What is a Martial Arts Master?
A master is someone who imparts knowledge and resolves doubts. Regardless of the profession, when a person reaches an exceptionally high level in a certain field and has no uncertainties about it, they are qualified to teach others and can be respectfully referred to as a master.
A Martial Arts Master is just that.
In the path of martial arts cultivation, there are two major milestones.
The first is the breakthrough from Third Rank to Fourth Rank. At this stage, a Martial Cultivator must possess great courage and perseverance, using a fearless heart to guide the raging Primordial Energy within them to break through the limitations of their meridians and undergo the refining of their tendons in order to succeed.
A Martial Cultivator who breaks through this milestone has already developed a firm resolve in their pursuit of martial arts. They are independent in personality, resilient in character, and possess their own unique style of conduct.
It can be said that this group of individuals has their own set of principles for dealing with others, which leads to significant differences in their personalities. Some may be wild, some arrogant, while others are courteous and gentle like jade. There are also those who act with cunning and ruthlessness.
The unique personalities of Martial Cultivators directly influence their martial arts styles. As their cultivation deepens, their every gesture will gradually reflect their strong martial arts style.
When this martial arts style reaches an extreme, it begins to condense into a force known as martial momentum.
The formation of martial momentum represents the second major milestone on the path pursued by Martial Cultivators. At this stage, they must realize their True Heart and comprehend their Personality. They must act according to their True Heart in all matters, achieving Unity of Knowledge and Action, so that nothing burdens their mind.
Martial Cultivators who reach this state have no doubts about their future path in martial arts. Ultimately, they condense a force unique to themselves and break through to the coveted realm of marrow refinement sought by countless cultivators.
This realm is also known as the Master Realm, and Martial Cultivators who attain this level are referred to as Martial Arts Masters.
Once a Martial Cultivator achieves the status of a master, their position undergoes a significant transformation. A Martial Arts Master will be treated with respect wherever they go within any Sect; no Sect would easily provoke a Martial Arts Master.
This is because once a Martial Arts Master establishes their momentum, their combat power will undergo earth-shattering changes.
If faced with a beginner Martial Cultivator, a Fourth-Rank Martial Practitioner is said to be able to take on a hundred opponents, a Fifth-Rank Martial Practitioner can face a thousand, and a Sixth-Rank Martial Practitioner can contend with ten thousand. Although they are all incredibly powerful, theoretically, if one is willing to fight to the death, it is still possible to exhaust them with sheer numbers; after all, no matter how strong a warrior is, there will always come a time when they tire.
However, Martial Masters are different. At this level, numbers lose their significance. Once their martial aura is unleashed, nearly all Martial Cultivators below the master realm will be greatly affected. Those with weaker wills may find themselves completely immobilized, becoming lambs to the slaughter.
Some Martial Masters, driven by a murderous intent, can even scare people to death without lifting a finger once their martial aura is released.
People respect Martial Masters primarily because of their formidable combat abilities.
There is also another reason: the saying "the accomplished are teachers." In this world where martial prowess is revered, individuals who have already paved the way in martial arts command immense respect.
If intermediate Martial Cultivators are seen as independent personalities who act with strong personal styles, they have not yet reached the level where they can do as they please without constraint; there are still many factors in the world that can limit them.
Martial Masters, however, are different. At their level, they represent humanity's top-tier combat power. Aside from some rules established by super sects, most legal regulations in the world can no longer bind them.
For them, the constraints on their behavior often come from rules set by even stronger beings or from their own principles and values.
In a sense, Martial Masters are dangerous individuals who act according to their whims and personal preferences.
The reason Crazy Diamond is called Crazy Diamond is not only because his most prized Secret Technique is the Crazy Demon Diamond Body but also because he himself behaves in a wild and reckless manner.
Once he goes berserk, he would dare to overturn even the heavens. In the past, when he was displeased, he had the audacity to point at the nose of a Demon Sect Master and curse him out. Although he was severely injured by a single palm strike in return, it shows just how fearless he usually is.
At this moment, Lufan has managed to provoke such an individual, putting himself in real trouble.
After seeing Lufan flee, Crazy Diamond smashed through a wall and chased after him in one stride. He reached out to grab Lufan's waist with overwhelming force; it was evident that he was using all his strength.
If he were to grip tightly, even a steel pillar would likely be crushed flat; let alone Lufan's mere flesh-and-blood body. Clearly enraged, Crazy Diamond no longer cared about Lufan's life or death.
The young lady only instructed to capture this brat, but she never specified whether to bring back a living person or a corpse.
At the same time, Madman Kong unleashed an even more powerful Martial Momentum towards Lufan. He couldn't believe that this kid could truly withstand his pressure!
However, facing this several times stronger Martial Momentum, Lufan seemed completely unfazed. With a swift turn, in what appeared to be an unavoidable situation, he once again astonishingly escaped from Madman Kong's grasp and slipped into another building by the roadside.
Madman Kong's anger surged again. Being repeatedly evaded by an ant with First Rank cultivation was an indescribable humiliation for him. He charged into the building but lost track of Lufan once more.
