What level of cultivation is in Chapter 550?
Kyoto High Speed Rail Station was bustling with people.
As soon as Wang Xinyao, Zhao Haoxuan, Chen Qingfeng, Zhao Shun, and Yu Niangzi stepped out of the turnstile, they saw Xiao Yifeng in a police uniform standing straight at the arrival gate, waving at them.
"Xinyao! Over here!" Xiao Yifeng greeted her with a hearty smile. "I've arranged the hotel, and the car is right outside. Let's go."
"Thank you for your trouble, senior brother!" Wang Xinyao said with a smile.
After Chen Qingfeng, Zhao Shun, and Yu Niangzi got into the car in front, she and Zhao Haoxuan got into the car driven by Xiao Yifeng.
After the car started, Wang Xinyao's gaze swept over the brand-new badge on his shoulder, and she raised an eyebrow: "Oh, senior brother, you've been promoted?"
Xiao Yifeng scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
"This is all thanks to you! If it weren't for the crucial evidence you risked providing earlier, that old fox Liu Jianwen wouldn't have been caught so quickly."
His tone was sincere, his eyes full of gratitude. He paused, then lowered his voice and said, "Seriously, Xinyao, don't you really want to report the credit?"
"You and Captain Wang... you deserve the most credit, the chief inspector position might just be yours."
"No, senior brother." Wang Xinyao shook her head, a hint of relief in her smile.
“My husband lives abroad. We’ll go back after this is all settled. I’ve already prepared my resignation letter, so you’ll have to approve it.”
"Are you really leaving?" Xiao Yifeng gripped the steering wheel tighter, feeling a pang of reluctance.
Wang Xinyao is not only his junior, but also his comrade-in-arms who has fought alongside him many times.
"Yes, we have to go." Wang Xinyao's tone was gentle but firm.
"Then... will you come back?" Xiao Yifeng glanced at her in the rearview mirror: "You can't just leave for many years like before."
His eyes reddened as he finished speaking.
"I'll be back." Wang Xinyao looked out the window at the fleeting street scene, her voice soft but carrying a promise.
The car was quiet for a moment, with only the hum of the engine audible.
Xiao Yifeng turned on his turn signal and the car turned into another street.
He cleared his throat and got back to the point: "The execution site is all set up. You and Captain Wang, as the core investigators of the case, can come with us into the prison area."
"Thank you, Senior Brother." Wang Xinyao paused, turned slightly to the side, and said earnestly, "But Senior Brother, I have another request... Could you let my husband in as well?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifeng frowned slightly and tapped his fingers lightly twice on the steering wheel.
"Xinyao, you're a veteran police officer, you know the rules. Non-law enforcement personnel are strictly prohibited from entering the execution site."
"Bringing my brother-in-law in is against the rules." He then realized his tone was a bit harsh and added, "I'm the chief of police. Bringing someone in... technically it's not impossible, but it's a deliberate violation."
"I know, don't worry, senior brother. I won't make things difficult for you. Just take him to the execution site. Is that alright?"
“This…” Xiao Yifeng was still somewhat hesitant.
Seeing this, Wang Xinyao stopped insisting and changed the subject: "By the way, Senior Brother, have you tried the pill I gave you last time?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifeng immediately perked up, his eyebrows and eyes lighting up, and he instantly forgot about his earlier embarrassment.
"I ate it! The effect is simply amazing!" His voice even rose a few decibels.
"I feel like all those decades of hard work have been for nothing!"
Before, when I was training, I could never jump over that high obstacle no matter what I did, but now I can jump over it with just one push.
And that slippery climbing wall, now I can actually climb it with ease.
What kind of treasure did you give me? I feel like I've been reborn!
"Congratulations, Senior Brother, on officially stepping into the threshold of a Level 1 Martial Artist," Wang Xinyao said with a smile.
"Level 1 martial artist? Martial artists are divided into levels?" Xiao Yifeng's eyes widened, and he quickly glanced at the rearview mirror. "Xinyao, what level are you now?"
Wang Xinyao smiled and said casually, "Let me put it this way, even if there were five hundred more like you, they wouldn't be able to get close to me."
"Five hundred?!" Xiao Yifeng was so shocked that he instinctively slammed on the brakes.
"Screech—!" The tires emitted a piercing screeching sound.
Wang Xinyao and Zhao Haoxuan leaned forward abruptly.
The car behind immediately blared its horn and yelled, "How can you drive like that! Sudden braking in the city, are you trying to kill us?!"
"Sorry, I'll leave right away!" Xiao Yifeng poked his head out, revealing his police uniform.
The driver of the car behind saw the uniform, stopped cursing abruptly, and shrunk back in embarrassment.
Once back on the road, Xiao Yifeng's mind was no longer at ease, and his palms were sweating as he gripped the steering wheel.
"Xinyao, tell me quickly, what comes after a martial artist...?"
"Drive carefully, I'll talk to you later."
As they were talking, the car had already entered the hotel driveway.
After everyone got out of the car and settled in, they had just sat down in the suite's living room when Xiao Yifeng eagerly asked, "Xinyao, tell me in detail, what comes after a martial artist!"
Chen Qingfeng, Zhao Shun, and Yu Niangzi also entered one after another.
As soon as Zhao Shun sat down, he heard this topic and immediately became interested.
He slowly picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then slammed it onto the coffee table with a light, crisp "thud."
He then leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and said, "Want to know? Come on, let me tell you."
“Listen, listen, Uncle, tell me quickly.” Xiao Yifeng leaned forward.
Zhao Shun cleared his throat and began to recount the knowledge in detail: "The path of cultivation begins with martial arts. Martial arts are divided into nine levels, with higher numbers indicating greater skill."
Above martial artists are martial masters, grandmasters, and great grandmasters; above that are spirit realm, martial king, and martial emperor; and then one can reach the Venerable realm.
Each major realm is further subdivided into nine ranks, from the first to the ninth.
Only after becoming a Venerable can one glimpse the realm of Saints, who are divided into four levels: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Peak.
As for those above the Saint level…” He deliberately dragged out his words, glancing at Xiao Yifeng's wide-eyed expression before slowly saying, “That is the realm of Immortals, governed by Immortal Emperors and Immortal Venerables.”
After speaking, he didn't forget to turn his gaze to Chen Qingfeng and Zhao Haoxuan.
This is a true Celestial Venerable or Celestial Emperor.
Xiao Yifeng was stunned, his mouth slightly agape, his mind buzzing.
He originally thought that by accidentally becoming a martial artist, he was already an "invincible master".
I never expected that I was only standing at the very bottom of a divine tower. Looking up, there were layers upon layers, reaching an unreachable height.
A complex emotion, both awe-inspiring and insignificant, welled up inside me.
"Uncle, Grand Uncle..." He stammered, looking at Zhao Shun with awe, "Then... what is your cultivation level now?"
Zhao Shun stroked his non-existent beard, raised his chin slightly, and a hint of smugness flashed in his eyes.
But he feigned indifference: "As for me, I'm not that great, just a mere peak Saint Realm cultivator."
"Saint...Saint Realm...Peak...Peak?!"
Xiao Yifeng felt his legs go weak and he slid off the sofa onto the carpet with a "plop".
