The Path of Power - Global Elite Martial Artist Competition!!!

Night.

Before Lu Xuan drifted off to sleep, he opened the Martial Artist Forum to check it out.

He searched for content related to virtual combat.

The so-called virtual combat.

It was similar to a virtual game, where consciousness entered the Intelligent Network, digitized one's own attributes, and could match opponents of equal strength.

This was to hone one's own strength.

This method of combat could hone Martial Skills.

He heard that the Global Elite Martial Artist Competition ranked participants based on their performance in virtual combat.

"Global Elite Martial Artist Competition?"

Lu Xuan raised an eyebrow, and a title appeared in his vision.

#The 10th Global Elite Martial Artist Competition is recruiting! Gather martial artists from around the world. Those who rank high can enter the Martial God Hall for training.#

Out of curiosity, Lu Xuan clicked to expand it.

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

Qi and Blood Martial Master, Human Ranking.

Martial Dao Grandmaster, Earth Ranking.

Heavenly Martial Saint, Heaven Ranking.

There was a global ranking, and then regional sub-rankings.

Each martial artist would first accumulate points on the Virtual Combat Platform.

Win one match, gain 1 point.

Accumulate points bit by bit, then participate in War Zone Practical Combat based on their ranking.

For example, in Jinling Base City, if a martial artist accumulated enough points and ranked within the top 100 before the regional ranking was finalized, they would engage in offline practical combat after the ranking was set.

Practical combat would determine the final ranking.

The higher the ranking, the more generous the Federation Rewards.

Afterward, they could proceed to participate in the global final ranking practical combat.

Similarly, if you ranked high on the global list, you could not only enter the Human Federation's Highest Base, the Martial God Hall, for training but even become a Town General of a nation, admired by thousands.

Of course, The original intention of this Elite Martial Artist Competition was to identify geniuses.

To cultivate geniuses and fight against future Monster Wars.

"So that's how it is."

Lu Xuan basically understood.

First, martial artists had to start accumulating combat points.

After breaking through to Martial Master, they would challenge based on their initial points ranking.

Martial artists who could enter the top 100 of the rankings would receive focused cultivation from the Federation.

And it didn't matter if you joined the Federation or not.

If you could enter the global rankings, you could even join the Martial God Hall and truly become a being above thousands of people.

Lu Xuan's blood boiled with excitement.

Wilderness Adventure was a way to earn money.

This Virtual Combat Platform was a way to gain authority.

If you wanted authority, you had to venture out and risk acquiring cultivation resources to improve your strength.

After improving your strength, if your authority was still too low?

Then participate in the Global Elite Martial Artist Competition and become a being who stood above thousands.

A true powerhouse with real authority.

"Hoo~ No rush."

Lu Xuan suppressed his excitement. "One must eat one bite at a time, and walk one step at a time."

However, His future goals were now clear enough.

In general, it was to improve his strength.

Heal his parents.

Resolve the troubles he had.

Then enter the wilderness for adventure and hunting with a new identity.

to participate in Virtual Combat under a certain identity and earn points.

This gradual approach, acquiring both power and wealth, was his true goal.

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

"Earn thirty million!"

"Become a Martial Master!"

Night.

A group of uninvited guests arrived in the quiet West District.

They moved with agility, scouting each household and gathering information.

Before long, they all retreated.

Monster Potion Company.

Several relevant information sheets appeared before the company boss.

"Take a look, this is the information we've gathered on Martial Artists so far."

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

The latter was, of course, the woman in the leather outfit. Her arm had been replaced by a mechanical one, and the gaping wound in her abdomen had been repaired. However, the vitality and Spiritual Energy unique to Martial Artists had completely vanished.

She gritted her teeth and opened the data.

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

After only a glance or two, she lost patience, clutching her head and roaring.

"Shut up!"

The man's voice was cold. "What do you think this place is? You can just kill people whenever you want? Put away your tsundere princess temper, or the entire family will be implicated!"

After scolding her, the man's finger slid across the data.

A few minutes later, over twenty files were filtered out.

"These are the names of people who went to Ruins City in the past week, but they're basically all low-level Martial Artists. None of them match the identity information of a Ghost Face Martial Artist."

The man rubbed his temples, a headache forming.

The woman in the hospital bed stared blankly at the ceiling. "Is it possible he's just a normal person?"

"I think you're really crazy!"

The man glared at her.

But the woman didn't dismiss the thought at all. Instead, she became more convinced of it, shouting:

"Brother, it must be like this!"

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

She paused, her voice becoming solemn.

"Is it possible that this ability can hide others' prying eyes, allowing him to disguise himself as a normal person?"

"Yes, it must be!"

"Brother, it has to be this way. We should investigate normal people!"

"Shut up!"

Looking at his sister's frantic state, the man unleashed his pressure.

He pointed at the woman and scoffed, "I think it's not just your flesh and blood that's injured, but your brain too!"

