Chapter 147 A New Era
During this period of time, Lin Feng had been collecting some detailed information regarding the cultivation levels of Metamorphic Realm martial artists.
Hence, Lin Feng also learned some things.
The First, Second, and Third Levels of the Metamorphic Realm were not life transitions, nor were there any fundamental differences. The essences of life of Metamorphic Realm martial artists were actually the same, and were not inferior or superior to each other.
The reason why there was such an obvious distinction between the three minor realms of Metamorphic Realm martial artists was actually due to Astral Power.
After Metamorphic Realm martial artists broke the genetic lock, they could accommodate the power of the stars in the cosmos and convert it into Astral Power. From then on, Astral Power became the key to continued metamorphosis and eventual transition of life for Metamorphic Realm martial artists.
Astral Power was the key, but there was a limit to the capacity of Astral Power in the human body. Perhaps strengthening the physique could allow one to accommodate more Astral Power, but this was just Lin Feng’s own hypothesis.
Among so many martial artists, it was hard to say that none of them had stronger physiques. Why were they still unable to break through the limit? They still had only 99 strands of Astral Power at the First Level of the Metamorphic Realm.
This was basically the case for all martial artists. Lin Feng was just an exception. This meant that continuing to strengthen his physique to accommodate more Astral Power would not work. Lin Feng was only in a very special situation and could not extend it to all martial artists.
Then, what should he do to accommodate more Astral Power?
The martial artists naturally thought of a solution, and that was compression! Astral Power was ethereal, and every strand was thinner than a strand of hair. It could not even be seen with the naked eye. If they continued to compress Astral Power and make room, they would naturally be able to accommodate more Astral Power.
This was a method that martial artists had thought of a long time ago. And the facts proved that this method was indeed feasible. Once the Astral Power in the body reached the limit, one could compress it with strong mental will, and compress it constantly. In theory, even compressing billions of strands of Astral Power would make for less mass than a drop of water.
Astral Power could be compressed nigh infinitely, but the key was how one’s mental will could compress Astral Power.
Some martial artists had always stayed at the First Level of the Metamorphic Realm after breaking the genetic lock. This was because their mental wills were not strong enough to compress Astral Power.
Mental will was abstract and almost useless at the level of a professional martial artist. However, after breaking the genetic lock, mental will became extremely important.
There were many ways to train one’s mental will, but the most effective was undoubtedly life-or-death pressure and mortal battles. Life-or-death battles were the ones that tempered one’s mental will the most. If one wanted a mental will sharp like a blade, they would have to experience countless life-or-death battles.
This was also why most of the Metamorphic Realm martial artists in the government faction were at the First Level of the Metamorphic Realm, and even fewer were at the Second Level. As for those Legates who had undergone two life transitions, they had also gone to the battlefield to fight back when they were Metamorphic Realm martial artists. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to undergo the second transition of life.
However, after attaining Divine Realm, they did not want to go to the battlefield anymore, so they retreated to the homefront.
Was Lin Feng’s mental will strong enough?
Actually, Lin Feng himself did not know either, but he estimated that his mental will should be quite strong. After all, he had been tormented by illness since he was young. Later on, he had fused the genes of dire beasts and was affected by the genes of dire beasts, so he had to completely eliminate that influence. These all required a strong mental will.
Hence, Lin Feng’s mental will should be quite strong. This was also why Lin Feng had decided to compress his Astral Power and break through now.
Lin Feng had only broken the genetic lock for a month or two, but he was already preparing to break through and reach the Second Level of the Metamorphic Realm. This was unheard of. Even a Sage would not have such a fast cultivation speed.
After all, it had only been a month or two, and his body had yet to complete its metamorphosis. Ordinary martial artists could not possibly condense their Astral Power to the limit of 99 strands. But as for Lin Feng?
Whether Lin Feng’s body metamorphosed or not did not actually matter. This was because even if the Astral Power compression failed, his body would definitely be able to withstand the impact of the Astral Power with his physique. There was no need to wait until his body had completed metamorphosis.
