Martial Arts Genius with Proficiency System

Ta'an Technology Company, one of the largest conglomerates in the North Sea, had subsidiaries spanning various industries, making significant achievements from snacks to interstellar technology, with tens of thousands of branches on Ancestor Star. The wealth of the major colony stars was staggering.

Some people with good intentions had once calculated the total assets of Ta'an and reached a startling conclusion.

That was, starting from when you were born, winning a million lottery every day until you died at the age of eighty would roughly match Ta'an's income for one day.

Ninety-nine percent of the wealth on Ancestor Star was held in the hands of one percent of the people.

Compared to the high-profile consortium, the sect leader behind Ta'an Mansion was unusually low-key, never appearing in the public eye.

Some said the sect leader behind Ta'an was a high-ranking Federation official, while others said it was an alien race.

But no one would have thought that the sect leader of Ta'an was actually an elderly man who looked kind and benevolent.

At this moment, Tang Tiancheng lay on the top floor of Ta'an Mansion. His hair was all white, wearing a Tang suit, and his face looked kind. But the scar running through his left eye added an indescribable hostility to this kind old man.

"How are you adjusting at Tayue Martial Arts Hall?"

Before Tang Tiancheng stood a tall young man with proper features, especially his bright eyes.

"Our instructor's power was unfathomable, and I didn't dare view it with 'Bright Eyes.'"

The young man's name was Tang Yangwu, one of the seven students that Zhou Wuliang took under his wing on Ancestor Star.

"Hahaha, that's right to be cautious. You need to know that many strong ones have arrived from New Star. Before this opportunity, many people wanted a share, but there were only so many qualifications, and those who obtained them were all mighty figures."

"Your instructor, Zhou Wuliang, was one of the outstanding ones. He hailed from a mysterious Dao Field, holding a high position in the Federation."

"Although you were born with 'Bright Eyes' that could read people's aura, encountering such an existence as your instructor, you shouldn't view it casually. With your current Martial Arts Dao cultivation, you couldn't bear the anomaly you'd see; the best result would be that your pair of eyes would be ruined."

"Yangwu understood. I could become a student under such a mentor entirely because of grandpa's efforts."

Tang Yangwu spoke without the energy of a young man, instead appearing quite mature.

The old man looked at his grandson before him, squinting his eyes with satisfaction. This child not only had remarkable martial arts talent, building the Martial Arts Dao with Tier Three basic skill, but he also had a calm and steady disposition.

More importantly, he was born with bright eyes that could discern human aura, transforming it into an anomaly to judge the other person's character and strength, akin to having a 'mind-reading' ability.

This ability, combined with his disposition and innate talent, would allow him to go far in the future.

"Yangwu, as the eldest grandson of the Tang Family, a revolution was about to start. Ancestor Star was in turmoil, with the incompetent crawling on the ground and returning to dust, and the outstanding ones rising like waves and becoming radiant to illuminate the heavens.

Grandpa was getting old and couldn't hold on for a few more years." Tang Tiancheng said with a melancholic tone.

"The doctor said you were more robust than my body, so you shouldn't speak like this." Tang Yangwu walked to the old man's side, gently reassuring him.

"If my body was stronger than yours, then you wouldn't need to practice martial arts. With your body constitution, you'd be able to return and join me soon." The old man rolled his eyes at Tang Yangwu.

Tang Yangwu smiled awkwardly, scratching his head.

"Grandpa, why did the Federation decide to lift the martial arts restriction on Ancestor Star?"

According to Tang Yangwu, from the day martial arts began, the Federation issued a ban prohibiting anyone from spreading martial arts on a large scale on Ancestor Star, and martial artists were not allowed to display the extraordinary before the public.

This restriction was bizarre, and now that it suddenly got lifted, there was a hint of subtlety.

"There were certain things you shouldn't know now; you only need to remember that Ancestor Star was the greatest treasure land of the Federation!

Soon, everyone would practice martial arts, and the Federation would announce the privileged status of martial artists—a new era was about to arrive." The old man said ambiguously, then changed the subject.

"Let's not talk about this, how were your classmates?"

"One by one, they had prestigious backgrounds, with two of them coming from New Star. Although I hadn't heard of their families, their demeanor and basic skills were extraordinary."

