“The strongest paywall system?”

Feng Yin was stunned as he listened to the mechanical voice in his mind. For some reason, he suddenly had a bad feeling. As expected, the next moment, the details of the system appeared in his mind.

The strongest paywall system, as the name suggested, could become stronger as long as one paid. It was simply a complete Huateng system.

Paywall? No, he wouldn’t cheat! Feng Yin thought to himself. Then, he opened the system’s personal interface in the next second.

[Name: Feng Yin]

[Realm: Martial Apprentice Level Six]

[Spirit: 12]

[Vitality: 600]

[Martial Skill: Basic Grappling, Body Forging Technique (Introductory)]

A very simple personal interface appeared in front of him. Feng Yin looked around at the reactions of the students around him. He realized that they could not see the interface that was spread out in midair at all. They were still doing what they were doing.

After confirming this, Feng Yin’s heart relaxed further. His gaze returned to his personal interface and he carefully studied every option. Through his daily routine research, Feng Yin discovered two hidden functions of this person’s interface.

One was that other than his name and realm, there were other options. If his gaze landed on it for more than three seconds, a small “+” would appear.

Feng Yin knew very well what this “+” was trying to do.

This system was already called the strongest paywall system, so this additional symbol was naturally used to pay. It was just that he did not know how much he could increase in one go. In his heart, he was calculating if his small treasury could withstand the test of the system.

Feng Yin looked down again. The words “Loading failed” appeared after the five options. If there were only these five options in the entire system, then what appeared in front of Feng Yin should be at the bottom, not the words “Loading failed” that he was looking at now.

The appearance of these two words could only mean that there were other things below the five points. He did not know if it was because his authority was insufficient or if it was another problem.

It was useless to think so much now. The most important thing for Feng Yin now was to successfully break through to the Martial Artist Realm before the college entrance examination.

According to the rules of the Nine Provinces, those who participated in the college entrance examination were not yet at the Martial Artist Realm. They had to be reassigned to the later stages or study for another year.

For example, Feng Yin’s personality was included in the special regulations. If a Martial Apprentice wanted to break through to Martial Artist, they needed to increase their strength in two aspects. They were Vitality and Spirit.

Most of the martial artists who broke through to the most basic realm would only increase their realm after breaking through. There was nothing else.

Most martial artists had reached Vitality and lacked Spirit.

Only Feng Yin was the opposite.

If a Martial Apprentice wanted to break through to Martial Artist, they needed to have 1000 Vitality and 10 Spirit.

Feng Yin looked like he only had 400 points left, but the 600 points of Vitality he had now had only increased so much after entering high school for nearly three years. To him, it was almost impossible to increase his Vitality by 400 points in the remaining few months.

Fortunately, the arrival of the system gave Feng Yin a glimmer of hope of breaking through to become a martial artist before the college entrance examination.

In this world, martial skills could also be called martial arts. They were mostly divided into six realms, namely Introductory, Lesser Mastery, Great Mastery, Perfection, Pinnacle, and finally Return to Nature.

Feng Yin’s current body forging technique would take him two and a half years to reach the introductory level. From this, it could be seen that Feng Yin’s talent in martial dao was truly mediocre.

“Hey, what are you thinking about?” Xiao Yu slapped Feng Yin’s shoulder. Looking at Feng Yin’s appearance, he could not help but feel a little worried.

As a good friend of Feng Yin, Xiao Yu knew best how hard Feng Yin worked, or how much he wanted to become a martial artist. When he saw Feng Yin’s expression, he thought that it was because of what Ye Chen had said earlier. He felt a little sad.

Unexpectedly, Feng Yin only shook his head when he heard Xiao Yu’s words of comfort. He said softly, “I’m fine. I just suddenly thought of the path of martial arts. It’s like climbing a mountain. Even those who reached the Martial Artist Realm first are only at the foot of this mountain.”

Six hundred years ago, countless black holes suddenly appeared in the sky above the Planet Cerulean Water. Those black holes were connected to the world where all races existed. In the beginning, there were no martial arts experts on Planet Cerulean Water. Those races entered like it was no one’s territory and regarded humans as food.

In the year 021 of the Martial Arts Calendar, a human expert comprehended a peerless cultivation technique from the ancient books and defeated all the races in one go, forcing them out of the Planet Cerulean Water.

Later on, with the efforts of one martial arts expert after another, they finally built a barrier between Planet Cerulean Water and the black holes of the myriad races. This barrier blocked the myriad races outside, making the sky of Planet Cerulean Water not look like it was filled with black holes.

Now, there would occasionally be black holes opening on the surface of the Planet Cerulean Water. These black holes were connected to the myriad races, but the experts of the myriad races could not step out of these black holes.

If those experts wanted to step onto the Planet Cerulean Water, they could only attack from the Myriad Races’ Battlefield above the Planet Cerulean Water.

Under the leadership of countless martial arts experts and seniors, Planet Cerulean Water quickly developed into a martial arts world.

On the path of martial arts, the Martial Apprentice was the lowest level. It was also the basic stage of tempering one’s muscles, blood, and energy.

The predecessors divided the Martial Apprentice Realm into nine levels according to the level of their blood and energy. Therefore, the Martial Apprentice Realm was also called the Nine Levels of the Martial Apprentice Realm.

After Martial Apprentice, according to what Feng Yin knew, there were six other realms: Martial Artist, Martial Master, Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster, Warrior, Marquis, and King.

After this, it was said that there were even higher realms. But Langya City was a remote city area in the Nine Provinces, so Feng Yin’s knowledge was limited. He didn’t know that much.

“You’re right.” Xiao Yu did not know what Feng Yin was thinking at this moment. He first played along with the words before changing the topic. “But when did you become like this?” Tell me, did Ye Chen’s words just now make you uncomfortable?”

Xiao Yu leaned closer to Feng Yin and said mysteriously, “If you’re right, tell me. I’ll get someone to put a gunnysack on him tonight!”

“Only you can think of such a method.” Feng Yin reached out and pressed his hand on Xiao Yu’s forehead, pushing him away. Suddenly, Feng Yin remembered that this Strongest Paywall System seemed to require a lot of money. “If you really want to comfort me, why don’t you choose to use money to kill me?”

Xiao Yu’s family background was extremely good. When Ye Chen came to provoke him previously, Xiao Yu had asked Feng Yin if he wanted him to get a few bottles of medicinal pills for Feng Yin to break through to the Martial Artist Realm first.

At that time, let’s see how Ye Chen would use this to mock Feng Yin.

As soon as Xiao Yu mentioned this method, it was rejected by Feng Yin. Pills could help people break through realms, but if one didn’t buy a Perfect Grade pill, it would leave pill poison in the body. If there was too much pill poison, there would be no way to break through.

Feng Yin had never used this method in the past, nor would he use it now. He would only choose to take it unless he had a Perfect Grade pill.

“You finally figured it out, kid?” When Xiao Yu heard Feng Yin’s intention to borrow money, he subconsciously thought that Feng Yin was finally prepared to use medicinal pills to break through. Without thinking, he showed his wrist. “Quick, quick, quick. Turn on your A.I. Holo-Brain and I’ll transfer the money to you.”

Feng Yin was stunned for a moment, but he still helped Xiao Yu by revealing his left wrist. His right hand tapped on it, and a faint blue light screen appeared in front of Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu operated his Holo-Brain.

Not long after, a million credits appeared on Feng Yin’s Holo-Brain.
