Garon walked to the side helplessly. He knew that he would not be able to pass with this result. The difference between half a minute and ten seconds was too big. Moreover, he thought that he would definitely become a senior disciple after learning the Explosive Fist Arts. He did not expect a mere tester to be so strong. He calculated that if he used all his strength and fought without holding back, he would not be able to win.
His opponent's punches were too fast, too powerful, and had a strange numbing effect. As long as he was hit twice at the same spot, just like what happened to him just now, the result was almost certain.
Bang bang!!
As expected, the brawny man did not last more than twenty seconds before leaving the stage with his hand on his shoulder.
The mustache man looked relaxed, not even sweating. He withdrew his fist and said to the three of them.
"Alright, the test is over. Your results are still too far away from passing. You have to continue working hard in the future. Go back. "
Garon realized that he did not use his full strength. Beating the three of them was like child's play to him. He secretly estimated the mustache man's level and strength.
"His strength is probably the same as mine, at the peak of adult physical fitness. But his speed is much faster than mine. Explosive Fist Arts is definitely not at the beginner level. It should be at the intermediate level or above. Judging by his position, White Cloud Secret Arts should also be at the intermediate level or above. He is also proficient in combat techniques. "
After comparing the mustache man's situation in his mind, Garon felt a little more confident.
The black-haired girl saw that the test was over and took a step forward.
"Teacher, can you tell us what level of martial artist you are now?"
"What level?" The mustache man smiled and adjusted his slightly wrinkled robe. "You know the levels of martial artists, right?"
The black-haired girl nodded. "I only know the level of Grandmaster of Combat given by the Federation."
"That doesn't count. That's just for show," the mustache man said casually. His interest was piqued. "Let me tell you about the levels in our circle."
He extended three fingers.
"The first level is the average person who knows some combat techniques. Or you can call it a hobbyist. Or you can call it a special forces soldier in the army. They can easily deal with one or two gangsters on the street. We call this the hobbyist level. "
"Hobbyists are the main source of income for our dojo, right?" the brawny man asked.
"That's right. Because these martial arts enthusiasts loved martial arts, they were willing to spend money on it. Just like when you first entered the school. In addition, the experts in our martial arts world are sometimes invited to teach some powerful martial arts enthusiasts at home. It is also the source of our circle's power network. When a master teaches his disciples, not only does he look at their physical fitness, but he also looks at their family background. "
"This is not bad." Garon nodded. "That's impossible. Teacher has taught someone and yet he still has to pay for their food and lodging. Furthermore, he doesn't even accept any money. Teachers are humans too. They need to eat and drink. "
"I know that as well," the black-haired girl said. "This is how our White Cloud Dojo operates. Furthermore, the Dojo Master himself is a wealthy businessman who owns a large business. "
"All of you are official disciples. You might even go out and teach others martial arts in the future. That's why I'm here to give you a hint. "The mustached man nodded. "There are two types of disciples in the martial arts world."
He stretched out an index finger.
"The first type is the disciples with powerful backgrounds. Such disciples are used as a cover to increase the influence of the industry. They don't need to be very powerful, but they must be beneficial to Master's business. "
Then, he stretched out a second finger.
"Next, it's the true legacy disciples. This type is mainly based on one's innate talent. They are taught to deal with situations where Master is old and weak and unable to fight. At this time, in order to not let one's sect become a stepping stone for others and to continue maintaining one's status and reputation in the martial arts world, one needs this type of legacy disciple to take the lead. "
"The selection of legacy disciples is very strict. It's completely different from the way ordinary disciples are taught. Many of them come from poor backgrounds. Therefore, Master is responsible for nurturing them. This kind of master-disciple relationship is the strongest in the martial arts world. It's equivalent to a father-son relationship. In the future, everything will be taken over by the strongest legacy disciple. This kind of disciple is used to keep up appearances. "
"Therefore, when you choose disciples in the future, you have to pay attention to these things. If you want to nurture disciples, you must have money and resources."
When the mustached man said this, a trace of reminiscence flashed in his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Oh right, we were talking about the division of martial artists just now. Why did we suddenly talk about this?" He smiled. "Let's talk about this division. The amateur level is the lowest level. Above that is the professional level. Professional martial artists who have been nurtured since young are more complicated. From the level where they can only fight three to five hooligans, to the level where they are not afraid of ten people at all, or even dozens of people surrounding them. As long as they don't use firearms, they will be fine. Without fighting, no one knows the depth of others. Therefore, they can only judge the approximate internal level from their fame and influence. Oh, also, the Federation's five levels, from A to E, can also roughly determine the strength of this circle. For example, I am the so-called E level. The level that can be represented by letters means that it has destructive power. "
"And the levels of the amateur level are the so-called 1 to 9. Above that is the letter level. "
"Above that is the dojo master level. This level in the martial arts world is qualified for very few people. It's not like you can be a dojo master just by opening a dojo. It's a true independent level. "
"Is this level the level that I've heard of before, the level that can shatter a large bluestone with one punch?" The brawny man's eyes lit up.
