Chapter 284: A Buyer of Martial Arts Techniques
With a single punch, a loud boom reverberated.
Such a scene was shocking yet somehow felt ordinary.
After all, could the destructive power of this punch compare to that of a firearm?
Could it be as powerful as a construction worker lifting cargo, or even a truck?
Hmm... not quite.
It didn't even come close to the effects of consuming gene-enhancing drugs.
The Second Apprentice was both astonished and, at the same time, felt it was nothing out of the ordinary.
He's a genius... hmm.
"With your current progress, you've reached the entry-level. It seems I don't need to teach you anymore. If you have any questions in the future, feel free to ask me directly," said the Second Apprentice. "Xiao Li, take Qi Yuan to get a set of martial arts training clothes."
"Okay."
Everything that had just happened was uneventful, less thrilling than a celebrity's dog falling ill.
Qi Yuan followed the staff to get his training clothes.
At this moment, his emotions were far from calm.
Because, in that single punch, he had discovered something unusual.
The punch was ordinary, even falling short of the martial arts in the Guanglan Realm.
However, with Qi Yuan's exceptional observational skills, he sensed that this punch seemed to conceal something.
"This punch seems a bit different."
When he executed the punch, Qi Yuan felt a distinct difference from the martial arts in the Guanglan Realm and the martial arts on the Moonlit Continent.
Of course, it was just a feeling.
He couldn't pinpoint what exactly was different.
The main reason was that his current weakness prevented him from having the 'eye for detail'.
If he had cultivated his Dark Deity, he would have instantly discovered the internal issues within his body.
Even curses would be completely resolved, not just suppressed.
After changing into his training clothes, Qi Yuan entered the training hall.
The spacious hall was filled with men and women, totaling over twenty people.
Most of them were men, with significantly fewer women, making up only a quarter of the group.
"Hey, handsome guy?"
As soon as Qi Yuan entered, he attracted the attention of many.
After all, with Qi Yuan's looks, he had already drawn the admiration of many fangirls back in school.
If not for his mental illness, girls like Li Yan wouldn't have pursued him so passionately.
Sometimes, when a man exudes handsomeness, he realizes how forward some girls can be.
And those who could afford to spend their free time training here must come from well-off families.
Most of these men and women had outgoing personalities, and some girls boldly flirted with Qi Yuan.
"Newcomer, Qi Yuan, please guide us in the future."
Qi Yuan casually replied, found a corner, and began to study and cultivate the Bright Martial Resonance Fist.
"Handsome brother, I've been here a month longer than you. Do you want me to teach you?" A woman with a high ponytail approached Qi Yuan, her actions quite bold.
"Oh?" Qi Yuan looked at the woman, "You've learned well?"
"Wang Shiqiao is a genius with nine meridians. She's skilled," Wang Shiqiao's best friend said from a distance.
Wang Shiqiao turned to Qi Yuan and opened the window, "Look... this is the fourth floor."
Qi Yuan looked down.
From this height, an ordinary person might die if they jumped.
Could it be...? He looked at Wang Shiqiao with anticipation in his eyes.
"Watch my punch!"
At that moment, Wang Shiqiao shouted and delivered a powerful punch to the sandbag next to Qi Yuan.
The sandbag, under immense pressure, shook violently, appearing extremely powerful.
If Qi Yuan hadn't learned the curse and was still affected by it, this punch would have knocked him out.
"Good, well done!"
"This punch has a year's worth of power!"
The others clapped, enjoying the spectacle.
Wang Shiqiao looked at Qi Yuan with pride, "Doesn't my punch have power?"
Qi Yuan stared at Wang Shiqiao, his face full of anticipation, "It's powerful. Isn't it time to perform a jump from the building now?"
"Huh?" A smile appeared on Wang Shiqiao's lips, "I was just kidding. I didn't say I'd jump from the fourth floor.
Even the Eldest Senior Brother would need hospitalization if he jumped from this height.
You don't seriously think that by practicing the Bright Martial Resonance Fist, you can become a superhero and defeat gene warriors, do you?"
Qi Yuan frowned, "Is martial arts that weak?"
On his way here, Qi Yuan had heard that the Eldest Senior Brother of the Bright Martial Studio was the top practitioner in the studio, second only to the master.
This person had cultivated the Bright Martial Resonance Fist to the eighth layer, just one level below the master.
No wonder martial arts was merely a hobby, similar to fishing and fitness on Bluestar.
"Martial arts isn't weak. Our bodies are much better than ordinary people... and it's all-natural!" Wang Shiqiao said, intentionally pushing her chest out.
With the development of technology and the exchange of ideas on Canzan Xing, the atmosphere in the countries of Gongxing had become much more open-minded, especially among the wealthy.
