Infinite Professions

Chapter 277 - 147: Zen Martial_2

"It’s not just skill, but also vision, experience, reaction, and wisdom!"

The Master of All Knowledge said in a deep voice: "Battle experience, on-the-spot reaction, wisdom against opponents, this Wu Wudi is definitely a seasoned fighter who has fought countless enemies, a powerful figure who emerged from life-and-death situations, otherwise he wouldn’t have such accumulation."

"Despite his Dragon Tiger Golden Core being only at Ninth Transformation, when it operates, it flows like clouds and water, effortless and boundless in change, reaching a realm difficult for ordinary people to attain, utmost hardness and softness, utmost yin and yang, or perhaps Harmonious Balance of Strength and Softness, Yin and Yang in Unity, all within his single thought."

"The defeat of Baili Cangfeng wasn’t due to cultivation or cultivation body, but in skill techniques and experience accumulation. After all, he’s too young, albeit a prodigy from heaven, but in some aspects still lacking maturity and seasoned wisdom."

Through his words, the Master of All Knowledge distinguished the cause of victory and defeat.

"This..."

Xiaobi and Xiaoluo exchanged a glance, posing the question in everyone’s hearts: "In that case, is Wu Wudi an elder master with rich experience and accumulation?"

The Master of All Knowledge nodded: "Theoretically, yes."

"But seven years ago, he was only at Tier Two cultivation."

Xiaobi continued questioning, "In just seven years, he went from Tier Two to Tier Five, whereas Baili Cangfeng has been reigning atop the Tier Five rankings for ten years. How could his accumulation surpass Baili Cangfeng’s?"

"That I don’t know."

The Master of All Knowledge shook his head: "But I presume it might have something to do with his profession; after all, Professional Power is unfathomable. Rising to the top because of it is only natural."

The two nodded their heads: "That makes sense indeed."

"Regardless of the reason, strength is strength!"

The Master of All Knowledge said deeply: "Now his strength is very clear, Tier Five cultivation, Dragon Tiger Golden Core, top-notch foundation, transcendent skill, rich experience, extraordinary wisdom. He truly lives up to the name invincible within the Golden Core Realm."

"Really?"

"Is it that exaggerated?"

"Come on, how much did you get paid for praising him like this?"

"Seven years from Tier Two to Tier Five, and having such accumulation, what profession is this guy in?"

"How are there so many cheaters in this world?"

Despite some skepticism about the Master of All Knowledge’s evaluation, most still believed it largely.

The Master of All Knowledge was indifferent whether the people believed him or not, continuing to guide the topic: "So, to surpass this Wu Wudi, either press with strong foundations to win by force, or surpass in techniques to conquer the enemy cleverly."

"This seems a bit difficult."

Bi Luo and his companion kept on playing along: "Brother Knowledge, do you think there will be such a master?"

"The universe is vast, people are beyond imagining!"

The Master of All Knowledge smiled mysteriously: "Let’s wait and see."

"Hmph!"

"Same old trick!"

"What wait and see, you already know, don’t you?"

"No need for you to spell it out, I already guess. With this guy taunting and inciting grudges like this, how would the academies tolerate him? Surely a true genius will emerge to subdue him."

"Haven’t there been rumors? Previously he defeated the Tier Six Observing Precepts Ascetic using just Tier Five cultivation, mocking him as ’too weak’ so much that the Observing Precepts Ascetic was enraged and vowed to show him the power of Dharma Zen Martial."

"I think he’s like an autumn grasshopper, won’t be hopping for long!"

"To be honest, why incite such hatred?"

"Who knows, maybe he truly believes he’s invincible!"

The audience wasn’t amused by the Master of All Knowledge’s pretended mystique.

Bi Luo and his companion redirected the topic: "Brother Knowledge, in your view, will he be overpowered by force, or will he be outmaneuvered by skill?"

The Master of All Knowledge smiled slightly: "It’s too early to determine the outcome now!"

"I mean hypothetically!"

Xiaoluo emphasized: "If he loses, how would he lose?"

"Hypothetically..."

The Master of All Knowledge pondered: "I think it should be the latter!"

"The latter?"

"Winning by skill?"

The two exchanged a glance, curious about his response: "Why?"

"Very simple!"

