15: field!!

On his way back, Lin Chen had already contacted Chu Liang.

Upon learning that Lin Chen was still a high school student, Chu Liang was incomparably shocked.

He had already reached the Martial Artist Realm before even entering a Martial Arts University.

Only those great Families could pile up enough resources to create such a result!

Knock, knock!

Lin Chen opened the door.

He saw Chu Liang, wearing his federal uniform, standing outside the door with a smile on his face.

"Young man, we meet again."

"I really didn't expect that you are still a high school student."

Chu Liang couldn't help but take Lin Chen seriously.

Someone like this, a talent who had the chance to get into the two great prestigious universities.

Would at least be able to reach the Martial Master Realm upon graduation!

Lin Chen politely invited Chu Liang into the living room.

Then, he brought out all the Materials, including those from the Tier 2 exotic beast.

Hiss~

"Although Yang Tianba told me in advance, it is still shocking to see it with my own eyes."

Looking at the pile of exotic beast Materials on the floor, Chu Liang's face was filled with shock.

"Tier 2 exotic beast Materials!"

Seeing the physical Materials of the Tier 2 exotic beast, Chu Liang exclaimed.

"Did you hunt this as well?"

"I found this," Lin Chen said with a smile.

Phew~

Chu Liang let out a breath.

If a Martial Artist Early Stage could hunt a Tier 2 exotic beast, that would be too much of a Prodigy.

Such Geniuses who can fight across major Realms are all key targets for the Federation's cultivation~

"I will purchase all these Materials at the highest market price, for a total of 750 million federal currency. What do you think?"

Lin Chen had calculated it before.

It was about that price, much higher than what he had calculated himself.

So he smiled and said:

"No problem, that price works."

With a wave of his hand, Chu Liang put away all the exotic beast Materials and immediately transferred the money to Lin Chen.

Before leaving, Chu Liang said with a serious expression:

"You are very talented and are destined to have a boundless future."

"But before you have fully grown, you must remember."

"You must learn to hide yourself; this world is not as harmonious as you imagine."

Chu Liang seemed to be reminding Lin Chen with implied meaning.

After hearing this, Lin Chen also had a solemn expression on his face.

"Thank you, I will be careful."

Watching Chu Liang's departing back, Lin Chen was suddenly awakened.

This time, he had been a bit too flashy.

In this world, martial arts are supreme; the ways of his previous life were not applicable here.

Every world has a dark side.

He could not place his fate in the hands of others.

And the cults!

Yang Tianba also attached great importance to the cults.

"Have I been targeted by a cult?"

Lin Chen suddenly felt an urgent sense of pressure.

Suddenly, he looked at the System panel again.

"As long as I grow strong quickly before trouble comes knocking."

"I will have nothing to fear!"

"I have 750 million in funds now; I must convert it all into strength."

Lin Chen began to browse the Federal Transaction System.

Purchase!

250 aperture opening pills! Each is worth 3 million.

One set of E-grade combat suit, worth 2 million.

The E-grade combat suit can effectively weaken attacks from Tier 1 exotic beasts.

Lin Chen didn't need more expensive combat suits at the moment.

Each aperture opening pill can provide 100 energy points!

The delivery person was fast, arriving in half an hour.

Looking at the hundreds of aperture opening pills.

Lin Chen began to consume them frantically.

10 minutes later~

Lin Chen summoned the System panel.

[Name] Lin Chen

[Realm] Martial Artist Early Stage (2441 / 10000)

[Strength] 13670KG

[Cultivation Technique] Basic Fist Technique Perfection (100 / 100)

Slashing Wave Saber Art Perfection (1000 / 1000)

Purple Lightning Thunder Blade Perfection (10000 / 10000)

Misty Trace Steps Major Achievement (7138 / 10000)

[Mental Energy] 1946 Hz +

[Cultivation Technique Deduction Upgrade] Requires 10000 energy points / time

[energy points] 25500

[System Upgrade] Requires 500,000 energy points

More than 20,000 energy points!

It was his first time having so many energy points.

Lin Chen exclaimed in his heart.

He went to the underground training room.

First, upgrade his movement technique to Perfection.

Consume energy points! Upgrade!

[Cultivation Technique] Misty Trace Steps Perfection (10000 / 10000)

[energy points] 22638

Hum~

Lin Chen felt that he had a brand new understanding of the Misty Trace Steps.

He went outdoors.

Lin Chen sprinted forward.

Whoosh!

In an instant, Lin Chen crossed a hundred meters.

"This... my speed has at least reached 100 m/s."

Lin Chen was excited.

His speed was almost the same as that of the Martial Master Realm.

One had to know that experts in the Martial Master Realm have abundant True Qi and are capable of flight.

That is why their speed is so fast.

Lin Chen was excited and then returned to the underground training room.

Next, upgrade his Realm to Martial Artist Late Stage!

Consume energy points!

Boom!

Lin Chen felt all 108 apertures in his body glowing.

