People are in high martial arts, the system lives in fantasy

Many people may not know the significance of an average score of 9 or above in the Artistic Conception Competition.

To put it simply, in the world today, there are only two people of this age in northern Jiangsu who have reached this level—one of whom is the pillar of the nation, Jianzhu.

The status of Jianzhu is so high that it is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. It can be said that he has become a symbol of martial arts in China.

If the [Beast Pillar] represents the limit that the physical body can reach, then it represents the [pinnacle of talent].

He is one of the most amazing martial artists in the past thousand years, a truly legendary figure.

It is already an indescribable miracle for ordinary people to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with them. Over the years, there have been very few people who have been able to stand shoulder to shoulder with them in certain aspects, and now they are all formidable figures in their respective industries.

However, as time has passed, various rumors have been circulating about the Sword Pillar's true strength.

Some say that Jianzhu started practicing swordsmanship at the age of three, achieved minor mastery at six, major mastery at eight, perfected his swordsmanship at eleven, reached the realm of intent at thirteen, comprehended the true meaning of swordsmanship at twenty-one, reached the legendary realm, and comprehended the true meaning of swordsmanship at twenty-eight, breaking through to the God of War.

At the age of thirty-four, he attained the Dao Realm of Sword Technique in the Void Battlefield. His sword energy traversed three thousand miles, and his sword light chilled nineteen provinces. The following month, he was granted the title of "Pillar of the Nation" and called "Sword Pillar".

Some people say that the people above are talking nonsense. On the day Jianzhu was born, the ancient sword in the house shook violently, and the sound of the sword rang out for a long time. Jianzhu was born with knowledge.

Some say that a sword spirit is hidden within the sword of the Sword Pillar, guiding his cultivation from a young age, which is why his cultivation has been so smooth.

In short, there are all sorts of opinions.

But the most outrageous thing is that even with such an incredible claim, there are still countless supporters—but the first piece of information is probably true.

The male protagonist is exactly the type from a wish-fulfillment novel, and everyone agrees that he is.

This era also has similar written media to online novels, but sometimes even the authors don't dare to write to that extent.

However, the increased popularity doesn't actually bring many other benefits. If it weren't for the fact that it's "famous all over the world," Su Bei wouldn't really be willing to be so high-profile.

After all, whether he's high-profile or low-profile, the light he radiates has already been seen by those who need to see it, and it has no effect on him whatsoever.

It's better to keep quiet and make a fortune.

In just the past day or two, similar questions have emerged one after another online:

[That's it? Is a 9.4 score really that impressive? Were the judges all on the same side?]

[Hilarious! Sword Pillar earned his reputation through battles in the Void Battlefield. This hothouse flower dares to try and piggyback on his fame?]

Surely no one really thinks there's any merit to being number one on the so-called Prodigy Ranking?

[I suggest you look into the relationship between Zhenwu University and the Military Academy; those who know, know.]

[I don't understand either. Why isn't there any data for this artistic competition? I can't see any difference, so why did I get first place?]

The shock I felt from this news was no less than the realization that the "Hua" character on my serum, which I'd used for a year, was added later.

【…】

While being criticized is still being famous, being questioned certainly doesn't feel pleasant.

Su Bei didn't care much. In this age of information overload, the internet has no memory, and after a while, few people will remember it.

But Su Bei doesn't care, while some people do.

So that night.

The official account of the Armed Forces Department posted a message on social media:
[Congratulations to Grandmaster Su Bei, a registered second-rank master, for winning the championship of this Intent Competition. Grandmaster Su's "Storm Spear Technique" is the 647th super-grade martial art in the martial arts library. To date, it has guided many spear practitioners and contributed to the development of Chinese martial arts. Its storm intent has been verified by several war gods and is well-deserved. May martial arts prosper! @SuBei]

This official message from the military headquarters was like a bombshell, instantly detonating the entire internet. The comment section was flooded with messages within minutes.

[Holy crap?! A second-grade Grandmaster?!] [Am I seeing things? The number one on this year's Prodigy Ranking is a Grandmaster?!]

Wait a minute... the creator of the "Storm Gun Technique" was him?! That's exactly what I practice!

[...Grandmaster? Really?]

Could official news be false?

What level of skill does a grandmaster under twenty years old possess? I would like to ask.

Others at twenty: Second-rank Grandmaster; My twenty: A human being.

The trending topics list refreshed instantly:

#Second-Rank Grandmaster of Northern Jiangsu#
#Creator of Storm Gunplay#
#The number one on the list of prodigies is actually a grandmaster#
But this is just the beginning.

After the military department took the lead in speaking out, the military propaganda department also reacted quickly.

[Warmest congratulations to Lieutenant Colonel Su Bei, instructor of the Zhenwu Military Region and chief instructor of the Tianhu Military Region, for winning the National College League Artistic Conception Competition! Instructor Su's unique "Storm Gun Technique" and its derivative gun techniques have begun to be promoted in some military regions.]

The accompanying photo of Su Bei at the award ceremony shows him with a resolute expression and eyes looking straight ahead, standing tall and straight like a pine tree under the lights.

And that's not the end.

The Martial Arts Association didn't stop either; as if following the trend, they also posted a blog entry.

The joint certification from three authoritative institutions has completely reversed public opinion!
Those dissenting opinions were instantly drowned out by an overwhelming wave of amazement.

This was practically a show of support for Su Bei, not to mention that some of Su Bei's seniors also spoke out for him online, such as Dragon Spear Venerable and Old Master Qi...

There was even an additional entry for this.

#Connections in Northern Jiangsu#
Then came the frenzy of various marketing accounts, and the character series of 【Martial Arts Truth Master】 was also updated, seizing the first pot of gold in the traffic market. The number of views was far ahead of all his videos.

With the conclusion of the Artistic Conception competition, the remaining events are also gradually drawing to a close.

"After this, we'll have to keep a low profile for a while."

Su Bei was in her hotel room, looking at all sorts of information online, and couldn't help but sigh.

In the past two days, quite a few people have recognized him when he goes out, which is not a good thing.

However, the statement from the three major institutions this time was somewhat unexpected for Su Bei. After all, he thought that he might be pushed to the forefront after reaching the master level. But thinking about it, he seemed to understand. As the number one protector on the Grandmaster Ranking, his growth progress could be considered to have been recognized.

This is likely related to the changes in the situation over this period.

Let's put this matter aside for now and keep a low profile for a while after all the competitions are over.

Su Bei looked at the panel.

[Evasion Progress: 5/5]

[Mission: Evade the pursuit of the demonic forces (Completed)]

[Difficulty: ★★★★★]

[Quest Reward: Arcane Art "Transformation"]

With this secret method, keeping a low profile isn't too difficult. (End of Chapter)
