GA: Chapter 263: Daigo: I'm No Longer the Me I Used to Be?
Whitebeard: "Gurararara, I think what Daigo said is fine, Marquis."
Whitebeard: "Or do you want to have a fight with this old man?"
In the One Piece World, Whitebeard's gaze also carried a hint of ill intent.
He is the strongest man in the world, Whitebeard!
Is being on the same level as him unacceptable to Woban?
Although he has spent more time on those brats lately, it doesn't mean his strength hasn't improved at all.
Marquis Woban has only broken a so-called status; even if he can improve, how much can he improve in this short time?
He might be stronger than him, but that strength is definitely limited.
The Oldest God Slayer (Voban): "Do you know what you're saying? Whitebeard."
In the God Slayer World, Marquis Woban also frowned.
The Oldest God Slayer (Voban): "Is it because I lost to Uchiha Madara and the Holy Lord (Shendu) in succession that you mistakenly believe my strength has fallen to your level?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Chat Group instantly fell silent.
Even in reality, Su Yunqing and the others couldn't help but hold their breath, watching the situation in the Chat Group with tension and excitement.
Marquis Woban's words were practically pointing at Whitebeard's nose and saying, 'Where do you get the confidence to think you can compare to me?' With Whitebeard's pride, he would never tolerate it.
Both are the top powerhouses of their respective worlds. Although there is a difference in strength, their pride is equal.
Who would truly believe from the bottom of their heart that the other is stronger than themselves?
It's not that they are weak, but rather their world systems.
So, what follows is bound to be a battle filled with sparks and blood, from words to physical combat!
Just as everyone was looking forward to this situation unfolding, someone stood up.
Uchiha Dance King (Uchiha Madara): "Meaningless disputes between laggards."
Uchiha Dance King (Uchiha Madara): "Instead of wasting time saying these meaningless words here, you'd better hurry up and strengthen yourselves."
Uchiha Dance King (Uchiha Madara): "Does it matter if Daigo's words are right or wrong? You don't actually think they were complimenting you, do you?"
Uchiha Dance King (Uchiha Madara): "Look at your strength; you can't even beat Daigo."
In the Naruto World, Uchiha Madara crossed his arms and looked at the clash between Marquis Woban and Whitebeard in the Chat Group with pride. This kind of meaningless behavior almost made him want to laugh.
Marquis Woban isn't hurrying to improve his strength, yet he's here dissatisfied that Daigo placed him on the same level as Whitebeard.
Whitebeard is also dissatisfied that Marquis Woban thinks his strength isn't on the same level.
Uchiha Dance King (Uchiha Madara): "Why does Daigo think your strengths are similar? Because in his eyes, you are both weaklings, just as you are in mine."
Uchiha Dance King (Uchiha Madara): "Although your strength has improved compared to before, the magnitude of that progress is too small, far lagging behind others."
Uchiha Dance King (Uchiha Madara): "Even some laggards have caught up and surpassed you, yet you're still here bickering over these trivial matters."
Boil Daigo into Soup (Daigo): "I didn't! Don't talk nonsense, I didn't mean that at all!"
Daigo immediately came out with a triple denial.
He was already confused about why Marquis Woban was angry, and now Uchiha Madara's sentence 'in his eyes, you are both weaklings' made him fall into a second state of confusion.
When did he ever see Marquis Woban and Whitebeard as weaklings?
One is the strongest man in the One Piece World, and the other is the Demon King of the God Slayer World.
If these count as weaklings, then what counts as a powerhouse!
Uchiha Dance King (Uchiha Madara): "What are you afraid of? Having already executed a Transmigrator Mission and received rewards, with your strength far exceeding the Tiga in the plot, do you still think you are inferior to Woban and Whitebeard?"
Uchiha Dance King (Uchiha Madara): "Wake up and change your perception of them. The current you has already surpassed them."
Uchiha Dance King (Uchiha Madara): "You can afford to be a bit more arrogant; there's no need to be so humble."
Uchiha Dance King (Uchiha Madara): "A powerhouse must have the magnanimity of a powerhouse."
Boil Daigo into Soup (Daigo): "This..."
With Uchiha Madara saying this, why did it feel like his perception of himself, Whitebeard, and Woban really was stuck in the past 'big shot' stage?
Thinking carefully, the current big shots in the Chat Group should be Bai Xuan, Angel Yan, Sect Master Luohao, Uchiha Madara, and the Holy Lord (Shendu).
Marquis Woban and Whitebeard have long since fallen from this position.
Even he is closer to this position than they are.
So, am I actually stronger than them?!"
Daigo fell into deep thought, but Marquis Woban did not.
The Oldest God Slayer (Voban): "You certainly have a lot to say, Uchiha Madara."
The Oldest God Slayer (Voban): "If not for that Transmigrator Mission, do you think you could have improved so quickly?"
The dual strengthening of the Rinnegan and Tenseigan even triggered an ancestral regression of the Otsutsuki Bloodline, producing various strange and powerful Dojutsu.
