678 The Three Martial Arts Grandmaster Realms (2/2)

”You are indeed a little beast. You have no idea what team spirit is…” Bu Xingyi looked unhappy at being mocked by so many people. He was embarrassed and furious and could not hold back his vile words.

However, he had barely begun to speak when there was a gust of cold wind that caused the air around them to freeze. The extreme coldness almost turned him into an ice sculpture. The coldness was so intense that his body stiffened.

”How rude.” Mo Wen's tall figure appeared in front of Bu Xingyi. There was lightning jumping around the figure and he exuded a destructive and cold aura, towering over Bu Xingyi like a mountain.

Bu Xingyi first reaction was to fight. However, he suddenly realized that Mo Wen's aura was absolutely terrifying. It was close to that of a martial arts grandmaster. It was completely unlike the power a warrior at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm should have.

Bu Xingyi froze and was powerless to react when a palm rushed towards him.

Slap! The strike threw Bu Xingyi into the air and he smashed down heavily onto the ground.

Mo Wen looked at Bu Xingyi, towering over him. His eyes were extremely cold. ”I can save you and I can also kill you. I would have killed you earlier if it had been the right time.”

.

Bu Xingyi covered his face with his hand as he looked at Mo Wen in disbelief. He had not expected that Mo Wen would dare to strike him so suddenly. He had been even less prepared to realize that the gap in ability between himself and Mo Wen was so wide. He had been struck by this youth in front of everyone and he felt like dying then.

”You…just…wait…” Bu Xingyi glared venomously at Mo Wen, his eyes red with anger. He wanted to tear Mo Wen into pieces. He desired nothing more than to turn him into ashes. He had fallen so much that he was being bullied by a youth. He was a martial arts grandmaster but was being treated in such a manner by someone so much younger than him. He wanted to leave this place immediately. Then, he would capture Mo Wen and torture him every day and at every moment.

Tan Qiyue, who had not spoken all this while, now shared his thoughts. ”Bu Xingyi, you are an embarrassment to martial arts grandmasters. If something goes wrong with this task because of you, I will definitely kill you.”

Bu Xingyi was furious. ”Who are you to criticize me?” he asked bitterly. He had not expected a random person to dare to mock him.

Tan Qiyue spoke steadily and lightly. ”You'd better be more polite. I can not only kill you now, but I can also kill you after we leave this space as well.”

Bu Xingyi turned around to see that it was Tan Qiyue who had spoken. ”I…I am from the Ming Temple…” he stammered awkwardly. His pupils shrunk and he weakened further. Even though he did not know who the old man who had just spoken was, Bu Xingyi could tell that he was truly capable of killing him.

Even though they were both martial arts grandmasters, there were large differences in power between them.

There wasn't a difference in standards when one reached the martial arts grandmaster stage. However, there were three realms.

The first martial arts grandmaster realm was called Reaching the Peak. That was the realm one entered when they first became a martial arts grandmaster. The number of martial arts grandmaster in this realm was higher than the number in the other realms. Usually, martial arts grandmasters would not progress any further and would remain in this realm.

However, there was a small probability that some martial arts grandmasters might continue on their path. Then they would enter the Realm of Clarity, the second of the martial arts grandmaster realms. About one in ten martial arts grandmasters would be able to continue on to the Realm of Clarity.

Of course, the Realm of Clarity was not the end. The highest realm was the third ream, called the Realm of Wisdom.

One could say that martial arts grandmasters in the Realm of Wisdom were the most powerful warriors in the world. One needed to be in a fascinating state in order to reach this realm. This state was the heart of wisdom. It was like a clueless beast that suddenly became aware. Warriors in the Realm of Wisdom had gained knowledge and could sense and touch things in the world that regular people could not. They might be able to touch a different world.

Legend had it that martial arts grandmasters who could reach the Realm of Wisdom would have an 80 percent chance of becoming deities as long as they lived long enough and were enlightened about enough things.

However, of all the martial arts grandmasters, it would be difficult to find even one person who could reach the Realm of Wisdom. Even if there was a martial arts grandmaster who could reach this realm, they would have already hidden from the world to focus on learning the secrets of the universe and improving themselves to become deities. As such, even if there were martial arts grandmasters in the Realm of Wisdom, it would be impossible to find them in the secular world.

Bu Xingyi feared Tan Qiyue so much because Tan Qiyue had reached the second martial arts grandmaster realm, the Realm of Clarity. It would not be difficult for Tan Qiyue to kill him no matter the circumstances.

Bu Xingyi had mentioned the Ming Temple in order to save himself from such a powerful martial arts grandmaster. Tan Qiyue could disregard him, but surely he would not disregard the Ming Temple.
