Immortal Martial Arts: Sweeping Through Two Realms Starting from Reality Section 25

Jiang Shu spoke, he had no intention of returning to the classroom.

Today he learned too much internal information, and he also needed to digest it properly.

"Okay. You can still come back to school to visit when you have time. Principal, I wish you smooth progress in your Martial Arts cultivation."

He didn't keep Zheng Yanbo.

Nor did he keep Jiang Shu.

Zhang Taining couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He adjusted his mindset and watched Jiang Shu leave.

At this moment, outside the campus.

White clouds and green mountains, the sky is wide and the earth is vast.

A gentle breeze blew, rustling the leaves on both sides of the street.

Jiang Shu walked on the street, imitating a tiger's stroll.

He seemed lazy and weak, but in reality, his mind was highly concentrated. His body was poised, running the Hungry Tiger Breathing Method, ready to unleash a powerful strike at any moment.

Zheng Yanbo, residing in Shengjing, had seen too many martial artists. He would definitely know that the cultivation of the Horse Stance progresses from fast to slow.

From beginner to minor accomplishment, and from major accomplishment to perfection, both seem to be crossing a small stage.

In reality, the difference between the two is as vast as heaven and earth.

But even so, his words were mostly encouraging, saying that the Academy had hope.

It could be assumed that deep down, he also felt that entering the Academy was not an easy task.

However, what Zheng Yanbo understood was merely the progress of Martial Arts cultivated according to the Horse Stance.

He, Jiang Shu, never intended to reach the Full Body Vital Energy Circulation through the Horse Stance!

The Hungry Tiger Breathing Method.

The Hungry Tiger Sitting Cave Stance.

This was his current path!

Getting into a prestigious university was certainly good.

But how could it compare to the Academies, of which Xia Kingdom only had four!

If, before, wanting to get into the Academy was just to surprise his parents.

Then now, Jiang Shu truly had such ambitions from the bottom of his heart.

It was like wild grass growing wildly.

The Academy was definitely not a symbol of ability or status.

The Academy was resources!

Heaven and Earth Precious Medicine!

Exotic Beast Meat!

These were cultivation resources he had never even heard of in Pingling County.

Even if these resources existed, they would definitely be hidden deep within the county offices or in wealthy households, and would not be easily obtained by him!

And in Xuan Star, in Xia Kingdom.

As long as he got into the Academy.

Such resources would be readily available!

Martial Arts, one step fast, every step is fast!

Jiang Shu is determined to enter the Academy!

Jiang Shu left the school.

Silently.

But his deeds quickly spread from the third year to the second and first years.

Some students, who had initially wanted to transfer to become Martial Arts Students, became even more determined.

In their minds, pictures were being constructed.

Jiang Shu standing proudly.

Jiang Shu lifting a desk with force.

Jiang Shu talking and laughing with the principal.

Jiang Shu...

Jiang Shu was getting a massage.

"It hurts... ah... yes, right here... hiss..."

In the bedroom.

Jiang Yongyi, with his upper body bare, gritted his teeth.

Jiang Shu's extremely skilled massage techniques had gotten the blood flowing throughout his entire back, turning it a rosy red.

"Take a break, take a break. Xiao Shu, where did you learn these techniques? How are you so proficient?"

"Dad, I've been practicing martial arts for over three months. Practicing martial arts requires a thorough understanding of the body, so it's normal to know some acupoints. Your back is too stiff, it really needs more massage."

"Ah, I'm used to it. My body is yours to do with as you please. Xiao Shu, you say martial artists have so many benefits and good treatment, will our Xia Kingdom send martial artists to the battlefield?"

Periodically exhaling a deep breath, Jiang Yongyi asked, his back to Jiang Shu.

During the massage, his son had been telling him about the content of the lecture he attended today.

The divisions of martial arts realms.

The treatment of martial artists.

Xia Kingdom's emphasis on martial arts had completely overturned his understanding.

Without a doubt, in terms of benefits, martial artists even surpassed ordinary civil servants.

He just didn't know what they would have to pay.

There was no such thing as a free lunch.

Approaching fifty, he understood this principle very well.

"Dad, I don't think you need to worry too much. In the age of firearms, even a Clear Force martial artist, possessing over a thousand jin of strength, capable of shattering the air with a punch, how can they compare to sniper rifles and rocket launchers? If they were to go to war, trained soldiers would definitely be superior to a scattered group of martial artists who only rely on personal strength."

"The 'Yangwu Gold' literally means receiving benefits without giving anything in return. Dad, don't look at this ten thousand as a large sum. In fact, for martial artists, this amount of money is barely enough."

"The daily expenses for martial artists, food, clothing, everything, are more than ten times that of ordinary people. Dad, look at how many clothes and shoes I've changed, and how much meat I've eaten during this period. And I haven't even become a martial artist yet."

"Moreover, even if it really comes to the point you mentioned, where martial artists are sent to the battlefield, the situation must be dire. In such circumstances, as martial artists, wouldn't they have a better chance of protecting themselves than ordinary people?"

Jiang Shu explained as he continued the massage. He had directly applied for a high school martial arts teacher position, earning a 'Yangwu Gold' of ten thousand per month. In his opinion, this was just the most basic welfare.

If martial artists truly relied only on this income, they would only live slightly better than ordinary people.

It was far from enough to make progress in martial arts.

Just listening to the names of resources Zheng Yanbo mentioned was enough.

Heaven and Earth Precious Medicine.

Exotic Beast Meat.

From these alone, it was clear they weren't cheap items.

If one had sufficient talent, reaching the Full Body Vital Energy Circulation at university would allow them to enjoy several more years of Xia Kingdom subsidies, receiving a certain quota of Heaven and Earth Precious Medicine and Exotic Beast Meat at a very low price, or even for free.

But what about after leaving school and entering society?

Ten thousand a month.

In the face of the required cultivation resources, it was like a drop in the bucket.

"That's true. And that's only if one becomes a martial artist. Many people probably strive for years and still can't become one, failing to meet the most basic threshold and wasting a lot of investment."

"But don't worry, Xiao Shu. If you want to pursue martial arts, Dad will absolutely support you. It's okay if you don't become a martial artist; strengthening your body is a good thing. Don't end up like your dad at this age, feeling aches and pains everywhere, that's really not good."

"Is the money enough? Dad will transfer a few thousand to you. This is my little secret stash, don't tell your mom."

As Jiang Yongyi spoke, he picked up his old phone, which he hadn't replaced in three or four years, and cheerfully transferred six thousand to Jiang Shu.

"Thanks, Dad. Dad, you don't need to work too hard. Your son might have some talent in martial arts."

Bending down, Jiang Shu gently massaged his father's head.

Currently, he had only achieved Qi and Blood Transportation.

If one day he could cultivate 'force' and use it to massage his father.
