I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

Xue Jing waved his hand and spoke indifferently.

The reporter had wanted to say something more, but under Xue Jing's gaze, he involuntarily closed his mouth and fell silent.

Seeing this, a staff member pointed to another reporter and said,

"Please, a friend from the Qing City Evening News, it's your turn to speak."

Hearing the name of his hometown, Xue Jing paid a bit more attention to the reporter who was about to speak.

He was a young man of about twenty-five years of age.

He must have come specially from Qingcheng to interview him.

With a serious look in his eyes, he asked, "Competitor Xue Jing, what are your plans for the future? Do you intend to participate in any more competitions? If you qualify for the 'Title Fights' in the future, which title will be your first target?"

A true hometown supporter... his question was straightforward, but his underlying flattery was subtle.

He started by asking which title Xue Jing wanted in the future... implying Xue Jing was undoubtedly going to be a Titled Strongman.

Xue Jing smiled and said,

"After completing the U19, I've won the 'Youth Championship' and qualified for the 'Little Titles' competition. Unless something unexpected happens, the next time I appear, it will be at the 'Little Titles' competition. Other competitions no longer hold much significance for me."

Upon hearing this, the crowd nodded, as this answer was within everyone's expectations.

In Zhuxia, the progression of top-tier genius Martial Artists is similar.

They begin by winning championships at 'U19,' 'Small Dragon Gate Cup,' 'Young Kirin Assembly,' and other genius youth competitions to secure their qualification for the 'Little Titles' competition.

Without a youth championship, the criteria to participate in the 'Little Titles' competition are far more complex.

And the 'Little Titles' competition is the only path to the highest hall of the Old Martial Arts—the seven great titles.

Only by achieving enough good placements and accumulating sufficient points in the 'Little Titles' competition can one earn the right to participate in the Title Fights.

Like the seven great titles, the 'Little Titles' competition also consists of seven categories, each held on different days.

Accumulating enough points to qualify for the Title Fights is very difficult and sometimes even takes decades. Explore more at empire

But in the fastest cases, it takes less than a year... That is extremely demanding, almost impossible.

It must be a young contender under the age of thirty who, within a single year, consecutively wins the seven 'Little Titles' competitions.

This is tantamount to expecting a person under thirty to sweep through all Martial Artists below the Titled Strongmen in Zhuxia...

These conditions are extremely demanding.

And genius Martial Artists who achieve this are granted a special title with a status almost comparable to the seven great titles—'Champion'!

Those who earn the 'Champion' title have the privilege to participate directly in the seven great title fights, ignoring the point requirements.

"As for my first target title... Although it's still too early to discuss this, if I have to choose, I would pick 'True Dragon,'"

said Xue Jing with a smile.

The reporters present were somewhat surprised.

"Your first title, and you're not choosing 'Decade'?"

Many top Martial Artists have a collecting habit; generally, for their first Title Fight participation, they would choose the least difficult 'Decade' to secure it first and receive the honor of being a Titled Strongman before considering others.

To challenge a title as difficult as 'True Dragon' right from the start is indeed rare.

Especially since the current holder of 'True Dragon' is hailed as a freak of nature that appears once in a hundred years, an ever-victorious, almost eternal entity.

"Actually, it doesn't matter which one I choose first, as my goal isn't any specific title,"

continued Xue Jing.

"Any ambitious Martial Artist ultimately has only one goal."

He slowly enunciated a term:

"Eternal Seven Crowns!"

"That is my expectation for myself, hmm... I will try to achieve it within six years,"

said Xue Jing, having done some quick calculations, with a smile.

"Eternal Seven Crowns!? Within six years!?"

The many reporters present were struck speechless by Xue Jing's statement, their eyes wide with astonishment.

Though everyone knew Xue Jing was quite haughty, with every interview statement bordering on outrageous... no one expected him to be bold to this extent.

The concept of 'Eternal Seven Crowns' is simple.

As the name suggests, it means collecting all seven great titles of Old Martial Arts and achieving an 'eternal' ranking in each.

