The old man’s well was located quite far from his house. Xiao Tian believed the distance between the old man’s house and his well was about five hundred meters.
However, the road was flat, and there were no weeds around the road, so it was not difficult for them to reach the well.
“That’s my well.” the old man said as he pointed his right index finger at the well.
The well was surrounded by a wooden fence. The old man did this because he did not want wild animals to pollute his well.
“Close the fence before leaving so that no animals contaminate my well.” after saying that, the old man turned around and walked towards his backyard. “You need ten buckets to fill my bathtub.”
Xiao Tian immediately opened the fence and began filling the buckets with water.
‘Ten buckets? I have two buckets in my hands. Then doesn’t that mean I only need to go back and forth five times?’
Xiao Tian suddenly thought it was not a hard task.
‘I have to finish this fast so that I can help Crystal chop the firewood.’
Even though Crystal said she would chop the firewood, Xiao Tian still felt uncomfortable.
‘Yes. Let’s finish this fast so that we can eat immediately.’
Even though Xiao Tian needed to fill the bucket with water manually, he did not mind it as it was not a difficult thing.
—–
Crystal was currently chopping the firewood. Even though her legs were still injured, she could still do that.
Yes, she was cutting firewood in a sitting position!
‘I can do this.’
Crystal said in her head.
“Young lady, can you really chop the firewood?” the old man asked as he walked towards Crystal.
“You don’t need to worry, elder.” Crystal replied without looking at the old man. “Even though my legs are still injured, but my hands are fine.”
The old man then sat on the ground not far from Crystal. “Why don’t you let the young man cut the firewood later?”
“I have troubled him ever since we are in the forest, so at least I want to help him.” Like before, Crystal replied while chopping the firewood.
“By the way, how did you two end up in the forest?” the old man asked curiously.
“It was like this.” because it was not a secret, Crystal decided to tell the truth.
She said ten people suddenly stopped their car when they were on their way home.
But fifty-one martial artists at the mid-level master stage suddenly appeared after defeating these ten people.
They decided to run to the forest because there was no house in that place.
“Hoh? You two managed to run away from fifty-one martial artists at the mid-level master stage?!” the old man said in surprise.
The old man suspected that Xiao Tian and Crystal were martial artists when they met for the first time.
However, he believed that Crystal and Xiao Tian were not martial artists at the grandmaster stage because they were so young.
At most, Xiao Tian and Crystal were martial artists at the high-level master stage.
This was the reason why he was startled when Crystal said they managed to escape from fifty-one martial artists at the mid-level master stage.
Normally, it would be impossible for them to escape from fifty-one martial artists at the mid-level master stage.
Sure, he could believe it if it was a one on one fight, but Crystal said their enemies attacked them at the same time.
The difference between the mid-level master stage and the high-level master stage was only one level, so there should not be a significant gap in power.
However, it was different if it was fifty-one against two.
“Yes.” Crystal nodded her head. “And we managed to escape from them because of Xiao Tian.”
“Xiao Tian? Do you mean that young man?” the old man inquired.
“Yes.” Crystal replied as she nodded her head, “His name is Xiao Tian.”
“Then doesn’t this mean that he is an amazing martial artist?” the old man knew it was hard to fight fifty-one martial artists at the same time.
Of course, it was something not impossible to do, especially for the candidates to be the Ruler.
“Yes. Xiao Tian is an amazing martial artist. He is genius in everything, including martial arts.” Xiao Tian was an amazing young man in Crystal’s eyes.
First, he could become a successful person at such a young age and last, he could become a martial artist at the high-level master stage in just two years.
Only two years!
This was something that had never happened in the history of martial artists.
If everyone learned about this, China would be in an uproar. No, not only China but the whole world would be in an uproar because this was something that was almost impossible to achieve.
She even did not believe it when Xiao Tian told her everything in the past. But now, she believed everything.
Previously, they were at the same level, martial artists at the mid-level master stage.
But now, they were no longer at the same level because Xiao Tian had broken through to the high-level master stage.
She had been training martial arts so hard so that she could break through to the high-level master stage, but her efforts were in vain.
Xiao Tian, who often spent time with his women and worked at his company, could break through to the high-level master stage easily.
Sometimes, she even stated that God was unfair because Xiao Tian could achieve everything with just a little effort.
However, when she remembered that Xiao Tian was one of the candidates to be the Ruler, she knew that he was an extraordinary martial artist.
Xiao Tian was a martial artist who was loved by heaven, so it was normal if he could break through to the next level easily.
Xiao Tian was her important friend, so she had to practice martial arts harder if she wanted to stand by his side.
This was one of the reasons why Crystal practiced martial arts hard. First, she wanted to stand by her friend’s side and help him.
And last, Yu Shi wanted her to be a powerful martial artist so that no one could bully them later.
“Genius martial artist? What is his level now?” the old man did not expect Crystal to keep praising Xiao Tian.
“He is a martial artist at the high-level master stage. However, he achieved this in just two years.” Crystal slipped her tongue.
‘Ah! I slipped my tongue!’
She realized what she had just said.
If anyone knew that Xiao Tian could become a martial artist at the high-level master stage in just two years, they would know that he was a candidate to be the Ruler because they were the only ones who could achieve impossible things in the martial arts world.
Xiao Tian did not have a powerful background or supporter, so it was dangerous if someone learned that he was a candidate to be the Ruler because there was a possibility that many martial artists would try to kill him later.
“What? Only two years?” the old man said in surprise.
He found it hard to believe what he was hearing. He had never heard something like this in his life before.
“Young lady, is he a candidate to be the Ruler?” the old man inquired.
