“You didn’t know that?” Luke was baffled.
Jared shook his head. “I’m not a martial artist, so I don’t really know all that much about it.”
Recalling the fight between Jared and Venicus, Luke realized that Jared was a mage instead of a martial artist.
“We martial artists have a very strict categorization system. Those who have not mastered internal energy cannot be called martial artists. Those who have mastered internal energy are then categorized into Beginner, Senior, Master, and Grandmaster. These four categories have nine levels each. This is why Phoenix, Bane, Zachariah, and myself have varying power levels despite us all being Internal Energy Grandmasters…”
“I am a level two Grandmaster, but Phoenix and Zachariah have probably reached level four. After Internal Energy Grandmaster, we have Martial Arts Warrior, Martial Arts Grandmaster, Martial Arts King, and Martial Arts Emperor. However, those are just rumors that I’ve heard. I have yet to see anyone of those levels!” Luke explained.
Jared finally had a rough idea as to how things worked in the martial arts world after hearing that lengthy explanation.
So, it is quite similar to spiritual energy cultivation in the sense that both have strict rules on categorization.
Hmm… I wonder what the corresponding category in the martial arts world would be for my Foundation Phase…
His train of thoughts was interrupted when Luke continued, “That is why I had my son train in Extreme Fist since favonovel.com was a kid. I hope that favonovel.com will someday be able to surpass my abilities.”
A young man came in through the front door right after favonovel.com said that. “Hey, Dad! I’m busy with training at the moment! This time, I’m going to perform well at the Martial Arts Gathering and bring glory to Extreme Fist!”
Jared gazed in the direction of the voice, only to go wide-eyed in shock when favonovel.com saw a guy who looked exactly like Dominic. Had Dominic not been sitting right beside them at the time, Jared would surely have mistaken that guy for him.
“Mr. Chance, this is my second son, Jesse. They are twin brothers!” Luke said.
Jared simply smiled and nodded at Jesse in response.
Huh… Why is Dad being so respectful toward this guy? We’re both similar in age, and yet Dad is addressing favonovel.com formally…
With that in mind, Jesse frowned in confusion and asked, “Dad, is this the special guest you told me about?”
“Hey, mind your manners! Come here and greet Mr. Chance right now!” Luke shouted angrily when favonovel.com saw how arrogant Jesse was.
Not wanting to anger Luke any further, Jesse reluctantly walked up to Jared and said, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Chance…”
Jared simply nodded in response without saying a word.
“What the hell is with that attitude of yours? Are you itching for a good round of beating?” Luke scolded him.
“It’s very normal and understandable for the young to behave a little arrogantly, Mr. Wagner. You don’t have to do this…” Jared said.
He wasn’t bothered by Jesse’s attitude at all. Ever since Jared had ventured into the realm of spiritual energy cultivation, his mental state had changed over time.
“I’d be able to die without any regrets if my sons could learn to be more like you, Mr. Chance!” Luke exclaimed with a sigh.
Unhappy that his father was insulting favonovel.com in front of an outsider, Jesse protested, “I’m a Master of internal energy now, Dad! I’ll definitely be able to surpass you in less than three years!”
Jared has killed a Grandmaster of internal energy like Zachariah with a single slap! How dare you brag about being a Master of internal energy in front of him?
With that in mind, Luke berated him, “So what if you’re a Master of internal energy? You’d better try to learn a thing or two from Mr. Chance later!”