That is, each title must be won in five consecutive fights or accumulated ten victories in total.

In theory, the shortest timeframe to attain the 'Eternal Seven Crowns' status is five years.

And that is merely theoretical.

Since the advent of the seven major titles of Old Martial Arts, it's true that there have been several highly respected predecessors who have achieved the 'Eternal Seven Crowns,' but those were the results of cumulative efforts over the years. The fastest one among them also took more than twenty years to accomplish it!

Yet Xue Jing said he would do it within six years...

Take away the one year he needs to compete in the small title contests and earn the qualifications for title fights. That means he plans to achieve the 'Eternal Seven Crowns' within the shortest time frame of five years?

It's crazy, absolutely crazy...

This kind of statement can actually be made.

This is the Eternal Seven Crowns we're talking about, the true pinnacle of Old Martial Arts achievements!

There's no higher peak than this title!

Within six years... six years later, Xue Jing will be around twenty-three or just under twenty-four years old.

At such an age, he intends to stand at the very summit of Old Martial Arts?

This is no longer a matter of talent or genius.

Even if you are cheating, you'd still have to weigh whether your cheat is strong enough!

"This..."

The staff member of the U19 organizers was at a loss for words for a moment and hurriedly approached Xue Jing, whispering,

"Competitor Xue Jing... how about we cut that part out of the recording. "

"Otherwise, the impact might not be so good. "

Some of the reporters with sharp ears heard this and subconsciously protected their cameras... Such explosive statements, how high would the buzz be? What a pity it would be to cut it!

Some swift ones had started to remove the memory cards from their cameras and stuff them into their private places that were not easy to search...

Xue Jing waved his hand at the staff member, casually saying,

"It's fine, what's been said and water that's been poured can't be taken back. "

"If I fail to do what I've said, feel free to mock me. It's not a big deal. "

The staff member's forehead sweated, "This..."

He was in a difficult position, but since Xue Jing himself had said so, he could no longer stop him.

He could only sigh and say no more.

The reporters below instantly became excited.

They could no longer bother with observing the order of questions, and everyone began to speak eagerly,

"Competitor Xue Jing, does that mean you plan to compete in all the 'Small Title' contests next year, aiming straight for the special title of 'Champion'?"

"Competitor Xue Jing, is your decision to obtain the Eternal Seven Crowns within six years serious?"

"Competitor Xue Jing, there are rumors that 'Lu Baidi' and 'Wu Qiangsheng' who appeared in Yuan City previously were here for you. Is that true?"

"Competitor Xue Jing..."

...

After the interview, all the reporters hurriedly left, still with excitement lingering on their faces.

Xue Jing tapped the table, slowly stood up, and leisurely walked out of the interview room.

In his statement during this interview, he adhered to the same approach as before, saying whatever came to mind without feigning modesty.

Six years to achieve the Eternal Seven Crowns—this was his own estimation and plan for himself.

It was a conclusion he arrived at after serious contemplation, not a mindless boast to puff himself up.

As he developed his panel skills, the rate of his strength growth was snowballing, getting faster and faster.

The growth of his strength in the last month was several times that of the past three months.

Especially after his ordinary skills sublimated into Extraordinary Skills... Just the [True Martial] skill alone brought him endless benefits, greatly accelerating the improvement of his martial arts strength.

The more time passes, the more Divinity he gains and the higher his Extraordinary Skills level grows...

Obtaining the special title of 'Champion' and qualifying for the title fights in a year's time is not a fantasy.

And after another year, if he manages to win all seven major titles within that year... If he succeeds, the remaining four years he has to claim the 'Eternal' titles will be just waste time.

His growth rate is something no one else can keep up with.

If nobody can beat him this year, then for sure nobody can beat him next year either.

Obtaining the Eternal Seven Crowns in six years may seem impossible, but in fact, for him, there's quite a possibility to manipulate, the harder parts first, then easier.

"Let it be so. "

Thinking about these matters, Xue Jing left the interview room and walked toward the exit of the broadcast studio.
