The Dragon Warrior Pair
DWP 42: Level of Swordsman

Two days had passed since Jing Yang and Ye Xiaoya left Xuedong City. On the way to the Peach Flower Palace, the two of them were not short of food. All of that was thanks to Ye Xiaoya's Storage Ring which stored a large amount of meat.

During the journey Jing Yang trained the level of body lightening science under the direction of Ye Xiaoya. The speed of his footsteps was now able to catch up to Ye Xiaoya even with great effort.

On the way Ye Xiaoya explained about the swordsman level to Jing Yang. Swordsmanship levels are used in the martial world to measure their abilities. Before becoming a swordsman, everyone must become a disciple. Usually a sect that accepts disciples with special rules, but many also study at warriors without being bound by a sect.

Within a sect usually accepted inner disciples and outer disciples. The choice to become an inner disciple was very strict, but all of that depended on the rules of their respective sects.

In the martial world divided into several levels of warriors, among others, first-rate swordsmen, second-level warriors, third-level warriors, high-level warriors, expert warriors, king warriors, emperor warriors, white or black warriors, etc, holy warrior and great warrior.

The ten levels of swordsmen still had five more levels. From the lowest to the highest. Level one is the earliest level, the lowest level. The requirement to become a first-rate swordsman must learn the knowledge taught within the sect and be able to master it well.

More or less second-rate warriors and third-level warriors had the same conditions as tier one warriors. It was just that a level two swordsman should be able to fight against five level one warriors, as well as a level three swordsman should be able to face a level two swordsman alone.

“I did not take the sect examination, but have reached the holy swordsman.” Jing Yang smiled faintly, as he accelerated his footsteps following Ye Xiaoya's speed rhythm.

“You have indeed reached the holy swordsman, because your basic formation stage is very good. That bone, muscle, blood, marrow and body, it's very well formed, that basic formation that I think is so perfect. That's why you've reached the holy warrior, in terms of ability and experience, maybe you're still in the early stages. My job as your teacher is to give you direct experience against other holy warriors.” Ye Xiaoya explained the reason why Jing Yang had reached the holy swordsman, even though the young man was twelve years old, then he resumed his explanation, “Next high-level swordsman.”.

A person who had reached a high-level swordsman was already able to form an inner power circle and carry out the difficult missions of the sect. Usually a high-level swordsman has a power in the range of 60 to 100 circles.

Swordsmen who have plunged directly into the martial world to seek experience and establish cooperation with nobles are expert warriors. A person who has reached an expert swordsman usually has his own expertise in fighting. Usually a swordsman who has reached an expert swordsman has an inner power circle that ranges from 100 to 400 circles.

For someone who had reached the king level swordsman and emperor level swordsman usually already had deep experience of martial arts. Usually a swordsman who reaches the king's warrior has an inner circle of energy ranging from 400 to 800 circles. As for a swordsman who has reached the emperor swordsman has an inner power circle ranging from 800 to 1200 circles.

The eighth level of the warrior is a white or black warrior. The white swordsman level is used for warriors from the white and neutral sects, while the black swordsman is the swordsman level used for warriors from the black school. Swordsmen who have reached white or black warriors have inner power circles ranging from 1200 to 1500 circles.

“Teacher, is my inner circle more than 1500 circles?” Jing Yang asked after listening to Ye Xiaoya's explanation.

“When I check your pulse. I think you have 2200 energy circles in.” Ye Xiaoya replied while slowing down the tempo of his speed because he wanted to see the beautiful scenery presented by nature from the top of the hill he was treading.

“The ninth level is the holy swordsman. This is your level, holy warrior.” Ye Xiaoya said to Jing Yang as she went down the hill using the science of lightening the body.

At the level of the holy warrior usually a warrior has a famous name in the martial world. But at this stage, a swordsman still has the obstacle to keep growing until he reaches the great warrior.

At the last level, the great warrior is the closest level to the five highest levels in the martial world. A great warrior should have a power circle in about 5000 circles. As for the holy warriors range from 1500 to 2000 circles.

The last five levels that are the highest in the martial world are earth warriors, celestial warriors, spirit warriors, heavenly warriors and god warriors. In the Central Plains Continent, people who reached the earth warrior did not exceed a hundred people.

“Earth week..” Jing Yang clenched his teeth from having heard Xue Qiuyu talk talking to Mao Gang. Mao Gang himself had reached the earth swordsman, Xue Qiuyu who had reached the holy swordsman did not even twitch in the slightest before him.

“Why, Which is it?” Ye Xiaoya glanced at the paled face of his disciple, “Your face looks pale.”.

“It's okay, Master..” Jing Yang quickened his footsteps and preceded Ye Xiaoya.

