Chapter 16

"In this world of martial arts, sects stand like forests, and powerful figures are countless. For example, Shaolin and Wudang in our Tianwu Empire, these are super sects that have been passed down for a thousand years. Besides these, major sects like Huashan, Emei, Kongtong, and Kunlun are not far behind. Beyond the Tianwu domain, there are also many sects that can rival Shaolin and Wudang, too numerous to count!"

"At that time, the martial arts world was in chaos. Powerful figures from various sects constantly fought for fame and profit, causing a storm of blood and wind in the martial arts world! Later, the Bai Xiaomen emerged, first establishing a hierarchy for martial arts practitioners, and then creating the Heaven, Earth, and Human lists to establish the reputation of many powerful figures, finally bringing peace to the martial arts world!"

"So, the current strength division in the martial arts world is set by the Bai Xiaomen, right?" Bu Fan listened to Uncle Bu Er's explanation and asked curiously.

"Exactly, it's the rules set by the Bai Xiaomen. From the lowest level practitioners to third-rate, second-rate, and first-rate practitioners, and above the first-rate level, one must break through the constraints and enter the innate realm, reaching the Grandmaster level."

"Grandmaster-level practitioners have the qualifications to challenge the Human list of the Heaven, Earth, and Human lists. Above the Grandmaster level is the innate grandmaster level, which can enter the Earth list and become one of the strongest in the world." As he said this, a look of longing appeared on Uncle Bu Er's face.

"What about above the Grandmaster level? What qualifications are needed to enter the Heaven list?" Bu Fan, now intrigued, asked further.

"To enter the Heaven list, according to legend, one must first find their own martial path. At this stage, it transcends the concept of martial arts and advances to the supreme Heavenly Dao, reaching the realm of breaking through the void. Each move and strike can invoke the power of heaven and earth, with boundless might!" Uncle Bu Er said with a sigh.

At this moment, the sky suddenly changed, and an inexplicable pressure descended from above.

"Roar!"

A red shadow of a fierce beast suddenly appeared in the sky behind the Bu Family Manor, roaring to the heavens!

"Fire Kirin!"

Seeing the giant shadow of the fierce beast, Uncle Bu Er couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

At this moment, a black sword shadow shot out from the void, instantly piercing through the Kirin's shadow!

The Fire Kirin's shadow let out a mournful cry and then shattered in the sky.

Uncle Bu Er suddenly picked up the long sword on the stone table and rushed out, and Bu Fan instinctively followed closely behind.

In the large courtyard of the Bu Family Manor, Duan Wentian, who had come to visit, was now lying on the ground in a daze. Beside him, the luxurious sedan chair was already in pieces.

In Duan Wentian's hand, he held a sharp, fiery red long sword.

"Duan Wentian, your goal has been achieved. Father did not want to kill you, so go!" In the hall, Bu Yanran, dressed in light silk, walked out gracefully and said calmly to Duan Wentian.

"Spit!"

Hearing Bu Yanran's words, Duan Wentian couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood, which landed on the red Fire Kirin sword, making it look even more striking.

"Hmph, even if I have been defeated, from now on, the legacy of Bu Jingyun will be cut off from the world, and the Fire Kirin will still be the supreme weapon in the world!" With that, Duan Wentian staggered to his feet, holding the Fire Kirin sword, and walked out with difficulty.

"Miss, should I send someone to kill him?" At this moment, Bu Yuanshan stepped forward and said formally to Bu Yanran standing in the hall.

"Forget it, even if Duan Wentian is seriously injured, he is still beyond your capabilities. Let him go!" Bu Yanran shook her head lightly and said calmly.

"Yes!" Bu Yuanshan lowered his head in frustration, but a look of unwillingness flashed in his eyes. Even though he didn't know much about the martial arts world, he could see that the Fire Kirin sword in Duan Wentian's hand was a rare divine weapon.

If he could obtain the Fire Kirin sword, it would undoubtedly be a great gain for him. Even if he couldn't use it, presenting it to the hall master or the gang leader in the future would greatly elevate his status.

"No, I must get the Fire Kirin sword!" Bu Yuanshan said to himself at this moment.

