Chapter 212: Fourth Rank of Martial Arts

Soon, the Fighting God finished explaining everything to the Wind God.

After converting and compressing the image data of the Wind God’s death projection using the Divine Artifact clock, the Star God sent it to the Wind God’s military tablet as a confidential file.

“Take some time to watch it carefully during your breaks. Reflecting on this feeling might bring unexpected insights.”

After Su Wen handed out the Fighting God’s sphere and the Wind God’s sphere to the two of them and gave the USB drive containing future technology to the Star God, he returned to his office.

Everyone was busy absorbing insights from the future, and he had his own tasks to focus on.

“Abilities: Mental Guidance Technique.”

【Transformation: Has reached the peak of this ability; mastery and application have reached an extraordinary level.】

【The foundational Body Refinement Technique 3.0 and Mental Guidance Technique share a certain compatibility. By spending a specific amount of Wealth Source, they can be merged to create a higher-level ability.】

As Su Wen looked at the abilities section, ideas began to form in his mind.

During his time conducting death reviews in the Theater World, he had also taken the opportunity to absorb and refine the special items from the Arrow Realm given to him by the God of Theater during his breaks.

Using these Wealth Sources, he had pushed the Mental Guidance Technique to its transformation stage.

Just as Du Baihua from the sub-timelines had said, this Mental Guidance Technique was indeed just a prototype!

Even though he had advanced the Mental Guidance Technique to its transformation stage, his martial arts realm still hadn’t progressed to a higher rank.

It seemed that merging and integrating these abilities was now essential.

While he could also directly trigger chaos in time and space to start the next timeline, he had other plans.

With the prototype of the Mental Guidance Technique in hand, along with the books on Mental Martial Arts he had brought back, and even Sun Yunwei being sent by the Star God to study martial arts theories at the National Defense University, he felt prepared.

But the letter from the Seventh Goddess of the Nine-Tails clan had left him deeply shaken.

Since every time he initiated chaos in time and space, a new sub-timeline was created, why should he hesitate to spend a few hundred or thousand Wealth Sources?

By investing some Wealth Sources to merge the Mental Guidance Technique with the foundational Body Refinement Technique 3.0, he could create a new ability.

This would lay a stronger foundation for the next sub-timeline, allowing the potential of Mental Martial Arts to flourish even more. Wouldn’t that be worth it?

【Power of Wealth Source begins to flow…】

【The foundational Body Refinement Technique 3.0 at the transformation stage starts merging with the Mental Guidance Technique under the influence of the Power of Wealth Source.】

【Merging in progress…】

【The new ability has been successfully created. Does the God of Wealth wish to name this new ability?】

Su Wen glanced at the prompt on the information panel and said softly, “Let’s call it foundational Body Refinement Technique 4.0.”

“Abilities: foundational Body Refinement Technique 3.0.”

【Transformation: Has reached the peak of this ability; mastery and application have reached an extraordinary level.】

【There is a moderate overlap between foundational Body Refinement Technique 3.0 and foundational Body Refinement Technique 4.0. You can spend Wealth Sources to replace foundational Body Refinement Technique 3.0.】

Without hesitation, Su Wen chose to replace it immediately!

He had merged the two foundational martial arts techniques precisely to replace foundational Body Refinement Technique 3.0.

“Buzz!”

Rich power of energy and blood began to form on Su Wen’s body, and his strong mental energy allowed him to control this power effortlessly.

As his mental energy merged with the power of energy and blood, Su Wen felt as if a bottleneck inside him had been shattered.

“Crack!”

A faint shattering sound marked the birth of the world’s first Fourth Rank Warrior!

At the same moment, the immense power of energy and blood and mental energy began to cleanse both Su Wen’s body and soul.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…”

The spellbook and four amulets sensed something and flew out from Su Wen’s forehead, circling around him.

Then, an energy wave of the Emperor Level radiated outward.

Under the influence of this energy wave, the disturbance from Su Wen’s breakthrough was hidden, and even some of the leaked power of energy and blood was pulled back.

Compared to the Emperor Level spellbook and amulets, the power of energy and blood from the breakthrough was still too weak.

After a while, Su Wen completed his breakthrough and slowly opened his eyes.

The spellbook and four treasures seemed to respond, retracting their energy barriers and floating around Su Wen.

“Treasures have spirits.”

Su Wen smiled at the five treasures and said, “Thank you.”

With a thought, he divided five hundred Wealth Sources into five parts and sent them into the treasures.

He realized that since the river of time valued Wealth Sources so much, they must have powerful effects he didn’t yet know about.

Besides, if Wealth Sources could nourish gold ingots and wealth-gathering pots, then nourishing the spellbook and amulets should be fine, right?

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…”

After absorbing the power of Wealth Source, the treasures glowed with a golden light.

They circled Su Wen once before returning to his sea of consciousness.

“It feels like my connection with the spellbook has grown stronger.”

Su Wen murmured after sensing it.

He knew the spellbook was an important treasure of the God of Magic.

This treasure, created by the God of Magic, could probably be taken back anytime the God of Magic wanted.

But this time, Su Wen sensed something different.

After absorbing the power of Wealth Source, the spellbook seemed… more attached to him?

It couldn’t be an illusion—after all, the power of Wealth Source was something even the river of time desired.

“Life Form: Fourth Rank.”

Su Wen smiled as he checked his Life Form level.

Even though he was now the third strongest in the organization thanks to the spellbook and four treasures, he could easily defeat the Fighting God if he wanted.

But relying on external power had its limits. As everyone’s levels rose, the treasures’ influence would diminish.

If he could reach the Emperor Level in martial arts, his survival skills would improve greatly, even if his God of Wealth rank didn’t increase.

After all, warriors could also use treasures!

With that thought, Su Wen sat in his office and sipped his tea.

“Gold ingot, can the power of Wealth Source help treasures evolve?”

“Yes, God of Wealth,” the gold ingot replied softly after appearing.

“Are you saying I haven’t been nurturing those treasures properly?”

Su Wen glanced at the gold ingot with a smile.

The gold ingot’s expression gave away its thoughts.

“God of Wealth, under the influence of the power of Wealth Source, the treasures in your hands will undergo significant enhancements and even develop strong spiritual awareness.”

“But the cost-effectiveness of nurturing treasures is very low.”

“Using Wealth Sources to nurture the wealth-gathering pot would be more economical.”

Su Wen chuckled but didn’t respond.

Whether to nurture the spellbook and four amulets was something he had already decided.

“Little gold ingot, let’s start a new chaos in time and space!”
