I became a Sword Emperor in the Martial Arts World

Chapter 246 I pulled out my greatsword

"Ye Qingzhou!"

"It's Xu Yuebing!"

A pretty figure suddenly appeared at the door of Class 7, quickly attracting everyone's attention. Then, the people around looked at Ye Qingzhou with gloating eyes.

"The Ice Fairy is angry!"

"Ye Qingzhou is doomed."

Huang Liwen patted Ye Qingzhou on the shoulder and shook his thick eyebrows: "You should take better care of your health."

Ye Qingzhou first gave him a disdainful look, then got up from her seat, walked towards Xu Yuebing, and smiled: "I just got back, and you're already so impatient? Did you miss me that much?"

"I miss you my foot!"

Looking at Ye Qingzhou's striking eyebrows, Xu Yuebing felt a mixture of joy and anger: "Last time you entered my body without my permission, don't think you can just let it go like that."

Enter the body?

What kind of inappropriate and lewd words are these?

Huang Liwen leaned against the wall, looking shocked and incredulous.

My best friend and the school beauty are having such wild fun?

Feeling somewhat guilty, Ye Qingzhou could only assure Xu Yuebing, "Next time, I'll definitely let you know before I go in."

"You want a next time!"

Xu Yuebing stomped her feet in anger, gritted her teeth, and pinched Ye Qingzhou's cheek: "You bastard, you don't even realize your mistake!"

The last time Ye Qingzhou returned from the spirit world, her soul followed the beacon of the mind and entered Xu Yuebing's body. This incident still makes her angrier the more she thinks about it.

"Don't be angry."

Ye Qingzhou left the spiritual beacon on Xu Yuebing. In the future, when he enters the spirit world again, he can only rely on her to return to the real world. This is something that cannot be helped.

But girls need to be coaxed.

"I brought you a gift."

"Gift?"

Upon hearing those two words, Xu Yuebing's grip loosened slightly. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she asked hesitantly, "What gift are you going to give me?"

This was the first time Ye Qingzhou had formally given her a gift, so she was slightly excited and even showed a rare girlish shyness.

Ye Qingzhou didn't hesitate and immediately pulled out his greatsword.

"This sword is named Radiant Glow. It is a masterpiece sword that I personally crafted for you, possessing five characteristics: Ice Glow, Illusory Light, Piercing Rainbow, Reflecting Shadow, and Concentrating the Mind..."

Having taken Xu Yuebing's Flying Frost Sword before, and now that it has been directly reforged into a divine weapon, returning it is naturally impossible. Ye Qingzhou had no choice but to forge a new one for her.

Now that Ye Qingzhou has mastered the "Heavenly Forging Scripture" to a considerable degree, and with the added support of the symbolic and numerical thinking of "Qimen Dunjia," forging a top-quality sword is a piece of cake, with no difficulty whatsoever.

Unfortunately, Xu Yuebing was unaware of the truth.

Looking at Ye Qingzhou, she was moved to tears, her heart pounding: "This sword, is it really going to be given to me?"

Not only her, but even the students in Class 7 were shocked.

This is a top-grade sword!

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as priceless!

It should be noted that none of the nations of Dongji Kingdom, or even any other human nation on the entire Blue Star, possess the ability to forge divine weapons. Therefore, top-grade weapons are the ultimate dream for many martial artists.

In the Eastern Kingdom, there are very few craftsmen who can forge top-quality equipment; you can count them on one hand.

"Which master craftsman did Ye Qingzhou hire?"

"Is this the time for the betrothal gifts to be presented?"

The value of a top-quality sword cannot be measured in money!

Such a top-quality sword is enough for Xu Yuebing to use from the professional level all the way up to the Martial Saint realm, and it can even be passed down from generation to generation as a family heirloom.

"This sword is too valuable."

"In my opinion, you are far more valuable than it."

Ye Qingzhou's gaze was sincere, and his tone was earnest. For him now, top-grade equipment could be crafted at will, as long as he wanted it.

But the only spiritual beacon he left on Earth was Xu Yuebing.

The two had secretly established a close connection between their minds when they first practiced the Heart Sword Technique together, using the method of mutual understanding.

Therefore, Xu Yuebing's value to Ye Qingzhou is immeasurable and irreplaceable.

