High-level martial arts: Contract cashback, invincible starting from the Zerg.

As Chen Feng walked out of the advanced tempering room and prepared to return to his apartment...

As Chen Feng passed by the Martial God Ranking Hall, he saw dozens of tall, straight figures standing quietly in the Martial God Ladder Hall, wearing nano suits.

The main body of the suit is mostly black, and the fabric clings to the skin like flowing water. The energy conduction patterns sometimes emit a faint silver or ice blue light.

According to Su Qingyuan, each of these nanosuits costs over ten million yuan, and both the energy conduction patterns and the combat functional components are compatible with the attributes of the God of War.

Every undulation of the faint light on the nano armor is like a part of the martial gods' bodies, and also a perfect fusion of Gu Yongshangcheng's power and technology.

Chen Feng stopped and walked into the Martial God Ladder Hall.

At this moment, dozens of martial gods focused their gazes on the giant holographic screen in front of the Heavenly Ladder Hall.

The screen was light blue with tiny nano-sized light particles around its edges. The image was extremely clear, and even the patterns on the stone steps of the Heavenly Ladder and the energy fluctuations around the challengers were clearly visible.

On the screen, various combat data of the players who have cleared the level are displayed in real time, such as the strength of their moves, hit rate, and damage, which are all displayed in the corner of the screen, making them accurate and intuitive.

When Chen Feng looked at the center of the live broadcast screen.

He saw a challenger dressed in nanotech armor struggling against a virtual opponent.

The moment his gaze locked on Chen Feng, his pupils contracted sharply, and even his breathing became somewhat labored.

The identity marker in the corner of the screen clearly flashed, prominently displaying the challenger's rank—Heavenly Rank 15.

Chen Feng had indeed encountered quite a few Heaven-rank martial artists.

Both the Heavenly Rank Darkborn Seal and the Demon Nefarian possess an immense energy density far exceeding that of the Earthly Rank, along with deadly combat talent.

However, the Heavenly Realm expert in the picture was different from the alien experts Chen Feng had encountered.

Facing the seventh-level Heavenly Rank Virtual Martial God, the challenger did not exhibit any violent energy fluctuations, and every move was executed with optimal efficiency. Each attack and defense was precisely targeted at the enemy's weaknesses and offensive strategies.

In this battle, which resembled a sophisticated game of strategy, the patterns on the nanosuits worn by the challengers would sometimes surge with energy and sometimes dim.

However, almost every attack landed at the optimal solution for both attack and defense.

The skill effectiveness value on the screen remained consistently above 75%, far exceeding the average effectiveness value of 45% for Heavenly Realm experts in the Great Xia Kingdom.

Just as Chen Feng was engrossed in watching...

A steady, powerful hand gently patted Chen Feng's shoulder.

Immediately, a gentle voice sounded beside Chen Feng: "Junior, just finished your tempering?"

Chen Feng looked to his side in confusion.

He was a tall and upright man.

He was dressed in a dark blue nanotech combat suit, with a handsome and gentle face, a faint smile on his lips, and a humble demeanor in every gesture.

He seemed like a literary swordsman shrouded in scholarly air.

However, the man's eyes seemed to conceal a sharpness that was completely opposite to his gentle appearance.

His eyes were as cold as deep purple jade, and with just a glance, he seemed to have seen through Chen Feng's disguise of strength.

That extraordinary insight was strikingly similar to Su Qingyuan's penetrating sharpness and Yu Qian's profound and enigmatic nature.

"Who are you?" Chen Feng asked, frowning.

Mu Wen nodded calmly, but his gaze fell on the diamond pupil in Chen Feng's left eye, and a hint of amusement appeared in his expression.

"My name is Mu Wen, a disciple of the Desolate Rank under Instructor Yu Qian."

Chen Feng's heart jolted, and the secrets of the ranks that Su Qingyuan had introduced instantly flooded his mind.

On Blue Star, where Chen Feng once lived, most powerful individuals could only come into contact with Earth-rank experts, Heaven-rank experts could only be encountered occasionally, and Hong-rank experts like Chen Feng were almost impossible to be widely known.

However, when Chen Feng stepped into the Martial God Palace in Gu Yong's Upper City, he discovered that the ranks above the Desolate Rank in the Great Xia Dynasty were even more powerful.

Below the Desolate Rank, powerful individuals in major ranks such as Earth Rank and Heaven Rank are divided into 3-4 levels based on their individual talent attributes. However, when a powerful individual advances to the Desolate Rank, each major rank gains two additional levels.

In other words, you need to advance at least 5 levels to advance to each major rank.

Don't underestimate this seemingly insignificant two-level difference; it has become an insurmountable barrier for countless geniuses.

No matter how high a Desolate Rank expert's cultivation reaches, they have absolutely no chance of competing with a Flood Rank expert.

Advancement to the next higher rank, such as the Desolate Rank, has long since transcended the simple accumulation of experience points. Each level requires not only a massive amount of martial arts experience, but also formidable personal talent and various techniques to ensure a high success rate. It also requires long-term tempering of one's physical body.

The resources and opportunities required to advance one level above the Desolate Rank are more than ten times that of a Heaven Rank martial artist.

And to leapfrog to a higher rank is as difficult as ascending to heaven!

To advance to the peak of the Earth Rank, one needs a vast amount of family resources and continuous personal effort.

Once a martial artist reaches the Heavenly Realm, they will find themselves facing a vast ocean. Even if they fight with all their might and risk their lives, they will not be able to see where they can reach the shore.

Chen Feng looked at Mu Wen, his surprise and doubt deepening.

Mu Wen seemed to see through his thoughts, and his cold, amethyst-like eyes curved slightly.

"It seems that even the junior student is aware of the rules for higher ranks."

After saying that, Mu Wen raised his finger and pointed to the giant holographic screen in front of him. The level 15 challenger on the screen was still playing a precise game, with the effectiveness of his moves remaining above 75%, which caused the surrounding martial artists to discuss in hushed tones.

"The challenger before us is already at the top of the Heaven Rank, which is enough to make him a formidable opponent in the outer realms. However, if he were to encounter a martial artist at the early stage of the Desolate Rank from the Martial God Academy, he would still be defeated within three moves."

Mu Wen's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable certainty.

"This is the difference between major ranks; a chasm that is as vast as the difference between heaven and earth."
