"Is this... the Ancient Martial Arts?" Su Yanjing ignored his roommate’s concerned look of "how did you forcibly log in?" and murmured to himself. He thought this Grand Uncle of his wasn’t that strong and was always lowering the bar, but now it seems... he was overthinking it.

The Su Family, the Qin Family, and the Gu Family are renowned military and political aristocratic families in the Xilena Star System. Upon closer comparison, there are some differences among them.

The Gu Family is a thoroughly military and political clan, with influence primarily in the Military Department. It’s a family where capable individuals emerge in large numbers, and almost every child with the surname Gu joins the military after graduation. Regardless of their rank, they dedicate their lives diligently, rarely earning extra money on the side.

The majority of the Qin Family’s power lies in the Military Department, but due to problems with offspring, which are quite vexing, their numbers are not robust. Although their status is high, their overall strength is relatively weak among the three families. However, because the Qin Family adheres to the principle of contributing to the Alliance even after retirement, they typically become professors who reside in Xilena, resulting in a robust network that could move one to tears.

Looking back several generations, the Su Family was almost identical to the Gu Family. However, at some point, a genetic mutation seems to have occurred, shifting part of their power from the Military Department to commerce and politics. As the balance among these three domains became more even, the Su Family’s treasury grew terrifyingly. Of course, the Su Family also knew to extend their claws to other star systems, successfully taking root in the Augustus Star System a century ago...

Su Lu did not grow up flourishing in the Su Family’s base—the Xilena Star System—due to this reason. It was also this reason that allowed him to meet a very skilled teacher in Ancient Martial Arts, become his disciple, and become an honorable Ancient Martial Inheritor.

Having grown up in Augustus, Su Yanjing didn’t know much about this Grand Uncle. He previously thought he was weak merely because his demeanor was truly bewildering, but at this very moment... he was utterly amazed, wasn’t he?

Facing the sudden shift in aura from jovial and weak to domineering and intense in his Grand Uncle Su Lu, Su Yanjing junior felt it was simply "a fresh rain after a long drought," instantly giving him the chills!

"Ancient Martial Arts?" K3, with keen ears, caught his murmurs and asked, a bit puzzled, "Does this world really have such a thing as Ancient Martial Arts?"

K3 had always thought that Ancient Martial Arts were made-up by novels. Although Princess Fusu’s recent publication of "Legend of the Condor Heroes" explained the meaning of Ancient Martial Arts and expressed sentiments like "A great hero serves the country and the people," which was contrary to ancient literature’s depiction in "Five Pests" that suggested "scholars disrupt the law with literature, and knights transgress by force," without having seen it in person, K3 was quite skeptical.

K3 can’t be blamed for not knowing this; it is entirely because the passing down of Ancient Martial Techniques is too restricted, with too few people involved, and the scope of the Human Alliance and interstellar range is too vast. Su Lu’s encounter was merely good luck, so K3’s ignorance is perfectly normal. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Yes, there is!" Su Yanjing stared intently at the competition screen, his mind racing with endless thoughts.

Getting this unexpected answer, K3 asked a rather dumb question, "So... does that mean the techniques depicted in Princess Fusu’s novels are real too? Like Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, Luoying Divine Palm, Nine Yin White Bone Claw, and so on?"

Good student K3 junior wondered internally: if the ancient people of the Earth era were really that amazing, that would be too frightening. Suddenly using something as overwhelmingly powerful as a Hotline Particle Cannon-like Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, who could withstand that?

Su Yanjing glanced at his roommate as if he were a fool, and under the eager gazes of K3, Xu Lei siblings, and Lucy, said in a tone unusually lofty, "You’re overthinking it..."

Princess Fusu is quite a unique presence on the current Internet, unrivalled and consistently stirring up bizarre situations.

Yesterday she wrote "Ancient Sword Legend: Where is the Sword Spirit and Heart Today," adapting a single-player game and then a TV series, also churning out a few theme songs; today she’s up to something like "Legend of the Condor Heroes," making the martial arts of the Earth era sound miraculous, with feats like traveling eight hundred miles a day seen as a crippled tortoise crawl by those grandmasters. This novel reportedly has a sequel, something like "The Return of the Condor Heroes"?

It’s not that Su Yanjing has anything against the ancient people of the Earth era, but these things are really so fantastical and not practical. At the very least, Su Yanjing has overheard his Grand Uncle holding his smart brain in frustration, saying Princess Fusu’s writings are too exaggerated, defaming Ancient Martial Techniques. After all, novels are for fun, and exaggeration is a form of description, isn’t it?
