Seeing the astonished looks on Bai Xiuxiu and the others' faces, Ning Chuan said thoughtfully, "Is this teaching assistant position really that valuable?"
"Extremely precious!"
Tang Qianjun nodded solemnly and said, "Don't be misled by the word 'ancient martial arts' in the Ancient Martial Arts Research Institute. It doesn't refer to ancient martial arts from before the Federation."
After the establishment of the Federation, martial arts abandoned the distinctions of social class and began to exchange knowledge, leading to an explosive development.
In terms of variety and power, it far surpasses ancient martial arts.
"The term 'ancient martial arts' refers to prehistoric martial arts!"
Tang Qianjun said solemnly.
Ning Chuan's heart skipped a beat.
He inherited two prehistoric martial arts styles.
The Ancient Dragon Elephant Scripture, and the Ultimate Weapon Art.
The former has already fully realized the gravity of the situation.
The latter, too, began to show its strength.
Ning Chuan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What does the teaching assistant need to do?"
"There are two main points."
Tang Qianjun said.
"First, to complete the incomplete prehistoric martial arts. Due to the long passage of time, many Martial Seal in prehistoric sites have been damaged to varying degrees, resulting in incomplete inscriptions of the martial arts techniques within them."
"Secondly, inherit prehistoric martial arts, cultivate them to the Perfect Realm, and then imprint them for future generations to pass on."
Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan's eyes lit up.
"Don't get excited!"
Tang Qianjun glanced at him, waved his hand, and said, "Only formal researchers and a few of the most outstanding teaching assistants are qualified to inherit prehistoric martial arts."
Most teaching assistants are still responsible for repairing incomplete martial arts techniques.
As he spoke, Tang Qianjun laughed, "To repair martial arts, one must naturally have rich experience in martial arts."
Therefore, teaching assistants at the Ancient Martial Arts Research Institute can pass on martial arts knowledge for free!
As for the grade and quantity, it depends on your repair progress; the higher the better!
But at the very least, I can guarantee receiving Heavenly Mountain -grade martial arts inheritance once a month!
Upon hearing this, Bai Xiuxiu sighed softly.
Tang Qianjun really went all out.
There's probably no hope for the Mecha Department.
Sure enough, she heard Ning Chuan say, "Thank you, Dean Tang. I will apply to the Martial Arts Academy of Galaxy University!"
"Okay, I'll have someone send the teaching assistant appointment letter as soon as possible."
Tang Qianjun said that his feelings were very complicated; he wanted to laugh but also felt regret.
If only I had known.
He should have agreed to Ning Chuan's request yesterday.
To avoid all this trouble now!
The teaching assistant position at the Ancient Martial Arts Research Institute was coveted by many at Galaxy University. He secured a position for Ning Chuan, but faced immense pressure.
That night.
The silver moon shone brightly, Stars filled the sky, their radiance adding a touch of coolness to the evening breeze.
Inside a small villa.
Ning Chuan gazed at the fifteen Martial Seal in front of him with curiosity.
He didn't know what changes would occur to the original Awakening Stage martial arts after inheriting the complete version.
No changes?
Starting over?
Falling in realm?
Without much thought, Ning Chuan picked up the Heaven's Thunder Punishment Martial Seal and placed it on his forehead.
Related information, mixed with mood and imagery, flooded my mind.
After a long while, the transmission was completed.
" Heaven's Thunder Punishment has been upgraded to Force martial art, with its upper limit increased, but its cultivation level has been slightly lowered!"
A notification sound rang out.
Ning Chuan's mind raced, and he opened the system interface.
One of the columns.
[ Heaven's Thunder Punishment ]: Minute Subtlety (Progress 20%)
"Previously, I was at the Perfect Realm, with a progress of five percent. It seems I've dropped by almost two levels!"
Ning Chuan calmly considered the situation and did not panic despite the decrease in his cultivation level.
His understanding of the Heaven's Thunder Punishment remained.
" Tang Qianjun once said that martial arts are the manifestation of Mystic Truth. Martial arts at the Awakening Stage only contain a portion of these Mystic Truth. After being upgraded to the complete version of Force martial arts, the Mystic Truth contained within will increase, which is why the martial arts level will decrease."
