Who do you think you are, knowing everything?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of family could produce someone like you? Are you a prince or an heir?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this era where most are illiterate, people gain knowledge only through prenatal teaching or oral transmission; mastering even one practical skill is already rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Can’s high school education here could even be called prophetic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘This is just basic competence for an ordinary senior preparing for the Gaokao,’ Fang Can explained to himself inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with Fang Can’s resume crushing his contemporaries, Li Fengtian couldn’t tell if the boy was lying, but a respect for scholars rose within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, testing him lightly, Li Fengtian asked only one simple question: “Alright, can you write your own name?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Can: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That brief sentence shattered him as thoroughly as calling Sun Wukong ‘Monkey Warden.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d just arrived in this world with no chance to learn—let alone write, he couldn’t even read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only because their speech resembled his past world’s dialects had he avoided becoming mute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the unfamiliar square characters printed on Li Fengtian’s clothes, Fang Can never imagined he, a high school student, would one day become illiterate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One glance confirmed: pure, unadulterated illiterate!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If tested on practical skills—even gunpowder formulation or methamphetamine extraction—he might still attempt it with his shallow high school knowledge, but his own name…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stammering, Fang Can admitted with deep shame: “No, I can’t.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Heh~ I knew you were bluffing,’ Li Fengtian sneered, his respect for scholars vanishing instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sense of superiority rose in him—he at least could write his own name—and this conveniently dismissed Fang Can’s arrogance as mere boasting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for Fang Can to defend himself, he turned and walked away, leaving the stunned boy behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Can, holding back a flood of words, could only trudge after him, realizing his top priority now was learning to read this world’s script.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, even holding a martial arts manual was useless to an illiterate—unless you were Shi Potian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they walked, he focused his attention on the transparent panel he’d had no time to examine earlier, preparing to study it thoroughly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Name: Fang Can\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Body: 1.2\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirit: 1.2\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi: 1.0\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talent Term 1 [From Despair to Fortune]: The worse your environment, the higher your hidden stats—turning misfortune into luck, calamity into blessing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talent Term 2 [Unyielding Resolve]: The lower your health, the faster you heal—only by nearing death can you awaken to the truth of life!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Description: None\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his vision, a pale panel, seemingly formed from e-cigarette vapor, displayed data like a game character’s stats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Can guessed this must be his three-dimensional attributes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talent Term 1 was his innate supernatural ability—but when had Term 2 appeared?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suppressing his curiosity, Fang Can diverted his attention to Li Fengtian’s explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Fang Can was a complete novice ignorant of martial sect divisions, Li Fengtian took the opportunity to explain some basic knowledge on their way back to the sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the main content was bragging about how incredibly powerful the Tiger Demon Sect was—no other force within a hundred li of Yanggu County could rival it, absolute authority, and Fang Can had hit the jackpot by joining, a true blessing, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they walked, Li Fengtian in his fine embroidered robes and Fang Can with his short hair naturally drew attention from passersby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when they saw the blood-red tiger motif on Li Fengtian’s chest, everyone instinctively shrank aside, avoiding confrontation—indirectly revealing to Fang Can that the Tiger Demon Sect’s reputation was far from noble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Have I joined a demonic sect?’ Fang Can thought instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the two stopped before a gate adorned with a lion statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Fang Can’s gaze, the stone steps were wide, with six sect members in black robes with red patterns standing on either side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the gate hung a massive plaque, inscribed with bold, powerful characters bearing the sect’s name: [***].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘What a wonderful “Heaven Rewards Diligence!”’ Fang Can inwardly praised the three unreadable square characters on the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Li Fengtian approach, the gate guards bowed respectfully: “Welcome, Master Li.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fengtian nodded slightly, pointing behind him: “This is my new disciple. Arrange his paperwork, and take him to the Training Hall tomorrow to begin martial practice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As you command, Master,” one guard replied with a bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fengtian turned to Fang Can: “Follow him. Train for a month first—we’ll see what your talent’s worth before assigning you a role.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait a moment, Master,” Fang Can said urgently as the guard stepped forward to take charge and Li Fengtian prepared to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boy, what now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You… does the Tiger Demon Sect have a library?” Fang Can couldn’t help asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fengtian laughed: “Don’t tell me you, who can’t read a single character, want to study?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then he saw the boy nodding earnestly, and his lips involuntarily twitched:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boy, I’ll warn you—reading too much harms martial cultivation. As our sect master says, it’s called ‘perception barrier.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still, if you want to read, just ask him,” Li Fengtian said, pointing to the nearby guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Li Fengtian’s figure vanish into the distance, Fang Can inwardly grumbled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘It’s “cognitive barrier,” you illiterate.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1066,"2026-06-20T07:05:46.054Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","0533e0ad6aff0bca632550dc58b8229aa96b75e160ec11a77093865fa7fbdbab","this-high-martial-world-is-too-crazy-chapter-5","this-high-martial-world-is-too-crazy-chapter-3",368,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-high-martial-world-is-too-crazy-cover.jpg"]
