Chapter 775 Recognition
A Huaxia elder in a white robe sat in his study, eyes closed, a single hot tear sliding down from the corner of his eye, trickling slowly down his withered cheek. On the desk in front of him was a laptop, displaying the battle between Fang Tangjing and the Qingxuan Sect Master. Although the footage was quite blurry,
one thing was certain; Fang Tangjing had indeed demonstrated strength beyond the Emperor Realm.
"My path is not alone!"
The elder's whole body trembled with excitement, "I have pursued Martial Arts my entire life. When the people from Heaven Gate appeared, the Martial Arts World was in decline, which shook my Martial Arts heart that I had upheld for decades. Now I realize that Martial Arts truly has no limits!"
This elder was but one example, as many in the Martial Arts World shared his sentiments.
The cultivators from Heaven Gate emerged, skilled in various magics, seamlessly blending Martial Arts with magic, even possessing Magic Treasures and demonstrating immense strength. In their presence, Martial Artists appeared like mere children, unable to withstand a single blow.
This nearly caused many who had practiced martial arts since childhood to lose their faith in pursuing Martial Arts. Yet today, Fang Tangjing's appearance suddenly solidified their belief in Martial Arts.
"Chairman Fang is still alive! He's not dead!"
In the Martial Arts Forum, typically quiet old users also came out, their tones brimming with excitement.
Some, unsure of what was happening, asked, "Who exactly is Chairman Fang?"
"A legend of the Huaxia Martial Arts World, this Martial Arts Forum was his creation," someone explained.
Everyone immediately understood—the boss behind the Martial Arts Forum was none other than Fang Tangjing, who had also organized the Qingyun List.
With Fang Tangjing's Divine Force cultivation, his arrangement of the Qingyun List naturally commanded universal respect.
Inside the Huo Family Mansion, girls like Huo Yongshi, Qi Wan, and Gai Shu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the Qingxuan Sect Master leave.
"Where did Lin Mo go?" Huo Yongshi bit her thin lip, looking in the direction where Lin Mo had disappeared.
It wasn't just her; Qi Wan, Gai Shu, and several daughters of major families all looked in the direction Lin Mo had vanished, their eyes sparkling with fascination. There wasn't a single beauty in the world who wouldn't admire a hero, and Lin Mo was just that hero.
But shortly after Lin Mo and Fang Tangjing vanished, people from the Security Bureau also arrived.
Director Lou, Deputy Director Liu, and Vice Director Hua, along with others from the Security Bureau, arrived at the scene, and when they saw the signs of battle on Red Leaf Mountain, they froze in place.
If one had not witnessed it with their own eyes, they would likely never believe that such destruction was man-made; an entire peak of the mountain had been flattened.
To achieve such destructive power, at least five super-battles would have been required to cause such astonishing damage.
"Was all this caused by the battle between Lin Mo and the Heaven Gate people?" Deputy Director Liu incredulously opened his mouth.
"How could human strength be so powerful?" Vice Director Hua said, frowning.
However, after watching videos recorded by onlookers and seeing the photographs, they finally accepted this reality.
"It seems we underestimated Lin Mo," Deputy Director Liu said with a light sigh.
However, shortly afterward, the Security Bureau confiscated everyone's mobile phones and had everyone sign a nondisclosure agreement, forbidding them from leaking any of today's events.
Since there were so many people who came to the Huo Family Mansion today, including some high-ranking individuals, the Security Bureau could not use superpower users with spiritual power to erase everyone's memories. They could only resort to this method, temporarily blocking the news. Otherwise, if the word got out, it would certainly shock the entire Huaxia.
Above the sky of Ancient Capital, two streaks of light flashed by and soon landed in a courtyard on the outskirts. The courtyard was not very big and was planted with some flowers and plants, resembling an ordinary rural household.
The two streaks of light flew from the distant sky and landed in the small courtyard.
Lin Mo's divine sense swept over the place and found no one in the courtyard. He asked curiously, "Senior, do you live here by yourself?"
"Yeah, had a fight with the wife and came out here for some peace and quiet," Fang Tangjing responded lazily while digging in his ear, sighing, "Let me tell you, having too many wives isn't comfortable either. The constant nagging can drive you to death."
"Alright."
Lin Mo gave an awkward smile.
Then, the two of them sat down on wooden chairs in the yard. Fang Tangjing said, "I'm not some old man; you don't need to keep calling me 'senior.' Just 'Chairman Fang' will do."
"Okay, Chairman Fang," Lin Mo replied with a smile, genuinely curious about the middle-aged man in front of him.
In the Huaxia Martial Arts World, Fang Tangjing achieving Divine Force was truly a miracle, especially given the scarce spiritual energy on Earth.
Fang Tangjing said, "I created the Martial Arts Forum. I've noticed you two years ago, but I never expected your progress to greatly exceed my imagination. It's freakish."
"It's not too bad," Lin Mo said indifferently.
Fang Tangjing looked at Lin Mo intently and said, "I saved your life, how do you plan to repay me?"
Hearing Fang Tangjing's words, Lin Mo was actually relieved, as the thing he feared most in life was being in someone's debt. He had felt awkward about asking such a question, not wanting Fang Tangjing to think he was 'insensible.'
Lin Mo said, "Chairman Fang, I won't hide it from you. I have some elixir recipes and martial arts skills. If you're interested, I can give them to you as a way of expressing my gratitude."
"Elixir recipes? I'm not too interested in those. Show me the martial arts skills you mentioned," Fang Tangjing said leisurely.
Lin Mo formed a spell with his hands, and a 'screen' appeared in the void in front of them, displaying the True Martial Arts that Lin Mo had collected.
When Fang Tangjing saw the cultivation techniques displayed by Lin Mo, he first frowned slightly, then his expression froze, staring at the skills in front of him as if a lecher seeing an extremely beautiful woman.
"If you like them, senior, I can give them all to you," Lin Mo offered.
But unexpectedly, Fang Tangjing's gaze withdrew, and the previously greedy look in his eyes suddenly became extremely clear, as tranquil as a still well.
Lin Mo showed a surprised expression on his face, looking at Fang Tangjing, he had never seen someone behave like this—greedy one moment, and then as clear and pure as sweet spring water in the next.
Fang Tangjing suddenly stared at Lin Mo as sharp as a bolt of lightning and said, "Lin Mo, oh Lin Mo, you really aren't an ordinary person. If I'm not wrong, you're not from this planet, are you?"
Lin Mo furrowed his brows and said with a smile, "Chairman Fang, if I'm not an Earth person, am I an alien?"
Fang Tangjing didn't speak but stood up, with his hands clasped behind his back, looking up at the starry sky, and murmured, "The vastness of the universe is beyond anyone's imagination. Even after humans have spent decades investing countless manpower and resources, they have only seen a tiny part of the universe. I believe there are many more forms of life out there in the cosmos."
