Can you turn yourself into a superman by doing radio gymnastics? Three Sky-Splitting Swords!

"Calisthenics?"

Emperor Chuan held the document, feeling his intelligence insulted.

He propped his feet on the desk, took a swig of soda, and let out a loud burp.

"Is that it? You intelligence agencies spent tens of billions of taxpayer money just to show me this?"

"1.4 billion people collectively waving their arms and kicking their legs?"

"Ha! What a joke!"

A bead of cold sweat appeared on the secretary's forehead. He carefully pushed up his glasses: "Mr. President, the intelligence agency's analysts believe this matter is extraordinary. Such a large-scale, mandatory national mobilization must have a deeper strategic intent that we have not yet understood."

"Intent? What intent could there be?" Emperor Chuan tossed the document back onto the table with a sneer: "The only intent is that they finally realized how weak their national Physique is! Look at the citizens of our Beautiful Country, all tall and mighty, either lifting weights in the gym or playing extreme sports outdoors! What about them? At most, they do some ridiculous square dancing in the park!"

The secretary tried to argue: "But, Mr. President, according to reports from our informants, people who consistently do this set of exercises are indeed improving their physical fitness at an unscientific rate..."

"Unscientific?" Emperor Chuan interrupted him, stood up, walked to the window, and said with his hands behind his back: "The most unscientific thing in this world is that you actually want to tell me what to do! Could they really turn into superhumans just by doing calisthenics? Don't be ridiculous!"

The secretary opened his mouth but found himself speechless.

Yes, this logic didn't hold up no matter how he looked at it.

"Alright, are you the President or am I the President?" Emperor Chuan waved his hand impatiently, "Such humorous trivial matters don't need to take up my precious time to inform me anymore. I have more important things to do, such as making the Beautiful Country great again!"

"Get out!"

The secretary, as if granted a great pardon, scurried out with the folder.

The office returned to quiet. Emperor Chuan picked up his phone, skillfully opened a social media platform, and a mischievous smile spread across his lips.

His fingers flew, and he quickly edited a new post:

"I heard that the mysterious Eastern Great Nation is conducting a great nationwide movement, with 1.4 billion people doing exercises together! How interesting! Perhaps this is how they maintain their national health? Applause for their efforts!"

As soon as this sarcastic tweet was posted, it instantly ignited the entire foreign internet.

Netizens from the Beautiful Country seemed to have found new amusement, and various parody videos and memes spread like a virus.

Some edited videos of the Great Xia's calisthenics with videos of their own state governors showing off muscles, set to comical music.

Others directly went to the Great Xia's social media and left tons of mocking comments.

"Oh my god! Is this the legendary kung fu? It looks less strenuous than my grandma's rehabilitation exercises!"

"My God, Great Roc Spreading Its Wings? Are they imitating some kind of bird mating ritual?"

"We play American football, they play in the mud. We train muscles, they do calisthenics. Haha!"

Seeing that the Beautiful Country dared to mock them, the netizens of the Great Xia were naturally not to be trifled with.

An international online flame war centered around "calisthenics" instantly erupted.

"Laughing to death, we do some exercises, and you're all so concerned. How scared are you?"

"They're panicking, they're panicking. Seeing us get better and better, some countries can only stomp their feet in frustration and vent through their keyboards!"

"Alright, instead of mocking here, why don't you go worry about your freely flying peanuts?"

"Otherwise, if one day they hit you on the head, don't cry to your parents."

The internet was in an uproar, but the Great Xia's top brass turned a deaf ear to it, as if the storms of public opinion didn't exist.

They were busy with something more important.

Huge orders, disguised through various commercial channels, flowed from the Great Xia to medicinal material markets around the world.

"What? The 'Blood Dragon Vine' inventory in South America was cleared out by a mysterious buyer? Full cash payment?"

"The 'American Ginseng' in Europe has been bought up! The buyer is said to be from the Great Xia, and the only requirement is: as much as possible!"

"Our company just received a huge order. The other party specified that they want to acquire all of our aged wild ginseng in the warehouse. The price is ridiculously high, it's almost like they're doing charity!"

Global medicinal material suppliers went crazy.

