BXBX NOVEL Chapter 248 - 176: Martial God_2
Feng Qing’an’s consciousness was immersed in the Bright Dragon Armor, he did not interfere with the Bright Dragon Armor’s skirmish with the warriors who had been called over. Instead, he delved deeply into contemplation, attempting to comprehend the martial arts enlightenment and experiences that the Bright Dragon Armor had accumulated.
This suit of purely psychological armor was open to him in every way. At any time, he could reflect upon the Bright Dragon Armor’s perception and understanding of martial arts. Even more, he could experience firsthand the feeling of sparring with warriors.
This provided Feng Qing’an with immeasurable benefits. Within just a few short days, he no longer required any assistance from the Bright Dragon Armor. He was able to perfectly control his power and with nothing but his fists and feet, strike with an energy attack from several feet away that was quite lethal.
This feeling of effortless success left Feng Qing’an in high spirits these recent days. Hence, even though some had harbored some inappropriate thoughts about the Bright Dragon Armor, he wasn’t affected.
Expecting a martial artist not to be tempted by legendary weapons is like expecting a man to curb lewd thoughts when confronted with absolute beauty, it’s not realistic. As long as they do not act on it, it is still fine. Yet, if they dare to act on it, he would swiftly be able to teach these brutes a lesson on how to act as humans.
However, good times are always short-lived. Engaging real warriors in combat allowed the Bright Dragon Armor to leapfrog in its martial arts abilities. But the benefits gained from fighting with more and more Gang Sha realm martial artists were decreasing straightaway.
At the time of the engagement with the first Gang Sha realm martial artist,
Jiang Bei, Bright Dragon Armor took an overnight’s time just to grasp his “Intent”. But when it came up against an Area Commander, the Bright Dragon Armor spent half the time to achieve the same thing.
By the time it engaged with the fifth martial artist, the Bright Dragon Armor only needed one hour to comprehend the significance of the lancer’s intent. It was able to defeat this opponent effortlessly and did not fall behind from the start.
This made Feng Qing’an understand why warriors always thirst for stronger opponents after defeating one. Continually dealing with warriors of the same level barely yields any gain and could even be considered a waste of time.
Martial artists of the same realm have a high degree of uniformity in some aspects. The “Intent” they comprehend, though different because of various favoured weapons – such as Sword Intent, Knife Intent, Fist Intent, and so forth – is essentially the same.
One law comprehended leads to comprehension of all laws!
When the Bright Dragon Armor comprehended the Knife Intent in its first night, gleaning different types of “Intent” from opponents was a natural development, a matter of course.
This was still because of the Bright Dragon Armor’s unusual natural endowments. It had a prodigious learning ability in martial arts, not being fussy about any weapon and even able to learn various weapon utilization skills from its opponents. If not, Feng Qing’an was thinking of ending this in a few days, to avoid wasting time.
Even then, Feng Qing’an had already made his decision to leave. He planned to enjoy all the specialties of Anqing Mansion, and then move on to the next location. He only needed a few days if he really opened up his appetite and ate from morning till night.
A vigorous martial artist eating with his belly wide open could consume an entire cow in a single day without any problem. Although Feng Qing’an is not a
martial artist, he already has a stomach capable of eating an entire cow.
Five days later
At the gate of Anqing Mansion, a brawny man in brocade robes led a group of guards to send off a young man in white. Such a situation caused the passers-by to avoid them, but they could not help but cast curious glances, guessing their identities.
“Young Master Feng, are you leaving already? Don’t you want to stay a little longer? There are still many places in Qingan City that you haven’t visited yet!”
The seemingly very unassuming City Guard Commander looked somewhat unwilling as he lay his eyes on the young man before him who had already reaped the benefits.
After that night, he had communicated with the Divine Armor several times, each time gaining substantial benefits. In just a few days, he felt that he had made significant progress on the path of martial arts. He even had a vague vision of the road to the Mixed Element Realm.
