Chapter 188: Departure

“The secrets behind it? Even you sensed the abnormality of this Global Martial Arts Competition? Looks like you are not too stupid.”

Longbetham had always flaunted its superior intelligence. Lin Feng could only shake his head. It was meaningless to talk about intelligence with a mechanical life form. They had lived among all kinds of data and information since they were young. When it came to grasping data and information, it was very difficult for any human to surpass a mechanical life form.

“This Global Martial Arts Competition is jointly promoted by the five major factions. According to the clues, they probably want to push your society to enter the martial arts era!”

“The martial arts era? With martial arts as the focus and technology as the supplement?”

Lin Feng was a little stunned, because this kind of debate had been going on for a long time in the past, but never came to a definitive conclusion. Each side had its own supporters, and neither could convince the other.

In the past, the five major factions did not interfere directly and allowed the two parties to continue debating. They probably wanted society to develop step by step. Why were they in such a hurry to directly interfere with this kind of social change now?

“I also continued to investigate and found that the ultimate source was the Nine Sages. The Nine Sages of your human society are very interesting. They usually do not interfere with developmental matters of human society, but this occasion is an exception. There must be a reason behind it. However, there is very little information regarding this on the network, and I am unable to obtain any valid information.”

“However, this Global Martial Arts Competition is an opportunity. Perhaps the Nine Sages will reveal some information then.”

Lin Feng nodded. Since the Nine Sages were involved, there was no way to investigate further.

Originally, Lin Feng did not intend to participate in the Global Martial Arts Competition. However, since Longbetham said that cultivating the combat body required a massive amount of energy, he would have to participate.

Hence, Lin Feng logged into the Martial Domain Network again and found the academic faction panel. There was a direct link for registration on it.

“Sign up!”

Lin Feng filled in his detailed information. As for his cultivation level, he directly filled the Third Level of Metamorphic Realm.

It had actually only been half a year since he broke the genetic lock.

Breaking through from the First Level of Metamorphic Realm to the Third Level of the Metamorphic Realm in half a year was certainly unprecedented, if not definitely unsurpassed in the future. Although this might attract some attention, there was nothing Lin Feng could do.

If he relied on the standard of the First or Second level of Metamorphic Realm alone, no matter how strong the power of his physical body was, there was no way he could obtain first place in the Global Martial Arts Competition. To Lin Feng, his only goal was first place. If he did not obtain first place, it would be a failure.

Lin Feng looked at the time on it. There were still two or three months left, which was more than enough. During this period of time, he could also make arrangements for the South Mountain Base.

Everyone in the South Mountain Base had also heard that Lin Feng was going to participate in the Global Martial Arts Competition. They were naturally very supportive. Lin Feng’s performance at the South Mountain Base and the North Mountain Base had already convinced everyone in the South Mountain Base. They knew that Lin Feng already had the strength of a Third Level Metamorphic Realm expert.

Then, taking advantage of these two or three months, Lin Feng worked hard to master the fifth and sixth levels of Nonuple Body Tempering.

However, the sixth level was almost Lin Feng’s limit at the moment. Unless his physical body could continue to strengthen, the sixth level was his limit. It was impossible to cultivate to the ninth level.

Lin Feng was even dubious of what the Invincible Fist Sage was trying to achieve by creating this martial technique.

Even Lin Feng, who had such a powerful body, could only cultivate it to the sixth level. Could it be that he could only cultivate it to the ninth level after cultivating the combat body? But if he really cultivated the combat body, the Nonuple Body Tempering would probably be useless.

However, the sixth level was not bad either. This gave six Spiral Forces. If they erupted at full force, there would be 3,600 tons of strength. In addition to the original 600 tons of strength, there would be more than 4,000 tons of strength in total.

This was just the raw strength of the physical body. In fact, this was already quite powerful. It was unheard of for a physical body to unleash 4,000 tons of strength.

The eruption of a thousand strands of Astral Power was equivalent to 4,000 tons of strength, but how many Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artists would dare to unleash a thousand strands of Astral Power so lightly? Even if they did, how many times could they unleash it? At most, they could only unleash it nine times.

However, with Lin Feng’s physique, he could unleash the six Spiral Forces dozens of times without any problems.

Moreover, Lin Feng still had Astral Power. Even if he only displayed the limit of an ordinary Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artist, which was only 9,999 strands of Astral Power, these 9,999 strands of Astral Power could all be infused into the Void Bubble.

How strong could a Void Bubble that erupted like that be?

Moreover, Lin Feng had all kinds of incredible innate abilities.

Hence, Lin Feng was determined to get first place in the Global Martial Arts Competition this time.

Five days before the Global Martial Arts Competition, Lin Feng received a call request from Chief Commander Mo Lei of the North Mountain Base. Mo Lei had also signed up to participate in the Global Martial Arts Competition.

After all, such a grand event was held once every ten years. Mo Lei was already a Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artist, so he was naturally qualified to participate.

“Brother Lin Feng.” Mo Lei landed at the South Mountain Base in a small airship.

“Brother Mo Lei.”

“Brother Lin Feng, get on the airship. Let’s go to the Polar Academy together.”

“Then I won’t deny your generosity.”

Lin Feng did not stand on ceremony. In terms of speed, the airships from the North Mountain Base were faster.

The two of them boarded the airship. After bidding farewell to the people in the South Mountain Base, the airship set off and quickly left the South Mountain Base.

The airship was very stable, and the facilities inside were very luxurious.

Mo Lei and Lin Feng sat at the dining table. They even opened a bottle of wine. The sumptuous food on the table emitted an alluring fragrance.

Mo Lei smiled and said, “Come on, Brother Lin Feng. Let’s have a good drink today. I haven’t thanked you properly for saving the North Mountain Base with your men.”

“Brother Mo Lei, you’re too kind.”

It was a rare opportunity for Lin Feng to relax, so he started drinking with Mo Lei. The two of them chatted about all kinds of things, and their interests aligned. Gradually, they became closer.

“Brother Lin Feng, you’re the most talented martial artist I’ve ever seen. In half a year, you’ve advanced from the First Level of Metamorphic Realm to the Third Level of Metamorphic Realm. You’ll definitely shine in this Global Martial Arts Competition!”

“Thank you for your kind words, Brother Mo Lei.”

Lin Feng did not conceal his realm. After all, it would be made public sooner or later. However, Mo Lei was only a little surprised, and not too taken aback. After all, back at the North Mountain Base, the strength Lin Feng had displayed was already not inferior to a Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artist, and might even be stronger.

“Brother Lin Feng, martial artists like us are determined to advance without leaving any regrets within. Otherwise, how can we break the genetic lock? You have to seize the opportunity to go to the Polar Academy this time. Follow your heart. We must fight for those who are worth fighting for. With your strength and your current achievements, what’s there to be afraid of?”

Maurey gave a half-smile, implying something with his words.

Lin Feng did not know if he was really drunk, or if it’s because of the person in his heart, whom he could never let go. He actually told Mo Lei about such a thing. However, Mo Lei words made a ripple in Lin Feng’s heart, which could no longer be calmed.
