Urban Most Awesome Dad

Without dedicated and solitary effort, how can one speak of using them effortlessly?

And Xu Fan’s demonstration of the martial arts techniques was certainly not at an introductory level, nor was it merely at an intermediate level—he was definitely at the point of pure refinement.

In terms of insight, Xu Fan could be said to have his own league, completely outdistancing those monstrous geniuses of the Ancient Martial World.

“My worthy nephew, may I ask, how long have you been practicing them?”

Li Fuqiang’s heart was pounding, feeling wholly inadequate compared to Xu Fan, and as he asked this question, his heart was lodged in his throat, almost afraid to hear another jaw-dropping answer.

Xu Fan looked at the five people with their tense expressions, finding that acting was truly exhausting—it hadn’t worn him out, but it had certainly tired the others.

With a reminiscent expression, he said, “I obtained these martial arts techniques last winter, and not long after, I began my cultivation.”

The crowd stared at him blankly, like wooden chickens.

It wasn’t that their reactions were slow, but they had been numbed by Xu Fan’s actions to the point where they forgot to be shocked.

Although their expressions were wooden, their minds were quickly calculating.

If he started his cultivation last winter, it’s been at most nine months, and yet he has mastered three Superior Martial Skills.

In other words, Xu Fan mastered one every three months.

If this isn’t cheating, then what is?

Damn?

Cultivation as easy as if he were playing around—anyone hearing this would feel upset, right?

Now, they no longer believed in the so-called ‘Practice a staff for a month, a saber for a year, and a spear for a lifetime.’

Li Fuqiang couldn’t help but recall the memories of his own training in Fierce Prison Heavenly Gang…

Indeed, he threw himself entirely into the task, day and night, unshaven and unkempt, becoming a real workaholic, his eyes red with bloodshot.

It could be said that it was with one hundred percent diligence and ninety-nine percent talent that he was barely able to use it after half a year—it was like a rookie who had just gotten their driver’s license, bumping and stumbling while driving on the road during the probation period.

It wasn’t until several years later that he had some insights and could use it proficiently.

Li Fuqiang considered himself quite fast already.

In the Ancient Martial World, where people with average talent were the majority, it could take them many years or even a decade to master just an inferior martial arts technique.

Compared with Xu Fan, he was put directly at Xu Fan’s ankles, which left him shocked and somewhat desperate.

It could only be said that they were people from two different worlds—he was in a three-dimensional world, while Xu Fan had already reached a four-dimensional one.

Noticing the looks of the people around him, Xu Fan realized that even though he tried to keep a low profile, it was still overstated.

It seemed that he still had to work hard on being low-key; otherwise, sooner or later he’d become a “scientific research subject” due to drawing too much attention.

He shook his head and walked towards his car. Two minutes later, he returned to the Heart of Heaven Pavilion holding six notebooks and handed them to Li Fuqiang: “They’re all for Uncle Li.”

Li Fuqiang took a deep breath, his hands trembling slightly as if he was not receiving notebooks but rather a national treasure—the Imperial Jade Seal.

Xu Fan introduced, “The three martial arts techniques I demonstrated are Qi Condensation Wings, Sword Control Finger, and Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill. The remaining three are Arrow Flower Dart Leaf, Crimson Flame Battle Technique, and Azure Ocean Ninefold Roar.”

Li Fuqiang hurriedly started to check them…

These six notebooks each recorded a Superior Martial Skill, with illustrative diagrams, in great detail. The first three even included some of Xu Fan’s cultivation experiences.

Such dedication!

“Qi Condensation Wings. A flight-type auxiliary martial arts technique. Refine True Qi into wings, which allows for flight, with distance and duration depending on the level of cultivation… It can enhance the user’s speed and agility in the air.”

“Sword Control Finger. A super-strong attack martial arts technique. It has explosive point attack power, piercing through surfaces. Sharp and violent, it is a kill shot, a killer move. However, it requires strong control of True Qi, and the more the True Qi attributes are toward the ultimate hardness and yang, the greater the power.”

“Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill. The strongest defense martial arts technique. Impenetrable by blades and spears, immune to all poisons, nothing can destroy it—only Vajra is indestructible. It also grants various buff effects, greatly enhancing close combat capabilities. Once used, one stands in an invincible position.”

“Arrow Flower Dart Leaf. An assisting long-range attack martial arts technique. Whether it be petals or falling leaves, they can injure others across the air. Their trajectory is hard to track, their power unpredictable. If mastered, it can cut down a person a kilometer away without being detected.”

“Crimson Flame Battle Technique. An area-attack martial arts technique. When used, it erupts like a volcano, with crimson flames filling the sky, burning everything in sight, causing widespread destruction. If an ordinary person touches these flames, it is like touching poisonous fire, attacking the heart, burning veins, destroying meridians, burning points…”

“Azure Ocean Ninefold Roar. A persistent attack martial arts technique. The offensive is relentless, each layer stronger than the last, with power that keeps stacking. If cultivated to the ninth layer, bringing down a hundred-meter-tall building with one punch would be no problem.”

Li Fuqiang examined them… his eyes grew brighter, and he kept exclaiming, “Good! So good! Wow, so powerful! Haha, we’re in luck now…”

In the end, he lifted his gaze, smiling at Xu Fan, and summarized, “Indeed, they are all of Superior grade. According to my estimate, Arrow Flower Dart Leaf is of the Seventh Stage, Crimson Flame Battle Technique has reached the Eighth Stage, and Azure Ocean Ninefold Roar has stepped into the Ninth Stage.”

Therefore, among these six Superior Martial Skills, there are two Ninth Stage martial arts techniques: Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill and Azure Ocean Ninefold Roar.

I wonder what reaction the Dragon Head boss and the four Elders would have upon hearing this news, whether they would also be overjoyed, wishing to dance with excitement, laughing in their dreams with pig snorts.

Xu Fan nodded in agreement, “My assessment is roughly the same. However, Azure Ocean Ninefold Roar is an exception. The power of the first roar is comparable to a Fifth Stage martial arts technique; the third roar enters the Seventh Stage, the fourth is the mid-tier of the Seventh Stage, the fifth is the peak of the Seventh Stage. The sixth roar is comparable to an Eighth Stage technique, and so on. With the ninth roar, since the power keeps stacking, I estimate it would be more formidable than most Ninth Stage martial arts techniques.”

“I understand, it looks like its value needs to be raised even further,” he said.

Li Fuqiang clutched the six notebooks tightly, his heart pounding rapidly, both excited and nervous.

They must be quickly added to the Flame Dragon treasury!

“Naturally,” Xu Fan said with a smile.
