Chapter 44: Gatherings, Hierarchy
Jiang Zhao, who had been in the group for several days after returning from Bailu Mountain, not only had some basic understanding of the martial arts in the real world, but also became a "familiar face" in the Jiangcheng martial arts circle. Of course, this familiar face still refers to the name of his group [Cicada Wind] rather than himself.
After staying like this for a few days, Jiang Zhao was also a little tired of this kind of life of watching movies at home and practicing internal skills in addition to chatting online.
After thinking about it for a while, he decided to do another crossover of the level 2 plane, not to ask for much to receive, in short, to adjust his decadent state.
After consuming 5,000 soul coins to buy a level 2 plane round-trip card, Jiang Zhao had not yet chosen the world he wanted to go to, but a sudden news in the QQ group caught his eye.
'Jiangcheng Warriors Association! ’。
The message was posted by an admin in the group who goes by the nickname 'Pencil Sharpener'.
As soon as this news came out, the group immediately became a lot lively, and many group members immediately began to discuss it enthusiastically, Jiang Zhao watched silently for a while, and finally figured out that this so-called martial arts association was actually a "classic activity" that started eleven years ago, second only to the 'annual meeting' set up by the official martial arts management organization in Jiangcheng.
Although at its source, this 'Jiangcheng Warriors Association' was originally just a dinner party initiated by a few older single male warriors in order to find the right girlfriend for themselves.
But because the first sorority really made three couples after the first sorority meeting that year, it caused a small craze in the warrior group - you must know that although the warrior can marry ordinary people, after all, there is a little less common language. In addition, some martial artists practice all year round, and the social circle is often not so wide, and many of them are dragged to the extent of older youth, and there is no suitable object. Therefore, in the case of such a demand, this friendship activity has been continued by the people in the Jiangcheng warrior group.
Jiang Zhao took a closer look at the message and found that the friendship time was tomorrow night, and after a little hesitation, Jiang Zhao decided to participate in this party.
It's not that Jiang Zhao wants to connect, he just wants to take this opportunity to get in touch with the martial arts circle in Jiangcheng, after all, Jiang Zhao is still a little curious about this kind of "similar group".
……
In the evening, Jiang Zhao took a ride to the hotel mentioned in the group message.
Under the guidance of the waiter, Jiang Zhao came to the hall booked by the group. The double-opened mahogany door was closed, Jiang Zhao pushed the door in, and the few people sitting in the hall at this time suddenly cast their eyes.
"Excuse me, this is the venue booked by the sorority, right?" Jiang Zhao asked, of course, he couldn't directly say whether this was a martial arts friendship group, so he just said the friendship without mentioning the identity.
But when they saw him ask, several people immediately understood that this person was not wrong, but a martial artist they didn't know.
One of the young men closest to the door stood up: "Hello, hello. What is your nickname in the group......? ”。
"Cicada wind.".
"Oh~~~ Luck, luck. I am the 'Three Youths of the Wang Family'! The young man took the initiative to shake hands with Jiang Zhao, and at this moment, Jiang Zhou could feel that the strength of this white-looking young man's hand was indeed not small. Compared to its appearance, it feels a little different.
The size of the hall is not very large, but there are about five tables.
At this time, only a few people came, and they all gathered around a table, and Jiang Zhao also sat at this table.
"Brother Cicada Wind, you only joined the group a while ago, right? I'm still impressed. Wang Sanshao said.
"Yes, I was introduced to this group a while ago, so I will join in and see what I know. By the way, why is your screen name ......".
The voice did not fall.
The third young man of the Wang family touched his chin with a wry smile and explained: "My name is purely my third in the family!" It has nothing to do with the guy who wrote the novel. ”。
I chatted with the three young men of the Wang family a few more words.
The door to the hall opened again, and several people entered in groups.
Jiang took a look and found that the other party was all young people in their early twenties, which couldn't help but surprise him a little - he didn't expect that there were so many young people in Jiangcheng who had trained their internal strength at a young age.
A few people who came seemed to be familiar with the three young men of the Wang family, and they exchanged pleasantries with each other.
After chatting for a few words, Major Major Wang Jiasan led the topic to Jiang Zhao: "Several, this is the newcomer who has joined the group!" Didn't you guys still guess the age of Cicada Wind a while ago? Now I'm here to see if I'm right. ”。
"Oh, Brother Cicada Wind is so young. I thought Cicada Feng was an old Taoist! Hahahaha~~~" A young man quipped.
"I guessed it!" One of them said with some smugness.
"By the way, Brother Cicada Wind, how many paragraphs have you had?" One asked.
The concept of rank has not been around since ancient times.
Through the information he had seen in the group these days, Jiang Zhao learned that in most of ancient times, the hierarchy of warriors was not clear.
Most schools and lineages are divided into levels according to their own standards.
For example, the Wudang faction will distinguish the strength of the disciples according to the number of layers of its own "Wudang Yang Qigong", and most of the sects such as Wuliangshan are also divided in this way.
This kind of division cannot be used to judge a person's specific strength.
After all, there are high and low levels of martial arts, and there are good and bad actual performances.
Therefore, in the 5159 plan in the eighties, the mainstream sects of the country were convened with national power to uniformly measure and formulate many standards for martial artists.
At that time, the Chinese Martial Arts Association divided the strength of martial artists from low to high into levels one to nine.
Around 2,000 years ago, it was changed to a rank.
The evaluation method has also changed from only focusing on internal force to considering comprehensive strength.
But generally.
The strength of the 1~3 stage is roughly the sequence of junior warriors.
The 3~6 stage is the intermediate martial artist sequence.
The 6~9 paragraphs are listed as the sequence of high-level martial artists in the rivers and lakes.
And at the top of all the martial artists is the 'innate master' who is classified in the range of 'top martial artists'. Jiang Zhao asked in the group, but no one seemed to have seen a living innate master.
It's just that some people who have nothing to do with the party to debate the combat effectiveness of some literature and legendary innate masters.
Because he hadn't tested it, and he didn't have a very good reference object, Jiang Zhao couldn't answer the other party's question at this time - he didn't know what rank his strength was.
But he knew that if he judged the force value of the Luding Ji world, he should be regarded as a top master.
It's just that in the evaluation of force in the real world, Jiang Zhao can't say what position he is in, but he understands that he is definitely higher than ordinary second- and third-stage masters.
The above ones, because they have not been contacted, do not dare to make assertions.
"About three paragraphs." Jiang Zhao said after discounting the estimate.
"Okay! Brother Cicada Wind, you have advanced to the third level at a young age, and I am afraid that it will not be many years before you will achieve martial arts! Leap into the ranks of intermediate masters! Won't it be a sudden rush to soar when the time comes?! It's a mainstay wherever you go?! The man who spoke immediately showed a surprised expression after hearing Jiang Zhao's answer.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhao smiled bitterly in his heart: I didn't expect that I would try to avoid being in the limelight, but I still accidentally made a "limelight".
