Turbid World: Martial Arts Master of the Republic of China Era, I Cultivate Immortality!

"By the way, what did you just say about me, 'brother'?"

Having changed into a new training uniform, which was the same uniform he wore yesterday, Zhao Zheng smiled and carried his long sword to Li Feng's side, asking a question.

"I meant Brother Zheng is awesome!"

Without a second thought, Li Feng put on a smile and said in an extremely humble manner, "Zhao Zheng just said 'oh'."

"Really!"

Zhao Zheng chuckled and patted Li Feng's shoulder, causing Li Feng to nod with a smile that looked more like a grimace.

He's asking for trouble!

Cheng Qingqing roughly understood what Li Feng had done and muttered to herself, while secretly rejoicing that she was quick-witted and not as stupid as Li Feng.

Zhao Zheng has already entered the inner courtyard and is Master Su's junior brother. How could he possibly be an ordinary person who has just started learning martial arts?

However, she did not expect, or rather she was shocked, that Zhao Zheng had cultivated his Qi and blood to become a ninth-rank martial artist in just two hours.

Not only was she shocked, but Han Lu and Feng Xin were also extremely shocked that Zhao Zheng's talent was so strong.

Seeing that the desired effect had been achieved, Su Ming smiled, clenched his fist, and coughed, saying, "Ahem, but you don't need to be discouraged. After all, my junior brother here is a cultivator who has entered the Dao. A Daoist who has cultivated magical power naturally finds it easier to cultivate qi and blood than you..."

"Taoist priest!" ×5

Taoist priests who have entered the Dao,

A Taoist priest who has cultivated magical powers!

Li Feng and the other four were even more shocked, not because they were shocked by how powerful the cultivators who had cultivated magical power were.

Instead, they were shocked to see a Taoist priest with magical powers, alive and practicing martial arts with them.

"Alright, quiet!"

Su Ming shouted loudly. Although no one present spoke, he looked at the sky and said as everyone looked at him.

"It's getting late. I'll demonstrate the Listening Tide Sword Technique for you one more time. This time, you'd better watch carefully..."

As he spoke, Su Ming placed his right hand on the hilt of the longsword hanging at his waist, and looked at Zhao Zhengdao: "The Listening Tide Sword Technique consists of thirty-six forms... The sword technique as a whole emphasizes the principle of adapting to changing circumstances..."

"Power is... as still as a hidden reef, as swift as a raging wave!"

The word "Tao" fell!

Clang——

A cold glint appeared on the blade of the longsword Su Ming drew from his hand. Then, as the longsword was swung in Su Ming's hand, it exuded a surging sword momentum like a rushing tide, creating a dazzling sword light.

The blinding sword light made Zhao Zheng squint involuntarily. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the longsword in Su Ming's hand seemed to come alive, carrying a sword light as turbulent as the ocean tide rushing in all directions.

"A spiritual attack spell? No, that's not right, it should be called mental oppression... Is this what they call the artistic conception of martial arts...?"

As Zhao Zheng watched, he pondered in his heart. During his conversation with Daoist Tianyi last night, he also understood that the martial arts of this world had the existence of concepts such as sword intent and sword momentum.

"The listener should listen to both the enemy and oneself, using both ears and heart..."

Su Ming kept wielding his longsword and talking nonstop, explaining the key points of the Listening Tide Sword Technique in detail to everyone, or rather, to his junior brother Zhao Zheng.

In an instant, Zhao Zheng saw Su Ming's sword aura, which had originally been like a surging tide, change. The sword shadows were scorching, and the cold light stretched on and on. A sense of intent as vast as the sea and heart as surging as the tide emerged.

"Change is like a surging wave, gathering strength and rising endlessly!"

Su Ming spoke again, his sword stance changing once more. If at first everyone only felt the endless waves crashing in, then now everyone seemed to see one tsunami after another, stronger than the last, sweeping across the sky.

In a daze, Zhao Zheng seemed to really see the surging, endless tsunami carrying towering, turbid waves crashing down.

A sudden pressure arose, and apart from Zhao Zheng and Su Ming, who was personally demonstrating the Listening Tide Sword Technique, the five people present, including Li Feng, all turned pale and subconsciously took a few steps back.

"The humidity is changing!"

Zhao Zheng felt the changes in his surroundings with a sense of surprise. He ran his fingertips over the increasingly humid air and, subconsciously, a word came to mind.

That's the mind interfering with reality!

Zhao Zheng began to understand why Daoist Tianyi said that in the end, martial arts and immortality are actually not much different.

"kill!"

Su Ming suddenly shouted, his voice jolting everyone awake. He stomped his toes on the ground, causing it to crack and reveal a dense web of fissures. In an instant, he darted in front of Zhao Zheng, his right hand slashing down with his longsword.

