This was a true Martial Arts Grandmaster who could manifest Qi Force externally. Lu Chenbing had always thought about the possibility of meeting a real Martial Arts Grandmaster, but he never expected that the Grandmaster he would encounter would be so young.

After a moment’s hesitation, Lu Chenbing clenched his fists tightly and said with utmost respect, “Lu Chenbing was blind to greatness and failed to recognize Tai Shan; I didn’t realize you were a true Martial Arts Grandmaster. Please forgive my earlier impertinence.”

Lu Chenbing’s current demeanor bore no trace of his previous arrogance; his eyes were filled with respect as if he were a little schoolboy who had done something wrong.

In the Ancient Martial World, it was common to revere the accomplished as teachers and the powerful as leaders. Although Xu Fan was young, his Martial Dao Cultivation was undoubtedly leagues ahead of Lu Chenbing, so his respectful attitude towards Xu Fan was very natural.

Originally, he took an interest in Xu Fan because Xu Fan had cured his brother Lu Chennong’s illness, and later saved him in the interrogation room. Now, Lu Chenbing genuinely respected and acknowledged Xu Fan for his Martial Dao Cultivation.

A Grandmaster, a title bestowed upon martial instructors who possess the ability to establish their own schools. Xu Fan’s cultivation, when compared within Yan Country, was a level not many could reach.

Lin Fan did not show any change in attitude due to Lu Chenbing’s behavior. He steadily held Lu Chenbing’s hand and smiled, “Elder Brother Lu, you must not be too polite to me.”

Lu Chenbing did not beat around the bush, he patted Xu Fan and said, “Ah, I, Old Lu, have seen countless individuals, yet I have never encountered anyone as mysterious and unfathomable as you. So young and yet already at the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm. I, Old Lu, used to pride myself on breaking through to the ‘Body-Tempering Realm,’ but now it seems my face is about to turn red.”

“Elder Brother Lu shouldn’t undervalue himself, your Baji Fist is extremely formidable,” Xu Fan lightly praised.

“Ah, although the Baji Fist is indeed fierce to the extreme, achieving True Qi Manifestation is something I probably won’t manage in this lifetime,” Lu Chenbing said with a smile, shaking his head and sighing, “It’s the old saying, the new wave is stronger than the old. The world truly belongs to the young.”

“Elder Brother Lu, is True Qi Manifestation considered a significant feat among martial artists?” Xu Fan, noting that Lu Chenbing mentioned True Qi Manifestation in almost every other sentence, asked him about it.

“True Qi Manifestation is indeed formidable, it’s the hallmark of becoming a Martial Arts Grandmaster. Even after I’ve fully mastered the ‘Body-Tempering Realm’ and reached the ‘Qi Drawing Realm,’ I can only attach True Qi to specific parts of my body for attacks. I’m absolutely unable to achieve True Qi Manifestation like you, which resembles shooting bullets with just a flick of the fingers. It’s really like the Dali Divine Swords’ amazing prowess, truly an eye-opener for me.”

“So even ‘Qi Drawing Realm’ can’t achieve True Qi Manifestation,” Xu Fan reflected on Lu Chenbing’s words.

He was currently practicing the Chaos Genesis Technique, having just opened his Qi Sea, which was considered the beginner’s level of Qi cultivation.

In this world’s Martial Dao, this already signified the strength of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, nearly the peak of martial force realms.

However, this world is not one where martial force reigns supreme. Despite their strength, martial artists can be felled by a single bullet, not to mention cannons, missiles, or even nuclear weapons.

Therefore, for Xu Fan, merely manifesting True Qi externally was not his goal; he had much greater aspirations.

Moreover, as Lu Chenbing’s knowledge on realms above Grandmaster was limited due to his personal limitations, whether there are higher levels of existence than Martial Arts Grandmasters in this world remains an open question.

However, combining what Xu Fan had seen of the Water-Drawing Array of Imperial Dragon before entering Lu Chennong’s villa, one could infer that this world should have even more mysterious cultivators beyond martial artists.

It seems that this planet isn’t necessarily free from danger.

Xu Fan thought to himself that he would need to pay more attention to the cultivation situation in this world. After all, this world was still rather unfamiliar to him. Before he figured out the roots of this world, Xu Fan had to be constantly vigilant to avoid falling into danger.

He had dominated the Cultivation World for thousands of years by relying on a cautious character, avoiding many crises, and finally becoming the revered Five Directions Great Emperor. So even after arriving on this planet with its faint spiritual energy, he still needed to improve his strength as soon as possible. Only with great power could he ensure his and his daughter’s safety, have more resources and voice, and let Tongtong enjoy the best childhood in this world.

At this moment, Tongtong saw Xu Fan making Lu Chenbing completely submissive, so she trotted over to Xu Fan excitedly and cheerfully said, “Daddy is so awesome, Daddy is so amazing.”

Xu Fan extended his hand to pick up Tongtong, gently rubbed her little head, and smiled, “That’s because Uncle Lu let Daddy win, you know? Uncle Lu is actually the most powerful, understand?”

“Mhm, Tongtong got it!” Tongtong nodded obediently, flashed a cute smile at Lu Chenbing, and said, “Uncle Lu, Tongtong thanks you on behalf of Daddy!”

Lu Chenbing’s face immediately turned a bit red with embarrassment. Although Xu Fan was teaching Tongtong to respect elders, in terms of martial prowess, high was high and low was low, and for such an honest and straightforward man to admit he had given way to Xu Fan in their recent sparring was even more exhausting than running a ten thousand-meter race with weights.

“Master Lin, you really mustn’t say any more, you’re being too flattering!” Lu Chenbing waved to Xu Fan, using the respectful title “Master” to address him.

That Lu Chenbing would address him in this way indicated he truly admired Xu Fan’s martial dao realm and virtue wholeheartedly.

“Brother Lu, you’re flattering me, just call me Brother Xu or Xiao Xu, it’s friendlier,” Xu Fan said with a light smile.

Lu Chennong also stepped in to mediate at this time, “Xiao Bing, Xiao Xu is sincere, don’t be too formal.”

“Big Brother, you really don’t know the terror of a Martial Arts Grandmaster. When you find out, you might be even more reserved than I am…” Lu Chenbing thought to himself.

“Yeah, don’t be formal. Just call me Xiao Xu. However, it’s a bit tricky for me when calling you both, as you’re both ‘Brother Lu’ to me, and I don’t know how to address you separately,” Xu Fan said in a relaxed manner.

“Ah, that is indeed a problem,” Lu Chennong pondered then suggested, “How about you call me Brother Lu and him Big Brother Lu? I’m a few years older than him, I’ll tentatively be the elder brother,” said Lu Chennong with a smile.

“Alright, Brother Lu, Big Brother Lu,” Xu Fan saluted them with cupped hands, smiling.

“My goodness, this is like Romance of the Three Kingdoms; you guys are nearly swearing brotherhood in the Peach Garden. Let’s get ready for dinner,” Zhang Meijuan, watching their brotherly calling and somewhat anxious, suggested to them.

“Yay, Tongtong wants to eat something delicious.” Tongtong was the first to clap her hands and cheer.
