Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 30 Things in other worlds
Upon hearing this, Cha Nan nodded, not intending to delve into the reasons for the time being. After all, he was not even a third-rate fighter yet, and was far from being qualified to enter the first-rate realm. Even if he reached the first-rate realm, he would have to cultivate at least one combat skill to a certain level, like Yang Guo, before he could trigger the Void Realm War.

"Then may I ask, sir, besides the Void Realm, is there any other way to obtain this... Yuanqi Stone?" Cha Nan opened his pocket, took out a Yuanqi Stone (a fragment of Paru Ore) and asked.

The bag of Yuanqi Stones given by Yang Guo contained about seven or eight pieces, and they were all quite large, about the size of normal Paru ore fragments. For Cha Nan at this point, it was a considerable fortune.

"There probably is, but I don't know for sure!"

"Everyone knows that the gate to another world can lead to another world, but they don't know that the world that the gate connects to is actually limited." Yang Guo seemed to be in a particularly good mood to talk because he had met an old friend after a long time. He was both satisfying everyone's curiosity and giving them a warning in advance.

"Oh? Let's discuss this in detail!" Cha Nan was extremely interested in this.

He had always wanted to know how many martial arts worlds the Gate of Boundaries could connect to, and how many masters from different worlds could be brought together to create a special effect like Guan Yu fighting Qin Qiong.

If we limit ourselves to relatively traditional martial arts worlds like those of Jin Yong, Gu Long, and Liang Yusheng, then the upper limit is limited. But if we include the likes of Huang Yi and Wen Ruian, or even martial arts worlds that are heavily adapted from comics and films, or even martial arts worlds from puppet shows, then the upper limit is far too high.

Yang Guo thought for a moment, as if organizing his thoughts, before saying, "What I know is not specific, so I will only talk about what I know."

"I have been to five other worlds, met some people, and fought with some masters from other worlds. Overall, the top level in the martial arts world is about the same as me. If it is a life-or-death battle, the outcome depends on the state of mind, the timing, and the location."

Cha Nan was secretly alarmed. This Yang Guo had actually traveled to five other martial arts worlds. If that was the case, Yang Guo's current strength must be much greater than his original trajectory.

After all, once an expert reaches a certain level, experience and vision are also crucial.

"However, I made a friend in another world... a friend despite our age difference?"

“His name is Zhang Junbao. He told me that the world he could go to was completely different from the world I went to. The level of the entire martial arts world was higher, there were more top experts, and those who were truly exceptional had the ability to split mountains and stop rivers, like in myths.”

"Therefore, he deduced that the gate would actively assess the strength of those who entered and then assign them to worlds that matched their strength."

"Once you have entered those more unfathomable worlds, you can no longer enter other shallower worlds, except to return to your original world."

When Yang Guo said this, his gaze became somewhat wistful.

Over the years, he has suppressed himself and tried his best not to improve his strength too much, for fear of entering a higher level world too quickly and being unable to go to those worlds that are at the same level as his current one.

He crossed the boundary gate and traveled to different worlds in order to find the whereabouts of the South Sea Goddess and her aunt, the Little Dragon Girl.

Even so, he was about to lose control.

"The Condor Hero! Can you tell me about some heroes from other worlds?"

"I want to hear their stories!" Guo Xiang said, cupping her cheeks and her eyes sparkling.

Yang Guo thought for a moment, then said, "Different worlds have different customs, and the portrayal of so-called heroes is also different."

"I know a friend, I don't know if he can be considered a hero, but he's very interesting!"

"Interesting?" Guo Xiang was puzzled as to why a hero would be associated with the word "interesting".

Yang Guo laughed and said, "His name is Lu Xiaofeng... Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows!"

Cha Nan kept his head down, trying not to let anyone see the slightly out-of-control expression on his face.

Oh my god!

Lu Xiaofeng and Yang Guo have become friends!
How many decent friends did Lu Xiaofeng have? And how many of his friends didn't turn to the dark side and ultimately get killed by him?
If Gu Long hadn't passed away so early, it's hard to say whether Ximen Chuixue and Hua Manlou would have turned to the dark side.

"You seem to have heard his name before?" Yang Guo's senses were very sharp. Even though Cha Nan had concealed his expression, Yang Guo still noticed something amiss.

It can only be said that Cha Nan has little experience in the martial arts world. Even if his heart is a bit dirty, he still needs to practice.

“I’ve heard a little about him!” Cha Nan said, then added, “I used to work as a waiter at an inn, and I’ve heard many stories, including one about Lu Xiaofeng.”

Yang Guo believed the somewhat perfunctory reason given.

"It seems he really is as he said, even if we expand the scope to countless worlds, he is one of the most prominent figures." Yang Guo said, his mouth slightly dry, and he felt a little thirsty when he talked about this friend.

Unfortunately... the last pot of wine was finished the day before yesterday.

"So what exactly did this Lu Xiaofeng with his four eyebrows do that makes you feel he's both a hero and not a hero?" Guo Xiang asked impatiently, like a little fangirl wanting to chase after a star.

That's definitely true!
In the original timeline, after hearing about the deeds of the Condor Hero, he disregarded the danger and followed Big Head Ghost to find the Condor Hero.

She had a deep longing for the heroes of the martial arts world.

Yang Guo began to speak, recounting the story of Lu Xiaofeng and the Golden Roc Dynasty.

As the embers of the campfire grew cold in the chilly north wind, Yang Guo shook off the snowflakes and stood up.

At Yang Guo's signal, the giant eagle that had been shielding Guo Xiang and Guo Polu from the wind and snow with its wings turned its head and looked at Yang Guo with a puzzled expression.

Yang Guo nodded slightly, indicating that he could leave.

The Guo siblings were resting on the wooden stumps by the campfire. They had listened to stories for most of the night and were now feeling sleepy.

Guo Fu's sleeping posture was particularly strange; she was almost curled up in Cha Nan's arms, like conjoined twins.

Cha Nan was wearing a fluffy shield, and the warmth it emitted was especially alluring in this icy and snowy world.

Yang Guo walked without making a sound, and his toes left no trace on the snow. He appeared beside Cha Nan as if floating, and his fingers lightly touched Cha Nan's shoulder.

Half-asleep, Cha Nan felt a warm sensation coming from her shoulder, and then she quickly regained consciousness.

Turning around, I saw Yang Guo standing behind me like a ghost, and I was almost startled.

Little did he know, Yang Guo was also surprised.

Although he only used a little bit of his internal energy to touch Cha Nan, in terms of martial arts cultivation alone, the gap between Cha Nan and him was like heaven and earth. However, his little bit of internal energy was actually blocked and even rebounded a bit.

"But I wonder what kind of protective martial art he has cultivated, that his internal energy is already capable of automatically protecting his body." Yang Guo thought to himself, and he slightly approved of Guo Fu's choice of Cha Nan.

As time passed, Yang Guo no longer harbored the hazy feelings he once had for Guo Fu, but she was, after all, someone he admired in his youth, and he hoped she could find a good home.

As for the grudge over the severed arm?

This is to repay the kindness of Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo in raising them.
