"National Scholar Chen Zong, extremely talented. He has brought glory to the dynasty, set a new standard for the younger generation, and reached a new height in martial arts. He has been conferred the title of National Scholar."

"National Scholar Chen Zong, extremely talented. He has brought glory to the dynasty, set a new standard for the younger generation, and reached a new height in martial arts. He has been conferred the title of National Scholar."
…
National Scholar of the dynasty was the general term.
National Scholar was the lowest, and Great National Scholar was the next level.
National Scholar was one in ten thousand, and only those with great power could be the next level, Great National Scholar was the next level. Only those who had made great contributions to the dynasty were qualified to be conferred the title.
Once the imperial edict came out, the whole world was shocked.
"I remember that the last time someone was conferred the title of National Scholar was twenty years ago."
"He has been conferred the title of National Scholar at such a young age. Unparalleled in the world."
"I didn't expect …" After Ye Feifan received the news, his face was filled with astonishment. His heart was overwhelmed with shock. After that, he smiled bitterly.
National Scholar!
When he first saw Chen Zong, Chen Zong was only a three-star warrior, and could not resist his sword. When he saw Chen Zong for the second time, Chen Zong had already been conferred the title of National Scholar, and his combat power was even higher than his own. Now, when he saw Chen Zong for the third time, he heard the news about Chen Zong. Chen Zong had been conferred the title of National Scholar, and his combat power had reached the limit of six-star.
Adding up the time, it was less than half a year.
In half a year, he had done something that many people could not do in their lifetime. He had obtained the supreme glory, and all the other geniuses were overshadowed by him.
"All the geniuses in this era will be under his halo." Ye Feifan sighed. He did not feel jealous at all, only admiration.
When Qiu Honglie heard the news, he was so shocked that his face turned pale. From then on, he did not want to compete with Chen Zong anymore.
National Scholar!
It was a supreme honor!
The imperial edict was like the wind, sweeping through the capital at the fastest speed possible. It then spread to the three prefectures, and then to the entire county.
Those who knew Chen Zong were all stunned at first. They thought that they had misheard, or that it was someone with the same name.
However, the Marquis of Linshan was certain that it was Chen Zong. This was because he had already received Chen Zong's reply and learned that not only had Chen Zong become one with the sword, he had also successfully comprehended the truth.
It was possible for a Qi Refining realm martial artist to achieve enlightenment, but it was very difficult. Since ancient times, there had been very few who had succeeded.
Who would have thought that his disciple would really do it?
"Marquis, congratulations, congratulations." Yan Wei was all smiles.
Great State Knight! That was a great State Knight, ten times more powerful than a State Knight. Even though in the dynasty, the State Knight examination was extremely strict, normally, there would only be one every year, there would still be quite a number of them accumulated over time. Great State Knights, however, could be counted on one's fingers, only a few people. Apart from Chen Zong, the others all had great statuses or great strength.
The Marquis of Linshan's face was full of smiles. Accepting Chen Zong as his disciple was probably the proudest thing in his life. He could die without regrets.
"Do you want to celebrate?" The Marquis of Zhengyuan asked. His attitude toward Chen Zong had changed unconsciously. He seemed to treat Chen Zong as someone of the same level.
The so-called celebration naturally meant holding a banquet and inviting all parties to celebrate Chen Zong's conferment as a National Scholar.
"Martial Uncle, it's not necessary." Chen Zong said.
"As you wish." The Marquis of Zhengyuan secretly felt that it was a pity, but he did not make a decision on his own. He respected Chen Zong's choice.
Some people chased after fame and fortune, and some people were indifferent to it.
…
This was Chen Zong's second time entering the dynasty's arsenal.
After being conferred the title of National Scholar, his treatment naturally increased.
Originally, when he was a National Scholar, Chen Zong could enter the dynasty's arsenal and choose a peerless Earth Level martial art or technique. Now that he was a National Scholar, there was no such restriction. All the martial arts and techniques in the entire dynasty's arsenal were open to Chen Zong.
In addition, Chen Zong could receive five hundred spirit shells every month, which was five times more than before.
Five hundred spirit shells. That was a number that many warriors could only earn after years of hard work, even risking their lives. Yet, Chen Zong was able to obtain it so easily. Of course, if he didn't have enough talent, if he didn't defeat Nan Shuntian to redeem the reputation of the dynasty's genius, and if he didn't break the dynasty's Training Realm's limit and set a new record, Chen Zong wouldn't have been bestowed the title of Grand Warrior and received such great treatment.
There was no need to choose a martial art, and there was no need to spend time flipping through them. Chen Zong's focus was on sword arts.
The complete peerless Earth Level sword art was the Nine Luminaries Flash Dragon Sword Art, which he had already chosen. However, there were still a few incomplete peerless Earth Level sword arts and many peerless Earth Level upper level sword arts that could increase Chen Zong's foundation and accumulation in sword arts.
Flipping through them continuously, Chen Zong used his increasingly powerful memory to memorize them all. After flipping through more than one hundred sword arts that covered a wide range, he finally walked towards the section for secret arts.
These hundred sword arts were never seen before, and they were rarely circulated in the outside world. The mysteries contained within them were all different, and there were very few repetitions.
"The Energy Concentration Art is too weak, and its effect on refining my inner strength is almost negligible. I need a better secret art to refine my inner strength." Chen Zong thought to himself as he started to browse through the section for secret arts.
