Sitting cross-legged in the depths of the cave, the narrow entrance was blocked with broken wooden planks.

  "There is no other life inside the cave, no danger." Li Yuan's mental strength was so strong, combined with his unique 'Divine Palace Exploration'.

  If there was life in the cave, he would have detected it long ago.

  This is also the reason why he can easily find crocodile monsters at the beginning.

  "The transformation of the body is so fast." Li Yuan closed his eyes and could clearly feel the continuous transformation of his physical quality.

  Even because of evolution too fast, it made Li Yuan's body slightly feverish and sore.

  This rapid growth in physical fitness is essentially a repeated tearing and reorganization of the body's muscles, bones, and flesh.

  But with Li Yuan's strong will, enduring this suffering was easy.

  "In the past three hours, it has strengthened by about 0.5 grades."

  "This one hour, has increased by about 0.1 grade? From the perspective of life level, it seems to have slowed down a lot, but from physical strength, there is a subtle trend of acceleration." Li Yuan secretly admired.

  The hierarchy of life levels, the farther back, the more astonishing the gap.

  From 10.0 to 11.0, the standard punching power difference is 500 kilograms.

  But from 18.0 to 19.0, the standard punching power difference is 14,000 kilograms.

  This is also the reason why many warriors can be promoted to 15th or 16th rank in just a few years at university, but after graduation, they find it difficult to promote to 19th rank even after twenty years of practice.

  This is also Qiu Jing, who seems to have inferior skills compared to Li Yuan, but has a 1.6-level higher physical quality, which allows him to massacre a group of Yanmo warriors.

  A 12.9-level fist strength is more than double a 11.3-level fist strength.

  The gap in skills is not too big, and the overall strength is more than five times that of Li Yuan, so it can naturally kill.

  After a warrior enters the next level, their life level increases by 1-2 levels, and their standard punching power doubles.

  "Spirit."

  Li Yuan's spiritual power is much stronger than before. He left a part of his consciousness to perceive the external danger, and a small portion of his consciousness has entered the spiritual world.

  Enter directly into the inner sanctum of the heart.

  As expected by Li Yuan, the White Jade Staircase that had previously disappeared reappeared inside the Spiritual Divine Palace.

  A wisp of golden mist was drifting down from the upper levels accessible by the stairs, merging into the ground of the temple.

  "What I feel is this mysterious power that guides the source of energy into the body, dispersing from my brain... Is it this golden mist? What exactly is it?" Li Yuan thought to himself.

  Suddenly.

  On the stairs, the golden mist that had originally dissipated and merged into the ground suddenly split off a small portion, which directly merged into Li Yuan's consciousness.

  "Boom!"

  Almost the same as last time, Li Yuan's consciousness was struck by lightning in an instant, and he became dizzy again, his entire spiritual world turned into endless dark space.

  "Is it a dark space again?" Li Yuan's spiritual power was much stronger than last time, barely maintaining his consciousness, with a clear perception of the changes in the spiritual world.

  Buzz~

  He felt that countless starlights appeared out of thin air, nourishing his spiritual consciousness.

  [Your soul has been nourished, your spiritual power has increased from 18.4 to 18.5] A divine palace prompt appeared unknowingly.

  "Just as I expected."

  "This golden mist can nourish and enhance spiritual power, and also guide the source of power into the body." Li Yuan had an epiphany, silently feeling the double enhancement of his physical quality and spiritual power.

  At the same time.

  He realized he was in a dark space.

  "Seeking dust and searching for subtlety, combining to form a whole, the essence of the sun and moon, the foundation of spiritual power..." The majestic and vast voice echoed again in the dark space.

  Familiar sounds, familiar words.

  "Ling Ji." Li Yuan's heart was moved.

  Last time when Yuan Li entered the body, one's consciousness fell into a deep sleep, with very shallow perception.

  But this time, I could clearly feel the mysterious vibrations contained in this vast and ancient voice.

  Extremely mysterious, as if representing some kind of ultimate principle.

  "Stars!"

