Chapter 14: This is the Reality

Levi returned to his classroom, where he got a lot of stares, but most of it was from yesterday’s incident.

He saw that Josh was absent today.

That made sense. Although his attack wasn’t deadly, it did cause a lot of damage to Josh’s leg.

If the school hadn’t been promoting battles between students, he would’ve been in serious trouble for that.

"Levi, you feel different today."

Mike just took one look at him and immediately noticed a difference.

"You look like you suddenly made a mistake with your confession but ended up getting a girlfriend."

"It’s a joy that can’t be explained. Tell me what happened!"

Levi couldn’t help but feel speechless as he got a lot of stares, especially from girls in his classroom.

He looked at Mike and said.

"Can you not use such an example?"

"I can’t help it. Tell me what happened!"

Mike stubbornly asked.

"My problem is solved."

Levi’s lips curled up as he said.

"What? Seriously?"

Mike couldn’t help but widen his eyes in shock.

"Hehe!"

Levi chuckled, feeling the excitement running through his cells. Finally, he no longer had to feel inferior to others.

He could finally make progress. This news was more important than the system.

"Damn! So, I am just going to watch you take off in a plane while I drive a taxi?"

Mike couldn’t help but grumble.

Hearing that, Levi rolled his eyes. Although his mouth was hard, Levi knew Mike was happy.

The look on his face couldn’t fool anyone.

"So, what’s your current blood energy level? You must’ve used a Blood Energy Pill."

Mike asked.

"Six!"

Levi answered.

His voice was small, but everyone here was a Martial Apprentice. Their senses were already amazing.

So even if he was talking in a small tone, they still heard him.

"What? Did he just say six? Wasn’t he three yesterday?"

"Damn! What kind of Blood Energy Pill did he use?"

"It must be C-Grade, right?"

"That one cost a million federal dollars. Are his parents so rich?"

"I heard if Martial Artists spend a lot of time in Dimensional War, they can earn a lot of money."

"Tsk! This guy is so lucky to have such parents. If my parents were so rich, I would’ve become a Martial Artist by now."

"Who are you kidding? Your father is also a Martial Artist. Your blood energy level is only five."

"He was already stronger than Josh yesterday. How much stronger did he get now?"

Suddenly, a girl with a blond ponytail walked next to him and spoke.

"Hello! My name is Sonya."

"Hi, Sonya! I know you."

Levi nodded. In fact, he knew the names of most of the students. After all, he had a good memory, and he had been their classmate for a year.

It was normal to remember their names.

"Can you tell me what realm did you reach with your Mastery?"

Sonya asked and hurriedly continued.

"Of course! If you don’t like sharing, you don’t have to answer."

Hearing that, Levi shook his head and said.

"There is nothing to hide. I was able to reach Major Mastery with my technique yesterday, which was also the reason why my blood energy reached level six."

Sonya’s lips twitched.

"Aren’t you practicing Grade Two Technique? How did you reach Major Mastery so quickly?"

Levi calmly answered.

"Because my blood energy level wasn’t increasing before, I had given a lot of focus to my technique."

Mike asked.

"So, did you find why you were having such a problem?"

Levi knew this was a perfect moment to talk about his physique. After all, it was better to spread the information about his physique right now than later.

After all, it would block a lot of suspicious thoughts of others.

"Yeah! It turned out my blood energy was being used to nourish a special physique. Yesterday, I used a Blood Energy Pill to complete that nourishment."

Hearing that, both Mike and Sonya gave him a confused look.

This surprised Levi.

"Wait a minute! Isn’t it normal for a martial artist to awaken a special physique after reaching a certain level, like becoming a Martial Artist?"

"Even if you want to awaken earlier, it doesn’t consume blood energy, right?"

Sonya asked.

"Who cares? You were able to awaken a natural physique. Do you know how crazy that is?"

"Less than five percent of the Martial Artists awaken natural physiques. Damn! You are amazing."

