Chapter 262: Martial Path Aura System (2)

Small hovercrafts formed different teams in the air and drove towards different areas like floating gray snakes.

After a good rest during the night, Zhou Jing came to an open square.

The first class of the day was regarding the Supers Knowledge course. The basic courses he had chosen were all filled with freshmen.

There were many people who chose this course because most of the Supers’ assistants strengthened their bodies with genetic potions. Martial arts was the path with the highest compatibility, thus this was the first choice for most assistants. As for which martial arts system they chose, it depended on their interest.

When Zhou Jing arrived at the square, there were already hundreds of new students here. After waiting for a while, Xu Lingyun and Zhang Xiao arrived. They had also chosen this class.

It was not until everyone arrived that the tutor appeared.

It was actually someone they were acquainted with, Wang Wu.

Wang Wu stood in front of all the students and glanced around. Seeing that everyone had fallen silent, he slowly spoke,

“Martial arts is a broad term that everyone is familiar with, but they might not necessarily have a deep understanding of it. Military boxing and grappling techniques can be considered martial arts, and releasing energy waves is also considered martial arts. Internal strength, true qi, astral force, martial arts aura, essence energy… There are all kinds of different systems, and different energy foundations are cultivated. All kinds of things are considered martial arts, so how do you define it?

Putting aside the various systems and theories, there are actually only two core definitions of the Martial Path. One is to explore the limits of one’s physique and refine all kinds of derived energy with one’s physique as the foundation. The other iss to study all kinds of combat techniques that use the body to unleash one’s physique more efficiently.

As long as these two definitions are met, it can be considered a martial path.”

All the students present perked up as they silently listened to Wang Wu.

Wang Wu paced around and examined everyone.

“As technology advances, the role of martial arts becomes smaller and smaller. In terms of lethality, it’s inferior to many technological weapons. In terms of comprehensiveness, it’s inferior to magic and secret techniques. In terms of richness, it’s inferior to superpowers. Even when it comes to moving bricks, we can’t compare to all kinds of engineering machinery…

We seem to only know how to destroy purely. Other than fighting, we can’t do anything else. In the old society, we could rely on force to hunt wild beasts and protect our families, but now that the world is peaceful, it’s illegal for us to fight anyone. In this era, there seems to be no place for martial arts.

So why are we still practicing martial arts? Because its meaning is not simple. It’s akin to exploring the limits of the human body… No matter how far technology has developed, as long as a person still has a physical body and needs to use it to maintain their life, the development of the body will never stop.

Everyone grew from a cell into a human body and was born from nothing. Your body underwent countless transformations before becoming what it is today. It carries your spirit, soul, will, and thoughts. It is the foundation of your existence in this world.”

“As for us, we can recognize this world through the feedback of our physical senses. It is like a keyhole, and we can see the world through it.

As technology developed, we developed all kinds of instruments and tools to pry into the laws of the world, but none of these could replace the physical body, because it’s your most basic tool and also the most precise instrument. No matter how much you probe through other instruments, it cannot compare to the “feeling” of the physical body. It contains wisdom that leads directly to the truth.

Martial arts are not reckless. It also involves research. Tempering the body is to widen the keyhole, increase our understanding, and let life sublimate to a new level. Step by step, we can see ourselves, all living beings, the world, space, and time… To this day, we still have not unlocked all the mysteries of the body, and this is the ultimate goal of martial arts.

And this will be the summary of our series of courses. Only by having a clear understanding of martial arts will we know what we are pursuing.”

Many students stirred and whispered to each other.

Some people’s eyes lit up when they heard this, while others disapproved and reacted differently.

Zhang Xiao muttered softly, “Why do I feel like I’m being tricked…”

Xu Lingyun, on the other hand, was quite excited, “His lecture was very good. He’s pursuing the limits of his body and increasing his senses to understand more natural laws. It’s reasonable.”

Zhou Jing scratched his head.

He was not moved by it. Although Wang Wu made it sound high and mighty, in his opinion, martial arts was only to temper the body into a weapon. Even if there was a great goal, the basic requirement was still to strengthen the body for combat and use various martial arts techniques to maximize the lethality of this weapon.

Wang Wu waited for more than ten seconds for everyone to digest before changing the topic.

“Of course, these are still very far away from you. It’s enough to just listen and have a concept. Moreover, no matter how far away your goal is, you have to achieve it step by step. Currently, what you have to do is to temper your bodies. You don’t have to think too much about it.

Those who signed up for my course are basically physical enhancement-type superhumans. While cultivating this martial arts ability, it is also a process of developing your own superpowers. It’s killing two birds with one stone.”

The course introduction was mainly to let the students have a positive view of martial arts. After Wang Wu finished speaking, he began to impart practical martial arts knowledge.

This course was a martial arts system summarized by the main world after summarizing many martial arts systems. It could be said to be the current mainstream of martial arts. The energy foundation of cultivation was an ability called the “Martial Path Aura”.

Through tempering the body, while increasing the strength of the body, the cells would also slowly produce energy, producing the Martial Path Auras and obtaining all kinds of magical effects.

According to Wang Wu’s simple explanation, Zhou Jing roughly knew that the main world’s accumulated martial system was roughly divided into three levels: low, medium, and high.

Although Wang Wu did not explain, Zhou Jing knew that many of the martial arts systems in the main world were actually obtained from other dimensions. Some of them were not at a high level, and the limit of strength one could obtain through cultivating it was limited.

As for the Martial Path Aura system, it was a high-level martial system summarized by the main world. Its destructive power, energy intensity, and growth limit were on average the highest.

In addition, because it was of a path of similar abilities, the source of its energy foundation was often the same thing, such as physique and spirit. Therefore, the energy produced had a certain similarity.

Therefore, in the various systems of similar abilities, there was the concept of “energy universality”. The feasibility, multiplier, loss rate, and so on of the energy base of the same system could be shared, and it was often converted from low-level energy to high-level energy.

As for the Martial Path Aura, not only was it a high-level system, but it was also the most versatile.

The efficiency of other martial arts energies, such as internal energy, true energy, and essence energy, was far lower than the efficiency of converting them into Martial Path Aura.

In other words, the Martial Path Aura could “contain” most low and mid-level martial arts… Therefore, the Martial Path Aura had become the mainstream route for martial artists in the main world.

The new students were all taking basic courses. Wang Wu naturally taught everyone the basic training methods of the Martial Path Aura. After that, other than the simple guidance in every class, the rest would depend on their own cultivation.

The master introduced the course, and cultivation depended on the person. Only when the person became proficient could he then learn the next course.

The initial cultivation method of the Martial Path Aura was nothing special as well. It was just a method to temper the body in a specific way, accompanied by breathing. To a certain extent, it could be called an “initial cultivation technique”.

However, this set of “Initial Cultivation Technique” did not have any fancy names. It was called the “Basic Tempering Technique”. All the new students practiced this.

However, although the name was simple, the content was quite rich. Since it could be used to teach all the students, it was most likely a product of the main world.

As for whether there were any more powerful “Initial Cultivation Techniques”, Zhou Jing was not sure. However, this was his first time coming into contact with martial arts cultivation, so he could not be too ambitious. He decided to properly understand and master the “Basic Tempering Technique” first.
