Chapter 376: Chapter 378: Secret Spirit Masters and Martial Artists, the Differences in the Secret Martial World Chapter 376: Chapter 378: Secret Spirit Masters and Martial Artists, the Differences in the Secret Martial World ‘Strongman Style +27, now everyone who sees this corpse has to go through a wave of shock and reflection and then assign me a Level,’
Qin Muye felt somewhat desperate, as the president of the Blood Rose Society had returned and brought quite a few high-ranking members to visit, thereby providing an opportunity for deception and victory.

He understood that whoever was determined by the Strongman Style as the loser would unconsciously regard Qin Muye as the stronger party, and even without such a determination, the opponent might still fall into doubt due to the inherent aura of the Strongman Style.

Under normal circumstances, they would challenge Qin Muye, but now Qin Muye was just a corpse, and coupled with other people’s prior deceits and intimidations, it would generally take less than two minutes to declare a victory for Qin Muye.

Luckily, these people hadn’t lost their senses; although they had fabricated some details in their minds, they spread them only in a limited circle and hadn’t informed all members of the Blood Rose Society.

Moreover, Qin Muye had noticed something odd: why were all these Secret Spirit Masters female? Not a single male was present. That was scientifically dubious.

Just like the neighboring Martial Artists, there seemed… to be no females there either!

‘Hiss~ Could the differences in gender lead to systemic issues? Could there be something wrong with the people of this world?’ Qin Muye pondered, finding it strange.

‘It seems now that there might be some issues with the two Extraordinary Systems.’
Though Secret Spirit Masters and Martial Artists belonged to different systems, they didn’t show a water-and-fire enmity. Instead, their competition was more about influence rather than system.

After all, there wasn’t much conflict of interest between them.

From the vast information gathered by the Spirit Monsters, Martial Artists splurged on various food and drinks, but it was different for Secret Spirit Masters; for them, a good location was crucial.

For their internal Secret Spirits to advance, they needed an environment with sufficient energy, referred to as Secret Spirit Power–the energy Qin Muye had sensed in the environment, which was extremely thin and carried dark, bloodthirsty tendencies.

Secret Spirit Power naturally isn’t always as thin as in the slums where Qin Muye resides. It seemed to be distributed irregularly, as in the headquarters of the Blood Rose Society, where the concentration of Secret Spirit Power was nearly ten thousand times higher than before.

For Secret Spirit Masters, this was basically a heavenly blessed land, but for ordinary people, it was a deadly place full of toxic barriers.

Qin Muye was really curious about what had caused such an extreme differentiation in systems, extreme enough to categorize by gender.

If anything is abnormal, there must be demons at play, so Qin Muye speculated that there must be some unknown secret here.

Even the Martial Artists and Secret Spirit Masters, accustomed to these norms, did not delve deeply into this matter.

‘So… The brains of this group of Secret Spirit Masters from the Blood Rose Society must have been kicked by a donkey, knowing all about this issue and still planning to find out some secrets from my corpse. Are they insane? Even if they found something, wouldn’t it still belong to the Martial Artists, and have nothing to do with your incompatible group of Secret Spirit Masters.’
‘Well, though I’m not a Martial Artist either, my body indeed holds some strange secrets, but it’s still nonsensical. Probably because this Secret Spirit Master organization is too young.’
The Blood Rose Society and other Secret Spirit Master organizations and Martial Artist schools are indeed younger, having only appeared for about thirty years, unlike some ancient organizations and schools that have been around for thousands of years.

So perhaps they are not quite ready to give up; if it were another Secret Spirit Master organization, they would probably contact a Martial Artist school first, then prepare to make a good deal.

Even though Martial Artists’ training is costly, it doesn’t mean they don’t have money.

Just as Secret Spirit Masters do not need to spend excessively or push themselves too hard but still need money to grow their power, without which they can hardly make a move.

It is only because the Blood Rose Society, a young organization, hasn’t yet been toughened up by society that they hold onto such a hot potato rather than exchanging it for money.

‘What do you think?’ asked Ye Zhen, the president of the Blood Rose Society.

The group of Elders looked at each other. What was there to think? Besides strong, they couldn’t perceive anything else.