  Gradually, as he listened to this vast and mysterious sound, Li Yuan's consciousness vaguely saw that in the endless darkness, there seemed to be stars of darkness that were gradually emitting light.

  Becoming brighter and more dazzling.

  More and more stars lit up, from the initial dozens to hundreds, thousands... A large number of lit-up stars formed various strange trajectories, twinkling in the dark space...

  "The stars are like lines." Li Yuan had an epiphany and subconsciously wanted to remember these strange star trajectories as much as possible.

  This action was extremely exhausting, causing Li Yuan's consciousness to become increasingly drowsy, as if he was about to fall into a deep sleep.

  ……

  When Li Yuan was hiding in the cave, his physical fitness and mental strength were constantly improving.

  In the three-tiered conference room of the war fortress in the starry sky where he was located.

  "What is Li Yuan doing? He has been hiding in the cave for more than six hours." Dean Lei was somewhat puzzled.

  "Isn't this your problem?" The Dean Xu shook his head beside him.

  "What's wrong with me?" Principal Li was taken aback.

  "Are you expecting him to fight and kill at night?" Director Xu shook his head, "His physical condition is the worst among the students in the fourth base. At night, visibility is affected by interference, if he goes to fight and hunt forcibly, it will be even more dangerous."

  "Why don't you hide and take a good rest, and slaughter again in the daytime."

  "This shows he has self-awareness and is not reckless." Dean Xu said: "I have high hopes for him."

  "Alright." Director Li nodded in agreement, also thinking that Director Xu's words were reasonable.

  Only.

  He remembered clearly that when Li Yuan hid in the cave, it was still more than an hour before the sky completely darkened.

  "Could it be that I misjudged and inadvertently helped him grow?" For a moment, Director Li was somewhat doubtful of himself.

  ……

  The sun rises and sets.

  The time has come to 10 o'clock in the morning of the second day.

  The other students who participated in the fourth base had all rested well and came out of their respective camps to start a new day of actual combat.

  The cave where Li Yuan was hiding remained sealed, with no signs of movement or noise.

  The drone has been guarding outside the cave all along, but can't see the scenery inside the cave.

  "Could it be that Li Yuan has encountered some trouble?" A hint of worry flashed across Dean Lei's eyes.

  "There shouldn't be."

  "The drone has been monitoring, no strangers have appeared." Dean Xu shook his head and said: "The positioning ring shows that he is still in the cave, his vital signs are stable...no problem."

  "How come he still hasn't come out?" Dean Lei was getting anxious: "The class points have been completely left behind by Yang Hong and Wu Luo."

  As vice principals, they can check the ranking of points for each grade and base across the school at any time.

  Like freshmen in their first year of college.

  Although they are in different actual combat assessment areas such as Base 1, Base 2, and Base 4, they will have a common grade ranking.

  High ranking in grade, with rewards.

  High base ranking also has rewards.

  That was his choice.

  "As long as he's not in mortal danger, we can't interfere with the actual combat assessment." Dean Xu shook his head and said, "Be patient and wait."

  "Hmm." Principal Lei could only wait.

  The time has come to twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

  Li Yuan still hasn't come out of the cave, and 24 hours have passed since the practical assessment began.

  "The first base and second base's actual combat assessment has ended." Principal Xu suddenly spoke up.

  The practical assessment of the first base and the second base will last for one day only.

  The third and fourth bases lasted for two days.

  The fifth base will last for three days.

  "Got it." Principal Lei said in a low voice, staring at the light screen.

  At this moment, he had an impulse to rush into the actual combat assessment base and pull Li Yuan out of the cave.

  I really want to ask Li Yuan, what does he plan to do?

  ……

  The second base is located in Xingjie.

  "Wu Luo." Yang Hong walked down from the flying machine, carrying a war axe on his back. He saw Wu Luo walking towards him from afar, covered in blood all over his body.

  Yang Hong took the initiative to welcome him.

  "This time, I won again."

  Yang Hong smiled with a smirk: "This time in the practical assessment, among the first-year freshmen, I got the highest score."

  24 hours of fierce fighting, he didn't even rest at night, crazily searching for prey.

