You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts

This time, none of the papermen launched an attack.

Ye Qingzhou and Xu Yuebing walked openly through the main gate, the second gate, the lecture hall, the Half-Study Hall, the Teaching Hall, the Hundred Springs Pavilion, the Imperial Library, and the Scripture Hall, unhindered all the way, bathed in the resonant sound of reading, straight to the front of the Confucius Temple.

Inside the Confucius Temple, the sages and saints of the Dongji Kingdom are enshrined, gathering the thoughts and wish power of its people.

A spiritual energy formed by pure thought permeates the whole academy, and here in the Confucius Temple, the power of thought ability is the strongest.

As Ye Qingzhou, carrying Xu Yuebing's consciousness, was about to step into the temple, two majestic sword lights flew down from the sky.

"Don't you see the Great River's water comes from the sky, rushing to the sea, never to return."

"Once, due to gambling, the Flying Divine Sword crushed the Zhongnan First Peak."

Poetry Immortal Li Taibai!

Drunken Immortal Lv Chunyang!

Refining literary talents, literature carries the Dao!

These two light and floating verses, in the world of the spirit, carry the weight of Mount Tai, with a grand momentum and profound artistic conception.

The Great River Sword, like a waterfall from the sky, cascades down from the galaxy to the earth, its Sword Qi vast and mighty, like mercury pouring on the ground, unstoppable.

The Flying Divine Sword, like a white rainbow piercing the sun, a meteor falling from beyond the nine heavens, tearing the heavens, smashing the earth, as it sweeps away everything before it.

At this moment, Zeng Jixia and Yuan Zhiyi, waiting outside the academy, even though they had not directly faced these two sky-reaching Supreme Sword Intents, their spirits were completely overwhelmed by the residual waves of the sword intent.

Unfounded fear pervaded their hearts, rendering them speechless and immobile, with expressions of bewilderment and terror on their faces.

"What happened?"

"Why can't I move at all?"

"What on earth did Ye Qingzhou do inside? Could it be that he tried to demolish the Confucius Temple, thus offending the ancient sages being worshipped?"

The two were filled with fear and unease, yet were helpless, only able to stare wide-eyed in anxiety.

As for Ye Qingzhou, standing just outside the Confucius Temple and facing the Supreme Sword Intents of the Poetry Immortal and the Drunken Immortal, at this moment he remained calm, his spirit untouched.

"What a magnificent sword intent and spirit!"

Ye Qingzhou, comprehending the astounding sword intents of Li Taibai and Lv Chunyang, felt a sense of regret: "It's such a pity not to live in the same era, to compete with famous swords."

Clang~

With a ringing sound, the Heart Sword of Ye Qingzhou's Yin Spirit emitted a brilliant sword light.

Immediately, his spirit soared, and the six techniques of Wind, Fire, Mountain, Forest, Yin, and Thunder all transformed into six giant dragons, flying into the sky.

Each dragon had horns like a deer, head like a camel, eyes like a rabbit, neck like a snake, belly like a clam, scales like a fish, claws like an eagle, paws like a tiger, and ears like an ox, soaring above the nine heavens, bringing clouds and rain, awing the seas and the eight wildernesses.

"Literature carries the Dao, so that's how it is."

Ye Qingzhou felt a realization, suddenly understanding the true significance of the Yuelu Academy.

All the killing of papermen to receive the gift of the power of thought ability, using it to strengthen one's spirit and will - these so-called benefits are merely equivalent to picking up a small fish washed ashore by the vast ocean.

Teaching someone to fish is better than giving them fish.

The true value of Yuelu Academy lies in the secret technique of "Literature Carries the Dao."

Literature Carries the Dao uses paper and text that record knowledge to carry the civilizational force of the Dongji Kingdom, gathering the wishes and beliefs of its people, thus gathering literary Qi and ensuring a flourishing place.

And as the Martial Artists of the Dongji Kingdom, which shares a cultural origin, they naturally can also obtain the power of thought ability by slaying papermen, to strengthen their martial arts will.

Papermen represent books and poetry, they are the real-world carriers of the power of thought ability.

Thus, the sword can serve as a carrier, bearing the spirit and will of the Martial Artist.

"Carrying the Dao with the Sword, defending the Dao with the sword!"

"Dragon Abyss, assist me!"

Clang~

Roar~

The sound of sword cries and dragon roars responded to the shout from Ye Qingzhou's spirit, as the Emperor's Sword Longyuan suddenly unsheathed itself, crossing the sky to stand in front of Ye Qingzhou.

At the same time, Ye Qingzhou's martial arts will also transformed into six giant dragons, coiled around the Longyuan, while the light of Ye Qingzhou's Heart Sword became ever more brilliant, shining like moonlight, illuminating three feet of the spiritual platform.

Clang~

The three strands of sword intent fiercely collided and fused with each other, Ye Qingzhou's spirit enduring unprecedented turmoil, almost pierced through with countless wounds.

Yet, an unyielding fighting spirit continued to support the light of Ye Qingzhou's spirit from being extinguished.

Xu Yuebing seemed to also sense the crisis Ye Qingzhou was facing, her consciousness filled with timidity and fear, yet she still overcame the interference of negative emotions, stood up, and joined Ye Qingzhou, together enduring the attack from the Great River Sword and the Flying Divine Sword's sword intents.

The pain of the soul being torn apart is simply unbearable for ordinary people, and Xu Yuebing was merely holding on with great effort.

Finally, Ye Qingzhou endured the impact of the Great River Sword and Flying Divine Sword, struggling through to the last moment, his spirit once again undergoing transformation.

Heart Sword, Heart Spirit Sword!

This sword is formless and intangible, merging with heaven and earth, allowing Ye Qingzhou's Heart Sword to break through to the Third Realm—Intent Precedes Action!

Before the intent to kill arises, the enemy is already struck by the sword.

This is an incredibly profound divine technique. When Ye Qingzhou senses the hostility of his opponent, the Heart Sword will automatically launch a counterattack before Ye Qingzhou even consciously thinks, using sword intent to attack the target.

The heavier the opponent's hostility towards Ye Qingzhou, the stronger the Heart Sword's counterattack.

And Xu Yuebing's Heart Sword, after this ordeal, was also honed to be exquisite and transparent, enlightening inside and out, and officially stepped into the First Realm of Heart Sword, mastering the divine technique of Sword Follows Heart.