However, he soon sensed that Lufan was just behind the building, so without hesitation, he smashed through the wall to get outside.
This time, Lufan had already figured out the trick. Although his opponent was powerful, in this cave filled with buildings, Madman Kong's massive frame limited him significantly. Meanwhile, Lufan could use his agile movements and take advantage of the cover provided by these structures to gradually approach his destination.
Having made up his mind, Lufan began darting through various buildings while Madman Kong behind him resembled a mad demolition machine, smashing everything in his path to pieces.
During this chase and escape, Lufan had already reached the northern area.
The fury inside Madman Kong was beyond words. This kid was like a cunning mouse, darting around in these buildings. Just when he seemed about to catch him, he would suddenly vanish.
What infuriated him even more was the environment here, which completely restricted his speed. If they were in an open space, he would have captured this kid long ago.
In desperation, he shouted, "Kid, are you just going to hide like a rat? If you have guts, stop running!"
As soon as these words left his mouth, not only did Lufan feel disdainful inside, but even the robbers who had long hidden at the edges looked at him with strange expressions.
You are a Martial Arts Master chasing a First Rank Martial Cultivator and don't allow him to escape—what kind of reasoning is that? Do you still have any shame left?
Madman Kong clearly realized that his outburst was inappropriate. However, since he had already said it, there was no way to take it back. He could only vent his anger on the building in front of him. He decided that even if he had to demolish all the buildings here, he would force this kid out.
However, at that moment, Lufan spoke up, "Alright, big guy, don't say I didn't give you a chance. If you have the guts, keep up with me. If you catch up, we'll fight to the death!"
As he said this, he dashed out of a room and quickly headed north.
Madman Kong tore through a wall and found himself in an open space. Lufan was more than twenty yards ahead of him, and he couldn't help but feel overjoyed as he hurried to catch up.
Where do you think you're running to?
The terrain of the cave resembled a dish—low in the center and high around the edges. At the northern end, there was a row of massive ventilation openings over two yards high, which was Lufan's chosen escape route!
In front of these ventilation openings stood some Robbers. However, when they saw the Mask Man approaching, they were filled with confusion.
They certainly knew there was a row of ventilation exits here, but outside those openings was nothing but sheer cliffs and bottomless abysses—there was no way to escape!
Nevertheless, despite not knowing what the Mask Man intended to do, they quickly made way. After all, this guy had a killing machine right behind him; they had all witnessed what happened to their companions and didn't want to be caught in the crossfire.
Once they reached an unobstructed area, the strength of the two became immediately apparent. Even though Lufan had pushed his speed to the limit, he could still hear the earth-shaking footsteps behind him getting closer. Fortunately, the exit was already in sight; there was still time!
The Robbers watched as the Mask Man zipped past them towards the exit, their mouths agape. This guy wasn't slowing down—did he want to die? Didn't he know there was a cliff outside?
Madman Kong also didn't realize there was a cliff outside; he only saw the row of openings ahead and thought that kid was about to escape through one of them. Anxious, he disregarded his exhausted body and forcefully used a secret technique to increase his speed again, reaching out for Lufan.
"Kid, don't run!"
The Robbers' mouths dropped even wider. Were these two crazy? With that height of the cliff outside, even if a Martial Arts Master fell down, it would surely end in a gruesome fate.
Then, the Robbers witnessed a scene they would never forget.
Just as Lufan was about to be caught by Madman Kong, he suddenly leaped forward with all his might, using the momentum to fly out of the cave, distancing himself from the cliff, landing over twenty feet away from the entrance!
When Madman Kong missed grabbing Lufan and was about to rush out as well, he suddenly saw a vast expanse of white ahead; outside was a Void, completely empty with no place to land!
This left him pale with shock. In a moment of crisis, he quickly exerted all his strength and stomped down on the rock in front of him to halt his momentum.
However, the rock layer beneath him could not withstand this immense force and collapsed, causing Madman Kong's body to sink down.
Amidst the gasps of surprise, Madman Kong grabbed onto a rock above his head and ultimately escaped the fate of falling into the abyss.
After confirming that he was safe, everyone's attention shifted back to Lufan. Just when everyone thought he was doomed, they suddenly saw him pull something from his body. Then, all were left dumbfounded by what they witnessed.
The leather jacket covering Mask Man's back suddenly billowed upward and with a loud bang inflated into a massive mushroom shape, effectively halting his descent!
“Hahahahaha!”
Suspended in mid-air, seeing Madman Kong's disheveled appearance, Lufan couldn't help but laugh loudly.
Although it was a pity that he couldn't eliminate such a powerful enemy, successfully escaping after killing Li Hao while being pursued by such figures brought him immense satisfaction.
Feeling the surrounding sea of clouds and the astonished gazes from those at the edge of the cliff, he suddenly recalled four lines of poetry that seemed somewhat out of place and couldn't help but recite them.
"Kill one person every ten steps; leave no trace for a thousand miles. When the matter is settled, I brush off my clothes and go; hiding my name and self deep within." Big guy, consider yourself lucky this time for not dying; we shall meet again next time!
