Zixia Junzijian: "I'm not that old either, newbie. Right now in the chat group, we have bigshots from Xianxia worlds, Zombies worlds, Guoshu worlds, Yaomo worlds, and Wuxia worlds!"
Chen Beixuan: "The number-one bigshot in the group right now is Great God Jiang Li. Remember that!"
Wudang Hundred-Year Old Daoist: "This isn't just a place to chat. You can trade cultivation insights, exchange resources, and even exchange cultivation techniques!"
A Xing: "??? You guys aren't messing with me? You're really people from all kinds of worlds?"
On the streets of Old Magic City, A Xing's eyeballs were about to pop out.
These people were saying they were all from different worlds.
He didn't really believe them, but this floating frame only he could see—well, that already explained a lot.
"Xing-ge, why are you making all those weird expressions?"
Next to him, Fatty Chong looked at him like he'd gone insane.
In just a short moment, A Xing had already cycled through a dozen different facial expressions.
And earlier, he even asked Fatty Chong, like a crazy person, whether he could see the floating frame in front of him.
"Get lost!"
A Xing shoved Fatty Chong away, eyes glued firmly to the frame only he could see.
Yan Shisan: "Why would we bother lying to a noob like you?"
Xiao Li Feidao: "You think we'd go through all the trouble of creating something this magical just to scam you? What qualifications do you have for us to bother?"
Chen Beixuan: "If we wanted to trick you, it'd be simple. Since you're from a Wuxia world, you must have martial arts. Just exchange for a martial arts technique from the chat group and try cultivating it—whether we lied or not will be obvious."
A Xing's eyes lit up.
A Xing: "There's really martial arts?"
He wanted to believe in martial arts, but decades of experience told him martial arts were all scams.
Shi Potian: "???"
Wudang Hundred-Year Old Daoist: "..."
Zixia Junzijian: "We're doomed, the newbie is a normal mortal!"
Chen Beixuan: "A mortal is fine. As long as you have money, the chat group can still make you soar."
Wang Chao: "Worst case, I'll lend him a Guoshu manual. Let him pay me back after he takes off. We're all group members—we should help each other!"
Xiao Li Feidao: "Good idea. Once the newbie gets strong, he can gather cultivation techniques from his world for us."
A Xing: "I do know martial arts! I know the Rulai Shenzhang!"
Rulai Shenzhang?
A Xing?
Jiang Li's eyes widened.
He finally knew who the newbie was—the one-in-ten-thousand martial arts prodigy from the Kung Fu world… A Xing.
This guy was comedic, yes, but also truly unique.
Even after the Fire Cloud Evil God smashed his head into the ground, he didn't die—and instead blasted open his Ren and Du meridians and ascended like a rocket.
His physique was bizarre. The worse his injuries, the greater his potential exploded.
Zixia Junzijian: "Rulai Shenzhang?"
Yan Shisan: "Holy crap, he's serious with that name?"
Wudang Hundred-Year Old Daoist: "Don't act so shocked. From the way the newbie speaks, it's probably just some martial art with a flashy name."
A Xing: "Right! The Rulai Shenzhang was sold to me when I was a kid by some old grandpa who said it was to save the world!"
A Xing: "I practiced it for years but couldn't even hit anyone!"
Yan Shisan: "So after all that, you really are a normal mortal!"
Chen Beixuan: "Looks like you got scammed."
Wang Chao: "If you really got the Rulai Shenzhang, you would've taken off long ago."
Wudang Hundred-Year Old Daoist @A Xing: "How much did you spend?"
A Xing: "My whole year's lucky-money!"
Shi Potian: "Too evil! Scamming a child's lucky-money!"
Zixia Junzijian: "This kid is pitiful—lost his lucky-money and even practiced for years like a fool!"
Tiandi Wuji Qiankun Jie Fa: "No wonder the newbie didn't believe martial arts existed when he entered."
Sun Wukong: "Rulai Shenzhang? One day, I, Old Sun, will smash that old Rulai's dog head!"
