From Martial Arts Dungeon to Master of Martial Arts

"Junior Brother Mu." Zhao Fangxu arrived at Mu Sheng's door once again, several days after their last confrontation.

Several of his fellow disciples behind him put down their boxes and stared coldly at the gate.

Mu Sheng pushed open the door, her body mostly shrouded in shadow behind it, making it impossible to see her face.

"Senior Brother Zhao."

When he came out, he appeared in the sunlight with a gentle smile on his face.

Zhao Fangxu's gaze was deep and unfathomable. The moment Mu Sheng appeared, he felt a strong sense of threat, a martial artist's instinct reminding him.

The person in front of me... is dangerous.

Unlike last time, when Zhao Fangxu only vaguely sensed that Mu Sheng was his opponent, now Mu Sheng is someone who can completely kill him.

What happened in the last two days?

Zhao Fangxu's smile didn't betray his true feelings. Instead, he gestured for Mu Sheng to look at the box: "I've brought you what you wanted, Junior Brother. I just don't know what you need this armor for? This stuff isn't easy to get."

fart.

Mu Sheng smiled without saying a word. Both of them had smiles on their faces, but Zhao Fangxu's smile gave people a kind feeling.

Mu Sheng's smile, however, was merely an expression, making it impossible to discern his true emotions.

The imperial court turned a blind eye to items like swords, spears, clubs, and shields, but armor was a different story; it was something the court prohibited.

Even if it is made from inferior materials, it is not allowed.

However, judging from the fact that the Shangguan family possessed a considerable amount of armor in the "Demon Blood True Transformation Technique" dungeon, not many people seemed to care about this extermination order.

Mu Sheng speculated that the main reason was that the chaotic era was about to begin.

The entire dynasty was like a pressure cooker with its lid on, just waiting for the right opportunity to explode.

But now, facing the impending chaos, various regions have already developed their own ideas.

If the Shangguan family could obtain armor, then the Zhao family could naturally obtain it as well, although not as much as the Shangguan family, but certainly not a small amount.

Armor is a valuable item. For example, Mu Sheng can take on a team of ten veterans with a knife, but if he were to wear armor, he would dare to charge directly into a military camp of a hundred men.

The premise is that they don't have that kind of military formation.

"I'm just doing this as a precaution," Mu Sheng said dismissively in a low voice. "After all, Chang Shu is quite a mess."

Zhao Fangxu laughed and said, "Whether Chang Shu is in chaos or not depends on that City Lord Yang."

"I've heard that the next level above Transformation Realm is Qi Realm, but what is Lord Yang's level within Qi Realm?" Mu Sheng asked curiously.

Zhao Fangxu looked at Mu Sheng and pondered for a moment before asking, "Junior brother, do you understand the classification of Qi?"

"I've never heard of it," Mu Sheng said, shaking her head.

Zhao Fangxu explained: "If we talk about strength, then it is the flow of strength, striking strength, and neutralizing strength. Essentially, it is the change of strength. Qi strength, on the other hand, is the transformation of strength into qi. There is a saying among the strong qi practitioners: strong qi leads to a strong body, and a strong body leads to abundant qi. The two complement each other. However, each school and sect has its own ideas. Some focus on strengthening the body, while others focus on strengthening qi. There are various directions."

"Each school has its own realm, which makes it difficult to distinguish. Later, some people studied the theories of each school and finally summarized five realms of Qi. Although the cultivation is done according to the methods of each school, these five realms are usually used to represent the strong people of each school."

"Initial stage: Qi Transformation; Hundred Meridians: Strengthening the Body; Primordial Chaos: Perfection; External Innate Qi: Taking from the Primordial Qi; Peak of Qi Strength: Five Great Realms."

Zhao Fangxu continued, "I don't know much about that city lord, but he's probably somewhere between the Hundred Meridians Strengthening Body and the Perfection of Primordial Chaos. The difference between these two realms is like heaven and earth. The three masters of Changshu Martial Sect are all at the Hundred Meridians Strengthening Body realm."

The abbot of Zhenyuan Temple was Qu Yuanheng.

"What about Master Jingyu?" Mu Sheng asked curiously. He felt that Jingyu had a somewhat detached air about him, but his actual strength had never been displayed.

"I don't know about that," Zhao Fangxu shook his head and said, "But I've heard that Master Jingyu used to be at the peak of Qi cultivation, but it seems that his foundation was damaged. Nobody knows how much strength he has now. You should know that Master Jingyu's Daoist name starts with Jing."

"Within the Zhenyuan Temple, there are disciples with Daoist titles and disciples with martial arts titles. The disciples with Daoist titles are named according to the Daoist principle of naturalness and the virtue of the mind. The current sect leader is also a disciple of the Jing generation."

Zhao Fangxu's tone was ambiguous.

Jingyu and the head of Zhenyuan Temple are of the same generation, which shows that his seniority is not low.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother," Mu Sheng said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

"This can be considered a consensus, it's just that we don't know much about it in this small place. If you go outside, you'll know that the division of Qi is clear everywhere, only the higher realms are unknown to the world." Zhao Fangxu sighed, then changed the subject and said, "Since that's the case, junior brother, consider this a donation from my Zhao family. I hope you'll keep your promise."

"Of course I won't break the contract." Mu Sheng nodded and said, "I'll need your guidance then, Senior Brother."

"No problem, no problem." Zhao Fangxu smiled brightly. "Then I won't keep you any longer, senior brother."

"Respectfully seeing off Senior Brother." Mu Sheng clasped his hands in a respectful gesture, watching Zhao Fangxu leave with his entourage.

He then looked at the box on the ground, stepped forward and opened it. Under the sunlight, the silver armor reflected the light onto his face, and Mu Sheng raised his hand to shield his eyes from the light.

"This armor doesn't look like an ordinary piece."

When the light dimmed, he looked at the armor inside the box. The silver armor had a sandy sheen, and a corner of a black iron shield was visible underneath.

"In that case, we can try to break through that narrow pass again."

He stepped forward, closed the lid, supported the bottom, and with a strong lift, easily lifted the box that would have required several people to move, and carried it into the house.

The shadow under the tree.

Miao Yin squinted at Mu Sheng as he walked into the room.

"This kid has incredible strength."

She watched several people carry that box away together, but when it came to Mu Sheng's hands, only one person was needed.

She glanced at Mingliu beside her and said, "It seems your junior brother isn't entirely on your side, Mingliu."

Mingliu opened his mouth. Mu Sheng had deviated from his expectations many times, and now no matter how Mu Sheng explained, he couldn't believe her.

Finally, the sound became so faint it was like the sound of the wind.

"I didn't know... he was so amazing."

...

Mu Sheng had no idea that Miao Yin had seen everything outside. After all, they were too far apart, and he wasn't at the point where he could detect everything just by looking at her.

His eyes were now fixed on the armor before him.

"I just don't know how far you can take me."

He opened the box and put on the armor. The various parts were quite complicated, and the color and complexity of it meant it was definitely not ordinary armor; it must have been worn by a general.

"That's truly a kind favor."

He grabbed the black shield.

The Narrow Pass dungeon is now open!!
