Sunlight streamed through the windowpane, casting a brilliant beam of light in which scattered dust motes drifted.
The air was completely silent; for a moment, everyone's breathing paused.
Jiang Shu, Jiang Tianren.
Throughout the entire Jiangnan Academy, no, throughout the entire Xia Kingdom, there is now no one who hasn't heard of this name.
Any one of them could talk about Jiang Tianren's deeds for days and nights without repeating themselves.
And now, this man, known as Martial Dao Myth, has actually appeared before them.
So sudden.
"Brother, what brings you here?"
Jiang Yan Yue leaped out of the window, a bright smile on her face, her eyes gleaming with undisguised delight. She naturally knew what her brother had been busy with lately.
The Tier A Heaven and Earth Secret Realm in Yunan Province is in a crucial stage of development. Once Great Accomplishment is made, his brother's achievement will be no less than that of manufacturing nuclear bombs in the early days of the People's Republic of China.
"Let me check if you've neglected your martial arts training."
Jiang Shu responded casually. With his current level of understanding, he could tell at a glance that Jiang Yan Yue's martial arts had improved again. Under the effects of the Internal Strengthening Pill, her physical strength had far surpassed that of ordinary Hidden Force and Bone Forging martial artists.
Even if one cannot break through to the Transforming Force, as long as one is given the True Force Cultivation Method, one can still cultivate all the way to the Blood Exchange Realm.
"Pshaw, you call yourself a martial arts genius! I came in first place in the martial arts competition organized by the Academy, okay?"
"Let me tell you, the Exotic Beast Meat at our Academy is delicious now. Haven't you been here in a while? I'll take you to eat it; I have lots of money on my meal card!"
Jiang Yan Yue chattered away the whole way.
Jiang Shu made no attempt to conceal their presence, walking with her parents all the way to the school cafeteria. Inside, the principal and other school leaders were already waiting.
" Principal Luo..."
Jiang Yan Yue spoke first, followed by Jiang Shu. Although he hadn't had much contact with Principal Luo after entering the Academy Academy, the resources of Exotic Beast Meat and the guidance of Teacher Xie Feichen had been of great help to him.
My purpose in coming here was to give a lecture at the Jiangnan Academy.
After all, he has been practicing martial arts for so long, and he has basically only learned from the Jiangnan Academy, with little to no return.
He was given the title of Martial Arts Professor, but in reality, he had never taught a single student.
" Jiang Tianren, you're too kind!"
Principal Luo quickly extended both hands to shake his, and asked somewhat cautiously, "I wonder if Jiang Tianren would be so inclined as to give a lecture at the Academy..."
As the president of the Academy, holding a high position at the vice-ministerial level, he naturally knew more about the inside story than many others.
Wang Yan, the Martial Saint, alone enjoys the treatment of a vice-state leader.
Jiang Tianren, who is even more powerful than King Martial Saint, could potentially reach a level that countless people wouldn't even dare to dream of the next instant with just a nod from him.
How could he not be careful around such a being?
" Principal Luo, you're too kind. I am a professor at the Academy, after all. It's just that I'm usually quite busy and can't find the time. How about this, I'll give a lecture on the sports field of the Jiangnan Academy in three days? What do you think?"
"Good! Good! Good!"
Completely surprised by Jiang Shu's swift agreement, Principal Luo nodded repeatedly, unable to contain his delight. His heart pounded at its peak. He took a deep breath and, with remarkable tact, said without further ado, "Then I won't disturb your family's meal any longer..."
Principal Luo's arrival did not cause the slightest disturbance to the Jiang Family.
Jiang Yongyi and Xu Lizhi were already numb.
Let alone the principal of the Academy, even if a high-ranking official of a province came, they wouldn't think anything of it.
In any case, anything is possible in front of one's own son.
Instead of overthinking, let's eat together more.
Enjoy this precious time together.
Jiang Yan Yue proudly presented the menu she had just written, while at the same time, the news that Jiang Tianren would officially begin his speech in three days was widely circulated on the official website of the Jiangnan Academy.
All social media platforms crashed within just a few hours.
Airline and high-speed rail tickets are extremely difficult to obtain.
The highway leading to Jiangnan City was congested the entire way. Some martial artists who came specifically for Jiang Shu abandoned their cars and simply stopped where they were and ran on the highway to get to the Jiangnan Academy as quickly as possible.
This is Jiang Shu's speech!
A lecture on the Heavenly Human Realm, once you gain something from it, is worth more than tens of millions or hundreds of millions!
The Dan Jin Grandmaster from Shengjing arrived directly by military helicopter.
