The first strike felt pretty satisfying.

Relying on the combination of stance and Basic Boxing Technique, he unleashed double Qi and Blood Power, which is extremely rare even among Official Martial Artists.

Of course, this was Li Weifeng's result of exploiting his capabilities.

With formidable Spiritual Power and a higher level of perception, dealing with these basic Martial Techniques was just a small matter.

However... Official Martial Artists seem quite strong.

Li Weifeng raised his hand; the hand that had thrown the punch was now trembling slightly, tinged with a faint redness.

At the moment of delivering the punch, it felt like he hit an iron plate, and as his Qi and Blood Power burst forth, the rebounding force injured his fist considerably.

Fortunately, these injuries only required a circulation of Qi and Blood to basically recover.

Just this one punch allowed Li Weifeng to truly appreciate the might of an Official Martial Artist.

"The cultivation method of this world is through the refinement of the body with internal Qi and Blood, undergoing numerous refinements, each time achieving a transformation. Thus, High Grade Martial Artists almost completely crush Low Grade Martial Artists."

This duel gave Li Weifeng a profound insight.

It's like the relationship between pig iron, wrought iron, and even further, alloys.

Of course, it's not to say that a higher-grade martial artist will always win against a lower-grade one, or that there's no possibility of challenging above one's rank.

In fact, a First Grade Martial Science University student at the peak, lacking combat experience, may not necessarily be more formidable than a combat-experienced low-ranked soldier.

Additionally, under certain circumstances, it's not impossible to challenge beyond one's rank.

Just as Li Weifeng did.

By relying on strong Spiritual Power for prediction, combined with proficient stance skills, integrating basic Martial Techniques like Basic Boxing Technique and Basic Leg Techniques, evading the opponent's attacks while constantly finding opportunities to counterattack, he might defeat the opponent.

According to Li Weifeng's estimation, in direct combat, he should have a forty percent chance of defeating that youth.

Because with a profound understanding of stance and the coordination of leg techniques, along with robust Spiritual Power prediction, he could essentially evade the opponent's attacks, and his stance combined with Basic Boxing Technique's Qi and Blood Power eruption could also inflict damage on that youth.

With such an increase and decrease, defeating the opponent wasn't an arduous task.

"This is the martial artists' hierarchy."

Through this battle, Li Weifeng already had some understanding of the basic situation of martial artists in this world.

At this time,

The surroundings had been secured with a cordon, with two female Magic and Martial Arts University students comforting the frightened noodle shop employees while some government personnel were escorting the battered Bloodthirsty Youth away.

Not far away, some curious onlookers gathered, craning their necks and discussing the incident.

This forced the police to allocate personnel to prevent bystanders from entering.

Seeing there was nothing more for him, Li Weifeng was about to leave.

But suddenly, a voice came from behind.

"Hey, friend, thanks. If it wasn't for your help this time, who knows how much trouble we would've had."

Among the group of Magic and Martial University students, a young man wearing a white shirt, with a clean and neat appearance, who seemed to be a leader like a class monitor, walked over, patted Li Weifeng's shoulder, and expressed his gratitude.

"I'm Chen Yong. We are students from Magic and Martial Arts University. That guy is a cult fugitive, with more than one life on his hands. This time, during our team practice outing, we received a request for assistance from the government, so we took it on."

"This time, it was due to our lack of experience; not only did we almost let him escape, but we also nearly caused casualties. Thank you so much."

It was evident that Chen Yong was likely the leader of this group.

He had a nice demeanor, and his speaking manner was quite agreeable.

"No need to thank me, it was just a reflexive action. Compared to you all, it's nothing."

"Hey, don't say that..."

They exchanged some formalities, and suddenly, Li Weifeng was struck with a thought.

"Do Magic and Martial University students often take on these tasks? Shouldn't such matters be handled by government departments?"

Li Weifeng was somewhat intrigued by Chen Yong's explanation of their acceptance of government assigned missions.

Why did government departments need the help of these not-yet-graduated university students?

Could it be that the accidental deaths during university student training tasks were largely due to such missions?

It's very possible.

Li Weifeng felt like he had touched upon some aspects of the martial artists' world.

"Well, let's put it this way, the country is so large, and it's impossible for the military and other government departments to handle everything, so some relatively simple tasks are handled by civilian martial artists. Actually, this time, we mainly went out for practice according to school regulations and just happened to take this task. In fact, some missions involve helping to eliminate exotic beasts in deep mountains and forests, but because it's too far, everyone is reluctant to leave the magic capital..."

Li Weifeng nodded secretly, his eyes flickering.

Assisting the government in capturing fugitives, helping to clear out exotic beasts in forests... such tasks are posted externally, so where are the main forces of the government and military?

Where are they?

Perhaps, somewhere, they are facing even more formidable enemies?

It's natural that Li Weifeng couldn't know the hidden truth, so he could only speculate.

The two chatted for a while, having an enjoyable conversation, and Li Weifeng also learned some general information about the martial artists' circle from Chen Yong.

This seemingly peaceful world vaguely hides unknown great dangers.

The special privileges and treatment of martial artists might be precisely because of this.

Just as Li Weifeng was about to end the conversation and prepare to leave, he suddenly remembered the problem he faced after reaching the limit quasi-Martial Artist stage. Is there a path forward after becoming a limit quasi-Martial Artist, or is official Martial Artist the only option?

Chen Yong, being a student of Magic and Martial University, had wide exposure to Martial Arts, perhaps he knew something.

"By the way, Brother Chen Yong, I wanted to ask, after reaching the quasi-limit Martial Artist stage, is advancing to Official Martial Artist the only choice, or can you continue to deepen your foundation?"

"Hmm, haven't you become an Official Martial Artist yet?"

Chen Yong's eyes widened, and he looked incredulous.

As a low-grade Second Grade Martial Artist, although he could somewhat sense the fluctuation of Qi and Blood in Li Weifeng, it was only a vague perception.

When Li Weifeng threw that punch earlier, Chen Yong didn't pay attention, but it seemed to be at a First Grade mid-to-high rank.

But now, could it be that he hasn't become an Official Martial Artist yet?

How is that possible!

"Uh, well, it actually has to do with my family's Secret Techniques..."

Li Weifeng stammered a bit, finding a vague excuse to brush it off.
