However, many people were inevitably disappointed.
“Trust in our senior brother.”
“There’s still a whole day left, maybe he can create a miracle.” There were also quite a few students firmly supporting Li Yuan, believing he could create a miracle, mainly freshmen from Jiang City.
Before long.
The freshmen from the first and second bases began their journey back to school.
But many freshmen were paying attention to Li Yuan’s final combat score.
The group total score pertained to every individual’s personal interests.
…
July 31st, 1 PM.
Inside the Combat Assessment Area of the fourth base, there were still 23 hours left until the assessment ended.
In the dim cave, a faint light shone through the cracks.
“Hmm? The infusion of Origin Power has ended?” Li Yuan suddenly came to full alertness.
“Whew!”
Li Yuan subconsciously looked down at his fists and gently clenched them, feeling an endless surge of power within his body.
Ready to burst forth at any moment.
This power was much stronger than before.
Looking up again, his vision and hearing had significantly improved.
“My Life Level…” Li Yuan glanced over the Divine Palace panel.
—-
[Life Level: 12.7 (First Rank)]
Fist Strength: 4460 kilograms
Speed: 34.2 meters per second
Spiritual Power: 20.0
Spiritual Awakening Level: 20% (current limit 25%)
Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fourth Level 53%), Movement Technique (Fourth Level 42%), Fist Technique (Fourth Level 55%)
[Note: The upper limit of Spiritual Awakening has increased to 25%. When the Life Level reaches 14 and the Spiritual Awakening Level reaches 25%, Spiritual Guidance will be received.]

“Hmm?” Li Yuan was shocked, filled with excitement and joy.
It was truly unbelievable.
In just one night and half a day, his Physical Quality and spiritual power had increased so much?
It was four to five times more than the first time he infused Origin Power into his body.
It seemed like the Life Level had only increased by 1.4 levels.
But the specifics of the Physical Quality change had to be considered; his Fist Strength skyrocketed from 2250 kilograms to 4460 kilograms, nearly doubling.
His Burst Speed had also significantly increased.
Such an increase was absolutely terrifying, and many students from Kunlun Martial University wouldn’t achieve such a thing in more than half a year of cultivation.
“The improvement in Physical Quality is one aspect, but the key is spiritual power.” Li Yuan’s gaze fell on one particular item.
Spiritual Power, level 20.
This was truly the standard of a Prime Warrior.
Unbeknownst to many, Li Yuan had already completed two of the three major checkpoints that countless Martial Artists found insurmountable.
Only the final one concerning Physical Quality remained.
“Breaking through the level 20 barrier in spiritual power also brought my Spiritual Awakening limit directly up to 25%,” Li Yuan’s heart quivered: “Spiritual Guidance?”
It had been over two years.
Since the awakening of Mind Spirit Divine Palace in his senior year of high school until he entered college, for more than two years he had been researching higher Spiritual Nature and Spiritual Guidance on the Divine Palace panel.
All without result.
Now, at last, Li Yuan saw hope.
“Do I need to reach a Physical Quality of 14 to unlock Spiritual Guidance?” Li Yuan thought silently.
His Life Level was already at 12.7, and although there was a gap to level 14, it wasn’t far off.
“No matter,”
“Let’s slowly improve the Physical Quality and first increase the Spiritual Awakening Level to 25%, and meet one of the requirements.” Li Yuan immediately made up his mind.
Isn’t it just slaughtering some Star Realm Creatures?
With 23 hours left, killing four or five would be enough.
“Whew!”
Li Yuan stood up and stretched out all his muscles and bones.
Then he threw a punch suddenly, with the shadow of his fist moving significantly faster than before.
“With my current Physical Quality, combined with Spear Technique skills, I will be stronger than… Sister Qiu Jing,” Li Yuan assessed.
Li Yuan had sparred with Sister Qiu Jing on the Starry Skies Fighting Network.
Based on his judgment, her Axe Technique skill level was probably around Fourth Level 20%.
Where is Li Yuan?
His Spear Technique level is at 53% of the Fourth Level, already very close to high rank, a huge improvement.
“The only concern,”
“is the monitoring during the Combat Assessment.”
