Chapter 92 - Everyone was shocked (1/2)

Simply put, it was not considered anything worth mentioning, and the Japanese had blown it out of proportion.

Lu Xuan had seen too many ultimate skills and techniques back in his past life, and he deemed the Tsubame Gaeshi hardly worth anything special.

However, to the others, that skill was sufficiently shocking.

The Tsubame Gaeshi was a supreme Japanese kendo move that many had heard even if they had never seen it.

It was also said that those who had seen it were all dead.

Yet, Lu Xuan came out of a fight, having faced that move, totally unscathed. Furthermore, he had been able to replicate the move within mere moments.

What he did was surreal.

It was dead silent. There were only noises from bugs and birds of the woods.

Everyone nodded at that moment, apparently having accepted what was said. To everyone present, Lu Xuan was like a god.

To be put precisely, what he did matched how they saw him.

A man in his early twenties was somehow capable of such frightening feats. For most people, they would not have been able to reach this level of cultivation at such an age, even if they were to start training before they were born.

That was unless the cultivator in question had unparalleled talents, a one-in-a-million genius.

Such people remembered everything they have picked up, and what Lu Xuan did fit the description of such a genius just fine.

It was just like how the Four Heavenly Kings had five members.

The crowd quickly thought of explanations to rationalize the surreal feat that Lu Xuan had just pulled.

“Petty tricks. He could do it because he’s extremely fast. When you people reach the next level, such abilities will become an everyday thing,” Lu Xuan said plainly.

“A National Guardian. We actually have a National Guardian in the province!” someone exclaimed in shock.

This fact still felt surreal when one thought about it.

A National Guardian represented someone who was able to defend or suppress an entire nation single-handedly. Back in ancient times, someone like that would have been deemed a god on Earth, someone not even government authorities dared to touch. The only sensible thing to do was to get them on the government’s side.

They were so rare that one such figure might not appear in hundreds, maybe even in a thousand years.

Things would not have been as difficult as before when it came to such matters. The planet was beginning to go back to how it was before. Everyone felt cultivation was not a lot easier than it had once been.

Martial Arts Legends were almost truly just the stuff of legends, even if it was a level that was unattainable. Yet, at present, there were already several such figures in this one province alone.

In the past, an entire nation with that same amount of Martial Arts Legends would have been considered to be in a golden age.

Furthermore, it was only the warriors at the moment, and the Awakened ones had not been taken into account yet. Awakened ones were capable of blitzing through cultivation at frightening speeds, even while at early levels.

A Martial Arts Legend would have shot to fame all over the country, yet they were only esteemed figures back in their home provinces in modern times. But then again, National Guardians remained extremely rare nonetheless.

At the very least, it was the case for those people.

“I always thought that the first National Guardian in the province would be that guy from the Special Task Force or Master Bushuo from the Southern Shaolin Temple. Hell, I never expected the guy would be Lu Xuan instead.”

Everyone was thoroughly rattled deep down.
