“If you have it, then you can look to me.”
"Because, before you stands an unparalleled genius, a martial artist who defeated a martial master, and a prodigy who, during the clan's chaos, used forbidden techniques to drive those two old dogs into a rout!"
"My body is ruined, but my brain is gone! My martial arts talent and comprehension are still within me. Moreover, I can teach you, let you know what I see, what I hear, and what I feel."
Dao Cheng raised his hand, and from below the stage, nineteen people—some known, some strangers, but all marching in unison, full of spirit, confidence, and fervor—led a man who had been kneeling in the Mu family's territory for three days up.
"I, Dao Hou, have received instruction and practiced martial arts for less than a year, yet I am now a third-level martial artist! I have comprehended the Blood Slaughter Intent! On the day of the clan's chaos, I will slay one martial master and fifty martial artists!"
The dog's massive body cast a shadow in front of the Mu family members. With his grinning mouth and fierce-looking face, he exuded the aura and appearance of a malevolent demon lord, making people tremble with fear.
"I, Ma Yunlai, received guidance from Master Chengyi. I am now a second-level martial artist. On the day of the clan's chaos, I killed four third-level martial artists and thirty other martial artists!"
"I, Zhao Yiwu, am a disciple of the Fushan Martial Arts School. Under the guidance of Master Daocheng, I entered the ranks of martial artists three months ago. I am currently a second-level martial artist. On the day of the clan uprising, I killed twenty-six martial artists!"
...One person after another stepped forward to introduce themselves, each with an amazing record, from comprehending the essence of martial arts to achieving mastery and leaping in realm. Without exception, they were all capable of killing ten enemies at once.
How would you feel if you saw such a scene? Is it the absurd feeling of someone who thought their poor academic performance was due to their own shortcomings for many years, and who was frustrated and disappointed after failing the college entrance exam, suddenly seeing a student who was just as hopeless as themselves being taught by a good teacher and becoming a genius?
A genius, besides possessing terrifying strength, can also enlighten people like a martial arts master, teaching them to make rapid progress every day.
Many people were unwilling to believe it, especially the older martial artists. Some stepped out from the crowd, saying excitedly that it was impossible and that they must have had the talent all along!
Even if some people recognize that some of the people in the group were mediocre and unremarkable in the past, they still can't believe it.
"I know it's hard for you to believe, but I will prove it to you."
"You should know this person, right? He knelt before the clan's territory for three days, a..."
Dao Chengyi looked at the man whose breath was somewhat weak, and the latter immediately knelt down in a devout manner upon seeing Dao Chengyi.
"My lord! I am a contestant in the Azure Dragon Tournament, ranked twenty-fourth! I am from Little Wind Village. I previously studied at the Spirit Crane Martial Arts Academy, and I came here to follow you! Because of you, I saw hope for the legend of martial arts! Please let me follow you! Let me witness your legend!"
He excitedly introduced himself, looking at Dao Chengyi with the eyes of someone looking at a god, and his words were filled with longing for the day he had dreamed of meeting him.
"Then can you do me a favor? Use all your strength to prove your power to them."
Unwilling to believe? Then it's simple, it's just a contest. As soon as this person heard that Dao Chengyi needed it, he stood in front of the Mu family without hesitation.
"Come! How dare you question the master's talent! Let me teach you a lesson!"
How dare someone who has been kneeling in front of the door for three days be so arrogant? Naturally, some people couldn't stand it, and several martial artists of the same level started fighting him.
It's hard to say whether a martial artist who hasn't eaten for three days still has half of their strength left! With this in mind, one person after another went up.
But they fell down faster and faster, as if to restart their rusty bodies. Ten moves, six moves, three moves, and even the last move. Four people went up and came down.
He was undoubtedly a genius, yet even such a genius knelt before the door for three days, determined to become Dao Chengyi's follower, even if it meant his meridians were destroyed.
He rested on the ring, looking down at the people below, pointing at a few who were too timid to step forward and speaking.
"Screw and cower, behaving like petty scoundrels! You think you deserve the master's help? You've really earned your good fortune eight lifetimes ago! Come on! Come up and fight me! Let the master see if you're any good!"
At this moment, a clever person walked up to Dao Chengyi and begged him to give him pointers on fighting techniques. Dao Chengyi granted his wish and allowed him to set up his martial arts stance on the stage.
Holding his cane, he pointed out each point to him and whispered in his ear. In less than twenty minutes, he confidently stepped onto the ring.
Although they are at the same level and their ages differ, since they are both geniuses, they should not be judged by their age. People watched and thought this would be a good match, at least the one who received the instruction should be able to fight back and forth.
But the result was quite unexpected. He didn't fall off the stage after just one move, but then, after three, six, and ten moves, this member of the Mu family seemed to have suddenly become enlightened, and his martial arts skills improved visibly.
In the end, he suffered from not having eaten and was defeated in a series of battles. However, he did not harbor any resentment. On the contrary, as if he had verified something, he looked at the slender Dao Chengyi with even greater determination.
But that still wasn't enough. Dao Chengyi then called up several pairs of people who were generally considered mediocre or had shortcomings. One after another, nearly an hour passed.
Everyone can witness an undeniable fact: martial arts is the path to enlightenment for geniuses, and the same talent exists in teaching others, turning the ordinary into the extraordinary.
"I come from humble beginnings, I know what it feels like to be ordinary and to fail. I have walked in a year what many people cannot walk in a lifetime. I know what the world looks like through the eyes of a genius."
