Martial Arts: After ten years of sword-drawing, the Sword God must bow his head when he sees me

Chapter 170 The one who reigns supreme in the world is born with all his meridians open.

"Any questions?"

As Shen Ping'an withdrew his hand, Zhang San Niang asked.

Shen Ping'an shook his head and said, "The natural talent of the two of you was already one in ten thousand. I originally thought that with the Nine Lotus Heart Flower and Blood Bodhi and other medicines, the natural talent of the two of you would be able to improve to the level of being the best in the world."

"It seems that unless we can find three more medicines similar to the Nine Lotus Heart Flower that can improve your physical constitution, it will be difficult for your physical constitution to reach the level of being unparalleled in the world."

Lianxing asked in astonishment, "Just a difference of one level, and you need so many medicines to improve your physical constitution?"

Not only Lianxing, but the others were also surprised.

Shen Ping'an explained, "It's not that simple."

As he spoke, Shen Ping'an raised his index finger, and a little tea was poured from the kettle onto several cups on the table, each cup containing a different amount of tea.

Shen Ping'an continued, "Just like these six teacups, each represents a talent that is one in a million. The least full cup is only half full, while the most full cup is almost overflowing."

Even within the same level of innate talent, there are differences in quality.

"Just like Lianxing's innate talent, which is also one in ten thousand, her progress in cultivation is somewhat inferior to Yaoyue's."

"The further you improve your physical constitution, the greater the gap will become, and similarly, the more difficult it will be to improve."

"The difference between one in ten thousand and being the best in the world may seem like just one level, but in reality, they are worlds apart."

The method of physiognomy testing can only determine a person's approximate physiognomy condition.

Even Shen Ping'an, without the aid of special medication, would find it difficult to determine the specific condition of another person's internal bones.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with her body, Zhang San Niang's tension completely dissipated.

Then she changed the subject and said, "Speaking of which, although Third Sister knows that there are nine grades of innate talent, she doesn't know what the difference is between having the most outstanding talent in the world and being one in ten thousand."

It is common knowledge in the martial arts world that the higher a martial artist's aptitude, the faster they will cultivate and the greater their potential.

Such unparalleled talent exists, but very few people throughout history have ever seen it.

It doesn't even mention what differences exist between top-tier forces when a martial artist's aptitude reaches the pinnacle of the world.

For a moment, everyone became curious and looked at Shen Ping'an.

It wasn't an important matter to begin with, so Shen Ping'an didn't avoid talking about it.

"Those whose innate talent is unparalleled in the world are born with all their meridians open and their internal energy concentrated, allowing them to directly enter the Returning Origin Realm. Moreover, one day of cultivation by those whose innate talent is unparalleled in the world is equivalent to one month of cultivation by those whose innate talent is one in ten thousand."

"Before reaching the Celestial Realm, there will be no bottlenecks, and breakthroughs will be as easy as drinking water."

"Sigh~"

As Shen Ping'an finished speaking, both Lianxing and Qu Feiyan, as well as Shen Qingshan, couldn't help but gasp.

Even Yaoyue and Zhang Sanniang couldn't help but be moved.

Zhang San Niang murmured, "Born with all meridians open, one can directly enter the Returning Origin Realm simply by cultivating. This is a bit too terrifying."

Even Zhang San Niang and Yao Yue, both of whom started cultivating from a young age.

However, it took the two women ten years to reach the Returning Origin Realm.

One can only imagine how terrifying it is that someone can directly enter the Returning Origin Realm after just gathering internal energy.
Yaoyue was the first to react and commented, "If that's the case, it certainly deserves the title of 'unparalleled in the world'."

Then, Yaoyue looked at Shen Ping'an and asked, "If one's innate talent has such miraculous effects after reaching the pinnacle of the world, what would happen if one's comprehension reached the pinnacle of the world?"

Shen Ping'an said, "Comprehension is more difficult to measure than innate talent. After all, innate talent can be judged by meridians, dantian, and other aspects, but comprehension is too ethereal and difficult to assess."

This was not Shen Ping'an talking nonsense, but it was indeed the case.

A martial artist's comprehension is unpredictable; it can only be judged by the speed at which they practice martial arts.

Even for Shen Ping'an, the system can only determine the level of his comprehension.

Shen Ping'an did not offer an explanation, but Yaoyue and Zhang Sanniang suddenly thought of Shen Ping'an.

Thinking of Shen Ping'an's martial arts skills and past performance, Yaoyue and the others all showed a look of understanding.

