"Will Secret Pattern Map?"

Inside a Blue Sea District villa.

Fang Xing was carefully studying a scroll of diagrams given to him by Nie Ying.

There were no explanations on it, just three paintings.

The first scroll looked like a starry sky formed by countless three-dimensional points, creating a scattered and disordered sensation.

The second scroll was even more abstract, consisting of numerous distorted lines that vaguely formed some sort of pattern.

The third scroll was even more bizarre; Fang Xing clearly remembered looking at it, but then he forgot what it looked like.

"Will Secret Patterns, a special technique that only Martial Artists with Martial Arts Will can practice... The key lies in the Martial Arts Will! To condense Will into Secret Patterns... But Will is ethereal, how can it be condensed into patterns?"

Fang Xing was touching the center of his forehead.

After condensing the Great Sun Relics, if we were to speak of the strength of Martial Arts Will, he certainly ranked at the top among those at the Vajra Realm.

Therefore, most Vajra Realm could learn the basics of Will Secret Patterns, and with a little effort, he was sure he could too!

Once he got the basics, he would be able to grind up in his attribute panel!

After observing the classified Will Secret Pattern Map, Fang Xing entered the Virtual Network to search for related information on Will Secret Patterns.

He found very little information, likely due to some form of regulatory control.

There were only a few recruitment ads for "Secret Pattern Engraving Masters," offering unusually generous compensation.

"The Mecha of Martial Artists is ultimately different from real Mecha; to control Ruyi, it definitely requires modification... Engraving the same Will Secret Patterns on the Mecha, and then communicating through the Martial Artists’ Will Secret Patterns to control them... The higher one’s skills in Will Secret Patterns, the more harmonious one’s interaction with the Mecha, and the higher the combat limits that can be reached!"

Combining the information previously given by Nie Ying, Fang Xing had an approximate understanding of Will Secret Patterns and Martial Artist Mecha.

"But still, that sentence... they’re too expensive to make."

He complained and started contacting Xu Sanyang.

Judging by the days, this guy should be about to retire from the military and then start running for a parliamentary seat.

Making a Mecha isn’t just about having Star Coins; it also requires connections.

Even though Fang Xing didn’t plan on making a big move, it felt right to inquire a bit.

Soon, the holographic image was connected.

Inside a parlor.

Bright windows surrounded them, and metallic walls filled the room with a sci-fi vibe.

Yet, in the center of the room was a purple sandalwood table, with Xu Sanyang holding a purple clay teapot, washing tea.

"Come in, have a seat!"

He looked at Fang Xing and nodded, "Heard you broke through to the Vajra Realm?"

"Yeah, planning to continue with my doctoral studies."

Fang Xing nodded.

Ph.D. studies could also exempt one from military service, and he didn’t want to dawdle for fifteen years in graduate school.

For Fang Xing, that was purely a waste of time.

Plus, with Xu Sanyang’s influence, a little maneuvering after getting a Ph.D. might just give him the same treatment as Song Jingang.

’But that’s not right—maybe before I finish my Ph.D., I’ll have already become a Martial Saint!’

’Martial Saints are truly high-ranking members of the Federation, with many privileges...unless there’s a catastrophe like the descent of the Evil God’s Child or their real bodies, they usually don’t need to take action...’

’Of course, Xu Sanyang, who joined the military voluntarily, doesn’t count...’

Fang Xing casually sat down and picked up a cup of tea, "Eh? Why is it soda?"

"Oh, I just brewed it for fun; the real thing I bought is still orange-flavored soda..."

Xu Sanyang picked up his purple clay teapot and drank directly from it.

This type of sensory pleasure bought in Virtual Space was millions of times cheaper than in real life and was beloved by many poor people.

Within the Virtual Network, they could enjoy all the luxury goods of the top elites of the Federation!

"So, you’re going to start a Ph.D.; seems like you’re not planning to help me in my parliamentary campaign."

Xu Sanyang sat with one leg crossed, looking a bit disappointed.

"With the Xu Family’s support, the position of a member of parliament is already secure. I don’t need to tag along to build experience... Because after the Ph.D., I will definitely be a Martial Saint!"

Fang Xing confidently said.

"I knew it, you always like to hide your trump cards..."

Xu Sanyang was unfazed, "Why have you sought me out? To manage a doctoral research project?"

"There is that reason, yes, but mainly, I wanted to consult you about Mecha issues..." Fang Xing said gravely.

"Mecha... That will cost a fortune, and it’s not just about money, there are many regulated resources too..." Xu Sanyang shook his head, "During those years I was in Qingshan Mental Hospital, my team would have disbanded if not for the financial support from my younger sister... She’s really impressive, it’s just that she tends to be a bit indifferent at times. Oh right, she even got her face slapped by a bastard during the previous interstellar martial arts competition..."

Fang Xing maintained his composure, listening attentively.

"Martial Artist Mechas differ from those of Mecha Masters in the key aspect of Will Secret Patterns... You’re from Blue Star University, so you should have seen the ’Will Secret Pattern Map,’ right? If you can’t cultivate the Will Secret Patterns to the second volume, the ’Exotic Beast Map’... Even if you break through to Martial Saint and possess top-notch Mecha, you’ll struggle to unleash the combat power of the Ninth Realm!"

Xu Sanyang revealed a piece of information.

