Of course! When Flying Fish discovered that Ye Hao was the world's biggest terrorist, he was so shocked that he couldn't utter a single word.
Ye Hao went directly to a private residence on Wealth Island, where Su Chenhong lived. He didn't recklessly go to find the three great masters by himself.
He first wanted to learn about the basic tactics of the three from Su Chenhong, such as which sect or school they belonged to, and what their relationship chain with God was—were they trying to curry favor with God, or was God their direct superior?
Since Su Chenhong had detained them for so long, he must have gained some understanding, making it convenient for Ye Hao to find out the situation from him.
Ye Hao arrived at Su Chenhong's independent courtyard.
At this moment, Su Chenhong was watering plants, living quite a leisurely life, occasionally visiting his granddaughter, and spending the rest of the time on Wealth Island watching Xue Zhaolong and others being trained by those two National Martial Arts tenth-stage practitioners.
Although the training methods looked unbearable, their effectiveness was undeniable.
Take Xue Zhaolong and the other two, for instance. They broke through to the fourth stage of National Martial Arts in a short time and are now solidified at that level.
As for the Gambling King and Ran Tai, with their high skills, progress isn't easy, but their various inherent strengths have greatly improved.
Su Chenhong was also very curious about how this group would develop over time. Thus, he regarded Wealth Island as a domain under his management, not allowing others to harm this group on the island.
Ye Hao entered the courtyard and saw Su Chenhong watering plants. He greeted, "Grandfather."
"Haha, you're back, boy?" Su Chenhong had long known Ye Hao had returned to Wealth Island but knew Ye Hao would come to him, so he didn't rush to seek him out.
"Just got back, Grandpa. Has there been any movement in Peng City recently?" Ye Hao asked.
"Not much movement here, but seeing you in such a hurry, are you worried about those two National Martial Arts twelfth-stage and the Half-Innate practitioner?" Su Chenhong asked with a smile.
"Half-Innate?" Ye Hao looked puzzled at Su Chenhong, wondering what that meant.
Ye Hao didn't know that past the twelfth stage of National Martial Arts was the realm of Innate masters, even though his two mentors were exceptionally powerful, he had no idea of their current strength, and they wouldn't say either.
"I forgot you didn't know what comes after the twelfth stage. Seeing your current strength at the seventh stage, it's time for you to know some things." Su Chenhong smiled.
"I eagerly await to hear." Ye Hao said with anticipation as he looked at Su Chenhong.
"Haha! The twelfth stage of National Martial Arts wasn't always known as such; it was called the Postnatal Realm. Why postnatal? Because they are not born naturally but are developed, humans themselves are limited by the constraints of birth. Only by breaking these constraints can one enter another realm, the Innate..." Su Chenhong explained with a smile.
"Oh? Why is it called Innate?" Ye Hao asked, puzzled.
"Breaking through human constraints is akin to breaking the limitations of birth, making such individuals naturally without barriers, smoothly progressing. Of course, this refers to beings naturally innate, whereas we humans must endure hardships to enter another realm beyond the Innate. I've only heard of it, but can't confirm if someone truly broke through to it..." Su Chenhong shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Oh? There's another realm beyond Innate?" Ye Hao wondered, thinking, if that's the case, could it mean that Zhang Ruochen's mentor entered another realm? He asked, "Grandfather, do you know the Wuji brothers Heaven and Earth?"
"I've heard of those two elders." Su Chenhong nodded.
"Do you know what level of strength Elder Zhang Ruochen possesses?" Ye Hao didn't disclose that he was Zhang Ruochen's disciple; he didn't like being overshadowed by the reputation of his master's school. He wanted to conquer challenges with his own actions.
Otherwise, upon hearing that Ye Hao was Zhang Ruochen's disciple, martial arts people would give him some face.
"That, I'm not too sure, but I suppose it's likely to be at the pinnacle of Innate. After all, they were Innate masters when young, and they are exceptionally talented, possibly having broken through over the years." Su Chenhong didn't know why Ye Hao asked, but shared what he knew as a reminder.
"Oh." Ye Hao nodded, thinking that Zhang Ruochen's mentor indeed had broken through to another realm! The thought excited him.
How could one not be excited? It was someone who surpassed the realm of Innate masters! But what kind of existence was that realm? Ye Hao didn't know.
Neither did Su Chenhong, he had only vaguely heard his grandfather mention it and had forgotten most of it by now.
He himself was only at the early stage of the Innate realm.
"Why ask this?" Su Chenhong asked Ye Hao, puzzled.
Ye Hao shook his head with a smile, "You'll know in the future, Grandpa."
"You boy, being all secretive, alright, let's go see those three!" Su Chenhong reluctantly smiled.
"I was thinking of asking whether you've looked into them, like their martial arts routines, backgrounds..."
"Where would I have time to ask them, I just know their leader recently broke through to Half-Innate..."
Hearing this, Ye Hao asked as they walked, "Grandfather, what's the relationship between Innate and Half-Innate?"
"Innate is truly innate; Half-Innate refers to those with lesser aptitude who failed to enter the Innate realm, remaining in a vague state, known as Half-Innate. It means someone attempted to break into Innate but failed, nevertheless gaining some insights from the attempt, making this Half-Innate state slightly stronger than the twelfth stage of National Martial Arts." Su Chenhong explained.
"So according to you, the leader once attempted to break into Innate but failed?"
"Haha, indeed! Breaking into Innate is exceedingly difficult; I almost couldn't make it too. Fortunately, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms I learned provided a Yang Internal Breath, making me slightly stronger than the average National Martial Arts twelfth-stage practitioner, allowing me to enter Innate." Su Chenhong nostalgically recounted his breakthrough to the Innate realm.
It was indeed too difficult. Failing to charge into the Innate realm in one go would result in falling back to the Half-Innate stage.
This vague Half-Innate stage is a boon for those struggling to enter Innate.
But for those with good aptitude like them, it's a shackle.
This shackle comes from the mind, causing them to feel their aptitude might not be good enough, hence unable to forcefully break into Innate... (To be continued.
