Chapter 18: Heaven and Man Martial Arts

Under the gaze of the guests, a tall woman slowly walked over surrounded by a crowd of people.

The long silver hair reflects the unique luster of metal.

Zhang Yu wondered if this head of hair was from a Dharmakaya. He wondered how much a single hair was worth.

The woman's red evening dress was covered with traces of flowing fire, as if balls of flame were jumping in it and emitting powerful fluctuations of magical power.

Zhao Tianxing thought that this dress itself seemed to be a magic weapon and was probably priceless.

At the same time, the director of Xianyun Group, who looked as if covered with a layer of gold foil, took the initiative to greet Li Xuelian.

Then two other wealthy people in the foundation-building stage also joined

Involved in the exchange between the two.

Surrounding them were many wealthy and famous people, who were eager to chat with the four people and become familiar with them.

But I didn't give these people much chance.

After chatting with the three of them for a few words, Li Xuelian came to the curtain of the Heaven and Man Martial Arts Show.

"Everyone, thank you for coming to the exhibition today."

Amid the applause, Li Xuelian smiled slightly and continued, "At this moment full of creativity and inspiration, we gather together..."

Listening to Li Xuelian's speech, Zhang Yu yawned out of boredom, wondering if he should take this opportunity to breathe.

Suddenly his eyes moved, and he thought to himself that he had been practicing more and more diligently recently. He didn't know whether it was because he was forced into getting used to it by the power of the ritual, or because of the subtle influence of this world and this society on him.

Fortunately, Li Xuelian's speech was not long. While Zhang Yu was thinking, she had already talked about the topic that the many immortal cultivation geniuses present were most interested in.

Li Xuelian: "In the past few years, my father has been looking for a disciple to inherit his martial arts and Taoist skills."

"Unfortunately, his requirements are quite high. After searching for many years, he still hasn't found a disciple who really meets the requirements."

“So he personally painted this picture of heaven and man performing martial arts, and hid a set of martial arts in this painting.”

"If there is a young hero under the age of 18 who can master the martial arts, my father is willing to accept him as his disciple and train him to a top university with all his strength."

"But this painting contains a trace of martial arts ideas left by my father. Looking at this painting will be impacted by this idea and may damage your Taoist heart."

"In the process of comprehension, please act within your capabilities to avoid being hurt by the martial arts ideas..."

Following Li Xuelian's introduction, she slowly pulled open the curtain, revealing the picture of heavenly martial arts performance behind it.

In a picture frame more than two meters high, a blurry figure slowly emerged.

"Is this the picture drawn by the Golden Core Master?" Zhang Yu looked at the painting and felt that it looked like a simple human figure scribbled by someone, almost the same as something drawn by an elementary school student.

Just when Zhang Yu was thinking this, someone shouted, "Great painting!"

"This painting is full of life and the brushwork is very vivid. Xinghuo Zhenren's paintings are really exquisite and put us to shame."

Someone immediately followed suit and boasted: "It's so beautiful. This painting may seem simple, but it contains a profound artistic conception. The more you look at it, the more you will enjoy it."

Just as more and more people began to praise the picture of the heavenly martial arts performance, Li Xuelian could not help but cough and interrupted everyone's conversation.

Then she explained, "Everyone, my father has set a mystery on this painting to prevent it from accidentally hurting people. Only those who are within five meters can see the true content of the painting, but they will also be affected by the martial arts ideas in it."

"If there are any young heroes who want to comprehend, please step forward and look at the painting."

After hearing what Li Xuelian said, the few people who were bragging just now immediately blushed and stopped talking in embarrassment.

However, there was someone who had already taken the lead and walked towards the Tianren Martial Arts Show. It was Lian Tianji from Ziyun High School who had just spoken to the "Urn".

"Haha, let me Lian Tianji take a look at the mystery of this Heaven and Man Martial Arts Diagram."

Then Lian Tianji was seen smiling and walking quickly towards the direction of the Heavenly Martial Arts Show.

Qian Shen's eyes moved as he watched this scene, and he thought to himself, "It's Lian Tianji from Ziyun High School. He's a tough guy who scored 670 in the monthly exam at Ziyun High School last month. He's one of the opponents I want to challenge after I defeat Bai Zhenzhen."

As Lian Tianji walked towards the Heavenly Martial Arts Show, he saw the figures in the painting becoming clearer and clearer. It seemed that he could see a middle-aged man slowly performing a set of profound martial arts.

Lian Tianji's spirit was gradually attracted by it, and finally he saw the man in the painting suddenly punched towards him through the air.

Bang! There seemed to be a muffled sound in the air.

Lian Tianji suddenly stopped, his eyes wide open, staring in the direction of the Heaven and Man Martial Arts Show.

Looking at him standing there motionless, everyone felt that Lian Tianji had been immersed in the "Heaven and Man Martial Arts Diagram" and was comprehending the mysterious martial arts contained therein.

Li Xuelian, who was not far away, explained calmly, "My father wanted to select disciples with strong wills and extraordinary spirits... When comprehending the Heaven and Man Martial Arts Diagram, the comprehenders will face the fear in their hearts."

“Only by being strong-minded and overcoming one’s inner weaknesses can one comprehend the mysteries of painting.”

Everyone who heard this was surprised again. They looked at Lian Tianji curiously, wondering what he had seen.

At this moment, in Lian Tianji's eyes, the world around him was changing, and he had returned to the classroom unknowingly. It seemed that he had forgotten the art exhibition, Li Xuelian, and the Martial Arts Show between Heaven and Earth... everything.