In their eyes, if Shen Ping'an had not possessed extraordinary comprehension, how could he have reached the Earth Sword Realm, the fifth level of swordsmanship, at such a young age? And how could he have created Heaven-rank martial arts such as the "Ethereal Sword Technique" and the "Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique" at such a young age?

Taking in the reactions of the others, Shen Ping'an could easily guess what they were thinking.

Shen Ping'an did not offer any explanation for this.

Shen Ping'an's current level of comprehension is only "one in ten thousand".

But who knows what rare treasures he might receive from the system one day, which could propel Shen Ping'an's comprehension to the level of "unparalleled in the world"?
Although the medicine prepared this time, which combined the Nine Lotus Heart Flower and Blood Bodhi, did not cause a qualitative change in the three women's physical constitution.

The improvements it can bring are also significant.

If we consider Yaoyue, Zhang Sanniang, and Lianxing's original talents, it might take them until they reach the Celestial Realm before they turn forty.

Now, with the improvement of their cultivation and the enhancement of their physical constitution, they will have the opportunity to enter the Celestial Realm in a few years.

A master of the Celestial Realm in his twenties is extremely rare in the martial arts world, truly deserving of the title "prodigy".

Just then, as if they had noticed something, everyone suddenly turned their heads to look at the entrance of the courtyard.

Just as their gazes shifted to the courtyard entrance, they saw a figure rush to the entrance like an arrow released from a bow.

It was the man from the Azure Dragon Society who wore the blood-patterned mask.

Standing at the entrance of the courtyard, the man wearing a blood-patterned mask bowed and said, "Reporting to Young Master Shen, the Second Dragon Head has sent an urgent letter, instructing that Young Master Shen open it personally."

As he spoke, the man handed over the envelope he was holding with both hands.

Shen Ping'an gestured, and Qu Feiyan immediately leaped to the courtyard entrance and took the envelope from the man wearing the blood-patterned mask.

As Qu Feiyan accepted the envelope, the man standing at the courtyard gate took a few steps back and then quickly turned and left.

Qu Feiyan then walked back and handed the envelope to Shen Ping'an.

As he pulled the paper out of the envelope, Shen Ping'an's eyes narrowed slightly as he quickly scanned the few lines of text on the paper.

Noticing the change in Shen Ping'an's expression, the group of people all showed some doubt.

Just then, a white bird that resembled a falcon but was smaller and more agile than an eagle suddenly flew above them. After circling a few times, it flew straight down towards Lianxing.

Shen Ping'an had already seen the messenger bird of Yihua Palace when he was in the capital, so he recognized it immediately when he saw it again.

As Lianxing removed the bamboo tube tied to the bird's leg, pulled out the paper strip inside, and glanced at it, her expression, which had been perfectly normal just moments before, suddenly changed.

Noticing the change in Lianxing's expression, Yaoyue frowned slightly and asked, "What is it?"

Lianxing said in a deep voice, "The Nameless Island, together with the Twelve Constellations, once again intercepted and killed the delegation from my Yihua Palace that was collecting tribute. One hundred and seven disciples were killed, and twelve palace elders were killed or missing. Among them, those disciples died before..."

Although the rest of the words were not spoken, since Lianxing specifically mentioned them, how could the others not know that these disciples of Yihua Palace must have been humiliated before they died?

"boom!"

Almost the instant Lianxing finished speaking, Yaoyue's enraged inner energy surged uncontrollably, and with a wave of her hand, she shattered the stone table in front of her into pieces.

"court death!"

After exhaling slowly, Lianxing continued, "The people from Nameless Island and the Twelve Constellations have now surrounded Embroidered Jade Valley. The palace has activated the mechanisms inside Embroidered Jade Valley, preventing those from Nameless Island from attacking Yihua Palace for the time being."

However, just as the others were frowning over what the Nameless Island had done, Shen Ping'an glanced at the messenger bird on Lianxing's shoulder.

"Since Embroidered Jade Valley has been surrounded, how did this messenger bird manage to break through the encirclement?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately understood Shen Ping'an's meaning.

Lianxing's expression changed: "Young Master Shen, are you saying that this news was deliberately released by Nameless Island and the Twelve Constellations to lure us back to Yihua Palace?"

Shen Ping'an nodded slightly in acknowledgement.

He then placed the letter on the table.

Yaoyue and Zhang Sanniang glanced at the letter and found that it also described the siege of Xiuyu Valley.