Immediately after, the 108 apertures acted as a guide, beginning to connect the twelve main Meridians and the eight extraordinary Meridians throughout his body!

His body autonomously began to absorb external energy and convert it into internal True Qi.

The 108 apertures were absorbing energy crazily, like 108 whirlpools.

True Qi was stored within the twelve main Meridians and the eight extraordinary Meridians.

Feeling the changes in his body, Lin Chen was very excited.

He had actually cleared the eight extraordinary Meridians!

Lin Chen had also been paying close attention to information about the Martial Artist Realm recently.

The further one goes, the harder it is to clear the 108 apertures!

By then, aperture opening pills and exotic beast life cores no longer have any effect.

Unless one has a Heaven And Earth Treasure or encounters an Opportunity.

Most Martial Artists choose to break through to the Martial Artist Late Stage after clearing 80 to 90 apertures.

Such Martial Artists can eventually connect the twelve main Meridians of their body.

But it is very difficult to connect the eight extraordinary Meridians!

People with exceptional talent and Heaven-Defying Opportunities can clear more apertures.

After breaking through, being able to clear one extraordinary Meridian is already very impressive.

"I rely on the System to improve, so I have no Bottleneck!"

"I can reach the limit in every Realm!"

"The eight extraordinary Meridians are incomparably wider than the twelve main Meridians, and can store more True Qi."

"My True Qi storage is more than ten times that of an average Martial Artist!"

[energy points] 15079

Looking at the remaining energy points, Lin Chen pondered.

Cultivation Technique deduction requires 10,000 energy points.

After deduction, his two Profound Rank Advanced Cultivation Techniques should be able to break through to Earth Rank Cultivation Techniques.

He was not in a hurry about his current Realm and Cultivation Techniques.

He only needed to improve his Mental Energy!

Lin Chen was still very confused about Mental Energy at the moment.

"I'll search online to see if there are any specific Realm classifications."

Immediately, Lin Chen took out his smart communicator and began to search.

1 hour later~

After a search, Lin Chen had a brand new understanding of Mental Energy!

The Mental Energy of an Elementary Mentalist is between 200 and 10,000 Hz.

The Mental Energy of an Intermediate Mentalist is between 10,000 and 1,000,000 Hz.

The Mental Energy of an Advanced Mentalist is above 1,000,000 Hz!

When a Mentalist breaks through 10,000 Hz, their Mental Energy core will undergo a transformation, allowing them to comprehend the prototype of a Domain!

A Domain is the symbol of a Martial King powerhouse; only in the Martial King Realm can one comprehend different powers of heaven and earth.

But Mentalists can master it in advance.

But the prerequisite is: one must master a Cultivation Technique to Perfection!

A Cultivation Technique at Perfection allows one to comprehend a trace of the power of heaven and earth.

Phew~

Lin Chen took a deep breath, his heart burning.

"A Domain! What kind of ability is that."

Upgrade!

Consume 15079 energy points

[Mental Energy] 17025 Hz +

The Mental Energy core in his brain Domain was spinning frantically.

Terrifying storms of Mental Energy emerged from his brain Domain!

Suddenly!

Hum~

It seemed to have reached a critical point.

The Mental Energy core shattered instantly!

Intermediate Mentalist!

Mental Energy broke through the limit of the core; theoretically, it could be improved infinitely!

Boom!

Suddenly.

A loud noise!

In the external Void Realm, a terrifying force of purple lightning descended instantly.

It directly merged into Lin Chen's body.

Fortunately, the purple lightning disappeared very quickly, and it did not cause much disturbance in the outside world.

Lin Chen felt a mysterious and profound Concept.

He had a brand new realization of the power of Purple Lightning Thunder!

Lin Chen's thoughts moved.

A terrifying force of lightning Domain appeared.

It covered a range of 100 meters around Lin Chen.

The Domain contained a powerful oppressive force!

Streaks of lightning as thick as fingers were contained within the Domain.

Lin Chen felt that with a single thought, lightning could descend anywhere within the Domain.

"Purple Lightning Thunder Domain!"

"It should be because of the Purple Lightning Thunder Blade reaching Perfection."

"The Purple Lightning Thunder Blade is a Profound Rank Cultivation Technique; compared to the Misty Trace Steps, it reached Perfection first."

"I comprehended more of the power of heaven and earth from the Purple Lightning Thunder, so the Domain formed this time upon breaking through to Intermediate Mentalist is the Purple Lightning Thunder Domain!"

Lin Chen tried it out, and his Mental Energy could actually cover a range of a thousand meters around him!

He felt the power contained in the Domain.

If he were to face that Unicorn Wolf King again.

He would only need one strike of lightning to destroy it!

At this moment, Lin Chen couldn't wait to Dreamland Traversal to the Other World again.

He wanted to verify what level his strength had reached!

...

Night fell.

Holding a D-grade long saber, Lin Chen slowly drifted off to sleep.
