Chapter 409: Miserable Expert

When Yang Sen saw Ren Baqian, he got up and said, “The two of you are just in time. I’m heading out now, so why not follow me to take a look?”

“Does it have anything to do with us?” Ren Baqian inquired.

“A little. We’ll talk more later,” Yang Sen answered.

A total of three cars drove out from the carpark of the building where the Messier 87 office was located.

Yang Sen then explained, “This issue does not have that much to do with the both of you. It’s actually about the martial arts manuals that the both of you brought over.”

As Yang Sen gave an account of the issue, Ren Baqian realized something interesting.

A Man Wheel expert had appeared on Earth, someone who had truly attained the Man Wheel level. Furthermore, he was someone outside of the organization and had trained hard entirely on his own.

It was necessary to understand that Earth didn’t have a systematic cultivation practice like the other world.

Although there were also people who practiced Daoism, worshipped Buddha or practiced martial arts, they didn’t only follow one path. Due to the limitations of the environment, it was difficult to achieve too high.

After Ren Baqian provided the martial arts manual, only one batch of experts broke through the Man Wheel level within a short span of time.

This person, however, had read extensively, summed up the experiences of his predecessors, and cultivated for many years. As such, he was able to create a set of martial arts skills that was at the Man Wheel level. This was something that not many people could achieve.

Just from this point, this person was considered extremely remarkable.

The problem didn’t lie here, but on another point.

This man had been cultivating for many years and made a breakthrough in one go. He attained the Man Wheel level and was full of mettle, believing that he was number one in the world. He assumed that no one would be able to surpass his level. On the basis of his predecessors, he advanced the cultivation methods to an entirely new level.

After ten years of hard work, he became invincible. He couldn’t continue to stay in the mountains, right?

The situation where one is rich yet he or she doesn’t want to go back to his or her hometown, was akin to one wearing nice clothes and walking around at night.

This person held it in for a few decades, so he naturally wouldn’t behave this way. On the contrary, he was prepared to become famous.

He wanted to send out a heroic invitation to all the people in the “martial arts” circle and set up the stage to challenge all the outstanding heroes on Earth.

If one were to discuss the advancement of cultivation methods made by him, it was rather admirable. What a pity that he was overly domineering.

Hundreds of experts who had attained the Man Wheel level through the martial arts manuals provided by Ren Baqian were ready to give him a good beating.

A certain person cultivated hard in the mountains for several decades. When he came out, he believed that he was the best in the world. In the end, the world had changed so greatly that even children could match up to him.

This was the rough result.

It was very vivid and also very unfortunate.

If Ren Baqian didn’t provide the martial arts manuals, perhaps he would really be the most well-known person in the world and someone that everyone knew.

His name might even have been recorded down in history.

Such a pity…

Ren Baqian was between laughter and tears. This person was indeed pathetic.

However, the reason why Yang Sen brought him and the empress along wasn’t solely because of this pathetic expert.

Yang Sen wanted them to take a look at the people that the nation had cultivated.

After all, everything they had accumulated previously had been consumed after attaining the Man Wheel level. After that, their cultivation speed would definitely decrease.

For a very long time, he had wanted to receive pointers from Ren Baqian and the empress. However, the duo hadn’t been visiting the Messier 87 department. This time, he made use of the opportunity to drag the both of them along with him.

In particular, the empress’s strength was far beyond the limits of a human being since she came from the other world. If she could give some pointers, they would definitely cut down on the number of detours.

After figuring out Yang Sen’s thoughts, Ren Baqian turned to look at the empress and saw that she was daydreaming. He wondered what was going on in her mind.

Ren Baqian reckoned that she was still thinking about the Qi Jiayu issue.

After driving for nearly two hours, they finally arrived at their destination, which was another villa.

In front of the villa, there was a humongous courtyard with an elevated stage in the middle. There were people of all ages in the villa. Some of them were holding onto cloth bags that contained weapons, and the type of weapon could be seen from the shapes of the bags. There were also people who wrapped their weapons so tightly that nobody could make out what the weapons were.

