Star Martial Era: From Mortal to Emperor

Lin Chen strode out of Qingyang City No. 3 High School. The streets were bustling with traffic and pedestrians hurrying by. On the bulletin boards along the street, there were still recruitment notices from the Martial Arts Army, enrollment posters from the Martial Arts Academy, and bounty notices from the Savage Beasts, all of which highlighted the essence of this world where martial arts reigned supreme.

The martial artists by the roadside exuded varying degrees of aura and blood energy, their steps hurried. The lower-level martial artists struggled for survival, while the higher-level martial artists enjoyed the awe of the world. The hierarchy was clear and distinct.

Lin Chen stopped and stood on the side of the street. He took a deep breath, feeling the surging star power and blood in his body, as well as the crystal-clear "Ancient Star Martial Body Forging Technique" in his mind. He finally confirmed that everything he had just experienced was not an illusion.

He truly awakened the Star Martial Core left behind by the first Star Martial Emperor, obtained the ancient inheritance, and possessed the power to defy fate.

Looking down at his hands, Lin Chen's eyes were filled with determination.

In the past, he cultivated the mortal-grade "Basic Body Forging Technique". He was mediocre in talent and had no one to rely on. He couldn't even protect his family or reach the peak of martial arts. He was powerless to even buy a Qi and Blood Pill worth five thousand yuan. He could only watch his father on the verge of death and feel utterly hopeless.

Now, he possesses the ancient-grade "Ancient Star Martial Body Forging Technique". This technique not only allows for cultivation speed far exceeding all other techniques in the world, but also enables the deduction of other techniques, the repair of the physical body, and the breaking of barriers. Furthermore, it contains complete martial arts moves. Whether it is the speed of the Star Chasing Step or the power of the Myriad Manifestations Fist, they are incomparable to mid-grade or high-grade techniques.

In this martial arts world where techniques are paramount, possessing an ancient inherited technique is equivalent to possessing all possibilities!

He no longer had to struggle to cultivate without making any progress, no longer had to endure the bullying and ridicule of others, and no longer had to face the despair of being powerless to help his family members in danger!

The Qi and Blood Pill, costing five thousand Chinese currency, was an astronomical sum for him in the past, but for him now, it's not a problem at all.

In this world, martial artists have many ways to acquire wealth: hunting ferocious beasts to obtain inner cores, accepting mercenary missions to earn commissions, participating in martial arts competitions to win prize money... With his current strength at the seventh level of the Body Tempering Realm, coupled with the blessing of the Ancient Star Martial Arts Technique, he can go to the low-level ferocious beast forest area on the outskirts of the city to hunt low-level ferocious beasts, exchange them for enough money to buy Qi and Blood Pills!

The Beast Forest is located on the outskirts of Qingyang City, on the edge of the Beast Wilderness. It is inhabited only by low-level beasts of the first and second tiers, whose strength is limited. It is a place where lower-level martial artists can earn their first pot of gold. Although there are certain risks, Lin Chen can handle it at his current level.

With that thought in mind, Lin Chen no longer hesitated and immediately turned around and headed towards the ferocious beast forest area on the outskirts of the city.

His steps were steady and powerful, each step filled with strength. Gone was his former inferiority and timidity, replaced by unwavering confidence and determination.

As he walked, Lin Chen silently circulated the "Ancient Star Martial Body Forging Technique." The free spiritual energy in the world was continuously absorbed into his body and transformed into his own blood and qi. He could clearly feel that his strength was steadily improving and he was getting closer and closer to the eighth level of the Body Forging Realm.

He also carefully sorted out the complete system of cultivation techniques and martial arts moves in his mind, and thoroughly memorized the nine moves of the "Ancient Star Martial Body Forging Technique".

Star Power Body Forging: Using the spiritual energy of the starry sky to temper the physical body, strengthen its physical strength, and resist attacks from ferocious beasts;

The surge of Qi and blood rapidly stimulates the body's Qi and blood, enhancing instantaneous explosive power;

Unblocking meridians and refining bones: opening up the meridians throughout the body, strengthening muscles and bones, and paving the way for subsequent realms;

The Myriad Forms Fist combines hardness and softness, possessing immense power; it is a fundamental close-combat martial art.

The Star Chasing Step is a ghostly movement with unparalleled speed, capable of both offense and defense, and allowing for agile dodging.

……

Each move was incredibly profound and powerful, far surpassing the mid-grade "Blood Forging Technique" that Zhang Hao cultivated.

Lin Chen knew perfectly well that this was merely the basic body-forging technique inherited from the ancient Star Martial Arts. As his realm continued to improve, the Star Martial Arts Core would unlock even more ancient techniques and advanced martial skills, at which point his strength would become even greater!

From the physical training and blood cultivation of the mortal realm, to the gathering of qi, opening of meridians, and transformation of qi into qi in the human martial realm, and then to the earth martial realm, the heaven martial realm, and even the legendary martial emperor realm and star martial emperor realm, the once unattainable path to the pinnacle of martial arts is now slowly unfolding beneath his feet.

He thought of his critically injured father in the hospital, his mother crying in despair at home, his parents' hard work and sacrifices over the years, the bullying and mockery from Zhang Hao and others, and the martial arts world where the strong prey on the weak and injustice abounds.

The conviction in my heart grew stronger.

He needed to hunt down the ferocious beasts as soon as possible, earn money, buy the Qi and Blood Pill, and save his father.

He must cultivate diligently, quickly improve his realm, be admitted to a top martial arts academy, and lead his parents out of their impoverished fate so that they can live a stable and prosperous life.

He will rely on the ancient star martial arts inheritance to overcome all obstacles, sweep away all powerful enemies, crush all injustices, and make all those who once bullied and looked down on him look up to him.

He will follow in the footsteps of the first Star Martial Emperor, grow stronger and stronger, protect his family and the territory of the human race, and on this Blue Water Star surrounded by ferocious beasts and lurking evil races, he will forge his own path to the heavens and create his own Star Martial Era!

He was born into poverty and had nothing. In the world of martial arts, he was like dust, insignificant and humble.

But from the moment he awakened the core of the Star Martial Arts, the former Lin Chen was dead. What was reborn from the ashes was a young martial artist destined to rise against the heavens and shake the world!

So what if you come from a poor family? So what if you have no resources or connections?

With the inheritance of ancient star martial arts, I can reach the heavens with a single thought and defy fate!

With a strong determination to protect my family, I can overcome any obstacle and fear nothing!

Lin Chen stopped and looked up into the distance. The ferocious beast forest on the outskirts of the city was faintly visible. The sky was vast and the path of martial arts was long, but his eyes were incredibly bright, filled with unwavering courage and determination.

He clenched his fists, starlight swirling around him, his blood and energy abundant. The young man's figure was tall and resolute, radiating a dazzling light in the sunlight.

His martial arts journey officially begins at this moment!

His steps were firm as he walked towards the Beast Forest. Every step he took was a step towards the future, towards the pinnacle of martial arts, and a powerful challenge to all injustice and suffering!
