Chapter 193 - Someone Investigating You

On the street, Lin Feng put down his communicator. All along, he had been concerned about something. The figure in his mind could not be erased.

He even deliberately avoided the Polar Academy. Lin Feng had mixed feelings about the Global Martial Arts Conference being held at the Polar Academy. However, when he connected to Qu Chen's communicator and exchanged a few simple words, despite not even meeting her, he felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from the depths of his heart. He suddenly relaxed.

"So, it's that simple."

Lin Feng understood, and his mood lifted. Although he did not meet Qu Chen, and they just greeted each other like friends, this was enough.

It was really enough. He had already broken the genetic lock. He was no longer plagued by the strange illness. From the moment he broke the genetic lock, he had embarked on a new chapter in his life!

It was time for his relationship with Qu Chen to embark on a new chapter, too.

…

Time passed in a flash. The Global Martial Arts Competition was held as scheduled. The Polar Academy opened, and all martial artists who signed up could enter the Polar Academy.

As for the others, martial artists above the Divine Realm could enter directly. As for some government personnel, upper echelons of the military, celebrities from all walks of life, reporters, and so on, they all required an invitation card for entry.

This also caused dissatisfaction in many people, feeling that it was a little unfair. However, wasn't this what the five major factions had been pushing for? Martial artists had the priority in all things. Furthermore, martial artists above the Divine Realm enjoyed preferential treatment.

However, no matter how many people were dissatisfied, they could not change the rules of the five major factions.

The five major factions had actually already sent out many invitation cards, but there were simply too many people who wanted to enter the Polar Academy and watch the Global Martial Arts Competition on site. Some wealthy people were even willing to pay a high price to purchase them.

Currently, the price of an invitation card had already risen to over a million, but there were still very few of them for sale. No one was willing to give up such an invitation card and miss this grand event.

As for the ordinary people who did not have any channels, they were all gathered in front of the television or watching the Global Martial Arts Competition online. On this day, large companies and corporations would even make some time specifically for their employees to watch the Global Martial Arts Competition. The five major factions must have secretly added to the momentum.

The goal was to build the world's grandest event, and even push the society to enter the era of martial artists!

…

Lin Feng and Mo Lei walked slowly into the Polar Academy together. The participating martial artists and the spectators took two different passages for distinguishing to avoid confusion due to the large number of people.

Even so, Lin Feng looked over and realized that the martial artist queue was very, very long. There were literally tens of thousands of them. Why were there so many Metamorphic Realm martial artists participating in the Global Martial Arts Competition?

"Brother Mo Lei, do you know how many Metamorphic Realm martial artists are participating in this competition?" Lin Feng asked curiously.

Mo Lei shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, but there must be tens of thousands of people. Actually, there are many human martial artists. Metamorphic Realm martial artists appear to be very few, but that's because they are scattered all over the world. There are 10 billion people in the world. Even if only 100 million people practice martial arts, and one in a hundred of them succeeds, there would still be many martial artists who can break the genetic lock in the end."

Lin Feng nodded thoughtfully. Actually, he had never paid much attention to the number of human martial artists. Now that he heard Mo Lei's words, it seemed like there were really quite a lot of human martial artists.

"Lin Feng, there are really a lot of martial artists who signed up for the Global Martial Arts Competition this time. There are a total of 36,981 people." Suddenly, Longbetham's voice sounded in Lin Feng's mind.

Longbetham was omnipotent in the virtual network. It was only too easy to investigate this information.

"Over 36,000 people. That's indeed a lot."

Lin Feng's heart also skipped a beat. It had to be known that most of the people participating in the Global Martial Arts Competition this time were Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artists. Apart from a very small number of First Level and Second Level Metamorphic Realm martial artists who would sign up, the rest were all Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artists. After all, if one did not have the strength of the Third Level of Metamorphic Realm, it would be a wasted trip.

Moreover, this Global Martial Arts Competition would be broadcast live worldwide before 10 billion viewers. If they were clearly not strong enough and came here to be "trounced", it would be embarrassing to be seen by their acquaintances.

The martial artists who signed up to participate more or less had some strength.

Of course, while there were more than 30,000 Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artists, if one did a rough calculation, even if there were hundreds of thousands of Metamorphic Realm martial artists, or even millions of Metamorphic Realm martial artists, they would still be nothing compared to all the dire beasts in the Outland.

The number of demons among those dire beasts was simply infinite. In terms of numbers alone, even if human martial artists expanded by another ten or a hundred times, they still would not be on par with the many dire beasts in the Outland.

"Lin Feng, people on your network have voted for the top ten popular candidates. Do you want to know who they are?"

Having roamed the Internet for so long, Longbetham had actually become quite "nosy" too.

"I'm not interested in knowing. In any case, I'm not one of them."

Lin Feng also had some self-awareness. Although he had obtained the Hero of Humanity Medal and caused a stir in Stone City, the time since he's broken the genetic lock was too short. It was impossible for him to become a popular candidate.

He could only appear as a "dark horse" in this Global Martial Arts Competition.

"What a bore. However, someone has been investigating your information on the network for the past few days."

"Investigating my information? Who?"

Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat. He had not offended anyone recently. Why would someone investigate his information?

He thought of the Legate of Stone City, Zhang Zifeng. Although this Zhang Zifeng was a Divine Realm expert, he had a high-and-almighty attitude like a deity. Zhang Zifeng had also left with his tail between his legs after Hao Shiyi taught him a lesson for Lin Feng's sake. Lin Feng wouldn't be surprised at all if Zhang Zifeng wanted to kill him.

There was also the Zhao family of Central Sea. Due to the matter of Zhao Ping, even if Lin Feng did nothing, he would still be a thorn in the Zhao family's side. The stronger Lin Feng was, the higher his status, and the greater his influence, the more uneasy the Zhao family would be.

That said, the Zhao family knew the Lin family very well. They didn't need to investigate online.

"It is someone called Li Hang. He is a student of the Polar Academy."

"A student from the Polar Academy investigated me? I don't know anyone called Li Hang at all. Longbetham, you must have investigated the reason, right?"

"Of course I have investigated thoroughly. Li Hang was just investigating your information, and it was all public information. I traced it to his account and found something interesting. According to how you humans put it, he should be your love rival, right? He is investigating your relationship with that girl you called yesterday."

Lin Feng heaved a sigh of relief. So it was because of Qu Chen.

As for love rival?

Lin Feng did not care at all. Qu Chen was so outstanding that she had no lack of suitors back in Central Sea University, let alone in Polar Academy. Having suitors was all too normal.

If that Li Hang wanted to investigate, Lin Feng did not pay heed to it at all. He was just a student of the Polar Academy who had not even broken the genetic lock. Why would Lin Feng care?

The current Lin Feng was no longer that boy plagued by a strange illness. Instead, he was a genius martial artist who had broken the genetic lock and had boundless potential. He was confident that he could be on par with any genius!
