I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

Moreover, all the information matched up; Xue Jing did indeed see Tianyi Wufeng for the first time about ten days ago... from his disciple Zhou Yinglin.

Even more outrageous, the way they learn is by watching from the sidelines...

This isn't some old man in the park practicing Tai Chi; it's the most amazing skill in the world!

The intricacies are so complex that even with hands-on instruction, it would take an ordinary martial artist several months to even begin to grasp the basics and make their first move.

That's the limit; a mediocre person can never reach the level of "ten needles and a hundred threads" in their entire life.

The person in front of me, in just over ten days, had undergone one hundred and twenty-three needlework sessions...

Even if he, the patriarch, were to return to his youth with his memories and start cultivating the Perfect Body again, he wouldn't be confident he could do it.

At this moment, the Gun Saint felt a chill run down his spine despite his four-fold broken body.

Who exactly is this kid? Did the Supreme Martial King secretly reincarnate after his death in Cangting?

Wu Xuanzhu stroked his chin and suddenly said:

"Xiao Jing...would you be interested in switching allegiances?"

Xue Jing was taken aback.

He then immediately shook his head and smiled, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior Wu, but my master treats me very well, and I have no such intention."

Wu Xuanzhu nodded, his expression unchanged: "As expected, I was just asking to see what would happen. You don't need to take it to heart."

He paused, then continued:

"Your master is that Li Qi, right?"

Xue Jing tilted his head: "Senior, do you know my master?"

Wu Xuanzhu smiled and said, "We did have some interaction, it was decades ago. I met that hot-blooded young man once back then."

While looking at Xue Jing's information, he unexpectedly saw the somewhat familiar name Li Qi, which reminded him of some old stories.

"I thought he had lost all hope after being crippled by Wan Yulai, but I didn't expect him to still have some spirit left, and to have trained someone like you..."

Xue Jing's eyes flashed: "Wan Yulai?"

He had never asked his master, Li Qi, how he had ended up in this state.

Xue Jing knew very well that asking was useless; the person involved had to be willing to tell him.

Li Qi had carefully nurtured him and done a lot for him. Xue Jing had previously promised to help Li Qi take revenge. He would go after Li Qi's enemies one by one and kill them.

Although Li Qi was unwilling to bring up the events of that year for the time being, Xue Jing couldn't help but be curious when he heard the name of his greatest enemy from back then and the cause of everything.

"Senior, who is Wan Yulai?"

he asked.

If the opportunity arises...

Wu Xuanzhu stroked his not-too-long beard and said, "It seems Li Qi hasn't told you about this yet. He's probably worried about something unrelated... But I think it wouldn't hurt to tell you."

Xue Jing said softly, "Please enlighten me, senior."

Wu Xuanzhu smiled and said, "About ten years ago."

"Although Li Qi was already middle-aged at that time, he had already leaped over the dragon gate in his youth and locked in the peak of his life. Even though he was over forty years old, his vigor was still no less than that of his youth."

"Although I no longer have any contact with him at that time, I still occasionally keep up with his news."

"The last time I received news of him was when a young man under twenty years old came to challenge him, and he gladly accepted."

Wu Xuanzhu spoke slowly.

“That young man is the current holder of the title ‘True Dragon’ among the seven titles—Yanlongliu, Wan Yulai.”

Black Myth lottery, a benefit for book lovers, limited time offer for 3 days.

This game is really great. Although there are various minor disappointments and it's not perfect, they are all relatively insignificant details. Overall, GameSpot has delivered an excellent result.

I first saw the video four years ago on August 820th, and I've been paying close attention to it every year, with my expectations getting higher and higher. In the end, I was satisfied with the result of finally getting my hands on it, and it didn't disappoint me.

Damn it, has Yoko Games had enough of a break? The DLC should be released within a month, right?

I hope more people can play this amazing game, so I'm going to splurge a little here and hold a monthly pass giveaway for my readers as a way of thanking them for their long-term support.

Prizes: Twenty copies of "Black Myth: Wukong" – ten deluxe editions (valued at 328 yuan) and ten standard editions (valued at 268 yuan).

way of participation:

Starting today, you can draw a prize using the monthly pass serial number.

Each monthly ticket you cast represents a chance to win a prize; the more tickets you cast, the higher your chances of winning.

If one lucky person casts a lot of votes and wins multiple prizes, I will personally subsidize the rest for them. This will not affect the winning probability of other readers, so there will definitely be at least twenty people who win. Don't worry.

Example: Reader A, who is extremely lucky, cast 3 votes and won one deluxe edition and two regular editions. I will then give Reader A a total of one deluxe edition of Black Myth and two regular editions, and there will still be 19 prizes left in the prize pool.

I will be doing a live video draw in the book club group in three days. I will announce the draw results and how the prizes will be distributed in a separate chapter later.

After you've voted, don't forget to check your monthly pass number here!

If no one claims it within seven days, it will be considered abandoned and will be redrawn for a reader who voted during this period.

In addition, the monthly pass number can be verified by scanning a QR code. Please be careful not to share it with others (or cover the QR code if you do), to avoid being fraudulently claimed.

So that's how it is. To all the readers who have endured the author's slow updates, thank you for your hard work!

