Permanent Martial Arts

Chapter 101 Martial Domain Network

Lin Feng was a little tipsy from drinking. Although his physique was powerful, that did not grant him the ability to resist alcohol. This was especially the case since this fine wine was specially brewed for those Metamorphic Realm martial artists. It naturally guaranteed that those Metamorphic Realm martial artists could get drunk.

Lin Feng had obtained the Hero of Humanity Medal and joined the academic faction as he had wished. His strange illness had finally recovered too. In this relaxed mood, he had a few more drinks than usual with the few inhuman experts. He was still drunk now, so he swayed and fell onto the bed. He did not notice the flashing red light on the communicator on the table at all.

Early the next morning, Lin Feng woke up refreshed and stretched. It’s been a long time since he had slept in. In the past, in order to break the genetic lock as soon as possible, he would wake up early and train regularly every day. How could he sleep in until this late?

He glanced at the clock on the wall and realized that it was already nine in the morning. He quickly got up. It wasn’t that there was something urgent today, but that he was in a rather urgent mood and wanted to browse the online shop.

Lin Feng quickly entered the virtual network. There was a link at the top of the forum of the Myriad Academy. Only martial artists who became inhuman experts and obtained recognition and authority could access it. Ordinary martial artists would not be able to access it at all. Lin Feng immediately clicked on the link. Instantly, a window appeared.

“Checking authority.”

“Authority approved. Welcome, Mr. Lin Feng!”

Lin Feng’s vision blurred. The scene in front of him had changed drastically.

This was a brand-new place. There was even a forum below, and also some simple explanations. This was a platform for all the inhuman experts in the world to interact, and it was not limited to any faction.

Not only that, the online shop panel was divided into six main boards. Apart from the boards of the five major factions, there was also a “free board”, where martial artists traded freely. There was a dazzling array of many strange items hanging on it, with the majority of them being some things from demons.

For example, the corpses of demons or things from the bodies of demons could all be sold, which amazed Lin Feng greatly.

Lin Feng found a message in his personal mailbox, so he immediately clicked it.

“Welcome to the Martial Domain Network. This is a paradise for communication among people who have made important contributions to humanity, including human martial artists, scientists, and soldiers. You can use merit points to purchase things in the online shop, or trade freely. Your identity authority cannot be transferred to others.”

This message was only a simple introduction to the Martial Domain Network. Apart from martial artists, there were other human elites here. It could be said that they were the true upper class of humanity.

The Martial Domain Network covered all kinds of things, including technology, martial arts, and so on. Transact and communication could also be conducted freely here. The only currency here was merit value. Also, it was extremely difficult to obtain merit value. The Nine Sages jointly created the Martial Domain Network and controlled the merit value strictly so that phenomena similar to inflation or deflation would not occur.

Thus, the value of merit value here was extremely high.

Lin Feng had never come into contact with this level before. This was clearly the upper echelons of human society. Apart from inhuman experts, anyone else who had the authority to enter could probably only be elite politician or expert scientific researchers. In any case, only the most outstanding and top-notch geniuses of various professions could enter the Martial Domain Network.

This could also be considered a way to integrate the resources of human society.

Moreover, Lin Feng also noticed that whether it was trading or speaking on the forum, it was all done under real names. There was no possibility of hiding one’s identity.

After getting a brief understanding of it, Lin Feng eagerly entered the shop. He naturally chose to enter the shop of the academic faction.

Swoosh.

The screen flashed before Lin Feng’s eyes. The academic faction’s shop was filled with all kinds of goods. Lin Feng selected martial arts, cultivation techniques, and the like.

Lin Feng had just broken the genetic lock, and his body had yet to undergo a complete metamorphosis. However, with his physique, condensing Astral Power in advance was not a problem. Hence, he needed a cultivation technique for cultivating Astral Power.

There were too many Astral Power cultivation techniques in the school’s shop. At a glance, there were almost a thousand cultivation techniques for cultivating Astral Power, but their prices were actually about the same.

The price of almost every cultivation technique was 50 merit value.

Fifty merit value was actually quite an expensive price. After all, Long Duo only received 10 merit value per year while guarding the Dragon Mountain Base. If it were an ordinary Metamorphic Realm martial artist, it might be even less.

This 50 merit value was not a small amount.

However, generally speaking, Metamorphic Realm martial artists who broke the genetic lock would receive some rewards regardless of which faction they joined. They would receive at least 50 merit value. This was basically everyone’s tacit agreement. After all, only 50 merit value could purchase a cultivation technique to cultivate Astral Power. Martial artists could not cultivate Astral Power without merit value. Otherwise, if they delayed the martial artists’ condensation of Astral Power, it would be a loss for humanity.

Lin Feng had a total of 1,000 merit value. This was a reward given to Lin Feng by the academic faction. Lin Feng even vaguely guessed that the Invincible Fist Sage might be the reason behind this.

Otherwise, how could he be rewarded with 1,000 merit value at once? Even though he was a Hero of Humanity, rewarding a few hundred would be enough, but he now had 1,000 merit value.

Without a doubt, the upper echelons of the academic faction took Lin Feng very seriously. They hoped that Lin Feng would not have to worry about merit value in the early stages, and could improve his strength as soon as possible. Lin Feng did not make a purchase immediately. After all, he had 1,000 merit value on him, and it was enough to buy anything. Hence, he naturally had to make a good choice. Cultivation of Astral Power was about building a foundation, and he had to ensure it was stable.

However, after Lin Feng studied these cultivation techniques carefully, he began to hesitate.

It turned out that there was no difference in power between cultivation techniques that cultivated Astral Power. This was because they all absorbed star power. Meanwhile, due to the Canopy looming over this world, the power of stars had actually been “filtered” before it descended and became relatively mild, allowing one to absorb it without worries.

All Astral Powers were about equally powerful, and the only difference was how many there were. However, this was also a fixed amount.

Metamorphic Realm martial artists condensed star power and transformed it into traces of Astral Power. According to the amount of Astral Power, there were actually three minor realms in the Metamorphic Realm.

At the first level of the Metamorphic Realm, one could condense a maximum of 99 strands of Astral Power in the body.

At the second level of the Metamorphic Realm, one could condense a maximum of 999 strands of Astral Power in the body.

At the third level of the Metamorphic Realm, one could condense a maximum of 9,999 strands of Astral Power in the body.

There was almost a tenfold difference in the amount of Astral Power in the body between every minor realm. As for why there were only 99 strands of Astral Power in the first level of the Metamorphic Realm, this might be the limit, the limit that no one could break.

Those cultivation techniques could only assist in cultivating Astral Power. At most, they could allow it to happen slightly faster, and could not even break through minor realms. Therefore, the cultivation techniques were basically all similar.

In that case, Lin Feng did not have much of a choice to make. He directly chose a cultivation technique called “Astral Swirl”. The price was 60 merit value. The introduction said that its speed of condensing Astral Power was slightly faster.

As for how much faster it was, Lin Feng did not know either. Although the price was slightly more expensive than ordinary Astral Power cultivation techniques, he did not mind spending just 10 more merit value. After all, Lin Feng could be considered truly wealthy in the Martial Domain Network now. With a “huge wealth” of 1,000 merit value, why would he care about the price?

Moreover, Lin Feng had the Hero of Humanity Medal. He could get a 20% discount when purchasing things in the shop. Hence, he only spent a mere 48 merit value to purchase the “Astral Swirl” cultivation technique.
