Divine Firmament Palace

After Lin Yan and the others left, Ye Cang went to the audiovisual room on the second floor.

"My Warrior status should be ready by now, right?"

He murmured, looking at the massive two-hundred-inch screen on the wall before typing in the website address: "Divine Firmament Palace."

"Beep."

After verifying his fingerprint, the next moment, his personal page popped up.

It displayed his photo and some information.

Name: Ye Cang

Gender: Male

Address: Vermilion Bird King City - Crimson Cloud City

Warrior ID Number:

Level: Warrior (Intermediate)

Contribution Points: 0

Currency Balance: Huaxia Coins

The startup funds promised by Wang Xu had arrived.

At the same time, there were two new email notifications.

Swish!

Ye Cang tapped the touchscreen and opened his inbox.

He casually browsed through them, finding one from Wang Xu's assistant, explaining the usage and introduction of the funds he received and the secret manuals he chose.

The other was a video tutorial on how to use the Divine Firmament Palace.

After carefully watching both videos, Ye Cang began to explore the various functions mentioned in the tutorial video.

He wanted to familiarize himself with the Divine Firmament Palace's internal website first.

After finishing the emails, Ye Cang opened the interface and found that the website's design was an ancient-style nine-story pavilion, with each floor offering different functions.

After a few glances, Ye Cang opened the first floor at the bottom, the 'Warrior Forum,' and began to supplement his vague knowledge.

Time ticked by, and it was already three hours later when Ye Cang had learned a lot of basic information from the forum.

"This place truly has everything."

He exclaimed, then opened the marketplace pavilion.

It was a treasure trove, filled with all sorts of Combat Skill secret manuals, cold and hot weapons, gene potions, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and more. Nothing was missing.

However...

Looking at the astonishing price tags below, Ye Cang felt that even with his fifty million Huaxia Coins startup fund, he probably couldn't even make a ripple here.

After browsing for a while, Ye Cang opened the Combat Skill section.

"Now, it's time to see the Combat Skill secret manuals of this world."

He could choose secret manuals within three hundred million Huaxia Coins.

He scrolled through the interface, finding that the Divine Firmament Martial Arts Hall's collection was very extensive.

But they were broadly divided into two types.

One was secret manuals, which were cultivation methods for Warriors of Warrior level and above to train and enhance their strength.

However, he could use his attribute points to increase his strength, so he only glanced at these secret manuals before swiping past them.

The second type was Combat Skills, which were more numerous and roughly divided into offense, defense, and speed.

The emphasis of these three aspects was self-evident.

However, few people could cultivate all three.

Because their talent was limited.

It was impossible to reach a certain level in all three aspects.

Even if there were, they would be extremely rare genius Warriors.

Looking at the descriptions of each Combat Skill, Ye Cang began to consider which ones would be suitable for him.

The most important things for him were Movement Techniques and offensive methods.

Movement Techniques could be used for escape.

Offensive methods could be used for combat.

These two were the priority.

As various detailed item classifications appeared on the huge screen, Ye Cang began to filter directly.

Soon, he found the place selling offensive secret manuals and the like.

The highest-ranked, naturally, was the spear technique Sky麟 Art by the Divine Firmament Martial Arts Hall's master, the strongest person in the Huaxia Nation, 'Li Yunxiao'.

Sky麟 Art, Category: Spear Technique. Rating: King Tier. Price: 100 Billion Huaxia Coins (Full Price), 50 Billion Huaxia Coins (Half Price, Requirement: 4-star Contribution Points)

Ranking second was a Combat Skill called Purple Flame Gold Blade.

It was also a King Tier Combat Skill, with a value comparable to Sky麟 Art.

Third was a Movement Technique called Phantom Empty Moon.

Ye Cang continued to look down until the sixth item, which was a Sword Technique.

Aurora Sword Wings, Category: Sword Technique. Rating: King Tier. Price: 100 Billion Huaxia Coins (Full Price), 50 Billion Huaxia Coins (Half Price, Requirement: 4-star Contribution Points)

This manual ranked sixth.