They couldn't figure out what these suddenly appearing "Great Xia buyers" wanted to do, but that didn't stop them from tearfully earning huge sums of money they had never seen in their lives.

Countless precious medicinal materials were shipped from all over the world, through various sea, land, and air channels, eventually converging like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, into the secret underground base in the capital... Meanwhile, in a special Cultivation room within the base.

Lin Xiyue sat cross-legged, surrounded by a faint golden current of Qi.

The Qi current was incomparably sharp, cutting the air with subtle "hissing" sounds.

In front of her, an A4 paper bound book flipped rapidly.

It recorded the Earth Rank top-grade Cultivation Technique — the Geng Metal Sky-Splitting Art.

The profundity of this Cultivation Technique far exceeded the Profound Rank Cultivation Technique she had cultivated before.

But for Lin Xiyue's Heaven-Defying Cultivation talent and Comprehension Ability, the so-called difficulty simply didn't exist.

"Hoo—"

Suddenly, Lin Xiyue slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi. The breath was like a sharp arrow, leaving a shallow white mark on the alloy wall in front of her.

She opened her eyes, and a brilliant golden light flashed in the depths of her pupils.

Qi Refining Realm, Ninth Level, Perfection!

In just a few days, she not only completely mastered this Earth Rank top-grade Cultivation Technique, but her Cultivation also directly soared to the peak of the Qi Refining Realm.

"The Geng Metal Sky-Splitting Art is indeed powerful. The spiritual power within my body carries an indomitable sharpness."

Lin Xiyue stood up, stretched her limbs, and felt the surging power within her body.

She walked to the weapon rack in the center of the room and picked up an alloy longsword that was entirely silver-white.

With the Cultivation Technique at Perfection, it was time to Cultivate the Supporting facilities Sword Art.

That's right, this Cultivation Technique also thoughtfully came with a complementary Sword Art.

Its name: Sky-Splitting Three Swords! Also Earth Rank top-grade.

Lin Xiyue closed her eyes, and the first move of the Sword Art appeared in her mind.

[First Move: Startled Sting]

Sword Qi like spring thunder, exploding silently, instantly arriving, incredibly swift.

The next second, she suddenly opened her eyes and flicked her wrist.

"Buzz!"

A slender Sword Qi, almost invisible, instantly left the sheath, so fast that it surpassed the limit of what the naked eye could capture!

And at the other end of the Cultivation room, on the special steel target used for testing power, a pinhole-sized hole silently appeared.

"Hmm, not bad!"

"It seems this Young Miss also has a great talent for being a Sword Immortal!"

Lin Xiyue looked at her masterpiece and nodded in satisfaction.

The essence of this Sword was "speed" and "concealment," killing invisibly.

She felt that for her, it wasn't difficult to execute.

She took a deep breath and began to practice the second move.

[Second Move: Chasing Lightning]

Sword light like lightning, moving invisibly, with unpredictable trajectories, making it impossible to guard against.

Her figure instantly blurred in the Cultivation room. Streaks of golden, lightning-like Sword Qi flashed around her, each flash accompanied by an extremely tricky slash.

The entire room was filled with dense whooshing sounds, as if dozens of her were striking simultaneously.

When her figure stood still again, the surrounding alloy walls were already covered with terrifying, crisscrossing Sword marks.

"This move is suitable for group combat or distracting opponents," Lin Xiyue murmured, feeling her understanding of the Sword Art deepen.

Finally, she held the longsword horizontally across her chest, and the sharp spiritual power within her body began to madly gather towards the blade.

The silver-white Sword body was gradually covered by a dazzling golden light, and the air twisted because of it.

[Third Move: Sky-Splitting]

Gathering Geng Metal Sword Qi, unleashing a blow that tears space apart!

Lin Xiyue let out a delicate shout, using all her strength, and swung this earth-shattering Sword forward!

A crescent-shaped golden Sword light shot out from the blade. Wherever it passed, the space in front immediately emitted an unbearable hum and produced a violent, visible distortion!

It was as if a mirror that had been heavily struck was about to shatter completely in the next second!

But at the critical moment, Lin Xiyue's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly cut off the spiritual power supply, abruptly retracting her hand!

Because she realized that if she had truly unleashed this Sword here,

Then this Cultivation room would probably be completely scrapped...
