Chapter 24 The Other Side of the World

  All along the way, Gao Tianming and Wang Ziqiang didn't say a word.

  Gao Tianming kept looking at the scenery outside the window, but his mind was thinking about things. He didn't know why Wang Ziyun had called him to his home, whether it was about his brother Wang Zixing's matter, or if he wanted to repay the favor of saving his life, it seemed unnecessary to go to his house for that.

  If you can't figure something out, just let it go and don't think about it anymore. Remain unchanged in the face of countless changes, and a result will eventually appear.

  Half an hour later, the car arrived at Tianyun Mountain.

  Watching Wang Zijun drive the car up the mountain, Gao Tianming couldn't help but ask: "Is your house built on the mountain?" This was something that had to surprise Gao Tianming, as he had never seen anyone living on a mountain in the city before.

  Wang Zi Kong turned his head and took a look at Gao Tian Ming, saying: "There's no one on the mountain to disturb us, so we'll live on the mountain." His tone was very calm.

  Upon hearing Wang Ziqiang's response, Gao Tianming's eyes twitched and he said: "Indeed, the thoughts of rich people are different from us ordinary folks."

  Upon hearing Gao Tianming's teasing words, Wang Ziqi surprisingly shook his head seriously and said: "You're not an ordinary person, ordinary people can't dodge bullets. Even some of the strongest martial artists in the world might not be able to dodge them."

  When Wang Ziqiang heard the serious answer to his joking words, Gao Tianming couldn't help but say awkwardly: "Haha, my previous words were just casual talk." He scratched his head and asked: "What did you mean by 'later five heavy'?"

  The car drove to the parking point of the mountain villa. Wang Ziqiang got out of the car and said, "Your problem is what I want to talk to you about today."

  Following Wang Ziqiang down the car, Gao Tianming saw a large mountain villa. Although Gao Tianming knew that Wang Ziqiang's family was very rich, he didn't think it would be to this extent, and there was actually such a large mountain villa, which was no longer something that could be owned simply by being rich.

  Gao Tianming followed Wang Ziqing to the backyard of the villa, along the way they met many servants who greeted Wang Ziqing, and Wang Ziqing responded one by one. Moreover, these servants did not ignore Gao Tianming, but instead smiled at him in a friendly manner.

  After walking for over 10 minutes, Wang Ziqiang finally stopped.

  In front of him was a stone table, surrounded by four stone stools. On the table, two cups of tea had already been poured. Prince Wang Xuan made a gesture with his hand and said, "Brother Gao, please sit down."

  Gaotianming didn't stand on ceremony either, found a stool and sat down, saying: "You don't have to call me Gaoge, just calling me Tianming is fine. Gaoge sounds strange, if I called you Wangzi, wouldn't you feel uncomfortable too?"

  Wang Zi Xiang smiled and said: "Just call me Zi Xiang, I came to find you today because there's something important I want to discuss with you."

  "What's important?" Wang Ziqiang glanced at him and raised an eyebrow, asking: "If there's something on your mind, just say it, I'm listening."

  Wang Zong took up the teacup on the table, took a sip and said: "I don't know where your martial arts skills come from?"

  When Wang Ziqing asked about his own martial arts, Gao Tianming hesitated for a moment and asked: "Why are you asking this? Do you also want to learn? But your martial arts skills are already very good."

  Upon hearing Gao Tianming's words, Wang Ziqing burst out laughing and said: "I'm not actually thinking of learning boxing, but rather I want to ask you, how much do you understand about this world?"

  "What's going on?" Hearing Wang Ziyu become more and more incoherent, Gao Tianming couldn't help but say: "What exactly do you want to say?"

  Seeing that his topic had sparked Gao Tianming's interest, Wang Ziqing slowly said: "When I first fought with you for the first time, I discovered that you have internal power, but you only know the basic body movement and won't use other applications. At that time, I suspected whether you were a true martial artist."

  Upon hearing Wang Ziqing's words, Gao Tianming became even more perplexed and asked: "What is a true martial artist? When you said I was a martial artist earlier, I was already confused. Can you explain it in more detail?"

  Seeing Gao Tianming's anxious look, Wang Ziqing couldn't help but laugh and said "I thought you wouldn't be anxious? Every time I see you, you're always so calm, I thought that was just your temperament."

