After returning to the world of Di he visited to chief and ask if he knew any martial arts.

  "Joshua this is just a simple village." Said chief Lan Chi.

  Seeing there was no martial artist here he ask where he could learn martial artist from then.

  "Clans, Martial Hall, and the Army if you are lucky you might find a hermit master to train you. But I suggest those three first for hermit master tend to have wanting something from you or just a fake poser."

  Joshua pick the martial hall even though they cost money to learn only the basics, at least they would not inhibit his freedom or send him to fight war and battle.

  "Chief I am going to the city pls tell Bek Su about that and tell me if the land and house is done."

  "Hmm the house would be done at 10 days but why are going now? Travelling solo is quite dangerous." Chief warned him.

  "Now I the location it is ok if I travel fast." After that he went out the village and travel for a while then teleported out a electric bike.

  As long he travel fast in the dirt road he would avoid wild beast but bandits did not show up during the last visit so he believe that they won't show up now when the village is not travelling.

  If he did encounter one he bought a small caliber pistol and taser just in case.

  And just like that he got into the Sunset Breeze Pass City in just 2 hours much faster than travelling in group.

  He went to the inn near the city gate.

  "Sir one room for 10 days."

  "That would be 50 silver sir."

  After finding a place to sleep he ask the inn keeper about martial art hall in the Sunset Breeze Pass City.

  "Sir there are three martial art hall two is run by family the Li blade master hall run by the Li Clan, and Waking Sunset Breeze hall run by the Weng Family and the last one is run by a martial Master Hu Bin Tri Body Hall." Said the inn keeper to joshua.

  Joshua offered silver coins to him.

  "It seems some martial hall is run by clans, I quess I can only go to Tri Body Hall." Joshua thought that all martial halls are run by individuals it seems the clans saw an oppurtunity to get money and talents.

  Joshua hope that Master Hu Bin is not back by anyone, he didn't want to be troubled he just want to learn martial arts.

  ---

  Standing on the entrance of the Tri Body Hall he saw that it was quite ancient or more likely old version if gym.

  Straw dummy, heavy rocks, sand bag, open field and sweaty men and women.

  Ahh quite nuseating.

  "Sir can I help you." Ask by the guard.

  "Ahh can I join the Tri Body Hall to learn the martial arts?"

  "Sir that is simple, if you want to join the hall and become a member you, only had to follow the instruction."

  First fill the paper with your personal info.

  Second pay the the tuition fee.

  Third never break the rule.

  As the quard handed him a paper and pointed at the wall full of rules like no fight outside the hall, no killing and etc...

  Well basic stuff as joshua quickly memorize it and handed the amount of money.

  "Sir where can I start?" Ask while looking around.

  "Wait for a while after we decide which instructor you will learn from."

  As joshua waited, he look at the people who trains at hall.

  Some sitting while mediating, others exercise while doing rhythmetic breathing and some people do what you would see in gyms.

  As he thought how did they become super human, he saw the guard brought back a tall old uncle.

  With rip muscles showing on his clothes and scar running to neck to lip making others nervous just by his appearance alone.

  "Kid is your name Yuē Shū Yà, is that correct?" Said the uncle.

  "Sir it is pronounce joshua." Joshua making a troubled face as the letters is different so the naming sounded different in the language of Terra to Di.

  "Ah alright, from today onwards I'll be your instructor Bi Lan teaching you martial arts. So start running boy, give me 10 laps in field." Said Bi Lan as he smile at Joshua.

  This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

  "Yes instructor" as joshua jog to the field.

  The instructor Bi Lan watch, he saw that Joshua had a good body structure and well portion muscle across the body.

  Seeing that Joshua is not sweating like a pig that much even its sunny outside means he exercise regularly.

  "Sir I am done and what should I do next?" Said Joshua.

  "Offer your hand"

  Bi Lan thought of testing the bone age while looking if Joshua ever practise martial arts.

  But to his shock Joshua never practice martial arts but his body was in perfect form, you could say he had a physique meant to study martial arts and just at the right age 18...

  "Kid wait for a while, MASTER! MASTER!" As Bi Lan run fast to the top of the center building while shouting.

  "Huh, why was Sir Lan running?"

  "Are we under martial challenge?"

  "No, I just saw Sir Lan was teaching someone then he just run"

  "Woah do you think he discover something shocking?"

  As the people got attracted to Bi Lan frantic running and shouting, Joshua got speechless how the instructor attracted people.

  "Can't you just calmly walk and told someone, why attract attention like I would disappear?" Joshua whispered as he gritted his teeth.

  Bi Lan returned and without saying anything carried Joshua heading to the same direction he run into.

  Heading he saw small decorated room and what he assume to be the Master of Tri Body Hall Hu Bin.

  A old man pass 50, whiteing hair, sharp eye and chin but quite large buff body for an aging man.

  He expected some old long beared master but seeing him he look like he can rizz women every where.