Ye Cang tapped the touchscreen, and more detailed introductions appeared.

"This is a sword art from Ancient Civilization Relic No. 8, rated King Tier. It is extremely difficult to cultivate and very hard to get started. Warriors, please choose wisely..."

After reading the description, Ye Cang smiled faintly.

"According to my contract with the Divine Firmament Martial Arts Hall, I can ignore the contribution point restriction for my first purchase and buy it at the best price."

"Besides, if I'm going to cultivate, I'll cultivate the strongest. With the system backing me up, I can master even the most difficult manuals with ease."

Without hesitation, Ye Cang confirmed the Combat Skill he would be practicing.

Having made up his mind, he opened the purchase interface to check the price.

Aurora Sword Wings First Level -- Price: 10 Million Huaxia Coins (Full Price), 5 Million Huaxia Coins (Half Price, Requirement: 1-star Contribution Points)

Aurora Sword Wings First Four Levels -- Price: 600 Million Huaxia Coins (Full Price), 300 Million Huaxia Coins (Half Price, Requirement: 2-star Contribution Points)

After reviewing the prices, Ye Cang tapped the screen.

"Please confirm if you wish to purchase the first four levels of Aurora Sword Wings. The cost is 300 Million Huaxia Coins!"

A prompt appeared on the large screen.

He had a discount, so naturally, he would buy it at half price without being restricted by contribution points.

"Confirm!"

Ye Cang clicked.

A moment later, the transaction was complete, and a message notification appeared.

"The first four levels of the Aurora Sword Wings manual will be delivered to Mr. Ye Cang's home within 24 hours."

After selecting his Combat Skill, Ye Cang opened the Weapon Pavilion.

The second-tier God Slaying Sword he had used before was no longer powerful enough.

Now that his strength had improved again, and with 50 Million Huaxia Coins in startup capital, he wanted to get a better weapon.

Soon, he found the long swords from the 'Godslayer Series'.

Godslayer Series, Tier 5 Quality: Price: 6 Million Huaxia Coins (Full Price), 3 Million Huaxia Coins (Half Price, Requirement: 1-star Contribution Points)

Godslayer Series, Tier 6 Quality: Price: 20 Million Huaxia Coins (Full Price), 10 Million Huaxia Coins (Half Price, Requirement: 1-star Contribution Points)

Reading the weapon descriptions up to this point, Ye Cang frowned.

1-star Contribution Points, which meant contribution points.

According to the Divine Firmament Martial Arts Hall's standard of 10,000 Huaxia Coins to 1 contribution point, that would require 100 Million Huaxia Coins.

His startup capital was only 50 Million, which was not enough.

Furthermore, the contribution point restriction waiver only applied to manuals, not equipment like weapons.

After pondering for a moment, Ye Cang began to look at other equipment.

"Shields?"

A list appeared. Ye Cang glanced at the prices and immediately skipped it.

"The best defense is offense. Shields are useless to me."

He continued to browse, and soon, he clicked on the 'Combat Suit' page.

In battles against monsters, Combat Suits were very important.

These items not only had high defense but were also comfortable to wear, not hindering a Warrior's quick dodges and movements.

Although a Warrior's physical defense increased with their cultivation level, it was still far inferior to a truly professional 'Combat Suit'.

A Beginner Martial Artist wearing a Tier 4 'Combat Suit' could withstand two or three attacks from a Junior General.

However, without a 'Combat Suit', a Junior General's punch would likely shatter a Beginner Martial Artist into pieces.

Given such a huge gap in cultivation, the effect of 'Combat Suits' was astonishing.

Among warriors of the same tier, without the help of a 'Combat Suit', they would be completely dominated by their enemies.

Looking at the 'Combat Suit' description, shock flashed in Ye Cang's eyes.

"A Tier 5 Combat Suit that can withstand attacks from an Intermediate Beast General, along with a helmet, arm guards, boots, and other complete set pieces, costs a full 20 Million Huaxia Coins. For Tier 6, the full price is a staggering 100 Million Huaxia Coins."
