Chapter 66 Level of Fighters
Middle Houtian realm?
Ji Feng vaguely remembered something.
Previously, he had some dealings with Tian Guodong and the others of the Dark Yin Sect. Although they were enemies, Ji Feng got some information from them.
Especially when he fought with one of Tian Guodong's martial brothers, he had said that Ji Feng was a Xiantian martial artist, and had called his biological electric current Xiantian Zhen Qi. Did this mean that the Xiantian martial artist was related to the middle Houtian realm martial artist that Shen Jingyi had mentioned?
"Jingyi, Ji Feng asked you a question, why aren't you saying anything?" Zhang Lei glanced at Shen Jingyi and asked with a frown.
"I was thinking. How should I answer Ji Feng's question? " Shen Jingyi shook her head and said, "The words' Hou Tian middle stage 'are actually very easy to explain. It is the same level as a martial artist. However, it will be troublesome if I explain it clearly to you."
"Fighter rank?" Zhang Lei was stunned, "Isn't it just some martial arts master, martial arts grandmaster, or something similar?" What's the name of the middle Houtian realm? "
Ji Feng also listened attentively. Although he himself was an outstanding martial artist, he had never understood the matters of the martial arts world. Before this, he did not put all of his energy into this, but was busy developing a drug manufacturing plant.
At the same time, he could take this opportunity to find out more about Shen Jingyi's origins.
"Actually, although modern society has already entered the era of high technology and firearms have taken up the mainstream, but in reality, martial arts has not become extinct." Shen Jingyi said.
"Does this mean that there really are experts in martial arts?" Zhang Lei asked in surprise.
"That's right!"
Shen Jingyi slightly nodded her head. "Not only are there martial arts experts, but those martial artists are also very strong."
"Then why aren't these experts seen?" Zhang Lei asked curiously, "Are they all like those people on TV, hiding away to cultivate?"
"Part of it."
Shen Jingyi nodded her head and said, "However, a large part of the martial artists have already entered society. They have extraordinary skills, and regardless of whether it's doing business or other things, they have more advantages than the average person. So now, many martial artists have a high position in society!"
Ji Feng couldn't help but ask, "And then?"
"And?"
Shen Jingyi couldn't help but be startled. "What then?"
"It's not like people who know kung fu can't do business. As long as it's not against the law, anyone can do anything, right?"
Ji Feng laughed, "What I want to know is, in your Martial World, what is the situation right now. For example, do you guys know if there are different sects and families like in the past? Also, what about that warrior's level you were talking about, what's that all about? "
"There aren't many sects left now. In fact, even if there were real ones, they are already in decline."
Shen Jingyi said, "Most of them exist in the form of a family clan. For example, our family is like that. The people at home know how to work, so it's much easier to do things. "
"So that's how it is!" Ji Feng nodded slightly.
"In addition, there is also a group of martial artists that have entered the army. This is because they all have excellent martial arts skills and are doing quite well." Shen Jingyi said, "There are still some martial artists who would send powerful disciples to act as guards to protect their leaders."
"Then what is the level of that martial artist?" Ji Feng asked.
Shen Jingyi said, "Martial arts divides a martial artist into two major levels, precelestial and postcelestial. These two levels also have three stages, which are the early, middle, and late stages."
"So that's how it is... Then what's the difference between Innate and Pre-Sky Realm? " Ji Feng asked.
Shen Jingyi knew that Ji Feng was strong, so she didn't think much of his interest in Martial Arts.
"It's like this. The biggest difference between Pre-Sky Realm and Upper Sky Realm is whether you can cultivate it on your own..." Before Shen Jingyi could finish her words, Zhang Lei interrupted her.
"True qi?"
Zhang Lei asked in surprise, "Could it be the legendary inner force?"
"Yes, it can be called inner strength!"
Shen Jingyi slightly nodded her head and said, "From the beginning, they continuously practiced martial arts until they could cultivate on their own, the martial artists in this process are all called Houtian realm martial artists. Once a martial artist can cultivate on their own, they will become a Xiantian martial artist."
"What does it mean to be able to cultivate on one's own?" Ji Feng asked.
His interest was piqued. This martial arts forest was quite interesting. There were actually levels. It was just like the scenes on TV.
"Generally, as long as you have the correct chants and mental cultivation methods, it is not difficult to cultivate zhen qi. However, once you do not practice it for a period of time, the Houtian Zhen Qi will slowly dissipate and your strength will decline!"
Shen Jingyi said, "But, once a martial artist breaks through to the Xiantian realm, the zhenqi within their body will become extremely pure. More importantly, at this time, even if a martial artist does not practice for several months or several years, their strength will not decline. Furthermore, it will improve.
"In other words … The Houtian Zhen Qi will dissipate by itself, and the Xiantian Qi can absorb the energy from the outside, which is why there is such a difference in cultivation, am I right? " Ji Feng asked.
