Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 445 The best teacher of the year is...

Half a month passed in a flash.

The triennial Zhaocheng Martial Arts Tournament is about to begin today, and it also serves as a preview of the Great Jin Dynasty's martial arts examination.

Looking at the brightly decorated training grounds of his martial arts school, with students busily arranging seats, Qin Sheng said:
"If one cannot join a sect or family, then participating in the martial arts examination and striving for fame and fortune is a decent way out for ordinary people."

The end of the universe is the establishment, and the top establishment in this world is undoubtedly to become a celestial official in the Heavenly Court.

Unfortunately, the Heavenly Court is now in ruins and the divine path has collapsed, so entering a human dynasty is barely enough to make a living.

The Great Jin Dynasty sought both civil and military talents, and the imperial examination system did exist. However, this was ultimately a world where peerless powerhouses, seemingly immortal or divine, existed, so people naturally yearned for martial arts and regarded it as the mainstream.

People in government positions have always been scorned as lackeys and lackeys.

Not only wandering martial artists, but also major sects and aristocratic families, all harbored no goodwill towards the two imperial courts.

After the medieval period, powerful sects became so dominant that they suffocated the aristocratic families whose lineage was based on bloodlines. To counter this oppression, the major families chose to unite, establish a dynasty, and elect the strongest family as the royal family.

Since then, aristocratic families and sects have shared the world.

However, the royal families benefited greatly after ascending to the throne. Blessed by the blessings of humanity, their strength increased day by day, and they became increasingly powerful.

It was for profit, and also because the sects stirred up trouble, the aristocratic families were in turmoil, the country changed hands several times, and finally the north and south were in opposition, with the Jin and Zhou dynasties mutually restraining each other.

Under such circumstances, the royal family can be said to be unpopular with both sides.

"What do you think will happen to the Great Jin and the Northern Zhou in the future?" Jiang Zhiwei asked.

Qin Sheng glanced at his junior apprentice Jiang, thinking, "Trying to stir up trouble, huh?"
"The world, after a long period of division, tends to unite; after a long period of unity, tends to divide," he replied.

The Gao family, the royal family of Northern Zhou, has quietly produced a Dharma Body, and in the future he will also obtain the divine weapon of the other shore, the Human Emperor Sword. His strength is incomparable to that of the Zhao family, the royal family of Great Jin.

The cowardly royal family of the Great Jin Dynasty tried to secretly attain the Dharma Body, but they were caught, resulting in their failure to break through. They are not worth considering.

If Su Wuming is the protagonist of the previous generation of martial arts heroes, then before him was the era of the "Twin Stars of the World".

The two stars are the successor of the Heavenly Emperor—the Demon Master Han Guang; and the successor of the Human Emperor—the Mad Emperor Gao Lan.

The Way of Heaven corresponds to the Way of Man; both are worthy of their reputations.

However, the struggle between the two dynasties is not so simple. It involves factors such as destiny, especially since this is the Realm of Truth, the highest of all heavens, and the issue of territorial ownership is even more complex.

When the stars fall like rain in the future, and all the great powers and supernatural beings return, the real world will become their battleground.

While Qin Sheng and Jiang Zhiwei were chatting, students from various martial arts schools, led by their respective masters, entered the Chifeng Martial Arts School.

Every young person who arrives here can't help but look around, with different expressions. Some are full of confidence, some are timid, and some are full of expectations for the future.

Hosting a martial arts tournament is no easy task, much like Qin Sheng's previous life when he applied for the right to host the Olympics.

Originally, the competition was to be held at another martial arts school, but after Qin's parents had a sudden change of heart, the martial arts community in Zhaocheng changed their minds.

At this moment, Qin Sheng saw a group of people surrounding a young man as he entered the martial arts arena and climbed onto a second-floor viewing platform.

The young man was tall and slender, with an imposing presence. He wielded the knife with divine skill, completely unlike anyone else around him.

“This one should be Zhang Wennan of Longnan, ‘Shadowless’.” Jiang Zhiying’s eyes burned with fervor, and she subconsciously tightened her grip on the sword in her hand.

She was ranked 20th on the list, dozens of places higher than her, but Xiao Jiang was not afraid; on the contrary, she was eager to try.

Her White Rainbow Piercing the Sun sword was already itching for more.

Qin Sheng sized up Zhang Wennan and nodded slightly.

"Profound inner strength and solid foundation, worthy of the name of genius."

His assessment was, of course, from a conventional perspective; Zhang Wennan was indeed a normal genius.

"How big is the gap between me and him?" Jiang Zhiwei asked.

"A world apart."

Jiang Zhiwei: "..."

Are the eight acupoints of the Zhang family of Longnan really that powerful? Is it because our Xijian Pavilion is facing a generational gap, or is the Zhang family experiencing a period of great fortune?

"Don't misunderstand, you're talking nonsense."

Hearing this, Xiao Jiang felt a little embarrassed. "I'm actually not that outstanding, not as good as you, Junior Uncle."

"Of course you can't compare to me."

Jiang Zhiwei: "..."

He wanted to draw his sword.

