"Brother Fang Chen, let me introduce you," Feng Qingyang said as he began the introductions.
He pointed to a middle-aged man who resembled a lumberjack and said, "This is Brother Lumberjack."
"Lumberjack?" Fang Chen was taken aback. Although the middle-aged man dressed like a lumberjack, his name couldn't possibly be Lumberjack.
Seemingly noticing Fang Chen's confusion, the man named Lumberjack smiled and shook his head, saying, "A name is just a code. After so many years, I've long forgotten what I was called. Now, you can just call me Lumberjack like everyone else."
"Brother Lumberjack," Fang Chen nodded.
"These two are the Wind and Thunder Brothers," Feng Qingyang pointed to two middle-aged men who looked remarkably similar.
Upon hearing this, Fang Chen's heart stirred with realization, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face: "Could these two really be biological brothers?"
Seeing the Wind and Thunder Brothers nodding with light smiles, Fang Chen couldn't help but marvel.
Having biological brothers is not particularly rare, especially considering the vast population of the Spirit Realm Continent; in any given era, there are bound to be many biological brothers. However, in the martial arts world, where biological brothers are both powerful warriors, that becomes quite rare.
The path of martial arts is fraught with challenges; talent, comprehension, luck, and resources are all essential. You may have the talent to step into martial arts, but it doesn't guarantee that your brother can do the same. Moreover, even if one does enter the martial arts realm, what then?
Qi Boundary, Alchemy Realm, Primordial Embryo Realm, Heavenly Realm, Daoist Master Realm, and finally Nirvana Realm.
Each of these realms acts as a threshold before people. By the time one reaches the last few realms, they are no longer simple thresholds but can be considered towering mountains.
Among tens of millions of people, a strong individual in Nirvana Realm might only appear once; sometimes in an entire era, there may only be one or two peerless beings in Nirvana Realm. The fact that the Wind and Thunder Brothers, being biological siblings, both became peerless existences in Nirvana Realm is indeed an extraordinary anomaly. Even Fang Chen couldn't help but be amazed.
Moreover, what caught Fang Chen's attention about the Wind and Thunder Brothers was the deep connection they shared as twins who had spent a long time together. There was undoubtedly a legendary bond between them. Even from their names, Fang Chen could sense some clues.
One was skilled in the power of wind, while the other excelled in the power of thunder. Wind and thunder, these two powerful forces complemented each other, especially since the two wielders were twins with a deep connection. How much power could this ultimately amplify? Even Fang Chen did not dare to underestimate it.
As for the last two individuals who seemed rather peculiar to Fang Chen, before Feng Qingyang could introduce them, they introduced themselves.
"My name is Shaogang." The youth with red lips and white teeth looked strikingly handsome, almost unreal. He spoke little, and an aura of coldness surrounded him, as if he were an iceberg. However, Fang Chen could sense that this person named Shaogang was not intentionally targeting him; it was simply his nature.
"Just call me Fire Cloud Boy, Brother Fang Chen," a voice that sounded somewhat childish suddenly chimed in. Next to Shaogang stood a boy dressed in a red bellyband.
"Cough cough." Although Fang Chen knew that this boy in the red bellyband was a powerful figure from the Nirvana Realm and likely much older than him, being addressed as "Brother Fang Chen" in such a childish tone felt quite strange.
"Hey, being cold is still better than you, who keeps getting younger," Shaogang unexpectedly retorted, breaking his usual silence to counter the boy.
"You icy block, it's been a while since I dealt with you; looks like you're itching for it," the boy in the red bellyband replied with some annoyance.
"Who knows who will deal with whom? Why don't you give it a try?" A strong fighting spirit flashed in Shaogang's eyes as he said coldly.
"Alright, in front of Brother Fang Chen, you two should stop bickering." Seeing that these two seemed ready to clash, Lumberjack suddenly spoke up calmly.
His gaze swept over Shaogang and Fire Cloud Boy before landing on Fang Chen. Lumberjack shook his head helplessly and said, "I apologize for letting Brother Fang Chen witness this; these two have been like this for days."
After a pause, he continued, "The reason their bodies have become like this is due to the cultivation methods they practice."
Hearing this, Fang Chen nodded slightly, finally understanding.
For powerful warriors, changing their appearance or even their physique is an easy task, especially for those in the Nirvana Realm. However, generally speaking, warriors who reach such a level no longer place much importance on their physical form. Therefore, most do not deliberately alter it. This is why Fang Chen was so surprised when he saw Shaogang and Fire Cloud Boy. But now, after listening to Lumberjack's words, he felt somewhat relieved.
After explaining the situation regarding Shaogang and Fire Cloud Boy, Lumberjack looked at Fang Chen with bright eyes and asked, "Brother Fang Chen, your training time must not be long, right?"
For warriors in the Nirvana Realm, the concept of time has almost lost its significance. Even though each person's talent and opportunities differ, the time taken to break through to the Nirvana Realm varies greatly—ranging from a few centuries to thousands of years. However, reaching the Nirvana Realm is considered the pinnacle of martial arts for nearly everyone. Thus, at this point, it is not particularly meaningful to dwell on how long it took.
Because of this, when Lumberjack's words were spoken, Shaogang and the others felt a slight stir in their hearts. They understood that if Fang Chen's time to reach the Nirvana Realm was only slightly shorter than that of an average person, Lumberjack would not have mentioned it. Since he did say it, it indicated that Fang Chen must have reached the Nirvana Realm in an extremely short time.
Could it be less than a century?!
As everyone speculated, they turned their attention back to Fang Chen.
As a warrior in the Nirvana Realm, one can easily discern a person's true age. Upon looking closely at Fang Chen, they were immediately stunned.
Not to mention a century; Fang Chen was actually under thirty years old—merely a young man in his mid-twenties. They had originally thought that Fang Chen looked exceptionally young due to deliberate alterations. Now they realized that he was simply an authentic young man.
