I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

"Let\'s talk instead about the current threat of the Secret Martial Society to you."

Xue Jing stroked his chin: "After hearing so much from you, it feels like I\'m definitely going to die, isn\'t it?"

Wu Youqing shook her head: "First, listen to me."

"Since the Extreme Martial King chose to join the officials, underwent Longevity Surgery, and became an \'Impure Person\', the Secret Martial Society also transformed overnight, from a terrorist organization into a semi-official organization."

"But its purpose has never changed... The Extreme Martial King, feeling that he was impure, no longer had the right to lead the Secret Martial Society, and chose to step down."

"His successor, still inheriting his ideology, is still a pure Old Martial Arts organization targeting various external humanoid systems... It\'s just that now, because it has become a semi-official organization, it has become a lot more restrained compared to its former extreme state."

Xue Jing found it somewhat incredible: "Hm? Wait a minute."

"So, the Extreme Martial King is basically a former terrorist leader... With such a background, he was actually able to join the officials and even took charge of Cangting?"

"That\'s too preposterous."

Wu Youqing said with profound meaning: "Indeed preposterous... But it\'s precisely because it\'s preposterous that it illustrates how valuable the Extreme Martial King is."

"His strength is beyond normal reasoning... To this day, every Martial Artist who knows of his existence sees him as \'the true limit of humanity\', \'the endpoint of martial arts\', modeling their lifelong goals after this embodiment of \'the Way\'."

"He is the real ceiling of human individual combat power at present."

Xue Jing\'s pupils contracted: "How high... is the ceiling for Old Martial Arts?"

Since he began Martial Arts practice, everyone he met was disdainful of Old Martial Arts, treated it as loathsome as vermin, all advising him not to practice it, as there was no future in it.

But now, someone finally told him, Old Martial Arts is formidable, and there was a person who practiced only Old Martial Arts being called \'the ceiling of human individual combat power.\'

Although the path he himself was following was not essentially Old Martial Arts but rather developing Ban, he couldn\'t help feeling somewhat exhilarated.

"How high?"

Wu Youqing thought for a moment and said:

"He is currently one of the very few people in the world who can single-handedly subdue Super Organisms with a danger level above 10."

Super Organisms above level 10 in danger rating, such beings, are said to possess the power to destroy the world.

And yet, the Extreme Martial King could single-handedly conquer them...

That\'s incredibly powerful.

Xue Jing was full of doubts: "If the Extreme Martial King can reach such heights just by practicing Old Martial Arts, then why does it seem like Old Martial Arts have always been scorned?"

Wu Youqing smiled and said: "One reason is that the Extreme Martial King\'s name, due to his special past, is only known among a small group of people."

"Additionally... throughout the entire New Calendar, for nearly three hundred years, Old Martial Arts have produced only one Extreme Martial King."

"He is an exception among exceptions, with almost no value for reference. Not to mention finding anyone on par with him, you can\'t even find anyone who comes close."

Xue Jing nodded: "I see."

"Originally, you would have been just the type of talent that the Secret Martial Society likes."

Wu Youqing took a sip of tea.

"Once you made a name for yourself, showing your talent in reaching the current level in Old Martial Arts within a few months, and they discovered your background, they would immediately seek you out, absorb you into the Secret Martial Society, and cultivate you as the best successor to the Extreme Martial King."

"But now..."

Xue Jing: "..."

"If it were only that you were pretending to be a Chosen Blessed One, that would be one thing, but your martial arts talent is so high, and you\'ve become famous."

Wu Youqing spread her hands.

"In this case, there will certainly be some people in the Secret Martial Society with more extreme thoughts who think you have wasted your talent, tarnished humanity\'s glory, and so on, seeing you as a thorn in their side..."

Xue Jing scratched his head: "Why am I suddenly beset with this inexplicable trouble..."

Just then, his phone suddenly started vibrating and ringing.

Xue Jing picked it up and saw the caller ID said \'Chinese Teacher Du Shiwei.\'

It was his homeroom teacher.

"I\'ll take this call," Xue Jing said to Wu Youqing.