Such significant progress, how could this martial artist not be moved? Although he did have a family background, for him to advance further, he needed to have the strength that matched it.
He was a military official. Without enough strength to command respect, even if he was promoted by someone else, he would not be secure in his position.
“I have visited every place that I wanted to visit and tasted all the food that I wanted to taste, there is nothing else worth lingering for. It’s time for me to see the next place!”
Feng Qing’an looked at the man in front of him, he was fully aware of the man’s inner thoughts.
Originally, it was beneficial for both parties. But now, everything these guys had learned had basically been scooped away by the Bright Dragon Armor. By continuing to train with them, the Bright Dragon Armor would only end up being exploited by them in return, becoming their unspoken master. Why would Feng Qing’an ever accept that?
“Ah, if it weren’t for my duty, I would really like to accompany Young Master
Yun around Da Jin!”
The commander heaved a sigh as if he genuinely meant his words.
“You don’t want to follow me, you want to communicate more closely with my Ming Dragon Armor!”
Feng Qing’an bluntly exposed the insincere words of the man before him.
Not everyone can pursue such a leisurely and unrestrained life as him. Because he has a clearly visible bright future, he doesn’t value high-ranking officials, worldly fame and fortune.
The position this martial artist now occupies was achieved after half a lifetime of hard work, even with considerable support from behind him. How could it be possible for him to relinquish it?
“Young Master is jesting, isn’t the War God Armor part of you? Wishing to become closer to the War God Armor is, in essence, wishing to follow you, Young Master.”
Being a commander, he was not embarrassed at all by Feng Qing’an’s straightforwardness. On the contrary, stroking the beard on his cheek, he laughed heartily.
“War God Armor?”
Feng Qing’an’s eyebrows raised, and a playful expression appeared on his face.
“Young Master, the talents your armor has shown in the martial arts are rarely seen in my life and unheard of. Not only do I appreciate it, but many martial artists also believe that your armor will one day attain the God Realm.”
“So you all call it War God Armor because it can reach the divine realm through martial arts?”
Feng Qing’an knew that while one could pick a wrong name, one could not pick a wrong nickname.
Successful martial artists often use the nicknames given to them by others as their own. Some martial artists’ nicknames are so grand, they overshadow their original names.
War God Armor is the nickname these martial artists gave to the Ming Dragon Armor. It’s quite grandiose and can generate resentment. Consequently, it’s just armor.
If it was a martial artist who dared to call himself War God, he would probably not take eight steps before being beaten to death by someone.
“Indeed, just within a few days, my boxing intention has made quite some progress. If I could follow you, I might be able to reach the Mixed Element Realm one day!”
“But you’re only thinking about it. If you’re willing to resign, I wouldn’t mind letting you follow me!”
Feng Qing’an jokingly replied. Of course, he didn’t intend to accept the commander in front of him. This was just a jest. It’s hard for people in this world to break free from fame and fortune, even exceptional Gang Sha martial artists are no exception.
“Thank you for your kindness, Young Master, but unfortunately I am not so lucky. This official position is not gained by my own ability, but by my good birth. Were it not for that, it might not be my turn. Even if I want to resign, it’s not up to me.”
Although he heard this young scholar with only a child student’s title offer to take him as a follower, the commander was not annoyed at all. Instead, he seriously explained.
Because the youth in front of him had such capital. Not to mention his elder brother, the armor he wore alone was enough to attract many martial artists. He, as an official, can’t follow, but other people can!
Are there few martial artists who travel through mountains and rivers in this world? As soon as the reputation of the War God Armor spreads, wherever this young master goes, a horde of martial artists will swarm like blood-thirsty sharks.
Whether to establish a martial arts family depends on this young master’s thoughts. If he is willing, a thousand-year-old family is within reach.
No matter how powerful a martial artist is, he will have an end to his lifespan, but armor does not have restrictions on “lifespan”..