One of the middle-aged men wore a Tang suit and was standing at the top. He had short hair, looked mentally alert, and had a pair of bright eyes.

Yang Sen brought Ren Baqian and the empress along with him. Immediately, someone guided them to their seats.

“Chief Yang,” the people nearby whispered. After all, Yang Sen was an influential person and shouldn’t be treated with great fanfare in such a place.

After waiting for a long time, a group of people came out of the villa. One of them was tall and had a squarish face. He gave a faint smile and was the most attractive person in the crowd.

Everyone sat down before someone came to the stage and said, “Today, many of us with a common interest have gathered together presumably for the recent news. After mastering different martial arts from different sects, Senior Bai has finally made an advancement in the predecessors’ path…”

Ren Baqain started to feel bored after hearing the introduction.

To put it bluntly, the speech was bragging about his own achievements and would then open up the stage to challenge the other outstanding heroes.

All of a sudden, someone within the crowd asked, “Will Senior Bai go public with the type of martial arts he has mastered?”

Immediately, a group of people followed suit with the same question.

After all, this group of people didn’t come to fight, but came to find out the method that could break through one’s limitations.

The person on the stage smiled a little and then said, “If anyone got ahold of such a skill, they naturally wouldn’t announce it. As the founder, however, Senior Bai has a broad mind and is willing to announce his painstaking efforts after all these years. Together with everyone, he will compile the ‘Art of War’…”

After that, there was a lot of noise as many people asked what this meant.

It turned out that Senior Bai didn’t only invite these outstanding heroes, but had also invited them to compile this “Art of War” together in order to incorporate the exercises of the various sects into this “Art of War.”

After his speech, everyone began to hesitate.

“As the number one expert on Earth, Senior Bai is even willing to announce his secret skills and compile them into the “Art of War.” Can it be that everyone here still wants to retain their sect secrets?” the person on stage continued with another question.

“Number one on Earth? Who acknowledged that?” someone shouted immediately.

Ren Baqian immediately perked up after hearing the conversation. The atmosphere was finally getting lively. The purpose of him coming wasn’t to witness their meeting.

That so-called Senior Bai didn’t get angry. He got up from his seat and cracked all of his joints from head to toe. Thereafter, he appeared on the stage in just one movement.

His movement was elegant and actually garnered a lot of applause.

“We’ll talk about the ‘Art of War’ later on. This time, I have invited everyone because I wanted to check out the standards of the experts on Earth. Does anyone want to come up for an experience?” The middle-aged man spoke in a crisp voice and was scheming in his heart. No matter what he said, there would definitely be someone who objected to his idea. He would showcase his skills on stage first so that things would go smoothly later on.

After all, he had confidence in his own skills.

It wasn’t that he belittled all the other outstanding heroes, but apart from him, everyone else was a mediocre person in his eyes.

“Let me have a go.” Someone immediately jumped onto the stage.

“My name is Yang Huai, and I’m a nobody. I would like to have a taste of the number one expert’s skills.” He was a man in his early thirties who had an extremely ferocious vibe.

“Pfft! Cough, cough!” Yang Sen, who was drinking tea below the stage, saw the person who jumped onto the stage and immediately choked. He turned to the side and said softly, “In any case, you should let Senior Bai win two matches first. How could you send Yang Huai up? You are basically slapping him on the face.”

“Previously, this Bai Yuhe was extremely arrogant. Yang Huai already tried to hold it in, but decided to humiliate him,” the person next to him whispered.

Seeing Yang Sen’s reaction, Ren Baqian immediately knew that this was one of the experts they were cultivating.

At this moment, he felt very excited. After all, he was also at the Man Wheel level and wanted to see how strong the other Man Wheel experts were, particularly because they were on Earth.

He had read martial arts novels from a young age and grew up with martial arts movies. Xingyiquan, Liuhequan, Taijiquan, Baguazhang, etc. were all martial arts that he had heard of since childhood. Ever since then, he had always been curious about these martial arts.

Now that he was a Man Wheel expert, he wanted to compare their martial arts with the [Boxing of Death] that he had mastered.
