Journey Through the Heavens: Starting with Chinese Martial Arts!

"Hey boss, this chick's got a real hottie, how about we give her some sex first?"

"Waaaaah!"

"Fools! We're after her money, not murder. All of you, shut up your thoughts. She's our bargaining chip in our negotiations with Zhao Tianming. If you want to die, I won't stop you."

"..."

Chen Jueshang stood on the roof of an abandoned building. Although there was no one around, he could hear the conversations and noises coming from downstairs.

"It seems I've been transported to a modern world. I just wonder if this world has any supernatural systems." He climbed to a high vantage point and could clearly see every car passing by on the highway.

According to the star rating system of the bronze plates, most of the one-star worlds should be in the Dharma-ending Age, while a small portion is moving towards the Dharma-ending Age.

Therefore, in order to find out whether a supernatural system exists in this world, Chen Jueshang needs to find someone to ask.

Of course, you can't get anything out of someone of low status; he needs to find someone of higher status to question.

Listening to the kidnappers' conversation below, it was clear that the kidnapped young girl was of high status and should know something.

"Giving me connections right at the start, this bronze mirror is quite thoughtful." Chen Jueshang chuckled and turned to go downstairs.

……

Zhao Yuxin stared in terror at the three burly men wearing black stockings and hoods, especially the two who were giving her lewd looks. Her delicate body trembled uncontrollably, and tears streamed down her cheeks, like a flower about to be destroyed.

She felt utterly desperate.

"Zhao Tianming, your daughter is in my hands. If you don't want anything to happen to her, pay five million US dollars to ransom her right now, or you can expect to be collecting her corpse."

After the kidnapper leader finished speaking, he ripped the tape off Zhao Yuxin's mouth and handed her the phone: "Here, say something to your dad."

"Dad, save me! They want to... Waaah!" Before Zhao Yuxin could finish speaking, the kidnappers next to her reapplied the tape.

"Did you hear that? Okay, the time is 3 PM. Put the money under the South Bridge tunnel. Also, don't try anything funny. If you dare call the police, I'll kill the hostage!" After saying that, the kidnapper leader hung up the phone.

However, at that moment, a kidnapper patted his boss lightly on the shoulder: "Boss, it looks like someone's coming."

Upon hearing this, the other three all turned to look at the figure slowly approaching.

The three kidnappers looked suspicious.

Zhao Yuxin's eyes were hopeful, her mind filled with fantasies of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress, and she was even considering marrying him.

However, as the newcomers slowly revealed their appearance, the three kidnappers' suspicion turned into ruthlessness, shattering Zhao Yuxin's beautiful vision.

Because the person who came was a young boy with a youthful appearance.

"Where did this kid come from? Get out of here!" the kidnapper leader shouted sternly, his eyes filled with hostility.

"Whoosh!"

Without wasting words, Chen Jueshang stepped forward under the astonished gazes of the three men, suddenly appearing in front of the kidnapper leader and gently pressing down with his hand.

With tremendous force, the kidnapper leader was forced to his knees with a loud bang.

By the time Chen Jueshang withdrew his hand, the kidnapper leader had already fainted.

"Boss!" The other two kidnappers were shocked and were about to draw their guns when Chen Jueshang "gently lulled them to sleep."

Zhao Yuxin looked stunned, her eyes wide open, as if she had witnessed a legend come back to life, and she kept making "woo woo woo" noises.

At the same time, she secretly observed the boy's appearance.

To be honest, he really was a handsome and dashing young man. His black hair cascaded down his shoulders and back, and he wore a black robe, looking like a reclusive master who had come out of some great mountain.

"Could this be the expert that Sister Yuanhuang was talking about?" Zhao Yuxin suddenly thought of Sister Yuanhuang, who had left not long ago. It seemed that she could also do this.

Just as Zhao Yuxin's thoughts were racing, Chen Jueshang stepped forward and untied her.

Zhao Yuxin felt the rope loosen and her body relax. She immediately came to her senses and tore off the tape stuck to her pink lips: "Thank you, senior."

That's what they call it on TV, right?

"Senior?" Chen Jueshang was a little confused. Zhao Yuxin seemed to have noticed something amiss and asked doubtfully, "Isn't Senior a reclusive master of Chinese martial arts?"

"Yes." Chen Jueshang nodded, his expression unchanged, and said, "It's just that I grew up in the mountains and have never been down there, so I don't know much about the outside world."

"Then you must be a Dan Jin master like Sister Yuanhuang, right?"

"Hmm, that should be about right."

"..."

After some subtle questioning, Chen Jueshang finally learned what kind of world this was, and what kind of person Sister Yuanhuang was, as Zhao Yuxin had mentioned.

The system of this world is divided into Ming Jin (manifest strength), An Jin (hidden strength), Hua Jin (transformation strength), Dan Jin (elixir strength), Gang Jin (罡 strength), and finally Shen Jin (divine strength).

That's right, this is a world of traditional Chinese martial arts.

However, in modern times, traditional Chinese martial arts have declined. The advent of firearms has made the once-thriving martial arts almost a thing of the past in modern times.

With the changing times and the need for social stability, traditional Chinese martial arts lost its fertile ground and could only take root and sprout again overseas.

As for Sister Yuanhuang, whom Zhao Yuxin mentioned, her full name is Chen Yuanhuang. She is an older sister she met during a camping trip in the wild. She is skilled in martial arts and wants to teach her martial arts.

Even in Zhao Yuxin's account, this Chen Yuanhuang could easily walk on water and turn iron into mud, which would be like a myth in modern times.

However, Chen Jueshang did not see these forms of expression as the main point. The real point was the inner core of these forms. He was also a practitioner of boxing, and although the worlds were different, the principles of boxing were similar.

The opponent's boxing skills are almost at their peak. The next level up is Gang Jin and Shen Jin, which are realms that boxing skills cannot reach.

"Alright, call your dad to let him know you're safe and have him come pick you up now. I'm leaving." Chen Jueshang handed the phone he had taken to Zhao Yuxin and then turned to leave.

"Hey, you just came down from the mountain, you probably don't have anywhere to go, right?" After spending some time together, Zhao Yuxin and Chen Jueshang became familiar with each other, and seeing that he was about to leave, she quickly asked.

Chen Jueshang nodded slightly.

Seeing him nod, Zhao Yuxin smiled and said, "Why don't you come stay at my house? I'll have my dad arrange a room for you."

After much deliberation, Chen Jueshang finally nodded in agreement. It just so happened that he wanted to find someone to learn Chinese martial arts, and a close neighbor was better than a distant relative, and there just happened to be one right in front of him.

Moreover, he is a master of Dan Jin (a type of internal energy cultivation), so his vision and understanding of boxing techniques are likely sufficient to make him his teacher.

"Then I'll tell him when I call." Zhao Yuxin took a few steps and then started making the call.

She quickly returned after just a few brief words: "OK, my dad said he'll be coming over right away."

"Okay." Chen Jueshang nodded.

"Oh, right." Zhao Yuxin seemed to have thought of something, and said with a smile, "Sister Yuanhuang will be coming along too, and I'll introduce her to you then."

Unfortunately, Zhao Yuxin didn't know that Chen Jueshang had already gotten the gist of her words when he came downstairs, otherwise she probably would have turned into a hamster with puffed-up cheeks.

"Alright, I'd also like to see the power of other Dan Jin masters."
