Chapter 363: Chapter 363: Arrogant Ignorance?_1

“You really… are so arrogantly ignorant!”

Xiao Bai gritted her teeth at this remark, forcibly suppressing her anger, she advised, “Xu Fan, I understand your feelings. Being able to step into the Martial Arts Grandmaster realm at such a young age and achieve such extraordinary accomplishments makes you very proud, and you might even look down on those of the same level. But you must recognize the reality, even if you are both Grandmasters, there is a huge gap in strength between some.”

“Minister Qian’s strength ranks high within the Flame Dragon Organization. He even took on three of the same level alone, eventually killing one and injuring two. If Minister Qian makes a move against you, you wouldn’t stand much of a chance. You should just come quietly with me, he might not even trouble you, perhaps he will take a great interest in you and want to pull you into the organization.”

However, Xu Fan was not only unmoved but also looked disappointed as he said softly, “Sorry, stuck in the Grandmaster Realm for ten years… that’s a bit pathetic.”

A bit pathetic?!

What does that mean? An outright display of contempt?

Xiao Bai was completely dumbfounded, someone actually dared to say the Minister’s cultivation was slow, how arrogant could this person be!

Thinking of how Minister Qian Zongsheng stepped into the Grandmaster Realm at the prime age of thirty-one was definitely a talent of a generation.

And to achieve a legendary realm above Grandmaster, it is extremely difficult, even one might say it’s a rarity among hundreds, with perhaps one in a hundred Grandmasters advancing.

Throughout ancient and modern times, this huge divide was like a chasm, blocking countless talented Ancient Martial Artists. Even if one spent twenty or thirty years in the Grandmaster Realm, that would be normal. After all, the vast majority of Grandmasters spend their entire lives stuck at this stage.

Xu Fan’s words were too dismissive, irritating to anyone who heard them, clearly leaving an impression of “youthful arrogance and ignorance.”

Xiao Bai suddenly didn’t want to say the rest of what she had in mind, shook her head, and turned to leave.

Seeing Xiao Bai return alone, Qian Zongsheng’s expression was a bit odd as he frowned and said, “Just you?”

Xiao Bai kept silent for a moment, then said, “Boss, this guy refuses to come out. He’s playing with his daughter and doesn’t have time.”

“Arrogant! Even if Xu Tianlong were still alive, as the eldest young master of the Xu Family, he wouldn’t dare do this.”

Enraged, Gao Ziling snapped, “Fine, if he won’t see me, I’ll just have to go in there myself and see if he has the capital to be so arrogant.”

With that, Gao Ziling didn’t even bother to signal before he marched straight towards the amusement park’s main entrance.

Qian Zongsheng didn’t say much else and led his people to follow.

Despite Protector Gao Ziling’s explosive temper, it was Xu Fan who had brought this upon himself.

However, if the two really did have a direct confrontation within the amusement park, there was a risk that innocent people could get hurt.

By this time, the carousel had stopped, and a slightly tired Tongtong buried her head in Xu Fan’s chest, her spirits still high, “Daddy, the carousel is so much fun. Tongtong wants to come again next time.”

Xu Fan patted Tongtong’s back and promised, “Okay, we’ll come again next time.”

“Thank you, Daddy,” Tongtong giggled, “Daddy, let’s go play with the ocean balls, shall we?”

Xu Fan smiled and said, “How about we play that later, okay? Some uninvited guests have arrived, and Daddy needs to deal with them first.”

“Huh?” Tongtong looked around in confusion and asked with a tilted head, “Tongtong doesn’t see them, where are they?”

Xu Fan chuckled and looked into the distance, saying, “They’re coming.”

Gao Ziling cut through the crowd and strode toward them, his face colored with aloof arrogance and a hint of displeasure, clearly because of Xu Fan’s lack of respect.

Beyond that, his gaze bore an undisguised scorn for Xu Fan.

After all, a young man who has just entered the Grandmaster Realm, the power disparity between him and Xu Tianlong was huge, yet he still had to go see Xu Fan himself.

