Chapter 280: Punch! Ten Thousand Dao Divine Martial God!
Chapter 280: Punch! Ten Thousand Dao Divine Martial God!
Tianyue City.
Junan Residential District.
The roar of a motorcycle reverberated through the streets, its sharp, clanging sound occasionally piercing the air.
The man on the bed had a pale face devoid of any color, except for his eyes, which were filled with bloodshot veins, giving him a terrifying appearance.
"Reset..."
The man trembled, feeling as if the world was growing darker.
Unconsciously, his hand reached for his phone, pushing it off the bed.
Contrary to his expectation, the phone didn't smash; instead, a pair of delicate hands caught it gently.
At that moment, the phone's screen lit up, displaying an unread text message.
Qi Yuan stared at the hospital bed, at the Primordial Seed who looked exactly like him.
A peculiar expression appeared on Qi Yuan's face, "He's quite sick... Could it be kidney deficiency?"
Qi Yuan had no medical knowledge.
Any illness was kidney deficiency to him.
The Primordial Seed also turned to look at Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan smiled at this.
The pale figure on the bed transformed into a drop of blood, merging into Qi Yuan's body.
Instantly, a vast amount of memories flooded his mind.
Qi Yuan's eyes revealed a curious expression.
"It's a world similar to Bluestar?"
"No, the technology here is far more advanced than Bluestar!"
"And... the universe!"
Qi Yuan drew back the curtain and gazed at the sky.
The sky was bright, and the stars seemed invisible.
But Qi Yuan still spotted numerous stars.
"Why hasn't my Stellar Core appeared?"
Indeed, his Stellar Core had not manifested in this universe, not even as a shadow.
"Is this world's universe different from the Canglan Realm?"
A glint of sharpness flashed in Qi Yuan's eyes.
However, he had a premonition that if he cultivated in this body to the Primordial Core Realm, then... his Stellar Core projection would also appear in this world.
According to the timeline, Ning Tuo should be free at that time.
He could summon Ning Tuo down.
After all, with the spiritual energy in his dantian, he could sustain Ning Tuo's presence here indefinitely.
Playing a game alone was never as fun as playing with someone else, right?
"But... this body is so weak?"
Qi Yuan looked at his reflection in the mirror.
After merging with the Primordial Seed, he inevitably inherited its condition.
He now resembled a sickly patient with little time left to live.
[Qi Yuan, afflicted by a mysterious curse. The body is completely weak, with an estimated lifespan of only 11 months.]
This was the hidden information his eyes revealed.
"A curse?"
Qi Yuan recalled the dream with the female doctor.
In the dream, there was that terrifying blood-soaked bird.
The curse on this body seemed to originate from that bird.
"I heard that bird's call before the world reset. It seems like an extraordinary bird."
Qi Yuan thought to himself.
In his current state, he couldn't afford to think too far ahead.
Looking at himself, he felt the urge to exercise, but even walking made him feel breathless, like a frail patient.
"I'm so weak now."
At this moment, a game notification sounded.
[Strengthen yourself! Become a true Human Realm Martial Master and Spirit Realm Martial Master, reaching the realm of Ten Thousand Dao Divine!]
"Ten Thousand Dao Divine?" Qi Yuan was stunned, "Is this game's task about punching?"
The technological level of this world surpassed Bluestar, even enabling interstellar travel.
Above Gongxing, there was another planet called Cansan.
This planet also had humans, and its technological civilization was more advanced than Gongxing.
On Gongxing, there was not only technology but also martial arts.
In Qi Yuan's memory, the martial arts on Gongxing resembled the martial arts in the mortal world of the Canglan Realm, but they weren't entirely the same.
Martial arts experts could leap ten meters, which was considered a minor achievement.
In contrast, the long jump record on Bluestar was around nine meters.
Thus, the strength of martial arts experts was limited.
Especially with the rapid advancement of technology, various high-tech weapons emerged, and martial arts gradually became a niche sport within small circles.
This was somewhat similar to the game of Go.
"Ling Yi, tell me about the Human Realm Martial Master, Spirit Realm Martial Master, and Ten Thousand Dao Divine."
Qi Yuan spoke, his voice weak.
Ling Yi, Qi Yuan's home robot, was also his guardian.
The parents of this body had died on a mission on Cansan, earning them military merits and leaving Qi Yuan with a considerable inheritance.
A downtown apartment with three bedrooms and a living room, along with a valuable robot.
The robot, designed in a cyberpunk style, opened the door, resembling a human in shape.
