I created the Anomaly Control Bureau

Chapter 886, Section 881: "Deceiving one's master and betraying one's ancestors"

The so-called "tea ceremony to honor teachers" may have a complicated process, after all, it is a special ritual, but Liu Weilie was not particularly attached to it at the moment and completed the ritual in the simplest and most casual way.

And he seemed somewhat anxious throughout the process, as if he was worried that he would run away halfway through serving tea.

Even so, after the tea ceremony was completed, Liu Weilie's expression became solemn:

"Next, we will pay homage to your ancestor. You should know that all martial arts are precious treasures left to us by our predecessors. Unlike other things, true martial arts are immortal. They are not about a master who has mastered unparalleled martial arts, but about their understanding, research, and creation of martial arts."

"Martial arts is always progressing and always open. It is our magic weapon against nature and the world. Moreover, it is knowledge that belongs only to us and that only we can master."

"It's something we won't lose."

At this point, Liu Weilie took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and continued:

"Therefore you must understand that without the countless sages' research into martial arts, we would not have the pinnacle of various martial arts theories and unique martial arts techniques we have today."

"Every martial arts skill you learn is the culmination of a martial arts genius's life's work, and the basic knowledge we take for granted today is the wisdom forged in blood by our predecessors."

"Therefore, forgetting one's roots and ancestors is a major taboo for all martial artists."

"I hope you will listen carefully from now on, and always remember not to betray your master and ancestors."

Marx and Engels nodded in agreement.

"Of course, I will definitely remember it."

Liu Weilie's words contained a lot of information. It sounded like they were fully aware of the unique human characteristic of martial arts. Although he may not have said it explicitly because he was worried that he was not yet aware of the abnormal world, Mar and Eng understood his meaning very clearly.

He was saying that martial arts are a "magic weapon" for humanity to fight against other anomalies, and that this power, as a form of knowledge, has the characteristic of not being easily destroyed.

Of course, there are things in this world that can corrupt knowledge and information. For example, those who cannot remember have destroyed most martial arts, but Ma En now suspects that this is actually a special case.

Martial arts should not be particularly afraid of this kind of information attack.

Even disregarding the living martial artists, martial arts possess a peculiar quality: it is knowledge, which is why it has the ability to endure and survive within human civilization.

But it is a kind of encrypted knowledge.

Yes, in order to make this power a "privilege" of humankind, the creators of martial arts encrypted it, and this is the characteristic that Li Hongyu repeatedly mentioned: martial arts is knowledge that must be personally practiced and experienced in order to master.

When Ma En was learning martial arts, he could clearly feel that only when he used his body to complete the application of martial arts could he possibly capture those mysterious aspects.

This quality, which can only be understood through experience, is a crucial part of the encryption of this technique. Because if other beings are prevented from fully experiencing the necessary process, then the martial art can achieve basic encryption.

Maren was unsure what other mechanisms were at play, but he was certain that the connection between these traits was designed to prevent other creatures from mastering the skill, while ensuring that humanity would not lose it.

Unfortunately, they eventually encountered the terrifying beings who could not remember, and lost most of their inheritance.

Of course, martial arts were not completely destroyed. Not only did Li Hongyu preserve a considerable amount of martial arts knowledge, but Ma En himself may also have stored many valuable martial arts materials in his mind. In fact, thinking about it from another perspective, perhaps it is precisely because martial arts, as "encrypted knowledge," possesses a certain degree of resistance to information anomalies that it was able to transcend the gaps in knowledge.

It could even be said that this is the reason why Li Hongyu was able to recall her memories.

Since martial arts is encrypted knowledge, martial arts experts may also understand how to encrypt knowledge, especially those masters who can create and modify martial arts themselves.

Perhaps this master used this characteristic of martial arts, combined with the martial arts knowledge in Li Hongyu's mind, to allow her to come to the present with the ability to regain her memories.

It is precisely because of this that she was able to recover more memories as her mastery of martial arts deepened.

Because this encrypted knowledge also grew in her mind like a monster being constantly fed food during her martial arts training, it eventually helped her fight against the power from the unrememberable.

If that's the case, perhaps mastering this kind of knowledge can have a similar effect on oneself.

Furthermore, if the essence of this thing in combating the influence of those who cannot remember is the growth of knowledge blocks, then it may not be necessary for him to transform martial arts into strong combat power or martial arts level in order to achieve good results.

Even if mastering martial arts itself might still be difficult for him, if he can maintain this "martial arts talent" during his subsequent memory exploration, he might be able to recall many of the martial arts he once learned.

Not to mention that this is itself an exploration of his memories and can also restore his mental strength.

With this in mind, he became even more determined to focus on learning martial arts here.

"Come in with me." Seeing that Ma En seemed to have listened, Liu Weilie also stood up.

But as they walked directly through the beaded curtain into the depths of the martial arts school, Ma En immediately followed closely behind.

The architectural style behind the door is closer to that of the ancient Eastern Federation, with not only various antique and exquisite interiors, but also more calligraphy and paintings and a wooden platform that looks like it was used for sacrificial rites.

But unlike the outside, almost all the calligraphy and paintings inside exude various kinds of power.

Maren found it hard to understand what was going on. After all, shouldn't aura be something that martial artists exude? How could these inanimate objects also have a martial arts aura, and they didn't look like records of martial arts knowledge?

But soon Ma En recalled the things that Li Hongyu had asked him to observe.

Was this the kind of imposing aura she wanted to project back then?
This situation made him realize once again that he had a different "martial arts talent" than the outside world. Even if he was not really a genius, his speed in learning the Longevity Fist was just because of his memories.

But at least he can be sure that his talent is not as dull as it appears to the outside world.

Besides, Marx was also very certain that he had been here before. After all, such a complex atmosphere and the calligraphy and paintings with considerable artistic achievements were not things that could be derived from mere imagination.

"Come on, meet your grandmaster, who is also the common master of all martial artists in the Eastern Federation."

At the far end of the room hung a painting, depicting the very famous…

"Wang Sheng, President of the Eastern Federation Martial Arts Association"

Divine Fist.
