"Young man, you can tell I am more powerful than these two? Are you a martial artist too?" William asked while raising his brows.
"Martial artist? I don't know. I just have a feeling that you are powerful, more than those two."
Enzo made up an excuse. Obviously, he could not tell that as a cultivator of the Immortal Realm he could tell the power levels of people in the Mortal Realm.
"Old man, can you tell me more about martial artists?" Enzo asked. He really wanted to know about the power level of the people of this world. Although Ki Gathering level 2 was far stronger than a normal human being, it was not invincible. And seeing that the old man and his bodyguards were more powerful than him, he decided to ask about the power levels.
"We don't actually call them martial artists, they are called martial warriors or simply warriors. As for the power levels, it's divided into four categories. The first is Golden Level, then Mystic, followed by Earth and at last Heaven. These four categories are further subdivided into early, middle, and late stages." Old man William replied.
"I see."
"Martial Warriors are very secretive. You won't know one unless he or she deliberately shows his or her powers."
Enzo smiled. He did not need them to show their powers to know whether they are warriors or not.
"Young man, I am surprised, how did you know about our powers when no one of us did anything revealing," William asked.
"Eh, I..." Just as Enzo wanted to make an excuse, William's phone rang.
"Hello? Yes, tell me. Hmm hmm, what? No, don't do anything I am coming back right now" William replied in a panicked tone.
"Young man we shall continue this conversation some other day." William smiled and left hurriedly in his car.
'What an unexpected encounter. The second day in this world and I have already met people who are stronger than me. Guess I have to speed up my cultivation.' Enzo shook his head.
"Now let's find out the reason why there's so much Ki Energy at this place. "
Enzo started looking around. He wanted to find the source of the Ki Energy. Walking around 200m he found a plant.
"What??!! Spiritweed Grass!!" He yelled out in surprise.
"Hahaha what a delight. I did not expect a spirit plant to appear in this world. This world is really mysterious. First that powerful old man and now a spirit grass. I should not underestimate this place."
"Now this Spiritweed Grass will definitely help me reach Ki Energy Level 3. Hah, here I was wondering how will I reach Level 3 in this energyless world." Enzo was excited.
He quickly and carefully cut the grass and ran off to his apartment as fast as he could.
As soon as he reached home the first thing did was boil a cup of water and place the Spiritweed grass in it. After around 30 minutes, he drank the hot water and swallowed the grass. Then he sat in lotus position while chanting the 'Five Element Chant' and 'Saint Body Chant' simultaneously.
One whole day passed by while Enzo was still cultivating. Black filth was seeping out of his body. Unable to bear the stench from his body, Enzo opened his eyes and ran straight to the shower.
After he came out of the shower, he decided to check his level. The findings were both surprising and disappointing for Enzo. He reached Ki Gathering Level 3 early-stage.
'If it wasn't for the unbearable stench, I would have reached late-stage, just a little short from Level 4 Ki Gathering.'
What made Enzo happy was that his body strengthening level reached 'Stone Body'.
'Well, it's not too bad I believe, with level 3 power and stone body, I don't believe I won't be a match for that old man.'
'Oh shit, I have no money. What am I gonna do? This place needs money for everything. I need to find one of those jobs from Enzo's memories.' Enzo rubbed his temples. He had no idea what to do next.
He quickly left his apartment and went to the market area.
While strolling through the market he came across a less crowded place. He noticed a man acting strangely. The man was carrying a bag. He was continuously looking around. Soon he heard the sound of sirens coming from a distance. As soon as he heard the sound of sirens he started running. But he did not notice that packet fell from the bag he was carrying.
Enzo noticed this and quickly went and picked the packet.
"Hey wait this fell from your bag!!" Enzo yelled but the man was already out of sight.
He checked the packet and was stunned. There were around 50 notes of 100 Solari.
"5000! It's a lot of money I guess. But that man is nowhere to be seen. What should I do now?"
"Well, since I need money right now I will just use this and when I see that man once again I will just return his money". Enzo decided.
He went back towards the market area. But what he did not know that the money did not belong to the man. That man was a thief who stole the bag from a young woman. And after running for only some distance he was caught by the police.
"Young Lady this is your bag. Please check your contents and tell us." A policeman handed the bag to a young lady.
A young girl in her 20s came running. She quickly checked her bag but after looking inside tears fell from her eyes.
"My money..my money is missing. Thief where's my money? Give me back my money right now!"
The policeman heard this and quickly grabbed the thief's collar.
"Where is the young miss's money? Tell us quickly or it won't be good for you."
"Money? What money? I did not touch a fu**ing thing in it. I had nothing to do with the money." The man shouted. He was so confused. He clearly saw money in the bag but why was it not there now?
"Looks like you have got an accomplice. You won't say anything here. We will take you to the station and once you receive the 4th-degree treatment you will spill your guts and I mean literally." The police scoffed.
"4th-degree??! Isn't it 3rd-degree...."
"Take him away. Young lady, you should come to the station and file a port. We will get your money." The policeman reassured the girl.
The young girl was still in tears but nodded her head. Then she went to the station with the policemen.
