CHAPTER 289: CHAPTER 167: ISN’T THIS JUST EASY AT A GLANCE? WHAT’S SO HARD ABOUT IT?

"Old Ye, come, come, I’ll put some hair wax on you."

"Clothes, clothes, change into something more stylish and ancient-looking, don’t let us ’First High School’s Twin Stars’ lose face!"

Huang Liwen, this military advisor, was now more nervous than Ye Qingzhou himself, repeatedly giving advice, even down to which shoes to wear and what attire to pair.

"In the future, you’ll need to dedicate a room and set it up as a streaming studio. Look at the wall behind you, it looks so unprofessional."

Seeing that Ye Qingzhou was about to go on camera for the first time, Huang Liwen was more excited than anyone else, bustling around.

"Alright, stop bustling around."

Ye Qingzhou waved his hand. His hair had just started to grow, looking a bit stubbly, and wearing ancient robes made him look a bit unconventional. Without a hairpiece, he seemed less handsome.

So he took off his Swordsman’s Armor, put on a tight white tank top that flaunted his robust physique without a doubt, and felt comfortable wearing it: "Let’s stream like this."

"Damn, why didn’t I think of that."

Seeing this, Huang Liwen gave a thumbs-up and praised, "With this physique, you look like a master!"

Practicing the Undying Golden Body, Ye Qingzhou’s physique seemed "delicate" but gave off a strong sense of power. Wearing too many clothes made him look like a pretty boy.

Now, with just a tank top, his exposed muscles instantly emphasized Ye Qingzhou’s dominance.

"Let’s start."

Ye Qingzhou looked calm, though he was excited inwardly, eagerly anticipating how much "Jiucai Ridge" he could reap tonight.

For him, more Power of Thought Ability was always better.

"Welcome to my livestream."

"I’ve been practicing martial arts since childhood, mainly focusing on swordsmanship. Friends interested in Martial Dao are welcome to spar and exchange ideas."

"Click follow if you’re just joining."

Ye Qingzhou greeted them as Huang Liwen had taught. After over half an hour, the livestream had just about 250 viewers.

Ye Qingzhou realized he underestimated this streaming thing; he thought with over 5,000 fans and over 100,000 likes, there should’ve been at least a thousand or more viewers, but after waiting so long, the number didn’t even break 300.

Indeed, the Power of Thought Ability’s "Jiucai Ridge" wasn’t so easy to reap!

"Where is the host from?"

"How old are you, host?"

"Is this your house? Living in such a big villa, martial artists sure have money!"

"Does the host need a girlfriend? I’m eighteen, beautiful as a flower..."

"Add me for benefits."

Seeing a string of mysterious codes, Ye Qingzhou quickly had the admin block the account selling shady content and then started answering fans’ questions.

"I’m from Linjiang, seventeen years old, streaming from home."

"Just chatting? Is the host going to perform any talents?"

"Gonna find another mountain to shatter?"

"Linjiang’s tallest mountain is said to be Jiucai Ridge, exactly 2,000 meters in elevation. If the host can blast it below 2,000 meters, I’ll gift you a big rocket!"

Ye Qingzhou felt speechless. The mountains he shattered were unknown small ones; if he really blasted Linjiang City’s highest peak, the Martial Arts Association would surely be furious.

Seeing the viewer count not increasing much, Ye Qingzhou thought for a moment. Huang Liwen had told him to do what he’s most confident in during streams.

Ye Qingzhou fully agreed, then stood up and said, "Alright, how about we take on the challenge of learning a swordsmanship technique in one minute?"

"!!!"

Instantly, the entire livestream fell silent, followed by hundreds of bullet comments flooding.

Mainly because Ye Qingzhou’s claim was too outrageous; even for some low-tier Initial Tier Martial Techniques, learning the basics would usually take "days."

"Minute" — what kind of joke is that?

A minute isn’t even enough for a bathroom break!

One fan happened to be a rich second generation, a swordsmanship enthusiast drawn by Ye Qingzhou’s Flying Divine Sword.

But his aptitude was mediocre; he had been practicing swordsmanship for over half a year, consumed many rare treasures, but still hadn’t learned the basics.

"Host, can you really learn a swordsmanship technique in one minute?"

"Uh, is that difficult?"

As soon as he said this, the bullet comments flooded again: "Are you listening to yourself?"

The rich second generation gritted his teeth and immediately offered to buy Ye Qingzhou a sword skill. If Ye Qingzhou could truly learn it in one minute, he’d gift Ye Qingzhou ten Cosmic Hearts!

A single Cosmic Heart costs about 2,700 bucks, ten would be nearly 30,000 bucks.

And buying a Martial Technique would only cost more!

Soon, the rich second generation bought the White Crane Tower Swordsmanship Manual, which he was also practicing, mainly a Mid-Tier Martial Technique in the form of Crane Shadow Sword Technique with Wind and Forest Stances.

Since White Crane Tower was merely a third-rate small sect, this swordsmanship wasn’t expensive, costing only 88,888 bucks, basically affordable for anyone to learn themselves, though it couldn’t be privately shared or the Martial Arts Association would intervene.

"Damn, an 80k+ technique manual, just gifted like that?"

"From a poor family, signing off."

Though saying "signing off," the livestream grew increasingly popular, with many curious if Ye Qingzhou could really learn a swordsmanship technique in one minute.

Ye Qingzhou received the manual materials sent by White Crane Tower on his phone, and they also considerately asked if he’d need someone to guide him.

Of course, such guidance wasn’t free; it would be quite expensive, with the fees for Professional Level Martial Artists attending being much higher than the manual itself.

Ye Qingzhou certainly didn’t need it. Holding his phone, he quickly skimmed through the manual’s contents, taking only thirty seconds in total.

Then, everyone in the livestream saw Ye Qingzhou abruptly stand up, with Dragon Abyss Sword unsheathing alongside him, held firmly in his hand.

Zhng~

As Ye Qingzhou swung, Dragon Abyss hummed and buzzed in his hand, the sound initially faint but gradually growing stronger, until it became like the Wind Sound and Crane Cry, piercing the eardrums.

"Damn, he really mastered it!"

"The White Crane Tower’s ’Crane Shadow Sword Technique’, the hallmark of the Entry Realm is when the sword whistles like the Wind Sound and Crane Cry!"

"What about the promised one minute? Turns out you started counting from reading the manual!"

Everyone was shocked and incredulous because, strictly speaking, Ye Qingzhou didn’t even spend a minute, he only used thirty seconds to grasp the essence of the Crane Shadow Sword Technique and directly entered the Entry Realm.
