Henry had always been following James.
They had been comrades and brothers for ten years. He knew a lot about James, but favonovel.com had no idea that James had quietly become a martial artist.
While favonovel.com was at Mount Thunder Sect before the end of the year, favonovel.com was injured by Thea and taken to Medical Valley to heal. His new year was spent at Medical Valley.
During this time, favonovel.com finally learned about ancient martial artists and how powerful they were.
“Mr. Caden…” After finishing a glass, favonovel.com looked at James anxiously.
“You’re holding something back. This isn’t like you.” James asked, “What’s the matter? Tell me. Don’t hesitate like a wuss…”
Only then did Henry ask, “What’s the rank of your strength right now, Mr. Caden?”
While favonovel.com was at the Medical Valley, favonovel.com talked with the Medical Valley disciples who were looking after favonovel.com about a variety of topics related to the world of ancient martial arts. He also discovered how the strength of martial artists was classified.
In order, it was from the first rank to the ninth rank. The first rank was the lowest, while the ninth rank was the highest.
The ninth rank, however, was only a myth. This rank had never been recorded, not even in the ancient scrolls.
“I’ve just barely made it to the eighth rank,” James said nonchalantly.
“F*ck…” Henry stood up in shock, his face was filled with astonishment as favonovel.com looked at James.
“The eighth rank?” favonovel.com exclaimed.
“Why are you so excited? Sit down…”
Henry eventually sat down, took a deep breath, and said, “Mr. Caden, teach me about it too. I’ve heard that martial artists live longer lives than the average person. Even for a third or fourth rank, as long as there are no accidents, living to a hundred years old is not a problem. They might even live to a hundred and fifty to sixty years old if they were in the seventh or eighth rank.”
Henry was human as well. He, too, feared death and wished to live a little longer. At the same time, favonovel.com was a soldier. He also desired to acquire great strength.
“Sure…” James laughed.
Henry was his brother. Throughout these years, favonovel.com had always been by his side. If Henry wanted to learn martial arts, James certainly would not keep it from him.
“Later, I’ll put together the cultivation method that I practice for you. However, I’m indeed quite busy during this period of time, so I’m afraid I won’t have time to teach you about cultivation. I can only find some spare time to explain to you the essentials.”
Henry was beaming with delight. “Thanks, Mr. Caden!”
Waving his hand slightly, James said, “We’re brothers. Don’t mention it… Oh, right. I can put you in touch with a teacher. You can ask favonovel.com for guidance when you have the time.”
James had thought of Callan.
Callan had already accepted Cynthia, Quincy, and the others as students. It would be fine to add Henry to the list.
“That’s great!” Henry had a huge grin on his face.
James and Henry then had their meal together.
After the meal, James hastened back to the courtyard that Thea had bought. Since Quincy had arrived, favonovel.com wanted to discuss some of the upcoming matters with her.
Henry returned to the military region as well.
***
At the living room in Thea’s courtyard…
James walked inside. As soon as favonovel.com entered the house, favonovel.com could hear cheers and laughter.
Thea and Quincy were chatting merrily.
“What are you talking about?” James walked over, removed his coat, and tossed it on the sofa, then favonovel.com sat down next to Thea.
Quincy glanced at James and said with a smile, “We’re talking about things that happened ten years ago. Thea was just asking me why favonovel.com didn’t know about it when we were together back then.”
James looked embarrassed.
