110: Exchange for martial arts skills

Just as he was about to return to his room, Chu Yuan brushed past a female student; she seemed somewhat nervous, keeping her head low as she hurried away.

Chu Yuan searched his memory for her name. Was it Lu something? That was not important. What mattered was that the Lu Family seemed to be among those who had instructed Zhao Mingren... Chu Yuan had also seen the list in Han Ting's hands and had memorized it all.

Those Martial Arts Families all had descendants participating in this Jianmu Project; however, if they were not in a rush to provoke him and court death, Chu Yuan was in no hurry to deal with them.

It was still early days, wasn't it? The iron fist of the Zhenwu Bureau had not yet come crashing down... He had more satisfying ways to deal with them...

The Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills displayed on the terminal were numerous; the catalog alone was as thick as an ordinary book. But that was normal, considering it was the accumulation of three hundred years of martial arts in Great Qin.

Moreover, a large portion of them were simply not of high enough quality, belonging to the early or Middle Stages of martial arts development, and were already outdated...

Chu Yuan skipped over the Cultivation Techniques and directly began checking the Martial Skills; fortunately, the Zhenwu Bureau had already categorized them and sorted them by value.

He did not know what the redemption catalog looked like for others, but in his, the first few pages were actually marked with military merit costs... After flipping through a few pages, the Martial Skills finally showed "Free Redemption."

If he didn't understand, he would ask. He directly sent a message to Instructor Xie Jun on his terminal. Since the students had already been added to a large group chat, and Instructor Xie Jun was also in it, he had his contact information...

"High-grade Martial Skills are not meant for you to choose; firstly, you won't be able to learn them in a short time; secondly, it is to prevent people who came specifically for these Martial Skills from deliberately choosing the most expensive ones to fleece the Zhenwu Bureau and waste resources... But your situation is special, and you have a lot of military merit, so I have specifically opened up the redemption permissions for you."

"You aren't specifically trying to scam me, are you?"

"...What are you saying? Who in the Zhenwu Bureau would dare to scam you?"

Chu Yuan silently looked at the prices marked behind those Martial Skills. "The 'Divine Kingdom of Light' in the mental category, redemption value of 150,000 military merit? Did they add an extra zero? Or two extra zeros?"

A single Martial Skill, worth seven Chenyang Cities? No matter how priceless it is, it shouldn't be calculated like this...

"Mental-type Martial Skills are relatively rare to begin with, and what's more... as long as a Martial Skill costs over ten thousand, it was basically created by a Ninth Realm personally! This price is very reasonable, alright? Besides, there is actually no need for you to redeem such a high-difficulty one right off the bat. Cultivating a Martial Skill of this level involves Laws. Even with the original copy to help you comprehend it, it is likely not something your current Realm can master."

"If you want to Cultivate a mental-type Martial Skill, I suggest you choose 'Void Immovability'. It was created by a powerhouse when they were in the Seventh Realm, so the threshold isn't that high; and it is free..."

Chu Yuan was speechless. "...Then why did you put it up there?"

"To broaden your horizons. Don't you want to work hard and Cultivate for it now?"

"..."

Chu Yuan didn't want to talk, so he closed the chat box and operated his terminal. "Redeem 'Divine Kingdom of Light'!" "Confirm!" "Redemption successful! Redeemer Chu Yuan. The original Martial Skill will be delivered to the Jianmu Project training base within one day. Please wait patiently."

What Instructor Xie Jun said might make a lot of sense, but Chu Yuan still chose to redeem this Martial Skill. First: He had the money! Second: He didn't believe he couldn't learn it. Since he had to learn, he would do it right the first time and learn the best one!

It took him over a week to master the basics of the 'Martial God Scroll', and the 'Jinghong' given by his teacher also took about a week... Even if the 'Divine Kingdom of Light' was difficult to Cultivate, if it was just to master the basics, if one week wasn't enough, wouldn't two weeks be? The Golden Core Stage was not for nothing; Chu Yuan's Comprehension Ability had improved significantly compared to his Foundation Establishment Stage...

"You actually redeemed it!?" The next day, Instructor Xie Jun handed a box to Chu Yuan with a complex expression. He suspected whether it was because his words yesterday had provoked Chu Yuan, causing him to make such an impulsive decision. For a moment, he felt a bit of self-reproach...

"Instructor, why is it you?" Chu Yuan was a bit surprised as he took the box; he hadn't expected Instructor Xie Jun to be the one delivering it...

"Do you think there are so many Seventh Realm powerhouses waiting to deliver Martial Skills to you?" Instructor Xie Jun said with annoyance, then sighed deeply. "Forget it, since you've redeemed it, you've redeemed it. Sooner or later you will be able to use it, so it's definitely not a loss..."

Chu Yuan didn't say anything about being able to master it. He asked curiously, "Instructor, there is one thing I don't understand. After the original copy is redeemed by me, what if someone else redeems it later?"

Instructor Xie Jun looked puzzled. "Then they redeem it."

"...There are more?"

"That's a silly question. Do you think a powerhouse creates a Martial Skill for only one person to learn?"

Chu Yuan was even more confused. "Then why is it called an 'original copy'?"

"It is handmade by the creator, infused with their own martial Dao Qi. Why wouldn't it be called an 'original copy'? You don't think 'original copy' means there is only one, do you?"

"...Isn't it?"

"...The Ninth Realm powerhouse who created this Martial Skill isn't dead yet. As long as they are willing, they can naturally create more 'original copies', it just consumes more energy. Even the Martial Artist practicing it, if they can master the Martial Skill, can also create an 'original copy' to pass on the Legacy. It's just that the cultivation effect will be slightly worse..."

Instructor Xie Jun patted Chu Yuan on the shoulder and said in a complex tone, "Now you know how special the 'Martial God Scroll' is, right? Because it is uncopyable... If one day you Cultivate the 'Martial God Scroll' to the extreme and can pass it on as a Legacy... that would also be a good thing."

Chu Yuan thought to himself, you probably won't live to see that day...

"Since it's not a unique copy, why is it sold so expensively?" Chu Yuan was still puzzled. "150,000 military merit... Even an Eighth Realm Martial Artist would find it painful to pay, right?"

"Do you think Ninth Realm powerhouses are very idle..."

"..."

"Moreover, things like military merit are useless to the Ninth Realm. They can already mobilize all the resources of Great Qin, but Great Qin's resources are of no use to them... On the contrary, they are always the ones providing resources to Great Qin."

It could be seen that Instructor Xie Jun had heartfelt respect for the Ninth Realm powerhouses of Great Qin; but Chu Yuan thought about it, and what he said didn't seem to have any problems...

Instructor Xie Jun seemed to have other things to do and did not chat with Chu Yuan any further. Chu Yuan sat cross-legged, opened the box, and inside were two magnificent crystals. The larger one was the original copy of the 'Divine Kingdom of Light'...
