Martial Realms

Elder Zu discuss and show them on how they can easily flow their Qi into their body first. She ended up doing teaching them about it for the entire period.

In their first day of class, Li Ming and the rest had two classes to attend. After Elder Zu's class, there is a two our break before the next class which is the combat class. In combat class, they will taught on basic to advance fighting techniques.

After taking their break, Li Ming and the rest went to an arena. It was like the arena where Li Ming fought against Mo Sheng earlier this day. But it is just a little bit smaller than that arena. The elder that will teach them is called Elder Sun. It was the same elder that Li Ming notices that were watching him earlier in his fight against Mo Sheng. Of course Li Ming didn't knew that it was that elder as he didn't directly saw his face.

When Elder Sun saw Li Ming, he instantly gave him a curious glance. He was still curious about this young man who defeated Mo Sheng easily. So as their Elder that would be teaching them, he plans to investigate Li Ming closely.

"Before I start on teaching you combat, I will fist discuss to you about the levels or realms that a martial artists can reach. You must know that your talent is directly proportional to the realm that you can reach. The higher your talent is, the higher and faster you can achieve as a martial artists. A grade S talent can easily climb up in realm while those who have C grade talent will be having a very hard time"

"There are a total of eight realms in martial arts. The first one is Martial Apprentice, as this is the first step on becoming a true martial artist, most of you might think that you are already in this realm. But I'm telling you right now that you are still not. So you need to train diligently to reach this realm. Those who entered this realm will become a lot stronger than ordinary humans. They will have the strength of 20 adult tigers"

"The next realm is Martial Escort, in this realm you will have the ability to condense your Qi in your attacks making it even more powerful. I will remind you that condensing your Qi is a very hard thing to do. Reaching this realm you will have the strength of 50 adult tigers. After Martial Escort is the Martial Fighter. Managing to become a Martial Fighter, one can proclaim that they finally become a true martial artists. Those who become a Martial Fighter is extremely powerful individual. Our country have a reserve position just for those who reach this realm. At the same time, many martial artists of this level created their own group or organization. A Martial Fighter had the strength of 100 adult tigers"

"Next realm is the Martial Soldier, upon reaching this realm, a martial artists will have an ability to awaken their elements. There are five basic elements which are the fire, water, earth, wind, and lightning. Aside from this five elements, there is also the rare elements which those who are talented enough and has a unique bloodline had. They will also had the strength of 200 adult tigers. The next realm is Martial Warrior, reaching this realm will grant the martial artists the ability to step in the sky and fly. They will also be able to create a small domain 20 meters around them which can explosively increase their battle capabilities. A Martial Warrior had a strength of 200 adult tigers"

"The next realm is called Martial Lord, this is the realm that our headmaster currently is now. Being a Martial Lord, you will become a peerless expert that can roam freely in both the lands and the skies. Your ability to create domain will also be increased and you can also put your elements in the domain you created. If you have a fire element, you can create a burning domain which spans hundreds of meters from you that can burn everything in it easily. The only problem is reaching this realm is a very difficult task. You will have to depend solely to your understanding to reach this realm. But if you reach this realm, you will had the strength of 10 dragons. You can even easily blow up a hole in a mountain if you wanted to"

"I already told you the first six realm out of eight. The other two I won't tell you for now as you are still far away from reaching that. Plus with your talent, it is unlikely that you will even reach the third realm" as Elder Sun discuss about the realms of martial arts. Everyone were listening carefully while their eyes were glittering in excitement just imagining it. But there is also hint is disappointment in their eyes as they knew that they can only reach a certain realm with their low talents.

"Then Elder what realm are you in now?" one female student ask. Everyone were also curious about what realm Elder Sun is now so they perked up their ears to listen carefully.

"Because of this old man's low talent, I am only at Martial Soldier realm" although Elder Sun's words seems to be polite. There was still a hint of pride in his tone. It was clear that he was quite proud of himself for reaching this realm.

"Elder from what you've told us, once one reach the Martial Soldier they will be awaken their elements. Can elder demonstrate to us what your element is" everyone were also quite interested in what elements Elder Sun had.

"Alright I will show you guys" Elder Sun's long robe started to flutter and the whole area was filled with strong winds. Everyone watch as Elder Sun's feet slowly rise from the ground. "As you can see, I have awaken wind element. You must be curious on how I can fly even though I have not reach Martial Warrior realm. The truth is I am not completely flying, I am only using my wind element to make myself levitate for a certain amount of time. Unlike flying, levitating uses tremendous amount of Qi to maintain it and you can be easily exhausted using it"

Elder Sun then slowly goes down with a light smile on his face. Looking the admiration that his students were giving to him, he felt quite happy and proud of himself.

"Okay now that you now knew some of the martial artists realms, it is now time to teach you some fighting techniques. As today was your first day in the academy, I will not be too hard for you guys. The first technique I will teach you is called 'Basic Fist Techniques'. I will first show you all of its forms before you try it yourself. After that I will hand each of you a copy of it and you will need to train it alone. In next week you will perform it in front of me so that I can see if there is any progress in your training" Elder Sun then started to perform the fist techniques while everyone started to watch intently.

Li Ming on the other hand found it funny as Elder Sun demonstrate the fist technique. WHen Elder Sun noticed that Li Ming was laughing at him, he couldn't help but frown but he still continues his demonstration.

After demonstrating it, Elder Sun looked at everyone and said, "Now that I demonstrated it, it is now your turn to perform it. Don't worry if you make any mistakes I am here to correct you"

The students then started performing the fist technique that Elder Sun just demonstrated. Chen Yu perform it in an unenthusiastic manner, while Xie Ming perform it willingly.
