Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Ouyang Xiaoxiao, who had been following closely, pointed at Chen Jie's arm and asked:
"Ah Jie, there's something I'd like to ask you."

"How do you take care of your skin? It's so fair and smooth."

"On the way here, I was discussing with my older brother that your skin must have been achieved through some unique skill to be so smooth."

“My older brother insisted that it couldn’t possibly be some kind of evil technique. He said that you have a righteous aura and no trace of evil magic.”

"Tell me, how do you take care of your skin? I want skin as good as that too!"

Chen Jie exuded a sacred aura.

His skin shone with a lustrous, jade-like sheen.

This is the aura of the 'Dao Realm', naturally exuding righteousness.

Chen Jie shook his head and replied with a smile, "I don't know, it's probably something I was born with?"

then,

He casually remarked, "Your martial arts skills are all very high, and you're all so young. It seems that the martial arts of your Ouyang family are extraordinary."

Ouyang Xiaoxiao said with a proud look:

"Of course! My brother has been practicing martial arts for eighteen years and has already broken through to the mid-stage of Transformation Realm. I have been practicing martial arts for twelve years and have already broken through to the late-stage of Dark Realm!"

"By the way, my brother is one of the top ten young martial arts masters in the martial arts world!"

After eighteen years of martial arts practice, he broke through to the mid-stage of Yi Sui Hua Jin (易髓化劲), and after twelve years, he broke through to the late-stage of An Jin (暗劲).

to be frank,
The Ouyang siblings' martial arts talent is absolutely top-notch in the martial arts world.

To know,
Li Lingyue is a princess of the Great Qian Dynasty. She has been carefully cultivated since childhood, possesses unlimited cultivation resources, and has the 'Sword Master of the Startling Clouds' as her master and aunt.

When she was Ouyang Xiaoxiao's age, she had already reached the late stage of the Yi Sui Hua Jin (易髓化劲) stage.

This shows that

The siblings, Ouyang Daxia and Ouyang Xiaoxiao, possess exceptional talent in cultivation.

of course,

Chen Jie's cultivation situation is very special. He has only been practicing martial arts for less than three years, yet he has already become the number one martial artist in the Great Qian Dynasty and has broken through to the 'Indestructible God' realm.

All of this is because he can resonate with the [Martial Saint Sect] and obtain the 'Martial Saint' inheritance.

Master Ouyang looked Chen Jie over again, feeling increasingly satisfied.

This young man is definitely a genius, upright and honest, and there's no way he could be faked.

His martial arts level was only Iron Bone Dark Force, but the aura he exuded gave people a very calm feeling.

Very strong!

This kid is outstanding. If he can be trained by the Ouyang family, he will definitely become the Ouyang family's most outstanding 'battle sword'!
If he knew Chen Jie's true identity, he would probably be so terrified that he would kneel on the ground.

What became the Ouyang family's 'battle sword'!
He is the Prince Qian!
He was a powerful figure who could decide the fate of the Ouyang family with a single word, and even cause a tremor in the Great Qian Dynasty with a stomp of his foot.

"By the way, I heard that Wenzhou Prefecture is about to hold a martial arts tournament, is that right?"

Chen Jie remembered something and asked casually.

He had just overheard people discussing the 'Martial Arts Tournament' on the road outside Wenzhou city.

To his surprise, Ximen Tang was not participating in the Jiangnan Martial Arts Tournament.

"That's right! My sixth sister and I returned to Wenzhou Prefecture this time to participate in the Jiangnan Martial Arts Conference."

Master Ouyang nodded and smiled, saying:
"Do you also want to participate in the martial arts tournament? I can get you an invitation."

Chen Jie asked calmly, "Are there any other requirements for participating in the martial arts tournament?"

The great swordsman Ouyang did not answer; instead, Ouyang Xiaoxiao, who was beside him, explained:

"This Jiangnan Martial Arts Tournament is for the sake of treasure, so naturally there are requirements."

