Background
The Martial Dao System binds to Lin Feng after it detects his determination to survive upon registering for Northern Territory service. Its initial guidance states that killing Exotic Beasts grants Martial Dao Points, which may be freely allocated. 1
Lin Feng first receives documented Martial Path Points by participating in the kill of an F-Class Iron-Armored Demon Wolf. The system awards 1 point and displays a current balance of 2. 3 From then on, the points become the foundation of his growth: he hunts Exotic Beasts, accumulates points, and converts them directly into immediate combat power. 3 6
Functions
Acquisition
Martial Path Points are primarily awarded when Exotic Beasts are killed.
- F-Class kills can award 1 point, while stronger F-Class beasts can award 3 points. 3 5
- E-Class examples include 50 points for an Iron-Armored Centipede and 80 points for a Black-Armored Spider King. 28
- D-Class Iron-Armored Mad Rhinos award 200 points each. 29
- C-Class rewards vary by creature; Dark-Scaled Giant Lizards award 500 points each, while Iron-Spined Earth Dragons can award 800 each. 46
- B-Class Iron-Spined Earth Dragons award 2,000 points each. 77
- A-Class Red-Armored Fire Lizards and Dark Rock Tusk Beasts award 10,000 points each. 115
- S-Class sea beasts can award 50,000 points each. 219
Higher individual strength and beast classification generally produce greater rewards, though rewards are not fixed solely by rank. 5 28 46
Allocation
Points can be assigned through the System Panel to several forms of advancement.
- Realm advancement — Directly increases Lin Feng’s martial realm, including breakthroughs that normally require insight or prolonged cultivation. 3 31
- Cultivation arts and martial skills — Improves techniques such as Basic Body Tempering Art, Mountain-Breaking Slash, Lost Trace Step, and Indestructible Golden Body Art. 2 31 73
- Mental and psychic power — Raises Mental stats and psychic rank; Lin Feng awakens as a First-Rank Psychokinetic Master by spending all available points under threat from Uncle Fu. 27
- Weapon restoration — Repairs broken spirit patterns on the damaged A-Rank Mountain Splitter for 50 points. 15
Controlled-Beast Income
Kills by Lin Feng’s controlled Exotic Beasts also generate Martial Path Points.
- Iron Rhinoceros — Its kills in C- and D-Rank Rifts are credited to Lin Feng, enabling simultaneous combat and “AFK” farming. 77 82
- Fierce Vulture — Continues producing idle-grinding income alongside the Iron Rhinoceros. 183 221
- Nether Flood Dragon — Its sea-beast kills contribute points; Lin Feng has it expel swallowed carcasses so their rewards can be settled by the system. 219 221
- Other controlled beasts — The system also records controlled-beast kills during the Poison Gu Beast massacre. 202
Scaling and Limits
- Realm costs rise sharply with advancement, progressing from tens of points at Martial Disciple rank to millions at Martial Venerable and Martial Saint levels. 3 6 153 157
- From Martial Saint Fifth Stage onward, each further stage requires points in the tens of millions. 201
- Martial Path Points remain Lin Feng’s principal bottleneck because his spending rate can outpace his acquisition rate. 201
- Lin Feng can spend his entire balance at once; doing so reduced his balance to zero when he awakened psychic power. 27
Relationships
- Lin Feng — Bound host and primary user; he earns points through killing Exotic Beasts and allocates them through the Martial Dao System. 1 3
- Martial Dao System — The interface that tracks balances, awards kill credit, presents upgrade options, and executes allocations. 1 2
- Iron Rhinoceros — Controlled beast whose Rift-clearing kills create a major secondary point-income stream. 77 82
- Fierce Vulture — Controlled beast that contributes continuous idle-grinding income alongside the Iron Rhinoceros. 183 221
- Nether Flood Dragon — Controlled beast whose sea-beast kills can be processed into Martial Path Points. 219 221
Trivia
- The System initially uses the term “Martial Dao Points,” while later displays and narration use “Martial Path Points.” 1 2
- Lin Feng considers Rifts ideal for farming because their Exotic Beasts spawn on fixed schedules, occur in dense concentrations, and are comparatively predictable. 28
- The largest displayed balance in the documented material is 1,370,000,000 points, accumulated after Lin Feng slaughters Skyhorn Clan forces, war beasts, and a commander. 248
