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

Chapter 74 Weapons that are explicitly prohibited

He thought for a moment and then said, "Provide a detailed list of the comparison results."

A series of martial arts concept names appeared directly on the screen.

Shen Xing's gaze immediately settled on the door that had the highest similarity.

"Phantom Movement Technique"

He silently recited it to himself, and as he looked at the relevant information, his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

This is a top-tier movement technique. When used, the figure is as elusive as a ghost, even giving the impression of teleportation. It can also create numerous illusions, alternating between reality and illusion, and integrates combat, escape, and travel, making it highly versatile.

In Shen Xing's view, this is an upgraded version of the Nine Shadows Movement Technique.

Even though the worlds are different, there are still people with similar inspirations.

More importantly, the Nine Shadows Movement Technique is like a rootless duckweed, with only one realm, while this Phantom Movement Technique has already evolved to the sixth realm!

"I must learn!" Shen Xing made the decision without hesitation.

He originally intended to choose a top-tier movement technique that could be used to conceal "space". The previous Nine Shadows Movement Technique was good, but this Phantom Phantom Technique was obviously better.

They didn't even care that the Nine Shadows Movement Technique could only be classified as a Class III copyright, requiring an additional 30% copyright fee.

Moreover, it is indeed classified as a top-tier martial arts realm, with a suggested price of 170 million.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Xing set the price at 150 million.

Even if only 40% is received, selling just one unit would still bring in 60 million.

With the addition of the other four branches, his wealth directly surged to the billion-dollar level.

"I can forget about spaceships for now, but maybe I should buy a better flying car?" As Shen Xing walked out of the registration desk, he looked at his Nebula account, which was flashing with little red dots, and felt a sense of satisfaction.

Having money is something to be happy about, no matter the era.

Moreover, in the Human Federation, having money allows one to enjoy many things that were simply unattainable in one's previous life.

While pursuing martial arts, you can also experience it.

"I'll ask Nangong Jinyi later. She should know more about racing than I do." Shen Xing boarded the bus and headed towards the agreed location.

Today is naturally not a date for just the two of them; Juan and Gu Jiao will also be there. As for Mi Fei, I heard that she is about to break through in her martial arts realm and is currently focusing on her cultivation.

However, the location of this dinner party was not near the Martial Arts Academy.

Instead, it was located in the 12th school district.

That was a school district that focused on mechanical technology.

Although the academy's home planet is said to revere martial arts, it does not mean that martial arts are the only thing here.

Each school district has its own unique characteristics; some focus on dynamics, some on biology, and others on cutting-edge fields such as mechanics, microphysics, and quantum mechanics.

Therefore, in theory, even without joining the martial arts academy, one can still choose other career paths.

However, martial arts remain everyone's first choice.

Who doesn't want to live forever?

Even without the allure of immortality and evolution, the sheer power of possessing such strength alone is incredibly attractive, not to mention the allure of higher social status, greater wealth, and so on.

As the flying bus drew closer, Shen Xing saw scenes he rarely witnessed before.

Completely different from the spacious environment of the Martial Arts Academy, this place is filled with dense high-rise buildings. A significant portion of these buildings are various transformable mechanical structures with metallic sheen on their surfaces. Meanwhile, the shadowy areas on the ground, completely blocked by the high-rises and unable to receive sunlight, are illuminated by various artificial light sources, creating a dazzling cyberpunk atmosphere.

In addition, all kinds of mechanical creations can be seen everywhere.

Most students wear external mechanical power structures that allow them to easily jump several meters high. Some even wear flight devices, some mounted on their legs and others on their backs. The speed is not particularly fast or agile, but it is enough for them to move freely between tall buildings. Flying cars are rarely seen here.

This environment also made Shen Xing realize more realistically that this is a highly developed interstellar era, and it is not just about martial arts.

But why would you choose a place like this?

Someone like him can be identified as a student of the Martial Arts Academy at a glance as soon as he arrives here.

Moreover, it's obvious that their strength is not low.

The minor success of the Dragon-Elephant Body Technique brought about a significant change in Shen Xing's temperament.

This was evident from the glances that came from all directions after Shen Xing got out of the car.

However, he was still wearing his field protection suit, so he wasn't worried about anything. He went straight to the agreed location, a restaurant with a cyberpunk style.

Dim, messy, and dazzling lights everywhere.

However, as soon as he entered, he immediately saw Juan and the others.

Nangong Jinyi was simply too conspicuous here.

She wore a blue jumpsuit with intricate and neat patterns on the upper body, and her hair was elegantly styled in a bun, adorned with gemstone jewelry that sparkled under the dazzling lights.

Coupled with her upright posture and elegant demeanor, she stands out even when sitting in a corner.

It attracted the attention of countless people.

