Cultivation and the martial path, Cat Teacher's realm
At night, the Sharku Manor was brightly lit.
A campfire burns on the lawn, and a huge grilled fish is placed on it, slowly rotating.
Scattered in front of the long wooden table were the skeletons of grilled fish and empty wine glasses.
"Let's welcome the Cat Sage to our team, cheers!"
Ian had messy hair and several claw marks on his face, but he seemed quite pleased as he picked up his expensive drink and downed it in one gulp.
Everyone smiled and joined him in drinking their beverages or wine.
Of course, there are also two special members among them. One is Carpenter Achen and a robot with great conviction who can build a city in a short time.
The other is a fluffy cat, whose face is also bruised and swollen, like that of the Cat Teacher, Chehu.
"Cheers!"
However, the Cat Teacher now looked very happy, with his belly bulging round and plump. He didn't seem to care about the injury on his face at all. He held a skewer of grilled fish in one paw, and half a dried fish in his mouth. He held a cup of sake in his other hand and drank it all in one gulp!
Although its Martial Arts level was terrifying at this moment.
However, faced with Ian's endless array of gadgets, he still had to admit defeat.
Fortunately, the two became friends after their fight, and their relationship actually grew closer afterward.
Of course, they weren't really fighting seriously to begin with.
After all, Cat Teacher Chehu was very grateful to Ian for helping him come to this real world.
However, even it didn't expect that its 20,000 years of cultivation trapped in that space would not have been in vain.
After arriving in this world, his cultivation level continued to rise.
The bottleneck that had been holding him back was easily broken through, even continuously, until he vaguely touched upon a completely new realm.
The true meaning of Martial Arts, which I couldn't understand before, is now as simple as eating and drinking.
The moves that used to require all my strength to execute can now be done with a mere thought.
Nobunaga sat beside the Cat Teacher, constantly handing him grilled fish. He knew that the teacher loved this, so he patiently gave him what he liked to eat.
"Awoo awoo!"
Cat Teacher didn't hold back at all and ate heartily. The hostility she had felt from her earlier argument with Ian had long been worn away by the delicious food and the evening breeze.
Its mouth was full of fish oil, which made Nobunaga feel a great sense of accomplishment in feeding it.
The people of Meteor City are all orphans.
Although the Cat Teacher is very strict, and not even human.
However, its interaction with Nobunaga allowed Nobunaga to experience what it meant to be a strict teacher who was like a father.
This slowly built emotional bond is sincere and extremely precious.
Of course, this feeling wasn't unique to Nobunaga.
Even for Cat Teacher- sensei, Nobunaga was seen as his successor, and his attitude towards Nobunaga was different from that of the people around him.
On the long table nearby, Ian looked at the relationship between Cat Teacher and Nobunaga and nodded with satisfaction.
He hadn't expected Nobunaga to have such an opportunity.
Long ago, he had considered finding another master for Nobunaga, but Nobunaga did not agree at the time. Apart from his own sword, he only recognized his Cat Teacher.
Now, Nobunaga's teacher is the Cat Teacher, Chehu.
Even looking at the entire world, there are probably almost no Martial Arts stronger than him.
After all, while Aimina and Nobunaga might not understand, he himself was a connoisseur. In other words, this Cat Teacher in front of him had already reached the level of Earthly Immortal.
He's practically a real Cat Sage.
Their level of skill and strength are far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.
The Cat Teacher, who was being fed, didn't hold back at all, and the whole night was quite lively.
Under the glow of the campfire, it floated leisurely in mid-air, its tail drooping and swaying idly, looking lazy and content.
"Cat Teacher, you said before that you were already a royal Martial Arts instructor when you were in the Cat Country?"
Nobunaga immediately transformed into a cat lover, gently stroking the Cat Teacher's fur with a hint of curiosity in his voice.
Are there many masters like you in the Cat Country?
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look. Ian also came over. Although he had already guessed, he still took out a small dried fish and handed it to Cat Teacher while speaking.
"Yes, tell us what the Cat Country is like. If there's a chance, with your current strength, Cat Teacher, you could easily quell any cat-dog war as long as you're here!"
Cat Teacher glanced at Ian, took the dried fish with a hint of annoyance, chewed it a couple of times, and then slowly said, his tone tinged with a sense of vicissitude.
"It's not that simple..."
"The Cat Country where I reside is not the ordinary cat kingdom you see now, but a kingdom of Catfolk that can transform into human form, are skilled in Martial Arts, and possess all sorts of abilities."
"Transformation?"
Uvogin stared wide-eyed, scratching his head in disbelief.
"Cat Teacher, can you transform into a human too?"
"Of course... no!"
The Cat Teacher rolled her eyes and wagged her tail.
"Why would I choose to transform into the form of you humans? That's not the right path. I walk the most authentic path of Martial Arts cultivation, the glorious Great Way."
"As for those Catfolk who choose to transform into human form, in my opinion, it's utterly heretical and completely contrary to their purpose!"
"Although they have also cultivated some kind of inexplicable 'qi,' of course... it's different from the Nen of your continent. It's said to be able to cultivate one's character and temperament, but from my observation, it seems to be of little use. They are always defeated by Martial Arts experts. I seem to have heard that they call themselves 'Cultivation,' but in my opinion, they have already abandoned the appearance of the Catfolk, so where is the 'truth' to speak of?"
As she spoke, Cat Teacher shook her head, seemingly disappointed by her son's lack of ambition.
Ian, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded.
Cultivation... Cultivation?
In the Cat Country, there was originally a group of cats who embarked on the true path of Immortal Cultivation.
He glanced at the Cat Teacher in front of him with a complicated expression. The other man spoke eloquently, exuding the air of a Martial Arts master, little did he know...
Those Cultivation cats who were defeated by the Martial Arts cats in the early stages were the true late-stage masters in the cultivation process.
If you, who studies martial arts, fight someone Immortal Cultivation, you'll probably only gain an advantage in the early stages.
However, judging from what Cat Teacher said, it seems that those cats are just starting out, and they are probably still exploring the path of Immortal Cultivation.
Interesting... If I had the chance, I'd really like to see what the Cat Country is like.
Cat Teacher has been gone from there for a long time.
Presumably, many different changes have occurred there by now.
"Why did you, Cat Teacher, never come into contact with Nen inside the Gate of Glory, but awaken Nen as soon as you came out, and even break through to such a high level..."
At this moment, Eluna looked at the Cat Teacher, and then glanced at Ian.
In her view, Cat Teacher's current level of attainment has far surpassed the "Extreme Realm," a concept she has never even encountered before.
Therefore, she was very eager to know the reason, and she knew in her heart that probably only Ian knew the answer.
When Nen Ability was mentioned, Cat Teacher was also a little puzzled. He adjusted his posture, scratched his head with his paw, and said calmly.
"I know nothing about this matter either. Logically speaking, I just took a nap."
"Then I woke up and felt myself become one with this world..."
"In other words..."
The Cat Teacher stretched out its paw and casually waved it a few times. Streaks of light swirled around the tip of its paw, and in the darkness of the night, each wave left cracks in the space that was so close at hand.
"I feel that this world is like water, and I can transform into a fish, freely swimming in this clear pond."
