Senior Expert

In early June 2015, the number of live streamers active in Dongguo had exceeded 300, but this was far from the limit. In fact, due to procedural issues, many more streamers who were determined to earn this money were in the process of obtaining visas, while many more were taking the A-level Martial Arts License exam.

During this period, the examinations held by the Public Martial Bureau across the country were almost fully booked. Even many people who had just obtained their B-Class License would tentatively sign up, not expecting to pass, but just wanting to experience the difficulty of obtaining an Class A license.

This has undoubtedly increased the workload of the Public Martial Bureau by more than one level. There are even rumors that the Public Martial Bureau has submitted an application to curb the current phenomenon of chaotic registration, including but not limited to raising the exam registration fee (refundable if passed, non-refundable if failed), requiring at least a one-year buffer between two exams, and requiring a certain period of time to obtain a B license before taking the A license exam, etc.

However, this news did not stop the trend of verification; instead, it attracted even more people to the Public Martial Bureau.

If it were merely about financial gain, it wouldn't be enough to cause such a frenzy. But the moment that Martial World Myth handed over the secret manual, everything changed...

"Tsk tsk, this is truly an unexpected delight..." Feng Xue, who was showing Chen Xiyao around the Eastern Kingdom exploring various shops, smiled slightly as he looked at the newly condensed Trait. He had originally intended to bring more experts to the Eastern Kingdom to cause trouble for Hundred Tales, but he hadn't expected to actually condense a single Trait—

Trait: Senior Expert

Tag: [Grandmaster], [Strong Person], [Senior], [Martial World Myth], [Playing the Game]

Synopsis: A martial arts master of unknown origin, who, despite his youthful appearance, possesses profound skills that are unmatched by ordinary people.

He possesses formidable strength, yet he prefers a carefree, playful lifestyle. Recently, he seems to have become obsessed with live streaming. Of course, he will also lend a helping hand when he sees injustice, and he will generously offer guidance to juniors he finds pleasing.

Legend has it that this senior was proficient in all kinds of martial arts. If you encounter him, you can challenge him. He will respond with a skill level similar to yours. If your performance satisfies him, you will receive a divine martial arts manual from him.

In addition, this senior artist often carried a Guitar Case on his back, but no one knew what was inside it.

Some speculate that he usually plays musical instruments like a stereotypical Senior Expert, while others think that it is his personal weapon, which he put in the Guitar Case to avoid suspicion.

Powers: [Senior Expert], [Martial World Myth], [Mastery of a Hundred Schools]

Real World Rules: [Martial Arts Live Stream]

Companion Phantom: [Musical instrument case/Weapon case]

In reality, this Weird Tale didn't bring Feng Xue much of a surprise, because it essentially overlapped too much with Xuan Jun's, and both its powers and strength were a notch below Xuan Jun's.

Of the three powers, he already possesses [Martial World Myth Senior Expert, and he is almost there as well. However, he is not limited to martial arts practitioners; as long as he unleashes his full power, anyone who sees him will regard him as a senior.

The only somewhat interesting one is the power of "Mastery of a Hundred Schools".

Under this power, Feng Xue can use any school of technique to reach the level of the school he is proficient in.

Just like how Feng Xue is far less proficient in spear, Saber Technique, and staff techniques than someone with basic Sword Technique and the Thirteen Swords of Life Taking, she is in other Sword Technique.

However, under the influence of this power, he can achieve the same level of skill with all kinds of Sword Technique, including swords, spears, clubs, and even Exotic Arts -section whips, and mantis knives. If combined with the corresponding martial arts, he can achieve the effect of "instantly learning all martial arts and bringing them to the level of his strongest martial arts".

However, although this thing sounds powerful, it is not actually a combat ability. Or rather, this ability is only used for show in combat. Its real value lies in "learning".

With this power, as long as Feng Xue cultivates one martial art to its peak, all other martial arts will naturally reach the corresponding level. Of course, as mentioned before, this will not make him much stronger in actual combat. Basic Sword Technique can use any weapon as a sword, and a set of Sixteen Sword Slashes of Life Seizure is enough to deal with trouble. If it cannot be dealt with, there is no point in changing to other weapons.