Devouring Lord @A Xing: "Your Rulai Shenzhang is real. But martial arts have two parts—the internal cultivation method, and the external combat technique."
Devouring Lord: "Your Rulai Shenzhang is the technique. It's not the kind that cultivates internal qi."
Devouring Lord: "Even if you practice it for hundreds of years, it's useless—because you lack the internal cultivation method that powers it."
Hmm?
A Xing's eyes shimmered.
A Xing @Devouring Lord: "Great God Jiang Li, then how do I obtain an internal qi cultivation method?"
Excitement surged through him.
If these people really were from different worlds, then A Xing was about to rise to the top.
Once he mastered martial arts, he'd go take out the Axe Gang's boss first thing—he'd become a legend for sure.
Devouring Lord: "First, go to the Points Mall and sell your Rulai Shenzhang. That'll give you points so you can buy martial arts manuals from the group bigshots."
A Xing: "Okay, I'll look for the Points Mall."
He stopped looking at the chat and began searching through the floating frame.
Meanwhile, inside the group—
Ah?
Yan Shisan @Devouring Lord: "Great God Jiang Li, there really is such a technique as the Rulai Shenzhang?"
Sun Wukong: "Did that old Rulai geezer personally create it?"
Devouring Lord: "It exists, but it wasn't created by Rulai. With Rulai's status, how could he create something so low-tier?"
Devouring Lord: "People invented martial arts and gave them scary names to make them sound powerful. That's why it was named Rulai."
Devouring Lord: "But anything daring to use such a name tends to have a few real tricks."
Devouring Lord: "When the newbie uploads it, you can exchange for it and see."
[Group member A Xing has uploaded "Rulai Shenzhang." Please check it promptly!]
Jiang Li had just finished speaking when A Xing uploaded the technique.
Jiang Li immediately opened it.
[Rulai Shenzhang: From A Xing. Half-step Martial Saint level. 400,000 points.]
Exactly as Jiang Li imagined.
In the original, A Xing shattered a four-to-five-story building with one palm. That power was terrifying.
Such power clearly surpassed normal Grandmaster-level martial arts.
Yan Shisan: "WTF—this is the martial art you bought with a year's lucky-money?!"
Xiao Li Feidao: "Damn! That wasn't a scammer—you met a peerless master!"
Zixia Junzijian: "The clowns are us. A 400,000-point technique—terrifying!"
A Xing: "So this is the Rulai Shenzhang I bought back then. Is 400,000 points good or bad?"
Even though he sold it for 400,000 points, he still didn't understand the value.
He didn't know what level the Rulai Shenzhang actually belonged to.
After getting the points, he rushed back to ask:
Wudang Hundred-Year Old Daoist: "Good or bad? Let me put it this way—among the martial artists in the group who uploaded their techniques, the number of martial arts worth more than the Rulai Shenzhang can be counted on one hand."
Tiandi Wuji Qiankun Jie Fa: "A priceless treasure covered in dust!"
Chen Beixuan: "How did a technique this amazing end up in the hands of someone like you?"
A Xing: "Then can I buy an internal cultivation method now? Bigshots, which technique should I buy?"
A Xing was grinning so widely it almost reached his ears.
The martial art he thought was a scam… was real.
He only failed because he had no internal qi to activate it.
And from the way the group members spoke, the Rulai Shenzhang was apparently extremely powerful.
Zixia Junzijian: "Why bother buying low-tier martial arts? You're already in the chat group—cultivate xiuzhen, gain immortality! Isn't that better?"
Wang Chao: "Right. Xiuzhen techniques can crush martial arts countless times over."
Zixia Junzijian: "Who still practices martial arts in this group? Don't lower our standards!"
A Xing: "Holy—there are techniques that grant immortality here?!"
A Xing's eyes blazed.
He didn't know what xiuzhen was, but the moment he heard "immortality," he knew it had to be incredible.
Insane!
Xing-ge has gone insane!
Fatty Chong watched A Xing making crazy expressions again and grew increasingly worried.
