In the world of martial arts, there is a vast fantasy world.

Chapter 288 The closest we've come to the Eighth Realm this century!

With the "Inscription" and "Alchemy" systems at their disposal, they are capable of bringing about earth-shattering changes to the entire Human Federation, or even ushering in a completely new era.

This is also the greatest source of Shen Xing's confidence in truly controlling the Human Federation.

That's right. Since his goal is to be the strongest, he naturally wants to be above everyone in the entire Human Federation.

It's not just about strength, but also about status and influence.

Inscription alone is not enough; one must also possess the skills of alchemy to qualify.

However, Shen Xing is not prepared to take out the "Dao of Alchemy" now.

That's terrifying.

Inscriptions are one thing, but bringing up alchemy as well might really affect the interests of some people, especially those eighth-realm experts.

After all, weapons are meant to be used by people, while alchemy can cultivate one's own powerful self.

Even with just inscriptions, Shen Xing had to find a way to make as many friends as possible and as few rivals as possible.

He needs to win over a group of people at the seventh level and tie them to him.

"Currently, it seems the only one I can contact is Ji Long of Longmen?" Shen Xing pondered the seven realms he could reach, and couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. "I might be able to contact Wenren Caifeng through Mi Fei, but besides these two, it's difficult to even find a third. Is the president of the Wanshang Association any good?"

Shen Xing kept thinking and realized that he still had too few contacts.

However, you can try them one by one.

Shen Xing contacted Liu Yanfeng of Longmen first, sending him some information about the plan he had developed in cooperation with the academy's home planet.

Within a very short time, Liu Yanfeng called back.

"Director Shen, you're a director of our Dragon Gate!" Liu Yanfeng's tone was filled with remorse. "How could you not inform us about something like this? If you had notified us before signing the agreement with the Academy's home planet, we could have at least secured another five percent of the shares for you!"

"An extra five percent doesn't make much difference," Shen Xing said calmly. "The 51% that can't be diluted is already enough to secure my control. Any more would just mean a slightly higher share of the profits. It's better to use that to recruit more people. Besides, that's why I came to you, isn't it?"

"In short, I've already contacted my superiors about this matter." Liu Yanfeng, naturally aware of the situation, quickly said, "Although Director Ji Long is in seclusion studying a certain martial arts concept, such an important matter is enough to disturb him. He might want to meet with you."

"I will not meet any seventh-realm beings before I reach the sixth realm," Shen Xing interrupted him without hesitation.

"There's absolutely no need to worry about Director Ji Long's character. We will respect Director Shen's opinion and proceed with the meeting via projection. Also, we absolutely must get involved in this company, and we hope you can authorize us to use the inscription. Finally, as this matter continues to escalate, some anti-Federal organizations may see you as a thorn in their side. You need to be careful. Unless you completely cut off all contact with any forces, hiding in deep space isn't foolproof," Liu Yanfeng reminded him.

He saw further than Shen Xing and knew Shen Xing's biggest problem.

That is strength.

Shen Xing either has to risk trusting certain people or distrusting everyone, but this requires him to face some dangers.

Shen Xing narrowed his eyes and said, "I understand. If they really want to come, then let them come."

"Also, do you need me to give you some contact information for those in the Seventh Realm?" Liu Yanfeng asked again. "Many of the direct descendants of powerful figures have chosen the Dragon lineage, but we still maintain certain contact with some people in the Seventh Realm."

"Sure, give me some more basic information," Shen Xing said without hesitation.

He had that intention all along.

Since the appearance of inscriptions has caused such a great commotion, he must weave a powerful enough giant net in the shortest possible time.

This is to protect their own interests.

After hanging up with Liu Yanfeng, Shen Xing contacted Mi Fei again.

Unexpectedly, after Mi Fei sent the message, the projection that appeared in front of Shen Xing was none other than Wenren Caifeng!

Even though he had already seen Hong Hao, a projection of the seventh realm, Shen Xing still trembled when facing Wenren Caifeng.

She is the eternal goddess in the hearts of countless people in the Human Federation!

Even his predecessor was a fan of this person. It was only after he awakened his memories of his past life that he focused on martial arts and didn't care much about these things. Otherwise, he would probably be so nervous that he would be at a loss right now.

"I have met Wenren Da."

"Just call me Sister Wenren, or Sister Caifeng." Wenren Caifeng waved her hand, interrupting Shen Xing's words. She had a faint smile on her face, and her voice, which was so familiar to countless people, was enough to make most of her fans scream.

As for Shen Xing, he took a deep breath and decided to follow the advice.

Wenren Caifeng's public image is that of an "older sister," and for over a thousand years, no one has ever thought she was old.