  Final score, 196 points, ranking first in grade.

  He also rushed into the top 30 of more than a thousand students in the second base.

  It is worth noting that the second base is mainly composed of sophomores and above.

  It can be seen that Yang Hong is very hardworking.

  Wu Luo scored 171 points, although he was second among freshmen, but the score gap is quite obvious.

  "First?" Wu Luo snorted: "You're quite desperate, I'm not as crazy as you, but do you think you've already won?"

  Yang Hong was taken aback.

  "Ugly." Wu Luo sneered: "Li Yuan is at the Fourth Base, and the starry sky creatures' strength in the Fourth Base is much more formidable. Killing the same number of starry sky creatures is much harder than it is for us at the Second Base... but the assessment time has been extended by one day."

  "He has 24 hours left."

  "You're stupid." Yang Hong said disdainfully: "I've been observing Li Yuan's score, and just yesterday it started to rise sharply."

  "But from 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon until now, it hasn't gone up a single cent."

  "He hasn't withdrawn from the actual combat assessment yet, but it's likely he was injured."

  "After all, most of the fourth base are senior three or even senior four old students, his physical quality is much worse, very dangerous."

  "Besides."

  "The longer the delay, the fewer starry creatures... Even if he wasn't injured, it's almost impossible to catch up with over a hundred points in one day." Yang Hong was very confident.

  "Just wait and see." Wu Luo said with a cold smile, in his heart he had actually already acknowledged Yang Hong's judgment.

  However!

  Wu Luo lost to Li Yuan because Li Yuan was indeed too strong and his strength far exceeded Wu's.

  About Yang Hong?

  Wu Luo Ke was not convinced.

  The two have been quietly competing for the title of "Second-in-Command" in Class One.

  ……

  If it were Yang Hong and Wu Luo, they could still calmly look at Li Yuan's score.

  So, in the first base of the starry sky, when the freshmen gathered on the square, it was already a piece of discussion.

  "Li Yuan, how did you get over 50 points?"

  "It's been a whole day."

  "Yang Hong killed nearly 200 divisions at the second base, pulling the San Yuan group's ranking up by a big margin."

  "Is it possible that our three institutes will take the first place in the overall score of this practical assessment?" The new students from each institute were all discussing and paying attention to the team scores.

  Except for Li Yuan, all the scores of the new freshmen have been finalized.

  Ranking of universities in Taiwan:

  First place: San Yuan (4031 points)

  Second place: Wuyuan (3951 points)

  Third place: Liu Yuan (3931 points)

  Fourth place: Seventh Institute (3874 points)

  ……

  The total score gap between each college is not large.

  Kunlun Wu Da's design difficulty was already planned at the time.

  Normally, more than one-third of students will drop out midway through.

  Even if they can complete the practical assessment, most people's scores are only around 20-30 points.

  The first base rest area, a gathering place for new students from the six institutes of Dalian University of Technology.

  "Our total score of six courts is only 100 points away from three courts."

  "The gap is much smaller than when we first entered the competition."

  "Third place for now, it's okay."

  "Master brother only got over 50 points? Didn't he say yesterday that he could get 200 points? Yang Hong even got 196 points at the second base."

  "Rubbish? That's the fourth base, all of them are third-year seniors, how can 200 points be that hard? You go instead, it'd be good if you can survive for half an hour."

  "It's really unfair! If Senior Brother were also in the second base, he might have even gotten 300 or 400 points, and Yang Hong would not have had a chance." The new students of the Sixth Institute discussed among themselves.

  "These are school rules."

  "Can Master Brother get 190 points on the second day when he only got over 50 points on the first day?"

  "It's tough, actual combat assessment, the later stages have fewer starry creatures, making it harder to get points." No one really blamed Li Yuan for getting few points.

  Most people know the difficulty of the fourth base.

  It's just that many people can't help but feel disappointed in their hearts.

  "Believe in Big Brother."

  "There is still a whole day left, and maybe miracles can be created." Many students also firmly support Li Yuan, believing that Li Yuan can create miracles, mainly from freshmen from Jiangcheng.