  "Lan I told you be calm, your attracting attention with your actions." Said Hu Bin as he sigh.

  "Sorry master, but you have to look at this boy he has a physique of one in a million martial body." Bi Lan explain as he put Joshua closer to Hu Bin who proceeds to check his every part of his body.

  "Hmm he does have heavenly physique for maryial arts." Hu Bin rubbed his chin.

  Joshua waited for a while as he suspect that the master would ask he is interested to be a disciple.

  "Kid do you want to be my disciple." Ask Hu Bin.

  Well that was expected and of course he agree.

  "This disciple wish to learn from Master Hu Bin!" Joshua bowed his head to Hu Bin.

  "Since you official become my disciple I will be the one teaching you martial arts and I will introduce to you your 5 brothers and sisters later." As he handed a Hall token and a book to Joshua.

  Looking at the book [Tri Body Training Manual], it seems one of the core skill should be learned from master Hu Bin.

  "Read the book and then train, if you don't understand something ask me or your fellow brothers and sister for further clarification." After giving those Hu Bin dismiss Joshua.

  What a hands off approach.

  Seeing that he is free he might as well learn the [Tri Body Training Manual]. I just hope this is not full of stupid idoms or what not like punch like an eagle jump like a tiger pierce through like a dragon... too much nonsence.

  Opening the book reading the first page talks about the level of martial artists.

  Mortal realm= Flesh> Blood > Blood Qi

  Mortal signifies the untrained, those are who had not trained martial arts.

  Then Flesh signifies the start laying the foundation for the martial art, here you train muscles, some train specific part heavily depending on which martial art they train.

  For Blood, all the martial artist had a way to train blood, some with pills, some poison and some wild beast blood. There they train the blood, strengthening it while it strengthen the body making it durable, giving inhuman strength and strong natural healing.

  Blood is futher strengthen and trasform into Blood Qi where you can can now barely extend outside of the body like coiling around a sword to make it sharper and stronger, but nobody would do it, for they are wasting they're trained Blood Qi that are not replenishable naturally but only by training. For those at peak Blood qi tend to have at least 100-150 lifespan.

  It seems he can't get stronger just by exercising, there was something else needed to become a martial artist. This world is more like half martial arts, half bio tech than full fledge one but thinking about it, this is more logical than those fantacy novels I read.

  Further reading the book, he can see he next realm.

  Master realm = Inner Qi> Refine Qi> Core

  The Master realm is divide to three parts, the Blood Qi, after filling your body to full can be transform into Inner Qi by sets of movement and breathing depending on which martial art. This will expell all foreing anomily including illness and poisons further strengthening the body and extending the life of the person for 300 years lifespan.

  The Inner Qi release your shackle of not being able to manifest it outside for fear of lossing Blood Qi but here it can replenish after some time naturally. Then throughly refining Inner Qi can be transform to Refine Qi which can manifest Qi outside of the body strongly than Blood Qi and Inner Qi.

  Here a slash of a Refine Qi can travel to a long distance depending on how much Qi put in and how strong your Qi is, some techniques can create armors and weapons by Qi alone.

  Refine Qi gives you 500 year lifespan to fill your body with it, Then after filling the body in Refine Qi you start compressing it and turning it into a Core, here you had no other ways to secure your safety as you are left of your own. But if sucessfully completing it gives further improvement for the body and soul, giving you a life span of 1000 years.

  Joshua thought that Master Realm is full of life transitions starting from Inner Qi to core. Making him excited at becoming a super human, especially the life extension. Contuination of what the next realm is Grandmaster realm which made his brow crease.

  Grandmaster realm = Enlighten Spirit

  There is only one and there is no explaination at all, just this?

  It seems this is the limit of martial artist or maybe there is another realm but just didn't got recorded for how backward the Di world is.

  Next topic was martial skills.

  Wielding weapon > Qi wrapping> Intent

  Three simple steps but hard to do.

  Weilding weapon phase is where you understand how to use that specific weapon, easy to undertand. Each hall have different prefered skills to use and each have strong persuit.

  Qi wrapping phase is the usage of Qi types like Elemental Qi, Poison Qi and etc... depending on which martial art you practice you can utilize them for wrapping your weapons and armors. Some profession like blacksmiths, alchemist and healers use Qi wrapping to create items with amazing effects.

  Then the Intent phase, is quite the predicament I say for this is hard to properly explain. This phase is where you entagle specific thought to an object like pierce, sharp, cut and etc. Only few people are able to perform this feat as this phase is so vague for the majority.

  For some reason this started in scientific way then it become metaphysics or hobo jumbo nonsence.

  Joshua shaking his head decided to ignore the things he can't understand but memorize those he can understand and start practicing martial art to generate blood qi where the fun begins.

  But as soon he was finish memorizing and was about to start practizing Master Hu Bin came in with 5 people.

  "Kid let me introduce your brothers and sisters of our martial lineage." Said Hu Bin as he smile widely.
