"You've become a cheap master..." Wu Shen smiled. "However, I have not yet completely broken through. My current level is just a half-step...into the state of embracing the elixir. I'll give it a new term now, just call it embracing the elixir."
"Why would such a thought occur?"
"In ancient classical texts, it was said that swallowing a golden pill would elevate one beyond the mortal realm. Therefore, I believe that my abilities have reached the realm of those who have consumed the pill."
"It seems that you have found your own path. You just mentioned that you are at the stage of 'Half-Step Grasping the Elixir'. Does that mean when you reach that realm, you will be able to break through to the Ninth Order of Extraordinary Abilities level?"
"I am not entirely sure, but I have a feeling that even if my abilities have improved, I would at most have reached the pinnacle of the eighth-order paranormal abilities, just like you, who is unable to reach the ninth-order abilities," Wu Shen said with a laugh and a curse. "So tell me, what do I need to do next? As martial artists, we only believe in fate and coincidence. You have helped me, so naturally, I must help you as my disciple."
"Protect and and ensure that no harm comes to him!" Chen Jianhui's expression was very serious. "You understand what I'm talking about! He's a photokinetic ability user!"
"I can do this without you telling me to since he has already mastered one of my martial arts!"
Chen Jianhui felt somewhat embarrassed. "Then... can we discuss the terms?"
"Get lost!" Wu Shen kicked Chen Jianhui, who unexpectedly flew out one hundred and eight thousand miles away. "Do you really think I'm someone who can be easily fooled?"
"Master, Mr. Chen..."
"He is not actually in trouble, that guy is just pretending! He doesn't need superpowers, he only wants you to feel sorry for him and make you owe him in the future! Let me tell you, he is very cunning! Of course, he is also extremely powerful. If you want to consider him as your teacher, I won't object, after all, he is very protective."
"That thing you mentioned before your fight..." Jing Jing hesitated, unsure of what to say next.
"Well, you know, there are some martial arts masters among the various ethnic groups who couldn't help but want to test their might," Wu Shen smiled a little. "If I weren't so old, I probably would have volunteered to fight against those various ethnic groups."
Do you know, that in the battlefield there is actually a place called the space battlefield? It is specifically designed for the Wanzu who are under 30 years old, or rather their bone age, of course! Chen Jianhui went to a place called the Invincible Battlefield Edge... That place is filled with tenth-level mutants. He is nothing but a weakling who was just passing through there!
"Chicken... Your strength isn't the same as his? Then why..."
"Are you implying that I'm scolding myself?" Wu Shen smiled indifferently. "Do you know why the science and liberal arts were separated in the past and all subjects were merged into liberal arts?"
"I don't know." Jing Jing didn't know why he had to bring up these things, but he also knew that Wu Shen must have a purpose for saying them.
"Wu Ke is easy to understand. When the Wanzu appeared years ago, everyone practiced martial arts and many strong people emerged. The separation of the sciences only occurred after the appearance of abilities! Why is this? Abilities progress quickly and even the weakest ability has a role in increasing intelligence! Your light-based ability is top-notch in its enhancement! That's why your teacher asked me to protect you, for this reason."
"Only in the past two decades have superpowers emerged, but they are still not as strong as martial arts at the same level," Wu Shen grinned as he looked at Jing Jing. Jing Jing cursed inwardly, thinking, "Why did I agree to wait here for him?"
Then he could only say, "So this means that your strength is stronger than Teacher Chen's, right?"
"What else can we do?" Wu Shen smoothly rubbed his head. "The appearance of the Ten Thousand Clans has brought more responsibilities to humanity, such as deciphering their written language and breaking their martial arts techniques. It is no longer enough to rely solely on physical strength to enter university, but rather one must have intelligence. Therefore, although concentrating all the humanities together may seem stressful, we all believe it is necessary."
Of
"Firstly, there is a bonus added, secondly, the people from other tribes have invaded and their demands from us have become even higher!"
"Not bad, I am pleased that you understand me in this way. It's like comparing the academic aptitude of an ordinary university student with that of an aerospace researcher. They are completely different!"
"Why doesn't Starry Sky University lower their admission requirements? Since they have such high expectations for talent, why don't they accept someone like me, who was the top student in humanities?"
"Different." Wu Shen shook his head. "Star Sky University requires well-rounded talents with both abilities and intelligence. These individuals are mostly referred to as 'invincible reserves', do you understand what that means?"
Wu Shen's heart trembled, "Invincible? Is it referring to those with powers of level ten or above as mentioned in the legends?
"Well done, you really did hear it correctly just now. The unbeatable battlefield is filled with level ten superpowers. Therefore, being unbeatable means being of a level higher than ten superpowers!"
Mr. Wu smiled, seeming to be amused at himself. 'Xingkong University is equivalent to China's top universities such as Peking University and Tsinghua University in the past. The university cultivates talents in creating atomic bombs, and not only that, but they must also possess extremely strong personal abilities. For instance, you - your ability in manipulating light can be developed into a martial art or it could perhaps be used to decipher others' martial arts. However, have you ever considered the possibility of being killed by the people of the Wan race? Do you have the ability to defend yourself? Even if you haven't shared the findings of your deciphering, you could still face death.'
"That is why your teacher has asked you to come and learn martial arts!" Wu's voice rang out powerfully. "You must be able to protect yourself in order to share your research and benefit future generations! Even Chen Jianhui has gone to the battleground of the Ten Thousand Clans. That can only mean one thing: The Human clan can no longer withstand the attacks from so many other clans!"
Jing's heart trembled, but Wu Shen didn't say anything more. He directly threw a book at him and said, "You have no martial arts background, but your physical fitness is good. With this book, The Mother of Ten Thousand Fists, I will let you use your light-attribute ability to analyze it. Then, practice this boxing technique while not being limited by the content of the book. Remember, use what you have analyzed to thoroughly understand this book!"
Jing nodded in agreement, but after Wu left, his expression turned into a pensive one. "Oh dear, it just occurred to me that I don't really know how to use Light-based ability analysis method..."
He looked at the book in front of him, with three large characters written boldly on the cover, "Three-Body Style!"
