"Yes." Li Yuan noted down the name of the secret recipe.
"The second thing I called you for." said Dean Hai.
"After the winter break in December and returning to school at the beginning of January, you will be arranged to venture into the Mingxu Star Realm."
"What place is that?" Li Yuan had never heard of this star realm.
With his current authority in Xinghuo Martial Temple, most of the Star Realm had the authority to know some information.
"This is a vast, undeveloped first-class star domain." On the side, Director Li added: "At present, in the Mingyu Star Domain, our human civilization is gradually expanding, and there have been small-scale battles with native creatures of the star domain... but the level of combat is not too high, making it most suitable for you."
"After all, I couldn't have you stationed at the Star Boundary anyway." Li Yang smiled and said, "It's meaningless."
"Good." Li Yuan nodded.
Having taken so many general education courses and adding Li Yuan's own database of queries, he clearly understood the differences between different star realms.
Some star territories are completely occupied by humans and are very safe, perhaps without a single battle for many years. Many warriors hope to be dispatched to these places.
Because of safety!
Other star domains, such as those in a state of war or sworn enemies... For example, Robb Sea is very dangerous. If the Yuan Wu enters, they will be cannon fodder. If you go in and fight, you can easily die in a large-scale battle.
Unless one has the abilities of a flying warrior, otherwise, in that kind of large-scale battle, an individual is extremely powerless.
It sounds like this Mingyu Xingjie is more suitable for myself.
"Your life and death struggles will be evaluated by the head of the Martial Temple in the Ming Xing Realm." The Dean of the Sea Academy smiled: "If you perform well enough."
"When you return to school, the school will prepare another thick gift for you!"
"It should also be the most important gift that school can prepare for you before graduation."
"It's hard to measure with money." Dean Hai didn't say what it was: "At least, I can't provide it."
Li Yuan held his breath.
The Sea Emperor is a Flying Swordsman, what kind of gift can't be provided? What would it be?
Is this a rare treasure? It doesn't sound like it.
"Calculating it out, there's still half a month before the life and death trial, let's cultivate properly."
"Life and death are determined by strength, not talent." Dean Hai looked at Li Yuan and couldn't help but say: "Every bit of additional strength increases the chances of survival in the Star Realm."
"I hope you come back alive to see me."
"Yes." Li Yuan nodded.
……
Back at the villa.
Li Yuan directly logged into the virtual network and entered the Wudao Zhiwang space.
Quickly.
Li Yuan then searched for the third-level skill manual "Starry Intent".
Second-class secret books are as numerous as the stars.
But there were fewer third-class secret books, and very few had duplicate names.
"It seems that this 'Starlight Intent' is not just a simple shooting technique, but an atmosphere." Li Yuan quickly browsed through the introduction of this secret skill.
Confirmed without error.
Buy!
"First-year student 'Li Yuan', your free quota for learning third-level secret books has been reduced by 1, and the remaining quota is 2." The system voice sounded: "The skill secret book you just purchased has been sent to your personal space."
……
In his personal space, Li Yuan listened attentively to the intelligent teacher's lecture.
"You're learning gunplay."
"It can be understood that 'Xīng Chén Zhī Yì' is an extension of the ultimate subtlety 'Star Boundary Realm' of 'Xīng Chén Qiāng Fǎ'."
"What is imitated is the intention of the movement of the stars outside the sky."
It can be divided into four heavy boundaries: the body is like a star, the stars are dust, the star river gathers, and the stars return to the nest. The intelligent slowly said: "If you have already understood the 'Star Gun Method', the first heavy boundary 'body like a star' should be able to enter quickly."
"The key is the second heavy 'starry dust', once you understand the second heavy, it means you have reached the threshold of heaven and man unity."
Wow!
The intelligent teacher waved his hand and he and Li Yuan disappeared under their feet, directly transforming into an endless starry sky scene.
In the distant void, there are dark stars twinkling one by one.
"Look at me." The intelligent teacher said softly, and a long gun had appeared in his palm without anyone knowing when.
"Wow!"
With a single shot, his entire demeanor changed in an instant. Dazed and confused, Li Yuan suddenly felt a magnificent star rolling forward... a very mysterious feeling.
However, Li Yuan could still feel a sense of discordant illusion.
"Virtual networks are ultimately not real, for five-stage techniques, only 50% of the real effect can be simulated."