The three-foot-long, blazing white sword energy spread from the sword's body. As the sword light surged, it tore through the air, emitting a sharp, piercing hiss.

Li Feng and the others only saw a strong gust of wind that was visible to the naked eye, stirring up the dust in the courtyard and lifting the gray, blinding curtain.

However, their minds were not on the blinding curtain. At this moment, they were just staring in horror at Su Ming, who was wielding a sword and slashing at Zhao Zheng. They subconsciously felt that Su Ming had gone mad.

Whether Su Ming was crazy or not, Zhao Zheng, who was holding the sword in his left hand, did not think about it or ponder it. Facing the sword, he only felt as if a huge wave was crashing down on him, causing him to subconsciously feel a physiological fear of facing a natural disaster.

Just as this tiny wisp of fear formed, a flash of gold and silver streaked across Zhao Zheng's eyes.

The ability to illuminate one's inner self and the ability to burn away inner demons in the Limitless Version of the Sun and Moon Everlasting Observation Mind Method are activated at the same time.

This wisp of fear was instantly devoured by the two lamps of the sun and moon transformed from the limitless version of the Sun and Moon Everlasting Contemplation Mind Method.

Turned into lamp oil,

Transform it into sharpness and courage!

Clang——

Cold light, sword light,

The Tide Listening Sword Technique's unwavering defensive stance arose the moment Zhao Zheng drew his sword. A dense, impenetrable sword light, like a deep-sea whirlpool, bloomed, but Zhao Zheng felt it wasn't enough!

"Not enough? Then... bring out the 'Greedy'!"

Greedy and Cruel: [Attack +100%]

In the instant the thought crossed his mind, the two silver dollars in Zhao Zheng's pocket vanished into thin air, and at the same moment, the light of his longsword suddenly intensified!

clang--

click-

As the two swords clashed, sparks flew, and a powerful aura burst forth from the point of impact. At the same time, with a crack, fine fragments of Zhao Zheng's sword fell to the ground with a clattering sound!

Zhao Zheng remained motionless in his blocking stance, carefully experiencing the feeling of the sword strike. Su Ming also remained still, not because he had gained any insights, but because he was very surprised, so surprised that his eyes were somewhat glazed and his mouth was open.

"eight……"

No, not an eighth-rank martial artist!

His strength... was incredibly strong!

Su Ming realized that Zhao Zheng couldn't possibly have broken through again so quickly and reached the eighth rank. He looked at Zhao Zheng with surprise, silently sheathed his sword and retreated. He smiled when Zhao Zheng came to his senses.

Congratulations, junior brother!

"You're too kind, senior brother. Please don't use sneak attacks next time!!"

Zhao Zheng tossed aside his sword hilt and spoke with a smile. Although he knew Su Ming meant well in helping him practice swordsmanship, this good intention made him slightly...

Never mind, I'll just write it down for now.

He turned around and ambushed his opponent!

Zhao Zheng opened his mental notebook, turned to page thirty-two to write down the day's events, and then looked at the panel displaying the various aspects of life.

[Method: Listening to the Tide Sword Technique (Beginner)]

Entering the realm in a single breath

My martial arts talent seems to be quite strong!

Zhao Zheng muttered to himself, his mind racing with thoughts, while in the outside world, Su Ming smiled broadly and said...

"This is something you don't understand, junior brother. I'm training your ability to adapt to changing circumstances, so that you won't be ambushed one day."

"Thank you so much!"

Zhao Zheng rolled his eyes. Su Ming chuckled and said, "You're welcome," before turning serious and looking at Li Feng and the other four.

"See that? You've already mastered the Lesser Mastery of the One-Breath Sword Technique. Compared to my junior brother, you're practically the worst group of students I, Su Ming, have ever taught..."

Su Ming's reprimands continued, but Li Feng and the other four didn't listen carefully at all. They just stared blankly at Zhao Zheng, who was standing next to Su Ming, as they practiced their swordsmanship to a minor level.

Even Feng Xin stared blankly at Zhao Zheng, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"So... my swordsmanship has reached a minor level of mastery!"

"Otherwise what? Do you think everyone is like the five of you? And you three, since you reached the minor mastery level of the Listening Tide Sword Technique, the one who has been practicing the longest has been doing so for two months, right? Two months and you still haven't even touched the threshold of the major mastery level of the sword technique, and you still want to join the Xinmin Martial Arts School..."

Su Ming's initial education, which Zhao Zheng viewed as a form of harsh discipline, made him want to say that people are actually different.

His ability to master swordsmanship to a minor level in a single breath so easily is due to his innate talent.

Also, due to the innate Yin-Yang Dao Body that is being formed, this innate Yin-Yang Dao Body has brought him stronger comprehension.

In a word,

I'm a genius too!

At this point, the progress of the Innate Yin-Yang Dao Body is 2%.