The Mind Beacon isn't something you can just leave behind at will. The Void Sun Rat has been plotting for tens of thousands of years, using bloodlines and lineages as a bond, which is why it has managed to escape death several times despite being killed.

At present, Ye Qingzhou only has Xu Yuebing as his spiritual guide, so he naturally has to take good care of her, his only child.

"I have left a five-colored divine light sword aura within the Radiant Light Sword. If you encounter danger, you can activate the sword aura to fight your enemies. When I am not by your side, it will protect you."

"Um."

Xu Yuebing lowered her head shyly, but her slender hands gripped the Radiant Light Sword tighter and tighter.

Ye Qingzhou then patiently explained the five characteristics of the Xia Guang Sword to Xu.

"When you unleash your Yin energy, you can activate the ice mist properties on your sword, using special ice fog to freeze the entire area, slowing down your opponent's reaction speed and creating an external environment that is favorable to you."

"As for the characteristic of illusionary light, it is mainly based on the forest's terrain and can interfere with the enemy's vision by refracting light. If it can be used in conjunction with illusionary techniques of mental martial arts, it will have a miraculous effect."

"Next is Piercing Rainbow, which is characterized by fire and lightning, giving your sword energy a stronger penetrating effect and is designed specifically for armor penetration."

"The main purpose of the Shadow Reflection is to counter various mental illusions. When you activate it with your inner energy of thunder, the enemy's shadow will have nowhere to hide wherever the sword light shines."

"The final Concentration trait, which is also the most important one, not only enhances your focus during battle but also strengthens your understanding of swordsmanship."

After hearing Ye Qingzhou's story, Xu Yuebing was completely stunned.

A weapon that can enhance one's understanding of swordsmanship?

This characteristic is unheard of!

Even among top-grade swords, the Glowing Radiance is among the best.

Its lethality and destructive power may not be the strongest, but its ability to concentrate the mind alone is enough to drive all martial arts families crazy!

After all, although martial arts families have special bloodlines, inherited techniques, and are not lacking in rare treasures, not every generation of successors can excel and revitalize the family.

And the Radiant Light Sword can actually enhance a martial artist's understanding of swordsmanship?

Doesn't this mean that whoever gets it will instantly become a genius in swordsmanship?

Equipment that can improve one's aptitude and comprehension is incredibly valuable!

"Is the 'concentration' property real? Can it truly enhance a martial artist's understanding of swordsmanship?"

Holding the Xia Guang Sword, Xu Yuebing's expression changed several times. She knew all too well how precious the exquisite sword before her was. This sword was enough to become the heirloom of the Xu family of Linjiang!

"Is this difficult?"

Ye Qingzhou looked puzzled: "Divine Metal has the characteristics of sensing emotions and storing thought energy. After making some improvements, I added my understanding of swordsmanship to it. Isn't this something anyone can do?"

Xu Yuebing was both annoyed and amused after hearing this: "Do you think everyone else is like you? You have superb swordsmanship, can leave your body and travel in the void, understand the mysteries of thought power, and you also happen to have cultivated the weapon-forging inheritance of Emperor Yan and obtained the inheritance forging techniques in the 'Heavenly Forging Scripture'."

It's not so much the power of the Radiant Light Sword that's the strength of Ye Qingzhou.

Moreover, his strength is not in one field, but spans several fields. His abilities are so well-rounded that he has almost no weaknesses.

Ye Qingzhou was taken aback upon hearing this, and then seemed to ponder something. Only now did he realize that the various inheritances he had received were simply too numerous to be true.

"I used to think I was actively seeking high-level martial arts inheritances, but now it seems that various inheritances are practically offering themselves up to me. This is probably the work of the Azure Emperor again."

The thought of this martial arts master, who personally oversaw the Spirit Realm and stood at the source of the River of Time, overlooking the trajectory of Blue Star's destiny with his hands behind his back, stirred up waves in Ye Qingzhou's heart.

A true man should be like this!

…………

The gift of the sword caused quite a stir at the school.

Ye Qingzhou ignored this. When he returned to the riverside pavilion after school, Li Jingshan happened to come to visit: "Ye Qianlong, your mission reward has been issued."

She then took out five Universe Treasure Rings and handed them to Ye Qingzhou. These rings contained various rare and precious items, including many earth-level treasures and even rare materials of heaven-level quality.

