He reminded me of this after I had completely forgotten about, made me focus all my attention back to him, a second before I was already getting ready to say goodbye and leave the Dojo before any accident happening, like running into someone that I didn't want to meet, that sort of accident must be avoided at any cost .
But his question aroused my curiosity and made all the other thoughts about currently leaving the Dojo disappear, I nodded hurriedly at the Senior Brother in front of me, answering positively to his question and my reaction was enough to surprise him a little, but soon he regained his composure and with a wry smile, he began saying :
What I'm about to tell you next is somewhat weird information that was neither true nor false, meaning that some of the words that will be coming out of my mouth will still unconfirmed to the most part, as I said before some of it are true and some to this day hadn't been confirmed, so it was labeled as false by default, which is which that's completely up to the person hearing the story to decide .
I thought that he was going to tell me an interesting story or some pieces of it at least, that was the reason why he was acting so vague, but his next words had me completely discarding these thoughts out of my mind, he continued to say :
The relationship between the two Martial Skills was actually simple and wasn't in the same time, simple because the relationship was easy to be understood, not because let me just say that it was much context to it than what meet the eyes .
Both of the two books were written by the same person, they were also linked together with another Yellow Low-grade Martial Technique, all those skills were written by a person at the Martial Master level which meant that person was at the Viscera Refinement Realm the 5th and last Realm of the Building Foundation Realms .
A mighty figure, no matter which angle you try to look at him from and when a guy that strong write down about his skills, all people thought that he will write a legendary skills that would make a person soar to the heaven, but he shocked the world by what he had written, but the shock of people this time was in a weird way because when people thought what Martial Arts might be written and passed by such a strong man must be at least Earth-grade or Heaven-grade even, it must be a high level Martial Techniques and Skills, but all of them didn't anticipate that the Martial Arts that were passed down to be of the inferior Yellow Grade .
The first appearance of those first three Martial Arts caused a terrible bloodshed, even though the Martial Arts were literally ignored by that others who got their hands on, some called it useless Martial Arts, some called it a trick of some sort, this happened even before the Qin Dynasty came to rule .
The bloodshed was due to the fact that there were some rumors that the Senior who wrote these books were seeing opening the Gate Of Heavens and he ascended, no one heard a word of him after that, these three Martial Arts were a Martial Technique, Martial Skill, Secret Martial Skill, all were of the Yellow-grade, but of different grades of the Yellow-grade .
When people searched the place the place where he was seen last, they found the three books in a wooden house that Senior lived in until he supposedly ascended, together with a journal and the last piece of that journal was what marked the starting of the bloodshed .
In the journal, the Senior told a lot about his life experience and on and on, but the last pages were a message to whoever find this journal, the last message that strong man left was that their was a secret to those three books of Martial Arts, one that will be enough to shake the foundation of this world .
The people who thought about those books being a joke before were no longer thinking this, people from every direction began to gather clues wanting to find the secret that was mentioned, but even after collecting and practicing the Martial Arts mentioned, they weren't able to gain insight to that secret, what's worse was the fact that people began fabricate secrets of their own and selling it as the real Martial Arts that had the secret .
Then more copies of the fake Martial Arts books were mixed with the correct ones, which resulted in a bloodshed due to people mistrusting one another, believing that they weren't able to get the secret not because of their lack of fate with it, or their mediocre capabilities, no they believed that someone might have tempered with the Martial Arts and that just to kept the secret to themselves .
Throwing the whole realm in a period of bloodshed, one that only stopped by the Qin Dynasty coming to the rule and only then did peace finally returned, but it was a short-lived peace, the place where the original mighty Senior used to practice suddenly had a thick black miasma covering the whole region, those who entered it were never seen again, it caught the attention of the people again and after more than a hundred disappearances in that region, all people came to a silent agreement to label that area as a forbidden zone .
But that still hadn't put an end to the people still pursuing that secret, no in fact that search for that secret began to become more intense than ever before, after seeing the changes that happened in that area, all people came to the conclusion that the secret must exist .
After this, all kind of theories about how or what might that secret be, began to appear everyday, but no matter what they tried they weren't able to get the secret in these Martial Arts, the secret didn't care about the Martial Realm of the person trying to get it .
For some time all people were at loss of what they can do to even began unlocking the secret in those Martial Arts and just as not what had already happened shocking enough and alarming enough for them to take more cautious approach with those 3 Martial Arts, someone believed that it was a good idea to try and run those three Martial Arts at the same time .
That person declared that he would even do it in the open of all people's ears and eyes, then the fated date arrived and the people even prepared a stage for that guy to perform on, all of them were waiting to see whether will that secret be revealed finally or not, some in the audience were already planning to follow thought and do the same thing as that guy, if he turned to be alright, the number of people who shared that thought were a lot .
That person then started to execute the three Martial Arts starting with Tiger Force the Yellow Low-grade Martial Technique then he executed the Mid-grade Marital Skill then he executed the High-grade Secret Martial Skill, people were surprised at the scene of him beginning to use that secret technique, people began to scream at him to stop, but he seemed to have already made up his mind to either uncover the secret or die trying .
Another shocking scene happened, the guy who was supposed to be in agony, was actually beginning to laugh, people thought at first that he might have gone crazy, but they soon discarded that thought from their mind as they saw the guy's body suddenly began to glow, but his face appeared more and more paler, but he seemed to be engrossed in a bliss, he kept screaming about him finding the secret a lot of times .
