Chapter 854: Chapter 854 High Martial World
Li Feng shrugged his shoulders: "Whatever you say!"
"Take him to the confinement room."
"Yes!"
A few Falcon team members directly escorted Li Feng away. Wang Zhenggang glanced at Huang Jiuling, who returned the glance, and Wang Zhenggang understood immediately, eagerly following in his car.
He was filled with curiosity right now.
For example, how did Li Feng manage to infiltrate the base, hack into the base’s system without being detected, and also, how did he learn to fly a plane?
Huang Jiuling turned around to look at Hua Jiufeng: "Everyone is here, just announce it."
Hua Jiufeng nodded.
"You are the top thirty-six selected from the division, one in a hundred elites, masters, but in our view, you are still far from enough."
"Perhaps in the Southeast division, you think you are very strong, but I must tell you, in other divisions, your level is merely average or below."
"Even if we select the ten strongest among you to represent our Southeast division, the final result might still be a complete defeat, just stepping stones for others."
Hua Jiufeng started by belittling them.
Huang Jiuling watched from behind; old Hua, having been away from the troops for so long, has gotten soft. If it were him, he’d have gone straight up and called these youngsters trash, severely berated them, and let them know there’s always someone stronger, always a higher sky.
Huang Jiuling’s earlier actions were also intended to wake these arrogant guys up a bit; they’re still far from enough.
"Old Hua, is Hua Wushuang’s level also just average?"
Someone brought up Hua Wushuang, after all, Hua Wushuang is recognized as invincible below the Grandmaster, although a bit exaggerated, Hua Wushuang serves as a benchmark.
Hua Jiufeng glanced at the crowd but didn’t pursue, speaking indifferently.
"There are some things that should be told to you, otherwise you’ll be like frogs at the bottom of a well, only seeing the sky above your heads."
"Wushuang’s strength is stronger than anyone present, but at most, his power only steps into the Profound level Martial Artist stage."
"And you are all merely Yellow level Martial Artists."
"Profound level, Yellow level?"
Someone looked puzzled, as the established system within the National Martial Arts circle consists of Ming Jin, Dark Strength, Hua Jin, and then Innate Grandmaster.
Hua Jiufeng, of course, knew what these people were thinking, so he slowly spoke.
"What we usually refer to as Ming Jin, Dark Strength, and Hua Jin, and even quasi-grandmaster, all belong to the Yellow Martial category."
"This system is divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. Yellow Martial is the lowest. Ming Jin, Dark Strength, Hua Jin correspond to the three small phases of Yellow Martial, with the quasi-grandmaster at perfection."
"The Yellow Martial stage focuses on tempering muscles and bones, strengthening the physique, and practicing the application of force, serving as a foundation for martial arts."
"The Profound Martial level reaches a higher stage, refining inner strength and releasing it outwards. Wushuang’s mastery of returning to the essence is merely a natural manifestation of his spirit and energy. He cannot fully control it, manipulating it at will, so at most, he’s at this stage, with an unstable foundation."
"Above Profound Martial, there is Earth Martial, Heavenly Martial, and even higher levels beyond these. You are merely at the starting point of the martial arts path."
As Hua Jiufeng explained this system, all the contestants’ eyes widened.
It turns out that beneath what they thought of as a grandmaster, there was merely the Profound Martial level, while the strength they were proud of was merely a few small ranks of Yellow Martial.
Ming Jin is equivalent to Yellow Martial one to three ranks, Dark Strength four to six, Hua Jin seven to nine, and the quasi-grandmaster is the perfection of Yellow Martial.
Hua Wushuang, who possesses the Grandmaster Realm, at best has only comprehended the Profound Martial level, and even then, his foundation is shaky.
They thought that being a Grandmaster was the ultimate, but now Hua Wushuang tells them that a Grandmaster is nothing. Beyond a Grandmaster, there is Earth Martial, Heavenly Martial, and even greater power above Heavenly Martial.
"Old Hua, is there anything stronger than a Profound Level Martial Artist in our world?"
"Yes, according to what Old Hua said, a Grandmaster is not much. Yet, as far as I know, in the Yan Country’s National Martial Arts circle, a Grandmaster is a rarity, so isn’t the Profound Martial already the pinnacle, and Earth Martial and Heavenly Martial just empty promises?"
"Indeed, we have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and those who can comprehend Dark Strength in their twenties are already considered geniuses. Ordinary people might never master Dark Strength in their lifetime."
"Not to mention Hua Jin and Grandmasters."
The contestants came from the Southeast Five Provinces and one city, some from martial arts schools, others from National Martial Arts families, yet none were ever informed of this.
The contestants from the Xu Family in Jingmen remained calm, even feeling a bit of contempt for the people around them who were discussing vigorously.
A bunch of frogs in a well.
This system was not something Hua Jiufeng made up; it has existed for a long time, differing from the secular world as it originates from the High Martial World.
Though existing on the same earth, there indeed are numerous world circles within the human-centric world.
Much like the social hierarchy.
The elite circle is full of wealthy and influential families, while ordinary people might never cross into this circle in their lifetime.
The real secular world is a big world, while the High Martial World comprises a world formed by another circle of people.
This National Martial Arts Martial Arts Tournament is actually a ticket to enter this High Martial World. The Xu Family in Jingmen is also a family within the High Martial World, and selecting people to enter the High Martial World is also for expanding their own power.
Hua Jiufeng faced these doubts with understanding since this was equivalent to two separate worlds.
However, he did not elaborate on the existence of the High Martial World, as these people had yet to set even half a foot in. Speaking further offers no benefit.
"Alright, telling you this is to let you understand there’s always someone stronger, always a higher sky. You are still far behind."
"The reason you were arranged to come here is to undergo special training."
"Special training?"
"That’s right, while you have honed your martial arts since childhood and are very satisfied with your skills, honestly, the martial arts you’ve learned are merely techniques, soulless techniques."
"Even if your punches and kicks are powerful, there will be bottlenecks. Under normal circumstances, breaking through is difficult. If change isn’t accomplished, your end might just be the pinnacle of Yellow Martial."
"The martial arts path is not trained through a single technique."
"Sparring with others helps to some extent but is limited in improvement. Coming here aims to push you to your limits, allowing significant growth."
Hua Jiufeng explained in detail.
"You will undergo a month of special training here. After a month, there will be a thirty-six-to-ten selection battle, and the winners will have the qualification to enter the national finals."
"Only by entering the national finals do you qualify to know more."
"I have already given you the chance to choose, so now, there’s only one path for you, to obey orders. From now on, I won’t intervene in any follow-up matters, see you in a month."
"I hope you can all persist until then."
After saying this, Hua Jiufeng stepped back, and Huang Jiuling stepped forward, sweeping the entire field with his tiger eyes.
