Liu Yi was definitely in the right regarding this matter. This was beyond doubt. He had been threatened with a gun by someone from the Primordial School, so it was perfectly reasonable for him to go to their door and demand an explanation. The only issue was that Liu Yi had made an exorbitant demand. But no matter how exorbitant his demand was, you could have simply refused him. Resorting to violence was your mistake!

Liu Yi is a Grandmaster, after all, and Zhang Beixing's master on top of that. How could he maintain his dignity after you ganged up on him and beat him into this state?

"It seems I need to have a talk with those people from the Primordial School!" Zhang Beixing said.

This matter couldn't just be dropped like this. The fact that they had beaten Liu Yi twice had to be addressed! Otherwise, as his disciple, Zhang Beixing's thoughts would be unsettled, and he wouldn't even be able to sleep soundly!

However, before that, Zhang Beixing mulled over Liu Yi's earlier words, "Master of All, create one's own Martial Arts, collect..." He was lost in thought.

Then, with a mental command, he opened the suggestion panel, looking at the suggested tasks that he had never accepted since the System recorded them. He silently accepted the suggestion: [Create an Ultimate Skill, Above Grandmaster].

All the other tasks were from fictional works and didn't exist in reality. So, either way, he would need to figure them out himself. Moreover, the tasks had very strict limitations. Since that was the case, he might as well choose a task with relatively lenient requirements. When he eventually broke through to the Great Grandmaster realm, he could complete the task simultaneously, killing two birds with one stone—a delightful prospect!

The only problem was that, for now, breaking through to the Great Grandmaster realm and creating an Ultimate Skill seemed incredibly difficult. Even with the System, achieving such a qualitative leap would be exceptionally hard. This involved the question of 'path' and 'direction,' something that couldn't be resolved merely by allocating points. It required an ideological breakthrough as monumental as the Creation of the World—truly a tough challenge!

Whether he wanted to create his own Ultimate Skill or bring an Ultimate Skill from a fictional work into reality, both involved 'creation.' And creation, in turn, required a vast foundation of knowledge.

What should I do…

While Zhang Beixing was pondering these matters, Elder Chen couldn't help but chuckle after hearing Liu Yi's words. They really couldn't say much about Liu Yi's actions in this matter. After all, he was just trying to pave the way for his disciple. It was just that his method of paving the way... was a bit too blunt and ill-considered.

"The idea of borrowing from various Martial Arts Secret Manuals isn't wrong in itself. It's just that the difficulty is indeed very high," Elder Chen first acknowledged the validity of Liu Yi's idea, then looked at him and asked, "Brother Liu, have you asked the people at the Northern River Province Martial Arts Association about this?"

If he wanted to borrow Martial Arts Secret Manuals, considering Zhang Beixing's current status as the Honorary Vice President of the Northern River Province Martial Arts Association, along with the influence he had gained from his recent accomplishments, starting with acquaintances in the vicinity should be somewhat easier.

Liu Yi was stunned by this question. Evidently, he hadn't considered this point at all; it only dawned on him after Elder Chen brought it up.

Seeing his reaction, Elder Chen naturally understood and couldn't help but feel a little exasperated. Then he looked at Zhang Beixing and said, "Grandmaster Zhang, since you want to break through to the Great Grandmaster realm and need to study a large number of Martial Arts Secret Manuals, why don't we first approach the Northern River Province Martial Arts Association? We can see how they respond. What do you think?"

"Alright!" Zhang Beixing nodded.

In fact, he had entertained the same idea after accepting the System's suggested task; Elder Chen had simply voiced it first.

Once this was decided, Zhang Beixing didn't delay. He immediately called the President of the Northern River Province Martial Arts Association, explained the situation, and asked him to go to the trouble of gathering the current members at the association's headquarters.

After receiving an affirmative response from the President of the Northern River Province Martial Arts Association, the three of them wasted no time. They immediately went online to buy tickets and took a car to Wucheng.

On the way, Zhang Beixing called his family to explain the situation and reassure them.

...

「Five o'clock in the afternoon.」

At the Wucheng headquarters of the Northern River Province Martial Arts Association, with the belated arrival of the last member of the Northern River Province Martial Arts Association, all seventeen registered members of the association were present.

It wasn't that Northern River Province only had this many Martial Artists. Rather, these were the only seventeen individuals recognized within Great Xia's Martial Arts Circles who were also willing to join the association.

Having gathered, they began to discuss among themselves animatedly.

"What's going on? Why did the President suddenly summon all of us? Did something major happen?"

"I heard it might have something to do with Vice President Zhang."

"Vice President Zhang? Has he stirred up something new again? I haven't heard anything!"

"Judging by this turnout, it must be serious. Goodness, he called every single one of us."

"Whatever it is, big or small, Vice President Zhang's business is my business! If it weren't for his words the other day, my Martial Arts Hall wouldn't have been revived!"

"Same here! I was just worrying that I hadn't found a chance to repay Vice President Zhang, and now an opportunity has presented itself already."

"Shh, quiet down! Vice President Zhang is coming out!"
