All Heavens: Starting as a Sacrifice

"Whether it's this combat suit or the sword, the best price at Extreme House is 15 billion," Luo Feng said in a low voice.

"What are you going to do?" Li Yi asked.

"Well..." Luo Feng slowly stood up.

Chapter Fifty-One Special Envoy

"Here, take this combat uniform and this sword. Try to sell them for me." Luo Feng tossed the combat uniform and sword over.

Li Yi didn't refuse and reached out to catch it. "You're really generous, kid. This combat suit, even if it's secondhand, would be worth at least 10 billion."

"We're friends, aren't we?" Luo Feng smiled, extremely happy.

"Eat first. I've managed to get my hands on a manual on mental cultivation techniques. I'll teach it to you after we finish eating." Li Yi tossed his combat uniform and sword back into the iron box.

Luo Feng, however, became interested. "A mental cultivation method?"

He had previously paid attention to this matter, but there was no record of it in the Extreme House, only a vague mention that it was extremely valuable.

The House of Limits sells everything, except for this method of cultivating mental power.

Based on this alone, one can imagine that the value of this kind of practice is probably astronomical.

"Wait a minute, aren't cultivation techniques supposed to be kept secret?" Luo Feng suddenly realized this.

"That's certainly true, but unfortunately, I found this cultivation technique myself; it doesn't belong to our era..." Li Yi began to lie through his teeth.

He fabricated a story to convince Luo Feng that he had found the cultivation manual in an ancient ruin.

Furthermore, this ancient ruin also allowed him to awaken his spiritual power, thus his strength increased rapidly.

"You're really lucky!" Luo Feng was both happy for his friend and a little envious.

I've been hunting monsters outside all this time, so why am I so unlucky as to fall into an ancient ruin?

"This is a cultivation manual, my translated version, along with some of my cultivation insights," Li Yi said, taking out his notebook.

The paper was covered with dense writing, containing key points of spiritual practice as well as some of his own insights.

Luo Feng quickly scanned the document. The cultivation methods described were quite unusual, and more importantly, this was his first time encountering anything related to mental cultivation.

"We'll talk later, I'm going to practice now." He was very eager and anxious, wanting to get started and experience it immediately.

Luo Feng jogged off to practice his visualization meditation, while Li Yi picked up his combat uniform and the SS-grade sword.

I'll keep the combat uniform for myself, but I still need to figure out what to do with the sword.

That's not difficult at all. Just contact Manager Zhuge; he'll definitely have the connections.

However, a sword is not like a combat suit; not just anyone can use it. It requires not only expertise but also sufficient strength to wield.

Therefore, not only will they not sell as well as combat uniforms, but they may also be cheaper.

"Manager Zhuge? I have a precious sword to sell, an SS-grade one. Yes, the one from the Extreme House." He made a video call after arriving at the second-floor audio-visual room.

Zhuge Tao's expression was somewhat strange upon hearing his words. "Logically, I shouldn't ask, but I still want to ask, where did you obtain this sword?"

"I found it." Li Yi said seriously, without even blinking.

Then he embellished the lies he had told Luo Feng and told them to Zhuge Tao again.

He accidentally stumbled into an ancient ruin and found this sword there.

While the probability of this is low, it's not impossible.

Every year, several of these precious swords end up in the wild.

There are always powerful warriors who carry such weapons, and one of them accidentally dies in the wilderness.

The probability of accidentally entering an ancient ruin is low, but it's certainly not impossible.

“Okay, I’ll help you contact someone to sell it. By the way, the people who will be taking the assessment the day after tomorrow will be coming to the Jiangnan base. You need to come to headquarters then,” Zhuge Tao said.

"Mm." Li Yi nodded slightly.

…………

Luo Feng was still practicing at this moment, establishing his visualization goal.

Li Yi also entered into cultivation, something he couldn't neglect even for a day.

If one slacks off for even a day, one is very likely to become lazy and unable to persevere in the arduous practice.

The next day, Zhuge Tao sent a message saying that the sword had been sold for nine billion.

Luo Feng was clearly delighted upon hearing the news. He was going to save money, a lot of money, because he planned to buy a bottle of the Water of Life.

This thing can revive human flesh, bones, and regenerate severed limbs.

His younger brother, Luo Hua, was in a car accident when he was young, which left him with a leg injury that prevented him from standing.

He then wanted to buy a bottle of the Water of Life so that his younger brother could stand up again.

