Chapter 364 Iza Kawatani Is Shocked

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Iza Kawatani wore a broad smile and said to Xiao Bing, “I was talking with Nami about you.”

Xiao Bing nodded awkwardly.

Feng XIII wondered why Master and Princess Nami talked about an ordinary warrior. Although a warrior has reached the peak of Transforming Strength, to the congenital masters, no matter how strong future masters are, they are just a little stronger than nonentities. Does such an ordinary warrior deserve to be mentioned?

Then Feng XIII noticed the affection in Princess Nami’s eyes when she looked at Xiao Bing and it suddenly dawned on him, but he felt a little incredulous. Almost everyone knew that Princess Nami was capricious. How could she fall in love with an ordinary warrior?

Feng XIII held the view that all acquired masters were ordinary. Only those who reached the Innate Realm could earn his respect. After all, there were only a few congenital masters in the world. There was an insurmountable gap between the inherent and the acquired.

Feng XIII was incredulous that his master was satisfied with Aoki Ichiro. He thought it over and found that it had nothing to do with him. As long as it would not affect his next plan, he would not care about who Princess Nami loved. Moreover, they were just in love. Feng XIII thought that Princess Nami was just having fun. Thinking about it, he calmed down.

Iza Kawatani looked at Feng XIII again. He was always strict with Feng XIII, but now his eyes were full of approval. He said, “I didn’t expect you to make such rapid progress. How did you reach Breaking The Void so quickly? Did you have some sort of an encounter?”

Xiao Bing was also a little surprised. When he clandestinely observed Feng XIII now, he realised that he had indeed reached Breaking The Void level.

But when he overheard him on the phone last night, he thought that Feng XIII was only at Gang-strength Stage at most. How could he reach Breaking The Void overnight? This kind of progress is surely too fast, isn’t it?

Only a handful of people in the world could reach Breaking The Void. In the past, only two childes of the Dark World succeeded. Later, Blood Wolf and Gao Fei made it. Blood Wolf was a military genius that Xiao Bing could not help admiring. And Gao Fei had a mysterious origin and had shown extraordinary strength since his appearance. Four people could reach the Breaking The Void in an era, which was already rather unimaginable to Xiao Bing.

After entering the Kokyo, Xiao Bing found that Iza Kawatani had broken through the realm and was a little above him. Xiao Bing was comfortable with that. Iza Kawatani was already one hundred years old, and he was the Warrior God in Country R. It was conceivable for a man who had studied martial arts for nearly a century and never degenerated physically to achieve that.

But now, even Feng XIII had broken through this realm. Six people who were known to have achieved the highest level in the history of martial arts was Mr. Buddha, Gao Fei, Blood Wolf, Iza Kawatani, Feng XIII, and him. Such a golden age of martial arts could barely happen once every one hundred years.

However, it aroused his endless boundless fighting spirit. The immortality was a state inaccessible to humankind, and it only existed in legends. Since such a prosperous age, never seen since ancient times, has appeared, he felt he might reach the stage of immortality if he made the effort.

Xiao Bing once lost his passion for the pursuit of martial arts because he had reached the highest level that was accessible to humankind. But now, his passion was ignited, and it grew stronger and stronger.

Even though Feng XIII had reached Breaking The Void, he showed respect for his master. He said with great deference, “I realized something in the last few days, and suddenly reached an unimaginable state.”

Iza Kawatani looked at Feng XIII and nodded, “Well, I accepted you as my apprentice because I knew that you’re gifted, and you’ll be able to reach the realm. However, I did not expect you to break through to the realm so quickly. I thought you would make the breakthrough in five years. It seems that you’re more talented than I thought.”

Feng XIII said immediately, “I was just fortunate to get the chance.”

Iza Kawatani said with emotion, “It needs chance and luck to gain achievements in martial arts. It’s rumored that the two childes of the Dark World both stood on the pinnacle and reached the limit that was accessible to humankind – Breaking The Void. Based on your strength, you might not be much weaker than them. In this world, you’re one of those who stand on the pinnacle of martial arts.”

Feng XIII said, “Master, I won’t forget your years of teaching. No matter what realm I reach, it’s due to your cultivation. In my opinion, you’re supreme in the martial arts in the present age. You’ll probably reach an unprecedented realm.”

Feng XIII’s words were somewhat flattering but not entirely so. In the past, Iza Kawatani was unfathomable like a sea in front of him. He always thought he could see through his master as long as he reached Breaking The Void. But he never thought that he would still not understand this centenarian thoroughly. It was obvious that Iza Kawatani was far stronger than him.

