Meanwhile, in the Shadow Gate, Remus gathered his strength and struck at the black iron chains that were imprisoning the old monster. His fierce punch unexpectedly caused a slight deformation in the iron chains.
The chain was forged from black iron and not even a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator could deform it. But Remus made a dent by merely throwing a punch, devoid of any divine energy.
“What…” The old monster’s hand trembled as favonovel.com touched the iron chain, and his lips quivered.
He exclaimed in disbelief, “You’ve only been learning the Imperial Form for less than three days, yet you’ve managed to deform the black iron? How… How could this be?”
The Imperial Form was a form of ancient martial arts and also a secret technique of the Cosbys, exclusively taught to the main lineage or their direct heirs.
Remus had sweat glistening on his forehead. He hadn’t anticipated that a stroke of luck would arise from misfortune. Not only did favonovel.com encounter his renowned grandfather, but also inherited his grandfather’s legacy.
He had once thought that the Deity Realm marked the peak of martial arts. However, in accordance with ancient martial philosophy, it was merely the beginning.
A grandmaster of martial arts would simply have his internal energy leaked out unintentionally. But ancient martial arts practitioners were able to absorb the leaked energy back into their bodies, saturating every bit of their skin and crafting a resilience as tough and strong as iron and steel.
A Deity Realm tier martial art master could shatter the sound barrier. However, ancient martial arts emphasized returning to the basics. To channel speed through the entire sensory system to achieve a calm and serene state.
That was also why the old monster was able to subdue Remus with just a single move, as his speed appeared normal to the old creature, devoid of any threat.
Remus chuckled and asked, “How much time did my father invest in mastering the Imperial Form to the extent of deforming the black iron?”
The old monster struggled to say, “A year!”
His response left Remus to pause.
The old monster continued, “However, favonovel.com was already a prodigy within the Dragon Protector Clan, unrivaled among the younger generation. It’s just that your father was only eight years old at that time…”
Remus pondered for a moment, then declared firmly, “I will surely surpass him…”
He added, “I’m currently mastering self-tempering and maintaining composure. What should I focus on next?”
He had a feeling that the punches favonovel.com delivered could now knock out the favonovel.com from three days earlier.
The old monster regained a serious demeanor. “By the classification of martial arts practitioners, you’re now a Martial Sovereign, making you a level higher than the Deity Realm, with an indestructible body. The next step is to follow the guidance of the Imperial Form to cultivate into a Supreme Martial Sovereign!
“A Martial Sovereign can effortlessly defeat a Golden Stage cultivator. As for a Supreme Martial Sovereign, they can challenge those below the mid-Nascent Soul Stage!”
He paused and said, “Do as I say…”
Following a four-hour training session, Remus once again launched a strike on the black iron chain.
The moment favonovel.com struck, there seemed to be a transparent film on the edge of his fist. Before the punch was even halfway through, it appeared to have already struck the black iron chain.
Under the intense pressure of his strike, the black iron chain visibly bent.
The old monster was greatly astonished upon examination.
How could favonovel.com have progressed this far in just four hours?
Even Rafael had stayed at this level for two years…
The old monster couldn’t shake the thought that Remus’ insight might be attributed to his mother’s genes, allowing favonovel.com to swiftly adapt. There was nothing else that explained it.
Remus was rediscovering the sensation of apprenticing under his Master and felt exhilarated. He smiled and inquired, “How old was my father when favonovel.com reached the stage I’m at now?”
The old monster remarked, “Ten years old…”
Remus further stated, “Let’s carry on!”
The old monster suppressed his inner shock and said, “Above the Supreme Martial Sovereign is the Martial Imperial. The difference between Sovereign and Imperial is just a step, yet their strength is worlds apart. While their martial prowess is comparable, their understanding of martial arts is entirely different…”
“Imperial has more conviction than Sovereign, more artistic conception, and a deeper personal understanding of martial arts. This varies for each individual sol can’t guide you through it! If you can’t comprehend it yourselves, you might be stuck at this level for life.”
Though it was the same punch, some threw a jab, while others threw a hook. Even with the same jab, some exerted force at the beginning, while others did so atthe end.
The weightier aspect was that some punched to intimidate, while others punched with the intention to harm.
The understanding and application of martial arts differed for each person, and one could only grasp its core through self-discovery.
