Inside the White Cloud Martial Hall's Disciple Courtyard.
"Did I hear that right? Did they just say the Seven Star Gang?" the short-haired female disciple asked in surprise.
"You heard right—it was the Seven Star Gang!" The effeminate male disciple wore an expression of utter shock.
"Senior Brother, what's so special about the Seven Star Gang? Are they that formidable?" The fair, chubby youth leaned over and asked curiously.
"Formidable is an understatement—" The effeminate male disciple shook his head. "The Seven Star Gang has countless experts. An ordinary gang would be considered decent if it had even one Iron Skin Realm Martial Artist.
"But the Seven Star Gang supposedly has no fewer than ten Martial Artists at the peak of the Iron Skin Realm alone! And of its six elders, three are Force-Entering Realm martial masters!
"The remaining three may not be Force-Entering Realm martial masters, but they are all masters proficient in strange arts such as medicine and divination!
"As for their leader, Li Hanchuan, he was already Abyss-Facing City's number one expert twenty years ago!
"No one knows just how powerful he is now. Rumor has it that he has already reached a realm beyond Force-Entering!"
"Beyond Force-Entering?!" the fair, chubby youth cried out.
The others all turned to look as well.

They had never expected there to be a realm beyond Force-Entering.
"That's right—supposedly, Li Hanchuan found a fragmentary True Art from somewhere, and that was how he broke through beyond Force-Entering!" the effeminate male disciple said in a lowered voice.
"True Art?!"
Everyone looked at one another. None of them had heard of it.
"A True Art isn't like the Qi-Blood martial arts we practice!
