Chapter 654: Martial Arts Three Realm, I Am the Grandmaster (Seeking Monthly Votes and Subscriptions)_1
Jinye Pei would flip through the books brought by Sima Yingjun whenever he had some free time. The descriptions of the human body were no different from those in the Federation World.
However, there were indeed many differences regarding Martial Arts.
In the process of chatting with Sima Yingjun, Jinye Pei did not reveal his ignorance of the Martial Arts Realm, but he still successfully fished for information.
In this world, the practice of Martial Arts was known as the Three Steps of Palace Knocking, specifically External Training and Internal Strengthening, Harmonious Muscles and Bones, and the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound.
It was only after coming to the Sima family that Jinye Pei completely understood… those members of the Fish Dragon Gang were weak as trash, and even the information they had was incorrect.
This world had third-rate experts, second-rate experts, and first-rate experts.
Martial Arts Masters, although a somewhat special existence, generally reached the level of External Training and Internal Strengthening, which placed them among second-rate experts.
One could enter the ranks of first-rate experts by achieving Harmonious Muscles and Bones.
As for Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound, it corresponded to the Grandmaster.
It wasn’t like Martial Arts was something beyond first-rate.
No wonder Jinye Pei found it strange at the beginning; could it be that the third-rate and second-rate experts did not practice Martial Arts?
“The Fish Dragon Gang is indeed foolish!”
“However, it seems there is a realm above the Sect Master…”
Jinye Pei narrowed his gaze, deep in thought.
Currently, most of the Chief Offerings in the Internal Court of the Sima family were at the level of External Training and Internal Strengthening.
According to Sima Yingjun, that Chief Offering surnamed Xiao was only at the level of Harmonious Muscles and Bones.
He closed the book.
Jinye Pei fell into contemplation.
The fundamental practice of this world was to explore the limits of the Physical Body, further enhancing the body’s strength.
“External Training and Internal Strengthening and Harmonious Muscles and Bones are indeed similar to the effects of the Lower Three Realm and Middle Three Realm in the Federation World…”
“But there are subtle differences…”
“Currently, I am at the level of Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound… but I still need to identify and address any deficiencies.”
“No matter.”
“As my Physical Body grows stronger, this process of identifying and addressing deficiencies means I need to keep going. What I need to do is to integrate all the methods of Physical Body Martial Arts… to cultivate my very own strongest technique!”
The effect of the Red Blood Carp was very good; drinking two bowls tonight had restored him a hundred points.
With more, he could quickly return to his peak.
Jinye Pei had already made it clear to Sima Yingjun that he did not need money, only to exchange the money for nourishing items like the Red Blood Carp.
So, from now on, he would be able to consume nourishing items every day and quickly grow stronger.
The next morning, Jinye Pei heard some sounds.
He followed them.
He arrived at an open space by the mountain, approximately two to three hundred square meters, which was clearly the practice field Sima Yingjun mentioned.
The entire practice field was paved with blue stone slabs, and there were clear signs of repair at the center of the field.
A few young people, who did not appear to be very old, were practicing with great vigor. A middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance wore a dark green martial robe and was giving pointers next to a young man who was practicing his punches.
Although the middle-aged man was just standing there loosely, Jinye Pei could still sense the significant Vitality fluctuations emanating from him.
It seemed that he had noticed something.
The middle-aged man, who had been standing loosely, suddenly turned his head, and his gaze met Jinye Pei’s.
In that instant, he felt a threat looming over his back and his face changed slightly.
At that moment, Sima Yingjun’s voice resounded from the corridor, “Master Pei, I went to find you but couldn’t, so I guessed you would be here.”
“Young master.”
“We greet the young master.”
When the others nearby saw Sima Yingjun running over with a small fan in hand, they all stopped what they were doing and hurriedly greeted him.
Sima Yingjun quickly approached Jinye Pei, and the middle-aged man also nodded slightly when he saw him, “Greetings to the young master.”
“Master Li, since you’re also here, let me introduce you. This is Master Pei, the new Chief.” Sima Yingjun took the initiative to introduce him.
The middle-aged man was slightly taken aback and then seriously clasped his fist to Jinye Pei, “So you are Chief Pei, it’s an honor to meet you.”
“An honor, Master Li,” Jinye Pei clasped his fist in return.
Li Pinghe surreptitiously sized up Jinye Pei, his surprise being primarily due to Jinye Pei’s age.
He looked very young.
Seeming to be in his twenties.
But how had the young master just introduced him… as the Chief!
To be a Chief, naturally one had to have the strength of that Master Xiao.
So could this young man truly be that strong…
But Li Pinghe
The Sima family could not have reached their current status if they were easily satisfied with trivial tokens.
This Master Pei must have some capabilities, or else the Sima family would not have invited him to be their Chief.