"Will Secret Patterns, the second volume is Exotic Beasts? I couldn’t tell..." Fang Xing answered honestly.

"Of course it’s early for you, even the first ’Starry Sky Map’ requires careful study... The second one looks like distorted lines, but when your Will Secret Patterns congeal and you can discern an Exotic Beast among those lines, then you’ve successfully cultivated the second ’Exotic Beast Map.’ As for the third one... I haven’t even started it myself." Xu Sanyang scratched his head, "I fear... I might need to reach Martial God before I can comprehend it a bit."

’So Xu Sanyang is at the Eighth Realm—Martial Saint, but once he puts on his Mecha, he has the combat power of the Ninth Realm, capable of contending with an unarmored Martial God?!’

Fang Xing formed a rough understanding in his heart, "Got it, I will definitely devote myself to studying the ’Will Secret Patterns’..."

"It’s not much use just to study; you need to ’perceive’ it..." Xu Sanyang shook his head, "And back to the Mecha, forming a team for Mecha construction and maintenance, you can’t even entice the talented ones with just Star Coins... Each one demands a high salary and benefits... There’s also building the factory and most importantly, the raw materials for the Mecha. If your goal is Martial Saint Mecha, you need at least ’Lock Metal,’ and for the Mecha core power, ’Eternal Crystals’... All in all, even for the most basic version, you’ll need a budget of at least ten trillion Star Coins, and many special materials are unobtainable... And if you pursue performance, the sky’s the limit in cost..."

"Sorry to have disturbed you..."

At this point, Fang Xing had completely lost hope, if he ever had any.

With such production costs and sourcing requirements, unless he sold himself...

No, even selling himself might not attract any factions’ interest.

Unless, that is, he was already a Martial Saint!

"Relax, even some of the Federation’s Martial Saints don’t have Mechas... If you want to build your own exclusive Mecha, there’s no need to rush. You can start with a concept project... Gradually research it, and when you reach Martial Saint, I’ll introduce you to my family... You might as well marry in, and perhaps the family will then fund you."

Xu Sanyang smiled, "How about becoming my brother-in-law? My sister is really great..."

"Thank you, I will consider it."

Fang Xing remained expressionless.

After all, Xu Sanyang was a mental patient; who knew if he was joking?

"Isn’t there... a less expensive alternative?"

He pondered, still a bit unwilling to give up.

His Cultivation Avatar should have no major issues breaking through to Nascent Soul.

But through Divinity Transformation and even beyond, there were many difficulties.

In fact, the Da Jing Immortal Cultivation World might not even satisfy his resource needs, necessitating a venture into the more dangerous Hanhai Immortal Cultivation World.

If he could break through to Martial Saint and acquire a specialized Mecha, that would equate to Martial God combat power!

In the Cultivation World, that would solidly place him among the ranks of old Divinity Transformation experts!

To collect Elixirs that enhance Mana for a Nascent Soul, or even secret techniques for breaking through Divinity Transformation and Cultivation Techniques beyond, would be much simpler.

This would also ensure greater security.

Unfortunately, this plan faced significant hurdles right from the start.

’Don’t let it end with the Cultivation Avatar reaching Divinity Transformation while I’m still struggling to assemble the basic frame of my Mecha...’

’No, what if I break through to Martial God and the Martial Saint Mecha isn’t even ready? That would be embarrassing... But I’ve heard that Martial Saint Mechas have many design allowances, just waiting for a future promotion to Martial God, to be equally upgraded to a Martial God Mecha...’

"There’s a cheaper method, actually!"

Xu Sanyang suddenly laughed, "What we’ve been discussing so far is the conventional path... but there’s also an unconventional one. Of course, niche means unknown, which means risks..."

"Oh? Such as?"

Fang Xing raised an eyebrow.

"Like biological Mecha..."

Xu Sanyang revealed a sly smile, "Its proper name should be ’Evil God Mecha.’ As the name implies, it’s built using the body of an Evil God as the main material... The main materials could be from an Evil God’s Child, or even parts of an Outer Realm Evil God’s limbs... They have extremely high regenerative capabilities, which can replace most of the core power systems and armor materials, of course, with copious amounts of Suppressants... And they are highly contaminating, not every Martial Saint could withstand it... The Nine Swords Academy does this the best. Sword Saint Jian Qiu’s Mecha ’Skyhawk’ was built from the body of an Outer Realm Evil God, making it cheap to produce, easy to maintain, but apart from her, no other Martial God could manage it... If a regular Martial Saint tried, they might just get assimilated by the Mecha while piloting and turn into a new Evil God..."

As he spoke, Xu Sanyang felt a tinge of regret, "Actually, Nine Swords Academy once had a project to make a Martial God Level Mecha from parts of the Moon God’s body... Sadly, right when research had barely started, the Moon God incident happened... The project had to be scrapped and started over, but the upside is that they now have a complete Moon God corpse to study..."

"Generally speaking, for Martial Saint Level Evil God Mecha, using body materials from an Evil God’s Child should suffice..."

Hearing this, Fang Xing’s eyes flickered with interest.

The Nine Swords Academy’s ’Sword Saint’ Profession naturally feared Evil God contamination the least, so using an Evil God Mecha made sense.

In his own case, he seemed to be at no disadvantage either...