However, the way of martial arts lies in drawing inferences from one instance to another. Feng Xue's existing profound martial arts have basically broken free from their original constraints. The Mindless Divine Power has given rise to the Gu Poison Body, an External Incarnation. The Thirteen Swords of Life Taking have also introduced the sixteenth sword. The secret manual summarizing his own fist techniques has even been transformed into the Idealistic Martial Arts.

If one can broaden one's horizons, then creating new martial arts techniques based on this abundant food supply would not be a difficult task.

With this in mind, Feng Xue decided to nurture this power, hoping that it might eventually allow her to break through the limitations of martial arts and become proficient in any technique.

You should always have dreams!

As for the Descent Rule, there's not much to say. As long as there's a martial arts streamer broadcasting, he can have a Chance Encounter, and then, depending on his mood, he can send the other person some gifts or beat them up or something.

And as for Companion Phantom...

Name: Phantom Object - Instrument Case/Weapon Case

Elements: [Container], [Storage], [Items], [Convenience], [Unknown]

Synopsis: The Guitar Case carried by the nameless Senior Expert is said to contain a rare Divine Weapon, capable of producing music with a single tap, just like in Wuxia Novel. Others say it's merely an instrument the master uses for his own amusement, played in his spare time. But... it seems everyone's opinions are all correct?

Note: Although anything with the [musical instrument]/[weapon] element can be inserted, the weight will not be reduced.

Yes, that's right. Because Feng Xue often disguised the Orca Pillow as Guitar Case, he actually got a Guitar Case Phantom Object. However, this made it easier for him to increase his weapon reserves. Apart from the [Indescribable Rod-shaped Object] and [yellow clothes] which he still carried with him, he stuffed all the other weapons into the Guitar Case.

Anyway, when you want to use it, just tap it and it pops out—at least it's more convenient than packing it in Bundle Cloth and stuffing it into your waist bag.

"But speaking of which, I thought I'd be given a companion Phantom Object wife..." Feng Xue thought of the online discussions about Chen Xiyao, who was doing simultaneous interpretation for her, and a slight smile appeared on her lips. Seeing this, Chen Xiyao, who was beside her, couldn't help but ask:

"What are you thinking about? Why are you laughing so happily?"

"I'm thinking about whether to get a musical instrument or something and put it in the box. Come to think of it, playing the guitar at full power seems pretty cool... but wouldn't that look a bit out of place?"

Weird Tale absurd claim that Yan Country People Know Martial Arts has three main reasons.

First, the quality of this Supernatural Tale Itself is very high. Thanks to the promotion by Bruce Lee and countless filmmakers, the impression that Yan Country People Know Martial Arts is very common. Because it is so common, the source of knowledge is broad, and it can be considered a Weird Tale with a population of billions.

Secondly, what this Weird Tale achieves is not to directly grant abilities, but to grant "the ability to learn abilities." To put it another way, the amount of energy required to grant a person the talent of "being able to gradually reach the superhuman realm through cultivation" is obviously much less than the amount needed to create a superhuman.

Putting aside the Weird Tale the Superhero serum is far inferior to the martial arts skills of the Yan people, even if their [knowledge] is equal, the difference between creating a billion Esper and creating a billion people with cultivation talent is obvious.

Third, it defines the foundation of martial arts. If the foundational Phantom Object for martial arts is a Phantom Object like Jeet Kune Do or Baji, then everyone who knows martial arts would at most reach the level of Bruce Lee or Li Shuwen. However, the foundation for martial arts is the protagonist's "Peerless Martial Art." Therefore, the martial arts in this world start with High Martial. As beginners, there is obviously no comparison between beginners in High Martial world and beginners in a low-level martial arts world.

To put it simply, the serum is like the superpower development in A Certain Magical Index, while knowing martial arts means you're already on the set of The Sea Tiger movie. What level are the Level 1 and Level 2 characters in A Certain Magical Index? What level are the extras in The Sea Tiger movie?
