"For example, among the real martial arts families, there are only two families who are well-acknowledged as the top families, which are the Chung family and the Yuwen family. As for the middle ranked families, there are seven to eight families classified under this level, including the Song family. The rest belong to the low rank of the real martial arts family."

"However, those low-ranked families should not be underestimated. Their combat skills are on par with the four Heaven Level clans and there are at least two to three Half-Lord Level experts in their families. Some even have four or five of them. You shouldn't belittle them."

"For the middle-ranked families, such as the Song family, they have around twenty HalfLord Level experts in their family."

"As for the Yuwen family and the Chung family on the top rank, no one really knows the exact number of Half-Lord Level experts they have. There are rumors saying that they even have Lord Level masters within their families."

"However, I am a little skeptical about this. After all, once one reaches the Lord Level, he will be considered as a top-notch master, even in the inner island."

Fade listened attentively and took note of these key information.

Jaguar paused before continuing, "After all, the outer island is just the outer island. The real deal of Prohibition Island is the inner island."

"The forces in the inner island do not exist in the form of families, but in the form of clans. The nineteen major forces are called the Three Palaces and the Sixteen Inner Halls."

"Among the Three Palaces are Skytop Palace, the Ground Evil Palace and the Human Spirit Palace. As for the Sixteen Inner Halls, there are Green Wood Hall, Thunder Hall, Beauties Hall..."

"In terms of their strengths, the Three Palaces are above the Sixteen Inner Halls. The masters of the Three Palaces are said to be the ones who are in charge of Prohibition Island."

"However, there aren't many people in the Three Palaces and they have strict rules. Under normal circumstances, we can't see them at all, let alone join them."

"After entering Prohibition Island, you will mainly have contact with the people from the Sixteen Inner Halls."

"Each of the Sixteen Inner Halls is several times more powerful than the top-notch families located on the outer island. They are extremely powerful. Every chief of each Hall is rumored to be at the Lord Level. There are also countless Half-Lord Level experts as well."

Upon hearing this, Fade could not help but be curious and he asked, "If they are really that strong, why do they keep themselves in hiding?"

"With their strength, they could even rule the world if they come to the secular world!" Jaguar heaved a long sigh and explained, "When I first entered the inner island of Prohibition Island, I also asked the same question."

"However, they didn't give me an answer. It was only later when I came into contact with the chief of Green Wood Hall that I vaguely learned some new information."

"I suspect that there might be a special restriction formation around the inner island, which restricts the ins and outs of their people, so they can't really step foot into the secular world."

"This is also one of the main reasons why they recruited outsiders to help them with their work. Nonetheless, I'm not quite sure of the in-depth details of the restriction."

After hearing this, Fade finally got a clearer picture, "This explains the initial formation of the real martial arts family."

"Exactly!" Jaguar nodded and added, "It's precisely because the people in the inner island need help, so the people from the outer island are allowed to enter Prohibition Island.

The inner islanders also take this as an opportunity to seek out people with potential." "If one happens to perform well on the inner island and is chosen by the members of the Sixteen Inner Halls, he can become one of their members."

"In that way, his status and identity will be raised to a higher level."

"Even the top members from the real martial arts family yearn for such an opportunity."

"That's why I recommended you to the Sixteen Inner Hall some time ago. It's a pity that they have such strict measures and didn't agree."

"With that said, the chief of the Green Wood Hall still thinks highly of you. If you perform well this time, it is very likely that you will be selected by him. Therefore, when the time comes, you should perform well,' Jaguar encouraged him.

Fade nodded and said, "I will."

Then, he asked again, "General Xu, what are we going to do after we enter the inner island? Or, should I say, what kind of tests will they put us through?"

Jaguar sighed softly. He narrowed

his eyes and looked into the

distance. As he recalled his

memories, he replied, "It may be different for each batch. In general, you're required to go through some specific assessments set up by the Sixteen Inner Halls."

"If you perform well, the Sixteen Inner Halls will take you in."

"Of course, the test itself is a good opportunity for a martial arts practitioner to specially train himself."

"For instance, some tests specifically test a martial artist's physique. Some are to test the person's positive energy power and control. There are even tests for mental power and martial essence." "Every single test is a form of training. Even if you are not selected in the end, you will gain a lot from these and your strength will be improved."

"Moreover, the spiritual energy on

the inner island is twenty times richer than the outside world. As long as you step foot onto the island, your cultivation will speed up even if you don't do anything. That's why everyone is eager to enter Prohibition Island."

"I see!" Fade nodded as he listened.

Later on, he continued to ask for more details and Jaguar answered his questions correspondingly.

Anyhow, Jaguar had only entered Prohibition Island once, not to mention that it was twenty or thirty years ago. Thus, he didn't know much about the details either. Therefore, Fade could only explore it himself when he entered Prohibition Island.

In the end, he thanked Jaguar and was ready to get up and bid him goodbye. Just as he was about to leave, Jaguar thought of something. "Wait a minute!" "General Xu, is there anything else?" Fade turned around and looked at him.

Jaguar paused for a moment and took out a round stone. He handed it to Fade and said, "Take this with you. If you encounter any tricky

problems, go to Green Wood Hallet

and look for Camelia Moo." "Green Wood Hall's Camelia Moo." Fade took the stone and paused as a thought flashed across his mind. He looked at Jaguar and teased, "General Xu, who is this Camelia

from Green Wood Hall? Did you and

her..."

"Stop the nonsense. There's nothing between us." Jaguar glared at him and said, "If you don't want it, then give it back to me."

"Fine, fine, I won't ask, I won't ask!" Fade hurriedly put the stone away and smirked at Jaguar. Then, he waved his hand and said, "General Xu, thank you very much. I'm leaving." "Go away, you brat!" Jaguar shouted jokingly.
