Chapter 1076


    Martin''s expression turned sullen as he asked, "Downey, tell me what''s on your mind."


    Downey nodded before standing up to exin, "When I was promoting my business before, I stayed


    in Westamor District for several months. I''ve heard of the Yue family."


    "They are a centuries-old martial arts family; they practically dominate the Westamor District. The


    family has a powerful background and the Old Master of the Yue family, Weldon, is rumored to have


    reached the Earth Level and is considered as a top martial arts expert."


    "Since Master Wu had mentioned that Fade had defeated Weldon, wouldn''t that mean Fade has


    reached the Earth Level as well? That was why I..." At this point, there was no need to continue


    their discussion. Every member of the Li family was dumbfounded and was rendered speechless for


    quite a long while.


    Even though they couldn''tprehend who Weldon was, they were shocked to hear the words


    ''Earth Level'' being uttered.


    "A master of Earth Level in his twenties? Is... Is that even possible?" Someone frowned, suspicious.


    Hanson merely frowned and asked, "Aren''t these just rumors? Have they been confirmed?"


    "Although I wasn''t an eye witness, many from the martial arts circle back home know this to be


    true," the bandaged Master Wu replied.


    "That means you can prove it to be true then?" Hanson snorted coldly as he muttered.


    "That''s..." Master Wu couldn''t figure out what else to say. He was rendered speechless.


    At that moment, Hanson''s son, Billy, who was dressed up in leather clothes, curled his lips into an


    arrogant smile andmentedzily, "Earth Level? A Master in Dragonville? Please, it must be an


    exaggeration. I think his ability is subpar at most!"


    "No matter how powerful of a martial artist he is, he isn''t bulletproof, is he? If Fade shows up again,


    well just arrange a toon of gunners and gun him down! He can''t possibly avoid that now, can


    he?" Billy continued. He did not know much about martial artists so he did not think very highly of it.


    Most of the younger generation in the Li family nodded in agreement.


    After all, they were more familiar with Western culture and were more enticed by secret agents,


    killers, supernatural beings, and mutant warriors.


    They simply did not find traditional Chinese martial artists to their liking. As such, they appeared


    naturally scorned by the idea of it.


    Master Wu frowned upon hearing Billy''s contempt towards martial artists. He shook his head a little


    and sighed.


    Billy couldn''t help feeling upset when he saw Benedict''s reaction and so, he voiced his displeasure,


    "Hey, what are you shaking your head for?! Do you really think that punk is bulletproof? How can


    anyone be?! Do you want to do a demonstration, perhaps? I can try shooting you now. Let''s see


    how you fare against a bullet!"


    As he spoke, Billy fished out a ck gun from his trousers and pointed it at Benedict with a


    snobbish look on his face. He was being tantly disrespectful.


    The group of youngsters from the Li family were all anticipating a good show.


    When Martin saw this, his face darkened as he barked out, "Billy, put that gun away! Stop messing


    around."


    Billy quirked his lip as heplied, putting away the pistol reluctantly. However, he did not reign


    back his rudeness as he taunted, "Is Master Wu really the so- called martial artist from Dragonville?


    I bet that''s just a hoax..."


    Although Benedict was injured, he was still a ck Level master. Being humiliated by ignorant


    youngsters made him snap, "Master Billy, you don''t seem to believe in the power martial artists


    possess. Very well, I will present you with a humble show."


    After that, he dragged his injured body across the room, warming up a little before he sprinted his


    way towards Billy.


    The speed at which Benedict rushed towards him was startling. However, he managed to grab hold


    of the gun he had just put away and pointed it at him. The corners of his mouth lifted into a smirk as


    he snickered, "You forced me into this."


    With that, Billy pulled the trigger.


    "Don''t!" Just as Martin yelled out in warning, it had been toote.


    With a loud bang, a ball of me shot out of Billy''s muzzle, the bullet shot towards Benedict.


    Seeing this, most of the Li family members couldn''t help feeling shocked. They shook their heads


    and frowned, looking on in dismay. They inwardlymented Benedict''s recklessness.


    Billy and the bunch of youngsters around him lit up in excitement. They were looking on eagerly,


    expecting Benedict to die on the spot from the shot.


    However, just as they were smiling in triumph, Benedict, who clearly had no way of avoiding the


    gunshot suddenly made his move and pulled out an afterimage. As such, he had managed to dodge


    the bullet.


    "How did he..." Billy and the others gaped at the scene in astonishment. With gritted teeth, he went


    and pulled the trigger again, and again.


    Several bullets shot out of his pistol, all zooming towards Benedict''s chest.


    Even so, Benedict moved even faster than before. At lightning speed, Benedict managed to avoid


    all of Billy''s bullets. His movements were too quick for anyone to catch with their naked eye.


    Before Billy could snap back to his senses, Benedict appeared before him. Snatching the gun out of


    his hand, he aimed it at Billy''s forehead.


    "Don''t you dare..." Billy shrieked out furiously. However, he toned down his rage in an instant,


    trembling a little in fright.


    Hanson couldn''t help stammering out in shock when he saw that his son had a gun pointed at his


    head, "Billy..."


    Before any more words could get out, Benedict had already squeezed the gun he held in his hand


    into a useless lump of iron. He let it go, letting it fall to Billy''s feet with a loud ng.


    He then withdrew his hand and took a step back. He spared Billy a cold re and muttered, "Young


    Master Billy, this is the true strength of a martial artist."


    At that moment, Billy and the younger members of the Li family looked back at Benedict with


    immense shock painted on their faces. The ones who had looked down on martial arts prior to his


    demonstration were all rendered dumbstruck.


    With a soft snort, Benedict continued, "Understand that with my skills, I am only a ck Level


    martial artist. After passing the pinnacle stage of the ck Level, I''ll be able to reach Earth Level


    and finally be an Earth Level master."


    "Fade managed to defeat Weldon. That would mean that he is at least an Earth Level martial artist


    in his first few stages. His strength will equate to ten times of mine."


    "Now, Young Master Billy, are you going to revise your opinion on Fade being essentially


    bulletproof?" Benedict questioned.


    Billy did not know how to answer that; he was already tongue-tied from the shock.


    On the other hand, Hanson tried to stand up for his son with an unhappy expression on his face, "If


    a gun won''t work, what about a rifle? A sniper maybe? A bazooka?"


    Benedict spared a nce at Hanson and stated lowly, "Mr. Hanson, if you believe that you can use


    weapons as such to deal with an Earth Level master, go ahead."


    "Just a reminder. Before Fade came to Jade City, rumor has it that he managed to kill two Ace


    Killers, Kenny and Davina from the Blood de Killer Organization in Dragonville."


    Hearing this, most of the Li family members exchanged confused looks with each other.

    However, Hanson, Billy, as well as the youngsters couldn''t help but look stricken.
