I became a Sword Emperor in the Martial Arts World

Chapter 1: I can cut bullets with my sword, so why the hell are you shooting me with missiles?

"My head hurts so much..."

"How are you feeling, classmate?"

Ye Qingzhou, feeling as if his head was splitting open, struggled to open his eyes, and what came into view were two soft, delicate white lights, large and round.

When his blurry vision cleared, Ye Qingzhou could see clearly that he was lying on a hospital bed with a stunningly beautiful woman sitting next to him.

She was around twenty-four or twenty-five years old, wearing a light and breathable white V-neck lace shirt paired with a tight-fitting knee-length pencil skirt, which perfectly showcased the mature charm of a young woman.

"Where am I?"

"This is the school clinic, of course."

"The infirmary? I think I was just hit by a cruise missile..."

"You're really funny, kid. Don't worry, you just hit your head on the soccer ball and have a mild concussion. I've already massaged it for you, you'll be fine."

The beautiful school doctor pursed her lips, seemingly wanting to prove that she was professionally trained and wouldn't laugh no matter how funny the patients said.

Yeah, unless I can't help it.

Her name is Lei Ying, the new female school doctor at Linjiang No.1 Middle School this semester. She has just been admitted to the medical graduate program and started her part-time work and study life. She is young, beautiful, and has a hot figure. In addition, with her gentle personality and sweet smile, she has successfully increased the school's injury rate by more than ten times in less than two weeks since she entered the school. She has become the "Teacher Lei" who is highly regarded by the teachers and students of the whole school.

Every day, male students and even male teachers would come to the infirmary to see her for various reasons, but this was the first time they had said they had been hit by a cruise missile.

She couldn't help but sigh softly, "Sigh, what kind of nonsense are these young people thinking about these days?"

When Ye Qingzhou left the infirmary, she was still completely bewildered: "Did I transmigrate?"

Just minutes before, he was on a state visit to Saudi Arabia with the East Asian ambassador and was warmly received by Saudi Crown Prince Salman as a martial arts representative.

Due to global instability and the changing of the guard, the era of Western hegemony is coming to an end, while the ancient land of the East is radiating new vitality, like a rising sun.

Prince Salman is clearly different from his father. He is disgusted with being bossed around and treated like a dog by the West. As a member of the younger generation in Saudi Arabia, he prefers to be close to the great Eastern power that never interferes in the internal affairs of other countries. At the same time, he is also very interested in Eastern culture.

At the invitation of the Crown Prince, Ye Qingzhou spontaneously performed his amazing skill of splitting bullets with a sword, astonishing everyone present and leaving Prince Salman in awe.

Prince Salman then extended a warm invitation to Ye Qingzhou to fly with him in the same helicopter to Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, but the flight ended in disaster.

A cruise missile traveling at 880 kilometers per hour came flying straight in. Even Ye Qingzhou, the national martial arts champion and a master of the Gang Jin technique with unparalleled swordsmanship, was powerless against the power of technology. In the end, he was blasted into this new world that was similar to Earth by a loud bang.

At Linjiang No. 1 Middle School, golden sunlight streamed into the corridors of the teaching building. Ye Qingzhou walked slowly, as memories belonging to the original owner of the body flooded her mind.

He transmigrated to a world called Blue Star, where the environment was vastly different from Earth. The biggest difference was that martial arts were extremely prosperous in this world.

Two hundred years ago, just before the human world on Earth was entering the industrial age, the first secret realm was discovered in the territory of the Kingdom of Dian. Powerful mythical beings officially entered the vision of mankind, and legends gradually became reality.

Through their exploration of the hidden caves and realms, the humans of Earth came into contact with a supernatural knowledge system called martial arts for the first time.

This power that enabled human evolution directly triggered a global technological revolution, allowing martial arts on Earth to advance alongside science and become a prominent field of study.

With the development of martial arts, the martial arts profession began to emerge on the historical stage, leading human civilization on Earth onto a development path completely different from that on Earth.

In order to counter the threat of the hidden realms and to compete with other countries, governments around the world on Earth have unanimously begun to promote martial arts and have invested huge amounts of social resources to establish specialized martial arts associations, cultivate and manage a large number of young martial artists, so that they can better contribute to the development of their countries.

Students in the major powers of Earth begin learning the theoretical knowledge of martial arts in junior high school.

Starting in the first year of high school, students gain a deeper understanding of human anatomy, and in the second year, they begin to take martial arts courses, formally embarking on the path of martial arts training.

Entering university means participating in various assessments and even competitions, constantly striving towards the goal of becoming a professional martial artist.

After becoming a formal martial artist, there are even higher-level professional leagues and ranking assessments, which has led to the growing influence of martial arts, which has continuously permeated all aspects of human society.

Even an ordinary worker with only a high school education can tighten screws several times more efficiently than someone who has never practiced martial arts, as long as they have learned one or two basic martial arts techniques.

At the same time, as martial artists continue to shine in various industries and fields, martial arts has become one of the core driving forces for the progress of human civilization.

The role of martial artists in the military, judiciary, fire service, and even the medical system is undeniable and irreplaceable.

For example, some doctors who have mastered advanced martial arts knowledge can use their internal energy to stimulate human cells, bringing the dead back to life and healing broken bones. Similarly, if firefighters cultivate fire-attribute techniques, they can be fearless of flames and high temperatures, rushing directly into fire scenes to rescue people, greatly reducing casualties and property losses.

As for the military and the judiciary, the combination of powerful martial arts and modern weaponry creates incredible strength, enough to strike fear into the hearts of any enemy or criminal.

After all, times have changed. Martial arts masters can now use machine guns and even artillery. Ordinary soldiers and law enforcement officers are naturally at a disadvantage when facing powerful martial artists who have unlocked human potential. And if martial artists pick up powerful firearms, they become ruthless killing machines on the battlefield.

Clearly, the martial arts on Earth are far more powerful than those on Earth. Some powerful martial artists can even fly and disappear into the ground, and one person can suppress an entire country.

Having absorbed the original owner's memories, Ye Qingzhou couldn't help but yearn for the martial arts of Blue Star.

In his previous life, he possessed unparalleled swordsmanship talent. He could learn any swordsmanship in the world at a glance, master it quickly, and even innovate upon it, combining the strengths of various schools to hone his own swordsmanship to perfection. At the young age of 25, he reached the pinnacle of martial arts, even able to split bullets with his sword, and was revered as the "Sword Saint" in the martial arts world.

However, compared to the vast power of technology, his swordsmanship is really insignificant. Even if he steps into the Gang Jin level, he is just a inheritor of intangible cultural heritage.

At his best, Ye Qingzhou could deflect three pistol bullets simultaneously, which placed him at the pinnacle of the Earth's martial arts world, unparalleled in his time.

However, on the African continent, a second-hand AK47 worth $80 can fire ten rifle bullets per second, while a hand-cranked Gatling gun has a rate of fire of over a thousand rounds per second, not to mention cruise missiles with a flight speed of more than twice the speed of sound.

These technological creations are simply beyond human capability. On Earth, all the martial arts masters, past and present, from all over the world, would be helpless and die in the face of firearms.

However, this world is clearly different. The power of martial arts is so great that it can even rival that of technology!

Ye Qingzhou was an orphan, devoted to martial arts and all alone. Arriving in this world where martial arts flourished, he felt a surge of emotion: "Blue Star, I've arrived!"