Ning Chuan analyzed it to himself.
He reached out, picked up the Martial Seal of the Draw Sword and Slash Heaven Art, and placed it on his forehead to pass it on.
After it ended, the situation was the same as the Heaven's Thunder Punishment.
The insights haven't disappeared, but the level of understanding has declined.
[ Draw Sword and Slash Heaven Art ]: Minute Subtlety (Progress 47%)
Ning Chuan withdrew his gaze and picked up another Martial Seal inheritance.
Time slips away, bit by bit.
Night passed.
Ning Chuan completed the transmission of fifteen martial arts techniques.
Early in the morning, Ning Chuan had just finished washing up when he saw Bai Xiuxiu and Luo Qin arrive together.
" Ning Chuan, good morning! I brought you breakfast!"
Luo Qin smiled radiantly, raising the lunchbox in her right hand, which was covered with many cute cartoon pictures.
With an apologetic tone, she said softly, "This is the only kind of lunchbox I have. You won't mind, will you?"
"Uh... it's okay, thank you."
Ning Chuan gave a wry smile, took the lunchbox, and said, "I left the Martial Seal in the bedroom. Wait a moment, I'll go get it."
"This isn't urgent."
Luo Qin smiled and said, "I have good news for you. Your military rank has been approved. Someone will come to inform you soon."
Ning Chuan casually asked, "Which rank?"
He had read about the Federation officer ranks in a book, which consisted of four classes and twelve grades.
Among them, there are three ranks of junior officers: second lieutenant, first lieutenant, and captain;
There are four ranks of field officers: Major, Lieutenant Colonel, Colonel, and Senior Colonel.
General officers are ranked in four grades: Major General, Lieutenant General, General, and Grand General.
The highest rank is Federation Marshal, which is only level 1.
Only the Heavenly King can hold this position.
"I don't know. The administrative departments are keeping a tight rein on this matter!"
Luo Qin shook her head, then sat down on the woven sofa and smiled, "However, with your talent, you should be able to be awarded the rank of major!"
"Almost."
Bai Xiuxiu, unusually, did not refute, and said, "Rank is an honor that Federation soldiers value highly!"
Even honorary titles are not granted arbitrarily.
Knight joining the military, starting with the rank of General-Bestowing, needs time and military merit to be promoted to general.
Normally, it takes at least ten years to succeed!
She herself is a living example.
An ace mech pilot, piloting Sky Mecha, whose combat power rivals that of Knight, but whose military rank remains colonel.
Luo Qin looked at Ning Chuan and teased, "You're a major, and I'm a colonel. When you get your rank, you'll have to salute me!"
"The thought of future Divine General saluting me makes me very happy."
Luo Qin's pretty face was radiant.
Upon hearing this, Bai Xiuxiu coughed lightly and found a sofa to sit down.
It seems they are also looking forward to this.
Seeing this, Ning Chuan shrugged, somewhat helpless.
Just then, the doorbell rang, and General Zhao strolled in.
"Since it's a nominal rank, a formal conferment ceremony can't be held. The uniform and shoulder insignia will be delivered by the quartermaster department later."
General Zhao smiled and took out an officer's ID card, handing it over.
Black cover with gold lettering.
"Thank you for your help General Zhao."
Ning Chuan exchanged a few pleasantries, casually flipped open the cover, and immediately raised his eyebrows.
The top few columns are unremarkable, containing only his personal identification information.
The last two columns.
[Position]: Federation 27th Army Group
[Military Rank]: Senior Colonel
What rank/position?
"You seem a bit surprised. Are you just a captain?"
Bai Xiuxiu and Luo Qin asked one after another, very curious.
Ning Chuan flipped his military officer's ID card over, facing the two women.
"Senior... Senior... Colonel!"
"How could it be a senior colonel?!"
Two incredibly shocked shouts rang out almost simultaneously.
Ning Chuan smiled slightly, looked at the two women on the sofa, and said, "Why don't you two get up and salute me?"
