Back then, at the freshman battle of the ten schools, Li Yuan wasn’t anxious about his defeat to Dantai Feng; he calmly accepted his loss.
However, accepting defeat did not mean admitting defeat.
Li Yuan too was unwilling to concede defeat in his heart and firmly believed that he would surpass the other in the future.
Now, he had done it.
“But to truly decide who is superior, we still have to wait for the virtual battle of the global university Martial Path competition at the end of February,” Li Yuan thought to himself, his heart filled with anticipation.
As he was pondering,
“Li Yuan, in light of your achievements, the Seven Star Alliance will reward you with ’50 million’ Blue Star Coins,” the woman in white said with a smile: “This is the highest and final reward from the Starry Skies Fighting Network.”
“50 million Blue Star Coins?” Li Yuan was slightly surprised.
Quite a lot.
“Does everyone who reaches the Transcendent Stage get them?” Li Yuan couldn’t help asking.
“If you reach the Transcendent Stage before the age of 20, you are awarded 50 million Blue Star Coins,” the woman in white said: “If you reach it after the age of 20, the reward is 20 million Blue Star Coins.”
“Those who can reach the Transcendent Stage are all hopeful to become top-grade Origin Martial Artists in reality and will be an important combat force for human civilization,” the woman in white explained: “It’s destined that they won’t lack this money.”
“This sum of money is more of an honorific encouragement,” said the woman in white with a smile.
Li Yuan nodded slightly, muttering in his heart.
Lacking? He was really in need of money.
“Right.” Li Yuan suddenly spoke up: “I have a question to ask.”
“Go ahead,” the woman in white said.
“In the entire Seven Star Alliance, are there other freshmen from the Seven Great Planets who also possess Fifth Stage Skills?” Li Yuan asked curiously.
“The entire Alliance?” The woman in white showed a mysterious smile: “That’s confidential, and in principle, I shouldn’t disclose it to you.”
“But I can tell you this.”
“Yes!”
…
After ending his conversation with the woman in white, Li Yuan left the Starry Skies Fighting Network and returned to his ‘personal space’ in the virtual network.
“Blue Star’s number one?”
“I didn’t expect that, among the Seven Star Alliance’s freshmen, aside from myself, there are others with Fifth Stage Skills,” Li Yuan reflected to himself, not feeling too surprised.
Fang Hai had Fifth Stage Skills at 16 years old, let alone at 18 or 19 years old.
But Li Yuan would not underestimate himself.
Out of the Seven Great Planets of the Seven Star Alliance, Blue Star was not the strongest, but it was also not the weakest.
Even among other planets’ freshmen, those with Fifth Stage Skills would not be numerous.
“One step at a time.”
“Now, when I look at the younger generation of the entire human civilization, I should count myself among the first tier,” Li Yuan thought with anticipation: “As long as I continue to move forward and surpass myself.”
“Sooner or later, I will surpass all my rivals and become the number one talent of human civilization.”
Lost in thought.
Suddenly.
Li Yuan received a notification that his bank account had been credited with 50 million Blue Star Coins.
“That was quick.”
“It’s no wonder it’s a direct reward from the Seven Star Alliance,” Li Yuan muttered to himself: “Legend has it that the Seven Star Alliance is jointly led by the three great Martial Halls, and Feixing and many other Star Realms are directly managed by the Alliance, possessing endless wealth.”
Why the Seven Star Alliance could suppress various countries.
It’s because in the military, economy, martial strength, and all other aspects, they far surpass any single country, and naturally, they can unite the strength of the entire human civilization.
“My wealth.” Li Yuan tapped the light screen, starting to check his wealth column:
Bank balance: 145.61 million Blue Star Coins
Martial Hall Points: 22.18 million
Heavenly Materials Treasures: 15 units of Hundred Marrow Spiritual Dry, 15 units of Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal
…
“From October until now, what I have mainly consumed are Martial Hall Points, having bought a large number of High Origin Spirit Springs,” Li Yuan thought to himself: “Used for cultivation.”