This strengthening is not just a leap in potential; even his strength has undergone a terrifying enhancement.
Although he broke the God Slayer status, this was more about potential, allowing him to gradually increase his strength step by step through his own efforts to the point he could only erupt into through idealism, without relying on it.
This takes time!
Naturally, Uchiha Madara's current strength is stronger than his, perhaps much stronger.
But without that Transmigrator Mission, it would have been impossible for Uchiha Madara to leap directly to his current strength.
Let alone speak to him in such a condescending manner.
Uchiha Dance King (Uchiha Madara): "Don't make excuses for your own weakness."
Uchiha Dance King (Uchiha Madara): "It would be one thing if Bai Xuan said such words, because his strength was fully capable of handling that Transmigrator alone and taking the largest share of the output, rather than choosing to give the opportunity to me; but what right do you, Marquis Woban, have to say such things?"
Uchiha Dance King (Uchiha Madara): "Did you not participate in that Transmigrator Mission? Did you not strike against the Transmigrator?"
Uchiha Dance King (Uchiha Madara): "It's just that because your strength was too low, the damage you caused him was limited."
Uchiha Dance King (Uchiha Madara): "Recognize your own weakness, Marquis Woban."
Uchiha Dance King (Uchiha Madara): "You both broke the God Slayer status, yet the gap between you and Sect Master Luohao is worlds apart."
He had fought a battle with Sect Master Luohao, and the result was neither a win nor a loss. Their strengths were evenly matched, both having means to continue the fight, but continuing would have been meaningless.
After coming out, Sect Master Luohao directly said she lost; for her, not winning was losing.
It was the same for him.
From Sect Master Luohao, he saw that kind of fanaticism for becoming stronger.
Unlike them, who had various reasons to become stronger, Sect Master Luohao seemed to have only the goal of becoming stronger; she became stronger simply for the sake of becoming stronger.
GA: Chapter 264: Is the Mystery of Longevity So Trivial in the Eyes of the Supernatural?
One can tell from the frequency of appearances in the Chat Group. →
Compared to those who chat often, Luo Hao rarely spent time in the Chat Group after her initial few messages, especially after breaking through her God Slayer Status.
With the Great Path right before her eyes, why would she waste time on other matters?
The Oldest God Slayer (Voban): "You bastard!!!"
Marquis Woban was provoked by Uchiha Madara's words, but he couldn't refute them.
It was precisely because he couldn't refute them that he was so angry!
Zhang Sanfeng: "Although the timing isn't great, this old Taoist's hundredth birthday has arrived."
Zhang Sanfeng: "Without any surprises, the Shaolin, Kongtong Sect, Emei Sect, and other Sects will soon come to question Cuishan and the others about Xie Xun's whereabouts."
Zhang Sanfeng's sudden appearance drew everyone's attention.
The others, who were previously just watching the drama, also began to reappear one after another.
Ordinary Group Owner: "A hundredth birthday? Isn't that when the plot starts?"
Ordinary Group Owner: "They say it's for Xie Xun, but isn't it really for the Dragon Slaying Saber?"
Dongfang Bubai: "Supreme of the martial world, the precious Dragon Slaying Saber; commanding all under heaven, none dare disobey! If Heaven Reliant does not appear, who can challenge it!"
Dongfang Bubai: "The slogan is indeed resounding, but who would have thought that the so-called'Supreme of the martial world' and 'commanding all under heaven' were actually because of a book on military strategy."
Ordinary Group Owner: "Speaking of which, it's quite strange. I can understand the Wumu Legacy commanding all under heaven, but why add'Supreme of the martial world' in front? What does it have to do with being the supreme of the martial world?"
Ordinary Group Owner: "Or does'Supreme of the martial world' refer to the Nine Yin Manual and the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms inside the Heaven Reliant Sword?"
Ordinary Group Owner: "But if that's the case, why isn't it'Supreme of the martial world, the precious Heaven Reliant Sword'?"
Su Yunqing voiced her confusion. People in the martial world shouldn't have much interest in a military strategy book like the Wumu Legacy, so why was'Supreme of the martial world' linked to the Dragon Slaying Saber?
Zhang Sanfeng: "This..."
No one had really paid attention to this point before.
Richest Man in America (Tony Stark): "This should be quite normal, right?"
Richest Man in America (Tony Stark): "A bunch of people are frantically chasing these two cold weapons without even knowing the secret of the Dragon Slaying Saber and Heaven Reliant Sword. They never even stopped to think that Xie Xun had the Dragon Slaying Saber for so many years and never became any'Supreme of the martial world'."
Ordinary Group Owner: "That's hard to say."
Ordinary Group Owner: "They might not know the secret of the Dragon Slaying Saber and Heaven Reliant Sword, but they know there definitely is a secret; as long as there's a secret, that's enough."
