Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 473 Bamboo
Zhou Leng stared at his teammates' tents for a long time before asking, "Will the items in their tents be given to their families?"

"Yes."

Zhou Leng took out eight captured magic spirit bags, placed one in each tent, walked out of the camp, and ran towards the Shuizhou base.

Two Grandmasters followed at a distance, escorting them all the way to the Water Island Base before turning and leaving.

The Shuizhou base was bustling with people, and almost everyone had a smile on their face.

As Zhou Leng walked, he flipped through recent important news and intelligence.

The news of the victory at Tiger Hill Fortress and the great counterattack by humanity at Water Island Demon City spread throughout the Blue Star.

The entire internet is celebrating.

Meanwhile, a video went viral across the entire internet.

Amidst the dense green sea of ​​clouds, a martial artist leaped high onto the city wall of the Tiger Hill Fortress Lord's Mansion, climbed to the top of the main building, severed the Heavenly Calamity Army's banner, and threw it downstairs.

The person, whose entire body was rotting and whose bones were even exposed, was blurred out in the video with his face pixelated, and shouted in a hoarse voice.

"Slay the demon!"

Then, the video switches to a high-altitude overhead view, where the light of unity shines forth, the bugle sounds, the human army charges forward, and the monsters collapse.

Soon, major media outlets published extensive reports on the final battle of the Death Angels. To avoid revealing information about the Hidden Warriors, they didn't even mention that it was the Monkey King.

They are only referred to as "the fog-breakers".

News of the Fogbreaker's solo charge into the ranks of the Death Angels, his swift slaying of generals, ascent of the city walls, and capture of the flag, spread rapidly.

Humanity needs heroes most in times of crisis.

Videos featuring characters like the Arrow Bearer, Demon Slayer, and Mist Breaker have inspired countless people to fight.

Not only the people of the Dragon Kingdom, but the entire Blue Star and even the Humanoid Alliance are spreading the word about the three most famous people in this Water Continent War.

However, the video of the Demon Slayer Warrior only showed him fighting with a spiked club; the subsequent use of the Frozen Celestial Sphere and the Frost Chain Hammer was not disclosed.

Firstly, the Frozen Celestial Sphere is reminiscent of the Arrow Bearer; secondly, the trajectory of the Frost Chain Hammer is too peculiar—it hits everyone except itself, and launching it might have a negative impact on the Demon Slayer Warrior.

Under some news articles and videos, the debate over who is stronger among the Arrow Bearers, Demon Slayers, and Mist Breakers has become the most popular topic.

Zhou Leng quickly browsed through the Wuhu Q&A website, and the top-ranked question was: "Among the three—the Arrow Bearer, the Demon Slayer, and the Mist Breaker—who do you think is the strongest, and why?"

Below, countless people are using the existing videos for analysis.

The top-ranked answer was very objective and fair.

"Let's analyze them one by one."

“First, look at the environment of the Arrow-Bearer. It's by the water, and the final battle takes place beneath the ice and snow. This means that the Arrow-Bearer is more skilled in water-based and ice-based powers. Moreover, his use of himself as bait demonstrates exceptional strategy…”

"He's also a siren killer. Look at his fighting style—his strikes are always deadly, and then he escapes without hesitation. His decisiveness far surpasses that of ordinary people..."

"In conclusion, the archer is skilled in water and ice magic, enjoys illusion and transformation, and is a wise and brave type."

"And look at the Demon Slayer. He wields a spiked club on a relatively narrow path. Who are his enemies? Not just the Innate Realm, but hordes of them, like a wall..."

“Look at his battles with the demon giant and the dragon. He has no intelligence whatsoever, but his ferocity far surpasses that of the Arrow Bearer.”

"Those who carry arrows are mostly retaliating after being pierced by thousands of arrows, but the demon-slaying warriors are simply human killing gods, charging forward fearlessly, invincible..."

"In conclusion, the Demon Slayer Warrior excels in combat with polearms and heavy weapons, prefers head-on, bloody battles, and is a fierce and valiant type."

"Finally, there's the Mistbreaker. Unfortunately, we can't see any other combat videos of him; we can only learn about him through news reports."

"He was chosen as a suicide squad member. Out of two large teams and more than two hundred Xiantian (innate) individuals, he was the only survivor."

"In terms of individual combat strength, he is definitely not weaker than the two before him, because even the two before him would have a hard time surviving in the army of monsters, let alone reaching the location of the Angel of Death."

"Let's look at the environment of this battle. The Deadly Poison—what is that? I don't need to explain. The Innate Deadly Poison is a power that even grandmasters fear. It's clear that he likely cultivates some kind of poison technique, giving him a powerful resistance to toxicity..."

"Resisting poison is one thing, but dying from a deadly poison is incredibly painful, worse than being cut into a thousand pieces. Therefore, the one who breaks through the fog must possess an unimaginable mental fortitude."

“Look closely at how he stood on the main building at the end. It hurt me just looking at him. Even a Grandmaster would grimace and be deformed if he encountered such an injury, let alone a Congenital one. But although his face was blurred and his features were pixelated, many parts of him were not deformed or twisted, which means he could completely withstand this kind of pain…”

"In conclusion, the Mist Breaker excels at resisting poison, possesses a strong martial will, and has a fearless spirit; therefore, he is a heroic type."

"In conclusion, as you can see, the three are different types of martial artists: the wise and brave, the fierce and brave, and the heroic and brave."

"The three individuals exerted different levels of power under different circumstances. Without sufficient data, it is impossible to analyze their martial arts prowess. All the results we have now are based on subjective feelings."

