Chương 36: War God — Chapter 36

Tong Grandpa rubbed his nose, not daring to interrupt his older sister's thoughts. Until.

"Today was a real eye-opener — never seen anything like it!" From the spectator seats, a woman wearing the "Brothel Queen" skin walked down. This skin was provocative, expensive, and easy on the eyes. Tong Grandpa naturally recognized her, his older sister's half-best-friend.

"Sister Xu, what do you make of it?" Tong Grandpa looked toward the Brothel Queen with eager eyes.

"What do I make of what?" The Brothel Queen narrowed her eyes with a smile.

"Little Tong, are your eyes not working? Didn't you understand what just happened?"

"This humble one seeks guidance..." Tong Grandpa was humble and eager to learn, unashamed to ask.

"I genuinely didn't quite understand how my sister's Reversing Heaven and Earth was broken just now... how can that move even be broken?" He couldn't help it, martial arts wasn't exactly his strong suit.

"Because the opponent's Thousand-Army Spear Technique has reached Return to Simplicity." Sister Xu stretched lazily and began to explain. Tong Grandpa froze:"Does that martial mastery tier actually exist?" He had always assumed this legendary tier, as divided by the Martial Arts Alliance, was purely created to pad out the numbers.

"It exists, naturally." The Brothel Queen said, "At this tier, any move within a martial technique can turn the mundane into the extraordinary. Even the most ordinary basic martial technique can unleash power and effects comparable to an advanced martial technique."

"That person just turned the tables, snatching the spear barehanded, and broke Reversing Heaven and Earth with ease."

"That means his Thousand-Army Spear Technique has truly achieved Return to Simplicity."

"Only... no one has ever reached Return to Simplicity in the Thousand-Army Spear Technique."

"This battlefield martial technique, legend has it the creator tempered it on the battlefield for decades before comprehending this spear art."

"To reach such a tier..." Tong Grandpa understood. He inwardly cried out, Damn. Thinking about it this way, it meant that if he had wanted to win, he could have won easily from the very first fight. No, more accurately, he could have won at any time. The Brothel Queen looked toward Tong Grandpa:"Where did you find this senior? Well, now you've given your sister a psychological scar."

"President of Yan University, let me interview you, how does it feel to be completely crushed?" She held one hand up like a microphone and extended it toward the crane-like figure's mouth.

"A senior?" Tong Grandpa made a sound of uncertainty.

"He's not a senior, is he... with that life force level, he's clearly a high school student, right? Are you mistaken?"

"A high school student — go tell your sister and see if she believes you." Tong Grandpa looked toward his older sister. His older sister said nothing, only looking at Tong Grandpa:"Send me his friend request."

"Oh ho ho..." the Brothel Queen laughed.

"First time I've ever seen you proactively add someone... you don't actually think he's a student, do you?" Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

"It doesn't matter..." The crane-like figure tightened both hands into fists.

"I just want to fight him."

"But you can't beat him."

"Even if I can't beat him, I still want to fight."

"......" Tong Grandpa rubbed his nose and could only forward the friend request.

"Actually, I have a method that could let you beat him." The Brothel Queen suddenly spoke up. Both of them looked toward her at the same time.

"You?" The crane-like figure frowned.

"Even if I gave you one hand, you couldn't get close to me. You think you can beat him?" The Brothel Queen nodded, smiling with arrogance:"I can."

"Let's hear it."

"Look at his username.""'Cao the Traitor Wronged Me'... so what?"

"So what?" the Brothel Queen said.

"Cao the Traitor was a famous old pervert in history. This person took the name 'Cao the Traitor Wronged Me,' which means he was influenced by this Cao the Traitor, his heart must also be that of an old pervert."

"Next time you fight him, wear something more revealing, show off your assets and your rear a little."

"Take advantage of when his attention is scattered..." Before she could finish speaking.

"Get lost!" Tong Grandpa stood to the side listening, thinking to himself: Sister Xu, you are truly something else. What a shame, the other person had no interest in that sort of thing... Ahem, ahem... He had already tried using his older sister's photos, after all.