While Bu Yuanshan was plotting to get the Fire Kirin sword, Bu Fan returned to Uncle Bu Er's room to plan his own strategy.

"Uncle, teach me martial arts!" Bu Fan said formally to Uncle Bu Er, who had just returned.

"Martial arts?" Hearing Bu Fan's words, Uncle Bu Er frowned and turned to him, saying seriously, "Why do you suddenly want to learn martial arts?"

"Um, I just suddenly want to learn. When I become strong in the future and enter the Earth and Heaven lists, I can protect Uncle and Miss!" Bu Fan thought for a moment and said softly.

"Ha ha, boy, you're thinking too far ahead. Even breaking through to the first-rate level and entering the innate realm is as difficult as climbing to the heavens, let alone entering the lists!" Uncle Bu Er laughed and said to Bu Fan.

"Um, even if I don't enter the lists, practicing martial arts can at least strengthen my body, right? Uncle, look at my frail body; I need some way to protect myself!" Bu Fan's eyes darted around, and he came up with another reason, saying helplessly to Uncle Bu Er.

"Strengthening the body! Fine, I'll teach you some basic skills!" Uncle Bu Er thought for a moment and finally agreed.

"Then, do I need to learn the acupoints on my body first?" Hearing Uncle Bu Er's agreement, Bu Fan quickly asked.

"Acupoints? You seem well-prepared. Fine, let's start with the acupoints!" Uncle Bu Er looked at the excited Bu Fan in surprise and finally nodded.

On the other side, Bu Yuanshan, who was obsessed with the Fire Kirin sword, also took his warhorse from the stable and left the Bu Family Manor, chasing after Duan Wentian.

Learning the acupoints is a tedious task. Even though Bu Fan knew a lot about martial arts acupoints from his previous life, it was still quite challenging to learn them comprehensively.

For the entire day, Bu Fan studied the acupoint charts in his room, memorizing them until his head felt heavy and he was drowsy. Finally, he fell asleep on the table.

When Bu Fan opened his eyes again, he found himself back in the martial arts hall.

"Master, you're back! How was your experience as a stable hand?" Diaochan suddenly appeared beside Bu Fan and asked softly.

"How did you know I was a stable hand?" Bu Fan asked in surprise. Diaochan didn't speak but pointed to the side.

Bu Fan turned his head and saw a detailed list of data next to the avatar model he had created.

"Name: Bu Fan"

"Age: 18"

"Identity: Stable hand of the Bu Family Manor"

"Martial Arts: None!"

"Items: None!"

"So, this avatar model displays the data from the martial arts world outside?" Bu Fan turned to Diaochan, asking in surprise.

"Yes, the avatar model reflects the master's status in the martial arts world. Of course, it also monitors the master's mental state. If the master's mental state reaches a dangerous level, the avatar model will issue a warning, and we will promptly help the master leave the dangerous state!" Diaochan nodded and explained.

"I see! By the way, how did I leave the martial arts world?" Bu Fan frowned and asked again, remembering how he had suddenly returned to the martial arts hall.

"Because the master's divine consciousness was exhausted, so you naturally returned to the martial arts hall!" Diaochan answered softly.

"Um, how do I know when my divine consciousness is exhausted?" Although he didn't fully understand what divine consciousness was, Bu Fan continued to ask.

"It's simple. If the divine consciousness gradually decreases, the master will feel tired and fatigued in the martial arts world. Generally, when the divine consciousness maintaining the martial arts world dissipates, the master's body in the martial arts world will naturally fall into a deep sleep. So when the master feels tired, it means the divine consciousness is about to be exhausted!"

"Of course, the master can also choose to leave freely before the divine consciousness is exhausted. However, during the process of leaving, the body in the martial arts world will stiffen for thirty seconds. Therefore, when choosing to leave, the master should find a safe place to place the body, otherwise, an accident could cause significant damage to the master's divine consciousness!" Diaochan said formally to Bu Fan.

"Beep beep beep!"

At this moment, the message sensor on Bu Fan's body suddenly rang. He opened it and saw a message from Xue Meier, asking if he had left the martial arts world. If he had, he should quickly go to the first floor for a meeting!