"Where's the natural part?" Qi Yuan glanced at Wang Shiqiao's nose, "You've had plastic surgery on your nose, right?"
Wang Shiqiao's expression changed slightly, and she covered her nose with her hand, "You can tell?"
"It's so obvious," Qi Yuan replied honestly.
"Damn, it's been less than a year since I had the surgery, and someone can already tell. That damn hospital promised me it would look natural and unnoticeable. I'm going to give them a piece of my mind!" Wang Shiqiao said angrily and stormed off, seemingly intent on confronting the cosmetic hospital.
Qi Yuan turned his head away, ignoring the person, and continued his study of the Bright Martial Resonance Fist.
This set of martial arts techniques was a combination of cultivation methods and combat moves.
If it were the martial arts techniques of the Canglan Realm, Qi Yuan could master them after just one glance and execute them flawlessly.
However, the martial arts and cultivation methods of this world were different.
Qi Yuan could indeed perform the Bright Martial Resonance Fist.
But he needed to practice it regularly.
He realized that practicing this cultivation method was also a way to improve.
For others, improvement might mean mastering the moves.
But for Qi Yuan, it was something deeper.
However, he couldn't quite grasp it yet.
"Fists strike like spirits, vibrating in all directions... Push upwards and round to the right..."
Qi Yuan silently recited as he continued to demonstrate the Bright Martial Resonance Fist.
The martial arts techniques flowed through Qi Yuan's movements as he focused intently, practicing earnestly, and time flew by.
Sweat dripped from his forehead, but Qi Yuan remained oblivious, continuing to execute the set of techniques.
In the training hall, other students chatted and laughed, some sparring, others talking animatedly. Occasionally, someone would glance at Qi Yuan, but their gaze never lingered for long.
Not too far away, Qiao Wu stood behind the glass door, surveying the entire training hall.
Finally, his gaze settled on Qi Yuan, and a look of appreciation flashed in his eyes.
"It's rare to be so engrossed in martial arts in this day and age," Qiao Wu couldn't help but sigh.
He was the owner of the Bright Martial Studio, already in his fifties, but after taking gene medication, he stood like an immovable wall, exuding a powerful presence.
The second senior apprentice, Er Shixiong, stood beside Qiao Wu, watching Qi Yuan with a sigh, "What a pity, he was born in the wrong era. If he were in ancient times, with his diligence and talent, he might have become a formidable general, feared by all."
Qiao Wu nodded in agreement.
Indeed, the present era was vastly different from ancient times.
Martial arts had become mere decorations and small circles.
Qiao Wu, himself, came from a martial arts family.
His ancestors had even produced martial arts champions and generals.
But what about now? Decades of practicing the Bright Martial Resonance Fist had brought him less improvement than a single gene medication.
"He wants to participate in the Martial Arts Tournament? He's a promising talent.
It's been many years since we had a student from our Bright Martial Studio participate. If he joins, he might attract many people to our studio." Qiao Wu smiled and mentioned it casually.
The martial arts circle was a closed, small community.
Someone like Qiao Wu, who had taken gene medication, was not allowed to compete in the Martial Arts Tournament.
Otherwise, it would be unfair to the other contestants.
"Hmm, with his looks, if he enters the Martial Arts Tournament and makes it to the top 100, which will be broadcast nationwide, he'll definitely gain a huge following." Er Shixiong was calculating.
After all, people like Qi Yuan, with his good looks and dedication to martial arts, were rare.
"Top 100?" Qiao Wu shook his head, "His physical qualities are too poor; he probably can't even make it out of the city level, let alone the national level."
Er Shixiong smiled upon hearing this, thinking that he had been too idealistic.
Martial arts had limited benefits for the human body; it was better to eat more and gain some muscle and strength, which was more noticeable.
...
"Regardless of immortal techniques, my current strength... has indeed improved slightly."
After returning home, Qi Yuan took a hot shower.
He had sweated a lot during his training, and his whole body felt warm.
"This cultivation... seems to be related to blood."
Read the flawless version at 69 Book Bar!
Qi Yuan's eyes seemed to see through his own body.
During his martial arts training, his eyes had received some hidden information, and his blood had undergone some transformation.
However, the information he saw was limited, and he wasn't sure what changes had occurred.
"I need to quickly improve my cultivation strength..."
Qi Yuan sighed.
His current strength was too weak, and there were many things he couldn't accomplish.
But to accelerate his cultivation, he needed to spend money on materials.
"Should I set up a stall outside and work as a doctor?" Qi Yuan thought.
With his eyes and various skills, he could definitely be a doctor.
Although he didn't understand the illnesses of this world, he could diagnose kidney deficiency and use Daoist healing methods without issue.
"I should check if my cultivation methods are selling first."
With this thought, Qi Yuan logged into his account.
