Chapter 93: Chapter 54 The So-Called Martial Arts_3

Hearing this, Fang Qingyun’s mouth twitched with difficulty.

His face burned, and his heart felt somewhat bitter. Instructor Li, what are you saying? What do you mean by "idiot"...

At the same time, he also felt pain all over his body, as if his father’s whip was lashing him again with the scolding.

Fang Qingyun shuddered.

He couldn’t help but turn his head to glance at Fang Che.

He saw that Fang Che had also turned his head, a smile on his face, and even gave him a thumbs-up.

Fang Qingyun furiously turned his head back with a face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

His cousin was too mean!

Li Changkong did not notice their little interactions and continued, "The level of a Samurai, the word ’Scholars’, corresponds to the scholars. Just like a scholar, who possesses certain knowledge, can only be called a Scholar, it is not for someone who has just begun to recognize characters. You should be clear about this."

"And that is what a Samurai is, a ’Scholar’ of Martial Arts, at the stage where both martial power and knowledge are being accumulated. That is a Samurai!"

"Once a Samurai accumulates enough, knows a lot, and their strength gradually increases, there will come a stage where... those new disciples who have just entered Martial Arts and don’t know certain things no longer need to ask their instructors because you can answer them. And you can answer any question at this stage."

"In other words, your knowledge is sufficient to teach disciples. At this stage, corresponding to the scholarly class would be a private school instructor. You can start teaching young children then... Understand? Thus, at this stage, you are qualified to be called ’martial master’. That is what a martial master is."

"Don’t underestimate the Realm of a martial master, because there are too many people of average talent on the continent who reach this stage and then have no path forward, so they start their own little martial clubs to enlighten many children in Martial Arts."

"And by this time, a martial master’s martial strength, to common people, is considered unattainably high."

Li Changkong sighed, "Speaking of this, I must tell you that the gap between people, sometimes... is bigger than the distance between heaven and earth!"

These words, regardless of who it was, made everyone nod vigorously.

Indeed.

That’s just how this world is.

"Then, after a martial master, comes a Wuzhong. What is ’Wuzhong?’ To start a sect, that’s ’Zong.’ What we call a Wuzhong right now isn’t truly sufficient to be considered a Zong, as although the martial power is enough, it hasn’t reached the state where it can establish a unique school or stand alone. But since in the past it was divided this way, I won’t say much here. Let just talk about the power only."

Li Changkong smiled and said, "However, understand Wuzhong as the principal of a school, meaning his insight, knowledge, and martial power are enough for him to lead a group of martial masters to support a school. Do you understand now?"

Explained in depth yet simply, with various comparisons, everyone naturally understood.

"The gap between Wuzhong and a martial master is huge, so monumental that it’s clearly insurmountable. To give you a specific example, like the difference between Fang Che and Mo Gan Yun. Before Fang Che’s breakthrough to Wuzhong, although he had the upper hand against Mo Gan Yun, it always took some time to bring Mo Gan Yun down, at least, needing a dozen or two to three dozen moves."

"But once Fang Che broke through to Wuzhong, he only needed half a move to take down Mo Gan Yun. This, you all saw. Yes, that’s the gap—a gap not just in level but a fundamental breakthrough. The enhancement in strength and agility after the breakthrough are insurmountably beyond what a martial master can achieve."

Mo Gan Yun, with his burly frame, tried to shrink into his chair to reduce his presence but still attracted everyone’s attention.

He couldn’t help but mutter under his breath: "If you need to give an example, just give an example, why use me as the example? Don’t I deserve some face..."

His voice was very low.

But all present were keen of hearing and saw clearly, and couldn’t help but snicker.

But since Li Changkong was imparting knowledge, everyone quickly suppressed their laughter and listened attentively with ears pricked.

In the past, others have also explained, but who could explain as clearly and easily as Li Changkong, and moreover bring about understanding through explanation?

"Wuzhong and martial masters, two neighboring levels, yet are the line between secular martial artists and true Martial Arts practitioners."

Li Changkong said, "You must remember, Martial Disciples and common people constitute one line, Wuzhong makes the second dividing line. Each line is like a deep moat."
