Chapter 3: Deep Affection and Sweetness (Part 2)

Deep Affection (Part 2)

"Next month, Martial Venerable Bai Mu of Yuehua City will be coming to our Yayu City. When the time comes, I will let you go to meet him and see if you have any opportunity..." This sentence was his true point. As soon as these words were spoken, Lady Mei and Lady Wu, who had just received the news, were instantly filled with pleasant surprise.

Even Yi was slightly surprised.

This world was not the same as the world she was familiar with. Aside from people still looking the same, everything else was vastly different.

It was not that scientifically advanced modern world, nor was it a pedantic world where women were considered virtuous only if they lacked talent and never stepped foot outside their doors. This was a world of blood and fire, where the strong were respected above all else.

People respected the strong. Take Zhu Tingxu, for example; he was merely born of a concubine, and even his biological mother had died a tragic death due to inner-court struggles, yet no one cared. But because he had become an eleventh-level Martial Master, he could enter the clan, avenge his mother, have his own say within the Zhu family, and marry whomever he desired.

This world had martial arts, but they were not the same as the Chinese martial arts she knew. Those were merely names—techniques used to improve individual combat power and fighting ability. Almost everyone in this world could practice them, but the methods of cultivation and the levels one could reach varied greatly.

Some were born with divine strength; such people might naturally start at the first or second level of martial arts. Through continuous training in strength, speed, technique, and even experience, they could easily reach the third level.

Every four levels served as a watershed: from zero to three, four to seven, eight to eleven, and twelve to fifteen. Every time one crossed a watershed, the achievements were fundamentally different.

In this world, reaching the third level was actually quite ordinary. Most children could reach the first level by the age of seven, and by the age of ten, a small portion could reach the third level. By the age of fifteen, unless one was a waste or disabled, most were at the third level.

However, the vast majority of people would likely never cross the third level to reach the fourth.

Levels four to seven were generally called Martial Soldiers, eight to eleven were called Martial Masters, and twelve to fifteen were called Martial Venerables. Anything above that was something Yi had never heard of.

As far as she knew currently, Martial Venerable was the most powerful existence known.

When ordinary people took disciples, they would typically choose those around fifteen years of age, because at that age, one's potential could be clearly seen.