On the stands, Master Mo of the Two Rivers Martial Arts School was exchanging words with Zhang Wennan, a fawning smile on his face.

"Young Master Nan, is it possible for our martial arts school to send some promising talents to the Zhang family this time?"

Zhang Wennan nodded, "If they are truly talented, I will invite them to join the Zhang family."

Before he could finish speaking, he said that if other martial arts schools could also find someone who could satisfy him, they would naturally receive an invitation as well.

The martial arts school is like a school. After graduation, students are free to go wherever they want. The Xijian Group can recruit them, and the Zhang family enterprise can also extend invitations.

"Young Master Nan, there's something you might not know: another genius from the Human Ranking is also present at this competition," Master Mo said, posing an intriguing question.

"Oh? Who is she? What is she doing here?" Zhang Wennan was indeed intrigued.

"It's Jiang Zhiwei from the Sword Washing Pavilion, the Heroine Jiang," Master Mo replied.

“The young master of Chifeng Martial Arts School went to Xijian Pavilion more than a month ago. She came back with that kid who hadn’t even completed the Hundred Days Foundation Building stage.”

The news that Jiang Zhiwei was in Chifeng had already spread over the past two weeks, and even some cultivators from Zhaocheng who had reached the Enlightenment stage came to challenge her, wanting to see the level of the Human Ranking.

As long as they weren't too weak, Xiao Jiang would take them all on and beat up the people of Zhaocheng.

However, just as Qin Sheng had anticipated, ordinary people in the martial arts world were indeed unaware that he was already a "patriarch-level" figure.

Even the "Shadowless One" ranked 20th on the list was unaware of this. He had been wandering the martial world for months without returning home, and Zhang would not have specifically informed him of something unrelated to him.

After a brief recollection, Zhang Wennan remembered who Jiang Zhiwei was. He breathed a sigh of relief, but also shook his head in disappointment.

"Jiang, the heroine, has already made it onto the list of heroes before she has even officially entered the martial arts world. Her talent is indeed outstanding, but her cultivation level is still a bit low."

Zhang Wennan had hoped to find an opponent here to test his swordsmanship, but now he had lost the desire to make a move.

He himself has eight orifices, while Jiang Zhiwei has four. Both are direct descendants of top-tier forces. It would be bullying to hit a little girl like that. Even if he gave her one hand, she wouldn't be able to do it.

As for the young master of Chifeng Martial Arts School?
Not worth mentioning; they're from a completely different world than the twentieth person on the list.

Amidst the lively atmosphere, the martial arts competition officially began. Before the competition, a draw was held, and everyone could take turns to compete on the stage.

Among the first group to take the stage were members of the Chifeng Martial Arts School.

"Lianghe Martial Arts School, Wang Tie."

"Chifeng Martial Arts School, Zhou Caidie".

The two exchanged names; the former was a tall, robust man with a cultivation level of Qi accumulation.

The latter is Qin Sheng's acquaintance of the same age, the younger sister of Zhou Qingyun, Qin's father's disciple, and her cultivation level is at the initial stage of Qi Accumulation.

"Zhiwei, who do you think will win?" Qin Sheng asked casually.

“Colorful Butterfly,” Jiang Zhiwei answered without hesitation.

Over the past two weeks, she had had considerable contact with the Chifeng students and witnessed firsthand how Qin Sheng instructed them, gaining a clear understanding of their martial arts prowess. Even if their cultivation level was a minor realm lower, their superior skills were more than enough to compensate for that difference.

Master Mo's eyes lit up, and he smiled and said, "Young Master Nan, this Wang Tie is our martial arts school's top talent. Not only has his cultivation improved rapidly, but he is also very skilled in the Two Rivers Saber Technique."

He had high hopes for Wang Tie, believing that this young man had a great chance of being selected by a sect or family, thus boosting the prestige of the Lianghe Martial Arts School.

"Then I'll wait and see." Zhang Wennan nodded slightly.

Jingle bells!

Zhou Caidie and Wang Tie clashed, their swords clashing repeatedly, the metallic clang echoing throughout the arena.

The Two Rivers Sword Technique is grand and majestic; once unleashed, it's like the surging tide of the Yellow River, leaving one breathless.

Zhou Caidie was like a drifting catkin in the wind, as if she would be blown away by the wind and rain at any moment and knocked off the stage. The sword in her hand could only be used to retaliate.

"It seems Wang Tie has won." Master Mo clapped his hands and laughed.

Zhang Wennan's gaze fell on Zhou Caidie, and his expression shifted slightly.

"interesting."

Under Wang Tie's relentless and unstoppable offensive, Zhou Caidie was forced to the edge of the ring and was about to be eliminated.

“It’s over,” Jiang Zhiwei and Master Mo said at the same time.

The next second, Zhou Caidie thrust out her sword, stabbing at the "sea eye" amidst the vast "waves." A miraculous thing happened: Wang Tie's sword momentum suddenly collapsed.

The young girl swayed and dodged, then struck with her longsword, sending Wang Tie crashing off the stage.

The smile on Master Mo's face froze halfway through.

"I appreciate your concession."

Zhou Caidie cupped her hands, flicked her ponytail, and stepped off the stage, achieving her first victory.