"These three-stage gun techniques, you'd better be able to invite a true fifth-dan master to engage in actual combat and gain insight into progress."
……
November 19th afternoon, inside Li Yuan's villa.
Underground martial arts room.
"These past few days, I've been practicing 'Starry Sky Intent' on the virtual network. How does it feel?" Li Yang smiled and asked.
"It's almost meaningless." Li Yuan shook his head and said, "I haven't really gotten started yet."
"This is certain."
"The intelligent teacher teaches techniques below the fourth dan, and it is more effective for those who are good at learning." Li Yang smiled and said: "But once you reach the fourth dan, the teaching effect of the intelligent teacher will be slightly worse."
"Five-stage technique can only simulate 50% effect."
"Like six degrees of craftsmanship, it's also impossible to simulate."
"So, virtual battles on the virtual network, whether it's various assessments or Starry Sky Battle Net, can only reach a maximum of five segments of perfect skills." Li Yang smiled and said: "Like you're already at the Sun-Deprived segment now."
"The martial saint level, generally five levels of perfect skill, can be reached."
Li Yuan was astonished; this was something he had previously been unaware of.
But Li Yuan had already sensed it, and for him, the virtual network effect was rapidly diminishing.
Like StarCraft's ladder system, he has now reached the rank of Grandmaster, but every time he does a ranked match... it takes a long time.
The number of masters who can reach this level is drastically reduced worldwide.
Martial arts training, virtual networks are just auxiliary means after all, the stronger they are, the more they need to return to reality.
" 'Stellar Intent' I've also pondered, but my path ultimately differs slightly." Li Yang said: "I'll try to simulate as much as possible and engage in actual combat with you."
"In battle, help you to feel as much as possible, but ultimately let yourself understand."
"Heaven and man are united, the natural world is understood, but in the end it relies on your own spiritual breakthrough to cross this crucial threshold." Li Yang said solemnly: "Many high-level Yuanwu practitioners have been trapped in this realm for decades, which is a common occurrence."
"Yes."
……
That's it.
After mid-November, after Li Yuan's skills reached the limit of four segments, his training plan changed again.
Apart from daily practice, I basically no longer participate in public 'martial arts classes', and even actual combat training has changed.
It was changed to two formal teachers, plus Principal Li, taking turns to conduct combat training on him.
Because ordinary source martial artists' skills are too weak, actual combat training is of little help to Li Yuan.
One must have sufficient skill to exert pressure on him and give him some inspiration.
Occasionally, Director Xu would also come to instruct Li Yuan.
In this way, Li Yuan was completely immersed in his martial arts training, and time flew by quickly. His overall strength also rose rapidly.
Before long, it was mid-December.
During this time.
A small team arrived at Xinghuo Martial Temple, very low-key, and not many people knew about it.
This small team came, is specially to deliver the 'Source Power War Clothes', as well as a special long gun and long knife tailored to Li Yuan's height and body type, auxiliary equipment for venturing into the Starry Sky.
……
December 14th afternoon, inside the underground martial arts room of the villa.
"Hmmph!"
"Whoosh!" Li Yuan suddenly thrust forward, one spear strike after another shooting out like a whirlwind, swift as lightning, precisely the "Twelve Consecutive Strikes" from the Starlight Spear Technique.
One after another burst of rapid and violent explosions formed a trail of residual images in mid-air.
It's no longer twelve combos, but twenty-four combos, forty-eight combos... as if there's no end in sight.
If there were other masters who also practiced the "Stellar Spear Technique", they would definitely be shocked to discover this.
With this move, Li Yuan's spear momentum seemed to have no end, one wave after another, when hundreds of spears were continuously stabbed out, the momentum had accumulated to an unimaginable level.
"The gun is like a star rolling! Control!" Li Yuan's mind was meticulous, controlling the explosion of his physical strength.
Weakened.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" The originally violent and unbridled gun shadow suddenly weakened, quickly becoming stable.
This is amazing.
Just like a boxer, when one punch is heavily thrown out, if it's not thoroughly released and abruptly stopped halfway, the body will feel extremely uncomfortable.
The twelve consecutive shots of the star river waterfall are also like this. Once the gun style reaches its peak, it's best to complete the final shot, which can make the body and mind feel relieved.
