Permanent Martial Arts

Chapter 276: Robot Army

“Yuanyi, what good news can make you so excited?” Sage Kang asked in surprise. At the same time, he picked up his communicator.

When he saw the message on the communicator, Sage Kang’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“Lin Feng has the combat power of a Sage? And he has controlled a robot comparable to a demon emperor, making it equivalent to the combat power of two Sages?”

Sage Kang looked at the message on his communicator. Even a reputable Sage like him could not help but feel excited. The tenth Sage he had been looking forward to day and night had been born, just like that?

“Sage Kang, haha, we really searched high and low only to find what we’re looking for without any effort. What kind of ancient civilization legacy did the little fellow from back then obtain, that he could actually attain the combat power of a Sage with only a second life transition? It’s unbelievable.”

Sage Yuanyi clicked his tongue in praise. As a Sage, he was very happy that there was an additional Sage in human society. This way, the pressure on the Nine Sages would be greatly alleviated.

“Second life transition… Classify Lin Feng’s information immediately as top secret. Only the Nine Sages are authorized to view it. Also, immediately hold a Conference of Sages in the name of you and I to discuss the matter of Lin Feng being the tenth Sage!”

“Sage Kang, aren’t you rushing things a little? We still need to confirm this matter personally…”

“The military’s news wouldn’t be wrong. Moreover, if it’s possible to attain the combat power of a Sage after a second life transition, we must be on guard. It’s hard to guarantee that there won’t be people who are tempted among the Nine Sages. There’s even the Night Devil Organization, which has always been hidden in the dark like a malignant tumor. How can they not be tempted? The combat power of a Sage sounds terrifying, but once those people go berserk, there’s nothing they won’t resort to. We have to establish Lin Feng’s status as a Sage immediately. When the time comes, even if someone wants to make a move, they’ll have to consider if it’s worth facing the wrath of the other Nine Sages!”

Although Sage Kang was also very excited, he was also very calm. He was the oldest of the Nine Sages and the first Sage. He had climbed to the peak step by step in a chaotic era.

Hence, he naturally knew how terrible human nature was. Sometimes, some people would do anything just for a little benefit for themselves!

He had to confirm the status of the tenth Sage for Lin Feng immediately. This would be the overall momentum!

With the overall momentum, Lin Feng would be a Sage, the patron saint of humanity. Who would dare to make a move against him?

Sage Yuanyi nodded, and immediately prepared to hold the Conference of Sages.

…

Lin Feng did not know that after he unleashed the full strength of the Tidal Combat Body, fought with the robot, and was confirmed to have the combat power of a Sage, he had already attracted the attention of various factions.

A storm was even vaguely brewing with Lin Feng as the epicenter.

Lin Feng was leading the Destroyer into the ruins now, but he realized that the Destroyer was simply too massive. It could not enter the ruins at all.

“Can’t you shrink your size?”

“Master, I cannot shrink my entire body.”

“If it cannot shrink its size, it won’t be able to enter the ruins. That would be troublesome.”

Lin Feng was in a difficult position. He wanted to enter the ruins, so he naturally wanted to check everything inside. It would be best if he could find energy, so that he could cultivate the Tidal Combat Body back to more than 200 meters.

“Master, you can bring part of my program into the ruins. I can also answer all your questions, Master.”

Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat. Wasn’t this what Longbetham was like? It seemed like the artificial intelligence born in the Destroyer was indeed about to evolve into a mechanical lifeform. The Destroyer even had methods similar to Longbetham’s.

Lin Feng held the communicator and said, “Does this work?”

“Yes.”

Hence, a segment of the Destroyer’s program entered the communicator. Lin Feng tested it casually. It was actually very different from Longbetham.

Longbetham could think for itself and speak in Lin Feng’s mind. The Destroyer’s program, on the other hand, could not. It was methodical and appeared a little rigid.

With the Destroyer’s program, Lin Feng entered the underground ruins.

The surface of the ruins had already been completely reduced to rubbles. On the other hand, although some of the underground sections were also damaged, most of them were still intact.

Lin Feng entered the underground ruins very easily this time. With the Destroyer “leading the way”, Lin Feng knew the underground parts of the ruins almost like the back of his hand.

“Master, this is the armory! More than 200,000 armed robots are stored inside. There are also materials and energy that can quickly produce at least 300,000 armed robots.”

“In other words, if I create these robots at full force, I can possess 500,000 robots that obey my commands completely?”

Lin Feng was very shocked. There were 500,000 robots. These robots were not ordinary dire beasts. According to the strength displayed by these robots, although a robot could not compare to a Metamorphic Realm martial artist, in terms of attack power, these robots were not inferior at all.

Even if five robots were comparable to a Metamorphic Realm martial artist, once Lin Feng grasped this power, that would be equivalent to 100,000 Metamorphic Realm martial artists. What kind of concept was that?

At least, among the five major factions, no single faction could compare to this force belonging to Lin Feng.

“The third civilization truly is terrifying…”

Lin Feng had another direct understanding of the third civilization.

According to Longbetham, there were a total of nine civilizations, and almost every time, each was weaker than its predecessor. That was because there was a gap for each civilization. If they failed to develop well, they would be far inferior to the previous civilization.

Human civilization in the present was the weakest civilization for the time being. In the past, Lin Feng still did not quite believe it, but after encountering the ruins of the seventh and third civilizations in succession, he gradually began to believe it.

Although the human world was presided over by the Nine Sages, and human society was thriving, it was still far inferior to the previous eight ancient civilizations.

If human society could obtain the essence of civilization from the first eight civilizations, and absorb and convert the essence of these civilizations, perhaps then, it could surpass those ancient civilizations.

And it was indeed what the Nine Sages were doing now.

“I can control all these robots?”

“Master, they will obey my commands, and I will obey any command from you.”

Lin Feng understood now. Through this Destroyer robot, he could control all the robots in the ruins. He must hold the reins to such a powerful force.

This was also why Lin Feng sent the Hoarfrost King and the others away and did not suggest letting the military interfere at all. It was because he wanted to control all the power in the ruins.

Once he controlled this power, even by himself, with the Destroyer and so many armed robots, Lin Feng would be comparable to any large faction, and could be even stronger than any of the five major factions.

Perhaps in terms of high-end combat power, Lin Feng was weaker than the academic faction. After all, the academic faction had three Sages presiding over it. However, in terms of overall combat power, Lin Feng’s robot army would have nothing to fear from any faction.
