"Why are you suddenly asking about this man, Mr Leon?" The smile on Grandpa Gibson's face instantly faded away. He looked like he was being asked about a taboo subject.
Leon smiled and said casually, "It's not sudden. I killed his useless student before."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room became silent. The facial expressions of Edward, his wife, and Selena changed. Everyone is dumbfounded. Naturally, they knew that even though Leon spoke casually, there was killing intent and a cold demeanor in his words.
Especially Selena could not help but study Leon carefully while being surprised. Never had he thought that this man would have such a cold appearance that even his heart was cruel. He was talking about killing someone in such a calm manner. It seemed like the kick he gave her the other day was an act of mercy.
Grandfather Gibson inhaled a sharp breath with shock written on his face. "Sir Leon, a-are you sure that you killed student Bentley Fuller?"
"Before the man died he said Bentley Fuller was his teacher, so that must be true. After all, someone was telling the truth before he died." Leon nodded calmly.
Gibson's grandfather pressed his shock forcefully and turned to look at Edward and his wife. He said, "Leave us now, Edward, Debby."
"Grandfather, look at you. I am your biological grandson and I have the blood of the Gibson family flowing in me. Why hide something from me?" Edward's surprised.
Gibson's grandfather glared at him sharply, Edward just resigned and left the room with his wife, Debby, while looking sad. He muttered to himself as he left.
The Gibson grandfather then spoke while forcing a smile, "I'm sorry, Mr. Leon. My useless grandson knows nothing about martial arts. His father died when he was young, so the less he knew, the better."
In reality, Grandpa Gibson had always reminded his granddaughter, that is, not to offend an ancient martial artist. As long as it didn't offend the ancient martial artist, no matter how arrogant Edward behaved, Grandpa Gibson could still solve his problems for him.
Leon nodded to show his confession.
The Gibson grandfather glanced at Leon who was next to him and asked with a very doubtful expression, "Aren't you from the ancient martial world? How could I have never heard of Bentley Fuller?"
"The ancient martial world?"
Leon was stunned for a moment and then smiled as he spoke, "To be honest, Grandfather Gibson, I am not an ancient martial artist, but an energy refinery Cultivator ."
"Energy refinery cultivator? I'm sorry, I've never heard of it despite having lived for so long." Gibson's grandfather was stunned. Then, he looked at Kenzo who was behind him in a daze.
Kenzo shook his head. "I never have either."
"Forget it. Because you are so strong, it is only natural that you are unusual," the gibson grandfather waved his hand and said, "Master Leon, martial arts have been passed down for hundreds and thousands of years in Huaxia. There has been a set of cultivation and inheritance systems since then. To distinguish it from modern martial arts, we call it ancient martial artists. Right now, all I know is that the ancient martial world is divided into two main stages, namely the acquired stage and the innate stage."
Leon replied in surprise, "What is the acquired stage and what is the innate stage?"
Kenzo and Selena raised their ears because they had limited knowledge about this.
"The "acquired stage is where martial artists generate energy in their bodies by practicing and activating the potential within them. Then, they fought by integrating some skills. In general, it is categorized into four small stages, namely Movement, Illuminating Energy, Internal Energy, and Illuminating Pulse.
"Under normal circumstances, as soon as one can produce energy within his body, they would consider getting into the Illuminating Energy stage. After that, one needs to strengthen the energy continuously by enlarging it, purifying it, and integrating it into the flesh, muscles, and acupoints.
"When the energy has been completely purified, it opens up blocked meridians in their bodies, especially the two main meridians that are the regulating meridians and the fertilizing meridians. As soon as the meridians are opened, energy fills the entire body and works on its own.
Leon asked as he frowned, "What about the innate stage?"
"Acquired stage martial artists can transform the energy in their bodies into true energy. They reached the innate stage after they released true energy. However, it was rare that anyone could achieve that. Once one reached it, they would be able to fight against a hundred people at once. Hence, they would be referred to as Martial Dao masters."
gibson's grandfather was very emotional as he complained, "However, it is very difficult to reach the innate stage. Countless martial artists have cultivated throughout their lives, yet they have failed to reach the innate stage.I have been cultivating all my life and I have only been at the Illuminating Energy stage."
Selena stuck out her tongue after hearing that. He had been trained by masters since he was a child and had only come to the Movement stage alone. All he could do was imitate and perform at a mediocre pace.
Leon's eyes blinked a few times as he absorbed the new information. An ancient martial artist cultivated mainly their body and energy. In addition, energy cannot be absorbed from external resources. Instead, it must be perfected on its own.
Meanwhile, a cultivator would absorb the spiritual energy in heaven and earth and turn it into spiritual power. They developed mainly abilities, magic treasures, formations, talismans, and other foreign objects.
Then he returned to the topic, "Since you are so inferior to him, Grandfather Gibson, Bentley Fuller must be a legendary Martial Dao master who is at the innate stage?"
"That's right." Gibson's grandfather nodded seriously. "Bentley Fuller was not just a Martial Dao master. He is also number one in the three provinces of Traveda. He dominated being No. 1 for decades, and he was also the most powerful amongst other Martial Dao masters. It could be said that he was the crownless king of all Traveda. Even Gibson's family I'm subject to him."
Grandfather Gibson took a deep breath and continued speaking, "He's not only a rank One Martial Dao master in Traveda, either, but he was also included in one of the five Vajra Kings we know as the Eastern Superior, the Western Ruler, the Southern Killer, the Northern Devil, and the invincible Thor. Bentley Fuller is the Southern Killer."
"Grandfather, the Eastern Superior mentioned that, is that part of the five Vajra Kings?" Selena, who was sitting at the side, could not help but ask. Leon was also very curious about it.
Gibson's grandfather agreed, "That's right. They are the five famous Vajra Kings in the innate stage. They were Superior East Avram, Lord of the Dutch West, Killer South Fuller, Devil North Drake, and invincible Thorr. Obviously, it's just a nickname. I don't know their real names."
"Grandfather, so who is the strongest among the five of them?" Selena's pretty face flushed red as excitement filled her beautiful eyes.
The Gibson grandfather glanced at him helplessly. "The saying 'just as it is impossible to find the best writer, it is possible to find the second best in martial arts'. When one reached such a level, there was no comparison unless they fought each other. Moreover, I've never heard of them fighting before."
Leon nodded silently. In this peaceful world, it would never be as chaotic as the cultivation world. Moreover, he believed that since such people existed, there must be some rules that applied to them. Otherwise, they would have already taken over this world.
Selena gave a brief response, looking disappointed. He continued by asking, "Grandfather, is there anything else besides those five people?"
"Yes!"
Gibson's grandfather was blunt this time as he said, "In addition to East, West, South, and North, there are some of them in the capital. For example, there is the Holmes family genius, Kendrick Holmes, the son of the Weil family, Felix Weil, and the Barrack Ocean Madman, Jimmy Choo. However, they were all very mysterious and humble."
"Oh yeah!"
Gibson's grandfather seemed to remember something. He grinned as he recounted, "Something interesting happened eight days ago. It is said that an expert appeared at the foot of Mount Wonderes. His nickname was the Unparalleled Sword. He had challenged masters everywhere after he appeared. Not only that, he always wins. The ancient martial world was shaken by the appearance of this person."
At the foot of Wonderes Mountain?
Eight days ago?
Leon gasped at the few words. He asked, "Unmatched sword?"
