Chapter 75

The Element Merchant Alliance also has ancient ruins?

Lin Feng was quite astonished.

"There's no need to be so surprised." Lei Gang patted Lin Feng's shoulder, "The power of the Element Merchant Alliance is much greater than you can imagine, but..." Lei Gang hesitated and then laughed, "Alright, let's not talk about it too much. You'll understand once you truly join the Element Merchant Alliance."

"Your vehicle is... a Volkswagen C7?" Lei Gang glanced over, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Eh?" Lin Feng was slightly surprised and nodded.

"Here." Lei Gang took out a crystal watch with intricate patterns, as if it were a piece of art.

Lin Feng reached out to take it, his heart greatly shaken, "Sweatblood BMW?"

"High-end A3, about 300 gold coins in the market." Lei Gang said casually, "This one was a gift from someone else, I don't need it. Also..."

Lei Gang took out a red elemental battle suit from the crystal watch, "A B3-grade antimony alloy elemental battle suit, my old battle suit. Change into this one." Lei Gang's voice carried a hint of helplessness; a genius who could defeat Huang Shang in a direct battle was actually still wearing an E9 elemental battle suit.

Lin Feng was somewhat dazed.

A B3-grade elemental battle suit costs a full 800 gold coins in the market.

This antimony alloy elemental battle suit, aside from some minor wear, was largely intact. Even if it were resold, it could fetch at least 500 gold coins.

"Your battle points for cultivation are probably not enough, right?" Lei Gang took out a golden crystal card, "There are some battle points on this card. Buy whatever heart techniques or martial techniques you like. These three items are a welcome gift from Brother Lei. Soon, we will be one family."

A welcome gift?

Lin Feng didn't know what his expression was at that moment.

This welcome gift was too astonishing...

...

Even after Lei Gang left, Lin Feng was still in a daze.

A high-end A3 Sweatblood BMW worth 300 gold coins, even Mentor Yue Meng's A6 Sweatblood BMW only cost 100 gold coins. A B3-grade elemental battle suit was even more impressive; a B-grade suit meant it could withstand the attacks of elemental beast kings. B3... it was like wearing an impenetrable bulletproof vest!

A welcome gift worth over 1000 gold coins!

Too extravagant.

Lin Feng was speechless.

"Congratulations, Lin Feng." Mentor Yue Meng's words echoed in his mind. At this moment, Lin Feng finally understood the meaning behind Mentor Yue's words and that meaningful smile.

Indeed, worthy of being an inspector of the Element Merchant Alliance.

Wealthy and powerful!

Outside the Battle Academy.

Guo Li had been waiting.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting." Lin Feng rushed over, apologetically.

There was no way to avoid it; the inspector had to see him.

"It's fine, we still have time." Guo Li pointed at the crystal watch, "We have ten minutes, enough time to get from the Battle Academy to the Sunset Martial Hall, but..." Guo Li looked at Lin Feng and shrugged, "Even if we make it... it might not be very useful. My master will probably be disappointed."

"Hmm?"

"Let's go, we'll talk in the car."

...

Guo Li's magnetic levitation car had blue and black stripes, very beautiful.

But compared to the Sweatblood BMW series, it was several levels lower, especially Lin Feng's high-end A3 Sweatblood BMW, which could almost be considered a top-tier vehicle.

"If I'm not mistaken, Brother Lin should have joined the Element Merchant Alliance, right?" Guo Li smiled.

"Yes." Lin Feng didn't hide it from Guo Li.

"I guessed as much." Guo Li looked helpless, "After all, you're the first genius of Sunset City, known as 'Emperor.' Who would have thought you would defeat him in just two moves? I can guarantee that within a day, the whole of Sunset City will be buzzing with this news."

"The Sunset Martial Hall is just a small temple, how can it accommodate a great deity like you?"

"But Brother Lin, joining the Element Merchant Alliance... this decision might be a bit hasty." Guo Li said seriously.

"Why?" Lin Feng asked curiously.

"What does Brother Lin pursue? Money, fame, or... the limits of ancient martial arts?"

