471: Come to your door

"Maple Leaf! Long time no see! You're out of seclusion? Are you going to the Martial God Hall again?" "Familiar faces" on the road greeted Maple Leaf with smiles.

"Yes! Same as always!" Maple Leaf replied with a smile. She was still the same as before, following her routine of going to the Martial God Hall to get beaten by the Martial God after coming out of seclusion.

Actually, she didn't have to take that beating, but Maple Leaf was just a bit "masochistic." Every time she came out of seclusion, she had to get beaten to clear her head, so that the "inflated" strength she gained during seclusion could calm her "excited" mind and make her sober up.

Perhaps thanks to Maple Leaf, the Martial God also made considerable progress.

Currently, in the entire Martial God Hall, only Maple Leaf, the Martial God's successor, dared to do this.

She would seek out the Martial God for a fight whenever she had nothing to do, and the key was that her Martial Will was also very high, making her an excellent sparring partner for the Martial God.

Maple Leaf was chasing after the Martial God, but because of her, the Martial God's gap with her had never significantly narrowed.

It must be said that the Martial God's talent was also terrifying.

If Maple Leaf didn't have the Enlightenment Room, it would be truly unlikely for her to catch up to the Martial God.

Fortunately, with the help of the Enlightenment Room, Maple Leaf's strength was continuously closing in on the Martial God.

Of course, looking at this progress... it might take about a year to even have a slight chance.

That's assuming the Martial God doesn't have a major breakthrough.

Maple Leaf arrived at the Martial God Hall with ease, searched around, and found no trace of the Martial God.

"Where's the Martial God?" Maple Leaf stopped a passing Martial God Hall disciple and asked.

"I don't know, Maple Leaf! How could we disciples know the whereabouts of the Martial God?" The disciple shook his head and said.

"Alright." Maple Leaf nodded and let him go.

Hmm~ If she couldn't find the Martial God, didn't that mean she wouldn't get her beating today?

Go back into seclusion? No way, she felt like she would go crazy if she went back into seclusion.

Although it was just seclusion in the "time acceleration" Enlightenment Room, she had indeed stayed there for several months.

She really couldn't bear it; she was just a child!

"Let's first find out what's new recently." Maple Leaf thought for a moment. Without this beating, she really didn't know what to do... She realized that she knew absolutely nothing about the developments, changes, or events in Austerlitz City during this period!

This was not a good thing, so Maple Leaf decided to thoroughly understand what had been happening recently.

She went to the "front desk" of the Martial God Hall and had a good chat with someone.

There had been quite a lot of things happening recently.

The Sun God had awakened and had been frequenting the tavern recently, causing the tavern's business to boom every day.

It was also a harvest day recently, and under the grace of the God of Harvest, there was a great harvest, just like in previous years.

It was said that the Wind God had appeared before the world again, truly as free as the wind, spending every day either reciting poetry and playing the zither or drinking and watching plays.

The Fist God recently had a new successor.

...

There were quite a lot of things, and Maple Leaf generally understood them.

"Hmm~ Quite a few successors have appeared recently. Is this the rise of a new generation?" Maple Leaf stroked her chin and glanced at the Cross-World Group.

Everyone in the group had an "↑" symbol after their world level, including hers. Of course, the only exception was Jun Li's Sword Origin World, which had a "↓" symbol.

It seemed that everyone's worlds were developing, and in a good direction, not stagnating.

As for Jun Li's world, that was quite special.

"Since there are quite a few new generations, as a member of the new generation, I should get to know them properly!" Maple Leaf made up her mind. She would first go to meet the Fist God's successor.

Either get beaten, or get beaten.

It's a choice between the two.

So Maple Leaf asked where the Fist God's Temple was.

"That, Maple Leaf, the Fist God doesn't have a temple... but he did open a Fist Intent Dojo... You can try looking there," the Martial God Hall attendant told Maple Leaf.

"Alright! I understand!" Maple Leaf nodded. It seemed the Martial God had more prestige and was stronger than the Fist God, after all, the Martial God created a Martial God Hall, which was a temple!

While the Fist God only had a Dojo.

The most obvious difference between gods should be whether or not they had a temple.

Many minor gods probably only had a small "altar" where statues were placed, and believers just worshipped.

Many gods didn't even have that, relying entirely on "word of mouth."

Of course, even without a single believer, a god was still a god, their divine position would not change, their divinity would not weaken, and their divine power would not decrease.

After Maple Leaf inquired about the location of the Fist Intent Dojo, she walked towards it.

The Fist Intent Dojo was quite conspicuous, with a considerable area, seemingly exceeding five thousand square meters.

It was roughly the size of more than half a football field.

The main gate of the Fist Intent Dojo was open.

Maple Leaf walked straight in and saw the spacious main hall of the Dojo, or rather, the indoor training ground.

At this moment, there were twenty to thirty people wearing training uniforms with the Fist Intent Dojo emblem, practicing their fists.

"Hello! I am the senior disciple of the Fist Intent Dojo. Do you have something?" A disciple saw Maple Leaf, a stranger, enter and walked over to ask.

"Senior disciple? Are you the Fist God's successor?" Maple Leaf heard his words. The senior disciple of the Fist Intent Dojo should be the highest-ranking one, right?

"Ah! The Fist God's successor? You're here to find Hua Song, aren't you?!" The senior disciple realized upon hearing Maple Leaf's words.

"Yes! If Hua Song is the Fist God's successor, then it's him," Maple Leaf nodded. She didn't care if it was Hua Song or Hua Jin, only if he was the Fist God's successor.

"Hua Song is comprehending Fist Intent in the quiet room. He should be coming out soon. Would you like to wait?" The senior disciple told Maple Leaf.

"Sure! No problem. I'll just stand by. Is that okay? Will I disturb your practice?" Maple Leaf asked.

"No bother!" The senior disciple waved his hand and said, then went back to continue practicing, occasionally guiding his junior disciples.

Maple Leaf watched them practice. Unlike the Martial God's fists, the fists in this Dojo seemed more rigid and fierce.

They belonged to the pure Yang type, no wonder there were no female disciples... The Martial God's fists, proportionally, should be about seven parts Yang and three parts Yin.

In other words, they were relatively balanced but leaned towards rigid and fierce.

However, the Martial God didn't only know this type of fist; he had both rigid and soft fists, otherwise, how could he be called the Martial God?

Therefore, the Martial God Hall also had many female disciples.

However, this Fist God, although he became a Fist God, only reached this height in the path of the fist, which was equivalent to establishing a sect.

And there wasn't just one Fist God... each of them could be considered a "Grandmaster"; they established their own sects.

Acquired Gods still had a big difference from Innate Gods.

Maple Leaf quietly observed the disciples of the Fist Intent Dojo practicing their fists.

Not long after, a sturdy man, about 1.8 to almost 1.9 meters tall, with neat short hair, walked in.

The man had regular features and a resolute face; he looked like a very masculine man at first glance.

He was wearing the uniform of the Fist Intent Dojo, so he should be Hua Song, the Fist God's successor!