How annoying that must have been!

“You must be Xu Fan?”

Gao Ziling approached, squinting as he sized up the other.

Xu Fan maintained a neutral expression, his gaze indifferent, and he also gave the other party a look.

Even though Gao Ziling’s aura was strong and tumultuous, indicating that he was a powerhouse of the same Realm as Xu Fan.

But Xu Fan was thinking, how many moves could a Martial Arts Grandmaster of Sea Blue Star, who was on the same level as him as a Cultivator in the Grandmaster Realm, withstand in a fight against him?

Xu Fan was a very traditional and orthodox Cultivator, pursuing the immortal path of longevity. And the Cultivation System had flourished in the Cultivation World for tens of thousands of years, becoming exceedingly well-established.

Whether it was a variety of cultivation techniques and secrets or the understanding and manipulation of “qi,” they far surpassed the ancient martial arts system of Sea Blue Star.

Therefore, even though Xu Fan had not yet faced an ancient Martial Arts Grandmaster head-on, he was filled with confidence. He even had a strategy for victory against ancient martial artists who surpassed the Grandmaster Realm, let alone those of the same rank as him. He was very confident he could capture them effortlessly.

Tongtong felt intimidated by Gao Ziling’s imposing manner, a bit frightened, and kept burrowing into Xu Fan’s arms.

Xu Fan’s eyes turned cold in an instant, and he also released a hint of his aura, neutralizing the opponent’s pressure. With an expressionless face and an indifferent gaze, he said, “Yes, I am. Are you from the Flame Dragon Organization?”

Seeing Xu Fan’s dismissive attitude, Gao Ziling felt his anger flare up tenfold. He had seen arrogant young men before, but never one so arrogant.

“Humph, not only am I from the Flame Dragon Organization, but I am also a protector of the headquarters,” Gao Ziling said haughtily. The implication of his words, of course, was to evoke a sense of importance in Xu Fan, or even to let him realize the severity of the current situation.

However, Xu Fan merely responded with an emotionless “Oh.”

This indifferent attitude from Xu Fan completely infuriated Gao Ziling.

Staring at the young man before him, he bluntly said, “Xu Fan, do you think that stepping into the Grandmaster Realm makes you invincible? Or do you intend to offend the Flame Dragon Organization? I thought you would feel honored to have been approached by the Flame Dragon.”

Xu Fan chuckled nonchalantly, “That’s a bit exaggerated. But, your words have kindled some interest in me. A protector of the headquarters? Impressive, aren’t you?”

At this moment, Qian Zongsheng arrived with Xiao Bai and three others, just in time to hear this exchange and couldn’t help but freeze.

Xu Fan’s words were indeed arrogant, yet they revealed an information: He seemed to know very little about the Dragon Group, not even aware of what being a protector of the headquarters represents.

However, Gao Ziling felt a deep sense of humiliation at being so utterly disrespected, but still managed to suppress his fury and explained arrogantly, “It seems you know nothing about the Flame Dragon; truly ignorant. Let me provide a brief introduction. In each major city across the country, the Flame Dragon has established branches, which have leaders and members, and their superiors are the provincial branch chiefs. The hierarchy of the headquarters, from top to bottom, is Elder, Chief Steward, protector, and Executor.

“To become an Executor, one must be at least in the Qi Drawing Realm, and to be promoted to a chief or a protector, one must at least be in the Grandmaster Realm. The rank of protectors is also differentiated, corresponding to Grandmaster completion, late-stage, middle-stage, and early-stage, respectively, which are four ranks of the Primordial Tier.”

“And I, Gao Ziling, am a Primordial Tier protector.”

Xu Fan couldn’t help feeling a bit speechless.

Originally, the Grandmaster Realm already corresponded with the mid-stage of the Qi Practicing Realm for Cultivators, but to think the Grandmaster Realm had been subdivided even further.

Such detailed distinctions only highlighted how outdated the ancient martial arts system was.
