Translator: 549690339
Upon returning to the Martial Academy, Pei Xuanjing did not expect that he would no longer be able to maintain his anonymity. The events of tonight’s assassination attempt have led to his name being spoken by various factions.
Initially, when Pei Xuanjing first arrived in Tiandu, despite his young age of twenty-two, he was a Third-grade Martial Artist and master which drew attention from various factions.
However, as Pei Xuanjing secluded himself within the academy for half a year, maintaining a low profile, many forces overlooked him, some even thought that he might be stabilizing his foundation because he had advanced too early.
This is why the target of this ambush was Pei Xuanjing, as other masters belonging to the Martial Academy have immersed themselves within the Third-grade Martial Artist realm for years, hence Pei Xuanjing became the soft target.
That was exactly what Gu Ji had warned him about: if one is too low-profile, it is easy to be treated as a pushover.
This time, Pei Xuanjing stood out, slaying the infamous MO Bei Trio, and even when facing interference from the Military Equipment Department, he showed decisiveness and momentum, letting everyone know he was not one to be bullied, but a tough nut to crack.
Thus, after this battle, Pei Xuanjing has gained a resounding reputation.
At the very least, nobody would consider him a soft target in the future, and he would be recognized by all factions as a true member of the Tiandu circle, capable of making his own declarations. Of course, Pei Xuanjing was unaware of all these, as these would only gradually reveal themselves.
After seeing Pang Hong return, he retreated to his room.
He meditated, replaying the recent events in his mind, reviewing his actions and identifying what needed improvement and what he did well.
He then examined the rewards he gained from the MO Bei Trio.
A top-tier Martial Studies skill, three Martial Classics in sword, saber and axe techniques, seven middle-tier Martial Studies skills, and almost a hundred thousand taels worth of silver banknotes.
The reason why there was only one top-tier Martial Studies skill was because the MO Bei Trio had practiced the same skill, a skill that was arcane and obscure, with extremely demanding cultivation prerequisites.
The “Three Ultimate Heart Sutras” was created by a martial arts eccentric proficient in the Buddha Way, Demon Way, and Tao Way. Ideally, it should be an unparalleled skill.
Regrettably, in the hands of the MO Bei Trio, this great skill was wasted. They were limited in their talents in Martial Arts and unfamiliar with the Buddhist scriptures. Their impatience to succeed led them to abandon the tranquility and simplicity inherent in the skill, their hasty pursuit of quick success caused the insight within this skill to be lost.
The “Sword Skill”, “Saber Skill”, and “Axe Skills” accompanying the skill are among the lowest ranked high-tier Martial Studies. However, according to the teachings in the skill, if one were to master all three as one, they would be able to cultivate the unique skill: Triple Ultimate Unification.contemporary romance
[Refining the “Three Ultimate Heart Sutras” (including the supporting martial arts) will grant 46,000 Taoyun points.]
Pei Xuanjing held the skill in his hands, and after circulating his True Qi, a corresponding prompt appeared on the simulator.
“It seems that this skill is highly regarded.” Pei Xuanjing thought to himself.
Early the next morning, after Pei Xuanjing finished his practice, he left his room and saw Pang Hong approaching.
“Master, the dean is here.”
Pei Xuanjing nodded, not seeming surprised by the arrival of vice-dean Qingyang Zi, but he quickened his pace slightly.
Walking quickly to the hall, Pei Xuanjing greeted with a smile, “I apologize for not welcoming you personally, Dean.”
Qingyang Zi put down the teacup in his hand, revealing a concerned expression, “Longevity, I heard that you were attacked last night. I came to check on you, were you injured?”
Ever since the two of them made a deal, their relationship significantly deepened, and Qingyang Zi dropped his official title when addressing Pei Xuanjing, using his Taoist name instead to indicate their relationship.
Last night, Qingyang Zi heard that Pei Xuanjing was attacked, but he was in the Palace City, unable to leave due to the gates being locked. Hence he arrived at the Martial Academy early this morning to check on Pei Xuanjing.
Regardless of their personal relationship, even as the vice-dean of the Martial Academy, he couldn’t ignore this incident and pretend nothing happened.
Pei Xuanjing gave a fist salute and thanked him, “Thank you for your concern, Dean. It was just some insignificant bugs. ”
Seeing Pei Xuanjing’s confidence, Qingyang Zi didn’t probe further and said: “Longevity, rest assured. I will take care of this issue. Those who dare to attempt to assassinate you, they are not only targeting you, but also slapping my face, disregarding our whole Martial Academy.”
The old Daoist expressed his viewpoint and position to Pei Xuanjing, indicating that they were on the same side and that he would support Pei Xuanjing.
Although the old Daoist did not hold a major official position, he held a distinguished status.
He was the Martial Arts teacher of the current emperor, was deeply trusted by the emperor, and his teacher was the Sect Leader of Taihe Mountain True Martial Sect. He himself was also a Second-Class Martial Artist.
Mainly because of this, he sat as the Vice-Dean of the Martial Academy and was qualified to undertake the compilation of the ‘Martial Classics’.
Another person, even if they had the skills, would still not be qualified.
Now that Pei Xuanjing was under attack, it was a direct challenge for him, something the old Daoist couldn’t tolerate.
After understanding the old Daoist’s intentions, Pei Xuanjing could only thank him again, “Thank you, Dean.”
Qingyang Zi waved his hand and asked, “1 heard that you encountered Fu Changge last night? He also said that ne would come to ask you about the case today!”
“Yes, God Catcher Fu said he was here to chase after the MO Bei Trio.” Pei Xuanjing replied. “He said he would come over today.”
Qingyang Zi scoffed, “Humph, the Six Gates people can’t even catch a few thieves, and now they are dead at the hands of our Martial Academy, they are not ashamed but also want to swagger around our Martial Academy. ”
He said to Pei Xuanjing, “Alright, you don’t have to deal with the Six Gates. I will take a trip to the Six Gates and see if their head, Wu Fa, has closed himself off until he became a fool.”
Pei Xuanjing nodded, not commenting.
The Wu Fa that Qingyang Zi mentioned is the head of the Six Gates.
He climbed up from an ordinary Capturer position and gradually reached the position of the head of Six Gates. His fame is wide and he has captured countless bandits and criminals.
Not only that, a few years ago he stepped into the First-grade Martial Artist realm. But because the Six Gates has not yet found a successor, he still retains his position.
However, it is heard that all matters of Six Gates have been handed over to the Gold Badge Capturers and the Four Great God Catchers. He has been practicing in seclusion and no longer concerns himself with these matters.
Under normal circumstances, Qingyang Zi, as a Second-grade Martial Artist, would not be qualified to speak this way. Not even the Emperor or Taihe Mountain at his back would allow it. However, due to the two being extremely close friends in the past, he spoke this way..