Mike slapped him on the back, showing a look of envy.

"Huh? You said Natural Physique? So, there are artificial physiques as well?"

Levi curiously asked.

Mike shook his head.

"Physiques are divided into Natural and Innate. Natural Physique is the result of a mutation and talent."

"Innate Physique is the result of inheriting the blood energy level and special energy from the parents."

"That’s why less than five percent awaken Natural Physique."

Hearing his words, others’ gaze towards Levi changed.

From slight discomfort and shock to reverence.

What did it mean to be a part of five percent?

It represented potential, strength, and a future that they couldn’t even imagine.

As for lies! They didn’t even consider that.

Not to mention, lying wouldn’t give him any advantage; it would also be quickly revealed if he were to fight others.

"Everyone! I just heard something shocking."

A young boy slid into their classroom, shouting. He was also their classmate.

At the same time, Levi heard a notification-like sound in his mind. He ignored it, and the boy excitedly shouted.

"Levi from our class has practiced Five Beasts Form to perfection. Everyone is talking about it!"

"Oh, Levi! Hi!"

The boy saw him and waved. He even rushed next to Levi, asking a barrage of questions.

"How did you do that? I heard the vice principal said you have become the most talented person in our school. Are you going to challenge upperclassmen?"

Mike grabbed him by the neck and pulled him away.

"Don’t pester him like that!"

"Wow!"

One of the students jumped from his seat and pointed his finger towards Levi.

"So, your physique is related to enlightenment, right? Only that can explain you making a breakthrough in both technique and art."

Levi felt speechless with the attention he was getting, but he was also happy.

What kind of child wouldn’t be happy with this kind of attention?

At the same time, Ettle entered the classroom, with his back slightly soaked in sweat.

"I just heard some good news from the Vice Principal. Levi, did you reach Perfection in your Five Beasts Form?"

Levi nodded.

Ettle had a smile that he couldn’t contain.

"Amazing! You are the first student in our school to reach perfection within three years. No, you reached it within a year."

"That means you have set a record that would be pretty impossible to surpass."

Levi never thought the importance of reaching perfection would be so high.

Seeing the look on his face, Ettle speechlessly stared at him and said.

"Do you think reaching perfection is easy?"

He turned towards Sonya and asked.

"Sonya, tell me what level have you reached?"

"Minor Mastery!"

"See? Sonya is one of the most talented people in the class, but she has only reached Minor Mastery."

Hearing that, Sonya grumbled.

"Teacher, I am the second most talented person in the class. Can you not use me as an example?"

Ettle chuckled.

"I almost forgot. The best and second best are rather not important. Strength is what matters the most."

Suddenly, his expression became serious as he spoke.

"Today, I am going to share the reality of our world. As the children of a Martial Master, you will be born with blood energy level one."

"As for the Martial Artist’s children, it will be even worse. But some people are born from a Great Grandmaster."

"This is a rank that comes after Martial Grandmaster Rank, which is behind Grand Martial Master."

"The children of such a martial artist will have a blood energy level of ten."

At this moment, he looked straight into the eyes of many students and said.

"Some people’s starting point is nothing more than your goal."

His words were so alarming that most people lost their courage to become a martial artist upon hearing that.

It wasn’t Ettle’s intention. In fact, he wanted to drop even worse news for them.

"What I am about to say might be wrong from your perspective, but it is an ultimate truth. This is for you girls."

"If a man becomes a Grandmaster, he can choose any woman who is not in a relationship."

"In some situations, he can even force a woman to break up with their boyfriend."

He looked at the boys and said.

"This is the reality. The woman that you love can’t even love you back. Why? Because you can’t win. You can’t fight against people stronger than you."

"Welcome to the reality! If you don’t work hard today, you can’t even love someone tomorrow."

"Levi reached perfection, sure! But he also reached Major Mastery before anything. This is a level that requires both effort and talent."