Ordinary Group Owner: "If you told them about the Wumu Legacy, Nine Yin Manual, and Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, fewer people would chase them. Like Shaolin and... what else? It seems like only Shaolin."
Su Yunqing instinctively wanted to say that top Sects like Shaolin and Wudang wouldn't get involved, but this time Wudang wasn't involved to begin with. She wanted to find an example to put alongside Shaolin—a Sect that wouldn't be tempted by the Nine Yin Manual or the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms.
But looking left and right, she actually couldn't think of any!
For instance, consider the four Sects: Kongtong Sect, Emei, Kunlun, and Huashan.
The Kongtong Sect Sect? They only have the Seven Injuries Fist, which harms the user as much as the enemy.
The Emei Sect? If you say Guo Xiang's martial arts were strong, they didn't seem that great; otherwise, Abbess Miejue wouldn't be so desperate to find the Dragon Slaying Saber to clash it with the Heaven Reliant Sword to retrieve the Nine Yin Manual and Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms.
The Huashan Sect? If the Huashan Sect Leader had any real strength, he wouldn't need to hide poison in his fan.
The Kunlun Sect? The Sect Leader's strength is probably about the same as the Five Elders of Kongtong.
It was impossible for them to refuse top-tier martial arts like the Nine Yin Manual and the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms.
Shaolin, on the other hand, had no shortage of techniques. With the Seventy-Two Consummate Arts, the Muscle Tendon Changing Classic, and the Marrow Washing Skill, what ultimate technique did they lack?
Does Shaolin value martial arts? Could any martial art, no matter how precious, be stronger than those created by Patriarch Bodhidharma?
They might be stronger, but they would certainly never admit it.
Moreover, as a Buddhist Sect, practicing martial arts was just one of Shaolin's choices; the most important thing was the Buddhist Dharma!
Most of their day was spent in Zen meditation and worshiping Buddha.
The consummate arts of Shaolin were also linked to the Buddhist Dharma; the deeper one's understanding of the Dharma, the deeper their understanding of martial arts, and the faster their cultivation speed.
Aside from Wudang, it was truly difficult to find another Sect in Heaven Reliant that could rival Shaolin.
As for why Wudang could stand alongside Shaolin?
(Zhang Sanfeng: What do you think?)
Child of Nature: "If the Carefree Sect had flourished until now, it might have been a different story."
The four members of the Carefree Sect were highly valued by Xiaoyaozi, so their talent was undeniably high. It's just a pity that three of them were trapped by love and took the wrong path.
In the end, all their internal energy went to benefit Xu Zhu.
Ordinary Group Owner: "Speaking of the Carefree Sect, is Xiaoyaozi still alive?"
Ordinary Group Owner: "Isn't it said that the martial arts he practiced can grant immortality?"
Ordinary Group Owner: "The Eternal Youth Art of the Everlasting Spring? That was the name, right?"
Ordinary Group Owner: "The Northern Darkness Divine Art, Minor Formless Skill, and the Eight Desolations and Six Directions Sole Supremacy Art are all parts of this technique. Xiaoyaozi thought they would discover it when the three of them exchanged martial arts after he left, but..."
Ordinary Group Owner: "This is something I saw in a fan fiction novel; it seems quite possible."
Child of Nature: "The Eight Desolations and Six Directions Sole Supremacy Art has been renamed; it's called the Everlasting Spring Art."
Child of Nature: "Is Xiaoyaozi still alive? Without any surprises, he certainly is."
Child of Nature: "In the setting, he went to the Valley of Everlasting Spring. Drinking the spring water in the valley year-round can preserve youth forever. The hundred-year-old elders in the valley all have black hair and rosy complexions, looking like teenagers in their tens."
Child of Nature: "He took away the divine book that records the secret of immortality, hence the saying: 'The divine book has departed with the Carefree One, leaving only the Everlasting Spring behind in this valley.'"
Child of Nature: "Since the setting is about immortality, he has no reason not to be immortal."
Dongfang Bubai: "Why don't you guys check the Group Mall?"
Dongfang Bubai: "That divine book is there."
Dongfang Bubai: "The price is 700,000 points. At such an expensive price, immortality is likely not a lie."
Even the dog talisman is only one million points.
But the dog talisman, besides immortality, also has the effect of being undying.
The things recorded in this divine book probably don't just include immortality, but other things as well.
Richest Man in America (Tony Stark): "Immortality again... Even a Wuxia world has things that grant immortality!"
Is the mystery of longevity so vulnerable in the eyes of the supernatural?
Spiritual energy and magic are one thing, but martial arts manuals?
Take your power seriously, big brother!
Clearly, your performance in the plot can only shatter rocks and mountains!!!
You're stronger than ordinary people, but compared to Chakra or devil fruits, your power isn't just a little bit weaker!
But why can such a weak world system allow people to live forever!
If it were high-fantasy or mid-fantasy martial arts, fine, but aren't you a low-fantasy martial arts world?!
Low-fantasy can also grant immortality?