The head teacher was reporting the results of the last monthly exam on the podium.

But starting from the first place, he never heard his own name.

No. 10 does not have myself...

No. 20 does not have myself...

No. 50 still doesn’t include me…

As the scores read out got lower and lower, Lian Tianji became more and more nervous...

At the exhibition, looking at Lian Tianji who was still comprehending the Heavenly Man Martial Arts Diagram, Li Xuelian said, "The Heavenly Man Martial Arts Diagram can be comprehended together. If there are any young heroes who are interested, please come to the front of the painting."

Qian Shen and several classmates around him looked at each other and walked towards the direction of the Tianren Yanwu Tu.

At the same time, other young men who came to comprehend the Heavenly Martial Arts Diagram walked over one after another.

Zhang Yu looked at Zhou Tianyi beside him and asked curiously, "Why don't you try it?"

Zhou Tianyi laughed, shrugged and said, "I'm just here to watch the fun, I'd better not go up and humiliate myself."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Zhang Yu turned his head and looked at Bai Zhenzhen beside him, and asked, "What about you? Are you not going up either?"

Bai Zhenzhen glanced in the direction of the Heavenly Martial Arts Diagram and said calmly, "I'm still hesitating."

Zhang Yu asked curiously, "What are you hesitating about?"

Bai Zhenzhen: "I don't want to find a master for myself."

She thought to herself, "To become a disciple, I must sign a contract with that Starfire Master and create a body-selling indenture."

Bai Zhenzhen sighed inwardly: "Let's not talk about anything else at that time... Just choosing which university and which major to study will probably make me subject to his control. I will also end up owing a lot of debt, and I don't know how the interest will be calculated..."

When Zhang Yu heard Bai Zhenzhen's hesitation, he immediately said, "If you don't master this set of martial arts, you don't have to be Xinghuo Zhenren's disciple."

Zhang Yu looked in the direction of the Heavenly Man Martial Arts Diagram and smiled slightly, saying, "The martial arts left by Jindan Zhenren, even if they were practiced in the Qi Training Stage, if we were to buy the copyright to use them ourselves, it would cost at least tens of thousands of dollars, right? If there is a chance to learn martial arts for free, why not take it?"

"If you don't want to be Master Xinghuo's disciple, then you can just not master this martial art today."

Zhao Tianxing, who was standing by, curled his lips secretly when he heard this. He felt that Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen were each more arrogant than the other. At the same time, he stepped away a few steps, fearing that someone around would look at him and think he was the same arrogant and ignorant person.

Bai Zhenzhen looked at Zhang Yu speechlessly, thinking: "To force Yuzi into this mental state... How fierce are the debt collection efforts of small platform loans?"

Zhou Tianyi smiled and said, "That makes sense. It doesn't cost money to comprehend it anyway, so why don't we just give it a try together."

However, Zhao Tianxing refused Zhang Yu and Zhou Tianyi's request. He felt it was too embarrassing to think about himself comprehending the Heavenly Martial Arts Diagram in public while wearing a security guard or waiter uniform.

But looking at Zhang Yu's back as he walked up, he suddenly admired the other person's shamelessness.

At this moment, the intercom on Zhao Tianxing's waist rang, and the security captain scolded: "What are you doing? You are security guards, who told him to leave his post to comprehend the martial arts diagram? Why don't you call him back quickly?"

Zhao Tianxing was sweating profusely after being scolded. He hurriedly ran forward while shouting, trying to pull Zhang Yu back.

As Zhao Tianxing approached the picture of heaven and man performing martial arts step by step, the figures in the picture gradually became clearer, and bursts of laughter were heard from all around.

Zhao Tianxing turned his head and found that everyone in the exhibition was looking at him, pointing at him, commenting on him, and laughing at him for overestimating his own abilities. A mere security guard wanted to comprehend the martial arts diagram.

Amid the ridicule of countless people, Zhao Tianxing slowly stopped, feeling embarrassed and at a loss. He touched his head and scratched his ears, not knowing how to stand.

At the same time, as Zhang Yu and the other two approached the Heavenly Martial Arts Picture step by step, the blurry figure in the picture gradually became clearer and turned into a middle-aged man with a resolute face, and finally he punched towards them through the air.

Bai Zhenzhen only felt a darkness in front of her eyes, and her cell phone began to vibrate wildly.

She picked it up and found it was a collection text message from a lending platform.

"Regarding your overdue payment of 'Qianbei', due to multiple ineffective reminders, the situation is serious. Please settle the outstanding balance within three days after receiving this message. If you continue to be overdue, we will handle it in accordance with relevant laws..."

"If you continue to owe the money, we will check your location..."

"Old Lai, you are so shameless that you owe me this little money. Can the whole family help you pick up the bottles together..."

There are more and more collection text messages, and the content of the text messages is becoming more and more unscrupulous. From simple collection requests, they have gradually turned into all-round insults, abuses, and threats...

Bai Zhenzhen looked at the endless collection text messages on her phone, sweating profusely and her whole body tense, until the phone rang.

But looking at the phone that kept ringing, Bai Zhenzhen was hesitant to answer it.

But even though she didn't do anything, the phone answered automatically.

As she stared in horror, a cold male voice came from the phone.

"You have committed credit fraud and have not paid on time, which constitutes a serious breach of contract. We have locked your location through Skynet. If you still don't pay off your debt within three days, a thunderstorm will befall you..."

A muffled thunder sounded.

Bai Zhenzhen looked up suddenly and saw a faint flash of lightning above her head.