"This..." Master Mo remained silent.

"Wang Tie's loss was not unjust. This young girl's swordsmanship far surpasses his saber skills. Her foundation is solid and she is no worse than the Zhang family disciples."

Zhang Wennan remained calm. "She only used one basic sword technique from beginning to end, plus a movement technique. Wang Tie seemed to have the upper hand the whole time, but he was just practicing with her."

"If she was truly outmatched, how could she have held out for so long?"

The difference between the initial and final stages of Qi accumulation is actually very small; a skillful sword technique is enough to turn the tide.

Moreover, the martial arts world is inherently like this; it's never true that you can win just because you have high internal strength.

Master Mo, being a cultivator at the fourth level, possessed considerable insight. Upon hearing Zhang Wennan's words and recalling the battle between the two sides, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Indeed, I am not as skilled as others."

Zhang Wennan's gaze swept across the various arenas, and he noticed something interesting.

The students of Chifeng Martial Arts School were clearly a level above those of students from other martial arts schools, and all of them won in the first round.

"Is this Chifeng Martial Arts School the first choice for people in Zhaocheng to learn martial arts?" Zhang Wennan asked.

"No, this martial arts school has only been established for a little over ten years, and its competitiveness was far inferior to those established martial arts schools in the past," Master Mo denied.

"It was only recently, with the Qin family master and his wife all opening their seven orifices, that Chifeng's reputation soared, making it the number one martial arts school."

"Since we couldn't gather all the geniuses of Zhaocheng, we still have these outstanding students. It seems that a great teacher produces great students." Zhang Wennan thought for a moment and then nodded.

"Chifeng Martial Arts School is not bad."

Master Mo was speechless, feeling like he had done all the work for Chifeng Martial Arts School.

The martial arts tournament lasted for several days, with matches taking place from morning till night each day. Zhang Wennan found it increasingly interesting as he watched.

The people from Chifeng Martial Arts School stood out from the crowd in this competition. It wasn't an isolated case; all eight participants were outstanding.

This shows that Chifeng Martial Arts School did not just happen to find a genius.

Does Master Qin have such abilities in teaching his students? He seems even more skilled than the instructors from the Zhang family in Longnan.

As expected of a disciple of the Sword Washing Pavilion, one of the six sword-wielding sects, even a disciple from Lishan is a master of swordsmanship.

In the afternoon, after the last match of the day, Zhang Wennan spoke from the second-floor stands.

"I am Zhang Wennan from the Zhang family of Longnan. After witnessing Master Qin's teachings today, I am deeply impressed by his skills. I wonder if I could exchange sword techniques with Master Qin?"

Zhang Wennan pondered that someone who could teach eight people with exceptional swordsmanship must also possess considerable martial arts skills.

Although the opponent's cultivation level is not high, I believe that I can still gain something from exchanging skills with such a person.

"He's ranked twentieth on the list of capable people, and he really did come!"

"My God, he actually challenged Master Qin to a duel."

An uproar ensued.

Zhang Wennan wasn't trying to cause trouble or disrupt the event. He was ranked 20th on the Human Ranking and had the cultivation level of the Eight Apertures. Everyone knew that Qin's father couldn't possibly be his match, so no one would say anything if he was defeated.

On the contrary, his words and actions actually indirectly helped Qin's father.

Even the 20th-ranked person on the list praised Master Qin's teaching level and was eager to learn from him. Doesn't this show that Chifeng Martial Arts School has a very high level of expertise?

If word gets out about what happened today, Qin's father will be able to gain recognition by associating with a genius on the Human Ranking.

Everyone on the field looked at Qin's father. The masters of the martial arts schools looked on with envy, and the young men were full of admiration. But the master of the Crimson Edge Martial Arts School looked troubled and said:

"Young Master Jueying is so kind, I should not refuse. However, please know that although I often teach these children, the one who truly transformed them is someone else. I am truly ashamed."

"Oh? Could it be your wife?" Zhang Wennan said.

The Ruan family of Langya has a long tradition of scholarship, so it's not surprising that they have such outstanding women.

"No, and it's not my wife either," Qin's father shook his head.

"Could it be Miss Jiang from the Sword Washing Pavilion?" Zhang Wennan looked at the pale yellow dress with some surprise and a solemn expression.

The top-ranked disciple of the Heavenly Divine Sword, who can transform a group of unrelated mortals in just half a month?

I guess it's barely acceptable, considering he's a disciple of the Divine Sword.

"It has nothing to do with me," Jiang Zhiwei denied.

Zhang Wennan was confused. It wasn't the owner and his wife, nor a disciple of the Divine Sword Martial Arts School. Did the Chifeng Martial Arts School have other experts?

In the midst of the bustling city, are there still wise men left behind?

"It's Senior Brother Qin Sheng teaching us!" Zhou Caidie exclaimed in a clear voice.

"That's right, it's my son." Father Qin nodded as well.

Qin Sheng looked at the twentieth person on the list and smiled, indicating that he was clearly a sunny and cheerful boy.

Zhang Wennan: "..."

What kind of nonsense is this young master who hasn't even completed the Foundation Establishment stage?
