Noticing the change in Fade's expression, Hewez smiled and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Fade, don't feel pressured. Double Blades and Prohibition Island have been fighting for centuries. They've been at each other's necks, but they are still here after so long. This is not an overnight matter." "Besides, Master Hsuanyuen adopted and trained you to deal with Prohibition Island, not to be a Double Blades killer."
"He once said that when you grow up and know the truth, you can make your own choice. Whether you want to join the Double Blades or not, we won't force you."
Hearing this, Fade was moved and felt warm in his heart.
He was only hearing from one side, so it was hard to differentiate the good and bad between Double Blades and Prohibition Island. However, with his limited experience, judging from the scene he saw in the dungeon of Skytop Palace and his master's attitude towards himself, he leaned more towards believing in Double Blades.
Multiple scenes flashed through his mind. He suddenly recalled the task of passing a message to Yarrow in Skytop Palace.
Without hesitation, Fade told Hewer the whole story.
After hearing the entire story, Hewer was a little emotional. He smiled and said, "Senior Yarrow is still alive. Master Hsuanyuen must be very happy if he hears the news. I believe the victory of Double Blades won't be far."
"I believe it too!" Fade nodded.
Still, he could not help but ask, "Hewer, what am I supposed to do here? Do I wait until Master heals Grandmaster?"
Hewer replied, "Master Hsuanyuen has informed us that if you complete your mission, we will proceed to the next step."
"The next step? What is it?" Fade looked puzzled.
Hewer smiled and looked at him, saying, "Cultivation!" "Cultivation?" Fade looked at him in astonishment.
Hewez said, "I know that you are quite talented in cultivation. In the past few years, you have made rapid progress, and now, you have become a well-known person. Are you too into yourself?"
"Hewez, I'm not..." Fade scratched his head. He wanted to deny it, but when he thought of the battle with Viktor and Taruca, his expression turned serious.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Looking at Hewez, he nodded and admitted, "Yes, a little. Ever since I entered the Lord Level, the opponents I met were all defeated in the end, no matter if they were the leaders of the major martial arts organizations, the Sacred Hall, or Dragon Bone Island."
"Thus, I let down my guard on the Lord Level masters. I only noticed how far I was from mastering cultivation when I met with Viktor and Taruca in the Ice-sealed Realm. A real master is way stronger than me."
Hewez patted him on the shoulder, "I'm glad that you acknowledge your shortcomings, but don't belittle yourself. You're still so young. To be able to reach Lord Level at your age, you're already much stronger than us at the very least."
"Viktor and Taruca, they have both been toptier experts of the Lord Level for over thirty years. You've just entered the Lord Level. Compared to them, it's natural for you to be at a disadvantage."
Fade listened carefully and then asked, "Hewez, how can I improve myself so that I can catch up with them as soon as possible?"
Instead of giving him a direct answer, Hewez returned him with a question, "Fade, have you ever heard about how everyone says that the Lord Level is the peak of martial arts and that once you reach there, you are of tip top standards?"
"However, there are also strong and weak candidates in every realm. The Lord Level is no exception. How do we categorize their strengths then?" Fade was stunned and began to ponder on the question.
Hewez did not rush him for a reply, but he quietly examined Fade who was lost in his thoughts.
A moment later, Fade replied, "This is what I think. Under normal circumstances, one can enter the Lord Level after comprehending 10,000 streaks of martial essences."
"The vast majority of the martial artists would enter the Lord Level after achieving this. However, some do not wish to enter so quickly. Instead, they would rather raise their comprehension of martial essence to the limits and only enter the Lord Levet after exceeding 10,000 streaks of martial essences. In this way, those who have accumulated more martial essence will naturally be stronger than those who have only mastered the minimum 10,000 streaks."
"In most cases, a martial artist can only sense one kind of martial essence. However, under special circumstances, one can sense two or even more.
If the martial essence is of the same amount, those who have mastered multiple kinds of martial essence will naturally be stronger."
"In conclusion, it all comes to the amount and quality of the martial essence."
Hewez nodded, "You are right. The amount and the quality of the martial essence are indeed closely related to one's strength."
"However, that's not all of it. You missed out one important point; the body of the martial artist."
"Body?" Fade asked in confusion.
"Like you mentioned just now, most of the Lord Level martial artists can only comprehend one kind of martial essence, or can only master 10,000 streaks of them. Then, they would enter the Lord Level. However, there are also martial artists who are innately able to sense two or more martial essences and master more streaks. This is the difference in talent, so there's nothing much to talk about."
"How do you think the cultivation of the most common martial artists will be, after they've reached the Lord Level?"
Fade thought for a moment and replied, "Do they continue to absorb spiritual energy and improve their martial essence?"
Hewez nodded and continued, "You're not wrong. Most of the martial artists cultivate like that after reaching the Lord Level. However, most of them have reached a hitch in their martial essence when they are trying to ascend to the Lord Level."
"Although they can still continue to improve their martial essence over time, they will take a lot of time."
"Therefore, for the vast majority of Lord Level experts, they have a tough time enduring through that process. The longer the time, the more martial essence one accumulates, and so does his strength."
Fade was lost in his thoughts again as he listened to Hewez.
He suddenly felt a strange sense of sadness in his heart.
"Could it be that the Lord Level is truly the peak of martial arts? Is it a dead end and all you can do is to move forward slowly?" Noticing the thoughts and strange expressions in Fade's eyes, Hewez asked, "Do you feeNike your cultivation has entered a dead end and you have nowhere to go?"
Fade nodded. "Yeah, that's exactly what I feel after hearing your words."
"Also, my martial essence comprehension has indeed slowed down ever since I entered the Lord Level."
