Right to Power-The Global Elite Martial Artist Competition!!!

Night fell.

Before entering dreamland, Lu Xuan opened the Martial Artist Forum and browsed through it.

He searched for information related to Virtual Combat.

What was Virtual Combat?

It was similar to a virtual game. One's consciousness entered the Intelligent Network, one's attributes were digitized, and one could be matched with an evenly matched opponent.

This allowed one to temper one's strength.

This method of combat could hone Martial Skills.

He heard that the Global Elite Martial Artist Competition ranked participants based on their Virtual Combat performance.

"The Global Elite Martial Artist Competition?"

Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows. A title appeared in his field of vision.

#The Tenth Global Elite Martial Artist Competition Is Recruiting! Martial Artists From Around the World Will Gather, and the Top-Ranked Participants Can Enter the Martial God Hall for Cultivation#

Curious, Lu Xuan clicked to expand it.

The Global Elite Martial Artist Competition was divided into three events.

Qi-Blood Martial Artists—the Human Ranking.

Martial Dao Grandmasters—the Earth Ranking.

Heaven and Earth Martial Saints—the Heaven Ranking.

There was a global overall ranking, followed by regional rankings.

Every martial artist first had to earn points on the Virtual Combat Platform.

One victory earned one point.

They accumulated points bit by bit, then competed in actual combat in the War Zone based on their rankings.

For example, in Jinling Base City, once a martial artist accumulated enough points and ranked among the top one hundred before the War Zone rankings were finalized, they would participate in offline combat after the rankings were finalized.

The actual combat determined the final rankings.

The higher one's ranking, the more generous the Federation Rewards.

After that, one could go on to participate in the global ranking competition.

Likewise, if one ranked near the top of the overall rankings, one could not only enter the Martial God Hall at the Human Federation's Highest Base for cultivation but could even become a Town General of a nation and receive the reverence of millions.

Of course,

the original purpose of this elite martial artist competition was to select geniuses.

To cultivate geniuses and resist the Monster War of the future.

"I see."

Lu Xuan now basically understood.

First, martial artists began accumulating combat points.

After breaking through to Martial Artist, they challenged others according to their initial point ranking.

At that time, any martial artist who entered the top one hundred of the rankings would receive the Federation's focused cultivation.

And it did not matter whether they joined the Federation.

If they could enter the overall rankings, they could even join the Martial God Hall and truly become an existence above the masses.

Lu Xuan's blood boiled as he read.

Wilderness Adventure was a way to make money.

This Virtual Combat Platform was a path to power.

If one wanted to gain power, one had to venture into danger to obtain cultivation resources and improve one's strength.

After improving one's strength, one's authority was still too low?

Then one could participate in the Global Elite Martial Artist Competition and become an existence standing above the masses.

A true powerhouse who held real authority.

"Whoosh, no need to rush."

Lu Xuan suppressed his excitement. "Rice has to be eaten one bite at a time, and roads have to be walked one step at a time."

However,

his future goals were now clear enough.

In general, he had to improve his strength.

Heal his parents.

Resolve the trouble he was in.

Use one identity to venture into the wilderness and hunt.

Use another identity to participate in Virtual Combat and grind points.

Only by progressing step by step, gaining both power and wealth, could he achieve his goal.

"Mm, I'll set myself a small goal first."

"Earn thirty million!"

"Become a Martial Artist!"

That night,

a group of uninvited guests arrived in the silent Western District.

They moved with nimble grace, investigating each household and gathering information.

Before long, they all withdrew.

Monster Potion Company.

One report after another appeared before the company's owner.

"Take a look. This is the information on the martial artists we've investigated so far."

The man sent all the data to his younger sister, who was lying in a hospital bed.

She was naturally the Leather-clad Woman. At this moment, her arms had become a pair of mechanical hands, and the hole in her abdomen had been repaired. However, the qi-blood and Spiritual Energy unique to martial artists had completely vanished from her body.

She clicked open the data through gritted teeth.

"Brother, I want to kill them all—ahhh!!!"

She had only looked at it for a moment before losing patience. Clutching her head, she shrieked without stopping.

"Shut up!"

The man's voice was cold. "What do you think this place is? You think you can kill people whenever you want? Put away that spoiled young lady's temper, or you'll implicate the entire family!"

After scolding her, the man swiped through the data.

Several minutes later,

more than twenty files had been filtered out.

"These are the people who went to Ruins City over the past week. But they're basically all low-level Martial Artists. They don't match the identity information of the Ghost Face Martial Artist at all."

The man pinched the bridge of his nose in distress.

The woman on the hospital bed stared blankly at the ceiling. "Is it possible that he's an ordinary person?"

"I think you've really gone insane!"

The man glared at her.

But the woman showed no sign of abandoning the thought. Instead, she became even more convinced and shouted:

"Brother, that's definitely it!"

"He can manipulate objects from a distance. That ability is unheard of. Even Grandpa can't control objects and kill people invisibly like a sharp sword!"

After a pause, her voice turned solemn.

"Is it possible that this ability can conceal other martial artists' probing, allowing him to disguise himself as an ordinary person?"

"Yes, that's definitely it!"

"Brother, it must be so. We'll investigate ordinary people!"

"Shut up!"

Looking at his crazed younger sister, the man released his pressure.

