Chapter 83 My Master
This basement was well-stocked.
Maria took out a T-shirt and a pair of short jeans from the wardrobe.
Only after she put them on did she turn around to face Gabriel again.
"Uh... ahem, ahem!"
Gabriel's eyes unconsciously fell on Maria's chest.
All clothes but underwear could be found in the wardrobe, which meant Maria was now wearing no underwear.
"Sit on the sofa. This is the tea Grandpa has just made. I think it's still warm. It's drinkable!"
Maria made an inviting gesture and took the chance to pick up the clothes she had just taken off.
She took out a pack of chewing gum and tossed the clothes away.
She peeled off a gum, put it into her mouth, and began chewing it.
But her expression suddenly became sadly grave.
Gabriel looked to where Maria was looking and finally knew why.
Captain Johnson and four guards were lying dead in the distance.
Maria slowly removed the rubber band from her ponytail and put it on her left wrist.
She walked over and gathered the corpses.
Watching these dead bodies, she couldn't help but feel sad.
Captain Johnson had always been working hard.
He was killed by Ghost Face because he stood up for her grandpa.
She would never have a chance to hear his simple and honest voice again.
Suppressing her emotions, Maria returned to the sofa and sat down across from Gabriel.
The two cups of tea were a little cold, but she drained one cup in a few gulps, looking heroic.
But Gabriel still couldn't calm down.
Out of sexual desire, he couldn't stop himself from looking at Maria's chest.
Whenever Maria moved, her breasts would clearly dance.
The dancing waves made his heart itch.
"Are you done looking?"
Maria folded her snow-white arms, which blocked his view.
Then she tilted her head, staring at Gabriel coldly.
"Sorry, a little dazzling!"
Gabriel picked up the teacup and coughed in embarrassment before gulping down the tea.
As the tea went down, his mouth didn't feel dry anymore.
Maria didn't care about it. She said slowly, "You're frighteningly strong in fighting, but why do you look like you've just begun practicing?"
She had just observed Gabriel's fight with Ghost Face and found that Gabriel had many weaknesses and lacked decent fighting skills and regular fighting moves.
But why was Ghost Face defeated? It was simply because he had a heaven-defying physique, but he didn't seem to know how to fight. This was hard to understand!
Somehow Gabriel appreciated Maria very much.
He had no mind to guard against Maria. He said frankly, "Miss Adams, I confess to you, I've lost my memory. It's been three years! Maybe I was a genius fighter three years ago, but I've forgotten everything. Now I fight only with physical instincts!"
"Oh, I see!" Maria saw the light.
But this was still shocking.
He could easily beat a Sky-List fighter only with his physique.
She was wondering how well Gabriel could fight before he lost his memory.
Anyway, he had nothing to do now. Taking memory loss as an excuse, he asked, "Miss Adams, now I've lost my memory. I only have some body instincts and muscle memories left. I know nothing about martial arts. Just now, you spoke of the Mortal, Combat, and Physique Realms for martial arts practitioners. Could you please tell me about them in detail?"
He could ask no one about these things previously. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Now he had time to hear Maria talk about them.
"Of course!" While chewing the gum, Maria answered, "Each country has its own combat techniques. They're called martial arts or fighting skills in the Dragon Kingdom!
"Initially, there were no realm distinctions for those who could fight. They would know who was better after a fight.
"But with the development of the times and the connectivity of world information, the combat masters across the world then had opportunities to compete with one another!
"I can even say that the fighting techniques of these people, to some extent, have an impact on the development of their countries!
"This is not scaremongering!"
Gabriel nodded, admitting it.
People lived in the sun. They didn't know that there was also an Underground World in the dark night of the world.
No matter who they were, governments, large consortiums and multinational corporations, underground organizations of all kinds, or the combatants who could fight, they were all important participants.
As for the armed forces of all countries, they were more of a gathering place for fighters.
Thus, the fighters did have an impact on the development of the countries. It was not scaremongering at all.
Maria continued, "With more and more combatants gathering in the chaotic Underground World, it was high time to build a measuring gauge to decide each one's fighting level! During the Republic period the Dragon Kingdom, a force called the Heaven Crypto Studio formed in the Underground
World. It proposed to build a comprehensive fighting realm system and created the Sky List of the Dragon Kingdom. It was the first time this had been proposed!"
"Heaven Crypto Studio?" Gabriel was surprised.
The Heaven Crypto Studio was getting more mysterious.
Maria said, "Since the Heaven Crypto Studio was quite clear and accurate in dividing realms, totally noticing the nodes of all stages of the martial artists, they were soon approved by the martial artists of the whole Dragon Kingdom!
"They were even spread to the whole world and became the realms recognized by fighters around the globe!
"It is said that apart from the Sky List, the fighting power ranking list that is popular around the world is called the Roster of Gods!"
"Sky List? Roster of Gods?" Gabriel narrowed his eyes.
The world was huge. Ghost Face seemed to be nothing to speak of, so beating him was not something to be proud of.
Maria shook her long hair and continued, "I learn martial arts from my master, and I know the four early stages of fighting power.
"Level one: those at the Mortal Level who know nothing about fighting, namely the ordinary people who have not touched martial arts.
"Level two: martial artists at the combating level. They begin cultivating their physique and can master some fighting skills or regular fighting moves.
"Most of them are at this level! The range of combating fighters is the widest.
"Level three: fighting masters at the Physique level. A term has to be introduced: physical limits.
"Everyone's physique is born different. Then, some are talented in martial arts practice while others are not. The standard for measuring talent is the maximum values that the bodily functions can reach through training.
"People with higher talent are superior in terms of speed, strength, reflexes, and other physical abilities.
"People are different in talent, and the limit values determine the maximum limit of a person practicing martial arts. Once a person has reached their physique limit, their bodily functions will remain closed.
"Although they can't improve their bodily functions, their fighting power will have a qualitative leap. They will reach the Physique Level and become a fighting master.
"Level four: the Internal Power Master.
"I can't imagine there is such a realm. My master hasn't told me about it. It's said that those at or above this stage are all heaven-defying fighters.
"Whether there're other realms above it, my master didn't give a word, and I don't know."
Gabriel nodded, thinking.
Now he finally had a preliminary knowledge of fighting power.
Then he turned to Maria and suddenly smiled, "Miss Adams, my club wants a combat trainer to work on the eighth floor. I think you're very suitable. Do you want to come? I'm willing to pay your
asking price!"
Thomas and the Twelve Birds needed a professional master.
Now Maria looked quite suitable.
"Okay!" Maria immediately agreed but added, "I don't need the salary. I just want to have a serious fight with you at the end of each month."
