Chapter 237: Chapter 186: Martial Arts Realm, Headmaster

Xu Yang!_2

Xu Yang recalled what Wang Hou had said before and couldn’t help but feel intrigued. He promptly opened the trending news.

What first caught his eye was a red-topped official announcement.

In bold red letters, it read “Da Xia Martial Arts Sports Administration Centre,” followed by “National Sports Administration Martial Arts Centre, Da Xia Martial Arts Association on the issuance of,.”

The main text read-

All relevant units and citizens of Da Xia:

In order to promote the widespread popularization and promotion of Da Xia martial arts, in accordance with the overall requirements of the National Sports Administration and the Supernatural Affairs Bureau…

Xu Yang looked closely.

These were all official statements.

Below, there was a “Martial Arts Rank Division” table.

The table provided a detailed division of martial arts ranks, such as the “Body

Refining Four Realms.”

The first realm was “Flesh Refining,” which in the table was also called “Martial Novice,” the second realm was “Skin Training,” also referred to as “Martial Disciple,” the third realm was “Tendon Training,” designated as “Martial Warrior,” and the fourth realm, “Bone Training,” was known as “Martial

Master!”

At the Martial Novice realm, practitioners would temper their bodies, honing their blood and qi, making their bodies strong and their muscles firm and full, with swift reactions!

Upon reaching the “Martial Disciple” level of the second realm, they would possess a certain combat capability, with strong skin and significantly enhanced resistance to attacks!

Once the Body Refining Four Realms were completed, it marked the “Limit of Acquired,” and a step further would be the Innate Grandmaster!

Above the Innate Grandmaster was the “Heavenly Being Realm”, and above the Heavenly Being Realm was the “Celestial Phenomenon Realm.”

These three major realms were only announced by name, with no detailed introductions.

With the announcement of these “Martial Arts Realms,” a massive wave was immediately stirred up online, with countless threads springing up like bamboo shoots after rain!

“So it turns out that what’s written in the novels is real! Is this the revival of spiritual energy? I’m 28 years old, can I still catch up with cultivation?”

“I don’t accept this. Why were the martial arts realms announced and not the Buddhist and Daoist realms? I am a Buddhist, I want to cultivate Buddhist powers!”

“Brothers, is this thing true or fake? Why are only martial arts ranks announced and not martial arts techniques? Can I start cultivating my family’s inherited Bull Demon Mighty Fist and Tiger Demon Bone Training Method?”

Some live streamers even rode the wave by starting martial arts training live streams, attracting a large number of fans!

Soon after.

Another news piece appeared on the trending list.

“Master Chen of Wudang Sect live streams the popularization of Daoist skills and martial arts knowledge, leaping 60 feet into the air onto a high building…”

Xu Yang knew of Master Chen of Wudang.

He often posted short videos and sometimes even went live, sharing some interesting stories about cultivation.

Of course.

Before this, his videos were more subtle and did not display any

“extraordinary” powers.

There were many doubts at that time.

Some said that Master Chen was just a facade with no real combat ability.

Others welcomed challenges to his martial arts…

There was also another interesting story.

A certain boxing blogger went to challenge the Wudang Sect in order to ride the wave of popularity. As a result, Master Chen’s senior brother was sleeping at the time and, with a bad temper upon waking up, accidentally injured the boxing blogger and compensated him with 8000 dollars.

However, today, as the Da Xia officials announced the martial arts realms, Master Chen’s short video style changed dramatically.

In the videos, he held a long sword and slashed a large area of bamboo from a distance.

With a single leap, he jumped onto a building over 60 feet tall and, with his hands behind his back, gently descended from the roof.

These videos immediately set off a huge wave.

“It really has been announced…”

Xu Yang was not too surprised.

With the recent surge of bizarre incidents, continuing to hide the truth would not be of any benefit. On the contrary, as Wang Hou said, revealing the truth to the public and taking the opportunity to popularize martial arts nationwide might help to discover some geniuses. With proper training, they might even produce some powerful warriors!

As it was his honeymoon, he didn’t pay too much attention to the matter.

For three consecutive days, Xu Yang stayed at home, sleeping during the day and staying up all night…

On July 30th, he received a call from Feng Zhaoqing.

Feng Zhaoqing said on the phone that he had important matters to discuss with Xu Yang. Xu Yang thought for a moment and said, “Come to my shop, and we’ll talk there.”

Arriving at the funeral shop.

He opened the door, and within a few moments, Feng Zhaoqing arrived.

After exchanging pleasantries, Feng Zhaoqing got straight to the point: “The nation has already announced martial arts realms and Daoist cultivation divisions. I believe Master Xu should already know about this.”

Xu Yang nodded.

Feng Zhaoqing then said, “These past few days, Minister Wang has been traveling the martial world, visiting various martial clans, martial arts sects, Daoist and Buddhist temples, borrowing numerous martial arts and Daoist scriptures.”

Xu Yang’s mouth twitched…

Borrowing?

Those clans and sects prized their secret scriptures more than life itself, with some even practicing a “pass only to males, not to females” policy for fear of leaking information.

Xu Yang guessed that Feng Zhaoqing’s so-called “borrowing” probably concealed a more significant truth.

However, he didn’t comment, but merely listened quietly.

“In fact, the country has been planning for over a decade. Programs like the ecological migration policy actually aimed to relocate people from the deep mountains to achieve population concentration… in order to be able to provide aid in time if they were attacked by malicious beings such as Yin spirits and malevolent beings,” said Feng Zhaoqing.

“For example, the creation of the Dao schools.”

“More than a decade ago, the country secretly worked with Dragon Tiger Mountain, Wudang Sect, Quanzhen Sect, and the Maoshan Sect to jointly establish four major Dao schools. However, most of the outstanding students trained in these schools would choose to enter the major Daoist sects for further cultivation, with only a few joining the Spirits Management Bureau..”