“What are you hiding from me?” Ye Xiaoya asked again, while staring with a probing gaze.

“Teacher I told you about a guy named Mao Gang isn't it?” Jing Yang looked at Ye Xiaoya who nodded her head, “Seven years ago she was still an earth warrior. I can't imagine it if his abilities continue to expand.”.

Ye Xiaoya raised his eyebrows and signaled Jing Yang to stop, “We still have plenty of time to get stronger again. For as soon as possible, prioritize our plans..”.

Jing Yang stopped moving because he felt a huge murderous aura. His eyes continued to search for the direction of the aura.

There was a sound some distance away from the hill where Jing Yang and Ye Xiaoya stopped walking. Both of them immediately tried to find the existence before moving at high speed towards the source of the sound. Ye Xiaoya flew up and jumped into the air, his eyes staring at the five men wearing red robes with the machete weapons they were using. Five men armed with machetes attacked two female warriors protecting a beautiful middle-aged woman.

“Dying Sword Dance: Cloud Splitting Lightning!”

Ye Xiaoya who saw the two female warriors pressed down, nearing death, instantly slashed her sword out of the air with such a swift movement. Ye Xiaoya's body shot down with his sword slash.

Ye Xiaoya's sword slash accompanied by deep energy along with the murderous aura killed one of the five swordsmen armed with a machete.

All eyes were on Ye Xiaoya. Then they were shocked back when they saw a young man coming to attack one of the warriors at high speed. In a single slash of his sword, the swordsman died. Now all that remains are three warriors armed with machetes.

“Yangler, nice attack!” Ye Xiaoya praised Jing Yang as she sheathed her two swords.

“I think one of those three people has reached the holy swordsman. Are you interested in fighting him?” Ye Xiaoya added with a faint smile looking at Jing Yang.

“Alright, Teacher. I'll fight him!” Jing Yang moved at high speed killing the two warriors who had no time to dwell against him.

“You two, dare to interfere in my affairs. Have you never heard of the name Five Blood Strikes?!” The man in red robes stared intently at Jing Yang and Ye Xiaoya sharply.

“I've never heard of..” Ye Xiaoya replied in a nonchalant tone, then he glanced at the two female warriors who were keeping a distance with him, ”What is the Five Blood Scrolls?”

“It...” One of the female swordsmen fluttered when Ye Xiaoya asked him.

“Sorry, senior!” The woman shouted quite loudly with cold sweat soaking her face, then she saluted before continuing her words,“Junior is named Mei Hua, and is from Peach Flower Palace!”

Ye Xiaoya let out a long sigh, “I did not ask your name and origin of your sect.”.

“Senior, the Five Blood Gauges are a black stream sect that originated from the Shi Empire. They intend to kill us, and the man named Liong Heng who was there has reached the holy swordsman. I heard, the Five Blood Glosses have been in the Jiang Empire with all of its members to plan a murder.” The woman with a flat face explained as briefly as possible to Ye Xiaoya.

“Qiu May! Why did you tell him! What if this guy kills us?!” A woman named Mei Hua whispered in the ear of a woman who turned out to be named Qiu Mei.

“Is he a killer too? I just found out..” Qiu Mei whispered in Mei Hua's ear

“Keep, besides I am with my students this is on the way and happened to pass by. I won't kill you..” Ye Xiaoya took out the beef and gave it to Mei Hua, Qiu Mei and Yi Yue, “We better eat this beef while watching my disciple fight.”.

Ye Xiaoya ate voraciously despite the four corpses still smelling the smell of fresh blood. Mei Hua, Qiu Mei and Yi Yue instantly felt nauseous and vomited their entrails behind the tree.

“Do you guys never eat this beef?” Ye Xiaoya did not care and ate the beef with his fine.

‘How can he be this calm..’ Mei Hua nodded and looked at Ye Xiaoya in disbelief.

‘Seeing it eating makes me nauseous. And, even worse, he was calm to see his disciple who was the same age as us fighting against the holy warrior.’ Qiu Mei was in disbelief seeing Ye Xiaoya who was acting calm. Even Ye Xiaoya letting Jing Yang fight was as foolish an act as sending her disciple to death, as she thought Jing Yang was the same age as Mei Hua and herself.

‘Yang...., is the child the son of Lian.’ Yi Yue nodded and continued to spit out her entrails. Then he looked at Jing Yang very seriously.

“Little child. Looks like you're overconfident. I'll skin you myself, after that I'll kill you, damned woman!” The man holding the red-colored machete, named Liong Heng looked at Ye Xiaoya furiously.

“The Breath Art of the Wind Dragon Goddess!” Jing Yang ignored Liong Heng's words and remained calm, then he cultivated his breathing, before moving at high speed while swinging his sword.
