Only Got My Martial Arts Modifier in My Old Age

At this moment, Watanabe Takeshi put down the newspaper, raising his head to look at Yamamoto Ichirō, who was standing before him.

"A Grandmaster of Divine Intent? How could one of those sick men from Daxia possibly break through to this realm?"

"I don’t believe it. This is absolutely fake."

Before Yamamoto Ichirō could respond, Watanabe Takeshi’s eyes flashed with a near-fanatical light. "Mr. Yamamoto, do you know how I broke through to the Huajin realm back then?"

Yamamoto Ichirō nodded. "I heard... His Majesty the Emperor bestowed upon you the Immortal Flesh?"

Hearing this, the corners of Watanabe Takeshi’s mouth curled up slightly into a smug smile. "That’s right. The Immortal Flesh granted by His Majesty the Emperor allowed me to step into the realm of a Grandmaster of Huajin at the age of thirty."

He paused, a complex look flashing in his eyes. "Last year, I even encountered those Outer Celestial Demons the people from the Yin Court talk about."

’Outer Celestial Demons? Things like that actually exist?’ Yamamoto Ichirō’s pupils constricted slightly.

Watanabe Takeshi saw his doubt and sneered. "Those Outer Celestial Demons tried to possess me. Unfortunately for them, they picked the wrong person. The Martial Dao Will of the Watanabe family is not something a mere monster can shake."

"That night, I crushed that monster with my own will. And then, I broke through."

"Mid-stage Grandmaster of Huajin."

Yamamoto Ichirō was utterly dumbfounded. ’A Mid-stage Grandmaster of Huajin... in his thirties... That’s an exceedingly rare existence in all of Wa Country!’

Seeing his expression, Watanabe Takeshi’s smugness deepened.

He stared at the photograph in the newspaper. "A sick man from Daxia is worthy of being called a Grandmaster of Divine Intent?"

"Back then, when my Great Wa Country’s army descended upon this land, we slaughtered them until they were running for their lives in a panic. Even their Emperor fled. And now they dare claim to have produced a Grandmaster of Divine Intent?"

As he spoke, Watanabe Takeshi crumpled the newspaper into a ball and threw it violently to the ground.

"Fake news! More fake news!"

"Mr. Yamamoto."

A shiver ran down Yamamoto Ichirō’s spine. He quickly bowed. "Hai!"

Watanabe Takeshi looked at him and said, word by word, "You are to arrange a challenge stage immediately."

Yamamoto Ichirō was stunned. "A challenge stage?"

A cruel smile tugged at the corner of Watanabe Takeshi’s mouth. "Yes, a challenge stage. I’m going to challenge all the Daxia People in Yun Port City. I’ll use my fists to show these sick men what true Martial Arts are."

"I will expose the lie of that so-called Grandmaster of Divine Intent in front of everyone!"

Yamamoto Ichirō’s heart pounded with fear, and he could only nod repeatedly. "Hai! Hai!"

Watanabe Takeshi continued, "The location will be at their so-called Martial Arts Demonstration."

"Let those Daxia People see that the Martial Arts they’re so proud of is a complete joke in the face of my Great Wa Country!"

Yamamoto Ichirō cautiously reminded him, "Colonel, what if... what if that person really is a Grandmaster of Divine Intent?"

Watanabe Takeshi suddenly glared at him, his gaze so fierce it looked like he was about to eat him alive.

’This guy has been in Daxia for so long, how can he be so clueless?’

’What if? You dare to say "what if"?! Do you expect me to go there and die?’

Yamamoto Ichirō shuddered under the ferocious glare, quickly lowering his head and not daring to speak another word.

’Even though I’m also a Grandmaster of Huajin, I’m far too weak compared to this savage bastard in front of me.’

’Besides, this bastard comes from a prominent family, and he even has an elder who’s a Late-stage Grandmaster of Huajin backing him up!’

Watanabe Takeshi stared at Yamamoto Ichirō for a long time before slowly retracting his gaze.

"A Grandmaster of Divine Intent? So what if he really is one? There are still six months..."

"In half a year, the armies of my Great Wa Country will once again descend upon this land."

"Everything here will belong to my Wa Country, whether it’s the Immortal Flesh or the Overseas Immortal Island."
