"Teacher, is there something wrong?"
Xiao Chen asked with an innocent face even though he knew the reason Fang An looked confused looking at him.
A few hours ago after returning from his mission, the first thing Fang An did after arriving at Bamboo Sword Villa was to check on Xiao Chen's progress.
For the past year, according to Fang An's observations, Xiao Chen really enjoyed studying. Xiao Chen even chose not to socialize with children his age and spent his time in the study room so Fang An was worried that Xiao Chen actually had no interest in martial arts.
Fang An had indeed asked Xiao Chen to start training his physique some time ago in preparation for Xiao Chen to learn martial arts at the age of 8. Fang An thought that when he went on a mission, Xiao Chen would prefer to spend his time reading books rather than training his physique.
In fact, not only did Xiao Chen's physical strength increase rapidly but the quality of his bones also increased at a speed that Fang
An did not think was possible.
"Does Chen'er actually have high talent as a swordsman but he needs more training to unleash his potential?" Fang An thought.
Given the quality of Xiao Chen's bones now, there was no reason for Fang An to delay Xiao Chen's martial arts training until the age of 8. With his position as Sword Elder, Fang An could request that Xiao Chen be allowed to train before the age of 8 even though he was a disciple from outside the sect.
Fang An only had one disciple and had made great contributions to the Hundred Sword Valley over the past few years so this shouldn't be a difficult request to fulfill considering that Fang An had never asked for anything like this before.
"Chen'er, if you train diligently it seems possible that you will become a master level swordsman before the age of 30." Fang An finally spoke after a long silence.
"Master level swordsman?" Xiao Chen actually understood Fang An's intentions but he still had to ask since he shouldn't have known this information.
Fang An nodded slowly before starting to explain that in the martial arts world, warriors are divided into several classes based on their abilities.
A person can be said to be a warrior if he masters one type of martial art and has the strength to defeat five healthy adult men. A warrior like this is called a third-class warrior.
When a warrior masters the art of lightening the body which allows him to jump as high as five meters and has the ability to face three to five third-class warriors, then he will be called a second-class warrior.
If someone masters several martial arts, has high body lightening art and has ten circles of internal energy, then he can be called a first-class warrior.
The dozens of people who used to try to attack Lin Fan at the inn were a combination of third- and second-class warriors.
Expert-level warriors are the next class from first-level warriors. There are many provisions that make someone called an expert-level warrior, but one main requirement is that someone must have at least 60 circles of internal energy to become an expert warrior.
One in a hundred expert warriors in the martial arts world will be known as Titled Warriors, meaning they are expert warriors whose abilities are recognized in the martial arts world. Fang An for example is one of the Titled Warriors because he is known as the Jade-Faced Warrior.
In a large sect like the Valley of Hundred Swords which has around ten thousand warriors in it, even though only less than five hundred people reach the Expert Warrior ability, quite a lot of these Expert Warriors become Titled Warriors.
Xiao Chen knows that Fang An was born with extraordinary martial arts talent because Fang An was born with the physique of Young Tiger Bone quality.
Coupled with the various resources his family has, Fang An managed to become an expert warrior at the age of 16 despite the internal injuries he had and finally became the Sword Elder at the age of 17.
Talent like Fang An is actually rare even in large sects, it's just that his talent is hidden and escapes the attention of important figures like Jiang Kun because Fang An's character prefers to be humble and hide his
abilities.
"Teacher, I prefer to learn for now. It's not too late if I learn martial arts in a few more years..."
Xiao Chen didn't want to rush to learn martial arts, after all, he was still re-training some of the martial arts he had learned in his previous life. For Xiao Chen, the most important thing now was to improve the quality of his bones so that he could
practice the Heavenly Dragon God Scripture to the fullest .
Fang An actually caught something different from Xiao Chen's answer , when he wanted to try to persuade Xiao Chen to start practicing , a sect member came to Bamboo Sword Villa .
" Elder Fang , Sect Leader asks all Sword Elders to gather in the main hall right now . " The sect member said hurriedly , after saying that he immediately took his leave because he had to inform the other Elders .
Fang An could see that something serious had happened , " Chen'er , we will continue this discussion later after I return . "
After saying that Fang An left for the main hall while Xiao Chen remained in Bamboo Sword Villa .
Xiao Chen's expression changed slightly after Fang An left Bamboo Sword Villa , he went to the secret room to open his notebook .
" So it's true , no wonder I didn't meet Sect Leader Jiang during the Water Ginseng harvesting the past few times ... " Xiao Chen frowned .
According to his notes, it should have been around this time that a major event occurred, namely the struggle for the throne between the princes. This political war that occurred every few decades always involved the inhabitants of the martial world.
Xiao Chen did not remember much in detail
everything that happened because when all this happened in his previous life, he did not understand much about the world. Xiao Chen only remembered Fang An going to the Capital for quite a long time, leaving Xiao Chen in the Young Sword Pavilion to study under Yue Lian.
Fang An only returned to the Bamboo Sword Villa at midnight, he thought Xiao Chen was asleep so he did not call him to continue their conversation. Coughing sounds were heard from time to time, Xiao Chen knew that Fang An did not sleep that night because he was thinking about many things.
