Chapter 86 He’s Not the Only One

Seeing this, Dong Fang was still confused. Why was the problem because Chu Nan was still only an Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist at the age of 18? Did that mean that it was almost impossible for him to break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate and become a Void Break Martial Artist in the future?

What was the connection?

Fortunately, this video was not finished.

“Everyone knows that the initial stage of a martial artist is the Overlord Body. The so-called Overlord Body is the process of continuously tempering the body through the Internal Breath, causing the strength of the body to continuously increase. At the same time, the increase in the strength of the body means that it can accommodate more and more powerful internal breath circulation. It can be said to complement each other.”

“The process of cultivating the Overlord Body is extremely important to a martial artist. If the body refinement of a martial artist is not perfect during this process, then when they become an Internal Breath Martial Artist, their Internal Breath will not be able to circulate throughout their entire body perfectly.”

“If they take another step forward and break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate, they will be unable to perfectly fuse their physical body with their Internal Breath. From there, they will encounter trouble when absorbing the cosmic energy of the outside world, causing them to be unable to break through this important barrier.”

“To any ordinary human, before the age of 18, it is the process of their body continuously growing. It is also the best time to refine their body and increase the strength of their flesh. Once they are past the age of 18, their meridians and bones will basically be fixed. If they use their Internal Breath to refine it, the effect will be extremely weak.”

“Chu Nan’s problem is that he’s already 18 years old and his body has basically matured. However, the degree of tempering of his body is still at a very low level and is far from reaching the extent of tempering and maturing.”

“If he has already become an Internal Breath Martial Artist or even a fifth-stage or fourth-stage Overlord Body Martial Artist, I believe Supremacy Mu Yutong will be tempted and directly take him in as a disciple.”

“However, he is not…” Dong Fang sighed and muttered in his heart.

Turning around to look at Chu Nan who was lying on the bed motionless, Dong Fang could not help but smile bitterly.

Who asked Chu Nan to not be able to come into contact with better internal cultivation methods when he was young? Therefore, he chose the Nine Revolutions Technique?

“With Chu Nan’s current body refinement, I’m certain that his future growth will be extremely slow.”

Rengal clearly felt that it was a pity for Chu Nan, so he continued to explain.

“Perhaps he can rely on his own hard work to advance step by step to an Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist, or even the top fifth-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist. However, this process will definitely be extremely slow and long. It could take ten, twenty years, or even a lifetime.” “Moreover, even if he can successfully become a fifth-stage Internal Breath Martial Artist, when he attempts to break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate, it will be almost impossible for him to break through because the foundation he laid before the age of 18 is not stable enough. Simply put, there is a flaw in his body refinement.”

“There’s also a very important problem—Chu Nan cultivates the Nine Revolutions Technique. I believe everyone knows that although very few people can cultivate the seventh level of the Nine Revolutions Technique, it is actually not like many people say. It is a true trash cultivation method. Chu Nan was unable to cultivate it to a sufficiently powerful level and complete the body refinement before he turned 18 years old, proving that he was actually not suitable for the Nine Revolutions Technique. It can even be said that… Chu Nan’s talent in the internal cultivation method is not good.”

Hearing this, Dong Fang was a little surprised.

It turned out that there was a difference between external martial arts techniques and internal martial arts techniques in terms of martial arts talent?

The external martial arts talent that Chu Nan had displayed in the previous few competitions was indeed extremely powerful. With his not particularly outstanding external martial arts technique, he could often suppress an Internal Breath Realm opponent who was one level higher than him.

However, to say that his talent in cultivating Internal Breath cultivation methods was not good… was that true?

“This is not strange. In the past few days, Chu Nan has fully displayed his outstanding talent in external martial arts techniques to us. It’s even enough to support him in defeating an Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist who is a level higher. However, this does not mean that his talent in internal cultivation methods is also very good.”

“Speaking of which, I believe everyone should understand why these two Star-Grade Martial Artists do not think highly of Chu Nan.”

“Previously, someone asked me that Supremacy Mu Yutong clearly hoped to find a young martial artist who performed well and take him in as his disciple, but Chu Nan performed so well and he was unwilling to take him in as his disciple. Why is that?”

“I’ll answer you now. As a Star-Grade Martial Artist, will Supremacy Mu Yutong take in a disciple who will almost never break through the Internal Breath Realm in the future?”

After throwing this question, the entire video ended. Dong Fang stared blankly at the familiar face of Rengal at the end of the video and could not react for a long time.

Rengal explained the problem very clearly so that everyone could understand.

To put it bluntly, it was because Chu Nan did not encounter a good teacher when he was young and did not learn a good enough Internal Breath cultivation method that he was unable to complete the refinement process of the Overlord Body before he was 18 years old and build a good foundation. In the future, he would encounter difficulty that was almost impossible to break through at the most crucial moment, causing his achievements to be limited.

However, such words were applicable to all martial artists who were still stuck at the Overlord Body Realm after they matured. It was not only limited to Chu Nan alone.

Rengal gave this explanation. Not to mention that Chu Nan would be deeply affected by this, many of the West Cloud Academy’s students would also be greatly affected. One had to know that in the entire West Cloud Academy, nearly half of the second grade students were already 18 years old. The third and fourth grade students were all more than 18 years old.

However, there were still many students who were stuck at the low-level Overlord Body realm like Chu Nan.

This meant that they would be like Chu Nan, and it would be almost impossible for them to break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate in the future. Their achievements would also be limited.

Dong Fang lowered his head and looked at himself.

He was also 18 years old this year and his body had completely matured, but he was only a mere third-stage Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist. In the future, it would probably be impossible for him to become a powerful martial artist.

Of course, he did not care.

He was not too interested in martial artists to begin with. Even if he could not become a powerful martial artist, it did not matter.

On the other hand, Chu Nan…

Dong Fang turned to look at Chu Nan on the bed and smiled bitterly.

Chu Nan had always hoped to become a powerful martial artist, but from the looks of it, the hope was not high. His dream could be said to have been shattered.

To be fair, Chu Nan could be said to have asked for it.

Although he had not had the chance to come into contact with an extremely powerful Internal Breath cultivation method when he was young and did not have any teachers to guide him, if he had not chosen the Nine Revolutions Technique, an Internal Breath cultivation method that had screwed countless people over, and had only chosen an ordinary Internal Breath cultivation method, he might have completed the process of the Overlord Body and become an Internal Breath Martial Artist.

Dong Fang would not believe it if Rengal said that Chu Nan’s talent in cultivation was poor.

“Damn, this is in line with the old saying. One has to pay for the consequences of their own actions.”

Looking at Chu Nan who was lying flat on the bed, Dong Fang suddenly felt a trace of anger. He gritted his teeth and kicked, but it only lightly kicked Chu Nan’s buttocks.

“This idiot.”
