Chapter 2, Intelligent Brain

Five Elements Fist: Inferior Human Realm, Foundation Building Fist Technique, Exchange Price: 100 Divine Martial Points

The three evils cannot be accomplished, and neither can deception and trickery be tolerated. Does that mean one must sell oneself and change careers to become a dancer

... ...

Fortunately, his doubts were answered in the next moment, as an intense and excruciating pain suddenly erupted in his mind, followed by a torrent of memories surging in, flooding into his consciousness without reservation

In response to Zhongli's request, the intelligent brain remained silent, merely unfolding a list within Zhongli's line of sight

The martial art that Zhongli initially practiced is one of the three fundamental boxing styles in the military, known as Xingyi Quan

The intelligence brain permissions correspond to the four realms of martial arts and the twelve ranks, which are divided into twelve levels. The current level is one, and advancement requires one thousand divine martial points

The explanation of the intellect brought another wave of surprise to Zhongli's heart. Although this eclectic knowledge is a branch of martial arts, it is inextricably linked to martial arts. If one achieves success in it, it can also contribute to martial arts cultivation, especially in the three disciplines of medicine and alchemy, which have a tremendous auxiliary effect on martial arts practice

Based on this alone, this intelligent brain is worthy of Zhongli's trust. Therefore, Zhongli is now contemplating how to obtain divine weapon points.

"Smart brain?" Zhong Li murmured, and finally realized something, repeatedly asking, "Was it you who brought me back?"

In other words, in addition to the permissions, you will also charge a fee

The words of the intelligent brain were cold, yet they seemed to possess an inexplicable magic, compelling Zhongli to ultimately agree, saying: "Alright, I will listen to you this once and exchange for Xingyi Quan."

The words determined by the intelligent brain suddenly stirred a strong impulse within Zhongli to burst into laughter. Fortunately, he ultimately suppressed this impulse and continued to ask: "What is your function?"

The host may experience it on their own

Now that Zhongli has been reborn ten years ago, he has taken a step ahead. If he can obtain the complete method of cultivation in the martial arts of the human race, then when the gods descend in the future, he may not be without the strength to contend. After all, this Earth conceals numerous ancient relics and treasures of civilization.

Feeling frustrated as one may, the important matters cannot be neglected. Zhongli continued to inquire: "How many levels are there for permissions, and how can they be upgraded?"

The federal troops that Zhongli once served in could barely be considered an elite force, and thus there were also martial arts practices within the military, albeit in limited numbers

Hearing the prompt from the intelligent brain, Zhongli was momentarily taken aback. It was at this moment that he realized he had overlooked a crucial factor.

What is the empowerment...?

In a moment of contemplation, Zhong Li intended to wave his hand and close the exchange list. At that moment, the intelligent brain suddenly spoke up, saying: "The intelligent brain suggests that the host exchange for a basic martial art technique, as the intelligent brain's martial arts can be imparted for cultivation. It contains the essence and true meaning of martial arts. Even if the host has already practiced this martial art, new insights and understandings can still be gained."

As for this martial art, how should I put it, it is not exactly poor, but it is not particularly good either. If there are better options available, Zhongli would certainly not mind choosing something else

A dazzling array of options came into view, but Zhongli frowned, for he realized that all of them were basic martial arts, essentially commonplace and of little value, lacking the supreme divine weapons he had envisioned.

Smart Brain, please show me the martial arts techniques I can exchange for now

Da Hong Quan, Karate, Taekwondo, Judo, Muay Thai

The complete martial arts system of the human race

The intelligent brain straightforwardly stated: "As the core hub of the Divine Martial Research Institute, the intelligent brain contains a complete system of human martial arts, along with the function of imparting cultivation insights, and possesses a space-time core that can consume energy for space-time traversal"

In contrast to Zhongli's excitement, the tone of the intelligent brain remains as calm and cold as a still pond: "The martial arts cultivation of the human race is divided into four realms and twelve grades. The four realms, from top to bottom, are Saint, Heaven, Earth, and Man. Each realm is further divided into three grades: upper, middle, and lower. Currently, the intelligent brain's authority is at level one: it can extract lower-grade martial arts or miscellaneous studies from the human realm."

Zhong Li looked at the reflection in the glass window, a face that could not be considered ugly, but certainly did not qualify as that of a youthful heartthrob, and helplessly cut off this thought.

Upon hearing this, Zhongli's expression suddenly changed. The martial arts system of the human race is the foundation for the rise of humanity in the future era. According to legend, the cultivation of human martial arts has already been deduced to the Sacred Realm, sufficient to contend with a deity in the starry sky.