Clearly, these were spoils of war obtained from wiping out the Heju, Manman, Yu Niao, Er Shu, Ju Ru, and the six tribes. The harvest was so substantial that Ye Qingzhou, who participated in the "spoils of war," made a hefty profit.

"I've already sent the supplies list to your phone. In addition, there's a reward that you, Ye Qianlong, need to collect in person from Dr. Gu by using this helmet to access the ThinkNet network."

"Thank you, Sister Shan."

"You're welcome."

After delivering the items, Li Jingshan quickly took her leave.

Ye Qingzhou then picked up the smart helmet that Li Jingshan had given him.

This thing isn't very scientific, but it's very metaphysical. It's basically a brand new device made by combining the knowledge of the Mind Energy Martial Arts obtained from the Kunlun Cave Heaven with current human science and technology.

Because many materials must be imported from Kunlun Mountain, this thing cannot be widely available for the time being and can only be provided to a small number of privileged individuals.

For example, Ye Qingzhou has now become a member of the privileged class in the Eastern Pole Kingdom.

Once he put on the helmet, Ye Qingzhou's mind and consciousness connected with the Heavenly Secrets System, entering a sea of ​​information.

"Welcome to the Celestial Secrets System."

Ye Qingzhou discovered that his account had already been registered by the system, and then the soul binding process began.

Not long after, he received a friend request from Gu Minghui.

Choose to accept.

"Ye Qingzhou, your reward has been issued."

Gu Minghui appeared in front of Ye Qingzhou as if he had teleported. The two were in a study, which was filled with various expensive furniture.

"How does it feel?"

"This place feels a bit like the spirit world to me."

Ye Qingzhou touched the soft sofa, then tapped the desk made of golden nanmu wood: "The five senses are so realistic that they can almost be mistaken for reality. If my Yin energy had not been cultivated to a superb level and I had not awakened my sixth sense, no longer relying on the five senses to obtain information, I probably would not have realized that everything here is actually fake."

Gu Minghui laughed: "That's right, this is a virtual world modeled after the Spirit Realm. Our Tianji Research Institute has invested a huge amount of money in this, and we have finally completed the initial design concept. Speaking of which, we have to thank you. If we hadn't obtained a massive amount of divine gold from you, this plan probably wouldn't have succeeded so quickly."

Scientific research is the most expensive game in the world. Only by investing massive resources and manpower to explore the unknown can there be even a slight chance of achieving substantial technological results.

Therefore, Ye Qingzhou's use of the divine gold he obtained from Kang Jinlong was indeed a great help to Gu Minghui and the entire Tianji Research Institute.

Gu Minghui was also a man who knew how to reciprocate kindness, so he directly made Ye Qingzhou one of the first users of the Hongmeng Realm.

"We will name this place the Primordial Chaos Realm, using the power of thought to carry the human mind and will. If we lose the final battle, the Primordial Chaos Realm can become the last refuge for our Eastern Kingdom."

The Hongmeng Realm project was initially developed with the aim of leaving behind a spark of human civilization.

In this pure world of consciousness, even if the physical body dies, the mind and will can live on forever, waiting for the moment when they see the light of day again in the future.

Ye Qingzhou immediately understood that the account Gu Minghui gave him was clearly a ticket to the apocalypse.

That would be a huge favor.

"By the way, your reward has been approved."

Gu Minghui then used his mind to transmit the cultivation method of a Heaven-rank martial art into Ye Qingzhou's sea of ​​consciousness.

"This technique, 'Nine Heavens Divine Sword Thunder Control True Technique,' was obtained by martial artists from my Eastern Pole Kingdom during their exploration of the Divine Firmament Cave. Only master-level martial artists can cultivate it, and it can help people break through to the Grandmaster and Martial Saint realms."

"Um?"

Ye Qingzhou frowned, looking puzzled: "Aren't Heaven-Rank martial arts techniques supposed to allow martial artists to break through to the Martial God realm?"

Gu Minghui was both amused and exasperated: "Theoretically, it is indeed possible, but no one has ever succeeded in doing so."

Ye Qingzhou nodded upon hearing this, finding it quite reasonable.

After all, in theory, in the Eastern Kingdom, if a person studies hard, they can go all the way from elementary school to a doctorate.

In reality, according to the standard of 50/50 splitting students in the high school entrance examination, half of the students cannot even go to high school after graduating from junior high school, let alone pursue a doctorate.

