To become an inner force martial artist, one had to meet stringent requirements. Furthermore, no matter how strong an inner force martial artist gets, he would only be a human with slightly stronger combat prowess. They are still no match against opponents wielding guns.

That was why many martial artists did not purely focus their training in martial arts but instead took up shooting, disguising oneself, and other skills. Those that successfully learn how to use inner force were even fewer.

Be it China or the Sun Nation, inner force martial artists were very rare. They were classified as national treasures.

For example, an average martial artist could jump up to two meters. An inner force martial artist, with the help of inner force, would have no problem clearing a five-meter height.

Despite the small change, it was not as simple as it seemed. It meant that many higher difficulty missions could only be achieved by inner force martial artists!

Furthermore, depending on the martial arts they trained with, each person’s inner force would be different. Some focused on training their legs, resulting in their inner force being generated in their legs. Others may focus on training their fingers and the inner force would be generated within their fingers. In the case of Ye Lingchen who learned the Arhat Fist, the inner force was generated within his arms.

That led to each individual having unique skills.

“Apart from the inner force being generated in varying parts of the body, the form the inner force takes can be different too. Earth’s Gate’s leader had a poisonous enhancement to his inner force which caused my illness! That is why when you face off with an inner force martial artist, you have to be extra careful,” advised Grandfather Lin.

Ye Lingchen nodded. He did not expect there to be so much variation between martial artists.

For Grandfather Lin to duel the Earth’s Gate’s leader ten years ago, he too had to be an inner force martial artist.

The generation of inner force and its strength was directly related to the martial arts being practiced. He did not know what level his Arhat Fist Force belonged to.

He had never met another inner force martial artist so he had nobody to compare himself to.

The information on inner force martial artists was never made public. Even Lin Ao and Lin Ruoyu had just barely learned of it. They were shocked, especially Lin Ao, to hear so many secrets in one conversation. His face darkened, having learned of another goal to work towards.

Very quickly, Ye Lingchen finished his treatment for Grandfather Lin. He packed up and got ready to leave.

Before Ye Lingchen left, he was stopped by Lin Ao who whispered to him, “Brother Ye, did you really manage to generate inner force?”

“I guess so,” Ye Lingchen replied with a nod.

“How did you do it? What’s the feeling? Anything I should look out for?” Lin Ao’s eyes were glowing brightly as he questioned Ye Lingchen.

“Didn’t your grandfather just tell you? As long as you constantly train one type of martial arts, you will have the chance to generate inner force.”

“However, he said that inner force required talent and luck! That Earth’s Gate is so strong. China’s Warrior’s Department must not be weaker than them!” Lin Ao was frustrated. “Why don’t you teach me instead?”

“Me? Teach you?” Ye Lingchen gave Lin Ao a surprised look, then shook his head, “I don’t have the time.”

“Brother Ye, you still have no intention of joining the Warrior’s Department?” Lin Ao stared intently at Ye Lingchen, “You’ve seen what happened. The Earth’s Gate’s members were crossing the line!”

Ye Lingchen kept quiet.

Lin Ao continued while he had the chance, “Also regarding the incident back in your university, I’m sorry. However, you should also realize that at times, having certain privileges can be a very convenient thing. At least it could help you punish evildoers instead of being bullied.”

Ye Lingchen’s eyes seemed to be in deep thought.

Before this, as a regular person, he only saw a very normal world. However, at that moment, he learned that the world was not as simple as he thought. Lin Ao’s words struck a chord in his heart. He had the system with him. To continue hiding was not a solution. He needed to raise his social standing and abilities. That was the best way to protect himself.

Ye Lingchen finally made the decision, “Alright, I’ll join the Warrior’s Department. What do you need me to do?”

“Hahaha, good!” Lin Ao was elated, “Brother Ye, you don’t need to be so reserved. You joining the Warrior’s Department itself is worthy of a celebration. You don’t need to do anything!”