Hearing this, Zhongli could not help but furrow his brows and asked, "I understand martial arts, but what is miscellaneous studies?"

Upon hearing this, Zhongli fell silent, lost in thought. At this moment, he had come to believe the words of the intelligent brain, not only because of its miraculous nature but also due to its intentions. Whether it was to unify the world through martial prowess or to eliminate foreign tribes, it was all for the sake of humanity

The exchange of martial arts has been successful, and the initiation of the enlightenment training begins

There are many kinds of illicit activities, and undoubtedly the fastest to engage in are gambling, drugs, and prostitution. However, Zhongli does not wish to involve himself in any of these, not out of moral considerations, but because he cannot afford the consequences of breaking the law, nor does he wish to bear them.

Seemingly recalling something, a hint of joy flashed across Zhongli's face as he decided, "Let's do it this way, first practice the door boxing technique."

The intelligent brain does not possess a true concept of self or consciousness of life; the host may refer to the intelligent brain as Divine Martial or simply as the intelligent brain.

Eliminate the alien races: Eliminate the alien races or celestial beings that are enemies of the human race to receive corresponding divine weapon points as a reward

So it is like this! Upon hearing this, Zhongli finally let out a sigh of relief, gazing at everything before him, and murmured, "So, I have truly returned?"

The character cultivated by the military makes Zhongli act in a very straightforward manner, getting straight to the point in a single sentence

What is the Shenwu score

Methods to Obtain Shenwu Points: Dominate the World, Eliminate Foreign Races

The extermination of alien races is not a consideration for the time being. Although the gods of the starry sky have already turned their attention to Earth and have even begun to secretly spread their influence, sending their subservient cosmic races to infiltrate, these entities are simply beyond the capability of ordinary people to confront. Moreover, most of them are located in Earth's death zones, such as the Bermuda Triangle. Even if Zhongli wishes to kill them, he is powerless to do so.

Currently, there is only one matter that Zhongli urgently needs to address, which is money. Zhongli is very poor, extremely poor, and cultivating martial arts requires a substantial amount of money. Therefore, Zhongli's primary goal at present is to earn money, to earn a great deal of money.

The miscellaneous studies are a branch of martial arts, which include: techniques, methods, medicine, pharmacology, alchemy, formations, and casting, and are similarly divided into four realms and twelve grades

The sudden sound of the voice caused Zhongli to instinctively turn around, and immediately, a lively figure came into his view

At this moment, although Zhongli was surprised, he did not panic. He even glanced around to confirm that there was truly no one beside him before lowering his voice to ask: "Who are you?"

Universal Martial Arts: Promote martial arts training to all human races, and reward achievements with Divine Martial Points

Just as he was trying to grasp something for support, a voice came from behind, saying: "Zhongli, are you alright?"

So is it only possible to establish martial power across the world? But how should this martial power be established? Should he open a martial arts school to teach boxing? This is not impossible, but the efficiency...

It seems that in order to cultivate these martial arts, one needs the permission of the intelligent brain

Yes

This ... ... !

As Zhongli's words fell, the cold voice responded: "Yes, at the moment the intelligence core was completed, the divine weapon suffered catastrophic destruction. The intelligence core randomly selected a host and activated all stored energy to reverse time and space, sending the host back to the old era of 2018"

Finally understanding, Zhongli couldn't help but shake his head and continued to ask: "Alright, first tell me how to obtain these Divine Martial Points"

"Wait, I remember there are quite a few underground boxing matches in Longhai, how about..."

So it turns out to be these

After much contemplation, Zhongli could not come up with any particularly good solutions, so he could only set the matter aside for the time being and focus on resolving the immediate issues at hand

Hearing this, Zhongli felt somewhat doubtful and asked, "Can the true essence of martial arts really be directly imparted?"

At this moment, the clock finally understood the meaning of the initiation, but it was too late for regret. The excruciating pain in his mind caused him to stagger, and he could no longer steady his body

Disappointed by such results, Zhongli sighed and murmured, "I was thinking too much; what good things could level one permissions offer"

There are many ways to make money, but currently Zhong Li has neither capital, nor technology, nor connections. Even with past experiences, it is difficult to seize business opportunities. Therefore, it is impossible to engage in legitimate industries, and one can only take a less conventional approach to make some initial gains.

Thinking of this, Zhong Li felt somewhat depressed. After serving in the military for many years, he did not know how many times he had been stumped by the two words "authority" and "permission"; now he encountered them once again.

A strange voice suddenly appeared in his mind. A common person would surely be alarmed, but Zhongli was not an ordinary person. After years of service and countless battles, having faced death multiple times, he had long possessed extraordinary composure. In fact, those without such composure would have perished on the battlefield long ago
