[Seeing his furious expression, you hurriedly looked over at your own biographical entry nearby.] [Your objective was clear. You could die this quickly, but before you did, you had to obtain some useful information to avert the tragedy that might befall you.] [Fortunate God of Wealth! You had encountered a martial artist whose reason outweighed his emotions, and that reason kept Li Dong from attacking you at once.] [Although Li Dong did not believe you were Su Wen, what if, against all odds, you really were? What if you, the founder of the martial dao, had not died exploring the Arrow Realm, but had merely been trapped there, and had now returned?] [You had created the martial dao and personally opened the path of the martial artist. Your return would surely lead the martial dao toward a brighter future!] [So he suppressed the urge to smash your head in and told the driver to go home and await further notice. Once you were confirmed to be a spy, the relevant personnel would transfer a bonus of 500,000 to the driver's account.] [After the driver left, Li Dong reported your situation to his superiors while watching your every move.] [And you, the God of Wealth who had come from the past, traveled freely through the future, and commanded the power of the Wealth Source, finally got a clear look at how the future regarded you.] [Name: Su Wen.] [Occupation: God of Wealth.] [Age at death: 24.] [Cause of death: Died in May of year 23 while exploring a secret realm, passing away in the prime of his life.] [Merits: Recipient of the National Special-Class Medal (awarded posthumously), recipient of the National First-Class Medal, recipient of the National Third-Class Medal.] [Assessment: Su Wen's life was like a summer flower, brilliant and brief.] [The Basic Body Tempering Method, invented by Su Wen, pioneered the martial dao and directly gave rise to a vast community of martial artists.] [One month later, Su Wen went on to introduce the Basic Body Tempering Method 1.0, greatly increasing the effectiveness of the body tempering method. The five breathing methods in version 1.0 not only trained the five internal organs, but also made it easier to generate qi and blood.] [At the same time, Su Wen introduced a fist technique for tempering the body and refining the bones, pioneering martial techniques. It was called Tiger Fist.] [Those who practiced Tiger Fist over a long period could strengthen their bones and condense their qi and blood. Combined with the effects of the Basic Body Tempering Method, it could allow a martial artist's flesh and blood to evolve, putting them on par with a first-tier Heavenly Mandate Bearer.] [After someone was chosen as a Heavenly Mandate Bearer, the improvements brought by the Basic Body Tempering Method and Tiger Fist could directly increase their chances of surviving a trial. Those who had tempered their bodies for over a year had almost no chance of dying in a Heavenly Mandate Trial.] [Five years later, martial dao master Du Guowei created the Qi and Blood Resonance Technique, using the Basic Body Tempering Method 1.0 as its foundation and drawing on the ferocious intent of the tiger in Tiger Fist.] [Under the guidance of the Qi and Blood Resonance Technique, martial artists whose qi and blood had reached the peak of the first tier broke through their bottlenecks one after another, gaining power on par with second-tier Heavenly Mandate Bearers.] [In tribute to Su Wen, the founder of the martial dao, the Qi and Blood Resonance Technique was also known as the Physical Technique Training Method.] [On more than one public occasion, martial dao master Du Guowei stated that although he and martial dao pioneer Su Wen had never met, the knowledge he had drawn from the martial dao made him feel as though the two had met too late.] [He had also drawn inspiration for the Qi and Blood Resonance Technique from Tiger Fist. Therefore, Su Wen should be regarded as the creator of the physical technique, while he himself was merely an ordinary man picking fruit from atop a giant's shoulders.] [Three years after Su Wen's death, Star God, commander-in-chief of the Mountain and Sea Main Battlefield, roared his name on the Mountain and Sea Battlefield. This led many martial artists to reflect on Su Wen's death and conclude that there was definitely more to it.] [Mr. Du Baihua, a fervent admirer of martial dao pioneer Su Wen, once stated publicly that, in the instant he broke his limits on the battlefield and became a third-tier martial artist, he received the martial dao pioneer's will.] [The pioneer had been murdered, and he would devote everything to avenging him!] [He even stated outright that if he died inexplicably in the future, he would surely have been killed by the mastermind behind it all. He also called on martial artists to band together and seek out the hidden truth behind the pioneer's death!] [...]

Su Wen looked at the densely packed assessment of himself and shook his head slightly.

It seemed he carried far more weight this time than he had last time.

And there was quite a lot of information this time!

First was Star God. Ten years from now, Star God was actually the commander-in-chief of the Mountain and Sea Main Battlefield!

He did not know what the Mountain and Sea Main Battlefield meant, but he knew that any battlefield with "main" in its name was definitely no ordinary place.

If he understood correctly, the Mountain and Sea Main Battlefield should be where the highest-level struggle between humanity and the nonhumans took place.

The outcome of the war there was the key that would ultimately decide whether humanity could survive.

Commander-in-chief of the main battlefield-that description alone showed Star God's lofty position on the battlefield of the future.

For something to make Star God roar, it had to be complicated.

There was another important figure: martial dao master Du Guowei!

He was no impostor like Su Wen, but a true martial dao master!

After Su Wen had taken Tiger Fist, the product of Du Guowei's martial dao, from the future back to the past, the master had taken a look at it and, drawing on some of the inspiration within it, gone on to achieve another triumph.

Having brought the Basic Body Tempering Method 1.0 to the realm of perfection, Su Wen knew full well that the limit of this foundational cultivation method was the peak of the first tier.

So the Qi and Blood Resonance Technique could be said to be the key to the birth of second-tier martial artists.

A master truly lived up to his name!

Inspiration gushed like a spring, like a burst bladder. Nothing could hold it back; wherever he went, it had to burst forth.

What was more, the more wool Su Wen fleeced, the thicker it grew, and it even sprouted different kinds of wool on its own in other places, a sight that brightened the eyes and came as a delightful surprise.

As for Du Baihua, who had broken through to the third tier?

Everyone differed in experience, aptitude, personality, and many other respects. There were always one or two monsters in any field, weren't there?

Most importantly, the man was also his fervent follower, willing to go to great lengths to uncover the truth for him.

By the looks of it, he had even been threatened and intimidated.

Who would threaten him?

The answer went without saying.

[Li Dong watched you focus on the biographical assessment, reading it with great care, and could not help but have doubts. Could it be that you really were not a nonhuman in disguise?] [After finishing it, you turned your gaze to Li Dong and asked whether you could look through the Martial Dao Library's internal collection.] [Li Dong thought it over and, also wanting to test his guess, agreed to let you look through the books. But he made one request: he had to remain beside you while you read.] [You happily accepted his condition. After making several journeys through time and space, you had never felt as delighted as you did this time.] [The Martial Dao Library housed the various achievements made through ten years of martial dao development. If you could bring them back to the past, the flower of martial dao in that time and space would surely bloom even more brilliantly.] [At the same time, you were keenly aware of Du Guowei's potential, so you shamelessly decided to help him unlock the martial dao potential he ought to possess.] [Greedy God of Wealth! With the help of Li Dong, who knew nothing of your intentions, you began looking through the martial dao articles Du Guowei had published and learned the Qi and Blood Resonance Technique through a technique transmission talisman.]
