I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

The interview was about to begin amidst everyone's anticipation.

Xue Jing sat in the interview booth, relaxed, with his elbows on the table, looking at the dozens of cameras facing him with a calm expression and no stage fright whatsoever.

He turned to look at the U19 staff member next to him who was writing something with a notebook and pen, and said:

"Alright, can we begin now?"

Upon hearing Xue Jing speak, the middle-aged male staff member, whose position was unclear, dared not delay and immediately put away his notebook and pen, hurriedly saying:

"Yes, let's begin then."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the reporters on site simultaneously turned on their cameras.

"Let's ask questions one by one in order... Now, let's invite our friends from 'Yuancheng Daily' to speak."

He pointed to a female reporter sitting in the front row.

The young female reporter, with her pretty face, exquisite makeup, and clearly meticulously styled hair, cleared her throat slightly, revealing her most beautiful smile, which she had practiced in front of the mirror for a long time. Holding the microphone, she spoke softly:

"Xue Jing, as we all know, you come from an ordinary family in the outer ring, not from an old martial arts family that has been exposed to martial arts since childhood. You were unexpectedly taken in as a disciple by Master Li Qi of the Hidden Dragon School after you grew up... May I ask, how long have you been exposed to martial arts from the beginning until now?"

She asked a question that many media outlets wanted to confirm.

Although it had been reported online that Xue Jing had only been practicing martial arts for about four months... few people believed this information, thinking it was nonsense.

Without any early training or exposure to the environment, he went from zero to being virtually invincible among his peers at the age of seventeen in just four months...

This has undoubtedly broken countless historical records, and to an exaggerated degree, it has completely crushed the previous record.

This is something that humans can no longer do.

Countless people online are curious about this, and the specifics should be explained by Xue Jing, the person involved, to satisfy everyone's curiosity.

"...You guys are so unprofessional."

Xue Jing spoke slowly, his pleasant, clear young voice resonating throughout the venue through the microphone.

"You're asking about this kind of information that you can easily find out online? Isn't it all clearly written online?"

"I've been involved in martial arts for... well, if I think about it carefully, it should be about four months now."

His tone was calm, without the slightest hint of pride; he simply stated the facts.

When Xue Jing himself confirmed the fact that he had practiced martial arts for four months, the reporters present were in an uproar.

The female reporter from Yuancheng Daily who was asking the question was also stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief:

"But...four months...that's unlikely, isn't it?"

Xue Jing shook his head and sighed, "You're saying it's impossible again. You people, stop standing there like idiots, just being the background for me to show off and slap you in the face. It's really boring."

"So far, what has I done that you all thought was possible beforehand?"

"I have no need to put on a show of strength; I'm simply stating the facts... I will only answer each question once. Don't say anything impossible and then ask the same question again. If you don't believe me, then don't believe me."

The reporters present exchanged glances, still somewhat skeptical that Xue Jing had only practiced martial arts for four months, but they refrained from saying anything further.

"Ahem, next up, please let the friend from 'Silver Deer Society' speak."

The staff member coughed and pointed to another male reporter in the front row.

The man paused for a moment, then raised the microphone and spoke loudly:

"Mr. Xue Jing, we saw that after the final match that decided the champion, you and Mr. Otogi Suzuka... Could you please tell us what your relationship is?"

Xue Jing: "..."

Upon hearing this question, which he perceived as malicious, he glanced at the questioner with a blank expression.

For some reason, the male reporter felt a chill on his neck and shivered.

"We're opponents in the ring, but friends off the ring. There's no other relationship. Next."

Xue Jing waved his hand and spoke calmly.

The reporter wanted to say something more, but under Xue Jing's gaze, he involuntarily shut his mouth and fell silent.

Seeing this, the staff member pointed to another reporter and said:

“Let’s hear from our friends at the Qingcheng Evening News.”

Upon hearing the name of his hometown, Xue Jing paid a brief look at the reporter who was about to speak.

He was a young man who looked to be around twenty-five years old.

They must have come all the way from Qingcheng specifically to interview him.

He asked earnestly, "Mr. Xue Jing, what are your plans for the future? What competitions do you intend to participate in? If you qualify for the 'title battle' in the future, which title is your primary goal?"

As expected of someone from the same hometown... asking a question openly, but actually subtly praising someone.

The first thing they asked was which title he wanted to obtain in the future... It was practically a blatant statement that Xue Jing would definitely become a title holder in the future.

