Are We Practicing the Same Martial Way

[With every clank of striking iron, a sea demon's miserable shriek rang out.]

[Once in a team fight, the terror of the Heartsteel was even worse than the strictest father of a foreign race.]

[There were fifty-two sea demons.]

[With a martial artist's speed, completing two rounds of strikes in two minutes was a breeze.]

[After you stacked hundreds of layers of Heartsteel, your height directly broke through three meters, making you look even more bizarre than the demon race.]

["Bang!!"]

[Throwing a punch, the air exploded, and from over ten meters away, it blew right through a squishy little sea demon.]

[The residual force violently slammed into the sea behind it, triggering terrifying, sky-high waves!]

["Splash..."]

[The seawater and the sea demons' blood mixed together, dyeing the area red.]

[You slaughtered everyone in all directions by yourself, while this group of sea demons pissed their pants in terror, scurrying away with their heads in their hands and begging for mercy.]

[However, you had already entered a state of steel addiction.]

[Begging for mercy?]

[Can't hear it.]

[You clearly crashed into my fists yourselves!]

[And you're so squishy, shattering upon impact.]

[The Sacred Land disciples and Long Yang could only look up at you now.]

[They were already dumbfounded.]

["Junior Brother Chen... your martial arts are truly peerless in the world."]

["Why are you still calling him Junior Brother? It's Senior Brother Chen!"]

["What kind of cultivation method is Senior Brother Chen using? I've been in the Sacred Land for many years and consider myself knowledgeable, but I've never heard of it..."]

[With the battle won, you pulled up your three teammates who were slumped in the seawater one by one.]

["Senior brothers, please pull yourselves together. There are many sea demons, and they will definitely return. Next time, there will only be more of them, and they will be stronger.

I propose setting up a formation on the coast to defend against the enemy.

Additionally, mobilize the island residents to dig a large number of traps and tunnels behind the formation.

In case the formation is broken, we will wait for the sea demons to fall into the traps, and then we and the residents will shuttle through the tunnels to launch surprise attacks..."]

[As you explained the essence of tunnel warfare, the eyes of Long Yang and the other three were filled with admiration as they looked at you.]

[Especially Long Yang.]

[You had just saved him, while the other three Sacred Land disciples were purely tagging along and didn't get a single kill.]

[Long Yang wasn't someone who couldn't distinguish right from wrong. He was deeply grateful for your life-saving grace and wanted to temporarily thank you by giving you a life-saving item given to him by an elder in his clan.]

[You didn't accept it, because this life-saving item was useless to you in the Martial King Realm.]

[Seeing that you didn't accept it, the respect in Long Yang's eyes grew even deeper, to the point of being a bit excessive.]

["Junior Brother Chen is truly extraordinary. Back then, when you went to the Sacred Land single-handedly and remained unfazed while being mocked by tens of thousands, I could tell that your state of mind was at least above ours!"]

[You didn't know if it was because Long Yang's qi and blood were flowing backward due to his injuries, but why was he blushing like a teapot just from talking?]

[Then, associating it with this person's name, your sphincter suddenly tightened, and you quickly kept your distance from him.]

["Let's get down to business..."]

["Junior Brother Chen does things with single-minded devotion. I'm sure there will definitely be a place for you among the Holy Son candidates."]

["Let's split up and contact the local residents."]

["As a martial artist, Junior Brother Chen doesn't rely on his strength to be arrogant and knows how to mobilize ordinary people. This is truly a vision that our generation cannot reach."]

[This guy Long Yang looked down on you in various ways at the beginning.]

[Now he was flattering you in every possible way.]

[For the first time, you wished that your 'Network King' attribute wouldn't activate.]

[As you expected.]

[A few days later, the sea demons made a comeback.]

[This time, the scale was larger and their strength was greater, completely surrounding Eight Claws Island.]

["Damn humans!! Pay for my son's life! Today on Eight Claws Island, not even a chicken or dog will be spared, kill them all!!"]

[The leader of this group of sea demons was extremely angry.]

[Because among the sea demons you killed a few days ago, there was the leader's precious son.]