"Right, older sister — what did he mean when he said you were injured?" Tong Grandpa thought of something and suddenly asked. In reality, an injury would be reflected back into the game. It was just that he had completely failed to notice anything. Even the Brothel Queen beside him looked toward the crane-like figure with puzzlement.

"No, he was talking nonsense." The latter's expression remained unchanged, and she said flatly. However, waves surged inside her heart. She was indeed injured. But it was not an ordinary injury, not even the people closest to her could tell... One must know that offline, there were countless people who fought and sparred with her every single day. None of those people had noticed even the slightest thing! A swordsman online, having only crossed blades with her twice over the network, could actually see it?

How was that possible? Even if the other party possessed a martial talent related to the eyes, it would be impossible to see through the network what her real-life condition was, right? Unless it was simply a pure judgment call? But during her battle with him, nothing unusual had appeared on her end... Who exactly was this person? In this moment, her heart was filled with far too much curiosity...,"Haven't touched a spear in a long time..." Wang Xian lay on his bed, savoring the feeling a little.

The Thousand-Army Spear Technique... The basic martial technique he had used the longest in his past life. This was a battlefield martial technique, and also the first basic spear art he had ever learned. Even later, when he relied on his late-blooming comprehension and talent to forcibly master a nation-guarding spear art using his Eighth Realm power, he still could not forget this Thousand-Army Spear Technique. In his own heart. This was truly his white moonlight spear art.

Of course, the Thousand-Army Spear Technique was not the only spear art he had brought to Return to Simplicity. He thought about it for a moment, and suddenly felt a little flat.

"Right now, blade techniques are still more interesting..." The next day. After his morning training, Wang Xian arrived at school. He had just reached the classroom. He had barely sat down when he discovered two letters sealed with hearts in his desk drawer.

"Love letters..." Wang Xian felt a wave of emotion inside. I actually received love letters. No need to think about it, it was definitely the result of yesterday's events.

"Don't bother looking — I sent both of them." Zhou Xukun beside him said.

"?"

"Mainly wanted to give you a surprise."

"No, this is more of a fright." Zhou Xukun chuckled:"After something that big happened yesterday, wouldn't you feel a little let down if you didn't receive even one or two love letters?" After saying that, his face was full of envy. No one in high school could pull off that kind of spotlight. A commendation for bravery, recognized by a Grandmaster. Tsk... even if Zhou Xukun were given another high school life over again, he absolutely couldn't pull it off.

"Be honest, who did you deliver them for, and how much of a cut did you take?"

"300 each." Zhou Xukun laughed out loud, then immediately coughed.

"One from Class 7, one from Class 11. They both happened to know me, so they asked me to quietly deliver them to you..."

"I checked them out for you, those two girls are way too hot, you can't handle them."

"Better leave it to me."

"......" Wang Xian smiled and didn't take it seriously. In truth, coming to school today, he could clearly sense that his classmates were looking at him differently. But well, he didn't feel any discomfort about it. Because at most within half a month, or even just a few days, everyone would return to that dull and repetitive high school life. Just like that, over a month later. January 17, 2025. The first semester of senior year was about to end. On this day.

"Li Zihang, Chen Yuting, Zhou Xukun..." On the podium, Cui Sanyuan's expression was calm.

"You three have passed the Martial Arts Class assessment." The three students below simultaneously let out a breath of relief. Two days before the semester ended, the school had conducted one final simple assessment for the class representatives from each class. All of them passed. After all, they had received one extra session of Grandmaster guidance. As for Wang Xian, he did not participate in the assessment.

To be precise, after the Grandmaster's martial demonstration that day, the school had approved him to enter the Martial Arts Class early.

"Tomorrow is the holiday." Cui Sanyuan looked at the students below.

"Winter break is only one month. After this one month, there will be less than 4 months until the Martial Exam. Teacher hopes that you won't think that just because it's winter break, you can relax your training."

"Additionally, the four students who have joined the Martial Arts Class, take one day of rest, and gather the day after tomorrow for arrangements regarding additional training." The Martial Arts Class, naturally, could not let winter break go to waste. If you want to be faster than others, you have to put in more time than others. ➤ Next: One Month Later, Life Force Surge, Renewing the Agreement with Ye Miyue