"I reckoned they had significant backgrounds, and their martial arts aptitude was terrifying."

"Indeed, with Zhou Wuliang's identity, naturally New Star talents would want to catch the east wind."

"It seemed among your classmates, they had the highest aptitude, as they had engaged in various practice since young, using all kinds of supplements and great medicines..." Tang Tiancheng gently touched his beard.

But upon hearing these words, Tang Yangwu couldn't help frowning slightly.

He recalled the astonishing figure.

The monster whose Tier Seven basic skill couldn't activate his physical potential!!

"Grandpa, I had a classmate..." Tang Yangwu just wanted to tell grandpa the shocking scene he saw yesterday.

"He was higher than the heavens, taller than the earth..."

"What... what was I saying???" Tang Yangwu was perplexed, as he clearly wanted to tell his grandpa what he saw yesterday, but the words came out distorted.

Moreover, whenever he wanted to mention that event, he babbled incoherently.

As if something in the dark made it impossible for him to speak it out.

"Cognitive seal!" The old man immediately sat upright, recognizing Tang Yangwu's current situation.

It was a cognitive seal planted by someone with a strong heart and spirit, and once he tried to speak of certain things that shouldn't be mentioned, his self-awareness distorted, leading to babbling and misrecognition.

"It seems you witnessed something remarkable, which Elder Zhou didn't want others to know..." The old man's gaze flickered with uncertainty.

Tang Yangwu took out his phone, trying to type and describe the event, but he quickly gave up after pressing a few keys...

For what he typed was... Happy Sheep, Beautiful Sheep, Lazy Sheep...

"It was useless; while this seal was in effect, you couldn't spread the event in any form."

"It was a method used by a Great Divine Power User!" The old man said.

"There was no need to discuss the event further, simply say if there was anything notable." The elder, experienced, quickly devised a solution; although he knew how to break the cognitive seal, he opted not to, for breaking it would risk provoking Zhou Wuliang, which wasn't in his interest.

"Among my classmates, there was one named Su Tu, he..." Tang Yangwu babbled again, steadied himself for a long time before saying, "This one would be a ferocious dragon, traversing the heavens!!"

Tier Seven basic skill couldn't activate his physical potential; such an existence was rare in the Star River. Although the individual had just encountered Martial Arts Dao, with such talent, such anomaly, one couldn't judge by common sense.

Tang Yangwu firmly believed that Su Tu would soon stand out.

Not only because of Su Tu's extraordinary talents but also because... when he observed Su Tu with Bright Eyes that day, he saw a vast and boundless great sun...

"Alright, there was no need to continue; try to get on friendly terms with the person you mentioned. I'll have people investigate his background; if he needed any assistance, you could offer everything, as there was no relationship that couldn't be bound by interests."

"I trusted your judgment!" The old man instantly made a decision, knowing that Zhou Wuliang had planted a cognitive seal, and his grandson, who was secretly proud, would say such words.

The young man named Su Tu undoubtedly had extraordinary talents. No!! Extraordinary couldn't describe it. Perhaps he had the qualities of a star in martial arts!

"Did he build his foundation with Tier Six basic skill? Or... Tier Seven!!" The old man speculated inwardly.

"Good!" Tang Yangwu agreed, for he originally intended to befriend Su Tu. Even if they couldn't become close friends, they should at least be friends.

Among aristocratic children, although many were unlearned and lawless, there were also those like Tang Yangwu, knowing the proper attitude to adopt toward the right people.

Though a thousand-year family fortune might be enough to disregard most geniuses, before a true radiant sun, everything would yield unless one could extinguish the sun. But why offend when one could befriend?

Tang Yangwu had never understood how some aristocratic children would offend champions for no apparent reason.

However, just as he was thinking about it, his phone suddenly vibrated.

He opened the chat page and, upon seeing the message, his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

"Even if you couldn't form a deep bond with that person, you shouldn't easily offend." The old man was still speaking.

Yet Tang Yangwu picked up the phone, showing the chat interface to Tang Tiancheng, saying, "It seems, they were already offended..."

A person with a Black Cat avatar privately messaged Tang Yangwu and asked a question.

"Was your younger brother named Tang Long? Were there any misunderstandings between us?"
