My Martial Arts Level Never Drops

Chapter 384: Chapter 185: Blood Luo

Inside the great hall, there were likely several thousand disciples; the meditation cushions were almost completely filled.

Even outside the hall, a great many people had gathered.

All eyes were on him.

Three months ago, Qin Fang might have been nervous.

But after the Martial Arts Examination and the discipleship ceremony... Qin Fang had gradually grown accustomed to being the center of attention.

But this was his first lecture, after all. To maintain his peak condition, Qin Fang entered a state of Contemplation. The world instantly seemed to fall silent as he entered a state of ’Calm Heart’, as tranquil as an ancient well.

His gaze was calm and clear as he swept it across the hall. He met the countless stares, his heart as tranquil as an ancient well.

His voice, empowered by True Essence, carried clearly to the ears of every disciple present.

”Good morning, fellow disciples. I am Qin Fang, here by my master’s command to engage in a brief discussion with you all.”

He spoke with composure, his voice calm and gentle, showing no trace of nervousness.

Seeing this, Master Gu and Senior Sister Wen, who were watching from a side chamber, both smiled in relief.

They nodded in approval.

His very first sentence was enough to put their minds at ease.

...Even though they had just encouraged Qin Fang by telling him the sky wouldn’t fall.

But Qin Fang was the Hall Master’s True Inheritance, after all. If he were to make a mistake, it would not bode well for him personally.

...Especially for a prodigy of his caliber.

Now, it seemed Qin Fang was handling it perfectly.

Qin Fang’s composed voice continued to ring out peacefully. ”I hear that among our audience today, many are fellow disciples still polishing their Huajin, and some are peers who have already broken through to the True Essence Realm but still harbor doubts about their foundation... My own time in cultivation has been short, and I am still tempering myself in the more profound methods, so I won’t make a fool of myself by trying to lecture on them. Today, what I wish to share are the essentials for the entry-level understanding of ’Breaking Realm’ and ’Mirror Flower Water Moon.’ I have some small insights into these two topics, which I would like to discuss with my fellow disciples. Please forgive any inadequacies in my explanation. Let us begin with ’Breaking Realm.’”

He paused for a moment. Seeing that everyone was now listening intently, he continued, ”I know that in the Tempering Martial Hall, masters and elders have often spoken of where the ’Divine Gate’ lies, how the ’Divine Fire’ is ignited, and how one’s ’Qi Blood’ can be perfectly transformed... These are all crucial, foundational points, so I will not repeat them.”

”Today, I wish to discuss the ’Martial Arts Third Realm’ with you all.”

Qin Fang’s opening gambit left everyone stunned.

’The Martial Arts... Third Realm?’

A murmur rippled through the great hall.

”The First Realm is straightforward enough. You can grasp it by practicing the Mental Pile. But the Second Realm and Third Realm... aren’t those things you have to comprehend on your own?”

Many of the Inner Sect Disciples began to murmur among themselves.

The Martial Arts Third Realm.

It was a purely conceptual matter, representing the three realms of Martial Arts within the Mortal Realm.

But the reason these Inner Sect Disciples of the Heavenly Gang Wuji Sect were in such an uproar... wasn’t because the Martial Arts Third Realm could enhance their combat prowess.

’No matter how much you improved, you were still in the Mortal Realm, right?’

When faced with the overwhelming superiority in speed and strength of the True Essence Realm, even the Third Realm was of little use.

What they truly desired was to transcend the mortal plane and step into the true Divine Domain!

And that...

...was precisely why they were in an uproar.

Because...

...the Third Realm of Martial Arts, ’Divine Strange Reflection’...

...was of immense help in breaking through the Divine Gate!

The Divine Gate was thick and solid. A normal attempt at Breaking Through was like a blind man running into a wall—gathering all one’s strength for a head-on assault, with no guarantee of success.

However, upon reaching the Third Realm, ’Divine Will Reflection,’ the mind becomes like a mirror, capable of reflecting pivotal weaknesses imperceptible to ordinary senses, allowing one to shatter the gate at a single point!

...Simply put, upon reaching the Third Realm, one could see the ’weak points’ on the Divine Gate!

This, it could be said, more than halved the difficulty of breaking through the Divine Gate!

...This was a conclusion unanimously reached by senior brothers from every branch—those who had failed to break through the Divine Gate multiple times, only to succeed after they finally stepped into the Third Realm of Martial Arts!

Therefore, it was a widely accepted fact... as long as one comprehended the Martial Arts Third Realm, and their foundation wasn’t too weak, a successful breakthrough was almost guaranteed!

Unfortunately...

The Martial Arts Third Realm relied too much on Talent.

Never mind the Third Realm... even the Second Realm...

...depended entirely on one’s own Talent and aptitude.

’So what is Senior Brother Qin doing?’

Many were surprised, including Elder Gu and Senior Sister Wen, who both frowned slightly, a worried look in their eyes.

They, of course, knew the importance of the Martial Arts Third Realm.

But they also knew how notoriously difficult the three realms were to teach.

...Even Elder Gu himself, when asked during lectures, could only say that it relied entirely on innate Talent and comprehension... something that could be grasped but never taught.

For Qin Fang to choose these three realms as his opening topic...

’This...’

They were starting to worry.

If Qin Fang’s words proved to be empty... or if others perceived them as empty, his first lecture would be a genuine disaster.

Amid everyone’s astonished gazes, Qin Fang’s expression remained unchanged as he slowly began to speak. ”The Martial Arts Third Realm. The First Realm is ’Observing Oneself as in a Mirror, as if Seeing God.’ The Second Realm is ’Thought Moves, Form Follows; Observing the Enemy as Patterns.’ The Third Realm is ’Divine Will Reflection, Anticipating the Enemy.’ ...Many have told you that these three realms are purely conceptual, that achieving them depends entirely on your personal Talent and aptitude. But in truth... that is not entirely correct.”

That single sentence left every Huajin Inner Sect Disciple in the hall dumbfounded.

Their faces were blank with confusion.

’The Martial Arts Realm... isn’t purely a matter of conceptual understanding?’

’Could there be a tangible, practical path?’

As they stared in bewilderment, Qin Fang stated calmly, ”There is a path. One that can take you from the First Realm, to the Second Realm, and all the way to the Third Realm.”

”What I intend to share today is the specific method for progressing from the First Realm to the Third Realm.”

After a brief pause, Qin Fang began to calmly elaborate.