He pointed at the woman and snorted, "I think it's not just your flesh that's injured. Your brain is hurt too!"

"A martial artist's qi-blood is innate. How could it possibly be hidden? After you've eaten, can you pretend to have starved for several days, with a sallow, emaciated appearance?"

"The Xu Family has run into some problems recently, so I don't have time to deal with you here."

"Reflect on this properly!"

The man left without looking back.

No matter how the woman called after him, he paid her no attention.

"Why don't you believe me!"

The woman broke down and burst into tears.

Suddenly.

As she sobbed, a figure appeared in the room.

"Beautiful lady, you seem to be in great need of help. Give your heart to the Holy Cult, and the Lord will help you escape your suffering."

The night passed without incident.

Early the next morning, Lu Ying woke Lu Xuan, who was still asleep.

After a simple breakfast, the two left for the Martial Artist Association.

Because it had been too late the day before, Lu Xuan had not taken his younger sister to register as a martial artist.

Martial Artist Association.

A crowd had gathered here during the day.

The moment the Lu siblings appeared, they attracted plenty of attention.

Especially after people heard that Lu Ying had become a martial artist before the martial arts examination, many came forward to add Lu Xuan as a contact.

"Brother, let's keep in touch. If there's a chance, pass on some experience to everyone."

"Does your sister eat monster meat every day? I heard that's useful. Is it really true?"

"..."

Lu Xuan merely smiled and did not refuse everyone's attempts to win him over.

Soon,

Lu Ying finished registering her martial artist account.

The two came to the front desk, and Lu Xuan asked the staff member, "Are there any devices here for entering the Virtual Combat Platform?"

Entering the Virtual Combat Platform required a medium.

The staff member brought up a data panel and explained, "There are two ways to enter the Virtual Combat Platform. One is a Virtual Pod, which encloses the entire body and costs between one million and two million Federal Coins."

"The other connects to a martial artist account. You can enter by channeling Spiritual Energy, but installation costs ten million Federal Coins."

Gasp—!

Lu Xuan immediately sucked in a cold breath.

The martial artists' world was indeed convenient, but it was truly expensive.

Lu Ying thanked the staff member and pulled Lu Xuan away.

"Little sis, I'll work hard and buy one for you," Lu Xuan promised.

Of course,

it was not only his sister who needed one. He needed one too.

If he could become a powerhouse on the rankings, the treatment would be extraordinary.

"Big brother, don't waste the money." Lu Ying smiled sweetly. "I heard that if I pass the entrance examination for a martial arts school, this kind of thing will be installed for free. I don't mind waiting a few days, and then we can save a huge sum of money."

"Really?"

Lu Xuan genuinely had not known that.

But since his sister had said so, he did not insist.

The siblings walked and stopped along the way, wandering around before returning home.

After they got home,

his younger sister Lu Ying continued cultivating.

Lu Xuan changed his clothes and went outside.

He needed too much money at the moment.

He had to convert all the resources in his hands into cash.

And for these items of unknown origin, the best place to sell them was the Black Market.

However,

before that, Lu Xuan had to ensure the transaction was safe.

He first contacted the broker mentioned by his future self in the second email.

This time, he directly added the other party's martial artist account.

Within a few minutes,

the broker accepted his friend request.

Lu Xuan got straight to the point. "Selling items worth one hundred million."

Whether shocked by the message or for some other reason, the other party replied instantly.

Broker: "Item information. No need for details—an overview is enough."

Lu Xuan did not hold back. "Two Martial Art Manuals, two Martial Skills, eight Storage Rings, three tons of high-grade monster beast flesh and blood, and twenty spirit herbs."

Broker: "Martial Art Manuals? Are you trying to lure me into committing a crime? Martial Art Manuals and Martial Skills aren't for sale. The eight Storage Rings, three tons of high-grade monster beast meat, and spirit herbs... are worth only around thirty million. I'll take thirty percent and find you buyers."

Lu Xuan: "Deal."

These things were highly distinctive.

If he sold them recently to the Martial Artist Association or the Monster Potion Company, or if Xu Youxin investigated them, his identity could easily be exposed.

There were none of those concerns if he went through the Black Market.

After the two of them settled on a trading location, Lu Xuan gathered his thoughts, turned around, and walked into the market to buy some fresh vegetables.

Just as he was hurrying back, a peculiar aura suddenly appeared within the range of his mental detection.

"Someone following me?"

Lu Xuan frowned and turned into a narrow alley.

He waited there quietly for a while.

Soon,

a petite figure appeared at the mouth of the alley. She crept in bit by bit, dragging an iron chain in her hand.

When she saw Lu Xuan, she revealed a crazed smile. "Oh my, this little puppy's nose is pretty sharp, huh~ That's not a good habit, you know."

"It's you?"

Lu Xuan stared at the petite figure before him, utterly astonished.

Because the person who had come was none other than Jiang Xi, who had visited his home yesterday.

"Big Brother Lu still remembers me."

Jiang Xi let out a strange giggle. "But I'm not some little fish like Big Brother~"

With that,

under Lu Xuan's horrified gaze, Jiang Xi reached into her tiny lower mouth and pulled out a section of iron chain covered in filth with a ripping sound.

"Mm~ Big Brother, don't blame me, okay?"
