Chapter 4774

Edogawa Conan: "At the very least, Liu Mei is far too doting on Xia Xue and Xia Yu.

And far too harsh on Liu Xing! Though part of that is also because...... Liu Xing's grades are too poor, and he just doesn't live up to expectations."

Liu Xing: "!!!!"

Liu Xing's mouth twitched.

Seeing the beginning, he thought Conan was going to speak up for him, and he was deeply moved...... then he was pierced to the heart by Conan's last line...... Fallen Angel Twelve-Wing Black Cat: "By the way, Mr. Liu Xing and Young Lady Xia Xue, what are you two planning for the future?"

Xia Xue: "...... well..., if possible—" Xia Xue pressed her lips together, a look of longing on her face.

Osakabeh Ryoka: "Erlang Shen Yang Jian.

It's time to step up!"

Ryuugu Rena: "..."

Liu Xing: "I'm different! I've decided to go cultivate martial arts."

Liu Xing said it as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Xia Xue: "..."

Xia Xue froze for a moment, a strange look crossing her face.

Xia Xue: "But, cultivation is way stronger than martial arts cultivation."

Liu Xing: "You must have finished watching Home with Kids, then got a rough idea of the Society's situation, and just made your decision right then...... You never actually dug into the Society's situation at all!"

Liu Xing pouted.

Xia Xue: "...... what do you mean?"

Liu Xing: "I specifically went and found a few Society members privately to ask, and after discussing with them! I reached a conclusion...... and that is, within the Society, there's actually no fixed answer for who is strongest in the cultivation system."

Liu Xing: "Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing, Erlang Shen Yang Jian, and even the Wine Sword Immortal...... these are all top-tier powerhouses of the cultivation system."

Liu Xing: "But comparatively, the strongest of the martial arts system! is very clear...... and that is, Old Master Zhang Sanfeng! Mm, that's... the founding patriarch of Wudang Mountain."

Xia Xue: "!!!"

Liu Xing: "...... What's more, the martial arts within the Society is completely different from the martial arts of the ordinary world! Zhang Sanfeng could beat Yang Jian and Li Jing without breaking a sweat."

Elenesdi: "......"

Doctor Roman: "......"

Minami Kotori: "What expression should I be making right now?

"

Tushan Honghong: "Mr. Liu Xing, you saying it like this...... isn't really appropriate."

Tushan Honghong rubbed her brow with a bit of a headache; although everything Liu Xing said was correct, being so blunt about it was rather disrespectful to Yang Jian and Li Jing.

Erlang Shen Yang Jian: "...... It's nothing! Within the Society, one's competitive pride should naturally be kept a little lower."

Erlang Shen Yang Jian: "Setting everything else aside, even if you truly climbed to the peak! and broke into the First Tier...... there are still plenty at your level, let alone the President hanging high above the heavens."

Li Jing: "That's true...... If your competitive heart is too strong, other than........ not being able to sleep at night! it serves no purpose...... it might even cause your cultivation base to progress more slowly due to an unbalanced mindset."

Daoist True Person Zhang Sanfeng: "......"

Daoist True Person Zhang Sanfeng: "Um... actually, this old man is also well-versed in the arts of cultivation."

Zhang Sanfeng stroked his beard, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Liu Xing: "...... Ha."

Liu Xing: "That's not right! I chatted with Aikawa Ayumu before, didn't you say you're from the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber world? I even took a couple of peeks at the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber world, and it has nothing to do with cultivation at all!"

Liu Xing's gaze went blank.

Aikawa Ayumu: "...... I'm not wrong! But Mr. Zhang Sanfeng was among the earliest to join the Society, and no one knows how many... Society missions he's taken part in, or how many rewards he's drawn."

Aikawa Ayumu: "On him now...... there's the inheritance of the Heavenly Court Heavenly Emperor, inheritances from other worlds that follow the path of cultivation... he has them all."

Aikawa Ayumu: "You saying he's the strongest in martial arts within the Society, that's indeed not much of an issue...... but his attainments on the path of cultivation are also among the very best in the Society! Though I won't say first place, no matter how you rank it, he can squeeze into the top five."

Chu Zihang: "Yes...... and that top five is probably counting in cheats like the President."

Horikita Suzune: "Wait..., the President cultivates immortality?"

Horikita Suzune's expression changed drastically.

Magical Girl Nanoha: "!!!!"

I Am the Hou Jue: "Heh heh...... for a being at the President's realm, master one method, and all methods are mastered!"

I Am the Hou Jue: "Let alone immortality cultivation, magic, battle qi, martial arts, divine arts...... he's proficient in all of them."

I Am the Hou Jue: "Or to put it another way...... even if it's a power system he hasn't encountered before, as long as he wants to practice it, then, he can cultivate that power system to its extreme in an extremely short time......"

The old Hou Jue showed an expression of neither agreement nor disagreement.

He thought for a moment, then offered an analogy.

I Am the Hou Jue: "Perhaps in just a few breaths, the President could push an unfamiliar power system to the First Tier of the Society, and then, at a speed beyond imagination, surpass the First Tier......"

Tony Is Not the Richest Man: "Indeed...... after all, the position the President stands at is far, far too high!"

Tony Stark's expression was solemn; he very rarely agreed with the old Hou Jue's words.
