Chapter 7

If it weren't for Wei Xiaobao's outrageous luck as the protagonist of the "Deer and the Cauldron" world, such a scoundrel would have died countless times. Chen Mo didn't hesitate for a moment to kill them to save himself. He wasn't a selfless or desire-free person. If he were asked to kill good people, he might not be able to do it, but as a pseudo-angry youth who aimlessly browsed the internet, he found it quite normal to kill Emperor Kangxi and Wei Xiaobao.

Chen Jinnan and a few others discussed for a while and decided that Old Xu would go first to make the necessary arrangements the next day, and the day after that, Chen Mo would disguise himself as Keluodo to serve as a guard in the palace. After the discussion, Chen Jinnan had someone take Chen Mo to the guest room to rest.

Lying on the wooden bed, Chen Mo called up the Controller screen and looked at the list of exchange items. He suddenly noticed that there were no technological products on the list. His eyes followed each item, and he paused when he saw a martial arts technique.

"Beiming Zhenjing, a supreme martial arts technique, requiring 1 billion martial arts points. What's this? Is this Beiming Zhenjing related to the Beiming Shen Gong?" Chen Mo asked after reading it.

The Controller didn't answer but quickly switched the screen to another section. Chen Mo saw that the Beiming Shen Gong was a top-tier immortal-level technique, with a note saying it was a fragment of the Beiming Zhenjing. He understood the meaning without the Controller's explanation.

In the miscellaneous exchange items, there were food and treasures, but Chen Mo, who was always short of money, only glanced at them casually. When life is constantly in danger, wealth becomes a true external possession. He sighed and turned off the screen. From the time he obtained the Martial World Gate to now, it had been less than a day, yet he had already transformed from a worker to a person who could kill without feeling alarmed.

Chen Mo felt very tired, not because the afternoon's travel and killing had exhausted him, but because before obtaining the Martial World Gate, he had already spent a day moving bricks and washing hundreds of dishes. Without a nap, he was teleported to the "Deer and the Cauldron" world. He didn't continue to explore the secrets within the Martial World Gate. As it was not yet the hour of the Pig, he had already fallen into a deep sleep.

In his dream, Chen Mo saw himself becoming a supreme master, dominating the future city. The large amounts of gold and jewels made him a super-rich man, and the beauties in his arms made him feel that life could not be more blissful.

He didn't know that when he returned home after obtaining the Martial World Gate, the remaining black-clad man, who had fought with the middle-aged man, was observing his house from the rooftop of a building nearby, holding a communicator to contact someone.

The crisis was approaching the real Chen Mo, while he was just starting in the "Deer and the Cauldron" world. The transition from seeing killings to committing them himself made the young man fall into a state of confusion. The bodies and severed heads that kept appearing in his dreams had piled up into a mountain. Standing on the mountain of corpses, looking at the endless sea of blood, Chen Mo felt fear and helplessness.

"Ah..."

When the dream returned to the real city, he dreamed of being caught by countless white-coated people, with sharp surgical knives cutting his body, even his brain and organs being removed and placed in glass bottles. When he dreamed of a pair of evil eyes staring at him, he couldn't help but scream and sit up in bed.

"Breath... breath..."

The rapid breathing made it hard for him to calm down for a while. He looked out the latticed window, which was still pitch black. Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Chen Mo called up the Controller and asked:

"Is the 'Deer and the Cauldung' world a virtual world or a parallel fantasy universe like the main god's world?"

The Controller calmly replied:

"What is real, what is false? I have read your memories. Like the main god's explanation, the world is infinite, and everything that can appear is real. The Martial World Gate opens worlds synchronized with novels, and the people in these worlds are real. They just develop differently from your real world. If you can reach or surpass the Venerable realm, you will understand everything."

"Does the Martial World Gate have countless teammates and teams like the Infinite Novels?" Chen Mo asked again, his mood slightly more stable.

If there were teammates and opposing teams, Chen Mo would have to consider more things, otherwise, the future path would be even harder. The Controller answered:

"The Martial World Gate is not a survival and combat mission system in low-level worlds like the main god. The Martial World Gate is unique and cannot be replicated. Everything will be known when you have the ability. Martial cultivation is about battling heaven and earth. Remember, combat is the only standard for martial artists. Missions are just to give you a goal to cultivate."

Chen Mo seemed to understand something. The Martial World Gate was more powerful than the main god and the missions it set were just to give the chosen ones a goal, more importantly, to make them fight constantly.

The Martial World Gate was not afraid of the chosen ones bringing things from other worlds to the real world, meaning it was not afraid of affecting the development of the world, nor did it care about the power of the world. In this regard, the Martial World Gate was indeed far more powerful than the main god's infinite world.

The next morning, Old Xu went early to contact his brothers under Dolong, while Chen Jinnan began to guide Chen Mo's cultivation. Upon discovering that Chen Mo had already successfully cultivated the Xuan Yu Gong and Po Yu Shou, he was amazed by his disciple.

To cultivate an internal martial arts technique, even a genius would need several days to develop a sense of qi, and it would take at least a year to complete the circulation of qi. As for martial arts techniques, the Po Yu Shou has only five moves and thirty-five variations, but it would take more than ten days to learn.

Chen Mo's Po Yu Shou had already reached the beginner level, and his practice with Chen Jinnan was quite impressive. He could adapt his moves and variations, which was far superior to a beginner who only knew the basic moves.

After half a day, Chen Jinnan was surprised to find that Chen Mo's reaction was almost that of a martial artist with four to five years of experience. Although he had taught Chen Mo some simple martial arts before, he hadn't realized that Chen Mo had a talent for martial arts. Chen Mo, however, had no such talent; it was all due to the Martial World Gate thoroughly implanting the use of the Po Yu Shou.

After practicing for the whole morning, Chen Jinnan, looking at the sweating and panting Chen Mo, said:

"Good, very good. With your talent, I feel more at ease sending you to the palace. However, practice is not as effective as combat. More battles will improve your martial skills faster."
