Chapter 102 - 102 101 Martial Hall

102: Chapter 101 Martial Hall 102: Chapter 101 Martial Hall Lin Xuan naturally didn’t know how much the death of the four Black Robed Men had shocked the Demon Clan, as he had already returned to Beiwei City.

Teams of soldiers in black armor surrounded them, their expressions filled with gratitude.

Only then did Lin Xuan and the others realize that the middle-aged man they had rescued was a renowned medical sage in Yunzhou.

They had also heard of this medical sage.

Although his cultivation was modest, only at the Mystical Realm, his medical skills were incredibly profound, especially in detoxification.

Many martial artists had sought his treatment, and he never turned away anyone.

Over time, his medical reputation spread throughout Yunzhou.

First, Sun Wenyi assured the soldiers that he would do his best to treat the Great General, then he bowed in thanks to Lin Xuan and the others, mentioning that once things stabilized, he would give them some herbs as a reward.

Before long, General Zeng returned with his men.

Even before entering the city, his hearty laughter could be heard.

“You young heroes indeed saved Sun Shengshou and inflicted heavy damage on the Demon Clan!” General Zeng said to Lin Xuan and the rest, “First, let me express the gratitude of all the brothers in the army to you.”

“You are too kind, General!” We, as citizens of Xia Country, should do these things.

Lin Xuan and his companions quickly interjected, for they couldn’t accept such a deep bow from a Spirit Sea Realm General.

Would you gentlemen like to rest for a few days?

I’ll first take Sun Shengshou to visit the General!

General Zeng excitedly said.

Afterward, General Zeng quickly left with Sun Wenyi and the others…

Three days later, General Zeng summoned Lin Xuan and the others.

General Zeng was not wearing armor but a wide green robe that concealed his majestic figure.

He sat grandly, a golden saber by his side, with the elegant Sun Shengshou beside him.

“How is the Great General’s injury?” asked Lin Xuan and the others, concerned.

“Thanks to Sun Shengshou’s treatment, he is now out of danger and only needs some time to fully recover!” General Zeng laughed heartily.

“This time, we owe a lot to all of you.

Without your help, the Great General’s recovery wouldn’t have been this quick.

Among you, Young Hero Lin’s performance was particularly astounding, so the greatest reward goes to Young Hero Lin.

No objections, right?”

Everyone shook their heads.

Lin Xuan’s performance was indeed outstanding, especially in the eyes of Feng Bufan and others, who were deeply grateful.

Even Hu Man, the highest-cultivated martial artist among them, had no objections, let alone the others.

Even Fan Chong only frowned slightly, not daring to raise any objections.

“Very well, I will first reward Young Hero Lin,” said General Zeng.

“The military has awarded you 100 battle points and a special military merit token.”

Saying that, General Zeng waved his large hand and handed a silver token to Lin Xuan.

It recorded your battle merits.

You can present this token at any Martial Hall in Xia Country.

Lin Xuan expressed his thanks and then tucked away the token.

Beside him, Sun Shengshou, with a beaming smile, said, “Young Hero Lin, to thank you for saving my life, you may choose two spirit herbs from me.”

Lin Xuan pondered for a moment, consulted Lord of Wine in his mind, and then named two spirit herbs.

“Red Spirit Flower and Green Moon Root.”

Sun Shengshou looked at Lin Xuan with surprise and then flicked his ring, sending the two herbs flying towards Lin Xuan.

After receiving the herbs, Lin Xuan stood aside with a smile, and the others began to receive their rewards.

Among them, Hu Man had earned eighty battle points, Feng Bufan and Fan Chong each earned sixty, and the rest had also gained varying amounts of battle merit.

It wasn’t long before everyone had collected their rewards, and Lin Xuan followed them out.

“Brother Lin, there is a Martial Hall in Beiwei City, would you like to take a look?” Feng Bufan asked.

“Sure,” Lin Xuan replied, following Feng Bufan and Hu Man towards the Martial Hall.

The Martial Hall was similar to the Martial Arts Pavilion of the sect, but it was even more strictly guarded.

It not only had a Protecting Formation but also many masters stationed there.

Upon their arrival, they felt the scrutiny of at least three pairs of eyes.

Only after Lin Xuan and the others presented their tokens did those obscure gazes gradually disappear.

Entering the Martial Hall, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

The gazes they had just encountered felt like divine weapons, ready to shred a person to pieces.

Lin Xuan was also secretly startled; the power was sharper than his Sword Intent.

It wasn’t that the Sword Intent wasn’t strong, but Lin Xuan had only understood a fraction of it, and the owners of those gazes were all top masters, which was why he felt this way.

The Martial Hall contained not only Martial Arts Secret Manuals but also various resources related to Martial Arts.

The three of them split up temporarily to look for what they needed.

Lin Xuan glanced around and noticed that the Martial Hall was divided into several areas, the place he was in was precisely the Martial Arts Area.

As Lin Xuan observed further, he became increasingly amazed; the lowest Martial Arts in the hall were Xuan-grade, and there were also quite a few Spirit Rank Martial Arts.

In the world, Martial Arts were categorized into the five levels: Yellow, Xuan, Spirit, Earth, and Heaven.

As for what lies beyond Heaven Rank, almost nobody knows.

Both Earth Rank and Heaven Rank were nearly unseen, so Spirit Martial Arts were considered quite high-level.

Spirit Rank Martial Arts were also divided into low, middle, and high levels, with different battle points required for each, and even within the same level, some required different points.

For instance, a Spirit Rank Swordsmanship required more points than a Spirit Rank Body Refinement Martial Art.

Lin Xuan saw that the battle points for low-level Spiritual Martial Arts generally ranged from one hundred fifty to three hundred.

Middle-level Spirit Rank ranged upwards of three hundred, while high-level Spirit Rank reached over a thousand, frighteningly high.

Lin Xuan shook his head and focused on the low-level Spirit Martial Arts; entering the Martial Hall was not easy, as these battle points were exchanged with his life, and such a mission was hard to come by again.

Most importantly, his Silver Token had a one-time usage opportunity for a discount within a year; Spirit Rank Martial Arts could also enjoy a 20% discount.

His one hundred battle points, along with an additional thirty gained from Refining, were just enough to exchange for a low-level Spirit Rank Martial Art.

“What should I choose?” Lin Xuan hesitated, suspecting that even core disciples of the Xuantian Sect might not have access to Spirit Rank Martial Arts.

“How about picking something related to the soul?” Lord of Wine suggested.

“This Martial Hall belongs to the Xia Country’s collection; it must be rich.

There might be soul-related Martial Arts here.”

Lin Xuan nodded and began searching for soul-related Martial Arts.

It must be said, soul-related arts were really niche; most here were related to fists, kicks, swords, and sabers.

After a long search, he found only two soul-related arts.

One was Illusion Technique Seven Seals and the other was Purple Spirit Eyes.

Both martial arts had only a synopsis and did not include the actual content.

Lin Xuan took the synopses of the two techniques into his hands, carefully examining them.

Illusion Technique Seven Seals, used the power of the soul to create illusions, causing the enemy to lose their sense of self and sealing their senses.

It required a powerful soul and a certain Array.

Purple Spirit Eyes, a low-level Spirit Rank Martial Art, utilized powerful Soul Power in combination with a special Secret Technique to execute Pupil Skill, allowing for insight, Illusion Hypnosis, and other attack methods.

When trained to Great Success, there was a certain chance to control the opponent and enslave them.
