Permanent Martial Arts

Panda Novel

In the virtual network room, as soon as Longbetham connected to the network, it suddenly sensed that something was amiss.

"What's going on?" Lin Feng hurriedly asked.

"Master, there is something wrong with this network. It seems… It seems to only cover the network within the range of the Blue River Imperial Planet. It cannot even connect to the networks of the other territorial planets in the Blue River Empire."

Lin Feng's heart sank. This was indeed very abnormal. The Blue River Empire was a powerful empire with many territorial planets. It was impossible for the networks of various planets to not be connected.

Without linking the virtual networks, it would also pose a hidden danger to the dominion planet of the Blue River Empire. This was very illogical.

"Continue investigating."

"Master, there are many censors on the network. Some things have been permanently deleted. However, the technology of the Blue River Empire cannot stop my investigation yet. I found some confidential documents, all of which contain information about the Blue River Empire."

Immediately after, the secret documents were presented to Lin Feng.

From these secret documents, Lin Feng realized that everything had started 128 years ago. After the new emperor of the Blue River Empire ascended the throne, the policy of the Blue River Empire underwent a fundamental change, and started to become war-mongering.

More than a hundred years ago, the Blue River Empire had expanded rapidly and ruled internally under high pressure, as if it was recklessly over-drafting the war potential of the Blue River Empire.

The statistics were even more shocking.

Originally, the population of the Blue River Empire was in the tens of billions. However, since the war began ten years ago, the population of the Blue River Empire had increased by a small margin for the first time. After another few decades, the population of the Blue River Empire had even become stagnant, or was slowly decreasing.

Even though there was no authoritative data, and the Blue River Empire did not allow population counts, some insightful people felt that something was amiss about this situation.

Moreover, the Blue River Empire had always propagandized that its army was invincible. However, the truth was that even though countless armies were deployed on the battlefield, very few people could return. There was conscription almost every year.

As for the territorial planets of the Blue River Empire government, many people could only see them through the news of the Blue River Empire. As for whether those planets had been conquered, no one knew.

"Phew…"

Lin Feng heaved a long sigh. Something was wrong. Something was definitely wrong with this Blue River Empire.

Especially the emperor of the Blue River Empire, Zhou Yan! There was very likely a huge problem with him.

According to the news obtained from the Divine Palace, there was very likely a fiend lurking among the upper echelons of the Blue River Empire! However, there was no concrete news from the Divine Palace about who it was.

But without a doubt, that there was a huge problem with Emperor Zhou Yan.

Walking out of the virtual network room, Lin Feng was still sorting out the previously obtained information in his mind. Should he go straight to the palace and confront Zhou Yan?

After some thought, Lin Feng still did not make the decision.

He had some reservations. What if the fiend was not Zhou Yan? If he went rashly, he might alert the enemy. Fiends excelled most at hiding. If he kept hiding, it would probably be very difficult for Lin Feng to find the fiend.

In that case, he decided not to go to the palace for the time being, and to collect more evidence from various sources.

Night fell, and the night of the Blue River Imperial Planet gradually quietened down, leaving only armed robots patrolling everywhere.

Boom.

Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded. At the same time, explosions sounded from all directions. Waves of flames soared into the sky, and laser cannonballs exploded on the streets.

One building after another was blasted into pieces. It was clearly a scene of war.

"War?"

Lin Feng found it a little strange. What other wars could there be in the Blue River Empire now?

Hence, in a flash, he flew into the sky and looked down.

…

"It's begun!"

Chen Feng stared intently at his communicator. There would be news from him almost every moment. This was the first time they were resisting the Blue River Empire through armed forces. He did not know if it would succeed.

However, his conscience was clear. He had no choice. Otherwise, if this continued, the Blue River Empire would really be finished.

The anti-war personnel were very well-prepared. In the beginning, they took the initiative and quickly took over the major cities of the Blue River Imperial Planet, especially some transportation hub cities.

However, the Blue River Empire had already entered the interstellar era. Some cities and even some key areas were actually meaningless now. What was the most important thing in the interstellar era? It was martial strength! It was battleships!

As the Blue River Empire reacted, they began to mobilize the battleships. Even though the anti-war personnel had instigated some of the battleships to defect, most of the fleets still obeyed the orders of the Blue River Empire.

As the battleships arrived and entered the battle, the armed insurrection of the anti-war personnel was stopped before it could even approach the palace.

Then, many armed robots began to arrest those anti-war personnel.

From the beginning of the battle to their defeat, not even an hour had passed.

"I failed…"

Chen Feng looked at the ceiling. Sometimes, he also reflected on himself. Had he really made the wrong choice? However, no matter how he thought about it, it did not seem to be wrong. However, he still failed in the end.

This operation was indeed a little risky. Not turning more battleships was the key factor to failure. However, the battleships were all inextricably linked to the upper echelons of the Blue River Empire. It was easier said than done to turn them.

Hence, this operation was destined to fail from the beginning.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

As the robot approached step by step, Chen Feng knew that he had been exposed. However, he did not want to escape, because there was nowhere to run. Now that the battleship port had been sealed, where could he run to?

"Someone has to sacrifice for the sake of peace…"

Chen Feng closed his eyes. He had already given up resisting. He could see the robots running towards him from afar. Perhaps in a minute, perhaps in dozens of seconds, he would be arrested by those robots and executed by the upper echelons of the Blue River Empire.

Even though he was about to die, he was still very calm.

From the moment he became anti-war, he was actually already prepared for this. He did not fear death. What he feared was that his death did not change anything.

Bang.

The door was shattered by the robot's weapon. In the dust, a figure seemed to appear out of thin air. Then, with a slight grasp, it seized him.

Swoosh.

Chen Feng had already disappeared from the room. The robots searched everywhere, but in the end, they could only report to the Blue River Empire that they had failed to capture Chen Feng.

At this moment, Chen Feng was still in a daze. In his daze, he felt as if he had been held in the water for a long time, and was about to suffocate.

Then, he arrived somewhere and started breathing heavily.

After a while, he raised his head. His emotions had already calmed down.

"Who are you?"

There was a trace of vigilance in Chen Feng's calm gaze as he stared intently at the unfamiliar young man in front of him.
