Enlightenment: Attaining the Dao at Age 8

Chapter 275: Chapter 157: Identity Exposed? Regional Arena Tournament

As for the Energy Particle Beam Cannon.

This piece of technology was, relatively speaking, much more mature.

The Energy Particle Beam Cannon designed by Li Chang’an had nearly double the destructive power of the best ones on the market, yet its price was almost one-third cheaper than other mainstream models.

After a few wealthy and influential City Lords from Linjiang personally verified its capabilities, the Energy Particle Beam Cannon quickly became a hot-selling product in Cangxuan City.

In just a few days, they had gathered orders for a hundred units.

If he could pull off this deal.

By a conservative estimate, Li Chang’an would not only recoup his investment but also earn at least ten million.

Ten million Rebirth Points!

A number that many Reincarnators wouldn’t even dare to dream of in their entire lives.

And for Li Chang’an, this was only the beginning.

After all, he had obtained quite a bit of black-box technology from the Night City World. The Super Electromagnetic Cannon and Energy Particle Beam Cannon he was currently offering were merely appetizers.

At this thought, Li Chang’an couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement and exhilaration.

’As long as I can carve out a niche in the market, I’m confident it won’t be long before I can transform Cangxuan City, and even all of Linjiang City, into a major metropolis.’

After concluding his business, Li Chang’an personally went to inspect the newly built factory.

After confirming there were no issues with the factory, he picked up his communicator and put on a show, calling each of his suppliers to chew them out. He feigned a posture of impotent rage, as if he were at his wit’s end, all to mislead the Gu Family behind his suppliers.

He was perfectly capable of a little misdirection himself.

After all that commotion, Li Chang’an activated his Rebirth Mark, preparing to begin a new round of rebirth.

Business was business, and rebirth was rebirth.

For any normal Reincarnator, the foundation of their power would always be the Rebirth Mark and the Rebirth Worlds. Li Chang’an had rested long enough; it was time to embark on a new rebirth journey.

But just as he was about to enter the Rebirth Space,

Li Chang’an noticed the Fire Lion City Lord, Deng Ankang, and the Blood Shadow City Lord, Qian Zhong, chatting in the group chat. Curious, he tapped into the chat to take a look.

Deng Ankang, Fire Lion City Lord: “Guys, have you heard of the ’Martial Arts Emperor’?”

Hearing the keyword ’Martial Arts Emperor’,

people in the group chat started popping up one after another, asking what was going on.

Recently, the ’Martial Arts Emperor’ training program had caused quite a stir among the Reincarnator community. Needless to say, within the Martial Artist community, the name was practically legendary; almost every Martial Artist had heard of it.

Even Transcendents on other evolutionary paths had heard of it.

It had truly broken out of its niche.

A few days ago, someone in the group had even brought up the ’Martial Arts Emperor’, calling him unbelievably powerful.

Seeing more and more people show up in the chat,

Qian Zhong, the Blood Shadow City Lord, took the initiative and said, “I’ve got firsthand news. A mysterious person nicknamed ’Divine Emperor’ beat the Martial Arts Emperor in a life-or-death duel. What’s more, it was a match between equals at Tier Five, and he was completely crushed from start to finish!”

Ji Fulin of Donglan City: “@Qian Zhong, Qian, is this news reliable? I’ve watched the Martial Arts Emperor’s challenges before. At the same Realm, he’s basically invincible. He’s a hexagonal monster; many Reincarnators couldn’t beat him even if they were a whole Realm higher. How could he possibly be crushed by someone at the same Realm?”

Zhao Suran, Bajia City Lord: “@Deng Ankang, Elder Deng, is this true? I’m a Martial Artist too, so why haven’t I heard about it?”

Deng Ankang, Fire Lion City Lord: “It’s true. Qian and I saw it together at the Rebirth Arena. Not many people outside know about it yet. We’re on the front lines of the gossip. Just wait a few more hours, and you’ll probably see the news on the forums!”

You couldn’t blame the group for repeatedly asking if it was true.

It was because many in the group were familiar with the ’Martial Arts Emperor’ and had been deeply impressed by his terrifying strength. Now, hearing that someone could dominate the Martial Arts Emperor at the same Realm… just what kind of monster was this opponent?

After explaining a few times, Deng Ankang and Qian Zhong cut the chatter and directly uploaded the recording from the Rebirth Arena to the group chat.

The moment the recording was uploaded, the group chat fell silent.

Evidently, everyone had gone to watch the video. It was hard for them to imagine what the ’Martial Arts Emperor’ being unilaterally thrashed would even look like.

Li Chang’an’s attention was also captured.

He opened the video and was stunned to find it was the footage of himself beating the ’impostor’ in the arena.

’How the hell has it only been this long?’

’How did a video file already get leaked?’

’And it wasn’t just leaked; it was posted on the local Linjiang Reincarnator forums?’

He carefully examined his own figure in the video. Fortunately, his face was pixelated, but someone very familiar with him might still be able to recognize him.

Of course, Li Chang’an wasn’t overly concerned about being recognized.

It was just that, as a Newcomer who had only recently become a Reincarnator, displaying such terrifying strength would likely attract too much attention.

Unless it was necessary, Li Chang’an had no desire to live his life under a constant spotlight.

And he certainly didn’t want to have to explain himself to outsiders.

Just as he feared, after the video made the rounds, someone spoke up: “Why does that ’Divine Emperor’s’ back look so familiar?”