  Upon hearing Wang Ziqiang's teasing words, Gao Tianming felt a wave of helplessness. However, since he had something to ask of him now, he could only endure the joke and let it pass.

  Seeing Gao Tianming not speaking, Wang Ziqiang also stopped teasing Gao Tianming and began to explain: "Okay, no more joking. Actually, our world has many supernatural abilities, and internal energy is one of them."

  "What kind of supernatural power? Specifically what?" Gaotianming asked in confusion.

  "There is another kind, that is supernatural power."

  "Special ability?" Ga Tianming suddenly exclaimed. This can't be blamed on Ga Tianming's surprise, he had always thought that having special abilities was his exclusive patent, now hearing that others also have special abilities, Ga Tianming's heart skipped a few beats.

  He looked at Gao Tianming strangely, not understanding why he reacted so much. Wang Ziqi continued: "Yes, it's heteropathy, and heteropathy is divided into close combat heteropathy, long-range heteropathy, and auxiliary heteropathy."

  Upon hearing that there are so many types of special abilities, Gao Tianming suppressed the surprise in his heart and continued to ask: "Are these special abilities similar to those depicted in some comics?"

  When Gao Tianming used comics to make an analogy, Wang Ziqian smiled and said, "Hmm, it's almost the same, but there are also some subtle differences. Moreover, our world has internal skills."

  Gao Tianming nodded and indicated he understood, then gestured for Wang Ziqing to continue speaking.

  Seeing Gao Tianming had understood, Wang Ziqiang continued: "Ordinary people can learn internal skills, and ability users can also learn internal skills. So in the early stages, ability users are much stronger than ordinary internal skill practitioners, but all of this will change after reaching the sixth layer of Heavenly Tribulation."

  "What's the meaning of 'Houtian Six Layers'?" Tianming asked in confusion, "You mentioned 'Houtian Five Layers' just now in the carriage, and now you're talking about 'Houtian Six Layers', what do these represent?"

  The prince waved his hand and summoned a servant to change the tea, then continued: "This involves the ranking of all internal martial artists' strength, from postnatal first rank to postnatal ninth rank, breaking through nine ranks to enter prenatal."

  " Innate?" Upon hearing this word, Gao Tianming was choked by his tea. This term often appears in the middle and has been used to death.

  Without paying attention to Gao Tianming, Wang Ziqi continued: "How powerful the Innate is, I don't understand, but by the time of the fifth stage of the Acquired Realm, the human body's reaction speed can be fast enough to dodge bullets due to the time it takes to pull the trigger. Of course, this situation is referring to when facing only one gun. As for the sixth stage of the Acquired Realm mentioned earlier, because that realm has begun to apply the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to strengthen oneself and attack, ordinary people who cultivate to that realm are already on the same level as ability users."

  When Gao Tianming heard Wang Ziqiang's words, he suddenly realized and remembered the scene of the last fight. Gao Tianming asked suddenly: "Ziqiang, what is your cultivation level now?"

  "You ask me?" Wang Ziqing put down the cup in his hand and said: "I started practicing the clan's internal skills from the age of 15, and now I have reached the peak of post-heavenly triple layers, just a few conditions away from advancing to post-heavenly quadruple layers. The post-heavenly triple layer can already bring internal energy out of the body to protect it."

  Gao Tianming thought for a moment about the scene of the two men fighting last time, nodded and said: "Then how many rounds will I get to after tomorrow?" When he asked this question, Gao Tianming had some expectations in his heart.

  Wang Zikong took a close look at Gao Tianming, and finally said dejectedly: "You have already reached the first level of Houtian, this strength is much stronger than that of ordinary people. But what I don't understand is, why can you dodge bullets? This is not something that a first-level Houtian can achieve." The difference between the first level of Houtian and the fifth level of Houtian was very clear in Wang Zikong's mind.

  Upon hearing Wang Ziqing's question, Gao Tianming chuckled and said: "I don't know either, maybe it was just a coincidence. By the way, you didn't come to me today just to introduce this knowledge to me, did you?"

  "Of course not! I came looking for you today because I need a favor from you!"

  Finally finished writing the last chapter. And it's over 2,500 words, hehe.