In fact, after Li Yuan awakened the Star Meridian and was able to practice the “All Heavens’ Stars,” using the High Origin Spirit Spring for cultivation, the effect on enhancing his Physical Quality was very weak.
The improvement was less than ten percent.
Now, having achieved Unity of Heaven and Man, the use of High Origin Spirit Spring combined with the Hundred Marrow Spiritual Dry will further decrease.
However, after much deliberation, Li Yuan still decided to continue as usual, mainly because he didn’t want to expose the secret that he had awakened the ‘Star Meridian’ at the First Rank.
“No rush.”
“Now that I have achieved Unity of Heaven and Man, in combination with ‘All Heavens’ Stars,’ by the end of my freshman year, I’m certain to become a Prime Warrior,” Li Yuan thought to himself: “I’m about to head to the Mingxu Star Realm, to venture through life and death challenges, striving to increase my Spiritual Awakening Level to 30%.”
Once his Spiritual Awakening Level reached 30%.
Based on previous precedents, there should be another infusion of Origin Power.
If Origin Power infused him again, Li Yuan’s Physical Quality and spiritual power would both surge by a large margin, and becoming a Prime Warrior would really not be far off.
“The Mingxu Star Realm, I wonder what will be in store,” a light flashed in Li Yuan’s eyes.
…
Starfire University, a student villa.
Outside on the grass, the sun rose.
“Stream of Light.”
“According to the teacher, if I want to step into the Unity of Heaven and Man realm, I need to comprehend the Second Layer meaning of ‘Instant Stream of Light,'” Dantai Feng stood on the grass, silently pondering.
“But how should I comprehend it?”
“Unity of Heaven and Man, merging with the heavens and earth, how easy can it be?” Dantai Feng shook his head in distress.
He had been stuck at the Subtlety of the mind for some time but had not yet made a breakthrough.
Starfire University certainly valued him.
The conditions for his cultivation were no less favorable than for Li Yuan, even better in some respects.
But just because the external environment is favorable, it only means that there’s a greater chance of a breakthrough, not that it’s guaranteed.
Suddenly.
Ding~ Dantai Feng’s smart ring trembled violently, indicating that there was an important message, and he instinctively looked down.
“Star Master command, confidential message, for now, only you may know: Li Yuan, on the Starry Skies Combat Network, has just broken through to the Transcendent Stage, and it is confirmed that he has achieved Unity of Heaven and Man.” Dantai Feng stared at the message, and his whole person fell into a stupor.
Unity of Heaven and Man?
Li Yuan?
He remembered that powerful opponent from the battle of the ten schools’ freshmen, who had a breakthrough during the fight.
For a long while.
“Damn impressive.” Dantai Feng was somewhat dazed, muttering to himself, “This guy, I had guessed he might break through before me, but he actually surpassed me so quickly.”
“Damn it!!”
“I haven’t even warmed up the seat of the world’s number one, and now I can’t show off in front of him.” Dantai Feng muttered, then suddenly cracked a smile, “Heh, at least I won last time.”
He directly shut off his smart wrist device.
He continued to ponder over his sword technique.
To say that Dantai Feng’s mind was completely undisturbed would of course be false, but he was a man with an extremely broad mind and didn’t mind being surpassed by others too much.
He enjoyed showing off in front of others.
But he was more focused on becoming strong himself.
…
Boom!
A massive flying vehicle slowly touched down at Jiang City’s ‘Tianhe Airport’.
Sitting on his seat, Li Yang was about to get up and disembark when suddenly his smart wrist device trembled.
Without thinking, he looked down and was immediately stunned.
“What’s the matter?” Dean Xu stood up, looking toward Li Yang.
“What we came here for, I can tell you now.” Li Yang raised his head, his face already full of smiles, “Li Yuan just entered the Transcendent Stage, and it’s confirmed, he’s stepped into the Unity of Heaven and Man.”
“Fifth Stage, Unity of Heaven and Man?” Dean Xu’s pupils shrank slightly, incredulous.
She immediately understood the purpose of her and Li Yang’s visit to Jiang City.
“Let’s go.”