She nodded, gesturing for him to go ahead.

After hitting the answer button, Xue Jing said:

"Hello? Mr. Du."

Du Shiwei\'s voice came from the handset:

"Xue Jing... I heard from the students that they saw you coming to school, but why didn\'t I see you?"

Xue Jing laughed: "I\'m in the library, teacher."

Mr. Du paused, then chuckled awkwardly: "I see... well, good, it seems you are also working hard on your studies outside of class, very good, very good."

He paused, then continued, "The thing is, there\'s something I\'d like to discuss with you."

"Go ahead," Xue Jing said.

"I saw your match; you really made our school proud. Just yesterday, the principal told me that our school received praise from higher up for having such an excellent student as you!"

"And then?" Xue Jing asked, his curiosity piqued. "What else did they say?"

Mr. Du continued, "There\'s another matter. In just over a month, the \'martial arts examination\' will begin."

Martial Arts Examination.

It was held once a year, akin to the college entrance exam, but for martial arts students.

Students who had achieved success in their martial arts practice could enter their dream universities through the martial arts examination.

The government had numerous supportive policies for martial arts students, and the martial arts clubs of major universities in the Inner Ring were pivotal in earning honors for their institutions.

The regular college entrance exam took place in June, but the martial arts examination was in February.

Was Mr. Du suggesting that he take part in the martial arts examination?

Xue Jing smiled, about to decline; attending university now would just be a waste of his time.

At that moment, Mr. Du continued speaking:

"...After watching your spectacular performance in the competition, the authorities took notice of you and would like to hire you as an examiner for this martial arts examination."

Xue Jing was taken aback.

"Me? An examiner?"

From the other end of the line, Mr. Du said, "Yes, it\'s one of the traditions of the martial arts examination. Every year, they invite a group of young, talented martial artists to serve as examiners to inspire the candidates... "

"What do you say? Are you willing to go? I recommend that you do. It\'s an extraordinary addition to your resume and an honor that will smooth your path in the future..."

Mr. Du began persuading him.

After thinking for a moment, Xue Jing replied, "Let me consider it, Mr. Du."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Du persuaded him further, listing numerous benefits before hanging up the phone.

Xue Jing put away his phone and fell into deep thought before telling Youqing about the conversation he just had.

"Martial arts examination examiner?"

Youqing was initially startled, then her eyes showed surprise.

"Is it that much of a coincidence?"

Her expression then turned to one of realization as she murmured, "So that\'s how it is..."

Xue Jing asked with confusion, "What\'s the matter?"

Youqing tapped her fingers on the table and said, "Serendipity... I suggest you accept this task as an examiner."

Xue Jing\'s gaze narrowed slightly, "Explain."

"Do you know where the tradition of inviting young martial artists to serve as examiners originates?" Youqing asked with a smile.

Xue Jing shook his head.

Youqing explained, "The Extreme Martial King... It was when he first came into the limelight, becoming widely known as \'the youngest examiner in history.\'

"The martial arts examination he supervised saw a surge of martial arts talents emerge; it remains the highest quality examination to date."

An epiphany struck Xue Jing, "Are you suggesting...?"

Youqing nodded, looking thoughtful:

"The government is protecting you."

"Members of the Secret Martial Society include quite a few university martial arts students... They wouldn\'t want to offend the universities when recruiting new members."

"And every martial arts examination examiner gets registered as a guest lecturer at some university."

"...Moreover, you\'d be following the tradition set by the Extreme Martial King to become an examiner."

"It\'s customary to avoid offending the highly regarded... This way, if the Secret Martial Society takes action against you, it would be seen as disrespectful to the Extreme Martial King to some extent."

Youqing spoke admiringly:

"Truly a masterful move, nearly resolving a big problem for you without making a sound."

"It seems someone up high really favors you."

"Hmm, this saves me the trouble of worrying about you..."

The last sentence was nearly a whisper, unheard by Xue Jing.

He raised an eyebrow, puzzled, "Which big shot is helping me? Why? Because I\'m handsome?"

Youqing smiled thoughtfully and replied, "Perhaps it really is something like that."