"Hmm... Someone rewarded me?"
Qi Yuan's eyes lit up.
He had set it up so that anyone who wanted to private message him had to reward him 10,000 yuan.
Unexpectedly, someone had actually rewarded him.
"As expected, this world is still full of rich fools!"
Qi Yuan was delighted.
He had made a sale! Looking at his account balance, which now had an additional 10,000 yuan, Qi Yuan felt a toothache.
"Taking half of the reward, this app is too greedy."
He complained, then opened the chat interface and immediately saw a message.
"Will you sell your cultivation method for 10,000 yuan?"
"9,999,900 yuan, non-negotiable. If you want to haggle, I won't bother with this deal."
(End)
"Qi Yuan casually replied.
He created this Divine Art, so the price is fair.
In the Canglan Realm, if the Super Invincible Explosive Art is complete, it could be a treasure worthy of a major power's heritage.
Even a regular top-grade Heavenly Art can't compare to it.
'Can we video chat?'
Soon, a message appeared on the other end.
'For a video chat, add my contact, but you'll need to send a reward of 100,000 first.' Qi Yuan responded.
He wasn't interested in video chatting with strangers for no reason.
Meanwhile, in a border town of Yue Lang Kingdom, a man in a black jacket squinted, deep in thought.
Beside him, a young man in a short jacket showed anger, 'This guy is definitely a scammer. He wants 100,000 just like that? Does he think we're fools? The rest of the art is probably fake.'
The man in the black jacket tapped his fingers on the table, still deep in contemplation.
'I have his identity information. If he dares to deceive me... we'll just go to Qin Yuan and bring him here.' The man in the black jacket spoke with confidence.
His identity was not ordinary; he was an arms dealer.
His line of work involved putting his head on the line, so he wasn't afraid of being exposed.
Besides, it was only 100,000.
'Transfer it.'
Without hesitation, he sent a reward of 100,000.
After sending the reward, he glanced at the young man in the short jacket, who quickly understood his boss's intention and hurriedly placed a large sniper rifle on the table.
The man in the black jacket was clearly trying to intimidate the seller.
After about a dozen breaths, a video call connected.
The man in the black jacket looked at Qi Yuan in his shirt, about to speak, when he heard the other party's voice.
'Five minutes. If you don't decide to purchase within five minutes, the deal is off.'
Qi Yuan's words surprised the man in the black jacket, and the words he was about to say were cut off.
But he didn't get angry; instead, he stroked the sniper rifle on the table, '100,000 for five minutes, Mr. Qi, your time is indeed precious.'
Qi Yuan wasn't bothered by his identity being exposed. After all, online information was like a sieve, and even a minor official could open a box for someone.
A few months ago, a minor official in Qin Yuan Nation used his privileges to threaten others online to open boxes for his idol, making headlines.
'You've made a fortune.' Qi Yuan replied honestly.
If they were in the Canglan Realm, anyone who received guidance from Qi Yuan for five minutes would surely advance a major realm, if not more.
The man in the black jacket studied Qi Yuan's youthful face, his expression turning complex.
Qi Yuan's confidence and nonchalance couldn't belong to a mentally ill person.
'The Super Invincible Explosive Art... can you show me more of the rest?'
After all, this was a deal worth a hundred million, and such a significant transaction required careful consideration.' The man in the black jacket put down the sniper rifle, no longer touching it.
To Qi Yuan, the sniper rifle seemed non-existent, and facing Qi Yuan, he felt more intimidated than when facing the top leaders of other nations.
'Is a hundred million a big deal? I've heard people set a goal of a hundred million.
If you don't buy this art, I might not sell it again.
I might not get the chance to sell it again.
You should seize this opportunity.'
Qi Yuan spoke casually.
He needed money, but he believed in acting on impulse.
For cultivators, making money was easy.
Plus, he had a year's worth of memories.
If all else failed, he could buy lottery tickets.
The man in the black jacket observed Qi Yuan, his mind racing.
A hundred million was no small sum, and even if he got it, it would hurt.
He hesitated, torn.
Should he... bring Qi Yuan in?
The young man in the short jacket stood by, his eyes anxious.
He felt Qi Yuan was a fraud.
But without his boss's approval, he couldn't speak up.
Just then, Qi Yuan spoke, 'You're in Yue Lang Country, right? I also need some unique plants from Yue Lang Country. If you buy my art, I can cooperate with you further.
I require some plants from your country. In exchange for my guidance, I can offer you money, or even some elixirs and pills... hmm, I can help you with your cultivation.'
Kun Qing Cao? The man in the black jacket was taken aback, glancing at the potted plant on the table.
How did Qi Yuan know about this? According to his investigation, Qi Yuan was just an ordinary citizen of Qin Yuan Nation.
How could he know about such a rare plant?