As for his limit? Lin Feng had already condensed 523 strands of Astral Power. The Astral Power in his body had long reached its limit. He was perfectly ready to compress Astral Power and attempt to break through.
Lin Feng seemed to have met all the requirements, regardless of aspect.
Since he had already met the conditions for advancement, Lin Feng would not deliberately delay it. If he could break through sooner, he would break sooner. After what happened in Stone City, he understood that his current strength was insignificant. He was far from the point where he could lay back.
“Then I’ll begin.”
Lin Feng took a deep breath and prepared to compress his Astral Power.
Just as Lin Feng was trying his best to compress his Astral Power and attempt to break through to the Second Level of the Metamorphic Realm, a huge commotion had already broken out in the South Mountain Base and even the entire world.
The reason was that the Nine Sages and the five major factions had issued a “reform opinion”.
It improved the status and benefits of martial artists on the frontline in all aspects of society. Be it the inhuman experts or professional martial artists on the frontline, their status and benefits were greatly improved.
If martial artists on the frontline had committed a crime, they could only be tried in a Martial Artist Court jointly established by the five major factions, completely depriving the government faction of jurisdiction and administrative rights over martial artists.
Anyone who committed crimes against martial artists would be severely punished. Moreover, the punishment authority would be transferred to the Martial Artist Court formed by the five major factions.
More importantly, all the inhuman experts of the government faction must undergo compulsory military service and fight with the dire beasts at the frontline. They were no different from the inhuman experts of the other four factions.
Inhuman experts had to undergo compulsory military service. If they disobeyed, the law enforcement team formed by the five major factions would capture them and hand them over to the Martial Artist Court for punishment.
The position of Legates of the government faction was stripped from the government. The five major factions would agree on sending Divine Realm experts from the five major factions to be the Legates of all important cities. They were no longer in charge of the civilian affairs and only dealt with matters related to martial artists.
It is not compulsory for ordinary professional martial artists to go to the frontline. They are only encouraged to go to the frontline. All professional martial artists at the frontline received generous subsidies.
It was a shock. The entire world was shocked. This news was simply too shocking.
Everyone knew what this meant. This meant that a new era had arrived, an era dominated by martial artists!
The five major factions raised the status of martial artists and completely formed a martial artist class that exceeded the ordinary class. If this rule was carried out, in less than three to five years, the entire society would undergo a complete change, forming a zeitgeist that favored martial arts.
As for the various privileges that martial artists received, some were supportive, while others opposed.
Those who were supportive felt that human society had been at peace for too long. Ordinary people even felt that martial artists were insignificant, but in reality, humans were in deep danger. The entire world still belonged to the dire beasts, and humans did not dominate. They had to advocate martial arts and raise the social status of martial artists.
Those who opposed it felt that most humans were ordinary people, and everyone was equal. No one should rise above ordinary people. They even went on mass protests for this.

However, no matter how much they objected or went on mass protests, it was useless. This had been agreed upon by the Nine Sages and the five major factions. Currently, human society was itself dominated by the five major factions.
The five major factions did not just include martial artists. There were also some scholars, high-ranking government officials, and so on. With the support of the legendary Nine Sages, these rules were quickly established by legislation and officially implemented.
All the martial artists at the frontline were jubilant and excited. Some martial artists even had tears streaming down their faces. They could finally be completely assured when risking their lives on the frontline.
Even if they died in battle, they did not need to worry about their family’s future livelihood.
As for the martial artists from the government faction, their faces were ashen. Even the Legates flew into a rage.
But what could it do?

A Legate who publicly violated the rule was even executed by experts sent by the government faction itself. After this incident, everyone knew that the government faction was also determined to support this rule.
Thus, no one dared to object to it openly anymore.
However, a name gradually spread in the martial artist circle: Lin Feng!
It was rumored that it was precisely because Lin Feng had wreaked havoc in Stone City that he had attracted the attention of the Nine Sages. In the end, they held a Conference of Sages to discuss this resolution.
Lin Feng could be considered the initiator of the new era! He was remembered by many martial artists. No matter what Lin Feng’s achievements were in the future, his name would not be forgotten.
