Chapter 1658 Martial Arts World

Chapter 1658 Martial Arts World

Wan Shun began explaining the real martial arts world to Xiao Tian. He said the martial arts world was like what Xiao Tian had guessed.

It was a place for martial artists to show off their skills and determine who was the strongest among them.

However, the martial arts world of ordinary martial artists was not the real martial arts world because their fight was like ordinary people's fight.

They could not fly.

They could not use the energy of heaven and earth.

And they could not destroy a mountain.

Their fight was only a little better than ordinary people's fight.

However, it was a different story for candidates to be the Ruler.

Their fight was very dangerous because they could use the energy of heaven and earth to the fullest.

They could destroy a mountain easily.

They could fly like people in movies.

And they could kill many ordinary martial artists easily.

Basically, they were like gods because they could do impossible things.

This was the difference between the real martial arts world and the fake one.

"In front of candidates to be the Ruler, ordinary martial artists are like ants." Wan Shun uttered, "Even candidates to be the Ruler at Master stage can kill ordinary martial artists at Grandmaster stage easily."

"What?!" Xiao Tian said in surprise.

In theory, it should be impossible for martial artists at the master stage to defeat martial artists at the grandmaster stage because the difference in strength between them was huge.

He just did not expect Wan Shun to say something like that. Wan Shun even said they could defeat martial artists at the Grandmaster stage easily.

"Of course, they should at least reach the fifth stage, or else it's hard to do that." Wan Shun added.

"Fifth stage? Are there stages for candidates to become the Ruler?" Xiao Tian asked curiously.

Wan Shun nodded his head. "There are seven stages in total. The first stage is to feel the energy of heaven and earth. The second stage is to absorb the energy of heaven and earth into martial arts points."

He then continued, "The third stage is channeling energy throughout our body. The fourth stage is to touch the energy of heaven and earth. The fifth stage is to become one with the energy of heaven and earth."

Xiao Tian paid attention to Wan Shun's words carefully so that he would not forget it.

"The sixth stage is to release the energy from inside out bodies to the outside and the last stage is to manipulate the energy of heaven and earth." Wan Shun explained all the stages to Xiao Tian.

Wan Ying, who was reading a cultivation novel next to her grandpa, uttered, "The names of these stages are not cool." 

Xiao Tian shifted his gaze from Wan Shun to Wan Ying.

Wan Ying then continued, "Why don't just name it with Foundation Establishment stage, Golden Core stage, Nascent Soul stage, Divine Transformation stage, Void Return stage, Tribulation Transcendence stage, and Immortal stage? Aren't these names much cooler?"

The corner of Xiao Tian's lips twitched.

But even so, he agreed that these names were much cooler. However, it was much harder to remember because each stage had a different name. 

The original names were much easier to remember because it was only the first stage, second stage and so on.

Wan Shun pinched his granddaughter's cheeks before finally speaking, "Don't just say as you please. Just read your novel."

Wan Ying removed his hands from her cheeks. "You are not fun, grandpa."

"By the way, elder. You already have a granddaughter, but you still look young. Is it related to energy of heaven and earth?" Xiao Tian was curious about it.

"You might not believe it, but I'm already sixty years old now." Wan Shun gave an honest answer.

"Sixty years old?" Xiao Tian said in surprise.

Previously, he thought Wan Shun was in his fifties, but he was wrong because he was in his sixties.

"When you reach the fifth stage, your body will age very slowly because impurities will leave your body." Wan Shun told Xiao Tian the reason why he still looked young. "I reached fifth stage in my forties. That's why I still look like I'm in my forties." 

Xiao Tian got another new information.

'Wait! If I reach fifth stage in my twenties, doesn't that mean I will forever look young?'

An unexpected happiness consumed him.

"Elder, at what stage can I run or stand on water?" Xiao Tian threw another question at Wan Shun. 

"Third stage." At this moment, Wan Shun believed Xiao Tian wanted to know what stage Lan Ruoxi was at.

"Then at what stage can I fly like you?" Xiao Tian inquired.

"Seventh stage." Wan Shun gave an honest answer again. "In the last stage, you are already like a god and close to be the Ruler."

"Does that mean you are already like god now?" Wan Shun could fly, so Xiao Tian knew he was already at the last stage.

Before Wan Shun could answer Xiao Tian's question, Wan Ying uttered, "What do you mean by saying he is already like a god? He is just an old man who only know to bully me."

Like before, Wan Shun pinched his granddaughter's cheeks again. "When did I bully you? Didn't I spoil you until now?" 

"Spoil me? You force me to practice martial arts every day. You even forbid me from getting out of the island." Wan Ying responded, "Look! You are even bullying me right now?"

"I did it for your sake." Wan Shun responded, "And I'm only pinching your cheeks? Is doesn't count as bullying you?"

Wan Ying removed his hands from her cheeks. "In my eyes, that counts as bullying me."

"Hehe." Xiao Tian and Qiao Luli laughed.

'It seems like they have good relationship.'

They said in their minds.

After talking for more than two hours, Wan Shun and Wan Ying returned home.

----

The next day, Xiao Tian and Qiao Luli went to Kingstrie Lake again. To their surprise, they saw Wan Ying sitting under a big tree and reading a cultivation novel.

Wan Ying did not notice them because she was focused on reading her novel.

"Ying, what are you doing here?" Qiao Luli asked as she walked toward her.

Wan Ying rose to her feet and rushed toward them. "Big brother Qing, Luli..."

She was pleased when she saw them.

Actually, she was waiting for them. 

There were two reasons why she wanted to meet them again.

First, she was lonely. There were only experimental beasts on the island besides his grandfather. 

In other words, she had no one to talk to if her grandpa went out to look for food.

And last, she wanted to try some of the food mentioned in the novel.

Xiao Tian said that he was rich, so she wanted him to treat her to all the food mentioned in the novel because she was curious about it.

"I'm waiting for you." Wan Ying gave an honest answer.

"Where is your grandfather?" Xiao Tian inquired.

"I don't know. Big brother Qing, I want to eat the food mentioned in the novel. Can you buy it for me?" Wan Yin showed the food to Xiao Tian.

"Do you want to buy it together?" he asked.

Before Wan Ying could answer his question, Wan Shun's voice rang out. "Where do you want to go?"