After all, what could be discerned with just the eyes?

“We Secret Spirit Masters have always been inferior to Martial Artists in terms of power and physique. Now that we have obtained the body of an undyingly powerful Martial Artist, if we can discover the secrets of the Martial Artist’s body, we might be able to compensate for this shortcoming,”
Ye Zhen said as soon as he saw that no one was around.

“President, if we really figure it out, will our bodies become like those of the Martial Artists?” asked Zuo Qiuqing, who was hiding in the corner, timidly raising his hand.

The entire room of Secret Spirit Masters couldn’t help but pause at this question.

Because of their Secret Spirits, Secret Spirit Masters are all exceptionally beautiful, even their figures are very elegant.

It is quite normal to have a love for beauty, so once it actually succeeds, would they really have to become like those Martial Artists, covered in muscles, whose forearms are thicker than their thighs?

Or even like those with faces full of crosswise flesh and bodies where the veins bulge prominently?

“Hiss–President, we must be cautious about this!” An elder advised, followed naturally by many others echoing the sentiment.

Unlike Martial Artists, Secret Spirits also grant Secret Spirit Masters eternal youth, so they are actually very concerned about their appearances; if they were forced to become monstrous muscle people, it would be worse than killing them.

Just like Martial Artists who age but Secret Martial allows their bodies to remain at their peak, so there is no such thing as muscle relaxation or lack of vitality as they age and so on.

So, to a certain extent, physique and muscles can also serve as a symbol of a Martial Artist’s strength.

Ye Zhen was also frightened by this question, but quickly responded, “Don’t worry, this powerful Martial Artist’s body does not have the same large muscular build as those Martial Artists we have seen, so…”

“Cough, President, is it possible because this person was a Secret Martial Arts Master, which is why he was different, can we really compare ourselves to such an invincible being?” another elder asked.

Qin Muye’s body was indeed no different from a normal person, but in their eyes, it was because he was invincible. Over the years, within the entire Secret Martial World, he was the only one; they were well aware of their own limitations and could not compare themselves to him.

Thus, even if the president talked up a storm, when it touched on appearances, everyone was extremely cautious.

“Well… I indeed cannot guarantee it, but what if we succeed?” Ye Zhen promptly said in a stern voice, “We, the Blood Rose Society, may not be a major force, but now it’s different–we have this body, strong enough to challenge more powerful entities. You surely don’t want to be exploited by other powers.”

“There are many ways to become stronger, not just relying on a body. I advise that it’s okay to explore its secrets, but if we commit everything to it, it’s not worth it,”
“After all, it is the body of a deceased ultimate Martial Artist. If he were alive, we could bet everything, but a dead body, no matter how miraculous, cannot be changed,”
An elder naturally spoke up in opposition, which was normal, because if they did find the secret, who would experiment? Certainly not the president, and the experiment would be long-term, not something that could be completed all at once, thus creating a great deal of uncertainty.

Also, because they were not a major power, they could not afford to gamble–they could bear it if they won, but if they lost, they would be ruined.

Clearly the elder’s suggestion was agreed upon by the other elders, so even as the president of the Blood Rose Society, Ye Zhen could not forcefully push her proposal through.

However, fortunately, the opposition was not too harsh, for the powerful bodies of Martial Artists were highly coveted after all.

“Alright, let’s do that then. As for the specific personnel, I think…”

Qin Muye listened to this group of people discussing research plans for his body and thought it completely unserious. Even if not dissecting to study the internal structure, at least examine something like the genetics, but in the end, these people hadn’t drafted any clear research plan.

In the end, he could only suggest: how about observing the body?

‘Turns out it’s another group that relies entirely on the mercy of Heaven for their bread… oh, the Martial Artists are the same.’
The growth of Martial Artists naturally also involved consuming Secret Medicine daily, practicing according to the breathing methods and hammering methods of their sects, and then self-realizing Martial Arts Will before… further training to advance their Secret Martial. In the end, they never really questioned why.

Perhaps it is because of underdeveloped technology, and both Extraordinary Groups haven’t paid much attention to the development of technology.
