“Ding! Strength +1”

“Ding! Strength +1”

“Ding! Speed +1”

“…”

Luo Fei led Luo Xue behind Wang Le as they walked towards the Ultimate Dojo building. From time to time, the clear and melodious system notifications would ring in his mind. That warm current flowed into his limbs and bones, continuously strengthening his physique.

Luo Fei did not know if it was an illusion, but he could clearly feel that the frequency of the system notification was much higher than before.

“Luo Fei, is there anything else you want to ask?”

Then, Wang Le changed the topic. He was very happy to form a good relationship with Luo Fei, so he naturally told him everything he knew.

“Thank you, Big Brother Wang!” Luo Fei’s eyes lit up when he heard that, and he immediately thanked him.

After all, a martial arts master had answered his doubts, he knew that this opportunity was not easy to come by. Thus, without the slightest hesitation, he asked all of his doubts.

“I was told that there is a division of realms in the martial artist realm. Above the martial artist realm is the martial arts master realm, but what is above the martial arts master realm?

“Why do I feel that there is a powerful aura in your martial arts master realm, is it because of the Spirit Qi?

“Why can’t a martial artist absorb the Spirit Qi? The ferocious beasts sound very important to a martial artist. Would eating them cause a sudden increase in strength? What is the division of levels between ferocious beasts?

“Lastly, what is the C grade weapon or a set of D grade equipment that you mentioned before?”

After asking all of these questions, Luo Fei looked at Wang Le in front of him with anticipation.

“Anything else?” Wang Le asked with a smile.

“Not for the time being!” Luo Fei thought for a moment and shook his head.

“Actually, you will have the answers to these questions when you come to the Dojo. However, let me give you a rough explanation first!”

“First of all, the word ‘realm’ is used well!

“There is indeed a clear division between martial artists. There are beginner-level martial artists, intermediate-level and advanced-level ones!

“Above martial artists are martial arts masters, which is my current realm.

“As for the pressure that you feel, it is indeed because of the martial arts master realm. It is also related to Spirit Qi! 

“Martial arts masters can absorb Spirit Qi into their bodies, strengthening them. Spirit Qi is a kind of powerful energy. It is absorbed by martial arts masters all year round, so it naturally carries pressure. This can be considered as one of the symbols of the status as a martial master!

“There might be some exceptions but those are the general differences. I believed that the kid from the Lin family has already described to you the vast differences between a martial artist and a martial arts master!” 

As Wang Le spoke, he suddenly pointed at Lin Dong’s group, who was following far behind him. 

When Lin Dong saw that he had been spotted, he quickly ran over and smiled sheepishly as he greeted Wang Le, “Senior Wang!”

He was not Luo Fei, and he did not dare to act presumptuously in front of a martial arts master, especially since the other party was a martial arts master from the Ultimate Dojo.

“Yup, he told me previously.” Luo Fei nodded towards Lin Dong and replied.

Soon after, Wang Le’s expression suddenly turned serious, “Let me repeat myself. In this world, there is a type of energy, we call it Spirit Qi!”

“Spirit Qi is colorless, tasteless, and invisible to the naked eye. Ordinary people, and even martial artists, are completely unaware of the existence of Spirit Qi. Only when one has reached the martial arts master-level will one truly touch and sense its existence!

“Martial arts masters can absorb the Spirit Qi of heaven and earth for their own use, thus achieving the effect of cultivation.

“In other words, only when one has reached the realm of the martial arts master can one truly touch upon cultivation and embark on its path.

“This is also the reason why there are people who say that anyone below the level of martial arts masters is merely ants in comparison.

“Martial artists can only tap into the potential of the human body, thus increasing its quality in all aspects and breaking through to the highest level. Although one has grasped strength that far surpasses ordinary people, there is no fundamental change in their nature. In the end, they are all still considered human beings.

“But the martial arts master who absorbs the Spirit Qi of heaven and earth to cultivate can be said to have reached the realm of ‘transcendence’, which is fundamentally different from ordinary people.

“It is precise because he can mobilize the Spirit Qi of heaven and earth that even the weakest martial arts master can easily win against a high-level martial artist whose strength and speed are close to his.

“This is the secret of this world, and also the truth!”

After saying this, Wang Le looked at Luo Fei’s expression with great anticipation, hoping to see the latter’s a shocked expression after hearing this. However, even after listening to his narration, Luo Fei was only slightly surprised in his heart, but he quickly digested this information and was even a little disappointed.

‘That’s all??’

It was not surprising that there was “Spirit Qi” in this world. After all, even ferocious beasts had appeared. He had read many novels in his previous life.

The legendary Spirit Qi that would allow one to become immortal did not seem to have such a great effect after all. Perhaps it was because the level of the world that he had come into contact with was not high enough. All of this still seemed too low for Luo Fei’s expectations. Perhaps there were still many secrets that even Wang Le did not know!

Through understanding the history of this world, Luo Fei discovered that the original ferocious beasts were not so powerful, and the humans were not so powerful either. He guessed a thought.

Perhaps the world was still recovering, and the Spirit Qi was gradually increasing from less to more.

“Eh? Little Brother, how you are not surprised?”

Seeing how calm Luo Fei was, Wang Le himself was surprised. This reaction was completely different from what he had expected! Usually, when a person first heard about all of this, he would be stunned for a long time!

How could he bear this? Could it be that he didn’t understand the world of prodigies? This was uncomfortable!

“I can also tell you this. Because martial arts masters absorb the Spirit Qi of heaven and earth to cultivate, their lifespan will increase as well. I estimate that I can live for at least 150 years!” Wang Le released another bombshell.

Yet, Luo Fei still remained calm as a river. His expression was as if he was saying, “That’s all?”

“Alright, I’m going to guess that the Lin family brat has already told you about this!”

When he saw Luo Fei’s reaction, Wang Le shot a glance at Lin Dong, who was standing beside him, as he said with a displeased expression. He was looking forward to Luo Fei’s shocked expression. However, he ended up disappointed!

Lin Dong was extremely clueless. Honestly speaking, he did not mention any of this to Luo Fei. While facing the unhappy Wang Le, Lin Dong started to panic. He did not want to take the blame!

“In any case, you will naturally understand the many uses of Spirit Qi after you reach the martial arts master realm. There is no need to say anything else now. I only hope that you will break through to the martial master realm in four to five years’ time…

“As for those above the martial master realm? That’s the real big shot!

“Cultivators pay attention to being modest. For your own good, I won’t tell you for now. You just need to understand the general situation.

“Ferocious beast meat is an indispensable resource on the path of a martial artist to become stronger. It contains traces of Spirit Qi. Therefore, the more a martial artist eats, the faster their physical fitness will increase. At the same time, the faster they can sense Spirit Qi when they reach the martial arts master realm in the future!

“This is also the reason why the price is so expensive! Otherwise, why do you think your salary is so high? I’m afraid it’s far from enough! The more talented you are, the more resources you need!

“Therefore, the dojo will give you 7,000 kg of ferocious beast meat, which is much more valuable than giving you 12 million.

“If it weren’t for the fact that the previous group of people didn’t want to trick you, or didn’t want to offend you, they could have avoided the ferocious beast meat and directly offered you cash.. At that time, I guess you would have directly agreed, right?”
