Chapter 150: 0148 The Day After Tomorrow’s Martial Realm (Vote Request)

The Southern Demon, Du Ying, brutally killed six mysterious foreigners in what was a one-sided massacre, demonstrating to the elder the true might of True Qi when transformed from concentrated strength.

Generally speaking, practicing martial arts is meant to strengthen and improve one’s physique, enhancing bodily health to achieve immunity from illness and self-protection.

These are the results that can be reached through ordinary martial arts training.

At the next level, when martial arts practice reaches a certain realm, often referred to as martial artists, whether it be boxing or foot techniques, one achieves certain accomplishments and possesses destructive power. This surpasses the ordinary level and reaches an advanced level, making one a foundational figure in the martial arts world.

Above this are those with a certain level of martial arts mastery and understanding, who have cultivated their strength and can use it flexibly. This level corresponds to the grandmasters of martial arts.

An ordinary person starts with simple martial arts for strengthening the body, then later develops strength with greatly increased destructive power, and at the very end, condenses that strength to its peak to become a great master of the martial arts world.

These three levels are considered to be the human limit, but there’s an even higher realm beyond strength.

Those who reach this level are no longer ordinary humans, as their bodily functions significantly improve and their power evolves from strength into True Qi, ascending to a higher level of power.

In the martial arts community, such individuals are referred to as having reached the Post-natal Realm, or Post-natal Martial Artists!

Throughout history, those who have achieved the rank of Post-natal Martial Artist are renowned figures, like the famous Song Dynasty military general Yue Fei, who was of the Post-natal Realm. Known as the Invincible Yue, he fought on the battlefield as if entering a land with no enemies, akin to a war deity, especially with a long spear in hand, unmatched and dominating the world.

Another example is Bodhidharma, the ancestor of Zen, who crossed rivers on a single reed with the speed of lightning and a traceless shadow, thanks to the power of True Qi, which allowed him to tread on water as if flat ground, becoming a legendary figure.

The elder couldn’t believe that a figure like the Southern Demon had reached a level comparable to those of ancient times, a feat that could establish a new school or sect.

Just how difficult it is to transition from strength to True Qi is something known only to martial artists deeply involved in martial arts; many are trapped at the peak of their strength for life, unable to take the final step, dying unfulfilled.

Yet some individuals have peculiar talents, like the Southern Demon, for instance. Despite his ruthless actions, he achieved what others could not which was undeniably remarkable.

The strength of the Southern Demon, Du Ying, goes without saying as he had broken free from constraints and reached a higher level. But the odd bodies before the elder puzzled him, unable to understand why they had previously transformed into monsters, with power increased tenfold. Who were these foreigners, and why were they here?

The elder revealed a contemplative expression as he stared at the bodies on the ground, picking up a photograph and a map that had fallen to the floor.

"It’s..." The elder was stunned because he discovered that it was indeed himself in the picture.

He then unfolded the map, noticing familiar red dots marked on it, wasn’t that the thatched hut he lived behind?

Were these monstrous beings here for him?

The elder shivered, thinking that if this speculation were true, it would explain everything. These six were originally coming for him, but Du Ying, the Southern Demon, just happened to be there and took the disaster in his place.

But why were these people looking for him?

If they were figures from the martial arts community, that would be one thing, but their faces were distinctly foreign. Could it be...

The old man thought of the foreign forces!

Even the deep mountains and forests were no longer peaceful. The old man didn’t bother with the corpses because there was a very serious matter he could no longer evade. The martial world he had not seen for many years, the old friends he had not seen for so long, he would be able to meet them again soon!

When Ye Qiu followed the faint clues left by the Southern Demon to this thatched cottage, it was already a day and a half later.

Especially when Ye Qiu saw those corpses with grim death expressions, he couldn’t help but frown. From the traces on the ground, there had apparently been a fight here, but not a fierce one, because apart from the numerous footprints of these corpses, there were very few others. By his judgment, these fellows had probably been quickly killed by their adversary, and the method was clean and efficient, without any hesitation or delay.

It must be him!

The first person Ye Qiu thought of, the one capable of doing this, must be the freak.

Because he noticed these people seemed to be like the Reaper he had encountered before, they could transform into those half-human, half-beast monsters, very strong. It wasn’t easy for someone without considerable strength to survive, let alone achieve a counterkill under the joined hands of six such powerful mutants. It must have been the work of that freak who had broken through to the True Qi realm.

What made Ye Qiu quite curious, though, was why these mutants would run to the deep mountains and forests. Could it be because of the freak?

Or was there another hidden story behind it?

Ye Qiu couldn’t help thinking about the force behind the Reaper. Could it have something to do with that mysterious force? He always felt that the mutants would not appear here so easily; there must be reasons he didn’t understand.

And with six mutants appearing at once this time, did it mean that there were even more mutants out there?

Ye Qiu couldn’t figure it out, with too little to go on for any guesses.

After walking around the thatched cottage, Ye Qiu’s gaze suddenly fell on a clearing where a message was written with stones.

"I am safe, no need for worry or search!"

Ye Qiu gazed at the sentence. Clearly, this message was left by Ye Zi, who must have guessed that Ye Qiu would find this place. Thus, while communicating with the old man, taking the opportunity when the Southern Demon was not paying attention, she wrote down these words.

Ye Qiu, after being lost in thought for a while, looked at the sentence and said to himself, "I promised to let you live an ordinary life, a promise I have yet to fulfill, so how could I let go!"

How could Ye Qiu not see through Ye Zi’s thoughts? She must be worried that he was no match for the freak and deliberately left this message to avoid causing him harm, but would Ye Qiu really back off because of it?

The answer was obviously no. With Ye Qiu’s nature, he would never abandon the people he cared about. No matter how great the difficulties, he would always press on courageously.

Little did he know, at that moment, the Southern Demon had already taken Ye Zi out of Huailing and entered the territory of the Southern Demon.

Ye Zi looked back frequently at the mountains that were gradually fading from view, conflicted in her heart. She hoped Ye Qiu would catch up but also didn’t want him to, because she did not want him to be in danger yet longed to return to his side soon.

This conflict wrestled within Ye Zi’s heart, repeatedly struggling until, with a great hand, the Southern Demon pulled her away, leaving behind the ink-painting-like scenery of Huailing.

That mist, always shrouding the visage of Huailing, kept its true face hidden from clear view.