"Strength." Lin Feng said two words.

He had many things he wanted to do, and the foundation for all of them was—

Strength.

"That's it." Guo Li's expression was serious, "For us ancient martial artists, what is most important for becoming stronger? Nothing but heart techniques and martial techniques." Guo Li's eyes sparkled, "The Element Merchant Alliance indeed has money, but money is not everything. Money... can't buy the truly top-tier heart techniques and martial techniques."

"For ancient martial artists who aim to become stronger, the true choice should be the four major ancient martial halls, especially—"

"The True Martial Hall."

The True Martial Hall?

Lin Feng's eyes lit up.

Judging by the name, it seemed to be related to the True Martial Emperor.

"It's also my fault for not reminding you earlier." Guo Li sighed, suddenly seeming to think of something, "Right, the inspector still needs to verify the information, it won't be that quick. Right now, it's just a verbal promise. Brother Lin, you can still change your mind. If you can enter the True Martial Hall, you might even get guidance from the True Martial Emperor. That would be a truly limitless future!"

"No, Brother Guo." Lin Feng smiled and refused.

A verbal promise is still a promise.

Even if he had to choose again, he would still join the Element Merchant Alliance.

One must remember the source of one's water.

Heart techniques and martial techniques are indeed important, but his brother had taught him from a young age that the most important thing for a true strong person is to have a—

Strong heart.

Sunset Martial Hall.

A strong ancient martial atmosphere!

As Lin Feng entered the martial hall with Guo Li, his eyes immediately brightened. There were dozens of large training grounds on both sides, filled with the air of sweat and intense fluctuations of elemental energy. The sounds of deep shouts could be heard from time to time, and the atmosphere of martial practice was very strong, with at least thousands of ancient martial artists.

Looking into the distance, there were rows of buildings, full of ancient charm, like the style of southern Chinese architecture.

Accustomed to high-tech skyscrapers, this place had a different flavor.

"Very comfortable environment." Lin Feng walked on the gravel path, the open martial hall was under the blazing sun, but it did not dampen the enthusiasm of the ancient martial artists. Compared to genetic warriors, the cultivation of ancient martial artists was much more arduous, especially the training of the body, which was not achieved overnight.

"Senior Brother." "Senior Brother Guo!" ...

Voices kept coming from around, Guo Li was also quite famous in the martial hall.

Lin Feng's gaze swept over, and he realized that many of the ancient martial artists were actually older than Guo Li, but in the martial hall, what mattered was not age, but seniority and strength.

"Who is the young man next to Senior Brother Guo? He looks unfamiliar."

"Yes, he doesn't seem to be from our Sunset Martial Hall, right?"

"Stop guessing, I'll tell you. He's the one I mentioned earlier... the challenger, his real name is 'Lin Feng'!"

...

"Damn, is that true? He's the monster who defeated Emperor in just two moves?"

"Yes, stinky fish, don't joke around. That's Emperor! The biggest favorite to win the new star tournament for those under 18 in Sunset City this year!"

"I'm not lying to you, stinky fish is telling the truth. I just came back from the academy."

...

Whispers and discussions.

The students of the ancient martial arts division of the Battle Academy, more than half of them were from the Sunset Martial Hall.

"The news spreads really fast." Lin Feng smiled.

"In a few hours, the whole of Sunset City will know." Guo Li laughed, "This time, Brother Lin, you will definitely become famous in one battle."

Famous in one battle?

Lin Feng smiled.

"Hmm?" Guo Li glanced at the crystal watch and opened a message, "Master has already arrived..." He looked up at Lin Feng and smiled, "I rarely see Master so eager, but this time, he might be disappointed."

The Element Merchant Alliance and the Sunset Martial Hall.

The gap is quite large.

"Sunset Martial Hall..." Lin Feng walked through the gravel path and entered a grand and imposing martial hall, his eyes flickering with a faint light.

Back then, he almost joined the Sunset Martial Hall.

"I wonder if Senior Old Wine Jug is easy to talk to?" Lin Feng murmured to himself.

This trip to the Sunset Martial Hall also had another purpose.
