Chapter 4: You Know Martial Arts?

"Is there really no way?"

Listening to everything Chen Feng said, Shen Yu could not help but frown. It was like this generation after generation, a repeating cycle, as if it were a strange loop that could never be broken.

Just hearing about it made one feel a sense of despair, let alone having to face it.

"A way?" Shaking his head, Chen Feng said with some helplessness, "How could the experts of past generations just sit and wait for death? They all rose up to resist!"

"Countless Heavenly Prides of the past came up with all sorts of methods, using their weak bodies to defeat one impossible-to-defeat existence after another, writing one legendary story after another."

"Many of the experts currently sealed in various places were left behind from old eras; this is the result of their efforts. Every single one of them is a story of blood and tears!"

"But there are too many of those top experts who survived—no, it should be said there are more with each passing generation. Even with the most exceptional talent, how can one overcome the strong with the weak every single time?"

"Moreover, those top experts who managed to survive were themselves the Heavenly Prides of their respective eras; their talent, temperament, and even luck were not the slightest bit inferior!"

Gently shaking his head, Chen Feng continued with some helplessness, "Therefore, the result of the resistance in every generation has been countless losses!"

"Of the tens of millions of Martial Artists in the world, only a handful survive in the end. As for the billions of common people who multiply over every thousand years, less than one in a hundred will remain."

"These survivors continue to multiply, waiting to be harvested again after a thousand years, day after day, year after year, as if there is no end!"

"However, this time we have a chance, because our generation has produced one person, a person capable of changing all of this!"

"Produced one person?" Seeming to have thought of something suddenly, Shen Yu blurted out, "Are you talking about Mu Zishan?"

"Not bad, it is indeed Mu Zishan! Mu Zishan of the white clothes and cold robe!" At the mention of this name, it was as if there was light in Chen Feng's eyes.

"Does Lord Shen know why the top experts, regardless of whether they are righteous or evil, all feel heartfelt respect whenever Mu Zishan is mentioned?"

"Because the arrival of the Spirit Qi tide should have happened a hundred years ago. At that time, the strongest in the pugilistic world were only Grandmasters; people hadn't even entered the Transcendence Realm, let alone the True Soul Realm."

"But Mu Zishan, relying on his own transcendent talent, forcibly walked a path that was impossible to walk!"

"When everyone felt there was no way forward, he stepped into the Transcendence Realm, and even the True Soul Realm, one step at a time; his cultivation realm has long been unfathomable!"

"The experts of the world all avoid the white robe, and looking around, he has no rivals—these are not just empty words. Can Lord Shen imagine what kind of glory that is!"

Turning the impossible into the possible, no wonder everyone calls Mu Zishan a legend. Looking at this person's experiences, even if he had a protagonist's halo, it would probably only be like this.

No wonder he can be admired by so many people; his growth process is something that even 'cheating' might not be able to compare to!

"But what truly makes Mu Zishan respected is actually what happened after the Spirit Qi Surge. At that time, the World's upper limit began to rise, and only then did everyone have the opportunity to continue breaking through."

"And it was at this time, as the Spirit Qi increased further and those sealed experts were about to awaken, that Mu Zishan chose to step into the Forbidden Land alone."

"Sigh!" With another heavy sigh, every time this name was mentioned, Chen Feng's tone was filled with indescribable respect.

No one knows how much courage it took for Mu Zishan to make such a decision back then, and even less does anyone know how great a price had to be paid for all of this.

Yet even so, Mu Zishan did it. He guarded the Forbidden Land until now, forcibly dragging out the Spirit Qi tide for a hundred years.

"It is precisely because Mu Zishan guarded the Forbidden Land that the Spirit Qi Surge was forcibly intercepted. Without denser Spirit Qi, those experts about to awaken fell back into silence!"

"And because of the previous Spirit Qi Surge, the World's upper limit was raised significantly, which is why there are gradually Transcendence Realm experts now, and even True Soul Realm experts!"

Shaking his head, Chen Feng sometimes really feels it wasn't worth it for Mu Zishan. He did this to fight for a glimmer of survival for the people of the world today.

But what have these people done now? At the beginning, they were nervous for a few decades, and everyone struggled hard for that glimmer of survival, but afterwards, they fell back into fighting for power and profit.

This bunch of bastards doesn't want to think at all about the price Mu Zishan paid for this; his passion might even be poured down the drain!

"That's not right!" At this moment, Shen Yu suddenly grasped the main point and couldn't help but ask, "You just said that True Soul Realm experts are like ants in front of such existences!"

"Given the overall level of the pugilistic world right now, I'm afraid it's far from enough, right?"

"Of course it's not enough, but Lord Shen might not know that the Spirit Qi tide is often accompanied by opportunities. At that time, the power of the Dao seems to be right before one's eyes, almost within reach!"

"Those with exceptional talent will have countless insights flooding into their minds, and they can even use this to forcibly raise their cultivation by several realms. This is our chance, a chance to go further!"

Speaking of this, a look of envy appeared in Chen Feng's eyes. Although they were trying their best to prevent the arrival of the Spirit Qi tide, their instincts made them unable to help but be eager.

As a Martial Artist, who doesn't want to go further? Who doesn't want to ascend to the peak to overlook the world and feel the sensation of 'viewing all the mountains at a glance'!"

Moreover, it is not just the cultivation realm that breaks through, but also vitality. As long as the cultivation realm keeps breaking through, a person's lifespan will greatly increase.

Several hundred or even a thousand years, or even several thousand years are possible; how is this different from immortality!

On this point alone, too many people would flock to it. Even if less than one in ten thousand Martial Artists survive in the end, I'm afraid there will still be people with ideas.

Who can be sure that the one who survives in the end won't be themselves!

Everyone has greed; even he is not without desires.

However, for Mu Zishan, he still feels heartfelt reverence; this is his idol and his spiritual sustenance. His whole life, he has used this person as a benchmark!

After a moment of silence, Chen Feng slowly said, "Mu Zishan's action was not only to delay the time of the Spirit Qi eruption, but also to give the experts of the world enough time to solidify their foundations, so they wouldn't be without the power to resist when facing the Great Contention Era!"

"Now he has dragged it out for over a hundred years by his own strength, and the entire pugilistic world has also greatly increased in strength over these hundred years, and everyone's chances of survival have also greatly increased!"

"It can be said that Mu Zishan, by his own strength, saved an unknown number of people. But he himself, at this very moment, is probably unable to hold on."

Saying this in a despondent manner, Chen Feng's face seemed to hold an indescribable feeling, "With Mu Zishan's talent, even in this Great Contention Era with countless experts, he would have become one of the strongest!"

"But for the sake of more people living, he chose the hardest path. Now the Spirit Qi is fluctuating again, the seals in various places are already unstable, and I don't know what the situation is like for Hero Mu right now."

"I'm afraid that place can't hold on much longer!"