The same applies to martial arts training. Those who lack aptitude, perseverance, or comprehension will be eliminated halfway through and will never be able to reach the finish line or the pinnacle of martial arts.

Gu Minghui then explained to Ye Qingzhou, "The powerful forces within the Cave Heaven Secret Realm often have more complete inheritances, which is why they can produce a large number of Martial God level experts. In contrast, although we have also found some inheritances of Heaven-rank martial arts techniques, we lack the prerequisite cultivation methods as a foundation, or the corresponding bloodlines and rare treasures, so breaking through to Martial Saint is almost the limit."

After his explanation, Ye Qingzhou immediately understood.

So the Heaven-Rank martial skill I gave myself was incomplete!

No wonder he's so generous!

It's true that the buyer is never as shrewd as the seller.

Seeing Ye Qingzhou looking at him with a mocking expression, Gu Minghui spread his hands and said, "Don't look at me like that. The Heavenly Rank martial arts techniques we collected all have various problems. Although the authorities have negotiated with the various forces in the cave several times, they are unwilling to pass on the complete inheritance of the techniques to us."

"Alright, even though it's an abridged version, it's still a Heaven-rank martial skill, so I'll reluctantly accept it."

Ye Qingzhou appeared troubled on the surface, but was secretly overjoyed.

Others lack the prerequisites to cultivate a complete Heaven-rank martial skill, mainly because the risks are too high. If they cultivate it incorrectly and suffer from qi deviation, they will be crippled at best, and in more serious cases, they may even die on the spot.

But Ye Qingzhou wasn't afraid!

He has mastered the concept of symbolic and numerical thinking, which allows him to deduce the advancement path of Heaven-rank martial arts techniques. As long as the probability is not absolutely zero, whether the technique is complete or not is irrelevant to him.

Even a one in a thousand chance of success is a 100% success rate for him; there's absolutely no need to gamble his life for victory.

After removing his helmet, Ye Qingzhou began to organize the memories in his mind.

"The Nine Heavens Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique truly lives up to its reputation as a Heaven-Rank martial art. Upon reaching its highest level, it can even refine the fierce thunder from the Nine Heavens and make it its own."

The more Ye Qingzhou read through the text, the more surprised and amazed he became: "I really made a killing on this deal!"

"Unfortunately, the cultivation method is incomplete, lacking the true qi and evil qi components, so it can only cultivate thunder qi, unable to achieve the return of qi and evil qi to their origin, the convergence of yin and yang, and the ascension to godhood."

On Blue Star, the path of martial arts involves apprentice-level martial artists cultivating internal energy, while professional-level martial artists transform their internal energy into martial arts true qi.

Upon reaching the Grandmaster level, one's true energy fills the eight meridians, permeates heaven and earth, and establishes a connection with the spirit world.

Upon reaching the Grandmaster realm, one refines evil energy into the body, using true qi to draw upon various evil energies existing in nature, subduing and transforming a portion of the power originally belonging to Blue Star into one's own power.

Therefore, martial artists at the Grandmaster level are also known as Earthly Fiend Grandmasters.

As for Martial Saint level experts, they no longer focus on absorbing and refining the power inside Blue Star, but instead focus on absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, relying on their powerful Qi refining and spirit refining cultivation to draw upon the starlight above the nine heavens to temper their bodies and minds.

Tian Gang, in essence, is actually various ray energies from the universe. It comes from across the starry sea, extremely strong and yang, and comes from outside the heavens. It is not only difficult to absorb and exhale, but also difficult to subdue.

Only those at the Martial Saint realm can attempt this, extending their spirit and will beyond the atmosphere to capture various cosmic rays and refine them into martial arts energy.

The name "Heavenly Martial Saint" comes from this.

True Qi, Killing Qi, and Divine Qi all require certain preliminary techniques to solidify the foundation and hone skills step by step before one can ultimately reach the divine realm of martial arts.

Just like a normal person, they first finish elementary school, then go to junior high and high school, and finally enter university through the college entrance examination.

If you're put to take the college entrance exam right off the bat, how many people in the world can pass it?

The dangers of the martial arts path far surpass those of the college entrance examination. After all, if you fail the college entrance examination, you can retake it, and if you don't get into university, you don't have to die.

Martial arts are different. If you practice it wrong, you can really go into qi deviation and suffer a violent death or a fate worse than death. This risk is much greater than that of the college entrance examination.
