97: The division of martial arts

Zhao Delong was driven mad with anger.

He was afraid that Xu Shirui would offend Shen Xi.

At that time, Shen Xi would definitely not let him off.

He even began to regret why he got involved in this mess.

Was he tired of living?

"What?"

Xu Shirui finally reacted with belated understanding.

Someone his own father couldn't afford to offend?

This guy in front of him, his background was actually so significant?

If Xu Shirui knew that even his so-called Uncle Zhao was almost killed by Shen Xi, and that if it weren't for Liu Piaoling and the need to protect the Twenty-eighth City and resist the beast tide, Zhao Delong would already be a corpse.

He would definitely be even more terrified.

"This is a misunderstanding, it's all my nephew's fault for not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth, which led to him offending an elder like you. You are a magnanimous person, can you please let him off?"

Zhao Delong said with a fawning smile.

Although he hated Shen Xi to the core, under circumstances where his strength did not permit, he could only bow his head and concede.

"Get lost! Don't forget your responsibilities."

Shen Xi did not make things difficult for Zhao Delong.

The other party still had a purpose.

Compared to the safety of the Twenty-eighth City, this momentary conflict was nothing.

After all, Shen Xi was a young man raised under the red flag, and even after Rebirth, he still cared deeply about the lives of ordinary people.

"Yes, yes!"

Zhao Delong nodded obsequiously.

Then, he took off running, as if evil spirits were chasing him.

As for Xu Shirui, he subconsciously tried to leave as well.

Just then, Shen Xi spoke again: "I let him go, but I didn't let you go."

Xu Shirui's body stiffened, and he froze on the spot.

Then, he saw Shen Xi getting closer and closer, his neck tightened, and his collar was once again grabbed by the other party.

It was the familiar feeling, the familiar method.

Xu Shirui instinctively glanced towards the window.

Sure enough, Shen Xi was dragging him towards the window.

Let go!

Xu Shirui once again experienced free fall.

"This guy, why doesn't he understand anything? If he gave me some compensation, he wouldn't have to be thrown out, would he?"

Shen Xi said with regret after doing all this.

Only then did the Fatty finally speak: "Xi Zi, you should have reminded him."

"Oh right! I lost out twice in a row!" Shen Xi suddenly realized, slapping his thigh in regret.

He even regretted letting Zhao Delong leave so easily.

The other party could afford a house worth trillions, so a few tens of billions should be no problem.

However, the person had already been let go, so regretting it was useless.

"Let's continue shopping!"

Shen Xi said.

Manager Wang nodded repeatedly.

He originally respected Shen Xi because he held a Supreme Black Card, making him the most distinguished guest in the store. But now, it was more awe; even Zhao Delong was afraid of Shen Xi, so the other party was definitely not an ordinary person... Downstairs.

Xu Shirui fell flat on his face again.

The onlookers had not dispersed, waiting to watch the show, and now seeing this, they couldn't help but start discussing amongst themselves.

"Thrown down again?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, that posture is even more graceful than before."

"Buddy, what does it feel like to be thrown down twice in a row?"

"He's really an unkillable cockroach, quite resilient!"

"Does it hurt?"

Those two words again broke Xu Shirui's defenses.

He immediately covered his face and scurried away in embarrassment.

It was like a fire in a bathhouse; if you cover your face, others won't recognize you.

But then, someone added a line.

"Xu Shirui, don't run, everyone here knows you."

Damn it!

Xu Shirui wanted to kill someone.

His identity had been revealed, so covering his face was useless.

Of course, he didn't look back, he just ran faster.

The crowd of onlookers was clearly growing, and he really couldn't afford to lose face like this... Heaven-Grade Number One Private Room.

The Two People brothers wore expressions of worry.

Seeing this, Shen Xi asked: "What's wrong?"

The Fatty opened his mouth, about to say something, but after thinking it over, he closed it again.

Wang Lin, being younger, was more outspoken: "Brother Shen, there are simply too many Martial Arts. My brother and I are a bit overwhelmed. And the most important thing is that Martial Arts are divided into three tiers: Unranked, Acquired, and Innate. We want to Cultivate Innate Martial Arts, but..."

Shen Xi immediately understood.

Unranked ones cost a few hundred each, Acquired ones start at six digits, and Innate ones are in the billions.

The Fatty and his brother didn't have money; they looked down on Unranked ones, but couldn't afford Innate ones. In the end, Shen Xi would have to pay, so they were embarrassed to buy Innate ones.

To be precise, even for Acquired Martial Arts, the Fatty and his brother didn't have that much money.

"Do you know why Martial Arts are divided into different tiers?"

Shen Xi asked in return.

"Isn't it because the power of the Martial Arts is different?"

Wang Lin immediately replied.

Shen Xi nodded: "That is certainly one reason, but besides that, the difficulty of Cultivating Martial Arts is also a standard for classifying their grades."

"Unranked is the simplest; even an ordinary person would only need three to five years at most to Cultivate it to Perfection. Acquired is much more difficult; without external enhancements, even a Martial Artist would need ten or even twenty years. The difficulty of Innate naturally goes without saying."

"And if you want to speed up the Cultivation of Martial Arts, besides the help of external objects, one more point is crucial: that is, the Realm."

"The higher the Realm, the faster one comprehends Martial Arts. It's like viewing scenery; an ordinary person views scenery on flat ground, at most seeing only a few hundred meters away. A Martial Artist views scenery from a mountain, able to see ten miles away with a glance."

"For example, me, at the Great Accomplishment of Yuanqi Realm, if given an Unranked Martial Art, I could master it in the shortest amount of time, not needing several years at all."

"And Martial Arts are divided into Unranked, Acquired, and Innate for this very reason. Unranked is suitable for ordinary people and Martial Artists of the Blood Refinement and Origin Qi Realms. Acquired, as the name suggests, is suitable for Martial Artists of the Acquired Realm, and Innate is the same."

Hearing this, the Two People brothers fell into contemplation.

So, it wasn't that the higher the grade of Martial Arts, the better. For instance, in their current state, even if they were given a Heaven-Grade Martial Art, what good would it do?

They wouldn't be able to master it even if they spent their entire lives.

If they couldn't even understand it, how could they learn, comprehend, and master it?

"In my experience, Wang Lin, you are suitable for purchasing Unranked Martial Arts to first embark on the path of a Martial Artist. Once you reach the Blood Refinement Realm, then purchase Acquired-level Martial Arts; that is your limit to master. As for the Fatty, you can now purchase Acquired-level Martial Arts, and consider Innate-level ones when you reach the Origin Qi Realm. In fact, Acquired-level Martial Arts are already sufficient for you to use until the Xiantian Realm."

Shen Xi offered his advice.
