"What are martial arts points?" Xiao Tian asked curiously.

This was the first time he had heard of martial arts points in his second life. He also believed that there were no such thing as martial arts points in his previous life.

There was only inner energy and Ki in his previous life. That was why he still did not get her words.

"Before I explain what martial arts points are. I will explain what a martial artist is first." Lan Ruoxi began to explain it.

Martial artists were people who surpassed normal humans.

They were faster and stronger than ordinary people. Not only that but their reflexes and senses were also much better.

And there was one important thing that differentiated between ordinary and expert martial artists.

Martial arts points!

The shape of the martial arts points was round like a ball and located in the martial artist's body.

However, martial arts points would only be formed after the martial artist managed to break through to the low-level master stage.

There were five martial arts points in total; one on each leg, one on each arm and one on the head.

Two martial arts points on the legs represented speed, and the two martial arts points on the arms represented strength.

As for the martial arts point located on the head, it represented for the reflexes. Martial arts points were vital to martial artists because it could decide their future.

And the main use of martial arts points was as a vessel to store the energy of the heaven and the earth.

"As a vessel to store the energy of heaven and earth?" Xiao Tian understood a little about martial arts points now.

"Yes," Lan Ruoxi answered instantly. "But only the candidates to become the Ruler can use martial arts points."

Xiao Tian was startled.

'What? Only the candidates to be the Ruler can use martial arts points? Isn't this unfair for ordinary martial artists?'

He found it hard to believe what he was hearing.

First, Xiao Tian did not know that they could store the energy of heaven and earth within their bodies.

And now, Lan Ruoxi said only the candidates to be the Ruler could use martial arts points.

Lan Ruoxi began explaining again. "The martial arts points formed within the body are still in a closed state. If we want to use it, we have to open it first, or we won't be able to use it later."

"How to open it?" Xiao Tian asked curiously.

"Using the energy of heaven and earth." Lan Ruoxi gave an honest answer. "And the martial arts points must be opened before breaking through to the grandmaster stage, or else, it will be closed forever."

Xiao Tian touched his chin.

'We have to open martial arts points before breaking through to the grandmaster stage, and we need the energy of heaven and earth to open it. Wait!'

He suddenly remembered something.

'In order to use the energy of heaven and earth, we have to gain insight about battle instinct first or else we won't be able to use it.'

Xiao Tian finally understood why Lan Ruoxi said only the candidates to be the Ruler could use martial arts points.

It was because they already could use the energy of heaven and earth when they were still at the master stage.

As for ordinary martial artists, they could only use it after they broke through to the grandmaster stage.

However, everything was already too late for them at this point because they could not open martial arts points after breaking through to the grandmaster stage.

'I see. So this is the reason why only the candidates to be the Ruler can use martial arts point.'

Xiao Tian nodded his head.

Lan Ruoxi was startled after seeing his expression.

'It seems like he understands everything. Explaining to smart people is much easier.'

Previously, she thought she needed to explain it again, but she was wrong.

"So this is the reason why the candidates to be the Ruler are said as people who are loved by heaven." Xiao Tian uttered.

"That's right." Lan Ruoxi replied.

Lan Ruoxi also said that ordinary martial artists would not be able to use the energy of heaven and earth to the fullest.

The reason was only one thing.

They failed to open the martial arts points!

Because they failed to open the martial arts points, they would not be able to store the energy of heaven and earth within their bodies.

When ordinary martial artists were in battle instinct mode, the energy of heaven and earth could not enter the martial arts points and was only stored in their bodies for a few seconds.

After they were no longer in the battle instinct mode, the energy of heaven and earth would disappear from their bodies immediately.

Unlike ordinary martial artists, the candidates to be the Ruler would store the energy of heaven and earth in their martial arts points every day, even if they were not in the battle instinct mode.

However, how much they could store the energy of heaven and earth depended on how strong their bodies were and how deep their understanding of the energy of heaven and earth was.

"Because ordinary martial artists can't use martial arts points, they can't use the energy of heaven and earth to the fullest." Lan Ruoxi uttered, "Ordinary martial artists at the low-level grandmaster stage can only use up to 15% of the energy of heaven and earth."

She then continued, "As for the mid-level grandmaster stage, they can use it up to 40%. For the high-level grandmaster stage, they can only use it up to 75%. It all depends on how strong their bodies are and how deep their understanding of the energy of heaven and earth is."

However, it was a different story for the candidates to be the Ruler.

If an ordinary martial artist at the low-level grandmaster stage could only use up to 15% of the energy of heaven and earth, the candidate to be the Ruler could use it up to 30%.

After the candidates to be the Ruler were not in the battle instinct mode, their bodies would use the heaven and earth energy stored in their martial arts points.

This was the reason why Xiao Tian felt the energy of heaven and earth in his body, or why he felt his body was filled with power because it was the power from the energy of heaven and earth.

For the candidates to be the Ruler at the mid-level grandmaster stage, they could use up to 60%, and for the high-level grandmaster stage, they could use it to the fullest.

In order words, they could use the energy of heaven and earth up to 100%. This stage was critical for the candidates to be the Ruler because, in this stage, the Ruler would be born.

The Ruler was someone who filled all of their martial arts points with the energy of heaven and earth.

At this stage, they would be in the battle instinct mode twenty-four hours per day and seven days per week.

Of course, there would be no side effects because the Ruler's body had already gotten used to the energy of heaven and earth.

And mystically speaking, the candidates to be the Ruler would no longer be able to add more energy of heaven and earth in their martial arts point once a Ruler was born.

This was the reason why there was only one Ruler in each generation. People said it was a rule set from heaven.

Until now, this rule was still a mystery, and no one could solve it. Of course, the energy of heaven and earth stored in the martial arts points would remain forever.

This was the reason why the candidates to be the Rules would remain at the top.

Sure, they would not be able to become the Ruler, but they would be at the top of the martial artist hierarchy because it was their destiny to be at the top.

"So, in other words, I have opened up my martial arts points, and there is already energy of heaven and earth in my martial arts points?" Xiao Tian uttered.

"Yes." Lan Ruoxi replied. "Because you are not a martial artist at the mid-level grandmaster stage, you can only use the energy of heaven and earth up to 30%. This is the limit of your body for now."

"Lady Lan, how much energy of heaven and earth energy can you use now?" Xiao Tian asked this because he wanted to know how strong she was.