Thinking about what Tian Guodong's junior brother had said, he had heard about the Innate Qi from him the first time. He had also said that even a hundred warriors might not be able to produce one Innate Qi, which seemed to be very precious.
From the looks of it, the gap between the Upper Sky and the Pre-Sky Realm was really large.
"You're right!" Shen Jingyi nodded.
"Is the Innate Qi so powerful?" Zhang Lei's interest was also piqued, "Then if I become a Xiantian realm martial artist and continue cultivating, wouldn't I become a G.o.d?"
"Do you think it's so easy to break through to the Xiantian realm?" Shen Jingyi laughed while rolling her eyes at him. "Most martial artists might not be able to break through to the Xiantian realm in their lifetime. Even if some managed to break through, they'd still be stuck in the early stages."
"So ruthless?" Zhang Lei was stunned. "Then what level are you at?"
"Middle Houtian realm!" Shen Jingyi said.
"What about me?" Zhang Lei asked again, "Am I considered to be in the early Houtian realm?"
"Not really!"
Shen Jingyi said, "You don't even have zhenqi, so you can only be considered an outer sect martial artist. The levels and categories I'm talking about are all targeted at inner sect martial artists."
"What kind of joke is this?" Zhang Lei was slightly discontented, "Why is it that those who don't have zhenqi are outer sect warriors? Don't tell me those experts who practice the Great Strength Vajra Finger, Iron Palm, Golden Bell Cover, and so on, don't even have their levels?"
"Those martial arts that you mentioned also need true qi to be activated. Without true qi, they can only be considered as ordinary external martial arts!" Shen Jingyi said.
Zhang Lei's expression immediately fell, "..." Then what's the rank of the strongest person in your family? "
"My grandfather is at the peak of the late Houtian realm. He is just a step away from the Xiantian realm!"
Shen Jingyi said, "Now do you know why I want you to work so hard to increase your strength? With your current skills, you probably won't even be able to receive a single finger from my father. How will you be able to pa.s.s the test? "
"..." Zhang Lei opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
He thought he was already very strong, but now he realized that he couldn't even hold a finger. This was too much of a blow.
Seeing him like that, Ji Feng could not help but laugh: "Lei Zi, practice the exercise I gave you, you might also become an Upper Sky warrior!"
"d.a.m.n!" Is it that easy? "
Zhang Lei snorted, "Didn't you hear what Jingyi said? A large majority of martial artists are below the Xiantian realm, is my talent really that good?"
Ji Feng laughed, "If you persevere, who knows if a miracle might actually happen?"
"Forget it, don't comfort me."
Zhang Lei waved his hand and said, "I might not have that kind of talent, nor do I have any thoughts of reaching the Innate Realm to become a super expert. However, I will not give up. At the very least, I must pa.s.s through the test at Jingyi's house! "
Ji Feng shook his head with a smile. In fact, he knew that if what Shen Jingbin said was true, then the gap between the martial artists would be too great. The two sets of exercises taught by the intellectual brain would simply be like a direct train ride to heaven.
He clearly remembered that when he had finished the first set of exercise, he could already practice on his own. However, as Shen Jingyi had said, if he did not persevere in his training, his progress would be very slow. However, regardless, he could completely master the first set of exercise and enter the Xiantian realm!
As long as Zhang Lei could persevere, reaching the middle Houtian realm was an easy thing to do.
However, what Ji Feng was more interested in were the martial artists and guards that Shen Jingyi had mentioned.
He was very clear about the upper cla.s.s. It was said that many of the guards were martial arts experts. However, he didn't expect that there would really be martial arts experts, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
However, now that Shen Jingyi had said this, Ji Feng immediately understood.
It turned out that many of those guards with powerful martial arts came from these family clans or sects.
After thinking about it carefully, he understood that these sects and aristocratic families, if they wanted to do business, it was naturally the bigger the network, the better.
If they sent their family's disciples to be guards, then it was very likely that they would follow some important figures.
Thus, the network of friends slowly began to be established.
Of course, according to what Ji Feng knew, there were actually many hedonistic sons and private bosses who had more guards by their sides.
"Shen Jingyi, have you heard of a sect called the Dark Yin Sect?" Ji Feng suddenly asked.
Shen Jingyi was startled, "The Mystical Yin Sect? I've never heard of it. In fact, many sects have declined since the start of the war, and there were less interactions between them. Some of them simply did not interact with other sects, and instead went back to doing other things.
Ji Feng understood then. It seemed that this Black Yin Sect was a sect that didn't interact with the outside world. However, how did they get involved with the Qiao Family?
"Ding … …" Suddenly, Ji Feng's phone rang. He casually picked it up, "h.e.l.lo."
"Ji Feng, my dad is hospitalized at the First People's Hospital. I'm on my way there right now, but it will take about an hour. Since you're closer, can we go there first?" Xiao Yu Xuan's voice was very anxious.