"You've probably heard of the ancient tomb of the founding emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, right?"

"It's already spread throughout the martial arts world that countless forces want to gain access to Emperor Taizu's ancient tomb."

"If there were no quota restrictions, wouldn't that cause chaos?"

“Our Ouyang family has a high reputation in the martial arts world. If you want to participate in the Jiangnan Martial Arts Conference, I can help you get a spot.”

Ok?
Chen Jie was taken aback upon hearing this.

Emperor Taizu of the Daqian Dynasty—Li Chengqian!

This guy changed the name of the Tang Dynasty to the Great Qian Dynasty and moved the capital to Beiping, which was once a barren land.

It seems that the history of the Great Qian Dynasty diverged completely more than a thousand years ago because of this person.

All along,
Chen Jie had many doubts about Li Chengqian, the founding emperor of the Daqian Dynasty.

He even conducted a special investigation into Li Chengqian, but ultimately found that various historical books contained very little information about this founding emperor.

All we know is that he successfully rebelled and changed the fate of the Tang Dynasty.

There are no records regarding how he died or where he was buried.

Unexpectedly, this martial arts gathering in Jiangnan is about the tomb of Li Chengqian.

Upon hearing this news, Chen Jie couldn't help but frown.

How come the Ximen Tang secret service didn't find out about this information?
Chen Jie thought for a moment and asked, "When was the discovery of the tomb of the founding emperor?"

Ouyang Xiaoxiao asked doubtfully, "It was three days ago, wasn't it already spread throughout the martial arts world? You're not telling me that you came to Wenzhou Prefecture not for the martial arts tournament, are you?"

Three days ago?
No wonder I haven't received any news.

At this moment, Chen Jie realized that a month and a half had passed since he was killed by Miyamoto Musashi and thrown into the sea.

He had never been in contact with the inner circle of Ximentang, so naturally he was unaware of recent events.

Do not know why,

Ouyang Xiaoxiao felt very close to Chen Jie. She tossed her hair aside and revealed a rare, charming smile, saying:

"This martial arts tournament is said to be about excavating the treasures from the ancient tomb of the founding emperor."

“Top experts have come from the Western Regions, Tibet, the East, the northern grasslands, Guidong, the southwest, and even Europe.”

"All the major martial arts families and gangs in the martial arts world will participate in this martial arts tournament."

"Ah Jie, this is the biggest event in the martial arts world. If you miss it, you'll never have another chance!"

Her gaze toward Chen Jie grew brighter and brighter.

but,

Chen Jie, however, acted as if he hadn't noticed her expression and exclaimed in surprise:
"Is there no one from the government or Ximen Hall involved?"

If it really is the tomb of Emperor Taizu, the royal family cannot remain indifferent, and Li Lingyue will definitely not sit idly by.

in addition,

Ximentang cannot simply abandon the martial arts world to its own devices.

Whether it's Zeng Xuanhuai or Aunt Thirteen and the others, they will definitely be in control of the situation.

Ouyang Xiaoxiao was taken aback upon hearing this, then shook her head and said:
"I don't know! Ever since Qian Wang Chen Jie was killed by Miyamoto Musashi with a single blow more than a month ago, Ximen Hall's forces have been shrinking."

"The Kwantung Army and the Russian army stationed in Northeast China have begun to attack Shanhaiguan."

"The imperial court and Ximen Tang are busy with the defense of the capital and have deployed heavy troops to defend Shandong and Nanjing. How can they possibly attend to the Jiangnan Martial Arts Conference?"

"Furthermore, I've heard that the [Martial Saint Gate] might be opened inside the ancient tomb of the founding emperor!"

[Martial Saint Sect]?
Om-!
Chen Jie's mind went blank for a moment, and his eyes widened.

He knew the Martial Saint Sect better than anyone else!
Because the 'Blood Dragon Jade' in his mind can open the [Martial Saint Gate]!
His current achievements, his becoming the Qian King, and his ability to travel between the two worlds are all thanks to the Martial Saint Sect!
This is his biggest secret.

