Martial Saint!

During this time, the schedule for public classes at the Flying Swallow Martial Arts Hall had been adjusted.

From evening to morning, the hall would close before dark, primarily to avoid incidents like what happened to Du, as it was inevitable when students stayed too late at the academy.

This inevitably conflicted with the students' online classes. Hence, everywhere in the hall, students could be seen multitasking between attending online courses and practicing boxing, a true embodiment of both intellectual and martial prowess!

Lu Chenzhou, however, did not multitask.

When it was time for classes, he would listen attentively. During breaks, he seized every opportunity to practice boxing or spar with Du, making the most of every moment.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Ji Xuantong appeared in the training area.

Previously, everyone only knew that the Master was formidable, but they lacked a concrete idea of his prowess.

After the incident, they heard from Du that the Master with one palm could indent a lamppost, crack the pavement, and leap thirty feet, astonishing performances that were truly breathtaking.

Ji Xuantong, with his hands behind his back, said,

"Responding to the national call, the Martial Arts Hall will soon initiate some preventative drills and knowledge dissemination about Void Things. Please do your best to cooperate with us in the upcoming period.

There's no need to panic, as the recent thorough citywide inspection is mostly complete, with many Void Things eliminated. The students and teachers from the Pingjiang Martial Arts University have also participated in the Hunting Void operations. There are certainly a few that slipped through, but as long as one avoids secluded and dark places, there's generally no problem.

Ordinary, weak Void Things only dare to target individuals who are alone. In crowded places, the Qi-Blood forms a radiating cluster which generates what the ancients called 'human energy.'

Ordinary Void Things will instinctively avoid it.

Moreover, the emergence of Void Things is not without patterns; human negative emotions have a great allure to lower-level Void Things... rage, fear, resentment, greed, jealousy, lust, deep sorrow, etc. During special times, try to maintain emotional stability."

Du felt there was reason in these words.

That day, his emotions had not been stable.

In this regard, Lu Chenzhou did exceptionally well.

Having known him for a long time, he had never seen him overly joyous or sorrowful. He was so calm that he seemed unrelated to the rest of the world.

For such a person, ordinary Void Things had no chance to invade.

Ji Xuantong enlightened everyone with substantial knowledge about Void Things, which, in fact, was all available on the official website of the Void Control Department. However, due to the low frequency of Virtual Disasters, many people did not take it seriously, thinking it wouldn't happen to them, similar to fire drills.

Humanity always realizes the seriousness of a situation only after an incident occurs.

After finishing, Ji Xuantong allowed everyone to ask questions freely. Most people asked about how to escape if they encountered Void Things, but Lu Chenzhou suddenly asked,

"Master, as you mentioned, those weak Void Things are troublesome because entry-level martial artists like us cannot touch them, so is there no way for us to make contact and inflict real damage? With such advanced technology, it surely can't all depend on Martial Artists to destroy Void Things..."

Others looked at Lu Chenzhou.

So the Master had just been imparting knowledge for nothing.

Buddy, just run to a crowded place if you encounter Void Things.

You aren't thinking about counter-killing them, are you?

Ji Xuantong stared at Lu Chenzhou, pondering for a moment before saying,

"Firstly, if you are not yet a Martial Artist, the best strategy upon encountering Void Things is to run, which is indisputable! Of course, I understand your concerns, Chenzhou, as sometimes it's not possible to just run; sometimes you must resist.

In such situations, you must first burst out your Qi-Blood, ensuring your Essence is at its peak, especially your aura! This might sound mystical, but everyone inherently possesses an invisible field of energy or magnetic field power. If your aura is strong enough, this power might scare away instinct-driven weak Void Things.

Whether it's Power or True Qi, the ability to handle Void Things is also related to this power. The gap between ordinary people and Martial Artists is that this energy is too weak to form an effective strategy, so one must try to explode with aura.

That night, Du did well.

He burst out with a strong aura under stress, overcoming his fear and thus delaying the speed at which the Void Thing invaded, successfully waiting for my rescue."

At this point, everyone looked at Du.

"Awesome, bro!"

"Well deserved, Brother Du."