Although it was an intelligent robot, it was only slightly more advanced than the intellectually disabled people on Bluestar. The idea of it awakening its own consciousness was simply absurd.
"The Human Realm Martial Master is a legendary figure in the martial arts world, appearing one thousand three hundred and seventy years ago.
Accordingly to historical records, the Moluo Kingdom held a grand martial arts tournament, inviting heroes from all over to compete. The strongest among them would be crowned the Human Realm Martial Master."
The legend goes that if one could consecutively win a hundred of these tournaments and claim the title of Human Realm Martial Master for a hundred years, they would become known as the Human Realm Martial Master.
"I couldn't find any information related to the Spirit Realm Martial Master or the Ten Thousand Dao Divine."
The 1619 version of the book is error-free!
Robot 01 was connected to the entire network, and almost all the information available online could be found and organized by it.
"Are there still martial arts tournaments today?" Qi Yuan asked.
"Yes," 01 replied honestly, "The next martial arts tournament will begin in nine months and seventeen days."
"So, I have to win a hundred tournaments and become the Human Realm Martial Master for a hundred years to complete just a third of my task?" Qi Yuan thought to himself.
"What if... a hundred years is too long. What if Qin Yuan Kingdom is destroyed or Cansan Star is gone... How will I complete my task then?" Qi Yuan was conflicted.
After all, the relationship between Cansan Star and Bluestar had always been strained.
Seventy years ago, there was even a major war between them.
Friction and conflicts continued to occur over the years.
If another war were to break out and Qin Yuan Kingdom was defeated, how could there be martial arts tournaments? Qi Yuan pondered but didn't dwell on it too much, as it was still quite early.
"01, I want to cultivate martial arts. How do I get started?" Qi Yuan decided to take a look at the martial arts of this world.
After all, in his previous tasks, there were always game bosses.
But this time, there was none.
He was quite curious about the martial arts of this world.
"Apologies, Master. Your physical condition is extremely poor, and you are not eligible to cultivate martial arts," the robot 01 replied reasonably.
After all, Qi Yuan's current state was as pale as a drowned ghost, and he was out of breath after taking just a few steps.
"What if my health improves? How can I cultivate martial arts and where do I start?" Qi Yuan asked again.
The 01 robot bluntly answered, "Apologies, Master. You are a Type A3 Psychiatric patient and are not qualified to cultivate martial arts."
In Qin Yuan Kingdom, the actions of psychiatric patients were already restricted.
How could a psychiatric patient learn martial arts? No martial arts school would dare to teach them.
After all, what if they hurt someone? Qi Yuan was speechless. He looked at the certificate on his bedside table and said, "I'm not sick."
"01 understands your dilemma, Master. Please accept reality. In fact, psychiatric patients in Qin Yuan Kingdom receive many benefits.
Not only can they receive monthly subsidies, but they also enjoy special privileges in certain matters."
"Hmm?" Qi Yuan was stunned when he heard this, "Psychiatric patients actually have so many advantages? Doesn't that mean I can pretend to be a psychiatric patient?"
He already had a certificate for his condition, so pretending to be a psychiatric patient shouldn't be too difficult.
His only fear was that his acting skills weren't up to par and he might not be convincing.
"01, how much cash do I have at home right now?" Qi Yuan asked.
Indeed, he was currently very weak.
If he attempted martial arts recklessly, he might even die.
So, Qi Yuan's plan was to first enter the Immortal Path, solve his physical issues, or summon the projection of the Star Core.
That way, he would have the strength to protect himself and then pursue martial arts.
"There's still 137,200 Qin Yuan coins left," 01 replied honestly.
"Alright, buy me some things..." Qi Yuan instructed.
He was about to start his cultivation journey, and to do it quickly, he needed external aids.
He told 01 about the materials he required.
"Master, at 4:10 PM, your classmate will come to visit you," 01 reminded him.
After graduation, the class monitor entered the system. Qi Yuan, being a descendant, was visited by some old classmates organized by the monitor after his illness.
Qi Yuan glanced at his phone and saw that it was still an hour away from 4:10 PM.
"Don't worry, I'm doing fine. I can handle hosting some guests. You go ahead and buy the materials," Qi Yuan assured.
With the instructions, 01 left the room.
Qi Yuan stared at 01's receding figure, his eyes filled with contemplation.
"The Canglan Realm, Mundane Heart Realm, Liufeng Realm, and even the Moonlit Continent, all use the same language.
And on Bluestar, there are other languages. How strange."
PS: Apologies for the illness, I owe seven chapters, to be repaid later.
