Advanced Student, Luo Feng

The day after tomorrow was the Quasi-Warrior Assessment. Only by continuing to train in the Tai Chi Breathing Body-Tempering Art could he be fully confident of passing.

With that in mind, Jiang Li entered a state of cultivation.

As he continuously circulated the technique, the energy drifting through the world was drawn into his body.

The cells that had lain dormant within him came alive, greedily absorbing the energy.

After an unknown length of time, he stopped.

He opened the chat group.

[Zixia Gentleman Sword: Do you think the Devourer Lord just ripped off Taoist Zhang for a cultivation technique?]

[Wudang Centenarian: You shouldn't put it that way. We were brought together here by fate, after all. It's just an ordinary technique; it's not worth much.]

[Peach Blossom Island Little Chef: But he got the world's will to bless him! Have any of you ever met someone like that? Maybe everything he said was true. Maybe he knows our backgrounds and where we come from.]

Jiang Li skimmed through the messages, then immediately uploaded the Tai Chi Breathing Body-Tempering Art.

First things first: he needed to earn some points.

[Zixia Gentleman Sword: ...Anyway, everyone should be careful. Keep a close eye on your secret manuals.]

[Devourer Lord uploaded the Tai Chi Breathing Body-Tempering Art, worth 500 points]

[Peach Blossom Island Little Chef: Speak of the devil, and he appears. The man himself is here.]

[Zixia Gentleman Sword: @Devourer Lord, you finally showed up. We've all been waiting for you.]

[Wudang Centenarian: @Devourer Lord, you said you knew where we came from. Please enlighten me, and this old Taoist will surely repay you handsomely!]

[Jiang Li uploaded the memories of Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Saber. They matched the soul imprint of group member "Wudang Centenarian." "Wudang Centenarian" could download them; no one else could.]

[Jiang Li uploaded the memories of Legend of the Condor Heroes. They matched the soul imprint of group member "Peach Blossom Island Little Chef." No one else could download them.]

[Jiang Li uploaded the memories of Spider-Man. They matched the soul imprint of group member "I Am Spider-Man." No one else could download them.]

Jiang Li turned his memories into videos and uploaded them to the group files. Now that they were all in the Myriad Worlds Chat Group, it didn't matter what kind of people they were.

Since they had minds of their own, each of them was a living, breathing person.

Chapter 3: Advanced Student, Luo Feng

A moment later, the chat group started buzzing with activity.

[Zombie Taoist: ...So those two disciples of mine really are a pair of scoundrels!]

[Peach Blossom Island Little Chef: Good heavens! I'm actually going to marry such a dull, clueless man? This Guo Jing sounds like a complete idiot! Flailing.jpg]

[Wudang Centenarian: I wondered if we just shared the same name, but now I'm sure. You're Guo Xiang's mother... This is incredible. I even met you when you were middle-aged.]

[Peach Blossom Island Little Chef: Well, would you look at that! There's someone in the group who's going to court my future daughter?!]

Seeing the two of them talking, Jiang Li couldn't help but laugh.

A centenarian Taoist meeting the young mother of his goddess.

Tsk... It felt like there was enough material there for an entire saga of love, hate, and adventure.

[I Am Spider-Man: So that's how I got bitten by the spider.]

[Zixia Gentleman Sword: Damn Feng Qingyang! He wouldn't even pass down the Dugu Nine Swords to me. Now I'm reduced to a laughingstock, even though I'm a sect leader!]

[Heaven and Earth Infinite Borrowing Method: Wait, was that damned scholar serious? He went to a world full of demons and monsters just to fall in love?]

The group fell into a state of disbelief.

Jiang Li, however, paid none of it any mind.

He now had 500 points.

First, he needed to improve his strength.

Without a moment's hesitation, Jiang Li opened the enhancement function and chose to strengthen himself.

[First enhancement detected. The price has been adjusted to the beginner rate!]

[Spend 200 points (original price: 2,000 points) to enhance yourself?]

"Yes!"

Jiang Li answered at once.

[Enhancement successful!]

Name: Jiang Li.

Realm: Intermediate Warrior (Apprentice Level).

Cultivation technique: Tai Chi Breathing Body-Tempering Art

Points: 300

"I can't believe I improved so much all at once!"

Jiang Li was thrilled.

If he had enough points, couldn't he keep leveling up all the way?

Of course, having a high realm alone wasn't enough. He needed cultivation techniques and combat experience, too.

"I still have 300 points. I should be able to exchange them for some techniques."

Jiang Li thought to himself.

He picked out a few inexpensive techniques and spent all his points in one go.

As waves of information flooded into his mind, Jiang Li entered a state of clarity.

[You watched Peach Island Basic Sword Art. You mastered the essentials of the sword art and gained insight!]

[You watched Pure Yang Palm. You mastered the essentials of the palm technique and gained insight!]

[You watched Taiji Health Fist and gained insight!]

The next day.

As dawn began to break, Jiang Li was about to head back to his room when he saw Ling Ling staring blankly at him.

"What is it?"

"Nothing. I just think you seem different. You look even more handsome than before."

Ling Ling did her best to keep her expression calm.

Inside, though, she was reeling.

She was certain—absolutely certain—that Jiang Li had been an ordinary person before, with no aptitude for martial arts.

She had confirmed it through a certain method!

But now?

Jiang Li had actually broken through and become a warrior overnight!

What kind of ridiculous speed was that?

"If I weren't handsome, how could I be worthy of a beautiful wife like you?"

Jiang Li chuckled and reached out with a mischievous hand.

Ling Ling let out a shriek.

After fooling around for a while, Jiang Li grew serious. "I'm heading to the assessment soon. By the way, which faction would you like me to join?"

"The Limit Martial Arts Hall!"

Ling Ling answered without hesitation.

"Sure!"

Jiang Li left home and headed straight for the Limit Martial Arts Hall.

The Limit Martial Arts Hall had been founded by Hong, the world's strongest fighter. The second-strongest, Thunder God, had founded the Thunderbolt Martial Arts Hall.

These two martial arts halls were extremely powerful, with branches all over the world.

The five great nations each controlled their own territories, too, making for a complex web of factions and rivalries.

"Sir, are you here to register for the Quasi-Warrior Assessment?"

As soon as Jiang Li arrived at the hall, a young woman came over and greeted him respectfully.

Everyone who came here had the potential to become a warrior.

Naturally, she treated them with respect.

"I'm here to get a student ID."

Jiang Li replied.

The young woman was taken aback.

After the Great Nirvana, most people could sign up as martial arts hall students once they turned sixteen. Anyone over thirty was barred from studying at a martial arts hall to avoid wasting resources.

It was quite rare for someone like Jiang Li to be getting a student ID for the first time as an adult.

The young woman furrowed her brow,

but she didn't say anything. She took Jiang Li to fill out the paperwork.

After he finished, Jiang Li was led to a Punch Force Testing Machine.

"Huh? New here? I haven't seen him before."

"He's really handsome, but... he looks a little old."