  Soon.

  Freshmen of the first and second campuses set foot on their way back to school.

  But many new births are concerned about Li Yuan's final actual combat score.

  The overall score of the group involves everyone's personal interests.

  ……

  July 31st, 1 o'clock in the afternoon.

  Inside the fourth base's actual combat assessment venue, there are 23 hours left until the end of the assessment.

  In the dimly lit cave, a little light shines in through the crevices.

  "Huh? Yuan Li entered his body and it's over?" Li Yuan suddenly regained his clarity.

  "Ah!"

  Li Yuan subconsciously lowered his head and looked at his fists, gently clenching them into fists, only to feel that there was an inexhaustible power within him.

  Ready to explode at any time.

  This power is much stronger than it was in the past.

  He looked up again towards a not-too-distant place, and his eyesight and hearing had made astonishing progress.

  "My life level." Li Yuan's gaze swept across the divine palace panel.

  ——

  Life Rank: 12.7 (First Tier)

  Punching force: 4460 kg

  Speed: 34.2 m/s

  Spiritual Power: 20.0 grade

  Spiritual Awakening Degree: 20% (Current Upper Limit 25%)

  Mastery Boundary: Gun Technique (4th stage 53%), Body Technique (4th stage 42%), Fist Technique (4th stage 55%)

  Note: Spiritual awakening upper limit increased to 25%. When the life level reaches 14 and the spiritual awakening degree reaches 25%, you can obtain spiritual guidance.

  ——

  "Huh?" Li Yuan was shocked and thrilled in his heart.

  That's really over the top.

  Just one night plus half a day, and your physical fitness and mental strength have improved so much?

  Compared to the first time the Origin Energy entered his body, it had increased by four or five times.

  It seems that the level of life has only been upgraded by 1.4 levels.

  But it depends on the specific physical quality change, the fist strength directly soared from 2250 kg to 4460 kg, nearly doubled.

  The burst speed has also increased significantly.

  Such an increase in amplitude is absolutely terrifying, many Kunlun Wu University students have been practicing for half a year and still haven't reached this level.

  "Physical improvement is one aspect, but the key is spiritual strength." Li Yuan's gaze fell on one of the columns.

  Spiritual Power, Level 20.

  This is truly the source of Bushido.

  Unconsciously, Li Yuan has already completed two of the three major checkpoints that countless Wu Zhe could hardly reach.

  Only physical quality is left.

  "The spiritual force broke through the 20-level barrier and also awakened my spiritual awareness limit, directly reaching 25%." Li Yuan's heart was slightly trembling: "Spiritual guidance?"

  It's been more than two years.

  From high school sophomore to freshman year, for more than two years, I have been studying the higher spirituality and spiritual guidance in the Palace of the Mind.

  Still fruitless.

  Now Li Yuan finally saw hope.

  "Physical quality 14th level, can open spiritual guidance?" Li Yuan muttered to himself.

  My life level has already reached 12.7, although there is still a gap with 14 levels, but it's not far away.

  "Whatever."

  "Physical quality will slowly improve again, first raise the spiritual awakening degree to 25%, and then meet one of the requirements." Li Yuan made a decision in his heart instantly.

  Isn't it just killing some interstellar creatures?

  There's still 23 hours left, just kill four or five heads and it'll be enough.

  "Ah!"

  Li Yuan stood up and stretched his muscles slightly.

  With a punch suddenly bursting out, the fist shape residual shadow is much faster than before.

  "With my current physical condition and marksmanship skills, I will be even stronger than Qiu Jing." Li Yuan made the judgment.

  Li Yuan and Qiu Jing have sparred on Starry Sky Net.

  According to Li Yuan's judgment, her axe technique level should be around 4th stage 20%.

  What about Li Yuan?

  The shooting percentage is 53%, which is already very close to the high level of four segments, and has been greatly improved.

  "The only thing to worry about."

  "It's the monitoring of actual combat assessment."

