Capítulo 1123: Chapter 171: Martial Arts School Accepts Disciples

The preciousness of the Sun Flower goes without saying; like the Touching Spirit Flower, it is a spiritual medicine used by Star Alliance members to rapidly enhance their strength.

Even Ni Yang, who usually sets his sights high, couldn’t help but praise it.

He said it’s the introductory spirit grass for cultivators, and even before the great changes of the world, it was a rare treasure.

Therefore, with the assistance of the Sun Essence and after a month of cultivation, Xiang Zhenyuan has already gained some combat power.

At least, outside the realm of Transcendents, he can absolutely crush ordinary people.

With a physical condition already close to the human limit, plus the cultivation technique learned from the “Skywalking Nine Fingers,” Mr. Xiang easily clinched the championship in the WTF competition.

The “Skywalking Nine Fingers” originates from the top-tier secret book of the Divine Ancient Continent, “Falling Flower Brushing Acupoint Hand,” as the name implies, it is an acupoint-targeting martial art.

So, in the segment of the video seen by everyone, every time Xiang Zhenyuan confronted an opponent, he only needed to lightly touch their acupoints to secure victory.

This could be considered an innate advantage of this martial art when facing ordinary people.

In the forum, everyone was very interested in the background of this senior.

Someone, unable to resist their curiosity, used some energy to investigate the opponent’s identity and naturally traced it back to the Sky Martial Arts Academy.

This was also intentional by the Star Alliance, allowing the Xiang family not to conceal the martial arts academy’s information.

Of course, considering safety issues, there are also designated personnel nearby to protect them from those with ulterior motives.

“It turns out Mr. Xiang is not a cultivator; he is a martial arts master! Sky Martial Arts Academy is a place that teaches ancient Huaxia martial arts!”

There are never any secrets on the internet, and soon everyone knew Mr. Xiang’s background.

After discovering this truth, everyone felt somewhat surprised.

They never expected that the ancient martial arts in the legends were actually real.

Someone can truly achieve the feats found in wuxia novels, possessing inner strength, blood point, and many other techniques.

“Tch, look at all of you, acting like you’ve never seen the world; what’s so surprising about this? Even the legends of cultivators are real, so what’s the big deal about ancient martial arts appearing? Much ado about nothing!”

Someone sneered.

Everyone came to their senses.

Yes, if cultivation can be real, then why not ancient martial arts?

At the same time, countless people began to have ideas.

If there really are ancient martial arts in this world and they’ve even established a martial arts academy, that means they must be recruiting disciples and students!

If one doesn’t have the opportunity to cultivate, learning authentic ancient martial arts should be fine, right?

It wouldn’t make sense for the martial arts academy to open up and then not want them, right?

With this mindset, many people started heading to the small county where the Sky Martial Arts Academy is located.

All of a sudden, the hotels in the county experienced a business boom.

Fortunately, compared to the allure of cultivation, martial arts is much less attractive.

Although many came, it was far from the scale of the Jinyinhua City and Qionghua City incidents during the immortal mountain event.

After all, in the minds of many, martial arts is not something that can be learned overnight.

It’s usually something that must be practiced from a young age.

Training in the harshest cold of winter and the hottest days of summer.

It takes decades of perseverance to see some results.

With fast-paced life and high pressure, who has time to devote to this?

The main thing is that even if one masters martial arts, it’s not really useful.

Unlike cultivation, which can prolong life and leads to immortality.

Martial arts only strengthen the physique, and there are even rumors that it consumes the body’s life potential, leading to a shorter lifespan.

Plus, there’s the saying.

“No matter how high your martial arts skills are, a bullet can still bring you down.”

So, even fewer people are willing to practice martial arts.

At this time, those who rushed over were mostly from nearby cities.

Especially parents with children, wanting their kids to start practicing martial arts from a young age, thinking it increases the chances of success in the future.

“Everyone, everyone! Please go back now; my father is not seeing anyone today! If you want to seek a master, please come back tomorrow!”

At the gate of the Sky Martial Arts Academy, a middle-aged man, around fifty, was shouting vigorously.

However, the crowd gathered in front of him was too large, and everyone was chattering noisily, rendering his voice ineffective.

This middle-aged man was Xiang Zhenyuan’s son—Xiang Hongyu.

As Mr. Xiang’s only son and the heir of the Xiang family’s martial arts, Xiang Hongyu had no interest in martial arts.

As a member of the Xiang family, how could he not know the true worth of their martial arts?

Forced to learn the Skywalker Finger since childhood under his father’s pressure, he could be considered an experienced martial arts practitioner with over ten years of practice.

However, Xiang Hongyu always resented practicing martial arts. As a child, he had no choice but to be coerced by Mr. Xiang to learn.

Once he grew up and entered society, he despised what he had learned even more.

He believes that these martial arts can only be used for health benefits and have no practical combat ability.

The so-called martial arts academy his family runs barely has any students in a year, already in a deficit state.

Nowadays, few people are willing to let their children learn martial arts.
