All the Martial Artists in the World Can Go Farm!

Li Hu did not even know what words to use to describe how he felt at that moment.

He vaguely remembered that when he had used a Mind Stone to test his aptitude, it had given off a faint orange glow, like a firefly.

But Su Tu? He was like a fucking LED searchlight, so bright that Li Hu was practically tearing up.

And—

"No, this isn't right, this isn't right!!!"

Li Hu's expression suddenly changed. He looked at the faint rays of light that seemed to rise from Su Tu's body. Wasn't this the state of Dao Gathering??

"Little Junior Brother, have you gathered Dao before?"

Li Hu blinked a few times, then lowered his head to look at the unopened silver case in his hands, feeling a headache coming on.

"This Dao Gathering process... isn't what I learned."

He held his head and suddenly understood Zhou Wuliang's troubles.

To let Su Tu gather Dao ahead of time, he had made all kinds of preparations. He had even paid extra for the Heart and Mind Incense. But now he was being told that Su Tu could gather Dao without needing any of it??

Was that right??

How could that be right?

This process was all wrong!!

For beginners gathering Dao, they needed to use Heart and Mind Incense to stabilize their minds, then use a weak-current Mind Power helmet to stimulate the cerebral cortex, bringing their minds into a relatively balanced state. Only then could they observe a Secret Painting and gather Dao.

Even if you had encountered a Secret Painting before, you still needed to go through these fucking steps! Yet here you were, just sitting there holding a stone and gathering Dao. It really made every other martial artist look like an idiot!

Li Hu only felt that his thoughts were far too chaotic right now.

Meanwhile, Su Tu had already arrived atop that strange mountain range. The moment he entered, he sensed the changes here. This world seemed to have come alive. Unlike its previous deathly stillness, this space was now filled with an inexplicable vitality.

Although everything remained motionless, it carried a sense of "presence." If standing here before had felt like being inside a 3D projection, then now, this place felt like a world that truly existed.

The qi within his body flowed slowly. In this world, he felt an indescribable comfort.

It was as though he were immersed in a hot spring at all times. That special breathing rhythm had been engraved into his body like instinct. With every breath in and out, it felt as though he himself was undergoing some kind of transformation.

So this is the effect of increasing Dao Gathering Proficiency? It feels so much more comfortable than before, Su Tu thought with a sigh.

Unfortunately, the feeling did not last long before waves of repulsive force came over him. He understood that his time gathering Dao was up.

Still, it was indeed time to wake up. He had not intended to enter the Dao Gathering state in the first place. His original plan had been to try again that night and see whether he could exploit a bug to gather Dao in his dreams. Yet the Mind Stone seemed to possess some kind of guidance, inexplicably leading him into Dao Gathering.

You have completed one session of deep Dao Gathering. Dao Gathering Proficiency +20

Dao Gathering (Beginner): 80/300

The system settlement notification appeared the instant he opened his eyes. Su Tu closed the window, only to see Li Hu's huge face practically pressed against his own.

Suppressing the urge to punch him, Su Tu said, "What is it, Brother Tiger? Is my Mind Power aptitude really bad? Your expression looks a little strange."

The moment Li Hu heard that, he nearly lost it.

Your Mind Power aptitude was bad??

If yours was bad, then what the fuck was I? Why would I even keep practicing martial arts? I might as well go home and farm. No, not just me—the entire Federation probably wouldn't have many martial artists left. Everyone should pack up and go farm!!

"No, no, no. Your aptitude... well." Li Hu looked constipated. He wanted to imitate Zhou Wuliang's calm, casual manner and say that Su Tu's talent was passable, so he would not become anxious.

But he simply could not say something like that.

"Your aptitude is a little too fucking good!" In the end, that was all he managed to force out.

"That's good, then. Otherwise, Brother Tiger's effort would have gone to waste." Su Tu smiled lightly. The other man had only been willing to invest extra because of his aptitude, so it was naturally best if he met the requirements.

"Little brother, did you see a Secret Painting and gather Dao before?" Li Hu asked.

Su Tu recalled the painting he had seen in Lin Feiyang's office that day and answered honestly, "I did see a painting in Brother Feiyang's office. It should have been the Secret Painting you mentioned."

"Oh, oh! Mr. Lin helped you gather Dao. Then that's normal. Mr. Lin isn't an ordinary person." Li Hu spoke in sudden realization.

Lin Feiyang was no ordinary person. He was the Martial Examination administrator overseeing the entire North Sea. Once the Martial Examination began, he would directly be touched by fortune. Countless people coveted that position, and the fact that Lin Feiyang could occupy it already said enough.

If someone like that had helped Su Tu gather Dao, he naturally would have had his own methods.

"Actually, it wasn't really Brother Feiyang helping me. I went to look for him that day, but he wasn't in his office. I accidentally saw that painting and entered a space. Now, whenever I think of that painting, I enter that space.

"Still, Brother Feiyang must have deliberately let me see it. I owe him a great deal."

Su Tu spoke with a touch of emotion. With the methods Lin Feiyang had displayed so far, if he had not wanted Su Tu to see that painting, there was no way Su Tu could have seen it.

But Li Hu, upon hearing Su Tu's words, had no time to feel sentimental.

His eyes suddenly widened, filled with disbelief. The way he looked at Su Tu was like he was looking at a monster.

"You're saying that you only glanced at the Secret Painting once and entered a special space?"

"That's right."

"Then now, when you recall that painting, you can still enter that space!!!" Li Hu's voice rose, even turning shrill. It did not suit his image at all.

"Is there a problem?" Su Tu also sensed that something was wrong. He thought there might have been a problem with his method of gathering Dao and could not help asking.

But the corners of Li Hu's mouth twitched slightly.

"There's a huge problem, but the one with the problem isn't you. It's me."

"You're making me feel like an idiot."

"No, you're making all of us martial artists feel like idiots!!" Li Hu said bitterly.

"Fuck it, I declare that Mind Power isn't the domain of geniuses. Mind Power is Su Tu's domain!"

At that moment, Li Hu truly could not hold himself together anymore. When Su Tu had previously displayed that terrifying physical talent, he could still view it calmly. But now, he genuinely felt that this was far too absurd.

The path of Mind Power was mysterious and unpredictable. A single misstep could cause one to lose oneself in the Other Shore.

Generally speaking, after one's Heart and Mind Height became sufficiently high, one needed Heart and Mind Incense and a weak-current Mind Power helmet for guidance before attempting to observe a Secret Painting. Once they could perceive the marvel within the Secret Painting,

they would then try to memorize that marvel from the painting. Afterward, they would repeatedly use the weak-current helmet to stimulate the cerebral cortex and comprehend the marvel until they could glimpse the Secret Painting's marvel within their minds whenever they wished.

Finally, they would attempt to use Mind Power to construct the marvel within the Secret Painting inside their own minds, ultimately forming a world of their own.

It was a long process. Martial artists who could enter their own worlds were generally considered to have rather high Mind Power talent, yet even they needed several months to construct their own worlds. Those without aptitude could not even manage the first step of glimpsing a Secret Painting.

And Su Tu had not used any equipment for assistance, had not received guidance from any expert, and had merely glanced at it once before directly constructing a world of his own...

What was there even to say?

Li Hu now felt that the mysterious ruins did not seem so appealing anymore. All he had to do was tightly hug his little junior brother's thigh!!

What Martial Dao prodigy, titled martial artist, myriad stars and heroes, Ten Heavens Martial Clan—once my little junior brother steps into the stars, what the fuck are any of you!
