Chapter 280: The Matter is Very Secretive

【It seems the man sensed your dissatisfaction and sighed before starting to demonstrate the knowledge reserves of students in the celestial officer study program.】

【Do you know why the God of Wealth disguised himself as the God of Martial Arts?】

【Do you understand why celestial officers respect the God of Wealth so much?】

【Are you clear about the psychological struggles and political implications of the God of Wealth fighting in the skies at that time?】

【From the behaviors and actions of various Arrow Realm guardians of celestial officers to the symbolic significance of celestial officers’ patrols, and the historical status when God of Martial Arts University was established…】

【There are too many things that only students in this field can learn about, and only those who study or work in this field can understand.】

【For those not in the celestial officer study program, this information is far too secretive, or rather, unknown.】

【You looked at him, sensing he seemed very knowledgeable but also that he might be rambling, and couldn’t help but give him a thumbs up.】

【He was absolutely right, and you agreed.】

【The research on the God of Wealth in the celestial officer study, as well as the relationship between celestial officers and the God of Wealth, is indeed too secretive and little known, even to you, this celestial officer.】

【The confidentiality measures are well done!】

【In the midst of the conversation, you felt that his thinking ability and foundations in martial arts theories were particularly solid.】

【So you changed the topic and began discussing martial arts knowledge systems and martial arts education issues with him.】

【You didn’t know whether it was your starlight crystal being very effective or if the topic you discussed resonated well with this celestial officer, the top student’s thoughts, or perhaps the top student also wanted to vent about the issues in martial arts education.】

【Under your inquiry, the top student passionately began to tell you about the problems existing in Exam-Oriented Education in martial arts.】

【Counting from the year 2022 when the God of Wealth started martial arts, this year, 2082, marks the sixtieth anniversary of the foundation of martial arts.】

【He is now only twenty-one years old; the distant history of fifty to sixty years ago, he has only heard from the mouths of his elders at home.】

【Despite being the top student in Central Plains, he indeed has a different life because of martial arts.】

【But regarding martial arts, he feels both love and hate.】

【Rationally, he loves martial arts and respects the God of Wealth, who pioneered it.】

【It is precisely because of the establishment and flourishing of martial arts that the current situation in Huaxia has greatly improved, allowing the number of Arrow Realm guardians under various military districts and war zones to reach hundreds and thousands.】

【It is also because of the resource supply from the Arrow Realms under Huaxia that the people of Huaxia can enjoy such a stable and happy life.】

【However, emotionally, for him personally, or for the young people of the 60s and 70s who have undergone Exam-Oriented Education in martial arts, their childhood lives were almost filled with martial arts.】

【Starting from entering kindergarten at the age of three, the enlightenment education of martial arts was placed on the agenda.】

【Then, for six years of elementary school, a large number of martial arts enlightenment books, martial arts stories, martial arts articles, and martial arts assignments filled his six years of elementary life to the brim.】

【The elders at home always comforted them, saying that elementary school was to lay the foundation of martial arts and that everything would be fine during middle school.】

【As a young child, he believed what the adults said and began to look forward to middle school.】

【Even the extremely painful martial arts conditioning courses that he had to take every day after third grade, and the bitter, dizzying martial arts potions he had to drink every morning, he gritted his teeth and endured.】

【But when he reached middle school, he realized that this was not a relaxing time; it was clearly the beginning of greater suffering!】

【Every day, he woke up at five in the morning for conditioning, exercised in the gravity room, attended martial arts theory classes after lunch, and worked on various martial arts theory questions and cultural subject questions.】

【At night, he went to the meditation room to comprehend spiritual fluctuations and only finished evening study at ten o’clock to rest.】

【Throughout six years of middle school, he returned home early and left late, waking earlier than the rooster and sleeping later than the dog.】

【Finally, having endured it all, the teachers said that once he reached university, everything would be fine.】

【But in university, the daunting specialized courses came rolling in, along with courses on martial skills and combat techniques, which truly left him with a headache.】

【The romantic love the middle school teachers told him about didn’t show any signs.】

【Most importantly, under the forced nature of the Exam-Oriented Education in martial arts, will true martial arts geniuses really be born?】

【In order to achieve high scores in the martial arts examination, our studies are based on the school’s arranged indicators, with teachers specially training us to focus on skill techniques for the martial arts examination standards.】

【Sometimes we wonder, does the enemy truly allow us to attack so rigidly on the battlefield?】

【The purpose of the martial arts examination is to train martial arts geniuses and push martial arts theories forward, or is it merely to cultivate cannon fodder warriors for the battlefield?】

【Haven’t you seen that in recent years, the development of martial arts theories has obviously stagnated, with innovations in martial arts theories still relying on masters from decades ago?】

【We, who have been educated in martial arts theories since childhood, mentored by renowned teachers, and supported by the state, should have unleashed greater enthusiasm and passion for research, yet we are truly exhausted.】

【When childhood martial arts education treats us as machines to be cultivated, we naturally become machines, rather than geniuses.】

【True martial arts geniuses are those who enjoy divergent thinking and possess unique and extraordinary ideas. They fail either due to limitations in family conditions or because of the rigid Exam-Oriented Education system in martial arts.】

【Is the martial arts examination a selective test where martial arts cultivation holds a seventy percent weight to determine whether it selects martial arts geniuses rather than just noble offspring?】

【Can a martial arts genius from an ordinary family, who trains hard for three years, compare to a child from an affluent family who takes two pills to enhance their performance?】

【Although many people say the martial arts examination is the only way out for ordinary families, this path is currently being blocked at an observable speed by those who rise up.】

【In a manner that quietly supported by ordinary martial arts families, and in a way that seems to be restricted by public opinion!】

【Oh, heavy-hearted God of Wealth! As you listen to the top student’s words, you frown and plunge into deep thought.】

【Has the martial arts assessment, like everything else, inevitably entered a rigid quagmire with the passage of time?】

【This is completely different from your original intention!】

【What you want to see is a scenario where everyone is like a dragon, living in harmony.】

【Breaking through to the Eighth Level of martial arts is a step further; you were originally considering including it in national policy and promoting martial arts practice for everyone, thinking that the slow progress must be due to the increasing difficulty as one advances.】

【Now it seems that the essence of slow martial arts development doesn’t seem to be so.】

【Perhaps there is a tendency for increased difficulty in breaking through higher levels, but the root cause still lies in the rigidity of the examination model, the massive loss of martial arts geniuses, and their assimilation into the masses.】
