Chương 117: War God’s : — Chapter 117 - Wait, You Also Comprehended a Lost Spear Art?

Same day. Azure Dragon University, before the Dao Inquiry Stele. All five of Dragon Nation's capitals possessed a Dao Inquiry Stele. At this moment, high above the stele, an ancient phoenix beast wreathed in black flames soared into the sky. It shone in all directions like a totem. Clearly an ancient sacred beast from Dragon Nation's hallowed antiquity, yet the black flames burning across it made countless new students feel their hearts clench!

"That's the Martial God True Intent of an Eighth Realm powerhouse — Ye Wuxia!"

"No way, which new student actually comprehended that monster's Martial Dao True Intent?!"

"Ye Wuxia once cultivated the utterly evil 'Nine Nether Soul-Devouring Art.' Before reaching the Eighth Realm, she slaughtered entire cities abroad and was wanted by the Martial Alliance for over a decade — a wicked demoness! But no one expected that after this big shot stepped into the Eighth Realm, she'd return to Dragon Nation and single-handedly eradicate the X-rank Beast lair that posed the greatest threat to our northern border, saving at least tens of millions of people... and then she died..."

"Absolute evil and absolute righteousness, a chaotic hero..."

"The Martial Dao True Intent 'Evernight Demon Phoenix,' symbolizing the dark flames of nirvana... Someone actually managed to comprehend this eccentric, monstrously talented predecessor!" The new students stared in shock at the figure beneath that Martial Dao True Intent. That enchantingly alluring yet icy-cold phantom silhouette. For a moment, they all fell into this extreme contradictory charm, unable to break free. Tiandu Capital Martial University.

Wang Xian stood and looked at the Dao Inquiry Stele, deeply moved. How to put it. His success was something of an accident. Many factors contributed, of course. There was his hard work in cultural studies this life. Otherwise, during those two battle flashbacks, he probably wouldn't have even understood what was happening. But more than that, it was the accumulation from his previous life. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have passed Martial God Zhao Gang's trial.

Now, to obtain a strand of Martial God True Intent while still at the Second Realm meant that if he could cultivate to the Ninth Realm in the future, he'd be able to condense two kinds of Martial Dao True Intent. And sketch out two Martial Dao True Intent Diagrams. That kind of combat strength was hard to imagine. From what Wang Xian knew in his previous life, the strongest Martial God he'd ever encountered had only cultivated two strands of Martial Dao True Intent. That Martial God was formidable.

At the time, the other party had just entered the Ninth Realm. Back then, he himself could barely exchange less than 100 moves before losing with regret. It was the fastest defeat he'd ever suffered. It was just that this strand of Martial Dao True Intent, limited by his spirit, could only be used once at best right now. Not very practical.

'But more than enough as a trump card.'

'If I can master the Asura Single Slash, that would actually boost my strength tremendously!' He had only just comprehended the cultivation method for this martial art. He hadn't yet trained it to completion. And the Asura Single Slash was Martial God Zhao Gang's core martial philosophy. This martial art, don't let the fact that it's merely advanced-class fool you. That's because advanced-class is its minimum. As the martial artist grows stronger, this martial art's power grows stronger and stronger.

It's a rare 'growth-type' martial art. If a Martial God unleashes it, then the Asura Single Slash transforms into the Asura Annihilation Slash, directly becoming a nation-guarding martial art. Paired with its perfect compatibility with the Martial Dao True Intent 'Ten Directions Annihilation,' the power of a single strike was something Wang Xian didn't dare imagine. That's why they're called Martial Gods. The martial arts they create are all extraordinary.

Of course, to evolve from the advanced-class Single Slash into the Annihilation Slash, not only were the requirements on the martial artist's realm extremely high, but there were also many harsh conditions. Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings. As for the spear art... The Prairie Fire Spear Art was very important to him. Wang Xian looked at the Dao Inquiry Stele. Senior Qin Wuji's name had vanished.

It was just that Martial God Zhao Gang's Martial God True Intent was too overwhelming. At this moment, hardly anyone noticed the vanished name of Qin Wuji. But in Wang Xian's heart, the importance of the Prairie Fire Spear Art was not one bit lower than the Asura Single Slash. After all, this martial art was connected to an entire lost spear art lineage. Feeling everyone's attention on him, Wang Xian's expression remained calm.

Just then, an old man, moving like a swimming dragon, suddenly drifted before him, his expression extremely serious:"Student."

"Aside from Senior Zhao Gang's Martial Dao True Intent, did you also comprehend Ember World Spear Venerable Qin Wuji's lost spear art?" The moment those words were spoken, another wave of uproar swept through the crowd. Huh? What the hell? Behind him, Chancellor Song Wujiu and the two beside him were also stunned. Because they hadn't noticed. Couldn't be helped. Martial God Zhao Gang's Martial Dao True Intent had shocked them too much.

Just moments ago, they hadn't had the presence of mind to pay attention to the other vanished senior names on the Dao Inquiry Stele. Now, hearing this old man say it, they were instantly shocked. Because this old man absolutely could not be lying! Even the Chancellor hadn't reacted in time. Let alone the other new students. They stared at Wang Xian with dazed expressions. Bro, you kidding? Are you messing around? Even the junior and senior students watching from the sidelines were utterly dumbfounded.

