Jiangnan Academy.
The school leaders, students, and Martial Artists from both inside and outside the academy all craned their necks, looking up at the sky where Jiang Shu was becoming ever smaller.
So were constantly taking photos, while others, listening to Jiang Shu’s words, fell into deep thought, murmuring in conversation.
"Martial Arts are indeed too difficult. If Genetic Potions had no side effects, I would definitely choose them too. Isn’t the developnt of technology the progress of an era? Just like the transition from cold weapons to firearms, if we remain conservative, our Xia Country couldn’t possibly develop," one said.
"The military has already started to implent Genetic Potions. So enhance speed, so increase physique, so even strengthen power. Compared to Martial Arts, these are more specialized, but it also reflects the greater variety of choices that genes provide," another ntioned.
"Right, Martial Arts are more comprehensive. Perhaps this is what Jiang Tian ant by insisting on Martial Arts. But no matter how comprehensive Martial Arts are, if we can’t reach the Refined Vigor Realm, and taking Genetic Potions can bring us to the Third or even Fourth Rank, I would definitely choose Genetic Potions," soone else added.
As the world changed abruptly, its developnt was ever-changing. As Martial Artists, the information they could access was naturally the most comprehensive.
Many were aware of the existence of Cosmic Relics and knew that research into Genetic Potions was advancing by leaps and bounds. In contrast, Martial Arts had not progressed much in essence, beyond aspects of Martial Arts becoming more mature and the at of Mutant Beasts being cultivated more abundantly.
It still required Talent to advance, just as it always had.
If the global pattern were to remain fixed, with the West dominated by genes and the East by Martial Arts, that would be fine. In the end, they were reaping the benefits of the era. Although their Talent for Martial Arts might be diocre compared to a Grandmaster, becoming a Martial Artist was enough for them to beco millionaires, never having to worry about livelihood, living life above others.
But was that possible?
When the developnt of genes completely surpasses Martial Arts, if Xia Country wants to compete with Freedom Country, it will have to introduce Genetic Potions on a massive scale. This is evident from the incorporation of genetics into the curriculum, starting with today’s schools.
When Genetic War Generals flood the scene, will their status as Martial Artists remain as high as it is now?
「In the sky.」
Jiang Shu’s figure had already ascended to over ten thousand ters above ground. The thin oxygen at that altitude could cause any ordinary person to gradually lose consciousness or even suffocate.
Even a Grandmaster would have to hold their breath, relying on the blood-producing functions of their internal organs and marrow to remain conscious.
But to Jiang Shu, who had already entered the Fetal Breathing Realm, he no longer depended on breathing through his mouth and nose. To him, heaven and earth were like amniotic fluid to an infant; what he breathed was not oxygen but the endless energy of heaven and earth.
From the mont he obtained the Holy Embryo Condensation thod, he had contemplated where he should go about Condensing his Holy Embryo.
The more powerful the heaven and earth, the stronger the Holy Embryo that would be condensed.
A-rank Heaven and Earth Secret Realms on Xuanxing seed capable of nurturing Sixth Rank Mutant Beasts. The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi inside, even more concentrated than on Xuanxing when the passage was not completely stable, was considered by Jiang Shu as just a part of Xuanxing itself.
Condensing the Holy Embryo inside them would be inferior to doing it within Xuanxing itself.
And was Xuanxing, indeed, a good choice? Not necessarily.
Jiang Shu believed that in the years to co, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi on Xuanxing would continuously grow denser. However, from a certain perspective, the current Xuanxing was still in its growth phase. It had infinite potential but was not yet strong enough.
With his current Realm, passing the internal selection of the Da Jing Dynasty was not a problem.
But to stand out in the Battle of a Hundred Dynasties, let alone climb up the ranks in a Sect, the Condensing of the Holy Embryo was crucial.
Therefore, in the past few days, he had been mulling over a possibility and decided to implent it thoroughly today!
As ti passed, Jiang Shu’s figure had already disappeared from the Martial Artists’ gazes, but they still gathered at the entrance of Jiangnan Academy, without a hint of impatience. They took out their phones, searching for the official live stream.
To avoid overcrowding, the officials had opened hundreds of live stream rooms this ti, limiting each room to ten million viewers. Still, every room was packed to the brim.
Across major social platforms, speculation on what Jiang Tian intended to do was rampant.
"He’s risen above ten thousand ters! How exactly did Jiang Tian do it? Simple levitation is understandable. One can use their inner strength to tear at the air, condensing it into a Protective Aura to achieve brief aerial suspension. But at ten thousand ters, wouldn’t all the inner strength in their body be exhausted by now?" soone questioned.
"I don’t know, and I can’t understand. Forget about the Protective Aura Realm; we haven’t even reached the Refined Vigor Realm. How could we possibly understand the Heavenly Human Realm? Jiang Tian said that the current Martial Arts Realms are actually quite average and that in the future, Fourth and Fifth Rank Genetic War Generals and War Gods will be plentiful. However, I believe that no Sixth Rank Gene Warrior could do what Jiang Tian did—rise ten thousand ters into the sky. It’s not just a symbol of power. At such an altitude, the oxygen is extrely thin. How can anyone breathe?" another pondered.
"It’s beyond comprehension. I just checked the forums in other countries, and they’re all baffled too. Perhaps Jiang Tian is trying to convey that the level of Martial Arts Cultivation he has achieved is beyond what Genetic Potions can help one reach?" a third surmised.
"Compared to what you’re saying, I’m actually more concerned about the new thod. Jiang Tian did say in the end that when he returns, he will create a new thod and teach it to the masses. What could this new thod be?" another wondered aloud.
