Enlightenment: Attaining the Dao at Age 8 - Chapter 367 - 188: Basic Martial Arts Truth Version 3.0
It was a quid pro quo, an exchange of benefits.
This way, the next time something like today’s events occurred, Hu Xiuyuan and the interest group behind him might be willing to go to greater lengths for him!
After they settled on a time for the next factory visit,
Hu Xiuyuan paused, then continued, “The review for the Martial Arts Foundation True Understanding 2.0 Version has reached the Human Alliance Headquarters. We’ve mostly reached a consensus, but someone is interfering. As for who it is… you can probably guess.”
“Of course, this matter has to be resolved eventually. I estimate that in half a month at most, your reward should be sent out. Just be patient!”
Clearly, Hu Xiuyuan had gone to a lot of trouble over this.
Li Chang’an smiled. “Don’t worry, Governor Hu. I’m not in a hurry, and there’s no need for you to be, either. If someone wants to hold it up, let them. We’ll see how long they can keep it up…”
As he spoke, he opened his Rebirth Mark and submitted another Cultivation Technique titled Martial Arts Foundation True Understanding 3.0 Version. He had prepared this technique long ago.
He just hadn’t found the right time to submit it until now.
Now, having just dealt a heavy blow to the Gu Family in the regional tournament and successfully drawn the eyes of tens of thousands—nearly a hundred thousand—Reincarnators, it was the perfect time to upload the Martial Arts Foundation True Understanding 3.0 Version!
The Gu Family wanted to deal with him.
But for now, he was on his own, and he had no desire to serve under anyone.
Therefore, to protect himself, besides gathering a larger interest group, he also had to seek political protection from the Hua Country Rebirth Association and the Human Alliance.
’And how was he supposed to get that?’
It was simple: submit an Evolution Path influential enough to affect all of humanity!
As long as the various versions of the True Understanding of Basic Martial Arts continued to benefit all of humanity, then no matter how arrogant and domineering the Gu Family became, or how much their actions went against humanity’s interests, they wouldn’t dare to openly target and make things difficult for Li Chang’an.
According to procedure, the Cultivation Technique submission still had to pass Su Ruobing’s review first.
And that was exactly what happened.
Upon discovering that Li Chang’an had uploaded a Cultivation Technique, Su Ruobing immediately opened the Evolution Path review section. When she saw it was the Martial Arts Foundation True Understanding 3.0 Version, she approved it without the slightest hesitation.
Hu Xiuyuan also received the Cultivation Technique soon after.
Unlike Su Ruobing, who was part of the Magic System, Hu Xiuyuan himself was a Martial Arts System Evolver. Therefore, his examination of the Martial Arts Foundation True Understanding 3.0 Version was far more meticulous.
When he discovered that the Martial Arts Foundation True Understanding 3.0 Version could allow an ordinary person to become a Tier Three Martial Artist, Hu Xiuyuan began to tremble.
He stared at Li Chang’an as if he were looking at some kind of monster.
In that brief moment, he could already imagine the immense impact this Cultivation Technique would have on the Reincarnator community once it was widely known.
After all, many Reincarnators only reached the level of a Tier Three or Tier Four Martial Artist after several reincarnations.
But now, once Li Chang’an’s Cultivation Technique was made public, ordinary people would have a chance to become Tier Three or Four Martial Artists. This hope was incredibly slim, with perhaps not even one success in a thousand or even ten thousand people.
But the difference between having hope and having none was night and day.
Before the True Understanding of Basic Martial Arts appeared,
ordinary people were just ordinary people, and Reincarnators were Reincarnators. A thick barrier separated them, a barrier that signified two completely different paths in life.
Failing the trial at eighteen meant that most people would spend the rest of their lives living in the shadow of that failure, unable to find any hope.
However, with the arrival of the Martial Arts Foundation True Understanding 1.0 Version, that once-impenetrable barrier between ordinary people and Reincarnators began to show cracks.
Even if ordinary people failed to reincarnate,
they could now become a Martial Artist through their own diligence and hard work, relying on the Martial Arts Foundation True Understanding 1.0 Version.
Of course, that wasn’t even the most important part.
What was most important was that with the release and popularization of the Martial Arts Foundation True Understanding 2.0 Version and 3.0 Version, this trend wasn’t just continuing—it was accelerating, further closing the gap between ordinary people and Reincarnators…
It was so unbelievable that if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, even Gu Ruilong and Su Ruobing would have found it hard to imagine.
After uploading the Cultivation Technique, Li Chang’an explained, “The Basic Martial Arts True Understanding 3.0 Version is still primarily aimed at ordinary people, but this is to enhance their ability to resist the Exotic Beast Tides!
“It would be pointless if they practiced the Cultivation Technique I created but still couldn’t defend the land they live on. So, I specifically raised the Martial Dao Evolution Path’s upper limit to Tier Three in the 3.0 version. I hope this will allow them to protect their homes and their lands with their own two hands!”
’Why does that sound so familiar?’
’When you rolled out the Basic Martial Arts True Understanding 2.0 Version, didn’t you use the same excuse?’
Su Ruobing and Hu Xiuyuan glanced at each other, momentarily at a loss for words.
They weren’t sure what to say to express what they were feeling.
Li Chang’an paused, ignoring their silence, and continued with a smile, “Even for ordinary people with average aptitude, as long as they are willing to persevere and practice diligently… forget breaking through to Tier Three, but their chances of becoming a Tier One or even a Tier Two Martial Artist should increase dramatically!
“This way, even if another massive Exotic Beast Tide like the last one breaks out, ordinary people who have cultivated the Basic Martial Arts True Understanding 3.0 Version can at least play a part!”
