, but Wang Yin did not know this and dared not gamble on it, so he would never want to seize Emperor Yan's sword.

If a similar tragedy were to happen again, no one could bear the responsibility.

Sun Ninghui was still somewhat unwilling and wanted to persuade him again, but Wang Yin refused to agree no matter what, making him anxious but helpless.

As Wang Yin turned to leave, Sun Ninghui cursed inwardly, "Fool! So pedantic! What's the point of talking about principles and rules at a time like this? With the power of the Divine Weapon Emperor Martial Arts, once we can control it, dividing land and establishing kingdoms won't be difficult at all. Such a good opportunity, and he actually gave it up! He's utterly hopeless!"

Ye Qingzhou was a commoner martial artist with no powerful backing or influence. In Sun Ninghui's view, Ye Qingzhou was just lucky to have obtained the Yan Emperor's inheritance.

If he could also obtain the Flame Emperor's inheritance, he would be even stronger than Ye Qingzhou!

The power of the Divine Weapon Emperor Martial surpasses that of Heaven-Rank Martial Techniques, and it is not difficult to control. As long as one holds the Divine Weapon and masters the corresponding technique, one can immediately obtain power comparable to that of a god.

This is much easier than painstakingly comprehending Heavenly Rank martial arts techniques, sublimating one's spirituality, and embarking on the path to godhood!

"No, the Flame Emperor's Sword and the 'Flaming Sun Treasure Seal' are right before our eyes. If we don't seize this opportunity, we'll only bring trouble upon ourselves. I can't let such a golden chance slip by!"

Sun Ninghui steeled his resolve, hurriedly left the base, and immediately took out a special cell phone, dialing the only number stored on it: "Hello, Commissioner Smith... It's me... Yes, I've thought it through, I want to cooperate with you now..."

After hanging up the phone, Sun Ninghui's expression turned ferocious, secretly gloating: "Once I get the Flame Emperor Sword and the 'Flaming Sun Treasure Seal,' I'll immediately hide away and study them. Once I master the power of divine weapons and imperial martial arts, will I still need to act according to others' wishes? Hahaha, a bunch of fools, they'll all be trampled under my feet sooner or later!"

…………

In the Tian Shu World, Ye Qingzhou walked with his sword in hand, his expression one of extreme joy.

"Battle is so enjoyable."

He leaped and covered a distance of 100 meters, rushing into an area densely populated with "wild monsters".

At this moment, Ye Qingzhou was holding the Flying Frost Sword and was surrounded by ten combat puppets, each about three meters tall. They were devoid of any emotion, and their eyes were extremely cold.

Combat puppets, Xuanjia Guardians!

Compared to these tall and strong Xuanjia guards, Ye Qingzhou looked like a dwarf.

The Xuanjia Guards are not just tall and imposing; they possess ferocious strength and agile movements. Their three-meter-long battle blades allow them to unleash various mid-level sword techniques at a proficient level. Under the system's coordination, they work together like a perfectly functioning machine, seamless and without any flaws.

"Haha, I'm going to take on ten!"

Ye Qingzhou laughed heartily, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

Clang~

The Xuanjia Guards showed no emotion whatsoever. Upon encountering Ye Qingzhou, they remained silent and immediately entered battle mode, wielding their alloy greatswords and stirring the air with a piercing whistling sound.

The ten Xuanjia Guards were each three meters tall, and their alloy battle blades were wider than a door panel, more than three meters long, and serrated. When they were swung, they created a whistling wind, and anyone who touched them died instantly.

bang bang bang~

The heavy footsteps pounded the ground, causing a violent tremor. The Xuanjia Guards were like small giants, yet they were extremely agile. They joined forces and attacked Ye Qingzhou.

"They are at least at the level of a professional ninth dan, and their physical strength is limitless. Their physical strength has reached the master level. Now, surrounded by ten times their number, even a martial arts master can only create distance first and then defeat them one by one."

Ye Qingzhou's mind raced, and he instantly assessed his opponent's strength, evaluating the difference in combat power between the two sides.

brush~

Swish swish~

Ten heavy alloy greatswords, gleaming with a chilling light, all roared as they attacked Ye Qingzhou, either thrusting or slashing, forming an encirclement to block all his escape routes.

Faced with such a crisis, Ye Qingzhou remained calm and composed, calmly and attentively observing everything around him.