The Master of All Knowledge chuckled: "If winning by force, then just find a Tier Seven or Tier Eight to fight him, though he can transcend one realm, he surely can’t transcend two, right?"

"Tier Seven or Eight?"

The two frowned: "What would be the significance of winning like that?"

"That’s why I say the latter!"

The Master of All Knowledge kept smiling: "Only a battle within the same tier, winning fairly, would make the victory meaningful!"

"This Master of All Knowledge..."

"He sure is putting academies on the spotlight!"

"How much did Wu Wudi pay him?"

"He’ll do anything for material, won’t he?"

Many discerning figures in the audience silently shook their heads in light of his remarks.

At this moment...

A communication signal arrived, the Master of All Knowledge’s face changed, announcing to everyone: "We’ve just received news that Little Dharma, Dao Xuankong, challenged Wu Wudi. We’re heading to the scene immediately."

With that, he got up hurriedly and left.

"Little Dharma?"

"Dao Xuankong?"

"Who is that?"

The crowd hearing this name was utterly confused.

In the blink of an eye.

"The defending player is ID: 9527**** Wu Wudi, battle level Tier Five Level 9 (Dao Golden Core)."

"The challenging player is ID: 1186**** Dao Xuankong, battle level Tier Five Level 9 (Indestructible Golden Core)."

"Time remaining for the battle to start is 120 minutes."

"As per the host’s setup, entry fee for observation is 1,000,000 Yuan."

"Player Murong Yan joins the battle observation."

"Player Li Muyun joins the battle observation."

"Player Teng Qinglong joins the battle observation."

"Player Baili Cangfeng joins the battle observation."

"..."

"A million entry fee?"

"They’re certainly earning a fortune!"

"Is this guy really short on money?"

The Master of All Knowledge muttered under his breath looking at the entrance fee, yet decisively reached for his wallet.

A million isn’t a small sum, at least not for ordinary people, and for watching a virtual battle, frankly, it’s not worth it.

But whether it’s worth it depends on the person.

The Master of All Knowledge deemed it as worthwhile.

As for others...

Upon entering, the spectator seats were already packed.

There’s no doubt; someone has stirred up too much resentment lately. Those he antagonized aren’t short on money either. Now hearing the intervention of Dharma Martial Mansion, naturally, they all flocked here, some even brought their families, all just to watch him lose and relieve their pent-up emotions.

"Just this entrance fee alone is enough for him to earn a fortune."

"But the premise is he must win, as the winner takes all. The loser isn’t entitled to share the observation revenue."

"Can he win?"

"And that Little Dharma!"

"..."

The Master of All Knowledge sat in the crowd, his expression full of anticipation.

"Dao Xuankong, the true pride of Dharma Martial Mansion, a disciple under the esteemed Bodhidharma at both courtyards, is said to possess unparalleled talent in both Buddhist Dao and Martial Dao, inheriting the Transmission of the Buddha’s Heart Seal, mastering Unity of Zen and Martial, proficient in Dharma Teachings, the most outstanding figure of Dharma Martial Mansion in nearly ten thousand years, known as ’Little Dharma.’"

"Such a figure, extremely rooted in foundation, has been at Dharma Martial Mansion for nineteen years, successfully integrating the Child’s Skill, Golden Bell Shield, Yijinjing, Bone Marrow Cleansing Scripture, the Four Great Divine Skills of Dharma Martial Mansion, into his body, advanced into the Fifth Realm, forming a Twelve-Transformation Indestructible Golden Core."

"Additionally, his profession, based on Dharma Martial Mansion’s ’Zen Martial Cultivator,’ explores a newly developed special profession, specifics unknown but with immense potential, extremely effective, significantly aiding his cultivation of Zen Martial Arts. Future prospects include achieving Twelfth-Order Buddha Fruit Position!"

"Such a prodigy typically wouldn’t be on the Divine Martial Battle Net. This time it’s due to Wu Wudi’s excessive provocation, insulting Zen Sect, leading Dharma Martial Mansion to allow him to intervene, impacting his cultivation and professional advancement."

"Wait, this Wu Wudi..."

The Master of All Knowledge’s eyes widened, rechecking the battle information, and then exclaimed in contrasting color: "Dao Golden Core?"

Within this exclamation, two streams of Spirit Light appeared in the battlefield, forming two figures standing resolutely against each other.