The other young people also widened their eyes, curiously looking at Jinye Pei.
“A Chief? And so young?”
“He looks even younger than me…”
“There must be some mistake…”
Sima Yingjun frowned.
But before he could speak up, Li Pinghe angrily reprimanded them, “All of you shut up! Show some respect to Chief Pei!”
“We have seen Chief Pei.”
The voices were scattered and sparse.
Some people might not acknowledge him.
Pei Jinye’s smile remained unchanged, but Sima Yingjun’s face showed some displeasure. “Did none of you eat breakfast this morning? Or are you just not convinced?”
“Young master, it’s not that I doubt your judgment, but we really are not convinced. This person… is simply too young,” said someone from the crowd, standing their ground.
“You!”
Sima Yingjun was about to get angry, but Pei Jinye interrupted him.
“I can understand your emotions. Since that is the case, don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. Come at me all at once.”
The crowd was stunned.
“Chief Pei, they are young and impulsive, not knowing how to hold back,” Li Pinghe tried to smooth things over in a hurry.
Surprisingly, Pei Jinye just slightly shook his head.
“I don’t like idle talk. Come and fight me.”
“Fine! Since Chief Pei has said so, don’t blame us for making a move. But let’s get it straight first; Chief Pei, you can’t hold this against us later on,” someone couldn’t help but say.
Pei Jinye urged, “Quit the nagging and hurry up!”
Sima Yingjun quickly added, “Master Pei, please take it easy later… Treating their injuries will cost quite a bit.”
A few young people were provoked, their faces reddening with anger.
Even the young master didn’t think highly of them.
Fine then!
If they beat Chief Pei, what would he say then?
They looked at each other and then charged forward.
All of them roaring out loud.
Like naive, rampant calves, they had an impressive momentum.
Li Pinghe stood next to Sima Yingjun, somewhat worried… but noticing the concern on Sima Yingjun’s face, he felt something was off and could only watch intently, ready to intervene if anything happened to Teacher Pei.
Several figures charged at him, but Pei Jinye stood still.
To deal with these young ones, he didn’t even need to use weapons.
After all, he was a good seedling personally trained by a Martial Arts Master. If that was the case, then they should experience the martial arts of this world.
A hand extended plainly.
But with just that one movement, Li Pinghe’s expression changed drastically.
Almost instantaneously, he sensed the terror of this Teacher Pei standing before him.
To put it bluntly,
if Teacher Pei wanted to, he could kill all these brats in a blink of an eye.
“Pei—”
He had barely uttered a word,
when those figures rushing forward were already flying backward like birds with clipped wings.
Thudding sounds of heavy bodies hitting the ground echoed.
The martial training field was dead silent.
Meanwhile, Pei Jinye stood his ground, nonchalantly turning his head to look at Li Pinghe, “What were you saying just now, Master Li?”
Li Pinghe came back to his senses, closed his mouth, and with a bitter smile bowed with clasped hands, “Thank you, Chief Pei, for the lesson. These lads are used to being cocky without the skills to back it up; they haven’t seen much of the real world and are impetuous. With Chief Pei’s teaching today, they will hopefully grow wiser in the future.”
Pei Jinye stood with his hands behind his back, as if he had just done a trivial thing. These young people hadn’t even reached the stage of External Training and Internal Strengthening.
With just a moment’s effort, he could already sense their fragility.
But it was undeniable that, even though these men hadn’t achieved the level of External Training and Internal Strengthening, they were still stronger than the martial artists of the Federation World who had undergone Power Practice and Exfoliation.
Pei Jinye speculated that the Federation World placed emphasis on Extraordinary-Human Genes, which in a way made the physical body somewhat fragile.
That’s also why Transcendents of the Body Technique System found it easier to train in martial arts, but no one dared to easily step into the Upper Third Realms.
The fragility of the physical body simply could not withstand the ravages brought about by cultivation.
Pei Jinye left with a waning interest, while Sima Yingjun thought he was somewhat displeased and quickly gave chase.
“Young master…” Li Pinghe’s expression also changed slightly.
But Sima Yingjun only had eyes for the great expert Pei Jinye; not caring about him, Li Pinghe could only sigh deeply, calling the servants to hurry and treat the injured.
“Master Li…”
A group of young people lay on the ground, faces pale with pain.
Li Pinghe shook his head, “Stop with the long faces. If Chief Pei had wanted to, you would all be dead by now. He simply doesn’t bother with you. Also, all of you restrain your thoughts. Do you really think that just because the Sima family selected you, you are great experts? There are always higher heavens and stronger people out there. Chief Pei’s lesson today was exactly this point. Do you understand?”
“We understand…”
The group of young men hung their heads in dejection.
As they were carried away by others, their cries and howls filled the air.
“Take it easy, damn it!”