“Although the majority of people are unclear about my strength, both President Li and Teacher Jiang are well aware,” numerous thoughts flashed through Li Yuan’s mind, “To double my physical quality overnight?”
It’s too illogical.
Too abrupt, most likely to make people think of ‘Heavenly Materials Treasures’ instantly.
“No need to unleash all my strength, let’s first get the Spiritual Awakening Level to 25%,” Li Yuan reached out and gripped the Long Spear embedded in the stone wall.
He wrenched it out!
A top-grade First Rank Long Spear, incredibly tough, smooth as new.
Then he took out some food and water from his backpack and consumed it all.
“Boom!”
Li Yuan, holding the Long Spear, dashed and broke through the trees covering the entrance to the outside.
The sun was brilliant.
“Let’s go.”
…
“Li Yuan has come out,” Dean Xu was the first to notice and said with a smile, “Looks spirited, seems like he had a good rest.”
“We’ll see,” President Li frowned.
He had already decided, to give Li Yuan a good scolding after the Combat Assessment was over.
He’s taking it too lightly.
“Old Li, don’t take it too hard, a bit of setback doesn’t matter for a youngster like Li Yuan,” a chubby old man said cheerfully beside him.
This old man, was one of the three Vice Presidents of the Eighth Institute, ‘Qin Huo’.
“Qin, piss off,” Li Yang glanced at the other, “I’m very annoyed right now, don’t provoke me, or why not go back and practice?”
“Old Xu, aren’t you going to manage him?” the chubby old man glared.
“Enough, you two stop bickering,” Dean Xu felt a headache coming, his gaze fixed on the light screen.
Watching Li Yuan.
…
An hour later, around four kilometers away from Li Yuan’s resting cave.
Two huge Exotic Beast corpses lay in a pool of blood.
“12.9 level Star Realm Creatures, and it only increased my Spiritual Awakening Level by 0.1%?” Li Yuan looked at the reminder on the Divine Palace panel feeling helpless.
Previously, killing one could still increase it by 1.2%.
Now, after killing two, it’s only increased to 20.2%, too slow.
“Could it be that a Spiritual Awakening Level of 20% is a bottleneck?” Li Yuan had an epiphany.
Just like with Martial Artists, the difference in Life Level before and after Entry Rank is astonishing.
“With only 22 hours left until the Combat Assessment ends, finding forty or fifty Exotic Beasts seems bleak,” a hint of urgency flickered through Li Yuan’s mind.
He originally thought that killing four or five would be enough.
Now, he needs to kill forty or fifty.
Slaughter is not difficult, the challenge is finding the targets.
“There’s only one most reliable method,” Li Yuan suddenly turned his head, staring at the distant forest.
It was the direction where he encountered Sister Qiu Jing yesterday.
“The Rock Desert Tribe.”
“Sister Qiu Jing mentioned that there are over 200 warriors in this tribe, killing just a part of them would be enough to push my Spiritual Awakening Level to 25%”
“But then, I’m afraid I’ll have to unleash all my strength,” a trace of coldness flitted across Li Yuan’s eyes.
“So let it burst.”
“Even if it really draws the inquiry of the Flying Heaven Warriors, as long as they don’t discover the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, it will ultimately be attributed to my extremely high talent.”
“As long as I’m strong enough, there will be Great Confucians to reason for me,” Li Yuan figured everything out in an instant.
Unleashing all his strength carried certain risks, but the potential gains were also substantial.
With Origin Power entering his body twice, the strength enhancement was already so significant.
How miraculous would the so-called ‘Spiritual Guidance’ be? Missing this Combat Assessment would mean waiting until next February.
“Let’s go!” Li Yuan’s figure moved, he rushed towards the direction of the Rock Desert Tribe.
…
An hour later.
Deep underground, on a high-speed moving train.
Both sides of the train were filled with freshmen from the Sixth Institute, the atmosphere was very tense.
Suddenly,
“Look everyone, the big senior brother, his score has surpassed 200. In just over ten seconds, it’s increased by more than a hundred points,” an astonished voice rang out.
“Our Sixth Institute is first in the total score among the freshmen groups!!”