Rather, the nickname "Sister Wenren" is simply a normal way for her fans to address her.

"Sister Wenren, I've already told Mi Fei the details." Shen Xing decided to be direct. "Although I've taken the initiative, my own strength isn't enough, so I need some powerful figures with sufficient influence to stand on my side."

"No problem." Wenren Caifeng blinked. "However, I didn't come to you about this."

Shen Xing was taken aback.

"I just want to see the most outstanding prodigy in the Human Federation right now," she said with a smile. "And also to see what kind of young man could make Mi Fei so unforgettable."

"..." Shen Xing couldn't bear the playful look in the superstar's eyes for a moment, and quickly said, "It's a misunderstanding. Mi Fei and I are just friends. There's nothing ambiguous between us."

He said this with conviction because it was the truth.

If there was some ambiguous atmosphere between Shen Xing and Nangong Jinyi, then his relationship with Mi Fei was indeed just that of friends, at least in Shen Xing's mind. At most, he simply admired her charm.

But Wenren Caifeng shook her head and laughed, "That's just your opinion."

"." Shen Xing swallowed, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"Alright, I won't interfere in your affairs. However, Mi Fei is my most valued disciple, so as long as you and Mi Fei have a good relationship, I will definitely stand by your side," Wenren Caifeng said with a light laugh. "Now that you've met, you can talk to Mi Fei about the rest. She can represent me on my behalf."

He left behind just this one sentence, and then this seventh-realm powerhouse, this superstar, went offline, as if he really had only come to visit Shen Xing.

A moment later, Mi Fei's projection appeared.

Compared to a year ago, she was noticeably more mature, with a significant change in temperament and charm. But what truly surprised Shen Xing was her ability.

Even from a projection, it's clear that she's already at the late stage of the third realm!

This has completely caught up with Nangong Jinyi.

It should be noted that Nangong Jinyi consumed a considerable number of pills while staying with her.

"Why didn't you mention before that you had such a status over there?" Shen Xing was somewhat surprised.

This is the true treatment a "saint" receives.

It's obvious that without sufficient resources, it would be impossible to reach this level.

"This is nothing to brag about," Mi Fei said with a smile. "It's all because I'm clinging to your powerful backer."

"Alright, this time you've really gotten what you wanted." Shen Xing spread his hands.

"Hmph." Mi Fei snorted twice, "I'll take back double the stake, at least seven percent!"

"How is this possible?" Shen Xing exclaimed in surprise. "More than Councilor Hong Hao? He's the representative of the Academy's home planet."

"We will only take shares, and all the equity will be entrusted to you," Mi Fei said again, which made Shen Xing's gaze freeze.

But soon, he shook his head again: "This is not something I can decide."

"You just need to nod, and leave the rest to Master." Mi Fei chuckled. Although she was only at the third realm, the charm she exuded was enough to shake even those at the fourth realm.

It's only because Shen Xing possesses the Heavenly Grade "Sun-Holding Dragon" that things would have been shaken.

This kind of seductive technique does indeed have its terrifying aspects.

However, Shen Xing was now completely captivated by her words: "How did Sister Wenren manage to acquire so many shares?"

"Don't underestimate Master. She is hailed as the strongest person in this century who is closest to the eighth realm!" Mi Fei wrinkled her delicate nose. "They are both at the seventh realm of perfection. The others, including the one from the Dragon Gate, cannot compare with Master in terms of foundation. At most, Master will attempt her first breakthrough within thirty years."

"Hiss—" Shen Xing took a deep breath.

Thirty years!

This was truly unexpected.

Although he knew that Wenren Caifeng was a veteran seventh-realm expert, he really didn't know she was that strong.

Adding to Ji Long's words, the two seventh-realm cultivators he casually pulled over were actually both at the perfect level?

Moreover, it seems that they are not far from reaching the eighth realm!

"Is it because of the martial arts technique you learned?" Shen Xing suddenly realized.

"That's right." Mi Fei nodded. "This is a cultivation technique that is very suitable for us. It far surpasses the level of the current top-tier techniques and may even touch another level. Next time we meet, if your strength is insufficient, I might just bend my finger and you will fall down."

As she finished speaking, she slightly curved her eyes and actually beckoned to Shen Xing with her finger.

In an instant, even the azure-gold flames in Shen Xing's eyes intensified.

It was clear that the automatic protection was triggered.

Although he had no intention of defending, it was just a projection, just a third realm, yet it still managed to elicit a slight reaction from his "Sun-Holding Dragon".

This was enough to surprise Shen Xing.

He had realized that the martial arts of the Human Federation also possessed their own miracles.

This miracle exists not only in basic training exercises, but also in the highest levels of training.