In contrast, Juan and Gu Jiao, who were snuggling together, were so inconspicuous that Shen Xing almost overlooked them.

"Why did we meet here?" Shen Xing walked straight over and sat down with a smile.

"Experiencing a different environment will be very interesting," Nangong Jinyi said, looking Shen Xing up and down. His dark eyes seemed to gleam strangely under the light. "You've become stronger again, much stronger. Are you the Dragon-Elephant Physique?"

"Yes, I just broke through to the minor completion stage." Shen Xing did not deny it.

He had just broken through to the next level, and his breathing was unstable, so it was perfectly normal for people to notice.

As for Nangong Jinyi, she seemed to have changed no more than when they last met, except for her clothes, which only added to her mystery.

After all, she had already broken through to the Bone Refinement stage.

"It seems I need to work harder too," Nangong Jinyi said with a smile. "Otherwise, I might lose to you next time we meet."

"No matter how hard you try, are you going to leave us any way to survive?" Gu Jiao couldn't help but complain from the side. She glanced at Shen Xing and couldn't control her urge to criticize. "I really can't stand you geniuses. You're just here to crush people."

"Your husband Hu is quite the prodigy, he's probably in the late stage of the Body Refinement realm." Shen Xing reached out and pinched Hu An's arm, somewhat surprised.

Juan didn't join Class 2 during his training period; he joined Class 1 instead. They must have broken through to the next training period a week later than him.

But we're already in the later stages, and the speed is already quite fast.

Even if placed in Class Two, they would still be in the top ten.

"It's a martial arts conception," Juan said with a smile, not trying to hide anything. "Gu Jiao bought me a top-tier martial arts conception."

"Even so, the improvement speed is fast enough." Shen Xing understood, but after glancing at Gu Jiao, he didn't say anything.

In fact, it is perfectly normal for friends to help each other, but the better the relationship, the less likely there is to be too much one-sided interest involved.

Those pills from before were nothing compared to what's to come.

However, if the martial arts realm involves tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, then it involves too many things. Even if Shen Xing doesn't care, Hu An would not be able to accept it with a clear conscience.

Either refuse, or develop a subordinate relationship, but in doing so, the pure nature of the current relationship is lost.

Fortunately, it seems that Juan also has his own opportunities, being able to buy top-level martial arts artifacts for his boyfriend. Gu Jiao's background is probably just as extraordinary.

Find an opportunity to have a good talk with Juan.

But now is clearly not the right time.

"Jinyi." Shen Xing looked at Nangong Jinyi and asked with a smile, "How's your mission going? I've also joined the disciplinary department."

"The mission in Linhai City is indeed quite difficult." Nangong Jinyi seemed to understand that Shen Xing was changing the subject of cultivation, but she had the same idea. Following Shen Xing's words, she said, "A very powerful armed force has appeared here. It is suspected that it is being supported by an anti-Federal organization. They can even obtain some prohibited weapons that are forbidden from being produced or used. The number of students being persecuted is very large."

"Oh? Weapons are banned?" Shen Xing was genuinely curious this time.

Since experiencing the power of the POD firsthand, he has become a semi-military enthusiast, showing great interest in all kinds of weapons of this era.

Even the Federation of Humankind has explicitly banned the production and use of such a weapon. How powerful must it be?

Is this something a student could get?

"It's a nanoscale human body control device." Nangong Jinyi's expression turned unusually serious. "The main body of this device is a nanoscale mechanical unit. Once it is mass-produced and invades the human body, it can affect nerve transmission, threaten life safety, and monitor freedom to achieve the purpose of coercion and control of others. Because it violates humanitarian regulations, the Human Federation ordered a ban on its research and use in 3278. However, some anti-Federation organizations have never stopped researching and developing it. There are already devices in interstellar space that can directly control physical actions and hypnotize and affect thoughts and personality. They are widely used in the illegal interstellar human trafficking market, and now they have even flowed into the Academy's home planet."

"That scary?"

Gu Jiao gasped in surprise.

This was clearly the first time I'd heard of it.

Shen Xing was also somewhat surprised.

If one's physical actions are controlled by others, or even if one's thoughts and personality are influenced by hypnosis, then there is no difference between them and slaves.

but

If I could use it in another world, it seems quite useful.

Pang Yue and the captured beast tamer have been very tough these days, refusing to answer anything. For a warrior with a strong will, torture is not very effective. As a result, after several days, they have not obtained any information, let alone any methods of controlling demonic beasts, or even any intelligence information about the large city called Jiaolong City.

"So, this thing is actually quite common in interstellar space?" Shen Xing couldn't help but ask.

“…” Nangong Jinyi was silent for a moment before saying softly, “There will always be some differences between the regulations and the actual situation.”
