In a Martial World High, There’s a Mystical Great World – Chapter 37

Chapter 37: Armed Factions

Shen Xing wasn’t completely clueless about the Disciplinary Department. Back in junior high, some of his classmates had joined as auxiliary support staff.

The requirements were already extremely strict.

It was basically out of reach for ordinary students.

As for the official members, they were all senior students of the Martial Path Academy, at least at the Bone Tempering stage. He heard there were even requirements for talent.

Perhaps, after he reached the Bone Tempering stage, he could look into it, but for now, it was out of the question.

“What’s the second method?” Shen Xing asked.

“The second one, I don’t know if the boss has heard of it, armed factions?”

Although it was just text, Shen Xing could still sense Xiaoling’s hesitation.

Just the name itself made him furrow his brows slightly.

“There are armed factions in the Academy Planet?”

“Why wouldn’t there be?”

Xiaoling knew at once that her boss was probably completely unaware of these things.

She immediately explained, “In ordinary high schools, many students were eliminated from the Martial Path Academies. These students have enjoyed the benefits of the Martial Path, but after being eliminated, they don’t have free resources. However, they don’t want to give up on the Martial Path, so some of them get bad ideas and arm themselves to target students of the Martial Path Academy. Of course, this kind of thing doesn’t happen often, the Disciplinary Department is very powerful.”

There’s such a thing in the Academy Planet?

Shen Xing was initially surprised, but after thinking about it, he found it completely understandable.

Just look at Xiaoling, with her electromagnetic pistol and electric shock suit.

Martial artists in the Body Tempering stage weren’t invincible, especially in the technologically advanced Human Federation. It was easy, even for ordinary students, to deal with most Martial Path Academy students with just a little bit of weaponry.

Where there’s opportunity and profit, of course, it will exist.

More importantly, Shen Xing had already figured it out. The Federation’s army on the Academy Planet wouldn’t bother with these student factions. It was all handled by the Disciplinary Department.

They were all students, no matter how powerful they were, they naturally lacked deterrence. Moreover, their abilities might not be sufficient. It was even possible that this was a test for the Disciplinary Department students.

It seemed that the Academy Planet wasn’t just as bright and shiny as it appeared on the surface. Behind the scenes, there was probably no shortage of chaos and disorder.

However, Shen Xing wasn’t too concerned.

No matter what, the order here was incomparable to the situation in the other world. He, who already had several lives on his hands, couldn’t possibly be afraid of such a force formed by students.

“Can these armed factions get what I want?” Shen Xing was more concerned about this.

“The smaller ones definitely can’t, but the more powerful ones, it’s actually quite easy,” Xiaoling said. “I know of an armed faction with about sixty to seventy official members, all of whom are at least Muscle Tempering stage martial artists. They seem to have backing from some other force, and they can indeed get some very powerful equipment.”

“You know so much about it, don’t tell me you were in it too,” Shen Xing raised an eyebrow.

With Xiaoling’s personality, she might have really joined such a gang.

She wasn’t exactly the law-abiding type.

However, Shen Xing just asked casually. But unexpectedly, after asking this question, Xiaoling fell silent for a long time.

Only after a long while did she reply, “Boss, I wasn’t an official member. My martial arts strength wasn’t enough. I just knew some people in there and helped out a little bit, and I stopped participating very quickly.”

She’s quite honest?

Shen Xing could roughly imagine what she meant by “a little bit” of help.

Probably something like online phishing.

After all, even armed factions were unlikely to rush into someone’s dorm and rob them directly. It was more likely that they would lure them to a certain place and then make a move, perhaps even taking photos as threats for long-term extortion.

◈◈◈

And someone like him, who basically stayed in school and his dorm, focusing on cultivation, naturally wouldn’t come into contact with such things.

However, this also meant that Xiaoling had connections.

“It doesn’t matter. I don’t care about what you did before. I only value your abilities,” Shen Xing, through the text, seemed to sense Xiaoling’s slight apprehension and directly reassured her. Then he asked, “So, is there a way to get what I want?”

“If the boss says so, then of course it can be done!” Xiaoling breathed a sigh of relief and said truthfully, “It’s just that it might cost a bit.”

“It’s fine, the items are the priority. After it’s done, the daily resources allocated to you will be doubled,” Shen Xing didn’t care about a little money.

If they could really get some powerful weapons and acquire Martial Path Intents from the other world, this bit of money was nothing to worry about.

He even gave Xiaoling a little encouragement.

Sure enough, this money-lover immediately became excited.

“Thank you, boss! Leave it to Xiaoling, I guarantee you’ll be satisfied!”

“Be careful too. Working with me now is just the beginning. I don’t want to lose a capable subordinate so early on,” Shen Xing casually painted a picture of the future.

But he did start to look forward to it.

He could only say that recruiting Xiaoling was indeed a stroke of luck.

He was even thinking that when he had the money, he would buy some Martial Path Intents for Xiaoling to enhance her martial arts talent.

After all, controlling two worlds, he definitely needed his own team to maximize the benefits of both worlds.

After ending the communication with Xiaoling, Shen Xing didn’t rush her. He knew that this matter actually carried some risks.

It was only because they were on the Academy Planet that lives were not easily lost, and the people involved were all students. Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to entrust such a task to a young girl who had just broken through to the Skin Tempering stage.

“Let’s wait patiently,” Shen Xing continued his cultivation.

His current Qi and Blood Strength had reached 20.4.

He had officially broken through to the Mid-Muscle Tempering stage. Even though the later stage required 28 points, he estimated that it would take at most seven or eight days to reach it. If he kept using pills of Jade Ginseng Pill’s level, it could be reduced to at least five or six days.

This speed was incredibly astonishing.

Looking at the entire Linjiang School, Shen Xing was confident that there weren’t many who could surpass him.

However, compared to the astonishing efficiency in realm cultivation, the progress in Martial Path Intent was somewhat unsatisfactory.

Shen Xing spent three to four hours every day practicing Leg Axe and Space.

Space was fine. As his proficiency increased, his strength grew, and his control over space, both in intensity and duration, had increased significantly. He smoothly reached the Minor Completion level. But with Leg Axe, Shen Fei felt like he was stuck at the threshold. No matter how much he practiced against the wall, his progress was minimal.

“I still need to get some auxiliary equipment,” Shen Xing decided to reduce the training time for Leg Axe a little.

He would continue after getting the auxiliary equipment to improve efficiency.

Just like that, until Friday night, Xiaoling suddenly sent a message.

“I got it! I got it, boss!”
