Chapter 38: Cheating

He opened the Global Martial Arts website and scanned the QR code on his ID Card.

The moment it was scanned, he was taken directly to a new website, or rather, an actual website belonging to the Federation.

This website didn’t just include news about the Martial Arts, but it was also a store, a learning site, a banking site, and contained a lot of information.

Fortunately, there was a search option.

He directly typed what he wanted to know into the search option and quickly found the answer.

But he found something even more interesting. His own system was blinking rapidly.

It was flickering a red light out of the corner of his eye.

Originally, he wouldn’t have noticed this, but the brightness of the screen was quite low, which allowed him to see the reflection.

’System, are you trying to steal data from this website?’

[Yes, Host! The System needs new information to understand this world better. Considering the amount of information stored on their server, the system can learn a lot about this world.]

’But aren’t you a mystical creation? How can you hack into the main server of the federation? Won’t they find out about it?’

[Host, the creator, modeled me after an actual AI, which means he modeled his legacy into a task-reward type system.]

[Although I wasn’t created using the digital codes, I do have complete access to the digital network and complete control of the digital data.]

[This makes me the most powerful Artificial Intelligence in the world. So, nobody can trace your location.]

Hearing that explanation, Levi’s lips twitched.

’You could just say that. But thanks for the explanation.’

After thinking for a moment, Levi asked.

’System, besides the legacy itself, what can you do?’

Just as he asked that, he was met with a frenzy of notifications.

[Ding! You made a human hate you and received 20EP]

[Ding! You made a human hate you and received 20EP]

[Ding! You made a human hate you and received 20EP]

[Ding! You made a human hate you and received 20EP]

[Ding! You made a human hate you and received 20EP]

At this moment, Levi was stunned.

’What’s going on?’

[Host, they found out about my invasion of their server.]

’What?’

Levi’s heartbeat soared. He panicked so hard that he almost had a heart attack.

[Do not worry, Host! As I said, they can’t trace your position. Of course, if they could, you would be earning 100EP from every single one of them.]

Levi’s heartbeat slowly calmed down.

’System, do you realize just how panicked I was for a moment?’

[Yes, Host! I apologize for making you worried.]

Levi took a deep breath and released it. He did it several times before he finally shook his head.

’I can accept it. So, I just got 100EP out of nowhere?’

[The system can trace and absorb all kinds of negative emotions towards Host. My actions have caused severe emotional outbursts from certain people.]

Hearing that, Levi nodded.

’I see. You hacked into their server. Of course, they will be mad. But because they don’t know my identity, you can only absorb a portion of their negative emotions.’

This idea felt very similar to his Council plan. Only two people had joined the council, and both weren’t bad person.

So, he had received no EP from them except for their initial joining.

This gave him an idea. What if he used the system to do this again and again?

Would he earn more points?

He quickly shook his head, not having the guts to try something like this.

Levi wasn’t a coward when it came to doing good things, but he was when doing bad things.

’So, did you manage to access all the information?’

[Yes and No! I was able to access all the information, but things like techniques and martial arts that are essential for you can’t be accessed.]

[They keep a physical hard drive for every single one of them. They copy the information from the hard drive into a chip that they can sell to the public.]

Hearing that, Levi nodded.

This was a good idea. The information in the server could be hacked. By doing this, not only were they keeping the information safe, but also digital.

He believed they had also kept books about those techniques and arts, just in case they might need something like that.

’100EP’

Gulp!

Levi couldn’t help but feel excited. For an entire week, he had barely earned any EP.

He was able to practice the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique to the Entry Realm by solely relying on his talent.

But he had his limits.

He couldn’t understand the mysteries of the technique.

According to the notes, it turned out that several different hand signs and imprints could be used while practicing this technique.

Putting aside hand signs, which needed perfect coordination of blood energy, just learning about imprints felt impossible.

It was almost like forming a symbol inside his cells using the blood energy.

This would then help temper his bones and muscles using the blood energy. Of course, this also meant he would move towards the Minor Mastery Realm.

Before that, he needed to reach the Beginner Realm, which could be achieved through a lot of training.

He could now shorten that training with those evil points.

’So, do you know why I was getting headaches while practicing Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique?’

[Yes, Host! The Third-Grade Technique already deals with the spiritual energy of the user.]

[Though it is not focused on spiritual energy, it does use spiritual energy to help your blood cells merge with a higher portion of cosmic energy in your body.]

[You must understand. Those Blood Energy Pills contain a small portion of cosmic energy. So, all of the blood energy you have absorbed into your body has given you a lot of cosmic energy.]

[But considering that dealing with cosmic energy requires spiritual energy, you can feel exhaustion in your brain after hours of long practice]

[Immediate remedies can be rest, sleep, or consuming resources that provide you with spiritual energy.]

[Host, I have access to Soul Heaven Incense. Would you like to buy a packet? It can help you with the recovery of spiritual energy.]

Hearing that, Levi’s lips twitched.

’So, if I hadn’t had such a high spiritual energy level, I wouldn’t even be able to practice Third Grade Technique.’

’Tsk! No wonder Martial Artists have made such polygamy rules.’

’Unless they are willing to bet everything on luck, only powerful Martial Artists’ children can learn higher-grade techniques.’

’No wonder both Mary and Mike could learn third-grade techniques.’

Levi couldn’t help but feel speechless. But this time, he didn’t feel any envy towards them.

With his system, he had nothing to worry about.

’By the way, system, is there anything that can help my parents improve their spiritual energy? Can that incense help?’

[Yes, there are plenty of resources, but Soul Heaven Incense can indeed help your parents. It’s just that they need to train their soul.]

[During the process, they will use spiritual energy to enhance their soul, which can in turn produce more spiritual energy.]

[But to achieve that, they need a lot of spiritual energy, which can be provided by the incense.]

Levi immediately understood this logic.

Let his parents spend their spiritual energy to improve their souls. Instead of using other resources, rely on incense to recover their spiritual energy.

Then, do it again until their soul evolves. Once their soul evolves, the amount of spiritual energy it can produce will double.

If they do this a few times, they could easily reach the Grandmaster Realm.

As for the Grand Martial Artist Realm, it was no longer a problem.

’Good! So, how much does this incense cost?’

Immediately, a new panel appeared in front of him.

[Item: Soul Heaven Incense

Description: Helps in Spiritual Energy Recovery

Cost: 10EP/packet

Note: Each packet contains ten sticks]

’I can buy ten of them, but I only need one for a test. By the way, my parents should have an Energy Guiding Technique, right?’

’I need to ask them about it. I need to tell them to start improving their strength.’

Thinking about this, Levi almost forgot about the Red Sun Refinement Technique.

This was about refining the spiritual energy. So, when he looked for a Third Grade Technique in the system, he found several of them.

He looked at the cost, and each one cost him the same as the Body Strengthening Technique.

But he wasn’t buying a Body Strengthening Technique. His goal was the Energy Refinement Technique.

After a while, he found a perfect technique.

[Primal Force Refinement Technique]

This technique was created to refine the spiritual energy into an extremely powerful primal force.

He couldn’t read more about this technique since it only had a description.

According to the description, Primal Force wasn’t inferior to the Star Energy, which burned hotter than a sun.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to buy it. He knew his parents did have an Energy Guiding Technique but not a Refinement Technique.
