Abyssal Invasion, I Wield Dark Authority – Chapter 93

Ch 93: Four Paths of a Super Warrior

Super Martial Artists’ Four Paths

Super Martial Arts Alliance.

The full name is the ‘Super Martial Artists Alliance’.

It is a semi-official, large-scale transcendent organization.

It is also the largest transcendent organization in the entire Great Xia.

Because… almost every super martial artist in Great Xia will join the Super Martial Arts Alliance.

…Of course, Espers can too.

Well, it’s not quite right to describe the Super Martial Arts Alliance as an organization.

Rather than seeing it as an ‘organization’, it’s better to see it as a platform…

A transcendent platform that spans the entire territory of Great Xia.

One sentence to explain what the Super Martial Arts Alliance is… it’s similar to places like the ‘Martial Artists Alliance’ and ‘Mage Alliance’ in previous-life fantasy novels.

But it’s a modern version.

Money is needed for both literature and martial arts.

The profession of a super martial artist is very expensive. All kinds of gene potions, super martial arts techniques, mental cultivation methods, contemplation methods, weapons, equipment, and so on… are all extremely expensive.

Therefore, super martial artists also need to make money.

But how to make money?

For the vast majority of super martial artists, there are generally four paths to make money.

The first path is, of course, to join the country’s transcendent organizations.

Such as the Night Watch, and so on…

But this path has extremely high barriers to entry. They only recruit geniuses. They also require a clean family background…

The disadvantage is that it’s very dangerous. After all, it’s a national organization. Wherever there’s danger, you have to go, and you can’t refuse.

But the advantages are also obvious… possessing all sorts of special privileges.

As for the treatment…

Just look at Ningning, and you’ll know.

The second path is to settle for second best. If you can’t join the country, then join the transcendent organizations specially hired by large and small financial groups and companies.

To put it bluntly, it’s the henchmen and bodyguards of the rich…

The treatment for this kind is entirely based on individual ability.

If you are strong enough, the treatment might even far exceed that of national organizations like the Night Watch.

After all… the power of capital, you know what I mean.

But if your individual ability is not good, and you only barely meet the standards, then the treatment is naturally far inferior to the first type.

The third path is to join the military.

This is the one with the greatest demand.

This world not only has weirdness, but also monsters. There are also many strange and dangerous situations… In this case, to maintain the long-term stability of a country, the military needs a large number of living forces to join.

Therefore, there are no limits to joining the military.

Not to mention you’re a super martial artist…

Even an ordinary person, if they go to enlist, has the possibility of passing.

After joining the military, there are naturally many benefits. First of all, there are all kinds of transcendent resources, which will be supplied continuously… Although most of them require military merit to exchange, but as a professional soldier, you naturally have a salary.

The amount of this salary also depends on the individual… If you accumulate enough military merit, your rank will increase quickly, and your salary will also skyrocket.

But the disadvantage is also obvious… it’s not free.

The army is a place that emphasizes strict orders. Especially when your rank is low, you often have to stay in the garrison or war zone for a year or two, and you have to carry out military orders every day…

The vast majority of super martial artists can’t stand this kind of control.

In addition to this, the fourth path…

is to join the ‘Super Martial Arts Alliance’.

As the largest transcendent platform in Great Xia, the Super Martial Arts Alliance has a large number of transcendent missions.

The ones who issue the missions are not only individuals, but also official entities, such as the Night Watch, the military, and so on…

◈◈◈

The most crucial thing is freedom, and it doesn’t require you to reveal your identity.

Therefore, the ‘Super Martial Arts Alliance’ has become the best choice for the vast majority of super martial artists who are unwilling or unqualified to join official organizations, and are also unwilling or unqualified to be henchmen for the rich, and at the same time, don’t want to go to the military.

They join the ‘Super Martial Arts Alliance’, become one of its members, and can freely take on all kinds of missions in the Super Martial Arts Alliance. Then they can wander in all kinds of dangerous situations, and finally exchange their blood and sweat for rewards. Then they can buy all kinds of transcendent resources in the Super Martial Arts Alliance to strengthen themselves…

◈◈◈

The original owner had some understanding of the above.

He also got a further understanding from Liu An and Zhou Yuan.

The Super Martial Arts Alliance in Canglan City is located in the city center.

When Qin Jin-Nian arrived at the Super Martial Arts Alliance, it was already around two o’clock in the afternoon.

Looking up, in front of him was a huge square, and in the very middle of the square, there was a huge building.

It was different in style from the surrounding office buildings and residential buildings.

This was a huge ring-shaped building, only about five or six stories high, but each floor was extremely tall. From the outside, it looked like a giant egg upside down on the ground… At the top of the egg, were the five large characters ‘Super Martial Artists Alliance’.

Super Martial Arts Square could be said to be the most popular place in the city center. Not only were there a large number of super martial artists, but also many young people who looked like students…

Qin Jin-Nian mixed among them, without any outstanding features.

Entering the Super Martial Arts Alliance, the first thing he saw was a huge screen. On the screen, there were lines of text that kept scrolling down. The colors of the text were different, representing all kinds of missions.

Different colors represented different difficulties… Likewise, they also represented the threshold for taking on the missions.

In addition to this, in the vast hall, there were machines similar to ATMs… These were the machines for taking on missions.

Qin Jin-Nian’s gaze swept across the hall, and he saw quite a few super martial artists who looked extremely powerful… These people were dressed in ordinary clothes, but they had an air about them that was different from ordinary people.

They were very similar to those people in the black market.

Well, I’ll interject here… the black market is almost equivalent to a scaled-down, dark version of the Super Martial Arts Alliance.

For example, those bounties and such, all followed the model of the Super Martial Arts Alliance.

However, here in the Super Martial Arts Alliance… naturally, there were no bounty boards.

After all, Great Xia was still a stable country with a powerful official presence.

It wasn’t to the point where they could openly do things like hiring people to kill.

After curiously observing the first-floor hall for a while, Qin Jin-Nian took the pedestrian elevator to the second floor.

Immediately, he saw a series of shops.

The shops displayed all kinds of goods.

There were all kinds of clothes, backpacks, swords, knives, and even bookstores… specifically selling super martial arts techniques.

Naturally, there were also gene potion shops.

Qin Jin-Nian came this time to buy ‘Blood Moving Potions’.

He already had the techniques, which the school had taught back in his first year of high school.

But to practice, he also needed Blood Moving Potions to cooperate.

The first realm of super martial arts is called the ‘Blood Moving Stage’.

As everyone knows, the reason why super martial artists are powerful is because they have mastered the power of ‘spiritual energy’.

But that ‘spiritual energy’, as a companion to the abyssal invasion… is a rather violent power. The bodies of ordinary people simply can’t withstand that kind of power. The only result of rashly absorbing ‘spiritual energy’ is to explode.

Espers have Esper Cores in their bodies. After spiritual energy enters the body, it will be absorbed once by the Esper Core, which will transform its violent characteristics and make it gentle. Not only will it not hurt people, but it will also nourish the body… Therefore, Espers are naturally stronger than super martial artists, and they can naturally use ‘spiritual energy’.

But what if ordinary people don’t have an Esper Core?

There’s only one way…

Train your body to the point where it can withstand spiritual energy!

This is the function of the Blood Moving Potion—

Stimulate the blood with Blood Moving Potions, make the blood violent, and simulate the situation when spiritual energy enters the body. Then, combine it with special movements to absorb the medicinal properties in the potion, strengthen the blood vessels and meridians… and finally, make it able to withstand violent spiritual energy.

Therefore, the first realm of super martial arts is called the ‘Blood Moving Stage’.