The internet has been crashing intermittently, and all the online competitions have been suspended for the past few days. Because nobody is watching, nobody is commenting, and nobody is participating!
Everyone is either in Jiangnan City or on their way to Jiangnan City.
Martial Artist Alliance.
"It's explosive! Jiang Tianren is about to give a speech. Luckily, I didn't go into the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm this time! If I had gone in to cultivate, I would feel that this is even more outrageous than if I had lost hundreds of millions."
"I saw the latest news: Jiang Tianren's speech has been canceled. He said he's going to Shengjing instead. Everyone, turn around and head to Shengjing!"
"Hey, you upstairs with thick eyebrows and big eyes, how dare you deceive my innocent feelings! I actually had to do a search! As a reward, you get a private seat in the 'Sea of People'!"
"I don't have plane tickets, I don't have high-speed rail tickets, and driving is impossible because of traffic jams on the highway. What can I do? I'm just a lowly Manifested Force Martial Artist."
"Let's have a moment of silence. We'll watch the live stream. In reality, even with so many people going, only a few will actually get into the Jiangnan Academy."
It was as if a grand ceremony had begun, and all the martial artists were going crazy for it.
Even a large country like the America has started sending media to the Jiangnan Academy in order to get the first-hand coverage.
Crowds of people, a constant stream.
It felt as if the air itself was crowded.
The small Jiangnan City was flooded with millions of people overnight. Shops made a fortune, and some even worshipped Jiang Shu as a god of wealth.
In less than two days.
In Jiangnan City, martial artists were already sleeping on the streets, and outside the Academy, crowds of people were surging. The martial arts students inside the Academy were all being used as volunteers to maintain order outside.
Time passed slowly, and finally the third day arrived.
The sunlight, sharp as a knife, cleaved through layers of clouds.
The Jiangnan Academy was packed inside and out. Everyone was craning their necks, and no one dared to complain.
It's not that one's martial arts skills improve accordingly, but rather that at such a grand event, no one knows who's next to them. What if it's a Transforming Force Grandmaster? That would be truly...
When will Jiang Tianren start his speech?
"No rush, no rush. Anyway, we arrived early. With our strength in the Hidden Force realm, we should be able to hear the whole thing from these seats. Even if we can't see Jiang Tianren's face, it's good to hear his voice."
"That's right, there are some people online who don't understand martial arts who say why it should be done this way and can't understand it. Wouldn't it be better to just watch the live stream of this kind of speech? I just laugh."
"That's for sure. How many people have truly entered the martial arts world and understand it? We probably only have a few hundred thousand registered martial artists in the Xia Kingdom right now, and in the entire Jiangnan City alone, there are likely close to one hundred thousand. We don't understand it, only those geniuses do."
" Dan Jin Grandmaster is one with perfect unity of essence, energy, and spirit; their spiritual power is immense, let alone someone like Jiang Tianren. With a single thought, his voice can resonate in our minds, reaching the level of a sudden awakening, a moment of profound enlightenment!"
"Looking forward to it! I just wonder what Jiang Tianren will say."
"Yes, there's absolutely no news. They've kept it incredibly secret. But it'll be soon, it's almost time. I reckon Jiang Tianren will make his appearance soon."
The villa area for professors arranged by the Academy.
Jiang Yongyi held the binoculars, looking at the dense crowd outside the school, his heart trembling slightly. He thought his heart wouldn't flutter anymore, but unexpectedly, he was still completely overwhelmed.
Xiao Shu, isn't this just a speech?
Why are there so many people?
Even Jiang Yan Yue, who had always been somewhat carefree, couldn't help but start to regret whether she should have suggested inviting Jiang Shu to give the speech.
"Mom and Dad, you don't need to go down there, it's too crowded down there."
" Xiao Yan, if you encounter any difficulties in martial arts and are unable to advance to the Transforming Force, then go find Sister Ye."
Jiang Shu couldn't help but pat Jiang Yan Yue's head.
Within three days, he returned and passed on some Inner Force, True Force, and the method of cultivating acupoints to Ye Zhenzhen. With her Spirit Body talent, she could naturally reach the Aperture Opening Realm at the fastest speed.
During this time, Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but get emotional.
He politely declined again, citing the principle that martial artists should ideally maintain their primordial yin body during cultivation, and only engaged in some peripheral activities.
at this time.
Several helicopters were circling in the sky, each carrying professionals holding cameras and filming everything live.
Further up, Fighter Jet patrol to prevent any accidents from happening.
Jiang Shu smiled, offered a comforting word to his parents and sister, and stepped out of his villa area.