“I’m old.” Iza Kawatani sighed with emotion. He spent all his life pursuing the supreme realm of martial arts. When he was young, he set Breaking The Void as his lifelong pursuit because it was the limit that was accessible to humankind. In his later years, after he reached Breaking The Void, he suddenly found that it was not enough for him. So he locked himself in the imperial house and secretly practiced for forty years. Although he improved his realm, it was far from his desired goal. He was uncertain if he could reach immortality before death, which was his biggest regret now.

Because of this, he was now even more interested in his granddaughter’s husband-to-be.

Feng XIII said, “Master, you’re not old at all. Although you’re about to be one hundred years old, you’re different from normal people. You’re a descendant of the divine Iza Family, so you’re sure to live a long life. For ordinary people, it’s difficult to reach the age of 100. But not for you. As long as God gives you more time, who would dare to stop you from creating a martial miracle that has never existed before in human history?”

Iza Kawatani said, “I know my situation. Perhaps one day I can make it, but no one knows for sure. Feng XIII, although I’m normally strict with you, as your master, I’m satisfied with your current achievements. You came here today to tell me this, right?”

Feng XIII had his residences inside and outside the Kokyo. He rarely came to visit Iza Kawatani. It was most probably because Iza Kawatani was excessively majestic. Feng XIII always felt oppressed, and he felt out of breath in front of him.

Feng XIII said respectfully, “After I made a breakthrough, I wanted to tell you this good news. You give me everything I have, so you fully deserve such an honor.”

Iza Kawatani gave a rarely seen smile and nodded, perhaps because he found a favorite object after meeting Xiao Bing, or because Feng XIII made a breakthrough.

Feng XIII continued, “But in addition to this, I also have something important to tell you.”

“Oh, go ahead.” Iza Kawatani was in a good mood, and he was more agreeable than ever.

Feng XIII glanced at Xiao Bing and Nami. Nami was unpleasant and glared at Feng XIII, asking, “This is my grandfather. What is it that you can’t say in front of me?”

Iza Kawatani looked at Nami and said, “Nami, it’s almost noon, so you might as well take Mr. Aoki to have lunch first.”

Xiao Bing stood up wisely and laughed, “I happen to be a little hungry.”

“Okay.” Princess Nami stood up and walked over to Xiao Bing. “Grandpa, I’ll take my leave.”

“Um.” Iza Kawatani nodded slightly.

Before leaving, Princess Nami stared at Feng XIII with dissatisfaction, but Feng XIII was not affected. When Xiao Bing and Nami was far enough away, he lowered his voice, “Master, I’ve inquired about the whereabouts of the ‘Spear of Heaven’…”.

“What!” He had cultivated for one hundred years and got the supremacy in martial arts of Country R as the Warrior God, so not many things in the world could surprise him. Even so, Iza Kawatani suddenly stood up and became interested.

Xiao Bing went out with Princess Nami. He wanted to eavesdrop on their conversation and wondered if he could overhear any secrets. Feng XIII was weaker than him, but Iza Kawatani’s strength was unpredictable, so he could not guarantee that he would not be discovered. If he was suspected, it would affect his mission in Country R this time. Thinking that the loss would outweigh the gain, he had to give up and saunter off with Princess Nami.

Princess Nami walked along the road, fuming. She pouted and snorted, “Feng XIII is favorable in the outside world. Everyone knows that he is my grandfather’s disciple. But I think that he’s gone too far. He even looks down on me. I’ll teach him a lesson when I get a chance!”

Princess Nami had always been favored since she was a child. Everyone in the family treated her as a treasure. Feng XIII’s behavior caused her great dissatisfaction.

Xiao Bing did not like Feng XIII either. He had intended to persuade her, but he stopped after thinking for a while. He said with a smile, “They’re talking business. It’s not interesting for us to listen. It sounds like Feng XIII has broken through to an amazing realm, so it’s normal for him to be conceited for a while.”

Princess Nami snorted, “Didn’t my grandfather give him everything he had? He was nothing before me?”

Xiao Bing laughed, “Don’t be angry with him. You don’t want to bother yourself arguing with the likes of him. Let’s walk around in the Kokyo this afternoon. What do you think?”

Hearing Xiao Bing’s words, Princess Nami’s eyes lit up and asked happily, “Us?”

“Yes, you and I!”