[Who's this old guy?] [Fake, way too fake! Martial God Zhao Gang was already pushing it, how could he comprehend something else too?] [Think about it the other way, if he could comprehend Martial God Zhao Gang, what's so hard about comprehending a mere seventh-rank Grandmaster?] [Damn, that comment above actually makes some sense.] [Makes sense my ass! Comprehending a lost martial art, you think it's child's play? And a spear art at that!] [Old Tong, what's going on?] In the livestream, Grandpa Tong looked at that old man. His heart skipped a beat. If his own grandfather had spoken, then it was absolutely, unquestionably true. It was just... how was this possible? The Martial Exam champion Wang Xian wasn't he skilled in blade arts? How could he possibly comprehend a spear art? Grandpa Tong watched as that Martial Exam champion gave a slight nod, not denying it at all. His mind went completely numb. Could it be... was this talent? Was this what a genius was?

In that moment, all the new students present fell silent.

"I'm a spear art cultivator... my grandfather says my spear art talent is the highest in several generations of our family," Lin Wujin murmured.

"This person has never trained in spear arts, yet he can comprehend a lost advanced-class spear art."

"What kind of genius is this?" He didn't know. No one knew. But, if possible, as a genius himself, looking at that young man now, all he could do was silently say in his heart: This is what a true genius looks like, right?

"Kid!" That old man suddenly grew excited.

"Any interest in learning the spear? Your spear art talent is absolutely sky-high! If you start training in spear arts now, 3 years — no!"

"1 year, 1 year at most. Follow me, and I can take you from zero to mastering this advanced-class spear art!" As everyone knew, learning an advanced-class spear art required at least a fourth-stage foundation in spear techniques. And the technical foundation for spear arts was the hardest to train. Training to the fourth stage in 1 year was already a terrifyingly fast pace! On top of that, directly mastering this advanced-class spear art, that was as fast as a rocket!

Wang Xian thought for a moment and shook his head:"No, for now I still only want to train in blade arts." Hearing this, the old man was silent for a moment. He wasn't disappointed, just nodded slightly:"That's fair. After all, since you can comprehend Senior Zhao Gang's Martial Dao True Intent, then on the path of blade arts, you'll go even farther than with the spear."

"No need to abandon it halfway."

"You're right."

"When your blade arts have reached some accomplishment, it won't be too late to switch to spear arts then!" He let out an almost imperceptible sigh. It was just that by then, he'd need at least a seventh-stage or higher blade technique foundation to make the switch feasible. Even seventh stage felt like it might not be enough. After all, it was Martial God Zhao Gang's Martial Dao True Intent. Who would give up training in blade arts?

On the platform, Song Wujiu gently clapped his hands:"Everyone, today's Dao Inquiry Stele meditation session is now concluded."

"Next, get some good rest. Tomorrow we'll hold the military training oath-taking ceremony."

"We've invited the 10th Unit of the Tiandu Military Command to our university."

"Additionally, based on your respective performances before the Dao Inquiry Stele, credit rewards have already been deposited into your student mag-cards."

"Specific details regarding the military training competition will also be sent to your phones on schedule. Please review them carefully. If you have questions, ask your respective major class advisors."

"Student Wang Xian, please stay behind for a moment." The many new students took deep breaths, calming their turbulent emotions. They left in small groups of two or three. But their emotions simply wouldn't settle. They remained immersed in the shock of that Martial Exam champion.

"Everyone, you're looking a bit down." In the crowd, a sunny young man with squinting eyes chuckled.

"No need for that, really! Wang Xian is indeed monstrous, but actually, the gap between us and him isn't that big."

"Dao Sanxiao, you're pretty optimistic, aren't you?" Behind him, a burly young man laughed.

"A strand of a Martial God's true intent, two lost martial arts — and you say the gap isn't big?"

"I'm not talking about the gap in talent and comprehension." The sunny young man waved his hand, looking completely optimistic.

"I'm talking about the gap in combat strength."

"When it comes to talent and comprehension, the few of us combined probably can't match him."

"But in terms of current combat strength, that might not be the case."

"Let me break it down for you."

"Martial God Zhao Gang's strand of Martial Dao True Intent — he'd need to be at the Fourth Realm, maybe even the Fifth Realm, before he could barely use it once."

"Otherwise, his own spiritual will couldn't bear it. The fact that he passed the Martial God's three trials means his spiritual will is definitely not weak, but it's not so exaggerated that he can use it directly right now."

"Secondly. Two lost martial arts, the difficulty of training them is sky-high. Surely none of you don't know that?" At this point, the sunny young man looked toward a gentle young woman behind him.

"The training difficulty for lost martial arts is indeed quite high..." The gentle young woman hesitated a moment, then nodded lightly.

"The lost musical martial art I comprehended, 'Great Wind Free-Spirited Melody', to train it successfully, I first need to collect a strand of 'Cloud Sea Astral Wind.' After collecting the astral wind, I must resonate it with my talent, tempering myself with the astral wind daily, before I can infuse that strand of astral wind into the melody and express it in musical form."

"Only then can it be considered successfully trained."

"Exactly!" Dao Sanxiao said.

"That's what lost martial arts are like, the training difficulty is extreme, otherwise they wouldn't have been lost. So, don't expect to train them in just a day or two. And, even in the worst case, even if you do train them, without Third Realm strength, unleashing them will hurt the enemy 800 and damage yourself 1, 000."

"So, for us today, in terms of combat strength, there really hasn't been much change." The few of them nodded. That made sense. The things they'd comprehended today would only start widening the gap half a year, even a full year from now. ➤ Next: Big God, It Was You!