Seeing him like this, the other people that had prepared to do the same thing as him, began to hesitate, then they made their mind, only after they began to feel the air around that guy change and that wasn't the only thing that changed, his body seemed to be changing by the second as well .
They were hesitating before, but all of them began to do the same as him, their bodies suddenly had red aura around them, then they began to glow exactly like the other guy, due to their superior Martial Arts Realm, most of those guys had the strength and qualifications to be called Masters, they were able to endure using that secret technique for more time .
People began to anticipate what might happen next, but never in they wildest dreams would have they expected the scene that happened after that, the glowing on the first guy's body began to flicker slightly, then his expression turned from being in bliss to to one that was filled with fear and agony .
That sudden shift made all the people present gape, the guy suddenly seemed to be fighting for his life just to say a few words and it turned out to be indeed so, his last words were two words, help me, was his last words before he blow up .
" Blow up in like he got very angry ?.
I couldn't help but ask this silly question, after all the second guess was terribly shocking, so it shouldn't be possible, or so I kept on telling myself, but then senior brother answer was to shook his head and continued to say :
No he actually blow up, his body suddenly exploded killing him and all the people that tried to imitate him just then, some of those who started running the technique a bit late were trying to stop circulating their energy, but that was to no avail, the process they started seemed to irreversible and it had only one end for them and that we end was for them to die .
All of the people gaped as this sudden turn of events then, but then a new shocking discovery was made, some of the bodies that died out of exhausting their energy and not from getting their bodies exploding were different than what they used to look like, their skins were brighter, their bodies were covered by a huge amount of black substance that had a very smelly stench .
People recognize it later to be nothing but the impurities inside those guys bodies, a huge amount of it, some people still believed that the shocking scene earlier was caused due to something Incredible happening in the process and that those people who died were unable to control that incredible something, some began to deem themselves as superiors to the ones who died, believing that they might have a better chance to succeed .
The reason was related to the huge amount of impurities those three Martial Arts removed, something that had always trouble the Martial Practitioners, here the rumors regarding what the secret was, grow more intense and severe, some people even believed that the secret written on those three Martial Arts might be related to achieving ascendence and probably immortality .
Whether that was actually true or one the false reclaim that stuck to those three Martial Arts name, that is not have been solved till this day, but this incident acted as a reminder to all the Martial Practitioners, of how dangerous the unknown was .
To this day there are people trying to acquire the gist of what that secret is, but either their tries will end up with them giving up, or they might continue to try, but that will result in their end as well .
The Qin Dynasty labeled the information about the three Martial Arts as forbidden information, those who know it are forbidden to share it with other, they even tried to use the high-level Families to try and execute all the copies of these 3 Martial Arts .
But that interfered with the ambition of those families, so even though the information was labeled as forbidden, its circulation was controlled by those families, the three Martial Arts to this day were being sold and circling among the people .
But no sane person was willing to risk losing his life using it in the same way to uncover the secret, they practiced one of the two books at maximum, the secret technique I told you about was censored from most of the Secret Martial Skill book .
But as I said before, someone would be able to get access to it, if he were to know where to look And have enough money .
The reason why Guardian Li didn't want you to hear about this was because he was actually very wary about these three books and even asked the master to remove them from the Dojo collection, but those skills was written by that mysterious powerful senior, so in the end a compromisation were reached, the skills might stay but they will need to discard of one book .
So the Low-grade Yellow Martial Technique was removed from the collection of techniques, the Secret Martial Skill soon became a High-grade Martial Skill after that secret technique in it was censored by both the families and the Master here in the Dojo .
Till this day, there will be some lunatics who still try to unlock that secret even at the cost of their lives and the lives of others, but no mention of any of those attempts succeeding has been reported to this day, Junior Brother .
I told you this because lately there seemed to be cases reported, where people were offered the chance to learn these 3 Martial Arts without knowing the consequences of doing so, so I decided to tell you the whole story about them to satisfy your curiosity about them and for that you can be cautious if some of these guys responsible for these weird incidents approaching you
They only target those who were of lower class and showed affinity towards Martial Arts or these have recently started practicing, so I hope you adhere to my warning and report to me if you happened to encounter them and again I would ask you to be on your full guard when you're dealing with them .
I finally get what was that whole story was about, I won't deny that I'm a little bit curious to find that secret as well, but after hearing what were the consequences of doing so recklessly, I completely discarded any thought about seeking it .
I was once again reminded of how scary was the unknown and since I had no knowledge of what was going on in this world, I felt more alarmed to everything and everyone in it, this world to me was the unknown and for that I came to conclude that everything in this world was dangerous to me.
So even without Senior Brother's warning, I was already determined to raise my guard up to the maximum and exercise the utmost caution with almost every move I make in this new Magical Martial Arts World .
I also felt quite the alarmed by him talking about plotting other to death for the sake of unlocking that secret .
I couldn't help but ask senior brother if these guys were resort to violence in forcing someone to learn these Martial Arts .
He actually nodded and told me that it was rumored that the group of people who were responsible for doing this and who named themselves the Evil Tigers were also the ones responsible for the disappearances that kept on occuring lately and if that was indeed true then we cannot rule out that they might use force if needed .
I was about to ask him something else that I was reminded of, but just as I was about to someone suddenly knocked on the opened door of the Training Hall and gained our attention, that person came to tell senior brother that the Dojo's Master was asking for him, he hurriedly apologized to me and hurriedly went out with that guy, leaving me alone in the empty Training Hall .