“Last time you straightened Sun Chao and his brother, and now you’ve captured Earth’s Gate’s silver-ranked members. Your merits are good enough. I’ll make the application for you. We’ll at least start you off as a Lower-Class Warrior!”

“Starting as a Lower-Class Warrior?” Ye Lingchen was slightly taken aback.

“That’s already too low! In my opinion, your merits are worth more than a Lower-Class Warrior. However, since you’re new, we need to start you from the basics.” Lin Ao then added, “Oh right, in a while we will be having an assessment for the four martial artists special training camps. I’ll let you know when the time comes so you can join.”

“Sure!” Ye Lingchen nodded.

The four special training camps. Ye Lingchen was interested to find out more about them.

After leaving the Lin family, Ye Lingchen finally set off on returning to campus.

His heart was uneasy.

China had the Warrior’s Department and the Sun Nation had Earth’s Gate. This meant other countries would have their own martial artist factions.

Seems like it was as Lin Ao said. All the talk about peace was just an illusion. It was because others were taking the burden in the frontlines. Somewhere out there, there was a group of people quietly contributing to the safety of the citizens of this country.

Four silver-ranked members and one sniper. Earth’s Gate’s influence was clear to see. Although his strength was nothing to laugh at, to the Earth’s Gate, he would hardly be considered an appetizer.

If it were purely a fight between martial arts, he had the Prodigy System. Learning martial arts was as simple as drinking water. He would have nothing to fear from those so-called experts.

The main problem was that the enemy had guns. He had yet to gain immunity from firearms.

Speaking of which, it would be amazing if he could pick up cultivation. With that, he would become god-like!

He needed more popularity to quickly raise his skills!

The main reason he averted disaster earlier was due to his martial arts, Bird Language, and Parkour. Had he lacked any one of them, there would have had a different result. Coincidentally, these skills were all given to him by the system.

He needed to learn more skills. Who knew when they would come in handy?

While deep in thought, Ye Lingchen had already reached the internet cafe. As usual, he entered the private room and got ready to stream.

During this period of time, Ye Lingchen had hit a bottleneck. The Grave Robber’s Chronicles would still generate a lot of popularity for him, but it was at a much lower rate than before. From the last time until now, a week had passed. His popularity had only gone up to 42,389.

The efficiency had dropped drastically.

It seemed like he would need to continue creating sensational news!

If Huo Yuanjia, the movie that he had challenged Shi Lei with, gets aired, he should gain another wave of popularity. Furthermore, Grave Robber’s Chronicles was coming to an end. His stream would be able to gain more popularity by publishing a new piece of work. Lastly, there was Chaser of the Light from before. He heard that Chen Xiaoyan was still trying hard to look for him. He should find a chance to write her a new song. That was not a bad choice too.

Apart from that, Ye Lingchen could also learn how to sing. He could compose and perform his own songs, or write a novel. There was also the choice of acting as a character that did not expose his face. With the Prodigy System, everything was possible.

However, all those were just backup plans.

From 7pm to 9pm, Ye Lingchen streamed the Grave Robber’s Chronicles as usual and got ready to log off.

For once, he pulled up the comments on a whim to have a look.

In the past, he would never look at the comments. He would usually turn off the computer right after he ended the stream. After all, he was a storyteller. He did not need to chat with the listeners.

However, now that he took a look, the stream was in an uproar. Lines after lines of comments were calling him in a frenzy.

[Y-God, come have a look quickly!]

[Y-God, our side is annihilated. We need backup!]

[Y-God hides his face, monkey god will reign!]

[Motherf*ckers, the Sun Nation is too insolent. Y-God, show yourself! I’m begging you!]

[Y-God, did you read any of the comments? Did Coold not tell you?]

‘The Sun Nation? What happened?’

At that time, Ye Lingchen was especially sensitive when it came to the Sun Nation. He scowled, then asked out in the stream, “What happened?”