"It can only be said that the Dragon Kingdom is fortunate to have these three people."

"Addendum: On another note, I hope everyone will not only focus on the warriors on the battlefield, but also on the warriors behind the scenes. For example, there was a previous report about a 'martial arts Hua Tuo' who emerged from the Tiger Hill Fortress field hospital, treating hundreds of seriously wounded patients in just a few days."

"Such a martial artist may have no battles or achievements, but his courage is no less than that of any warrior who has fought a bloody battle. His courage can be called benevolent courage..."

"Supplement 2: Can you please stop making up nonsense in the replies that the Arrow Bearer, Demon Slayer, and Mist Breaker are the same person? They are completely different types of martial artists, even their martial arts moves are different, how could they be the same person?"

"How about this, um... eating shit is too disgusting, streaking is too vulgar. If the Arrow Bearer, Demon Slayer, and Mist Breaker are the same person, I'll give everyone who likes this a Replenishing Pill, with no limit." Zhou Leng glanced at the comments below. In just one day, the number of likes had exceeded 20, which was an incredibly terrifying number on Wuhu.

I gave it a like without thinking.

Click below, and you'll see many replies to this answerer, with over ten thousand comments.

One comment almost made Zhou Leng lose his composure.

"What are you talking about, solo fans and group fans? What are you talking about, supporting the Arrow Bearer while belittling the Mist Breaker? Aren't you disgusting? Get out of Wuhu, you stinking fandom. We're discussing the Three Heroes, not popular celebrities. Don't bring the stench of fandom into our martial arts community."

Can you do this?

I flipped through some of the later answers, and they were mostly full of praise, so much so that it made me blush.

A few people pretend to be objective, praising in name but criticizing in reality, ultimately pointing out that the Chinese are inferior to those of a certain country or even giants.

The group below replied, "It provides shelter from the sand and wind."

Afterwards, he reviewed Wu Xin's documents and contacted Xu Qingjin and others.

Because all the released videos were processed and blurred, even acquaintances didn't recognize them.

They treated Zhou Leng as if he were participating in an ordinary innate battle.

Everyone was very happy to see Zhou Leng return.

Although the students from the fifth tier of martial arts schools entered the Shuizhou base, they only conducted field training near the Red Spotted Forest. They didn't even see any monsters, let alone engage in combat.

However, this is a good opportunity for training. Under the leadership of the Seventh Division, all schools are ready to go out together starting tomorrow to hunt down the remaining monsters.

The main monster army was scattered, and small groups of monsters far outnumbered the usual ones.

It's perfect for training young martial artists.

Zhou Leng gave Xu Qingjin and his friends a few words of advice, then walked into the martial arts brigade, took out his battle merit plaque, and recorded his battle merits.

The merit plaque emitted a soft beeping sound, indicating that it could not be directly entered.

"what happened?"

"I don't have the authority. Please wait a moment while I ask the commander to take a look."

A colonel appeared shortly afterward. Upon seeing that the warrior was a hidden martial artist, he carefully checked the merit badge, access permissions, and entered the merits.

After successful data entry, the battle merit plaque was handed over to Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng walked outside.

The female soldier recording the combat merits asked, "Commander, what's the reason? This person looks quite young."

The colonel watched Zhou Leng's retreating figure without saying a word, only guessing which extraordinary innate expert this person was.

In such cases, higher-level privileges can generally only be activated if the battle merits exceed ten times the standard value.

Zhou Leng walked to the battle merit exchange area and looked at the battle merit points of Martial City. A large portion of them had not been entered and needed to be checked.

However, the existing military merits are enough to exchange for elixirs.

The muscular stage materials are ready. All the pills to be prepared for advancing to the Grandmaster level are also needed, including the Grandmaster-level advancement pills.

At the same time, I bought a lot of mind-concentrating incense to help me focus my attention and temper my spirit and will during cultivation. It can be used in conjunction with some spiritual potions from the Demon Spirit World.

I checked my civilian contribution points. It's been a while since I've looked at them, and they've increased rapidly. I can exchange them for another 500 million Dragon Kingdom Yuan.

Having just recovered from his illness, Zhou Leng was feeling a bit tired. He boarded the bus and headed back to Rucheng.

On the bus, I browsed the Divine Script Relics section of Martial Arts City to see if any new divine scripts had been discovered and to learn new knowledge about them.

Unfortunately, almost all the new discoveries and contents of divine scripts are related to the ancient river sect's divine scripts, while the rest are studying the divine scripts they obtained from the demon spirit world.

The theologians on the forum were very excited, saying that now the divine script of the Ten Realms is found on Blue Star, and the divine script of Blue Star is found in the Dragon Kingdom. The center of research on the divine script of the Ten Realms has shifted from the Demon Spirit World to the Blue Star Dragon Kingdom.

Some people say that there are only two kinds of theological scholars in the entire world of divine script: one is studying the divine script of the mysterious masters, and the other is preparing to study the divine script of the mysterious masters.

Zhou Lengyi realized that over-concentrating research in one direction could lead to a dead end in the development of divine scripts, resulting in a waste of resources. This kind of thing often happens in the world of demons.

So, they searched around the divine script ruins to see if there were any other directions worth studying, and soon, with their high-level privileges, they found a familiar divine script.

The style of those divine inscriptions was completely different from that of the Ancient River Sect.

The ancient river civilization was a jade and stone civilization, and most of the divine inscriptions were recorded on jade or stone.

These divine inscriptions were mostly recorded on bamboo and wood.

Therefore, it is called "Bamboo and Wood Divine Script".
