"How do you manage it?" Qu Bai shook his head. "You think it's easy to manage because you don't know the true value of the Martial Arts Token!"
"At our level, martial arts training tokens are not exactly easy to obtain, but they are not scarce either. However, there are countless martial artists from the Mountain and Sea Realm who are queuing up to exchange for martial arts training tokens, year after year, and still not getting one... If you look into it a little, you'll know that there's no way to control this kind of thing."
He fell silent before sinking down.
Indeed, he himself had several ways to easily obtain martial arts training orders.
However, according to the regulations of the Martial Arts Department, the number of Martial Arts Tokens issued in China each year is no more than a thousand, and hundreds of them are distributed to kings and nobles alone.
Given the sheer size of the mountains and seas, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that "an order is extremely difficult to obtain."
While A-grade psionic weapons are precious, they are at least available on the market. However, before the sinking, no one had ever been heard of selling martial arts training tokens. From this perspective, the value of martial arts training tokens is probably no less than that of S-grade psionic weapons.
Shen Qian shook his head, clearing his mind of distractions, and turned his gaze back to the Tower of Myriad Images.
The fourth-level gate he is about to enter corresponds to the group of martial artists from the first to the third level of the Mountain and Sea Realm. Although Shen Qian's combat power is amazing, his true realm is still the first level of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Speaking of realms, Chen Qian's gaze towards the Myriad Manifestations Pagoda held a hint of hidden anticipation.
His mental and physical abilities successively entered the second forbidden realm, but his Yuan power was stuck.
The reason for this is the constraint of one's level of understanding.
"Life has an upper limit, and genes have shackles. The ancients called them 'divine locks.' Each lock is unlocked, and another level is crossed. The extreme of the nine locks is the end!"
These are Wu Wei's original words when he gave him guidance.
The meaning is already quite clear.
His level of cultivation was too low, which indirectly limited his breakthroughs in forbidden areas.
Normally, he should have raised his realm to the second level after simultaneously breaking through the first barrier in terms of Yuan power, physical body, and mental power.
Honestly, I've been using Yeguo Reading to read and follow my favorite books lately. It has easy source switching, multiple reading voice options, and is compatible with both Android and Apple devices. (yeguoyuedu)
Now, while his physical and mental strength have advanced, his elemental power has lagged behind, which is like a kind of unseen balance.
The Myriad Manifestations Tower is a sacred place for martial arts and the place where one can improve the fastest among all the secret realms. Shen Qian came to the Myriad Manifestations Tower this time in order to seek an opportunity to break through his realm.
Enlightenment through mountains and seas can normally only be achieved gradually; no matter how fast one tries to progress, it won't be much faster. However, the Myriad Pagoda... judging from numerous online discussions, is a place that can turn the rotten into the miraculous.
"Keep it up, junior Shenqian!"
Feng Manlin, who was accompanying Shen Qian in line, said with a grin, "If you can get past the thirtieth floor, Qu Bai will treat me to a week of French cuisine at the Jiutian Hotel!"
Shen Qian paused for a moment, then smiled at Qu Bai, whose expression was slightly unnatural, and teased, "So this is related to senior's lifelong happiness? Then I'll definitely do my best."
Feng Manlin's feelings for Qu Bai were a "secret" known to many in the Jiangzhong military, but no one expected that Qu Bai would finally realize it.
When the sinking was exposed, Feng Manlin blushed. Qu Bai coughed and said, "After all, this is your first time entering. Passing through twenty floors is enough."
"Hmph, you little brats, what do you think the Tower of Myriad Images is?"
Just then, a cold laugh suddenly came from the side, "Trying to clear the 20th floor on your first try? You must have experienced a few so-called four- or five-star secret realms at school and have no idea how big your own is!"
"Don't you know that those secret realms of martial arts academies would be completely useless scraps if placed in the Myriad Manifestations Tower?"
The group of people who were chatting and laughing all frowned and looked at the martial artist from the Mountain and Sea Realm who had spoken.
He happened to pass by Shen Qian and the others. He looked to be around forty or fifty years old. There were faint tattoos on the back of his hands and neck. A gold chain was wrapped around his neck. Although it was a high-end white suit, for some reason it looked somewhat out of place on this martial artist from the Mountain and Sea Sect.
"Hahaha……"
His words drew another burst of laughter from the group of martial artists around him, who were presumably his companions.
"It's normal for someone who's still young and inexperienced to have some wild ideas."
"How could these children, raised in a greenhouse, know anything about real danger?"
"I really envy them. They don't have to risk their lives. They just have some so-called talent and they can get a lot of resources and easily achieve great things. I wonder if they would wet their pants if I slashed them once in the forbidden zone?"
Several middle-aged martial artists from the Mountain and Sea Realm spoke up, looking at Shen Qian and the others' youthful faces with undisguised malice in their eyes.
Shen Qian was still frowning, but Bai Fei, who probably hadn't encountered these people before, sneered, "I was wondering what kind of dogs were barking. Turns out it's just a bunch of good-for-nothing old trash!"
"Kid, what did you say?!"
Those martial artists from the Mountain and Sea Realm all paled.
"Social warrior..."
At this moment, Feng Manlin had already moved close to Shen Qian and softly uttered four words, revealing the identities of these people.
Shen Qian suddenly realized something.
Besides the geniuses who emerge from martial arts academies, there is another non-mainstream group among the vast number of martial artists: those who have not undergone complete martial arts education.
Most martial artists in society lead mediocre lives, but some people can reach a higher level due to special circumstances.
According to statistics from the Martial Arts Association, the proportion of martial artists from the Mountain and Sea regions is actually quite large due to years of accumulation.
Even as far as Shen Qian knew, there was actually a typical social martial artist among the kings and nobles, namely the Marquis of Fierce Bones, Gao Zhengjie.
