My master gave me a death mission: to go down the mountain and retrieve his granddaughter.

"I wonder if Doctor Su has ever heard of the 'Heavenly Gate' organization?"

Old Master Luo's words made Su Muchen's heart skip a beat. He was the current leader of "Tianmen". Why did Old Master Luo bring this up?

Seeing that Su Muchen did not answer, Old Master Luo assumed he did not know and continued:

"The Heavenly Gate has a long history, spanning countless dynasties. However, the rise of each dynasty was inevitably supported by the Heavenly Gate. It can be said that this force is the guardian deity of a dynasty and a country."

"During the war of national defense, Tianmen mobilized all its disciples to participate in the war. Even those scattered overseas were called back. However, the war was too brutal, and almost all of Tianmen's disciples were wiped out. Even the sect leader perished."

As Mr. Luo spoke, his eyes dimmed. Although he had not experienced that war, as a soldier who had been on the battlefield, he could better understand the cruelty of that war.

"Old man, according to you, could you also be a member of the Heavenly Gate?"

Su Muchen already had a guess in his mind: since Old Master Luo could mention Tianmen, the Luo family must have some connection with Tianmen.

"What merits or abilities does the old man possess to become a member of Tianmen? Every member who can join Tianmen is an exceptionally talented individual of their time. Although the old man is not one, my grandfather is, and my grandfather was one of the Tianmen members who survived that war."

This really surprised Su Muchen. He never expected that the ancestors of the Luo family were also members of the "Heavenly Gate".

"Although my grandfather survived, he was seriously injured and passed away before my father could inherit his mantle. Although my grandfather left behind a martial arts tradition, without anyone to guide him, the younger generation could only learn by trial and error, and their achievements were limited."

"Back in the day, the old man met a martial arts practitioner in the army. It was thanks to his guidance that the old man has achieved his current strength, but that's all he has. He hasn't made any progress in the past ten years."

"As for the members of my Luo family, although the old man is willing to teach them, unfortunately, they lack the comprehension and cannot even get to the basics. Alas..."

Grandpa Luo is right about this. Not everyone can practice martial arts. In addition to having a mentor, one also needs to have great talent and comprehension to have a chance to enter the field.

"However, there is another person in my Luo family who is exceptionally intelligent and has a level of comprehension that is unmatched by ordinary people. She had already grasped the basics at the age of five."

"Oh, your Luo family has such a genius?"

Su Muchen was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the Luo family would have such a talented person who had entered the martial arts world at the age of five. Even in some martial arts families, this would be considered a top-notch genius.

"Brother Su, my father is right. Although the younger generation of the Luo family is not very comprehension-oriented, my daughter is the pride of the Luo family."

When his daughter was mentioned, Luo Heng became very energetic, as if she brought him unparalleled glory.

"Brother Luo, do you have any other children?"

"That's natural. Besides that unfilial son Luo Zijun, my brother has another son named Luo Zigeng, and his youngest daughter named Luo Xin'er. My other son is also in the military, and he is an elite special forces soldier in my Central Theater Command Special Operations Brigade."

Luo Heng was also very proud of his youngest son, even though his son was unable to become a martial artist due to insufficient comprehension.

But through his own efforts, he not only became a special forces soldier, but also an elite special forces soldier in their military region. In a few years, Luo Heng's son will surely become the captain of the special operations brigade.

The captain of a special operations brigade is usually a lieutenant colonel or colonel, a mid-to-high-level officer with a promising future.

"And my daughter is even more remarkable. After she stepped into the world of martial arts at the age of five, she was favored by Long Aotian, the leader of the Dragon Guard Group, and was taken in as his closed-door disciple. Although my daughter has just come of age, she broke through to the Martial Grandmaster realm in the past two months and became the deputy leader of the Dragon Guard Group in the Central War Zone, responsible for supervising the order of the martial arts world in our several provinces."

An eighteen-year-old martial arts master possesses extraordinary talent, which is likely unparalleled even among powerful martial arts families.

No wonder Luo Heng's face was full of pride when he mentioned his daughter. With such talent, as long as someone guides her, she may break through to the Martial Emperor realm in time.

"Brother Luo, it seems your daughter is indeed exceptionally talented. I congratulate you on having such a wonderful daughter, and congratulations to you, Grandpa, on having such a beautiful granddaughter."

"Hehe, Dr. Su, you're making fun of us. I admit my granddaughter is indeed quite talented, but she can't compare to you, Dr. Su."

Originally, Luo Heng was very happy when Su Muchen praised his daughter and was about to say a few words of self-praise, but Old Master Luo spoke first.

However, Luo Heng was displeased by what Old Master Luo said. His daughter was so outstanding, and his father could not compare to Su Muchen. Even if Su Muchen was skilled in medicine, it did not mean that he surpassed his daughter in martial arts cultivation.

"Dad, I know Brother Su is a highly skilled doctor and also a martial artist, but to say that Xin'er is inferior to Brother Su is somewhat disrespectful to your granddaughter!"

"Brother Su, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to target you, I was just stating the facts."

Su Muchen was not upset by Luo Heng's words. He could understand Luo Heng's feelings. His daughter was so outstanding, yet she was being looked down upon. Even if that person was his own father, Luo Heng was still dissatisfied.

"Heh, you underestimate her? That's right, this old man underestimates Xin'er. Yes, Xin'er's talent is indeed outstanding, few in the younger generation can compare, but that doesn't mean she's invincible among her peers. Do you know what level of skill Doctor Su has reached?"

"Dad, what do you mean? Does this mean Brother Su's cultivation level is higher than Xin'er's?"

Luo Heng wasn't stupid. His father had already made it clear that Su Muchen's martial arts cultivation level was higher than his precious daughter's.

"That's right. Although I can't see through Doctor Su's true level, with my strength as a Martial Grandmaster, I can even glean some information from a Martial King. This is enough to show that Doctor Su's strength may have exceeded the Martial King level."

"Dad, are you saying that Brother Su's strength has surpassed that of a Martial Grandmaster and reached the Martial King realm? How is that possible?"

Upon hearing what Grandpa Luo said, Luo Heng was shocked. Su Muchen was only a few years younger than his daughter, which meant that Su Muchen's talent was even greater than his daughter's.

"You'll have to ask Doctor Su about that. What do you say, Doctor Su?"

After finishing speaking, Grandpa Luo looked at Su Muchen with a smug expression. He had no doubt whatsoever that Su Muchen was a martial arts practitioner.

However, if a Martial Grandmaster like himself couldn't see through Su Muchen's cultivation level at all, then there were only two possibilities.

One possibility is that Su Muchen possesses some means to conceal his cultivation level, but Grandpa Luo has never heard of such a method in the martial arts world, so he has to abandon this idea.

The remaining possibility is that Su Muchen's cultivation level is too high, so high that even a Martial Grandmaster like myself cannot detect it.

If even a Martial Grandmaster can't discern the approximate level, then it must be above Martial King, and not just a newly entered Martial King, but at least in the late stage of Martial King.

"Old man, I must say you have a good eye. I won't lie to you, that's right, my current strength has already surpassed the Martial King realm."

"What? Surpassed the Martial King realm, doesn't that mean..."

"The pinnacle of the martial arts world—the Martial Emperor realm!"
