Chapter 15 System Upgrade Lv8! Feedback Divine Body!

At that moment, Xiao Zhen's system panel appeared as follows:

Host: Xiao Zhen

Realm: Martial Saint, Nine Cycles

System Level: Lv1 (Upgradable to Lv8, pending host confirmation)

Lockable Area: 100 square meters (Can be expanded to 25,600 square meters)

Cultivation Techniques: All techniques from the Lian, Xiao, and Zhou families, among others.

Martial Arts: All martial arts from the Lian, Xiao, and Zhou families, and more.

Secret Techniques: As stated above.

Xiao Zhen stared at the panel, intrigued. "So, this is Level 8?" he mused.

He recalled that the system had never explained how the system level was increased.

The system responded, "As the host's level increases, it doubles each time."

Xiao Zhen understood; it all made sense now. He had reached the Martial Saint, Nine Cycles, and that's why it directly reflected Level 8. The next increase would likely see the area jump to 51,200 square meters instantly.

Currently, the Level 8 area was about a quarter the size of Baixiao Martial Institute. Even though it was still only a fraction of the Institute's total area, it was far better than just 100 square meters!

Without hesitation, Xiao Zhen declared, "I want an upgrade! Expand the area for me!"

The system replied: "Acknowledged. Expanding around Baixiao Martial Institute with the first group as the center."

Ding! The system has been upgraded to Level 8, expanding the area to 25,600 square meters. You can now receive feedback on your physique.

Given that the individuals within the area include numerous Martial Venerates and a few Martial Saints, their cultivation bases are being assessed and compiled for your benefit.

Your realm is undergoing a promotion. Promotion complete: you have advanced to Half-step Martial God.

Xiao Zhen couldn't help but be impressed. "Wow, a direct promotion? That's incredible!"

Even though he could cultivate on his own, the results were still astonishing. The more he expanded the area, the more his cultivation base could grow infinitely!

Being a Half-step Martial God was just one step away from reaching true Martial God status. He grinned at the thought; Martial Saints in the Ziyun Dynasty were quite rare. If he could achieve the peak of Martial Saint, then becoming a Half-step Martial God would certainly be even more exceptional.

He hoped those wishing to assassinate him wouldn't be too timid!

"Ha! Reaching Martial God is still quite challenging. If the academy had a Martial God, I would have achieved it long ago," Xiao Zhen chuckled softly. "But that's alright; I'll practice until I succeed eventually."

With that, he took a moment to examine the various cultivation techniques, martial arts, and secret methods available to him. The sheer volume was staggering.

The first-class students at the academy were the future heirs of prominent families. Each one had mastered the strongest techniques, martial arts, and secrets that their families had to offer.

By absorbing all of this knowledge, Xiao Zhen had effectively learned everything. If he were to write it all down, it would fill dozens of pages.

This extensive knowledge also meant that Xiao Zhen had a deep understanding of these families' techniques—he was aware of their strengths and weaknesses, making it easier to counter them.

After all, within the major families, there was always a method to counteract each other's strengths.

"Hey, there's an Elder's cultivation technique in the academy that's particularly interesting. It allows one to fuse other martial arts together to create something even stronger?"

As Xiao Zhen sifted through the techniques, he was taken aback. He hadn't anticipated encountering such a remarkable cultivation technique.

After a moment's thought, Xiao Zhen decided to give it a try. He immediately attempted to combine Zhou's Frost Fist with Lian's Shadow Fist.

About a quarter of an hour later, Xiao Zhen succeeded in creating the Shadow Frost Fist, elevating its rank by one tier.

In terms of martial arts grading, the levels were categorized as yellow, dark yellow …, with each major grade further divided into three sub-grades: low, medium, and high.

Previously, both the Frost Fist and Shadow Fist had been classified as low-level dark yellow Rank techniques. However, thanks to Xiao Zhen's fusion, they were upgraded to the mid-level dark yellow Rank.

The new Shadow Frost Fist incorporated the elusive aspects of the Shadow Fist along with the chilling effects of the Frost Fist, thereby doubling its power.

"The name of this new technique is called Wanfa Fusion Technique," Xiao Zhen noted. "Initially, it was just a low-level technique, but as the practitioner grows stronger, its level increases as well.

For me, it has now become an advanced Earth-level technique. If I reach the Martial God stage, it's likely I can elevate it to a Heavenly level—quite impressive!"

After contemplating this, Xiao Zhen decided to abandon his previous techniques and focus on mastering the Wanfa Fusion Technique.

"Wait a moment; I don't have to abandon anything," he realized suddenly. "Among the talented individuals at the academy, there's a Wanfa body. This body can cultivate various techniques without conflict, and the god-level summation system seems to have copied this Wanfa body."

Continuing to examine the panel, Xiao Zhen's eyes lit up with excitement.

Previously, at Level 1, he couldn't replicate physiques, but now that he had reached Level 8, he was able to absorb all physiques.

With a click, Xiao Zhen activated the Wanfa body option.

In an instant, the Wanfa body feature materialized on his system panel.

Body of Wanfa: You can cultivate any cultivation technique or martial art without conflicting with others. Practicing in conjunction with Wanfa fusion skills is encouraged.

Xiao Zhen understood that the Body of Wanfa and the Wanfa Fusion Technique complemented each other perfectly.

"Wow! I've unknowingly assembled a comprehensive set of techniques!" Xiao Zhen exclaimed, intrigued by this newfound potential. "This is going to be fascinating!"

As he pondered his next steps, he felt a rush of anticipation at the thought of exploring the limits of his abilities with this unique combination of techniques.

With a newfound sense of purpose, Xiao Zhen prepared himself for the challenges ahead. He was ready to delve deeper into his cultivation journey and explore the vast possibilities that lay before him.

Armed with the knowledge of the Wanfa Fusion Technique and the versatile Body of Wanfa, Xiao Zhen felt more powerful than ever. He could now navigate the complexities of martial arts with ease, learning to adapt and integrate various techniques into his own style.

As he contemplated how he could employ these techniques against his adversaries, a smile crept across his face. The possibilities were endless, and he was determined to make the most of his newfound capabilities.

The landscape of the martial world was vast, filled with powerful enemies and potential allies. With each step he took, Xiao Zhen could feel the weight of his destiny pressing upon him. He was on the brink of greatness, and there was no turning back now.

"Let the journey begin!" he declared, excitement coursing through his veins.
