This Taoist Master is too Frivolous

Chapter 240: Chapter 186: Martial Arts Realm, Headmaster Xu Yang?_2

A large amount of text covered the space.

The following was a “Martial Arts Rank Division” chart.

The chart had a very detailed division of martial arts ranks, such as the “Body Refining Four Realms”.

The first realm was “Flesh Refining”, also called “Martial Novice” in the published chart; the second realm was “Skin Training”, called “Martial Disciple”; the third realm was “Tendon Training”, which was “Martial Warrior”; and the fourth realm was “Bone Training”, which was “Martial Master”!

In the Martial Novice realm, one could temper their body, improve their blood and energy, become strong and powerful, develop solid and well-toned muscles, and increase their reaction speed!

Upon reaching the Martial Disciple realm, one would have a certain level of combat abilities, strong and sturdy skin, and greatly enhanced resistance to attacks!

Upon completion of the Body Refining Four Realms, one would reach the “Limit of Acquired”. One step further would lead to the Innate Grandmaster!

Above the Innate Grandmaster was the Heavenly Being Realm, and above that was the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

Only the names of these three realms were published, without any detailed introductions.

With the announcement of the martial arts realms, it immediately caused an uproar on the internet, and various posts were popping up like mushrooms after a rain!

“So the novels were true! Is the spiritual aura returning? I’m 28 this year, can I still start practicing?”

“I refuse to accept this, why are only martial arts realms published when Buddhist and Daoist realms are not? I am a believer in Buddhism and I want to practice Buddhist scriptures!”

“Brothers, is this thing true or not? Why are there only martial arts ranks, not martial arts methods? Can my inherited Bull Demon Mighty Fist and Tiger Demon Bone Training Method be practiced?”

Even some streamers began practicing martial arts live, and gained many fans in the process!

Soon.

Another piece of news topped the trending topics.

“Master Chen from Wudang livestreams popularizing Daoist skills and martial arts knowledge, one leap into the air and lands on a 6o-foot-tall building…”

Xu Yang knew about Wudang’s “Master Chen”.

He often posted short videos and occasionally live-streamed, sharing some fun facts about cultivation.

Of course.

Before this, his short videos were quite reserved and didn’t show any “extraordinary” powers.

There were many skeptics online.

Some said that Master Chen was all show and lacked practical abilities.

Others invited martial artists to challenge him.

There was also an interesting story.

A certain boxing blogger went to challenge Wudang for attention, but at that time Master Chen’s Senior Brother was asleep and accidentally injured the blogger due to his grumpiness. He even compensated him 8000 dollars.

But today, with the announcement of the martial arts realms by the Da Xia government, the videos posted by Master Chen changed their style altogether.

In the videos, he held a sword and cut through a large area of bamboo from a distance; he jumped and landed on a building over 60 feet tall, then gracefully descended with his hands behind his back.

These videos immediately stirred up a *storm.

“Sure enough, it’s published…” Xu Yang wasn’t too surprised.

Nowadays, with the strange incidents happening everywhere, continued concealment wouldn’t be beneficial. Instead, as Minister Wang had suggested, disclosing the truth to the public and popularizing martial arts might discover some talents who, after being trained, might become powerful fighters!

He was currently in his honeymoon period and didn’t pay too much attention to the matter.

For three consecutive days.

Xu Yang stayed at home, sleeping during the day and staying up all night…

On July 30th, he received a call from Feng Zhaoqing.

On the phone, Feng said that he had important matters to discuss with Xu Yang. Xu Yang thought for a moment and replied, “You come to my shop, we’ll talk there.”

Arriving at the funeral store.

As soon as he opened the door, Feng Zhaoqing arrived.

After exchanging pleasantries, Feng cut to the chase: “The government has already announced martial arts and Daoist cultivation realm divisions, I’m sure Master Xu knows about this.”

Xu Yang nodded.

Feng Zhaoqing continued, “These past few days, Minister Wang has visited the martial clans, martial arts sects, Daoist and Buddhist temples, and borrowed many martial arts and Daoist scriptures.”

Xu Yang’s mouth twitched…

Borrowed?

Those clans and sects treat their secret scriptures as more precious than life itself, and some even have strict rules like “men can inherit, but women can’t” for fear that their secrets would be leaked.

It’s estimated that the word “borrow” in Feng Zhaoqing’s statement had a lot of creative interpretation.

He didn’t interject, just listening quietly.

“Actually, the country had started planning for this more than a decade ago. Ecological migration policies were implemented to move people out of the mountains and concentrate populations to avoid difficulties in emergency rescue when under attack from Yin spirits and malevolent beings.”

“Take the founding of the Daoist academies, for example.”

“More than a decade ago, the country secretly established four Daoist academies in cooperation with Dragon Tiger Mountain, Wudang, Quanzhen, and Maoshan Sect. However, most of the outstanding students trained in these academies chose to further their studies in various Daoist schools, and only a few joined the Supernatural Affairs Bureau.”

When speaking this line, Feng couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

He said, “Now the country has decided to vigorously promote martial arts and Daoist skills. Martial Arts Academies will be established in each province… and the one in Xi Xia Province is planned to be in Wu City… The higher-ups have already spoken with the Education Department, Wu City’s Ethnic Vocational and Technical College can be vacated for use as the academy.”

“On this basis, reconstruction will be carried out, with the goal of enrolling the first batch of students in September.”

“Furthermore, the government also plans to include martial arts and Daoist skills education in the school curriculum for primary and secondary students. By the time they reach high school, they can start practicing systematically…. If they show exceptional talent, they can enter the Martial Arts Academy through the college entrance examination for comprehensive training and education!”
