Snow: The Crown Prince of Chu, forced into marriage by the Minister of the Southern Palace with his

"Master seems to be proceeding with meticulous planning, but now I can't see how my counterattack was blocked after several moves, how a new life emerged after the dragon was severed, or how this victory was actually a crushing defeat..."

"What does winning or losing matter?"

Cao Changqing was startled and looked closely at the chessboard, only to find that it was exactly as Jiang Xuan had described.

He never imagined that Jiang Xuan's vision would be so far-reaching, nor did he realize that Jiang Xuan was no longer an infant in swaddling clothes; he had already grown up.

"Sigh~" Cao Changqing sighed softly, "The tallest tree in the forest will surely be felled by the wind."

Jiang Xuan laughed and said, "But if one doesn't stand out in the forest, or grow tall here, how can one attract a raging storm?"

Cao Changqing chuckled, "You're quite the smooth talker."

"I shouldn't cause Master any worry on this trip," Jiang Xuan said with a light laugh.

A system notification also came to my ears.

[Sign-in at Sunset Valley complete. Congratulations, host, you have received the reward: True Meaning of Martial Arts!]

Chapter Two: The Sign-in System and the True Meaning of Martial Arts!

Martial arts training progresses from the inside out.

It originates from the blood, fills the whole body, and is transported as qi.

When combined with diplomacy, it becomes a powerful force.

Going a step further, we must begin to explore that seemingly real yet illusory spirit.

Martial arts cultivation is simply about essence, energy, and spirit.

But at its core, it all comes down to the heart!

Therefore, one should preserve one's vital energy as the foundation and concentrate one's essence to transform it into spirit!

This is what is meant by the true meaning of martial arts!

At that moment, the system's voice rang out.

Jiang Xuan then felt his spiritual will begin to grow and converge wildly.

It seems as if it can fly infinitely far in an instant, and as if it can grasp the entire world within it.

Such a sudden change.

This also made Cao Changqing's face tremble violently.

Unexpectedly, a game of chess led Jiang Xuan to a profound understanding of his own heart.

It even gave rise to the true meaning of martial arts!

It should be understood that only by cultivating to the first rank and being called a grandmaster can one find their own true meaning of martial arts!

Jiang Xuan's talent is simply too terrifying!

Especially his will!

Not for the country, not for the nation, not for the world, but only for my own unrestrained joy!

Such a brilliant will!

It might sound selfish, but Cao Changqing knew that it wasn't.

He was closest to the scene and could clearly sense exactly what Jiang Xuan's will was.

My heart is the heart of Heaven!

With youthful vigor, do what you believe in!

So unrestrained, so arrogant!

This might lead to the creation of a Confucian sage in the future!

"Calm your mind! Guard your will!"

Cao Changqing was shocked, but seeing Jiang Xuan's current state, he took a deep breath and roared like thunder.

moment.

Like a resounding bell, it calmed Jiang Xuan's lightheaded feeling.

He also looked at his own attribute panel.

[Host: Jiang Xuan!]

Age: Sixteen!

[Realm: Pointing to the Profound!]

[Check-in location: Sunset Valley (100%)!]

[Optional check-in locations: Shangyin Academy, Huishan Daxueping, Xiangfan City!]

[Rewards obtained: Battlefield Combat Techniques, Overbearing Swordplay, Tile Character Usage Card, True Meaning of Martial Arts!]

call--

Open your eyes.

Jiang Xuan let out a long sigh.

Unexpectedly, simply accepting the reward of the true meaning of martial arts caused his realm to soar directly to the Finger Profound Realm.

This system is simply invincible!

Although his strength hasn't changed much, he's still a fourth-rank official.

But with just a little accumulation, one can solidify their realm to the Finger Profound Realm!

This time won't be long!

Although there are countless immortals on land in this world, the Finger Profound Realm is enough for him to roam the world.

Moreover, with the rewards he received from previous check-ins, he was even able to venture into many dangerous places!

Furthermore, regarding the well-shaped character card, although it can only be used three times, it is likely that anyone below the level of a terrestrial deity would find it difficult to escape alive.

“Zhi Xuan…” Even Cao Changqing’s eyes trembled for a moment after he noticed the aura emanating from Jiang Xuan.

After a long while, he finally spoke, "Very well, Your Highness has grasped the true meaning of martial arts, and now you will have the power to protect yourself when you travel the world."

...........................

The next morning.

Cao Changqing took out a chess piece and handed it to Jiang Xuan: "Keep this chess piece safe. If I need to find you, I will be able to sense it."

As the crown prince of Chu, Jiang Xuan would naturally not be left to roam the world alone.

But nowadays, there is indeed no one available, so he had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.

This chess piece contains the key to his strongest attack.

Even if Jiang Xuan encountered a terrestrial immortal, he could still escape from it.

Jiang Xuan reached out and took it without saying anything.

He said "Take care" and then headed out of the mountain.

The system's check-in location is not designated, but can be chosen by the user.

This undoubtedly gave Jiang Xuan a great deal of autonomy.

He looked at the three locations marked on the system.

Huishan Daxueping, Xiangfan City, Shangyin Confucian Temple!

With the Xuanyuan Great Pan guarding Daxueping in Huishan and adjacent to Longhu Mountain, I'm afraid my identity will be exposed if I go there.

Xiangfan City was the territory of the Prince of Jing'an.

Although Jiang Xuan's impression of Prince Jing'an was only that of Pei Nanwei, the bed armor, as the king of a country, he was probably also a dragon's den and a tiger's lair.

The only place that might be suitable for me is Shangyin Academy.

"I never imagined that the first place I chose would be the dangerous place my master had mentioned."

Jiang Xuan smiled, but didn't take it to heart.

With the true meaning of martial arts, his cultivation progressed at an extremely rapid pace.

You can feel yourself becoming stronger without even having to deliberately cultivate.

I'm afraid that once he reaches the Shangyin Academy, he will be able to solidify his cultivation level completely at the Finger Profound realm.

Moreover, I wonder what kind of reward I'll get if I sign in there?

Although the system's check-in feature has a progress bar, the rewards are quite generous.

For example, this sign-in has already made him the youngest Grandmaster in the world!

"System, check-in location locked as Shangyin Academy!"

[Ding! Check-in location locked. Current check-in progress: 0.]

While thinking.

Jiang Xuan's gaze shifted slightly as he sensed a fierce battle erupting not far away.

"Oh?"

But Jiang Xuan's eyes were shining.

He wanted to test just how powerful he was, now that he had the true essence of martial arts!

With that thought in mind, Jiang Xuan flew towards the direction from which the sounds of battle were coming.

..............................

"Miss, you can't escape. Be a good girl and come back with me. Maybe the master will show leniency!"

Several burly men in uniform spoke in cold voices.

If there were other people present, they would certainly be able to tell who these people are.

They came from the Xie family of Jiayang, one of the ten most powerful clans of the Spring and Autumn Period!