Looking at the money transferred into his account, Li Yi didn't think much of it and rounded it up to 10 billion, sending it to Luo Feng.

"Didn't it only sell for nine billion?" Luo Feng asked, peeking out of his bedroom.

“Take it if I give it to you. I don’t have any more. I’m using the money to buy cultivation techniques,” Li Yi replied.

Luo Feng didn't say much. Their relationship had become much closer than before, and once the relationship became closer, there was no need to care so much about many things.

It doesn't matter who suffers a loss or who gains a benefit.

However, at this moment, a martial artist came to Mingyue Community looking for Li Yi.

It was none other than Wang Heng, the manager of the Thunder Martial Arts School, who had previously tried to win him over during the martial arts combat assessment.

"Manager Wang, what do you want with me?" Li Yi was truly puzzled.

"I've heard that you've broken through to the God of War level," Wang Heng said.

Li Yi was taken aback when he heard his words. How did the other party know about this? Could it be that Manager Zhuge told him?

"Damn it, we can always find talented young talents like Zhuge Tao, but why can't I find any?" Wang Heng complained, seemingly extremely indignant.

"Alright, seeing you once is enough. My matter is settled. I'll thank you and your Manager Zhuge later." After saying that, he left without looking back, dialing a phone as he walked.

"Zhuge Tao, I've done what you asked me to do. You have to treat me to dinner tonight, no matter what. Damn it, why can you always find such good talents, but I can't!"

Li Yi watched him leave, pondering deeply, when suddenly something seemed to strike his mind.

He understood why Zhuge Tao wanted to reveal his breakthrough to the God of War level, and even why he wanted Wang Heng to come to him.

This is a way of showing that many people know about this talented prospect and that many people are trying to win him over.

In this way, the martial arts school will offer more and better resources in order to recruit them.

In that case, I really should thank Manager Zhuge.

Thinking of this, Li Yi couldn't help but chuckle. Manager Zhuge really had put a lot of thought into it.

…………

…………

The following day, Li Yi went to the headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy in Jiangnan City.

Zhuge Tao was waiting outside the headquarters early on.

"Supervisor," Li Yi said upon seeing him.

"Come with me, our president and the special envoy from headquarters are waiting for you."

The two entered the silver-white martial arts building, where the staff seemed to be on high alert.

Take the elevator up to the top floor of the clubhouse.

"This is Chairman Zhou of the Extreme Sports Association at our Jiangnan City base, and this is Special Envoy Yang from headquarters," Zhuge Tao introduced the two to Li Yi.

"So you're Li Yi. I never expected that our Jiangnan Base Extreme Martial Arts Academy would produce such a genius as you." Yang Hui, dressed in a gray robe, spoke in an extremely amiable manner.

“Our Jiangnan City base produces several top geniuses every year,” Chairman Zhou Yongzheng said, but then changed the subject, “However, there are indeed not many like Li Yi.”

Everyone laughed when he finished speaking.

In fact, every war god is quite aloof in their daily lives.

But that's for ordinary people. For cultivators of the same level, they naturally deserve respect.

Although Li Yi is young, he is also a powerful warrior at the God of War level.

The two war gods naturally wouldn't put on airs like war god-level powerhouses in front of him.

"Alright, enough chit-chat." Yang Hui took out a contract.

"I believe I've already explained to you, Zhuge Tao, why I'm here. Take a look at the contract terms, and if you're satisfied, we'll sign it."

Li Yi reached out and took it.

Chapter 52 Ultimate Martial Arts School Headquarters

Li Yi carefully scanned the contract terms, not missing or overlooking a single word.

This is the official recruitment contract for the Extreme Martial Arts Academy, unlike the contracts for ordinary martial artists.

Ordinary martial artists do not receive any salary when joining the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy, and the academy itself does not have many requirements for its members.

This contract is different; it includes both rights and benefits, as well as accompanying responsibilities.

Once he signs this contract, he will receive eight billion in activity funds from the martial arts school every year.

This salary is already quite substantial, considering that even the highest-ranking inspector in the God of War series only has an annual operating budget of 10 billion.

Each member of the monitoring room is a high-level war god, and I am still some distance away from that level.

This didn't surprise him, after all, he had shown enough talent to be not only a martial artist but also a mentalist.

From the time he started cultivating until now, less than half a year has passed, yet he has already become a war god-level existence.

Almost everyone believed that as long as he lived, he would surely become an existence surpassing even the God of War.
