Chapter 66 Exchange and Martial Arts Instruction
Chuyun Pass.
Huang Hong and Huang Yi were taken aback by the bustling scene as soon as they arrived. There were at least several thousand people, if not a sea of people.
Of these, only a few hundred were martial artists who came to keep their appointments; the remaining ninety percent were there to serve the former.
Given Xie Juxia's power and status in the Southern Dipper Holy Fist, he could naturally mobilize a large amount of manpower and resources with a single order. As early as when the Hundred Alliances first spread the word, a large number of people came to Chuyun Pass to set up a platform and establish a foundation. After that, several more waves came one after another.
At this time, it would not be an exaggeration to call this temporary meeting place a bustling town.
But seeing this, Huang Hong shook his head and sighed.
There's no other reason than that the influence of Nanto Seiken is simply too great. Fortunately, it's a chaotic time, and those warlords are too busy to spare any attention. If Nanto Seiken were to stage such a show in peacetime, it would truly be a death sentence for them.
Perhaps the future decline of Nanto Seiken is also related to this.
The Hundred Alliances Gathering, to put it simply, is a grand event for the Southern Dipper Holy Fist to enhance its cohesion and increase its influence; it has a professional process.
The first two days are for free exchange. Everyone can sit together and talk about martial arts, discuss current affairs, or just brag. In short, it's a process for everyone to get to know each other.
The two days in between are when the powerful martial arts schools take turns to teach. They will explain the martial arts philosophy of their respective schools and teach the most basic fighting and training methods.
This is actually a bit like spreading martial arts throughout the world; by casting a wide net, you might be able to attract some talented martial artists to join your school.
The fact that Nanto Seiken has been able to attract so many different schools of thought naturally stems from its philosophy of open learning and mutual progress. Besides, there's not much need to keep the most basic things secret anyway.
At the end of this process, Xie Juxia will also take the stage to give a speech.
The last three days will be dedicated to martial arts demonstrations between different schools. Talk is cheap; for martial artists, no matter how eloquent their words are, they can't compare to seeing the real skill in action.
The free exchange time was simple. After all, Huang Yi had been in the martial arts world for so many years and had some connections. Under his guidance, Huang Hong got to know many martial artists, and some of them who got along well would introduce Huang Hong to even more people.
Of course, these were mostly small-scale operations. In the past two days, the highest-ranking people Huang Hong knew were just ordinary disciples from minor sects.
In fact, martial artists in this world don't have a strict hierarchy; they only have a rough title that represents their strength and status.
There's no need to talk about second-rate, third-rate, or even unskilled people; these are all used to evaluate those who are just ordinary farmers. True disciples who are just starting out in a school of martial arts are given titles like "newcomer" or "young hero" in the martial arts world.
According to Huang Hong's observation, such martial artists usually have basic attributes of around 6 or 7 points. With the help of various martial arts they learn, they can fight at least ten people. Some with strong talent can even defeat regular troops.
Above that are the so-called top-tier masters in the martial arts world. These strong individuals are usually the backbone of famous martial arts schools, with basic attributes reaching 8 points. Even when facing an attack by a hundred people, they can easily defeat them.
Even stronger are the martial arts masters. These strong individuals are often the leaders of famous schools. Not only are their basic attributes above 9 points, but they have also comprehended the profound mysteries of their schools, and even some more mysterious things. Even when facing a team of a thousand people, they can move freely.
Finally, those who stand at the pinnacle of martial arts are called martial arts grandmasters. This is not only about strength, but also about prestige. They can stand on equal footing with feudal lords and take the head of an enemy from a massive army as easily as taking something out of a bag.
The only martial arts master Huang Hong has ever met is Xie Juxia, who organized this Hundred Alliances Conference. Xie Juxia only made an appearance once when the conference started.
In Huang Hong's own opinion, Xie Juxia's basic attributes were at least 10 points or more. He seemed gentle on the surface, but gave Huang Hong an extremely dangerous feeling.
Despite Huang Hong's strength and agility both reaching 9 points, and his constitution a terrifying 12 points, if he were to actually face off against Xie Juxia, he would probably be instantly killed in one exchange. His powerful constitution would at most allow him to withstand a few more blows.
Even top-tier experts whose base stats are inferior to his can defeat him through combat skills.
While attributes are one thing, ordinary people need to consider how to bring out 100% of their own attributes, while strong people have to consider even more. They think about how to unleash their attributes three times, five times, or even ten times!
The first and second days passed quickly. During this time, Huang Hong made many friends. Although they were all casual acquaintances, at least they could greet each other when they met in the martial arts world.
The martial arts instruction and teachings on the third and fourth days were particularly beneficial to Huang Hong.
One by one, those powerful martial arts schools took turns demonstrating their skills on the stage. With his martial arts genius and clear thinking, Huang Hong learned more than twenty basic skills in two days, and even mastered three rare-quality skills.
Most of the basic skills didn't require Huang Hong to allocate skill points. By applying his knowledge to other skills, he easily leveled them up to the maximum level and gained a large number of skill specializations.
Although the individual skill specializations in the basic skills don't increase much, the total amount of them has significantly improved his strength and, more importantly, enhanced his martial arts foundation.
Those that didn't reach the maximum level directly pleased Huang Hong even more, because it meant that there were areas he hadn't trained properly, and once he reached the maximum level, they would naturally gain certain attributes.
The same applies to the three rare quality skills.
Without hesitation, Huang Hong directly chose to add points to the energy source.
By the time Huang Hong entered this spacetime echo, he had accumulated over 40 source energy. The reason he hadn't used it was to strengthen his own combat system.
At the end of the fourth day, Master Xie took the stage as promised to give his final lecture on martial arts. His vision was insightful, and the principles of martial arts he explained were both simple and profound.
Thanks to the accumulation of knowledge from the previous two days, Huang Hong was able to understand the deeper meaning behind Xie Juxia's straightforward words, which captivated him.
What Huang Hong didn't know was that his performance had also caught Xie Juxia's attention. After all, although most people appeared to be focused during his speech, with his keen insight, he could tell at a glance who was putting on an act and who was seriously thinking.
Huang Hong's performance even gave Xie Juxia the feeling that the young man had had an epiphany because of his words.
It's human nature to be a know-it-all; otherwise, there wouldn't be so many classic cases where the villain, on the verge of victory, insists on giving the protagonist a long, drawn-out lecture, only to have the villain turn the tide and win.
Therefore, Xie Juxia naturally developed a natural affinity for outstanding students, much like a teacher would have for them.