"A Martial Artist's vitality is innate. How could they possibly hide it? If you've eaten, can you pretend to be emaciated and sallow, as if you haven't eaten for days?"

"The Xu family has had some problems recently, and I don't have the time to deal with your issues."

"Reflect on yourself properly!"

The man left without looking back.

No matter how much the woman cried out, he paid no attention.

"Why don't you believe me!"

The woman broke down and cried.

Suddenly.

As she was sobbing, a figure appeared in the room.

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

The night passed without incident.

In the early morning, Lu Ying woke up Lu Xuan, who was still fast asleep.

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

Yesterday was too late, so Lu Xuan hadn't taken his sister to register as a Martial Artist.

Martial Artist Association.

During the day, many people gathered here.

The appearance of the Lu siblings immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Especially after hearing that Lu Ying had become a Martial Artist before the Martial Arts Examination, many people came forward to add Lu Xuan's contact information.

"Brother, let's communicate more. If there's a chance, teach us your experience."

"Does your sister eat monster meat every day? I heard it's effective, is that true?"

"..."

Lu Xuan smiled, not refusing their attempts to recruit him.

Soon.

Lu Ying finished registering her Martial Artist account.

The two arrived at the front desk, and Lu Xuan looked at the staff and asked, "Do you have equipment here to enter the Virtual Combat Platform?"

Entering the Virtual Combat Platform requires a medium.

The staff member brought up a data panel and explained, "There are two modes to enter the Virtual Combat Platform. One is the Virtual Pod, which encases the whole body and costs between 1 million and 2 million Federal Coins."

"The other is to link to your Martial Artist account. You can enter by activating your Spiritual Energy. Installation costs 10 million Federal Coins."

Hiss--!

Lu Xuan gasped in shock.

The world of Martial Artists was indeed convenient, but it was truly expensive.

Lu Ying said thank you and pulled Lu Xuan away.

"Little sis, brother will work hard to earn money to buy it for you."

Lu Xuan promised.

Of course, It wasn't just his sister who needed it; he needed it too.

If one could become a top-ranked expert, the treatment would be extraordinary.

"Big brother, you don't need to spend money." Lu Ying said with a sweet smile, "I heard that if you get into a martial arts school, this kind of equipment is installed for free. I'm not in a hurry for those few days, and I can save a lot of money then."

"Is that so?"

Lu Xuan genuinely didn't know.

However, since his sister said so, he wouldn't insist.

The siblings walked and stopped, browsing around before heading home.

After returning home.

His sister Lu Ying continued to cultivate.

Lu Xuan changed his clothes and went out.

He needed a lot of money right now.

He had to convert all the resources he had into cash.

And the best place to sell these items of unknown origin was the black market.

However, Before that, Lu Xuan had to ensure the safety of the transaction.

He first contacted the Broker mentioned in the second email from his future self.

This time, he directly added the Broker's Martial Artist account.

After a few minutes.

The Broker accepted his friend request.

Lu Xuan directly stated his intention: "I want to sell items worth 100 million."

Whether it was due to shock from the information or something else, the other party replied instantly.

Broker: "Item information, no need for details, just approximate."

Lu Xuan didn't hide anything: "Two cultivation techniques, two Martial Skills, eight storage rings, 3 tons of high-grade Yao Beast flesh and blood, and twenty spirit herbs."

Broker: "Cultivation techniques? Are you trying to induce me to commit a crime? I don't sell cultivation techniques or Martial Skills. Eight storage rings, 3 tons of high-grade monster meat, spirit herbs... the value is only around 30 million. I'll take a 30% commission, and I'll help you find a buyer."

Lu Xuan: "Okay."

These items are highly recognizable.

If I sell them recently to the Martial Artist Association, the Monster Potion Company, or if Xu Youxin investigates, my identity will be easily exposed.

Going through the black market removes these concerns.

After the two agreed on the transaction location, Lu Xuan calmed his mind and turned to enter the market to buy some fresh vegetables.

Just as he was heading back, a distinct aura suddenly appeared within his mental detection range.

"Am I being followed?"

Lu Xuan frowned and turned into a small alley.

He waited quietly for a moment.

Soon, A petite figure appeared at the mouth of the alley. She walked into the alley bit by bit, swinging a chain in her hand.

Upon seeing Lu Xuan, she revealed a crazed smile. "Teehee, the little puppy's nose is quite alert~ That's not a good habit, you know."

"It's you?"

Lu Xuan looked at the petite figure before him, utterly surprised.

Because the person who had come was Jiang Xi, who had been a guest at his home yesterday.

"Brother Lu still remembers me."

Jiang Xi giggled strangely. "But I'm not a little brother like those small fry."

After saying that, Under Lu Xuan's horrified gaze, Jiang Xi pulled out a section of a chain covered in filth from her small mouth with a shlurp.

"Mmm~ Big brother, don't blame me, okay."