“Since we’re already here, let’s take a look at the first genius of our Kunlun Martial University in the past fifty years.” Li Yang said with a smile, walking out of the flying vehicle.
…
Around noon.
Just after the family of Li Yuan finished eating, Li Yuan was about to accompany his uncle to go fishing.
Suddenly, outside the villa, a flying vehicle rapidly descended from the sky.
Still over thirty meters off the ground.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Three figures directly flew down from the flying vehicle, gently landing on the grass outside the villa.
This scene.
Made Li Changzhou and his aunt Chen Hui all startle, jumping down directly from over thirty meters?
Unscathed, what kind of strength was this?
“Teacher, Dean Xu, Hall Master Fei?” Li Yuan looked at the three unexpected visitors, his heart shocked.
He instantly guessed that it probably had something to do with him reaching the Transcendent Stage on the Starry Skies Fighting Network.
However.
It was one thing for Hall Master Fei to come, but why would President Li and Dean Xu come so quickly?
“Hall Master Fei?” Li Changzhou and Chen Hui didn’t recognize Li Yang and the others, but they recognized Hall Master Fei.
And judging by the order of arrival of the three visitors.
As the Hall Master of Jiang City, ‘Fei Qian’s’ status seemed to be somewhat lower?
“Li Yuan.” Li Yang strode forward.
“Teacher, Dean Xu, Grandpa Fei.” Li Yuan stepped forward and bowed slightly in greeting.
“Haha, Li Yuan, don’t worry about me, today the main visitors are President Li and the others, I’m just accompanying them.” Fei Qian said with a chuckle.
In terms of authority, he seemed to be higher than Li Yang and the others as the Hall Master of the provincial capital.
But at their level of strength, personal power was valued more than worldly authority.
Both Li Yang and Dean Xu were far more powerful than Fei Qian.
“Li Yuan, find a quiet place, and we’ll talk slowly.” Li Yang said with a smile.
“Okay.” Li Yuan nodded, “This way, please, Teacher.”
“You two must be Li Yuan’s uncle and aunt.” Dean Xu smiled at Li Changzhou and Chen Hui, “You’ve raised a fine child.”
“Greetings to our senior.” Li Changzhou and Chen Hui were both pleasantly surprised, realizing that the visitors held extremely high status.
In ordinary days, with their status, they would hardly have a chance to see these figures.
Now, they were speaking with such pleasantness, no doubt because of Li Yuan.
…
Li Yuan led Li Yang to the underground Martial Arts Room.
“Activate the soundproofing.” Li Yang directly said.
“Yes, Teacher.” Li Yuan nodded, a chill in his heart, is this much precaution necessary?
Immediately, Li Yuan activated the soundproofing of the Martial Arts Room to avoid outside snooping.
“We are aware of the Fish Spirit Tide incident in Jiang City, and you performed very well this time.” Li Yang said, “This time your Unity of Heaven and Man has caused shock among the entire school’s upper echelons.”
“It’s said to have alarmed the President, who specifically ordered to seal many of your records.”
“The President?” Li Yuan’s heart flashed with curiosity, “Teacher, who is the President?”
“The President?”
“I only know his last name is Fang, but who he really is, I’m not sure.” Li Yang shook his head, “Perhaps only the deans of the eight major colleges know.”
Li Yuan nodded slightly, this mysterious?
Surely Li Yang, as a vice dean, would be considered part of the upper echelons of the school, yet he didn’t even know the President’s name?
“The President is a legendary figure, rumored to be a ‘Star Master’ from the Seven Star Alliance.” Li Yang said with a smile, “Maybe in the future, you’ll have a chance to meet the President.”
“Star Master?” Li Yuan puzzled.
“Only those who have surpassed the Flying Heaven level, or those nearly invincible among the Flying Heaven level, can serve as the Alliance Star Master.” Li Yang briefly explained.
Which let Li Yuan know how fearsome a being the President was.
“Alright, that’s not important.”
“There’s no need to test your strength this time.” Li Yang flipped his hand, presenting a box, “The main purpose of coming here is to follow Dean Hai’s orders, to bring you a life-saving treasure before you go to the Ruins Star Realm.”