Du, slightly embarrassed, smiled and said,

"I just remembered how when I was a kid and scared walking at night, I would yell a few times. I always felt like that could scare off any demons and ghosts behind me."

Ji Xuantong smiled and said,

"You're right, bolstering one's spirit through roaring is a human instinct. Why do some Martial Artists like to shout or yell out their Martial Arts moves when fighting or killing? It's not just being 'Chuunibyou' or showing off, there's good reason for it.

Doing so can not only intimidate the enemy's mind but also enhance one's own spirit, focus attention, and help you reach your peak state quickly. For the Void Things we can't physically touch, it naturally has a certain restraining effect. Of course, all these are supplementary, and once there's a chance, one should escape immediately, never try to overdo it!"

Everyone all of a sudden understood.

Qin Zheng looked at Lu Chenzhou with pride and laughed,

"Ha ha ha, I am a genius, I knew reciting moves was useful! Chenzhou still thinks I'm being Chuunibyou, little does he know that there's deep significance to my actions…"

Ji Xuantong glanced at him.

"What I'm talking about are just methods to delay the speed of Void Things invading you, regarding Chenzhou's question about technological methods against Void Things, there actually are…"

Saying this, he turned around and returned to the Martial Arts Room, pulling out a broad sword.

It was about four feet long, resplendent with divine light!

Du called out,

"That night, the Master used this sword to hunt Void, it was so cool! He struck the Void Thing so hard it tumbled away in a sorry state, could this also be a high-tech weapon?"

Ji Xuantong drew the sword from its sheath.

The blade glimmered with a ghostly blue light, shifting between brightness and dimness.

"This is my personal sword, 'Yan Yun,' crafted from advanced C9 alloy, capable of causing certain damage to Void Things. This new type of cold weapon is a recent research achievement of the Void Control Department, possession of which requires legal qualifications, or it's a crime!

By the way, the official term for this kind of weapon is 'Void Blade.' Do you know why it's called that?" Ji Xuantong looked toward the crowd.

Du asked,

"Is it because it can slice through Void Things?"

Ji Xuantong smiled,

"That's one aspect. As I've told you before, to harm Void Things, besides Martial Artists, there's only one other thing that can do it."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.

"Void Things?"

Use magic to defeat magic, use Void Things to counter Void Things!

Ji Xuantong nodded.

"Correct, the blade material also incorporates substances extracted by scientists from the remnants of deceased Void Things. That is the core of why a Void Blade can confront Void Things!

Therefore, the production of Void Blades isn't extensive.

Even if it includes just a bit of material from Void Things, the Void Blade inevitably gets tainted with the psychic radiation fields inherent to Void Things. Martial Artists with strong will can basically ignore these radiations immune, but for ordinary people or entry-level martial artists with weaker willpower, prolonged possession… might contaminate their minds due to radiation!"

Hearing this, everyone felt somewhat hopeless, finding it extremely troublesome to combat Void Things. No wonder the nation expends such great costs to manage Virtual Disasters.

Personal strength against them is like trying to stop a vehicle with a mantis's arm. The mythical Void Realm, even more so, hangs over human civilization like the Sword of Damocles!

Lu Chenzhou still was a bit persistent.

"Master, how can one gain the qualification to possess a Void Blade?"

He wanted to wield this weapon that could harm Void Things.

To protect himself, to protect his parents.

Seeing Lu Chenzhou so determined, Ji Xuantong said,

"Once you have reached the Fourth Rank Cultivation and passed the Void Control Assessment in Su City, the rest is just saving up money, the cheapest of these things costs several hundred thousand."

Ji Xuantong was particularly fond of 'Yan Yun,' he wanted to pass it to Ji Feiyan as a hereditary treasure of the Ji Family, warming it through generations, possibly making it an Inheriting Divine Weapon.

At that time, the Ji Family would be a household of Divine Weapons!

Having witnessed the power of this sword, Du couldn't help but ask,

"If I may ask indiscreetly, Master, how much is this sword?"

Ji Xuantong sheathed the sword and turned to leave.

"My sword isn't expensive, it's just 10 million."