  "Although most people are unclear about my strength, Teacher Li and Teacher Jiang know very well." Li Yuan's mind flashed with many thoughts: "Body quality doubled overnight?"

  Too unreasonable.

  It's too abrupt and likely to make people think of "Tian Cai Di Bao" at first glance.

  "No need to unleash full power, first raise spiritual awakening degree to 25% and then talk." Li Yuan grasped the long spear inserted into the stone wall tightly.

  Suddenly drawn out!

  A first-class long spear, extremely sturdy and smooth as new.

  Then took out some food and water from the backpack and ate them all up.

  "Boom!"

  Li Yuan grasped his long spear and with a flash of movement, he burst through the trees blocking the entrance to the cave and emerged outside.

  The sun is shining brightly.

  "Go."

  ……

  "Li Yuan has come out." Dean Xu was the first to notice and smiled: "He's in good spirits, looks like he rested well."

  "Take a look." Dean Lei frowned.

  He had already thought it out and was going to give Li Yuan a good scolding after the practical assessment was over.

  This is utterly unreasonable.

  "Hey Lao Li, don't mind it too much. For a little guy like Li Yuan, having some setbacks is nothing to worry about." A chubby old man beside him said with a smile.

  This old man is one of the three deputy directors of the Eighth Institute, 'Qin Huo'.

  "Qin surname, get out of here." Li Yang glanced at the other person: "I'm not in a good mood now, don't mess with me, or go back and practice?"

  "Old Xu, won't you control him?" The chubby old man glared with one eye.

  "Alright, you two stop arguing." Dean Xu felt a headache coming on and his gaze fell onto the light screen.

  Pay attention to Li Yuan.

  ……

  An hour later, about four kilometers away from Li Yuan's resting cave.

  Two massive alien beast corpses lay in a pool of blood.

  "A 12.9-level Star Boundary being, and yet it only increased the spiritual awakening degree by 0.1 levels?" Li Yuan looked at the reminder on the Divine Palace panel with a sigh of helplessness.

  Obviously previously killed one head, can still increase by 1.2%.

  Now, even killing two heads in a row only raises it to 20.2%, which is too slow.

  "Is a spiritual awakening of 20% really a checkpoint?" Li Yuan suddenly realized.

  Just like warriors, the difference in life hierarchy before and after entering the stage is astonishing.

  "With only 22 hours left until the actual combat assessment, I want to find forty or fifty exotic beasts, but the hope is slim." Li Yuan's heart flashed with a hint of anxiety.

  I thought killing four or five would be enough.

  Now, we have to kill forty or fifty heads.

  Killing is easy, what's hard is finding a target.

  "There's only one way to be safe." Li Yuan suddenly turned his head and stared at the distant mountain forest.

  It was yesterday that I met Qiujing Shifu in that direction.

  "Yanmo Tribe Village."

  "Qiu Jing said that there are more than 200 warriors in this tribe, and as long as I kill a portion of them, it will be enough for me to push my spiritual awakening degree to 25%."

  "But I'm afraid we'll have to unleash our full strength now." A hint of coldness flashed through Li Yuan's eyes.

  "Then let it explode."

  "Even if I really provoke the flying heavenly warrior to investigate, as long as they can't find out about the Heart Spirit Palace, in the end it will still be attributed to my extremely high innate talent."

  "As long as it is strong enough, there will be great Confucians to interpret the classics for me." Li Yuan suddenly understood everything.

  Although bursting out all one's strength has certain risks, the potential gains are also great.

  Twice the source of power entered his body, and his actual strength increased by so much.

  What's so mystical about that 'spiritual guidance'? Missing this practical test means having to wait until next February.

  "Go!" Li Yuan's figure moved swiftly, rushing towards the direction of the Rock Desert tribe.

  ……

  An hour later.

  Deep underground, on a high-speed train.

  The train was packed with freshmen from all six institutes, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

  Suddenly.

  "Look quickly, Senior Brother, Senior Brother's score has exceeded 200. Just a few seconds ago, he rose by over a hundred points." A shout of surprise rang out.

  "Our sixth college, in the first year new student group total score ranked first!!"
