Permanent Martial Arts

Swoosh.

In the square, Chen Liang woke up with a start. His expression was filled with shock.

He had actually been eliminated just now. How was this possible?

“I already have 5,600 strands of Astral Power in my body. Although I haven’t reached the peak of the Third Level of Metamorphic Realm yet, I used 5,000 strands of Astral Power with the Fleeting Blade just now. It can be said to be a definitively fatal strike. Why did I lose?”

Chen Liang could not figure it out no matter how he thought about it. He only vaguely remembered that Lin Feng had deployed a bubble. Then, he seemed to be mesmerized by the bubble. By the time he woke up with a start, he had already been eliminated.

After Chen Liang was eliminated, the staff of the Polar Academy immediately “invited” Chen Liang out of the square to sit in the audience stand. His trip to the martial arts competition had already ended. He could only admire the grace of the other participating martial artists as an audience member.

“Brother Chen Liang, you were eliminated too?”

“That’s right, Brother Chen Liang. Could it be that you encountered those top ten martial artists? Otherwise, even a peak Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artist shouldn’t be able to defeat Brother Chen Liang so quickly.”

“By the way, Brother Chen Liang, who was your opponent?”

As soon as Chen Liang sat in the audience, he realized that there were many familiar martial artists around. These martial artists were all very surprised to see Chen Liang. They were also eliminated martial artists, but most of them were only Second Level Metamorphic Realm martial artists who wanted to try their luck.

Chen Liang, however, was at the Third Level of Metamorphic Realm. Although he had not reached the peak yet, his Fleeting Blade was still very formidable. Only those highly popular martial artists could eliminate Chen Liang so quickly.

Chen Liang smiled weakly and said, “I don’t know how I was eliminated either, but I know his name. His name is Lin Feng. It’s that Lin Feng from the Myriad Academy, the genius martial artist who obtained the Hero of Humanity Medal in Dragonlith City.”

“What? You were eliminated by that Lin Feng?”

“That’s right. We also know about Lin Feng. He obtained the Hero of Humanity Medal in Dragonlith City, but he only broke the genetic lock for a few months, less than a year, right? Even if he’s very talented and can break through to the Second Level of Metamorphic Realm, he’s definitely not your match.”

“It’s a pity that Lin Feng’s winning streak hasn’t entered the top 100 yet. Otherwise, there would be a scene of his battle.”

“That’s right. We must take a good look at this Lin Feng. He actually eliminated Brother Chen Liang. He’s not so simple.”

In reality, Chen Liang was also confused. However, he had a vague feeling that Lin Feng was not just a Second Level Metamorphic Realm cultivator. Could he be a Third Level Metamorphic Realm cultivator?

However, on second thought, it seemed impossible. Was it possible to break through to the Third Level of Metamorphic Realm in less than a year?

Unfortunately, there was no battle scene of Lin Feng now.

Actually, there were hundreds of screens in the entire square. The projectors also projected scenes of the martial artists fighting. However, only those martial artists who were ranked in the top 100 in consecutive victories could have battle scenes. Other martial artists did not.

Lin Feng did not have any battle scene now. He had not entered the top 100 yet, but Chen Liang was very confident in Lin Feng. Since Lin Feng could eliminate him instantly, it should not be a problem for Lin Feng to enter the top 100.

The Global Martial Arts Competition had just begun, but everyone was already thrumming with excitement.

This state-of-the-art Virtual Combat System was also indispensable. Every battle set-up was different. It could be in the desert, the vast starry cosmos, or the depths of the ocean.

In short, the Virtual Combat System could simulate all the battle scenes in reality.

Battle scenes that could not possibly appear in reality, such as in the starry cosmos or at the bottom of the ocean, could also be simulated by the Virtual Combat System. Hence, every battle was magnificent and dream-like.

Whether they were on-site or in front of the television, everyone felt that it was more enjoyable than watching any movie.

In particular, the destructive power of those martial artists was very astonishing. For example, one of the martial artists’ innate ability was to control water. With a slash of his saber, waves surged in the sea, covering the sky and earth, displaying a supreme divine might.

This battle scene was uploaded to video websites almost immediately. Countless people watched it repeatedly. It was just too beautiful and stunning.

This was especially true for ordinary people. They might never have seen a Metamorphic Realm martial artist in their entire lives, let alone a great battle between Metamorphic Realm martial artists.

They only knew about inhuman experts, and did not know that the Metamorphic Realm martial artists among inhuman experts were only at the first level, and were the weakest inhuman experts.

However, with the rise of the Global Martial Arts Competition, they learned a lot of general knowledge about martial artists, especially inhuman experts, from some “professional” commentators.

They also saw the overwhelming and terrifying power of those Metamorphic Realm martial artists. They revered that kind of power from the bottom of their hearts. At this moment, some hot-blooded youths were even eager to become martial artists.

It was foreseeable that once this martial arts competition came to an end, another wave of martial arts fervor would definitely rise in the entire human society. This was also what the Nine Sages and the five major factions wanted to see.

“Everyone, how’s this Virtual Combat System?” Elder Kang asked with a smile.

“Not bad. The authenticity is 100%. The intelligence level has also improved greatly. If we follow the original development of virtual technology step by step, we might not be able to develop it to this extent even in a hundred years.” The Invincible Fist Sage nodded and said with some lamentation.

“That’s right. Elder Kang and I took many years to conquer the ancient ruins, before finally obtaining this Virtual Combat System. It’s just that, according to our investigation, those ruins should have been left behind by a powerful technological civilization. Some of the things there could even pose a threat to us Sages. It’s obvious how glorious that technological civilization was at its peak. However, even such a powerful civilization was ultimately destroyed. I wonder why.” Sage Yuanyi’s words immediately turned the atmosphere heavy.

Actually, the Nine Sages had already excavated many ancient ruins in succession. They could determine that those ancient relics did not belong to the same era, or even the same civilization, but different civilizations.

Just the ruins discovered were breathtaking. Those civilizations were not inferior to the current human civilization in their glory, but they were ultimately destroyed one by one.

What was the reason behind the destruction of these civilizations?

This lingered in the hearts of the Nine Sages like a shadow.

“I hope the little fellows won’t disappoint us this time. If they can enter that shipwreck smoothly and unearth the secrets inside, perhaps we’ll have the answer.” Elder Kang heaved a long sigh.

All the Sages looked at the screens again.

At this moment, the highest winning streak on the screen had actually reached 10. The battle entered its climax almost without any respite.
