Chinese Superman

The ultimate being—born together with heaven and earth, and one with all things!

The divine being—riding the righteousness of Heaven and Earth, and controlling the transformations of the six qi!

A sage is neither encouraged by universal praise nor discouraged by universal condemnation!

Xia Xinghan neither wanted to nor could do any of these things.

He just wanted to be an ordinary person.

Yeah, just a regular Superman.

……

An office somewhere in the base.

Mr. Qian was buried in a mountain of documents, his brow furrowed.

The process of spiritual revival is accelerating, with relics and ruins appearing more and more frequently in various places, and the resulting anomalies and potential threats are also increasing.

The international situation is also turbulent, with some forces eager to make moves.

"These are turbulent times..."

Old Qian rubbed his temples and muttered to himself, "It seems the second stage of the spiritual energy revival is getting closer. One aspect of the 'method' for universal cultivation must be implemented as soon as possible."

"Bang bang bang"

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 10 ...

Just then, there was a rapid, heavy knock on the office door, as if the knocker was both excited and anxious.

"Enter."

Mr. Qian composed himself, his usual calm demeanor returning.

The door seemed to have been pushed open as if it had been slammed open.

Commissioner Chen strode in, his face a mixture of disbelief, excitement, shock, and even a hint of disorientation, a stark contrast to his usual calm and composed demeanor.

"Old Qian! Xinghan... he's out of seclusion!" Commissioner Chen's voice trembled uncontrollably.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, most of the gloom between Qian Lao's brows instantly dissipated, and a genuine smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

"Finally, he's willing to part with it. I thought he was going to make a nest in the treasure vault!"

"How's it going? How many new martial arts techniques has he come up with? If he can manage two or three, that would be a great achievement."

Commissioner Chen solemnly placed the stack of documents he had been holding tightly in his arms in front of Mr. Qian, took a deep breath, and calmed his turbulent emotions.

He tried to remain as calm as possible, but his voice still trembled with excitement: "Not just a few... but dozens!"

"To be precise, it's forty-nine gates!!"

"What?!"

Mr. Qian suddenly stood up from his seat, the movement so forceful that it knocked over the chair behind him with a loud crash.

He was completely unaware as he grabbed the stack of documents, his fingers even trembling slightly.

Commissioner Chen grinned when he saw Mr. Qian's discomfiture.

He completely understood, because when he received the document from Xia Xinghan, his reaction was more than ten times more exaggerated than Qian Lao's now.

"Among them are nine legendary martial arts techniques and forty top-tier martial arts techniques!"

Old Qian quickly flipped through the documents, his eyes taking in a series of martial arts names:

"Treading on the Flying Swallow" (a masterpiece) – inspired by the bronze galloping horse of the Eastern Han Dynasty, soaring through the air with lightning speed.

"Mighty Rhinoceros Fist" (Legendary Edition) - Inspired by the Western Han Dynasty bronze rhinoceros vessel, it unleashes primal power and unparalleled impact.

"Treasure Vase Seal" (Heirloom Grade) - Inspired by a Tang Dynasty peacock blue glazed pottery vase, its spiritual power is like a celestial river hanging upside down, endless and continuous.

"The Divine Turtle's Sea-Suppressing Technique" (Level A) – Inspired by the bronze tortoise shell of the Shang Dynasty, it is steady, heavy, and immovable as a mountain.

"Cloud Pattern Crane Shadow Steps" (Grade A) - Inspired by the cloud pattern and crane design of Warring States period jade pendants, it is light, graceful, and unpredictable.

"The Soft Sword Technique of Wrapping Fingers" (Level A) – Inspired by the Ming Dynasty's gold-threaded iron sword, it combines strength and softness, and allows for flexible and adaptable use of curves and straight lines.

"Eight Steeds" (Grade A) – Inspired by the imagery of the six steeds carved in the Zhaoling Mausoleum of the Tang Dynasty, depicting the unity of man and horse in a charge into battle.

"Plain Silk Zen Robe" (Heirloom Grade) - Inspired by the plain silk Zen robe from Mawangdui, the body is as light as silk, deflecting force and neutralizing energy.

"Translucent Mirror Image" (Grade A) – Inspired by the characteristics of translucent mirrors from the Western Han Dynasty, it uses spiritual power to refract and create illusory images.

……

Each name corresponds to a cultural relic.

It covers almost all types and applications of martial arts, including fists, palms, fingers, legs, steps, claws, swords, knives, spears, sticks, whips, hammers, seals, formations, and sound!

Commissioner Chen added from the side, "With forty-nine martial arts styles, the system is beginning to take shape, almost forming a complete framework for martial arts!"

