41: Martial Essence!

Item!

Not only were Li Qing's eyes shining, but Ye Su was also eager to try.

The power related to Professionals was understandable.

Only items like this were truly Heaven-Defying.

Quiet Rain's Mind Control Water set an example for Ye Su, making him realize that such transcendent things existed in this world.

And at this moment.

During this mycelium incident, he actually had the chance to obtain an item.

It was simply a huge profit.

Li Qing saw the desire in Ye Su's eyes.

He didn't keep him in suspense, taking out a tablet and quickly scrolling down through the large number of exchangeable items.

Finally, he reached the bottom;

"Look, it's this: martial marrow!"

[martial marrow!]

[Effect: Can completely imprint another person's Martial Arts once.]

As soon as Ye Su saw the introduction, he immediately thought of Cui Hu's Tai Shou Scripture.

However, he reacted even faster.

"Director Li, Cui Hu is an official personnel, right?"

Ye Su asked.

Li Qing nodded.

"Then, has the secret of Core Martial Art been made public?"

Core Cultivation Technique.

Currently, Ye Su had only seen two: his own Tai Xuan Scripture, and Cui Hu's Tai Shou Scripture.

Cui Hu was an official, and after this incident, he was highly likely to report the special circumstances surrounding Core Martial Arts.

"Your mind works fast, indeed..."

Li Qing said;

"During the mycelium incident, Cui Hu and you were almost the only ones who could resist the illusion relying on yourselves."

"This is something achievable by oneself, excluding support classes."

"Furthermore, your combat strength and Cui Hu's far surpass ordinary people. It's only normal that Core Martial Arts would be uncovered."

"Unfortunately, Core Martial Art is something that, whether it's Cui Hu or you, can only be performed instinctively and cannot be written down word for word—"

Ye Su scratched his head.

That was true.

The Tai Xuan Scripture operated almost automatically in the Martial Arts Slot. If he truly had to write it out to form a scroll—Ye Su clearly couldn't do it.

In other words, the officials knew that Cui Hu and Ye Su possessed special Core Martial Arts, but they couldn't truly record them.

However.

In the Exchange Treasury, there was an item that could achieve this!

"Don't blame Cui Hu. He's an official, so the reported information was very detailed," Li Qing said;

"His Core Cultivation Technique is different from yours, but they feel like they originate from the same source."

'"Therefore, I feel that if you learn his Core Martial Art, it will definitely result in an effect where 1+1 is greater than 2."

"That makes sense. Let's lock it in."

Ye Su said.

It would be a lie to say Ye Su wasn't envious of Cui Hu's Tai Shou Scripture.

Core Martial Arts truly bring about unique benefits. Just like his Tai Xuan Scripture, Ye Su was certain that his Bullet Time was a result of the Tai Xuan Scripture.

This was a Divine Ability brought forth by the manifestation of the Core Martial Art.

He believed Cui Hu's Tai Shou Scripture could also derive special abilities.

Hearing Ye Su's words, Li Qing immediately locked in the reward, saying while doing so;

"Don't worry about Cui Hu. This is an official reward, and as an official personnel, he will cooperate, as long as—Huh?"

Suddenly, Li Qing let out a surprised sound.

He realized that this reward couldn't be locked in?

"What's going on? I've already communicated with Imperial Capital. Why can't we exchange it?"

"Ye Su, wait a moment. I'll make a call and ask."

Li Qing said.

Among the Exchange List, only this item caught Li Qing's attention, and it was currently the most valuable to Ye Su.

Spirit Medicine was just for increasing stats; he could Cultivate on his own.

That Divine Weapon wasn't a true Divine Weapon; it had flaws.

There was even less need to open light orbs treasure chest blind boxes, as it seemed difficult to obtain truly Heaven-Defying objects from the first rain.

Therefore, this item was the most valuable!

He had clearly communicated with Imperial Capital before Ye Su even returned, so why was it failing at the last minute?

Soon.

Li Qing dialed the number for Imperial Capital.

Then a fierce argument erupted.

The argument didn't last long, but Li Qing returned with a somewhat grim expression.

"Ye Su, this item... it's a bit difficult," Li Qing said.

"How so?"

Ye Su narrowed his eyes.

During the mycelium incident, he and Cui Hu shone brightly, and anyone paying attention might have learned about the Core Martial Arts.

Could it be that someone wanted to conjure up a powerhouse like Cui Hu out of thin air?

"Currently, three factions are eyeing this item," Li Qing said;

"The one with real competitive power is Cui Hu!"

Hearing this, Ye Su was speechless.

The two people who had performed great merits were precisely the mutual targets for acquiring the Core Martial Arts.

Honestly, no matter how precious this item was, there was almost no one who could compete with these two.

"The Imperial Capital Research Institute is fully supporting Cui Hu to get this item," Li Qing said;

"And I am fully supporting you."

"Both of you made great contributions in this incident, making it very difficult for the higher-ups."

It was indeed tricky.

If they gave it to Cui Hu, wouldn't the official reward system collapse?

If they gave it to Ye Su, wouldn't the Professionals cultivated by the officials feel disheartened?

"So?"

"So Imperial Capital has a plan," Li Qing said;

"Have a fight!"

What a straightforward solution.

"Moreover, this competition won't just involve the two of you, but you two will be in the final round."

Ye Su's mind always worked quickly.

He quickly grasped the crucial point;

"Imperial Capital wants to hold a Martial Forest Assembly?"

Li Qing was momentarily stunned, then gave a wry smile;

"You certainly know how to phrase things. That's basically it."

"The others are basically just running alongside. The prize will ultimately fall to one of you two."

"However, there's something I want to tell you, don't tell anyone else: this martial marrow item will not count as the reward for your great merit. Your great merit reward will be retained, and I will strive to secure a reward for you that you will definitely be tempted by."

Ye Su first nodded. This great merit was mostly an unexpected bonus, and at the current stage, the officials didn't have many good things on hand.

The Core Cultivation Technique and Class he possessed were already top-tier.

However, regarding the regulations, he was still a bit confused.

"Then why are so many other people participating?"

But Li Qing didn't explain.

Instead, he looked at Ye Su with a smile.

Ye Su's expression shifted, and he understood immediately.

"So, you're selling tickets, right!"

"Cough, cough... cough, cough... Selling tickets? We are providing a platform for Professionals nationwide to exchange pointers," Li Qing said;

"After all, global Professionalism has just begun. We are building a platform to give you a circle where you can get to know each other."

Good, good, good.

The officials really know how to play the game!

This kind of platform and the reward they put up.

The ticket price must be very high.

In fact, Ye Su didn't even believe the tickets were sold for money; they were probably sold for resources, such as light orbs treasure chests, or Spirit Medicine!

And that was indeed the case.

The materials hoarded by the private Clubs were considerable.

The officials wanted to take this opportunity to recoup a wave of resources.

As for the Clubs—organizations operating on the gray edge—the officials still needed to observe further before deciding whether to ban them.

"Don't worry, no matter the final outcome, I guarantee you, Ye Su, will profit," Li Qing said.

Li Qing agreed to the suggestion from Imperial Capital.

In that case, Li Qing would naturally strive for more resources for Ye Su.

If you were to ask why Li Qing helped Ye Su this way.

It was simple.

Foundation.

Scientific research needs to be implemented, and that requires support.

Ye Su was currently just an ordinary person, but who could guarantee that he would remain one forever?
