55: sensation!
Lin Chen woke up early the next morning.
He felt great.
The aperture opening pill would still take another day to arrive.
He wasn't in a hurry.
He planned to first improve himself before going to the Other World to hunt.
He could now force himself to sleep using his Mental Energy.
Which meant, he could also traverse dreams during the day!
Just then, ding, ding, ding—his smart communicator rang several times.
Lin Chen curiously opened it to see.
He saw messages from the class group.
“Big news, everyone, quickly check the latest updates from the Human Federation's major news outlets.”
“Old Li, what's going on so early in the morning?”
“Go see for yourselves, it’s absolutely shocking.”
“Isn’t it just about what’s happening in the Other World? What’s the big fuss?”
Everyone was also filled with doubt.
Then the group fell silent.
They were probably all off to read the news.
Lin Chen was also very curious.
He casually clicked on a webpage.
He saw that the top 10 trending searches on the webpage were all about one person.
Good news! The Blue Star Human Federation's fourth Martial Emperor Realm Expert has emerged!
Good news! Wang Feiyu has forcefully broken through to the Martial Emperor Realm!
Good news! A fifth-tier Demon Wolf attacked Base No. 35, and Wang Feiyu descended to slay it with a single sword!
...Humanity has always been at a disadvantage compared to the Other World.
The number of Martial Emperor Realm Experts in the Other World far exceeded that of humanity.
At this moment, the entire Human Federation was in an uproar.
Billions of people on Blue Star were celebrating the birth of a new Martial Emperor Realm Expert.
Some restaurants and taverns even offered three days of free meals and hosted grand banquets just to celebrate this moment.
Some young men and women at the Martial Artist and Martial Apprentice realms were spurred on, wanting to join the army for training.
They looked up to Wang Feiyu as a role model, filled with ambition.
However, they were all held back by their elders...
Wang Feiyu?
It was this person again.
He had reached the Martial Emperor Realm!
Humanity now had 4 Martial Emperor Realm Experts.
One must know that the hegemonic races of the Other World, such as the Sea Demon Clan, only had two Martial Emperor Realm Experts.
Excluding the Central Domain, the remaining four major domains of the Other World, the total number of foreign race Martial Emperor Realm Experts in each domain did not exceed 10.
There might be some hidden Martial Emperor Realm Experts.
But even then, that was the combined total of multiple races.
Yet, humanity had now reached 4.
Wait!
Fifth-tier Demon Wolf!
Lin Chen subconsciously clicked on the trending search about Wang Feiyu slaying the fifth-tier Demon Wolf.
The next moment, information about this trending search popped up.
Lin Chen immediately read it carefully—
The Demon Wolf Beast Ancestor launched a night raid on Base No. 35.
A Martial Emperor Realm general was gravely wounded.
At the critical moment, Wang Feiyu arrived and slew it with a single sword!
...It really was the Demon Wolf Clan he hunted last night!
He hadn't expected there to truly be a fifth-tier Demon Wolf there!
Is this Demon Wolf attacking Base No. 35 related to me?
Lin Chen thought to himself.
He didn't want to bring trouble to the Human Federation.
“It seems I’ll have to be more discreet next time I hunt.”
Lin Chen continued to browse.
He found many live videos.
They should have been recorded by people observing at the time.
Lin Chen casually clicked on one.
He saw a terrifying thousand-meter-tall Demon Wolf suspended above the base.
A several-thousand-meter-tall Demon Wolf Dharma Aspect appeared.
The Martial Emperor Realm Expert immediately vomited blood and fell.
At this moment, a white-clad youth appeared.
“This should be Wang Feiyu.”
Lin Chen continued to watch.
He saw that Wang Feiyu's displayed Dharma Aspect was much taller than the Demon Wolf Dharma Aspect.
The technological level of this era was very high.
Although the person recording the video was in the base a thousand meters below, the picture quality was very high-definition.
The conversation between Wang Feiyu and the Demon Wolf Beast Ancestor could be heard.
Five Source Great Daos?
Dharma Aspect combat techniques?
After watching the entire video, Lin Chen was deeply shocked.
So, breaking through to the Martial Emperor Realm wasn't just about three Great Daos; it could be more!
Each Source Great Dao was extremely difficult to comprehend.
Everyone had different aptitudes for each Great Dao.
For example, the Sea Demon Clan of the Other World had a natural affinity for the Great Dao of Water.
