Permanent Martial Arts Chapter 213 - Summons of Sages

Chapter 213: Summons of Sages

“Qualifying rounds have ended. Lin Feng has attained the first place in the Global Martial Arts Compet.i.tion!”

When the Deputy Dean of the Polar Academy announced the results, the name Lin Feng would probably spread throughout the entire human society. From today onwards, Lin Feng would be known to everyone.

Mr. and Mrs. Lin cried tears of joy. In the past, they had tried everything they could in the hopes of producing an inhuman expert in the Lin Family, even going so far as to send off their second son to train in the army.

However, in the end, it was their third son, Lin Feng, who they had been least optimistic about and who had been plagued by a strange illness since he was young, that gave them hope, and eventually broke the genetic lock to become an inhuman expert.

And now, Lin Feng was the center of attention worldwide, becoming the undisputed number one genius!

As long as Lin Feng was alive, the rise of the Lin family would be unstoppable.

Looking at Lin Feng, who was revolved around by a crowd in reverence, Qu Chen could not help but sigh slightly. Had Lin Feng grown to such an extent in the short span of a year?

However, she was still sincerely happy for Lin Feng.

Lin Feng became the biggest dark horse in the Global Martial Arts Compet.i.tion, and was a dark horse till the very end, becoming the final winner. The Global Martial Arts Compet.i.tion also came to a successful conclusion.

The five major factions were rather satisfied with this compet.i.tion, because this martial arts compet.i.tion had already set off a craze for everyone to discuss martial arts. In particular, the devastating power displayed by the partic.i.p.ating martial artists in battle had simply overturned the past perception of many ordinary people.

They seemed to realize only then that martial artists could attain power of such levels.

One could imagine that in the next year or even several years, there would definitely be a martial arts craze. As for how to grasp this craze and push the entire society to enter the martial arts era, that would be up to the five major factions.

Lin Feng also obtained 10,000 merit value. This was the most direct reward. There were also some implicit things. For example, countless merchants wanted to get Lin Feng to endorse their products, but Lin Feng rejected them all.

Moreover, the Nine Sages actually wanted to summon the top ten martial artists of this martial arts compet.i.tion alone. Hence, Lin Feng could not leave the Polar City for the time being.

Mo Lei congratulated Lin Feng. He was also the Chief Commander of the North Mountain Base, and could not leave the base for long, so he could only bid farewell and leave.

There were also Hao s.h.i.+yi and Xia Laogui. Hao s.h.i.+yi and Xia Laogui were obviously very satisfied with Lin Feng. In particular, Xia Laogui’s gaze seemed capable of seeing through Lin Feng. His stare made Lin Feng a little uncomfortable.

The Polar City quickly became much quieter, but there were still people who lingered in the Polar City. Making a trip to the Polar City was a rare occasion, so they might as well admire the scenery and treat it as a vacation.

At this moment, Lin Feng, Griman, Fu Lin, and the other seven martial artists were all staying nervously in a conference room in the Polar Academy. They were all waiting for the personal summons of the Nine Sages.

These were the Nine Sages. Even though they were all outstanding among some Metamorphic Realm martial artists, they still could not remain calm when facing the Nine Sages. They would be rather agitated.

Lin Feng, on the other hand, keenly sensed that there was probably more going on than the Nine Sages summoning them alone. Even Longbetham could not find any clues about the reason behind the Global Martial Arts Compet.i.tion on the network.

All the evidence pointed to the Nine Sages. Perhaps the Nine Sages would reveal the true reason behind the Global Martial Arts Compet.i.tion during this summons.

Hence, Lin Feng appeared very calm.

In the conference room, they were actually divided into a few small groups. For example, Lin Feng and Griman were ranked highly, so the two of them appeared rather close.

Fu Lin was gathered with some female martial artists, and the remaining martial artists gathered with each other.​​

Griman frowned and said in a low voice, “Lin Feng, I’m afraid the summons of the Nine Sages isn’t that simple. Originally, I didn’t want to partic.i.p.ate in this martial arts compet.i.tion, but later on, I received some secret news that the Nine Sages value this martial arts compet.i.tion very much. It’s why I came to partic.i.p.ate in the martial arts compet.i.tion. The Nine Sages probably did not keep us behind alone for something as simple as summons.”

Lin Feng was a little surprised. Even Griman sensed that something was up?

“I have the same doubts. However, the Nine Sages are the pillars of humanity. There shouldn’t be any conspiracy.”

Indeed, Lin Feng was confident in the Nine Sages, especially the Invincible Fist Sage and Elder Kang. Lin Feng knew the Invincible Fist Sage the best. The Invincible Fist Sage would not harm him.

As for Elder Kang, he was the first Sage to undergo four life transitions in human society and pointed out a martial path for all martial artists. He was fully dedicated to humanity, and would never have any selfish motives.

Moreover, how could the Nine Sages have any schemes against ten mere Metamorphic Realm martial artists?

A conspiracy was impossible. So why did the Nine Sages keep them here?

Just as all the martial artists were speculating, the Nine Sages cast their projections. Nine more projections appeared in the s.p.a.cious conference room at once.

From the cast projections of the Nine Sages, most of the Sages had cold expressions, but for some reason, Lin Feng looked at the Invincible Fist Sage. He had a feeling that the Invincible Fist Sage’s gaze revealed satisfaction with him.

The Invincible Fist Sage was indeed very satisfied with Lin Feng. Lin Feng had captured the limelight in the Global Martial Arts Compet.i.tion, which was equivalent to Myriad Academy capturing the limelight.

How many years had it been? In every martial arts compet.i.tion between the three major academies, the Myriad Academy was always at the bottom.

This time, Myriad Academy could be considered to have made a comeback. On a larger stage, not only had Myriad Academy made a comeback, Lin Feng, a student from the Myriad Academy, had also obtained first place!

This allowed the Invincible Fist Sage to really gain face in front of the other Sages.

Sage Kang swept his gaze over them. His expression appeared very amiable as he said in a calm tone, “Congratulations on ranking in the top spots in the Global Martial Arts Compet.i.tion. You are the most outstanding individuals among Metamorphic Realm martial artists. Apart from expanding the visibility of martial artists and raising the status of martial artists in tandem with the new policy for martial artists, there is actually another very important reason for holding this Global Martial Arts Compet.i.tion.”

Everyone held their breaths and stared intently at Sage Kang.

“There’s another very important reason. The Nine Sages, and even all of us humanity, need help from the ten of you!”

Sage Kang’s words surprised Lin Feng and the others.

How could dignified Sages need the help of ten mere Metamorphic Realm martial artists such as themselves?

Not to mention that it had risen to the level of all of humanity. If not for the solemn expressions of the Nine Sages, they would have thought that Sage Kang was joking.

But was this a joke?

Lin Feng and Griman looked at each other. Griman was a top genius of the previous generation, after all. Hence, he asked respectfully, “Sage Kang, what do you and the other Sages require us to do?”

At this point, it was obvious that the Nine Sages had summoned them to do something. However, if even Sages needed help, what could Metamorphic Realm martial artists like them do?