Having spent several months on Earth, his strength was now vastly different from before. In addition, he had experienced countless battles in his previous life, giving him a wealth of combat experience. Even when surrounded by multiple enemies, he remained calm and composed.

Although the swordsmanship displayed by these ten Xuanjia Guards was only at the intermediate level, it had already reached the level of proficiency. Coupled with their excellent teamwork, even in the eyes of ordinary martial arts masters, it could be described as exquisite and ruthless. However, in Ye Qingzhou's perception, it was full of flaws and not worth laughing at.

brush~

With a slight shift of his foot and a subtle movement, Ye Qingzhou briefly entered a state of superhuman speed within arm's reach, nimbly changing direction and position to evade the combined attack of the ten battle blades in an incredibly unpredictable manner.

At the same time, Ye Qingzhou drew both swords simultaneously, like a white crane spreading its wings.

Clang~

Tianxing and Feishuang unleashed a flurry of sword shadows, their sharp blades drawing two graceful trajectories in mid-air, transforming into magnificent wings that slashed away all the incoming battle blades.

Ye Qingzhou's sword was as fast as lightning and as swift as a stream of light. His skill and angles were exquisite, instantly deflecting the sword attacks from the Xuanjia Guards. At the same time, his sword energy shot out in all directions, raining down on the surrounding Xuanjia Guards.

However, the sword energy only penetrated a foot into the Xuanjia Guardian before being blocked by the thick alloy armor.

"really."

Ye Qingzhou's expression shifted slightly, but he wasn't surprised: "These Xuanjia Guards are only at the professional ninth level in terms of strength, still a bit short of master level, but their outer shells are made of Xuan iron, so their defense is probably stronger than the true qi armor of a master-level martial artist, and they are skilled in combined attack techniques."

With such strength, even an ordinary martial arts master might accidentally capsize in a ditch.

Seeing that the attack was different, the ten Xuanjia Guards reacted quickly. They immediately split into two groups and launched an attack from both sides, flanking the cedar trees.

Ye Qingzhou's response was still incredibly skillful. He once again used the strange movement technique from before, moving between the blades and nimbly avoiding all the attacks.

This is a high-level movement technique that Ye Qingzhou developed through self-comprehension, combining the power of divine speed with the mid-level movement technique of "Following the Wind" and the mental illusion technique of Yin. It is called "Close at Hand, Far Away".

Ye Qingzhou even incorporated the stance training of the "Wandering the World with a Sword" technique, which allowed him to flexibly dodge his opponents' attacks.

So close, yet feels like worlds apart!

With the help of the Tian Shu system, Ye Qingzhou honed his skills by constantly using Xuanjia Guards as sparring partners, and quickly improved his proficiency to the mastery level.

"If it were a one-on-one fight, even with their thick skin and tough flesh, I could easily defeat these Xuanjia Guards. But if ten of them team up, with perfect coordination in offense and defense, even I would find it difficult to take them down easily."

Ye Qingzhou only glanced at it a few times, but he immediately understood the situation of the battle: "My biggest advantage is my speed."

The faster you are, the easier it is to dodge your opponent's attacks.

The battle continued. Despite being surrounded by enemies, Ye Qingzhou remained calm, wielding his sword with both hands, his movements agile and graceful, showing that he was handling the situation with ease.

The two sides exchanged blows for more than twenty rounds, and it seemed that the battle would continue to be deadlocked.

"A great opportunity!"

A sharp glint flashed in Ye Qingzhou's eyes. His sword speed suddenly increased, and Tianxing and Feishuang swept across the sky together, like cranes descending upon the land.

In an instant, the entire battlefield seemed to freeze, and the attacks of the ten Xuanjia Guards became incredibly slow.

There were only two sword lights, so fast that they were hard to see. Ye Qingzhou rode the wind and met the heavy sword that the Xuanjia Guard was slashing at. With a nimble turn and acceleration, he avoided the opponent's attack and at the same time swung a sword at ten times the speed of sound, which struck the chest.

Click~

The sword light, powerful enough to cut through gold and jade, instantly sliced ​​through the tough outer armor of the Xuanjia Guardian, penetrating three feet deep and striking the core of vital energy hidden inside the Xuanjia Guardian's body.

bang~

The Xuanjia Guardian was cleaved away by Ye Qingzhou's sword. After landing, it crashed heavily, causing a great tremor, and then shattered into pieces all over the ground.

"My skill 'Close to the Ends of the Earth' has reached its peak. The game is over."