That's why there were so many Martial Emperor Realm Experts in the Sea Demon Clan.
The Sea Demon Clan could quickly master the complete Great Dao of Water.
However, further advancement was extremely difficult.
If one were to comprehend a Source Great Dao with low aptitude, it might be difficult to comprehend even a trace for decades or even a century!
This was why most Martial Emperor Realm Experts were in the early stage!
At this moment, Lin Chen’s eyes lit up.
He didn’t have the problem of aptitude.
So, could he comprehend 10 Source Great Daos before breaking through to the Martial Sovereign Realm?
Wang Feiyu, who broke through with 5 Great Daos, was already so monstrous.
What if it were 10?
Lin Chen's heart burned with excitement.
However, for now, he still needed to improve his Mental Energy.
Once his Mental Energy increased, his hunting efficiency would be higher!
And he would also be able to quickly advance on the path of martial arts!
More messages came in the class group.
“Oh my, it’s too shocking.”
“Wang Feiyu is too much of a prodigy. I heard he could already fight Emperor Realm Experts when he was in the Martial Sovereign Realm.”
“Yes, Wang Feiyu is only in his thirties this year and isn't married yet...”
“Hmph, stop being so infatuated. Do you think Wang Feiyu would even look at you?”
“Du Ziheng, are you looking for a beating or what?!”
Lin Chen put down his phone.
He walked to the window.
One really couldn't underestimate the geniuses of this world.
His own path of martial arts was still very long.
However, with the system by his side, he believed he would soon reach that realm!
He collected his thoughts.
Lin Chen went to the underground training room.
He glanced at the system panel.
Mental Energy: 170 million Hz
Secret Art: Eye of Void Breaking, Second Layer, Great Accomplishment (473 million / 500 million)
energy points: 840 million
“First, let’s raise the second layer of the secret art to perfection.”
Consume energy points to upgrade!
Lin Chen felt the second Mental Energy formation quickly taking shape in his brain.
He glanced at the panel.
Secret Art: Eye of Void Breaking, Third Layer, Beginner (0 / 5 billion)
energy points: 813 million
Indeed!
The third layer required 5 billion energy points.
The current amplification was already 5 times.
All remaining energy points to Mental Energy!
Consume energy points to upgrade!
Boom—
Waves of terrifying Mental Energy erupted from Lin Chen's brain.
The Mental Storm Domain also uncontrollably burst forth.
Lin Chen tried to suppress the domain.
He didn't want to hurt anyone.
The breakthrough lasted for half an hour.
Buzz—
Lin Chen quickly retracted the Mental Storm Domain.
“It seems I'll have to break through in the Other World from now on.”
His Mental Storm Domain was becoming increasingly terrifying.
He still had to suppress it during breakthroughs.
Otherwise, if the Mental Storm Domain spread, the entire Modu Martial University would be in trouble...
This time, his Mental Energy increased to 983 million Hz!
Multiplying that by 5 would be 49.15!
The limit of a Super Spiritual Mind Master!
Lin Chen was incredibly excited.
His current combat power should be able to contend with a Martial Emperor Late Stage Expert!
A Super Spiritual Mind Master corresponds to the Human Martial Sovereign Realm.
There were two methods for Mentalist combat.
One was to directly attack the opponent's brain.
As long as the Mental Energy gap was large, even if the opponent had Mental Energy equipment for protection, they would still be instantly killed!
Another combat method was object manipulation!
His current 983 million Hz Mental Energy, without using the Eye of Void Breaking, corresponded to the early stage of the Martial Sovereign Realm.
When fighting a Martial Emperor Early Stage Expert, he only needed to control a flying sword to fight.
983 million Hz Mental Energy.
It was too powerful.
Besides object manipulation, he could also directly restrain opponents!
It was the same method Li Zixuan used to restrain the Phantom Cat previously.
However, before, Lin Chen mostly relied on overwhelming Mental Energy attacks.
Mentalist attack methods were numerous.
They could also control consciousness, soul search... but these all required secret arts.
Humanity had too few Mentalist secret arts and cultivation methods!
It was said that at the Saint Realm, one could even create a Spiritual World!
“Since the Demon Wolf Beast Ancestor is dead, then...”
Lin Chen's mouth curved into a smile.
The next moment, Lin Chen used his Mental Energy to force himself to sleep.
Dream Traverse!