Could the secret of the Martial Saint Sect be hidden in the ancient tomb of the founding emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty?

this moment,
Chen Jie even had a premonition.

The "Martial Saint Sect" in my mind may be related to Li Chengqian's ancient tomb.

call--!
He couldn't help but take a deep breath to calm himself down.

At this time, he had some ideas about the ancient tomb of Emperor Taizu Li Chengqian.

Once the secrets of the Martial Saint Sect are unraveled, perhaps I will be able to understand many things.

Originally, Master Ouyang was not particularly interested in the Jiangnan Martial Arts Conference.

but,

This martial arts tournament is different; it concerns the future of the major families and gangs in the martial arts world.

It might even open the [Martial Saint Gate]!
The martial arts of the Ouyang family have always focused on strength, which is why the great hero Ouyang is incredibly strong and can carry a heavy machine gun around.

None of his ancestors had ever cultivated to the level of 'Undying Before Godhood', let alone 'Martial Saint'!
If one can obtain the inheritance of the Martial Saint, then it is indeed possible for the descendants of the Ouyang family to cultivate to the Martial Saint realm.

then,

Upon hearing the news of the martial arts tournament, he immediately rushed back to Wenzhou from Nanchang. He was determined to participate in the Jiangnan Martial Arts Tournament and enter the ancient tomb of Emperor Taizu.

Even if it's just one chance to open the [Martial Saint Gate], it would be a worthwhile life.

"Brother Jie, you look so delicate and fair-skinned, you probably haven't practiced any external martial arts, have you?"

"How strong are you? Can you lift this heavy machine gun?"

Master Ouyang patted the heavy machine gun beside him and said with a smile.

Generally speaking, there aren't many people in the martial arts world who only practice external martial arts.

In particular, cultivation techniques specifically designed to cultivate strength are extremely rare.

The cultivation of external martial arts requires persistent physical training to fully unleash its power.

It was tough!
Moreover, cultivating power places extremely high demands on the body and requires exceptional talent.

Once martial arts skills have reached a certain level, sheer strength is no longer enough to play a decisive role.

Generally, the pursuit is for speed, strength, agility, reaction, and so on.

Martial artists who solely cultivate physical strength are extremely rare.

of course,

That's not to say that physical training is useless.

On the contrary, if one can train their strength to the extreme, their combat power will be terrifying.

One force can defeat ten!

When ultimate power surpasses everything, the terrifying combat power unleashed can destroy any obstacle.

If one can combine extreme strength with speed, agility, and other attributes, their combat power will increase exponentially.

Chen Jie shook his head and smiled, then said:

"I also practiced external martial arts for a while!"

He has mastered the Thirteen Protectors Horizontal Training Technique to the point of perfection, and is able to condense the Horizontal Training Dharma Image!

Throughout the entire Great Qian Dynasty, if he were to claim second place in external martial arts, no one would dare to claim first.

Hero Ouyang was taken aback upon hearing this. He had not expected that Chen Jie, who looked so delicate and fair-skinned, had actually practiced external martial arts!
"No way? Someone like you has practiced external martial arts? How much power can you unleash with one punch?"

Chen Jie smiled and replied, "I haven't tested it specifically, but a punch should be able to unleash several thousand pounds of force!"

Since his martial arts breakthrough reached the 'Indestructible Godhood' realm, he has never actually tested the limits of his power.

His body has undergone a transformation, the power of his Dharma form has condensed, and his power is like a volcanic eruption, capable of destroying a warship with a single punch.

of course,

This refers to the explosive release of maximum power, not just pure muscle strength.

In terms of pure muscle strength, it shouldn't be a problem to deliver a punch with the force of several thousand pounds.

"Impossible! Several thousand kilograms of force!"

Master Ouyang looked on in shock, scrutinizing Chen Jie from head to toe.

Ouyang Xiaoxiao, standing next to him, smiled with her lips pursed, seemingly not believing Chen Jie's words at all.

