It was unknown whether it was because Wan Dao was gifted or for some other reason, but although he had only practiced martial arts for a few days, he had already learned the basics of the Wave Subtle Steps and the Cloud Expelling Palm.
He estimated that if everything went smoothly, he would be able to master the Cloud Striking Palm in at most a month.
At that time, although his martial arts would not be considered advanced, at the very least, his combat effectiveness would increase by a lot.
She might even be stronger than Guo Furong.
"It's a pity that the system isn't a system that can help me practice martial arts, so it can't explain much to me.”
"I forgot about Bai Zhantang. He's an old hand in the martial arts world.”
After thinking about it, Wan Youdao came to the door and shouted at Tongfu Inn,"Old Bai, are you free tonight?"
In the past few days, Bai Zhantang was often sent by Tong Xiangyu to deliver food. The two of them were already very familiar with each other.
Hearing Wan Youdao's voice, Bai Zhantang replied,"I'm not busy after mealtime.”
"Come over for a drink when the time comes."
"Alright."
……
At night.
After Bai Zhantang was done with the inn, he came to Wan Youdao's place as promised.
Wan Youdao had already prepared the wine and dishes. The wine that was warming on the small stove was the good wine that Bai Zhantang had bought. A small pot cost one tael of silver.
Seeing this, Bai Zhantang's eyes lit up.
"Oh my god, brother, why are you treating me with such good wine?”
"Old Bai, don't stand on ceremony.”
"Alright."
Bai Zhantang poured himself a glass of wine and downed it in one gulp.
Bai Zhantang smacked his lips as he savored the aftertaste of the wine.
"As expected of good wine. The taste is really different.”
"With your ability, wouldn't it be easy for you to drink this kind of wine?”Wan Youdao laughed.
"That's true, but a gentleman loves money and takes it in the right way. Hehe, you know.”
"I understand."
He lifted the bowls on top of the dishes one by one and said,"Come, don't just drink. Eat some vegetables.”
Bai Zhantang picked up a piece of sour and spicy shredded potato with his chopsticks and tasted it. He instantly understood why Wan Youdao was unwilling to accept Tong Xiangyu's suggestion.
"Good heavens, your cooking skills are even better than Big Mouth's.”
Wan Youdao smiled but didn't say anything.
After that, the two of them ate, drank, and chatted. Although they couldn't be considered bosom friends, they had a good chat.
After a short while, Bai Zhantang smiled and said,""Tell me, brother. Why are you looking for me?”
"It's nothing much. I just wanted to ask you about the basic situation of martial arts.”
"How could an expert like you not know this?”
"Then you can treat it as me testing you."”
"Alright, what do you want to know?" Bai Zhantang nodded.”
"I want to know the levels of martial arts manuals and the differences between martial arts realms.”
" Then you've asked the right person," Bai Zhantang said confidently." I know quite a bit about these things. I'm much more knowledgeable than the average person in Jianghu."
Let me talk about the martial arts manuals first.
There were a total of six levels in this martial arts manual from bottom to top. They were unrated, third-rate, second-rate, first-rate, top-grade, and peerless.
There were a total of eight levels in martial arts, from bottom to top. They were unranked, third-rate, second-rate, first-rate, Houtian, Xiantian, grandmaster, and great grandmaster.
Take note, the realm of martial arts practice is not the same as combat strength.
If a martial artist practiced martial arts for a long time and accumulated enough internal strength, his realm would definitely not be low.
However, internal strength was just internal strength. It was the source of a kind of power.
Take Big Mouth for example. He's much stronger than me, but he definitely can't beat me.
From this, it could be seen that how to use this power was crucial.
This was how powerful the martial arts secret manual was.
A good martial art could allow one to use their limited internal energy to greater effect.
Correspondingly, the better the martial arts, the more internal energy one could accumulate.”
" Then can I understand it as the martial arts manual is A, and the martial artist's realm is B?" Wan Youdao asked." The better A, the more B. A plus B is combat power?"”
Bai Zhantang slapped his thigh.
"Your understanding is really thorough."
"In other words, if one doesn't have enough time to cultivate and their realm is very low, even if they use very powerful martial arts, their combat strength won't be high?" asked Wan Youdao.
On the contrary, if one cultivated for a long time and had a high enough realm, even if they used very simple martial arts, their combat strength would not be low.
If two people had cultivated for about the same amount of time, who would use a higher level martial art and whose combat strength would be stronger?”
"Not bad."
" But then again," Bai Zhantang explained," if a person's martial arts cultivation is relatively poor, then no matter how long he cultivates, his realm won't be that high. Naturally, his combat strength won't be particularly high.”
"Then, when you practice these martial arts, are there any levels of progress?" Wan Youdao asked again.”
"There is such a thing. It is roughly divided into Beginner, Small Success, Large Success, and Perfection. The more you understand a martial art, the higher your realm, and the stronger your combat strength.”
"Understood."
Bai Zhantang cupped his fists." In that case, it's getting late. I'll go back first. If you have any more questions, look for me next time. I'll tell you everything I know."”
"Alright, thank you."
"You're welcome."

The flowers had already exceeded 1,000 yuan. If it was just a little bit more, it would have exceeded 2,000 yuan, so the author decisively added more.