"Hehe … That's the story of Dojo Master Rezaro, the Fist of Beilun. More or less, that's the level. They have reached the true limit of the human body that ordinary people can't imagine. Dojo Master Rezaro's body can even block bullets. It can be said that his defense is second to none in the martial arts world. "The mustached man laughed.
"You can't reach that level. But it's because of those stories that people yearn for that that we stand out to practice martial arts, isn't it? "
"I yearn for the peak like Dojo Master Rezaro!"
"Does the dojo master level mean that he can fight against a hundred people alone?" The black-haired girl asked.
"If it's a normal hooligan, he can easily take them down one by one. One can barely be considered as fighting against a hundred people. Top experts at this level don't have any obvious shortcomings, whether it's endurance or speed. Those who have shortcomings would have died long ago. "The mustached man shook his head and sighed.
"Alright, you can all go back. Come back when you're done." He waved his hand. "Soak the part of your body that got hit in hot water and it'll be fine."
"Yes." The three of them responded. Although they did not pass this time, they obviously knew a lot of things about the martial arts world that were unknown to others. They were all rather excited.
It was Garon's first time hearing about the situation in the martial arts world. He felt that it was similar to the situation in China's martial arts world back on Earth. With a curious and excited look on his face, he walked out while thinking about his own situation.
'It seems that if I want to receive the core teachings without reservation, I have to become one of the two types of disciples. I don't have to think about the first type, but the second type is fine. It's just that it's a little difficult. '
"Hey, Garon, wait a minute!"
The mustached man suddenly shouted from behind him.
Garon was stunned and immediately turned around.
"Is there anything else?" He looked at the mustached man walking towards him in confusion.
"You passed the test. Why are you leaving?" The mustached man looked puzzled.
"I passed the test?"
Garon was stunned.
"Yes, you're only 16 years old. Your standards are different from theirs. Can't you see that they're all adults?" The mustached man said with a smile. "It's rare that you're the only disciple who passed the test in the past few years. Which branch are you from? Who's your instructor? "
Garon immediately reacted and was slightly happy.
"I'm from the Shengying Academy branch. My instructors are Sharmanla and Noah."
"Your physical fitness is not bad." The mustached man reached out and pinched Garon's shoulder. "With a little training, you're already at the level of 45 Dan. Just now, you took two of my punches and were fine. Especially the second one, you've already recovered. But looking at your profile, you were quite thin last month. Now you're growing fast! "
Garen chuckled as he did not know how to explain.
"Good! Kid, your foundation is not bad. Let's go. Follow me to meet the other senior brothers and sisters. I didn't expect to accept another disciple when I'm already over 50. "The mustached man said with a smile while stroking his beard.
"You're accepting a disciple?" Garon was stunned. "You're the owner of the White Cloud Dojo, Fei Baiyun?!!" He always thought that the man was just a testing instructor.
"Why? Don't I look like one? "The mustached man said with a faint smile.
"No, no … It's just that you're too young. You look less than 40 years old. I heard that the owner is already over 50 … "Garon quickly told the truth.
"Kid …" Dojo owner Fei Baiyun was speechless as he rubbed Garon's hair. "Actually, I'm old and have nothing to do. I just stay in the dojo and test the students to see if I can find any good seedlings. I didn't expect to meet a few after a few decades. They're your senior brothers and sisters."
"By the way, kid, you were hiding your strength just now. You're not embarrassed to hide your strength with such little things. When you meet your senior brothers and sisters later, don't reveal your strength. Otherwise, you'll embarrass yourself. Especially your Senior Sister. Back then, in order to practice martial arts, that little girl killed more than ten adult white bears by herself. "
The mustached man laughed.
"White bears …!!" Garon was really impressed. He had seen these creatures in textbooks before. They were as tall as a person when they stood up. They had thick skin and flesh. Bullets couldn't hurt them unless they were shot at close range. They had more than a ton of strength. That was more than 2000 pounds of strength. The senior sister that he had never met was able to kill more than 10 white bears. It was unimaginable!
"Of course, it's not like what you think. They're all fighting together. They're training one by one. White bears aren't very fast. You can win as long as you dodge and counterattack. However, you can't make any mistakes when dodging or your life will be in danger. However, your senior sister can only improve so quickly under this kind of life-threatening pressure. "
The mustached man said with some emotion.
"Let's go. I'll introduce you to the new people. I've seen your family's situation. Forget about the banquet. I'll invite some of my fellow dojos to witness it. It'll be a simple apprenticeship banquet. You don't have to worry about your family's living expenses. The dojo will pay for your training expenses in the future. In a few days, let your parents come over to witness the banquet. I'll officially accept you as my disciple. "
"Yes, master!" Garon nodded heavily. Although he was confident that he could take this step, he didn't expect it to be so soon.
In this world, in this era, the real martial arts circle would soon unfold before his eyes.
