Chapter 187 - Global Martial Arts Competition

"Global Martial Arts Competition?"

Lin Feng was confused. Could something major have happened recently outside while he was in seclusion?

Hence, Lin Feng quickly entered the Martial Domain Network and headed straight for the Martial Domain Forum.

As expected, the Martial Domain Forum had almost been covered by the "Global Martial Arts Competition". Almost every post was about the Global Martial Arts Competition.

It turned out that this was really a huge matter. The five major factions had jointly announced that the first Global Martial Arts Competition would be held at the Polar Academy. It would be held every ten years in the future.

Moreover, there was only one requirement for registration, and that was being a Metamorphic Realm martial artist! Only Metamorphic Realm martial artists were qualified to register for the Global Martial Arts Competition.

The Global Martial Arts Competition had already been publicized through various publicity channels. Now, almost everyone knew about the Global Martial Arts Competition.

As long as one was in the top ten of the Global Martial Arts Competition, they would receive very generous rewards. From wealth and status to reputation, almost all were awarded.

The merit value that martial artists valued the most was also there, and the award for first place was as high as 10,000 merit value! Provided by the five major factions, the 10,000 merit value was enough to drive anyone insane.

It had to be known that even if Lin Feng turned the tide in Dragonlith City and obtained the Hero of Humanity Medal, and agreed to join the academic faction, he was only rewarded 1,000 merit value.

A reward of 10,000 merit value at once was really generous. Even many Divine Realm experts would have to accumulate merit value for decades to obtain so much.

What was hidden behind this was somewhat intriguing. Moreover, the five major factions held the Global Martial Arts Competition in such a grand manner, and even the Nine Sages would deploy their projections to spectate the battle in the end. Practically all of these gave the Global Martial Arts Competition a lot of standing.

Why was that?

It was to build momentum! Without a doubt, this was to build momentum! And what was the purpose of building momentum at a Global Martial Arts Competition?

At most, they could choose some outstanding Metamorphic Realm martial artists. However, even if these Metamorphic Realm martial artists all underwent a second life transition and became Divine Realm martial artists, they were still not worth so much attention from the Nine Sages and the five major factions.

Many people speculated and analyzed on the forum, but in Lin Feng's opinion, those were all nonsense. None of them hit the mark.

"Although 10,000 merit value is a lot, merit value doesn't seem to be of much use to me."

Lin Feng muttered softly. He exited the Martial Domain Forum.

It was true that 10,000 merit value was indeed a huge number, and even Divine Realm martial artists were tempted. If any Metamorphic Realm martial artist obtained so much merit value, they would definitely be able to attain great success in a short period of time, and obtain any resources they wanted.

However, Lin Feng was not interested at all. He had already embarked on the cosmic cultivation system. He did not have much need for Astral martial arts, items that studied Astral Power, or resources that involved Astral Power.

Most of the things in the Martial Domain Network's online shop were some Astral Power cultivation techniques, Astral martial arts, or some protective armor, weapons, and so on. In the past, Lin Feng might have been envious, but with his current strength, he did not need them at all.

If he could undergo a second life transition in the future, he would only condense a combat body. Why would he need those Astral martial arts?

These 10,000 merit value were not attractive to Lin Feng at all.

In fact, who knew if there was any "hidden agenda" behind the five major factions' great effort to promote the Global Martial Arts Competition?

Hence, Lin Feng's interest in participating in the Global Martial Arts Competition naturally faded.

Perhaps only the fact that the Polar Academy was organizing this Global Martial Arts Competition touched Lin Feng's heart slightly, because there was still someone in the Polar Academy that Lin Feng could not forget.

"You must go to the Global Martial Arts Competition!" Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in Lin Feng's ear.

"Longbetham?"

Lin Feng picked up his communicator. It was Longbetham. During this period of time, Longbetham had been roaming the Internet. Lin Feng did not even know if Longbetham had caused any trouble.

"Why must I go?" Lin Feng asked instead.

Longbetham actually made a projection from the communicator. It was unknown how he did it. After all, the screen of the communicator did not have the function of projecting.

"It is quite good that you can master the first level of the Mental Guidance Technique and condense a Mental Power Sphere in such a short amount of time. Do you still want to undergo a second life transition in the future?"

"Of course. If I can't undergo a second life transition, why would I work so hard to cultivate the Mental Guidance Technique?"

Lin Feng was not "humble". At the very least, he had to achieve the second life transition. In fact, his ambition did not stop there. He hoped to achieve three, four, or even five life transitions.

Since he already knew about the vast universe and such a miraculous cosmic cultivation system, how could he not look forward to being able to travel freely in the cosmos one day?

Longbetham's face seemed to have become more expressive. Its projection shook its head and said, "Since you want to undergo a second life transition and even want to cultivate the combat body, you must participate in this Global Martial Arts Competition. Although you are still some distance away from a second life transition, do you know how much energy is needed to cultivate the combat body?

"With your current wealth and status, it is impossible for you to obtain so much energy. I have also learned about the distribution of resources within your society on the Internet. Without a doubt, a large amount of resources is under the control of martial artists like you. If you want to obtain these resources, you must purchase them with merit value.

"You can buy a lot of energy with 10,000 merit value. Although it is still not enough to support your cultivation of the combat body, it should suffice as long as you work hard to collect some more energy in the future. Therefore, you must participate in the Global Martial Arts Competition, and get the first place in order to obtain the 10,000 merit value!"

Lin Feng looked at Longbetham carefully. He was also considering it. Cultivating the combat body required a lot of energy?

On careful thought, it was true. If a second life transition combat body could really reach over a hundred meters, then such a massive combat body would indeed require a massive amount of energy.

It was just like how Lin Feng needed a large amount of nutrient solutions when fusing the genes of dire beasts to allow the various attributes of his body to improve rapidly. Those nutrient solutions were actually also a source of energy.

It was hard for Lin Feng to imagine how much energy was required for a combat body over a hundred meters. In terms of nutrient solutions, it would probably far exceed a few or dozens of bottles.

"What else? Since you're so powerful online, have you found the real reason behind this Global Martial Arts Competition?"

Lin Feng had a sudden thought. Since Longbetham was omnipotent on the Internet, perhaps it could learn of some secrets behind this Global Martial Arts Competition.