In the martial arts world, there are not many external martial arts that cultivate strength.

The Ouyang family's martial arts emphasize physical cultivation, specifically training one's own strength and stimulating human potential.

A martial artist at the Iron Bone Dark Force realm is already quite remarkable if they can unleash a force of a thousand jin.

At the level of Yi Sui Hua Jin (易髓化劲), even if one can unleash a force of two thousand jin when using their techniques, they are absolutely considered to be exceptionally gifted and possess immense strength.

Therefore,
With Chen Jie's martial arts cultivation at the Iron Bone Dark Force level, his maximum power burst reaching 1,000 jin would already be extremely strong.

Chen Jie now says he can unleash a force of several thousand kilograms.

Would you die if you didn't brag?

I thought you were upright and gentle, but I never expected you to be such a braggart.

Master Ouyang frowned slightly, seemingly a little annoyed by Chen Jie's boasting.

"Why are you so surprised?"

Seeing the change in Ouyang Daxia's expression, Chen Jie smiled helplessly.

"Haha—I never expected you to be so talented, with such incredible strength!"

Instead of publicly exposing Chen Jie's boasting, Master Ouyang pretended to praise him.

but,

Judging from the expression on his face, he didn't believe it at all.

He had practiced the Ouyang family's "external skills" for eighteen years, and he knew better than anyone how difficult it was to improve one's own strength.

There are almost no shortcuts to cultivating strength, apart from hard work and talent.

The kid in front of me doesn't look like someone who's practiced 'external martial arts' at all, judging from his frame and build.

He actually claimed that he could deliver a punch with the force of several thousand kilograms. Isn't that a joke?
I never expected this kid to be so vain and to like bragging.

Damn it——!
Misreading!

Master Ouyang couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

at this time,

Roars, screams, and shrieks echoed through the streets of Wenzhou!
A ferocious beast with an iron chain around its neck rampaged through the street, roaring repeatedly.

Awooo—Awooo—!
The deep sound waves spread around, sending chills down one's spine.

have to say,

Riding such a ferocious beast down the street is indeed domineering, stylish, and eye-catching.

The enormous 'king' character above its head exudes a terrifying aura.

Coupled with the deep roar, even ordinary people would tremble upon hearing it.

A magnificent tiger!

This is a tiger weighing over 400 kilograms; it is enormous.

It is clear,
The tiger had gone out of control and was acting like a madman; the iron cage around its neck couldn't hold it back at all.

Therefore,
It was seen running wildly through the street, letting out a series of howls.

These enormous tigers are usually captured in the wild, then tamed and used as mounts.

have to say,

Riding on the back of a tiger and strolling down the street would certainly be quite a cool experience.

at this time,

The striped tiger had gone berserk, and many people screamed in fright.

Some people were so frightened that they fell to the ground and were trampled by the panicked crowd, screaming in pain.

The streets of Wenzhou were in complete chaos.

"Mommy! Mommy—!"

A little girl was seen crying loudly in the street, terrified.

Many martial artists on the street gripped their longswords, ready to rush out and save people.

but,

When they saw the sign hanging on the striped tiger, they immediately dared not approach.

Ouch——!
The tiger went completely berserk and pounced on the little girl not far away.

Its eyes were bloodshot, clearly indicating that it had not been completely tamed.

Its speed is unbelievable, and its power is terrifying.

Each swipe of its claws easily overturns the surrounding wooden frame.

Even with each step it took, the ground around it would shake violently.

Those two fangs emitted a terrifying light, looking extremely fierce.

at this time,

The little girl who had fallen in front of the tiger was so frightened that her face turned pale and her pants were wet with urine.

"No! Baby—baby—!"

A woman, standing a dozen meters away from the little girl, witnessed this scene and burst into tears of terror.

Ouch——!
The magnificent tiger opened its mouth, let out a furious roar, and then lunged at the little girl's head! (End of Chapter)