Standing tall and immobile, he stood at the very center of the Jiangnan Academy campus, fifty meters above the ground, radiating the power of his spirit.
Instantly, all the martial artists inside and outside the Academy, as well as the ordinary people watching, fell into an extremely quiet state. They could hear their own heartbeats and the sound of their own blood flowing.
"The martial arts of our Xia Kingdom are divided into six realms: Ming Jin, Hidden Force, Transforming Force, Dan Jin, Gang Jin, and what you now call the Heavenly Human Realm and the Mythical Realm."
Jiang Shu spoke very slowly; public speaking was really not his forte.
Firstly, his ability to reach this point, Two Worlds Travel, relies too heavily on the Panel.
Secondly, the martial arts of the Xia Kingdom still rely on talent. No matter how much he talks, those who can understand will understand sooner or later, and those who cannot understand will not break through their bottlenecks because of his words.
All he could do was tell the martial artists of the Xia Kingdom that the path of martial arts has no end.
The so-called Mythical Realm is nothing more than another beginning!
"But is martial arts really only about these things? The Martial Saint of Gang Jin, the Hundred-Step Divine Fist, Qi Refining into Gang, breaking the sound barrier with the flesh! A leap from a hundred meters high is as easy as a normal person's jump. Yet, even the best Fighter Jet must bow down before them."
" Shattering the Void, Seeing the Divine and Indestructible. It's merely mastering all the Aperture in one's body, using internal immortality to prove one's own immortality. But is this truly immortality? Celestial Person, mythical beings, can they really live for hundreds of years?"
"Since martial arts is a path to transcendence, why is it limited by the physical body and unable to break through this shackle?"
"Right now, you may still think that Dan Jin Grandmaster and Martial Saint Gang Jin are extremely powerful. But as times progress and Gene Serum become more and more mature, Fourth Order Gene War General and Fifth Order Gene War God will be commonplace. At that time, some of you will inevitably be injected with Gene Serum and become Genetic Warrior. After all, martial arts require talent, but Genetic Warrior do not."
Jiang Shu's words resounded throughout the Jiangnan Academy and in countless live-streaming rooms.
America.
The president couldn't help but nod, and the senators below chuckled softly. They hadn't expected Jiang Shu to hit the nail on the head with just a few words. The reason for developing genetics is that while it certainly has many drawbacks, it also offers immense potential for advancement.
Because gene extraction can be done not only on Xuanxing!
With the development of Cosmic Ruins, in the future, every soldier of the America will be Genetic Warrior, and every officer will be Gene War General.
This terrifying strength, coupled with extremely powerful Hot Weapon, is enough to sweep across Xuanxing, officially step into the Cosmos, and search for other civilizations!
No matter how powerful martial arts are, they have limitations. Even those at the Heavenly Human Realm or Mythical Realm can be reduced to ashes by a single missile. How can they compare to the power of a true great power?
Xia Kingdom.
The First Leader and others remained silent. Indeed, with the development of Cosmic Ruins, technological advancements, and the increasing sophistication of Gene Serum, the number of martial arts practitioners would inevitably decrease. And this was not something they wanted to see.
If martial arts were completely inferior to genes, then the America would be the strongest nation on Xuanxing.
After all, their reckless and expeditious research far surpasses that of the Xia Kingdom.
Hopefully, Jiang Shu can bring something this time.
What was originally thought to be a simple live stream has become incredibly important at this moment.
Jiang Shu's voice continued to echo throughout the Jiangnan Academy.
"When the great gene era arrives, when you are still at the Ming Jin, one by one, those who were inferior to you in the past have become First Order or even second-level Genetic Warrior. Will your martial arts heart be shaken by this?"
"When it comes to oratory skills, I, Jiang, cannot compare to the powerful and wealthy; when it comes to teaching ability, I, Jiang, cannot compare to teachers and professors. Since you all respectfully call me Jiang Tianren, then the only thing I can do is to ignite the most fervent flame in your hearts."
"On the path of martial arts, you may fall behind others for a while, but as you slowly climb up, you will naturally find that you can go higher and see further."
"On the day I return, I will create New Method and spread it to the masses!"
As Jiang Shu spoke, he took a step upwards into the air.
His body grew taller and taller, from fifty meters to one hundred meters, then three hundred meters.
Infinitely close to the troposphere.
The helicopter continued to ascend, broadcasting the entire event live.
Whether it was the viewers in the live stream or the martial artists under the Jiangnan Academy, a question arose in everyone's mind.
What exactly does Jiang Shu and Jiang Tianren want to do?