Despite the author's poor writing, I still hope everyone will continue to support this book.

Um... I'm a little embarrassed to say this. If a lot of people vote for me this time, I'll try my best to add more chapters...

Chapter 262 The name of genius cannot be called Dragon King, the Great Ascension Flying Sword (Seeking votes at the beginning of the month, monthly votes will be given away in a lottery)

Wu Xuanzhu spoke slowly.

He had already noticed that members of the Zhige base had surrounded the area, but dared not approach.

However, he didn't take it seriously. He simply found a large rock of just the right height, used it as a chair, sat down, placed his hands on his knees, and looked like he was about to start telling a story.

I rarely call others "genius".

Wu Xuanzhu said.

"In any field, as long as one is still alive, the height a person can ultimately reach is uncertain. The same is true for martial arts. It is not that whoever practices martial arts faster or breaks through the limit earlier is stronger... Before death, nothing can be definitively concluded."

"I broke through my limits when I was nearly fifty years old, and I was left behind by countless so-called 'geniuses'. I couldn't even see their backs anymore. But in the end, I still stand here, at the top. People call me the Gun Saint and praise me as the pinnacle of the skill field. As for the 'geniuses,' most of them have long been forgotten by the times and don't even have the qualifications to be compared with me."

Wu Xuanzhu paused at this point.

"But even with myself as a living example, there are still some people whose existence I have to describe with the word 'genius'."

He pointed at Xue Jing.

"There's one more today... Including you, I've met seven people who can be called 'geniuses' in total."

Xue Jing smiled and said, "That doesn't sound like a small amount."

Wu Xuanzhu glanced at him: "I've lived for nearly a hundred years now, and I've seen far more martial artists than you think. There are countless people under the age of thirty who have made it to the top, and quite a few under the age of twenty as well. The number of 'seven' is much smaller than you imagine."

“Even Lu Shenliu, the ‘White Emperor’ who wanted to kill you yesterday, was not considered a ‘genius’ by this old man.”

"But Wan Yulai is different."

Wu Xuanzhu reached out and rolled up his sleeves, revealing a muscular forearm that didn't look like that of an old man at all.

"The meaning of the word 'genius' is actually somewhat despairing. It attributes all the effort, hardship, luck, pain and everything else a person experiences to a gift bestowed by God."

"That's why I don't like those two words, but Wan Yulai is just like you, possessing an absurd situation that makes me have to use the word 'genius' to describe him."

Xue Jing nodded, indicating that he understood.

Wu Xuanzhu paused for a moment, then continued:

"When Li Qi was young, he and two others were known as the 'Three Heroes of Jade City,' and were praised by everyone as three young people who were very likely to reach the seven major titles in the future."

"In fact, that is the case. Apart from Li Qi, who had an accident, Zhou Liexiong and Chen Buyan, who are also among the Three Heroes of Yucheng, are now aiming for the title. I saw Chen Buyan, the Asura Blade, at Tianjing Lake two years ago. He participated in the 'Battle of the Warlords' at Tianjing Lake. Although he ultimately failed to win the title of 'Battlelord,' he was still able to compete with other strong opponents on the arena."

"Li Qi, who was also one of the three heroes and even had the potential to be the leader of the three heroes, was undoubtedly a formidable figure. However, when he was in his forties, he was challenged by a junior who was less than half his age."

"He certainly wouldn't take it to heart. These kinds of challenges are commonplace for him; he never refuses anyone who comes..."

"Then, he was defeated by this young man who was not even twenty years old."

"He suffered a terribly miserable defeat. His inner dragon, which he had nurtured for decades, was destroyed by a single punch. His legs were broken, and he collapsed to his knees."

Wu Xuanzhu sighed:

"No one expected this outcome. When I received the news, I found it hard to believe... At that time, Li Qi was close to breaking through his limit for the second time. Regardless of his character, in terms of martial arts alone, the old martial arts circle had a high opinion of him. Everyone was quite optimistic about him and thought that he had a chance to win the title of 'True Dragon' within twenty years. This was also his dream."

"And this young man, before this, no one had ever heard of his name."

"After that, everyone knew him, using Li Qi as a stepping stone."

"The former 'Dragon King Li' Li Qi has now become an insignificant part of the background achievements of 'True Dragon' Wan Yulai."

Xue Jing tilted his head slightly, puzzled, and asked, "Why would Wan Yulai challenge my master? Why did he attack so fiercely? Is there some grudge between them?"

Wu Xuanzhu shook his head: "Li Qi is arrogant and belligerent, loves to cause trouble, and has countless enemies."

"But the fact that Wan Yulai caused him to fall to this state has nothing to do with him."

"After defeating Li Qi, Wan Yu said something."

"'The title of Dragon King... it sounds unpleasant.'"

Xue Jing's expression turned calm and unwavering, and he gave a noncommittal "whoosh".

Wu Xuanzhu continued, "Li Qi's only disciple at the time... I remember his surname was Meng, but I forgot his given name. He questioned Wan Yulai about why he had used such force."

He paused, his tone deep and profound, "Wan Yulai said: If I don't strike hard, how will the world know that I harbor resentment towards the title of 'Dragon King'?"

Xue Jing smiled without a hint of amusement in his eyes: "Quite an interesting person."