Xue Jing smiled and said:

"After finishing the U19 tournament, I also won the 'Youth Tournament' championship, which qualified me for the 'Mini Titles Tournament'. If nothing unexpected happens, the next time I appear will be in the 'Mini Titles Tournament'. Other competitions are meaningless to me."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded; this answer was largely what everyone had expected.

The advancement process for the top-tier martial arts geniuses within the Zhuxia realm is similar.

He first won championships in the 'U19', 'Little Dragon Cup', and 'Young Talent Summit' competitions for gifted young players, thus gaining special permission to participate in the 'Minor Title Tournament'.

Without a junior championship title, participating in minor title tournaments requires meeting many complex conditions.

The 'Minor Title Tournament' is the only path to the highest hall of martial arts in the old game—the Seven Titles.

Only by achieving enough good rankings and accumulating enough points in the minor title matches can one qualify for the title match.

Like the seven major titles, the minor titles consist of seven tournaments, each held on a different day throughout the year.

Accumulating enough points to participate in title battles is also very difficult, sometimes taking decades.

The fastest it could be would take less than a year... but the conditions are extremely demanding, making it almost impossible.

The participants must be young players under the age of thirty who have won seven minor title tournaments in a row within a year.

This is equivalent to asking someone under thirty years old to sweep through all martial artists below the rank of "Title Strongest" within the entire Xia territory...

These conditions are extremely demanding.

The genius martial artist who achieves this will receive a special title that is almost as prestigious as the seven major titles – 'Champion'!

The person who wins the 'Champion' title will be eligible to participate directly in the seven title battles, regardless of their ranking points.

"As for the first target title... although it's too early to say now, if I had to choose, I would choose 'True Dragon'."

Xue Jing said with a smile.

The reporters present were slightly surprised.

"Why didn't you choose '10th Dan' as your first title?"

Many top martial artists have a hobby of collecting titles. Generally speaking, when participating in a title battle for the first time, they will choose the easiest one, '10th Dan', to get it first and obtain the honor of 'title strongman' before considering other titles.

It's quite rare to start with a challenge like a 'true dragon'... that's really unusual.

In particular, the one currently holding the title of 'True Dragon' is hailed as a non-human monster that appears only once every hundred years, an existence that is not only eternal but also surpasses eternal existence.

"Actually, it doesn't matter which one I choose first; my goal isn't any specific title."

Xue Jing continued.

"Every ambitious martial artist has only one ultimate goal."

He slowly uttered a noun:

"Seven Crowns for Eternity!"

"That's my expectation for myself, um... I'll try my best to achieve it within six years."

Xue Jing did a quick calculation and then smiled as he spoke.

"Seven eternal crowns!? Within six years!?"

The numerous reporters present were stunned speechless by Xue Jing's remarks, their eyes wide with disbelief.

Although I knew Xue Jing was incredibly arrogant, and his interviews were always filled with outrageous statements... I never imagined he could be this arrogant.

The concept of the so-called 'eternal seven crowns' is very simple.

As the name suggests, it means to possess all seven of the old martial arts titles, all of which are given the title of 'eternal'.

In other words, each title must be won five times consecutively, or ten times cumulatively.

In theory, achieving the 'eternal seven crowns' would take at least five years.

But this is only in theory.

Since the emergence of the Seven Great Titles of the Old Martial Arts, several highly respected predecessors have indeed achieved the accomplishment of the 'Eternal Seven Crowns', but those were all the results of accumulated efforts over time. Even the one who achieved it in the shortest time took more than 20 years!

But Xue Jing said he would do it within six years...

Excluding the year he needs to participate in minor title matches to qualify for title fights, does that mean he needs to achieve 'eternal seven titles' in the shortest possible timeframe of five years?

This is insane, absolutely insane...

How could someone say such a thing?

This is the Seventh Crown of Eternity, a true pinnacle achievement in the old martial arts world!

There is no mountain higher than this title!

Six years... Six years later, Xue Jing will be around twenty-three years old, not even twenty-four.

At this age, to stand at the pinnacle of traditional martial arts?

This is no longer a question of talent or genius.

Even if you're using cheats, you still need to consider whether your cheats are strong enough!

"This……"

The U19 organizers were speechless for a moment, then quickly moved closer to Xue Jing and whispered:

“Player Xue… how about we have them cut out what they just said?”