When it came to secret arts, the more, the better. Instead, it had to be suitable. Otherwise, it would only waste time and energy, delay progress, and even bring more serious burdens.
The Energy Concentration Art was also recorded here, and it was exactly the same as the one in the Mountain Overlook Courtyard.
"Dual Polarity Art …" Chen Zong took it down and flipped through it. After looking at the first page, he decided to choose this secret art to refine his inner strength.
Dual Polarity Art was supplemented by alternating between cold and hot to refine one's inner strength, removing impurities and making it purer.
Chen Zong continued to flip through the pages casually.
"Mixed Elements Impact. Forcibly increase the intensity of one's inner strength in an instant and explode with greater power." Chen Zong was deep in thought as he recalled the battle between Nan Shuntian and Ding Xuan. Ding Xuan seemed to have used some kind of secret art to forcibly increase his combat strength.
After careful comparison, the secret art that Ding Xuan used was similar to the description of the Mixed Elements Impact. Perhaps it was the Mixed Elements Impact.
"Not bad, I want the Mixed Elements Impact too," Chen Zong said to himself as he memorized the contents again.
After choosing the two secret arts, Chen Zong did not leave the Dynasty Armory. As a Grand National Warrior, he could stay here for a long time as long as he did not cause any damage.
In addition to a large number of cultivation methods, martial arts, and secret arts, the Dynasty Armory also contained the cultivation notes of many predecessors.
Chen Zong searched through them one by one and found the cultivation notes of the hundreds of sword techniques and martial arts that he had chosen. He read them carefully to increase his understanding. In addition, he also looked at some of the more general sword techniques and cultivation notes of inner strength.
With a strong memory, he could firmly remember the contents that he had read. He did not comprehend them in depth first, but instead accumulated them and slowly thought about them later.
After that, Chen Zong found the cultivation experience related to the Dual Polarity Strength Technique and the Mixed Element Impact and memorized the contents.
"Wuzhen Secret Record …"
It was a thin book, written on animal skin. It looked very smooth and had obviously been read many times.
Chen Zong flipped through it and read it carefully. The contents recorded were directly related to Wuzhen.
Some of the principles of Wuzhen and so on allowed Chen Zong to have a deeper understanding of the Realm of Wuzhen. Some of the applications of the Realm of Wuzhen also increased Chen Zong's horizons and accumulation.
"In the Realm of Wuzhen, you can borrow the power of heaven and earth. Through this, you can break through the Martial Arts Extreme Wall and comprehend the Profound of Martial Arts, maximizing the power of Wuzhen."
"Martial Arts Extreme Wall … Profound of Martial Arts …" Chen Zong pondered.
The description was short and not detailed, so he could only deduce and ponder on his own.
Suddenly, Chen Zong recalled the battle between him and Nan Shuntian. Under the immense pressure of Nan Shuntian's final killing move, he had gained an epiphany that allowed him to condense the Six Luminaries Flash Dragon Sword into a single dragon piercing the sky.
That feeling could not be described with words, but it also seemed to have broken through a limit, a limit that belonged to the Nine Luminaries Flash Dragon Sword. It allowed the power of Wuzhen to be fully unleashed, and the power of that sword broke through Chen Zong's combat power limit and reached the seven-star level.
"Could it be that this is the so-called breaking through the Martial Arts Extreme Wall and comprehending the Profound of Martial Arts?" Chen Zong thought to himself.
The more he thought about it, the more it seemed to be so. It seemed that he had a new goal, a direction to become stronger, but it required time and energy.
More and more, Chen Zong felt that he did not have enough time and energy. He wished that one day could become two or three days, or even longer.
"Time …" He shook his head lightly. This was not a place for meditation. He put the Wuzhen Secret Record back in its original place and turned to walk out of the arsenal.
When he came, it was early in the morning. When he left, it was already night and the sky was full of stars. Chen Zong stayed in the arsenal for an entire day.
Too many things were stuffed into his head, and he felt a bit bloated.
"I'll come back tomorrow to pick a pseudo spiritual weapon." Chen Zong thought to himself and walked out of the palace.
When Chen Zong was conferred the title of State Knight, he could enter the dynasty's arsenal and the dynasty's treasury to choose from. After becoming a State Knight, not only could he choose any cultivation method, martial arts, or secret technique, he could also enter the treasury and pick a pseudo spiritual weapon.
He walked out of the palace and headed straight to the Guan Mansion.
"Young Master Chen, you're back." The butler of the Guan Mansion saw Chen Zong and immediately stopped to greet him respectfully.
"Mhm." Chen Zong nodded. "Butler, please send more wine and meat to the Red Maple Garden."
After staying in the arsenal for an entire day, he had been using his brain and felt quite hungry.
"Yes, Young Master Chen. I'll do it right away." The butler was shocked.
Young Master Chen was a State Knight of the dynasty. In the entire Guan Mansion, no one had ever received such an honor. He had a bright future.
The butler, who was full of motivation, immediately ordered the kitchen to cook as fast as possible. Then, he personally carried two large plates of completely different demon beast meat and a large pot of wine to the Red Maple Garden.
"Young Master Chen, please enjoy." The butler bowed.
"Thank you." Chen Zong was a bit surprised that the butler personally delivered the food.
"It's my honor to work for Young Master Chen." The butler smiled.
Chen Zong did not say anything, but a thought flashed through his mind. If he had not been conferred the title of State Knight or even State Knight, the butler would not have acted like this.