[They came aggressively, with ferocious faces and murderous auras.]

["Loose the arrows!!"]

[You, Long Yang, and the other three had already conscripted all the islanders and equipped them with bows, arrows, and weapons.]

[As soon as the sea demons landed on the island, they were trapped by the formation you had set up in advance.]

[At your command, the islanders fired a volley of arrows, taking out the weaklings among the sea demons first.]

[The sea demons were extremely savage and numerous, charging up from all directions of the island.]

[There were always some who stepped on the corpses in front of them and broke through the formation's obstacles.]

[Once the formation was broken, what awaited them were countless traps and maze-like tunnels dug day and night by all the islanders.]

[The life-and-death battle between the islanders and the sea demons officially began.]

[The five of you took the lead with your superb martial arts strength, killing the sea demons until they threw away their armor and fled toward the sea.]

["Where are you escaping to!"]

[You started again.]

[So far, any demon that had made an enemy of you had never escaped alive.]

[You initiated the team fight alone, madly stacking steel. Amidst the clanking sounds of striking iron, you once again transformed into a small giant.]

[You stepped with the Starry Sky Seven Gods Steps, appearing and disappearing unpredictably without a trace. Once you showed yourself, it was a deadly punch.]

[Seeing you slaughtering everyone in all directions, the sea demon leader coldly snorted.]

["I wondered who traveled all this way to this remote backwater to oppose me. So it's the Xiaoyao Sacred Land that likes to meddle in other people's business! Today, I'll make sure you come but never return!"]

[The leader shouted loudly, and the seawater around him instantly exploded, rushing into the sky.]

[He held a trident and stepped on the waves, moving swiftly. Every step he took caused giant waves to roll and splash.]

[This demon was ten meters long, resembling a humanoid goldfish that had gained sentience.]

[From the offensive he launched, it could be seen that his strength was definitely not to be underestimated!]

["It's the sea demon leader! He seems to have a cultivation base at the Spirit Condensation Realm!"]

["The demon race is naturally physically stronger than our race, we absolutely cannot fight him head-on!"]

["Junior Brother Chen, quickly enter the tunnel."]

[You seemed to hear someone calling you.]

[So you turned around and took a look.]

[Only to see a trident thrusting toward you.]

[Your rich combat experience made you defend and counterattack almost without reacting.]

[One punch shattered the trident.]

[Two punches shattered the sea demon leader's head.]

["Who called me?"]

[Long Yang, who still wanted to come and save you, was directly stunned on the spot upon seeing this scene.]

["Junior Brother Chen, are you really in the Golden Body Realm..."]

[You knew the recording stone had been recording everything, so you answered extremely seriously.]

["Of course, how would I dare to resort to deception in front of the Sacred Land."]

[Long Yang looked at the sea demon corpses scattered all around you, as well as the sea demon leader who died without even managing to land a complete move on you.]

["Are we even practicing the same martial arts..."]

[The sea demon disaster on Eight Claws Island was successfully resolved under your wise command.]

[Afterward, you didn't rush to leave, but chose to stay behind and, together with Long Yang and the other three, teach martial arts to the local residents.]

[Of course, what you taught were all low-tier and mid-tier cultivation methods.]

[Not teaching high-quality cultivation methods was certainly due to sectarian bias, but to be honest, even if you taught them, not everyone would be able to learn them.]

[It was also impossible for you, nor did you have the time, to dig out some geniuses and conduct one-on-one teaching.]

[Not only did you help Octopus Island solve its immediate crisis, but you also taught them how to fish so that they would have the means to protect themselves in the future.]

[The Recording Stone captured all of this.]

[You knew that clearing the stage was in the bag.]

[Before leaving, you quoted Captain Kiriyama's famous words to the islanders: "Octopus Island must be protected by the hands of you islanders yourselves!"]

(I thought of a joke. The meme has been around for a while, but I am certain I have never seen this specific joke anywhere before.)

Driving instructor: If a road has a speed limit of 80, and you drive at 120, what will happen?

Hefei driver: You will get overtaken.