"All that's left is for our people to either break down or simplify these profound and unfathomable martial arts principles, transforming them into basic martial arts techniques that can be popularized throughout the country!"

"Hahahaha! Good! Good! Good!"

Mr. Qian said "good" three times in a row, laughing heartily, as if the pressure of the past few days was released with his laughter.

"We've struck gold! Getting Little Star River is worth more than ten Sacred Relics!"

Commissioner Chen nodded in deep agreement.

"Having a child at home is like having a treasure, hahaha."

"Um?"

Is that what they say?

After the initial excitement, the practical problems became apparent.

Old Qian smoothed out the document and pondered, "This contribution... is too great. The reward must be commensurate. According to the standard given to Xiao Xinghan before, a superior martial art should be worth at least one hundred spirit stones. Forty-nine arts would be four thousand nine hundred spirit stones."

"But these are merely spirit stones."

He raised his head, his gaze intense: "More importantly, Xiao Xinghan laid the cornerstone for the future martial arts system of our Xia Kingdom!"

"Based on this model, we could potentially have hundreds or even thousands of basic and advanced martial arts styles in the future. Truly achieving a situation where everyone has 'skills' to cultivate and 'methods' to practice, with a complete range of techniques!"

"Spirit stones are important, but the honor of this pioneering achievement and the foundation-laying virtue is even greater than that of spirit stones."

Mr. Qian looked at Commissioner Chen. "What title do you think should be given to him to match this unparalleled achievement?"

Commissioner Chen pondered for a moment, then tentatively asked, "A martial arts grandmaster?"

Old Qian shook his head: "Too young. A grandmaster is a master of a school or sect; he lays the foundation for the entire martial arts!"

"Then... the Martial Saint?"

Commissioner Chen asked again.

"The title 'Martial Saint' is more like an honorific for someone whose combat power has reached its peak." Old Qian paced slowly, a glint of light in his eyes. "What do you think of... Martial Ancestor?"

Without waiting for Commissioner Chen's reply, he continued speaking to himself, his tone becoming increasingly solemn:

"Master Zhang comprehended the Dao of Heaven and created the 'Zhou Tian Hun Yuan Wu Ji Gong,' which was later optimized by the state into the 'Basic Spirit Forging Method,' enabling hundreds of millions of people to embark on the path of cultivation and pursue longevity. He is rightfully revered as the 'Dao Ancestor.'"

"As for Xiaoxinghan, it observes the legacy of civilization, pioneers martial arts, lays the foundation for practical application, and enables all cultivators to truly master power, protect themselves, and defend their homes and country."

"This is the foundation for a strong people and a strong nation!"

"His achievements are comparable to those of Master Zhang."

"How about we honor him as the 'Martial Ancestor' of our time, so that future generations of the Xia Kingdom will remember his founding achievements and be grateful for his foundational virtues?"

"The Martial Ancestor... the current Martial Ancestor!"

Commissioner Chen was stunned by this weighty title and murmured it over and over.

Upon careful consideration, however, it seems that with Xia Xinghan's unprecedented and likely unparalleled contributions, he deserves this title!

only……

"Master Zhang is over a hundred years old, highly respected, and the first to enter the Innate Realm, a pioneer on the path of cultivation. As for Xinghan... he's only a little over a year old." Commissioner Chen smiled wryly, "A one-year-old Martial Ancestor... if this gets out, the whole world will be shocked, their jaws will drop to the ground."

"Hahaha!" Old Qian laughed heartily, his laughter filled with pride and satisfaction. "Extraordinary achievements require extraordinary people!"

"What does age matter? Heroes have emerged from among the young since ancient times. Gan Luo became a high minister at the age of twelve, and Huo Qubing was enfeoffed as the Marquis of Champion at the age of seventeen."

"this……"

Commissioner Chen was speechless.

He really wanted to say that there is a big difference between a one-year-old and a teenager.

"The Xia Kingdom has Zhang Zhenren and Xia Xinghan, one old and one young, one Taoist and one martial. This is an omen of national prosperity and a blessing for hundreds of millions of people!"

After a moment of contemplation, Qian Lao continued, "This time, let's use Xiao Xinghan's real name as the signature for 'submission,' instead of Wang Nezha. All other intelligence should be sealed at the highest level of confidentiality."

The old man, leaning on his cane, stood in front of the virtual window, gazing at the green mountains and clear waters.

"Faced with the sudden emergence of the mysterious Martial Ancestor Xia Xinghan, some restless foreign forces should probably rein themselves in."

"yes!"

Commissioner Chen straightened his back and solemnly agreed.