"Hard yet soft."
"Today, I can finally say that I have thoroughly comprehended the first heavy boundary of 'Xīng Chén Zhī Yì', 'Body like Starlight'." Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile.
This is not a major breakthrough.
Break through the first heavy boundary, skills are still considered four-stage perfection
From spiritual subtlety to martial arts heaven and man, it's not easy to break through.
Even if Li Yuan makes rapid progress.
Now it can only be said that continuous accumulation is laying a solid foundation for understanding the second heavy 'stardust'.
What is meant by sudden enlightenment is that one must first accumulate sufficient depth.
If you have never seriously pondered and thought about it, and there is no accumulation at all, then what can sudden enlightenment suddenly enlighten?
"Tomorrow, I can return to Jiang City." Li Yuan thought of this and revealed a hint of a smile.
It's been almost half a year since I last saw my uncle, aunt and siblings, although we occasionally video call.
But for a while, Li Yuan still missed home somewhat.
Home is always a place of nostalgia.
"After half a month's vacation, I will be heading to Ming Xiu Star Boundary." Li Yuan said to himself.
This was an arrangement made long ago.
"With my current strength, I should be able to make a name for myself in the First Star Realm." Li Yuan glanced at Shen Gong's expressionless face.
——
Life Rank: 15.8 (First Tier)
Punching force: 16,545 kilograms
Speed: 57.2 m/s
Mental Power: 24.6 grade
Willpower: 29 levels
Spiritual Awakening Degree: 25% (Current Upper Limit 25%)
Stellar Vein: Level 10
Mastery Boundary: Gun Technique (4th stage 99%), Body Technique (4th stage 99%), Fist Technique (4th stage 99%)
……
"After going home, relax a bit and spend more time with Uncle and Aunt. Li Yuan thought to himself: 'As long as I practice the Stellar Cultivation Method normally every day, circulate my stellar veins, breaking through the 16th level of physical quality is no problem at all.'"
A 16th-level physique, combined with four extreme skills and the Yuanli Battle Clothes... Li Yuan dared to engage in life-or-death battles with 18th or even 19th level warriors.
"Speaking of strength alone."
"I should catch up with Instructor Xing soon." Li Yuan suddenly smiled: "However, compared to Teacher Xu Bo, I'm still far behind. After all, Teacher Xu Bo is a fourth-degree master of skills."
……
Late at night, Li Yuan packed up his things and headed home.
As Li Yang specially sent over a unit of 'Stardust Crystal' and a unit of 'Hundred Marrow Divine Furnace', this was for his cultivation preparation in the Bright Expanse Star Domain in January.
So he doesn't have to make a special trip back to school.
With Li Yuan's current strength, as long as he is careful, he can also protect such a treasure.
While for things like Gao Yuan Ling Quan, you can go back to Jiang City and buy them again.
"Uh-huh."
"There are also specialties and gifts prepared by his uncle, aunt, younger brother and sister." Li Yuan showed a faint smile.
Special local products as gifts, Li Yuan bought a lot, but the family's gifts were the most thoughtful, all of which were put into the bag.
And people like Xu Bo and Wan Qinghe have one too.
Lian Lin and Li Yuan each bought a copy, although they were unsure if the other would return to Jiang City for the holiday.
These gifts were all sent back to Jiang City by Li Yuan a day in advance.
"It's already 4 o'clock in the morning."
"Practice shooting, practice until 7 o'clock, after eating breakfast go sit on a plane to the airport." Li Yuan said quietly.
Cultivation has been carved into my bones.
……
Night fell, when Li Yuan was practicing his gun in the villa.
In the distant province of Jiangbei, a dark river flows continuously in the depths of the underground.
A group of large, green-skinned fish-like warriors were crawling along the dark river.
Racial talent, making it easy for them to adapt to the environment here.
"Hmmph!"
"Hurry up... there's still 300 kilometers left."
"Target, Human River City." Many Fish Spirit Tribe warriors were communicating in their native language.
……
December 15th.
At noon, Li Yuan, who was on board a 'hypersonic aircraft', appeared at Jiang City Tianhe Airport.
"Jiang Cheng, I'm back." Li Yuan walked down from the aircraft, a smile on his face.
Not far away.
"Li Yuan, welcome home." Wan Qinghe was standing not far away, waiting for him.
