After imparting the "True Explanation of the Great Earth Star Pulse", Bai Shan Xing Zhu had discussed with Li Yuan about the various key points of this school.

  Every life star contains the essence of spiritual life.

  Imprinting star marks on the surface of life stars, in essence, is to make subtle adjustments to the nature of each life star with powerful spiritual power and super-high skills.

  Of course, it's just a surface adjustment... rather than a thorough change of a star.

  So, as long as the number of life stars branded with star marks is sufficient, once the star pulse rotates, these life stars will form a chain reaction... and finally burst out with unimaginable power.

  That's why.

  A star vein as a whole, under normal circumstances, can only cultivate one star technique.

  Practicing multiple star techniques on one meridian? Once the meridian is activated, it's easy for the non-unified star marks of different techniques to collide with each other, causing fatal damage to oneself.

  These are the lessons left behind by numerous predecessors in history with their own blood and tears.

  Same here.

  Some extremely terrifying star techniques, they want to thoroughly operate, and must also have enough life stars to jointly induce... require sevenfold star pulse or eightfold star pulse, ninefold star pulse.

  "As said by Bai Shan Xing Zhu."

  "My skills and spiritual power are sufficient, and I also have the divine crystal of the earth to stimulate the potential of my life... As long as there is a certain degree of harmony with the earth's pulse, I can start imprinting star marks. With increasing proficiency, I will quickly succeed." Li Yuan recalled Bai Shan's words: "But can it be done in just one try?"

  "Is it because of skill? Spiritual power? No! It's definitely not!"

  "With the vision of Bai Shan Xing Zhu, I can clearly see the general level of these few items, it's impossible to miscalculate... Then there are only two possibilities." Li Yuan thought to himself: "Firstly, it's that my compatibility with the Earth element is extremely high, to a shocking degree, so imprinting the star mark is very easy."

  "Secondly, it's the perfect stellar vein... just like how difficult it is to cultivate high-level star techniques with a low-grade stellar vein, conversely, cultivating ordinary star techniques with a strong stellar vein will be much easier."

  A strong star pulse is like fertile land, where anything planted will grow easily.

  "Whatever."

  "Whatever the reason may be, it's a good thing that they were able to succeed so quickly."

  "Let's work hard and see if we can thoroughly master this introductory chapter of astrology." Li Yuan gently closed his eyes.

  With a thought, the perfect stellar pulse continued to operate, absorbing the strange power contained in the Earth God Crystal.

  In fact, Li Yuan had tried it from the beginning, to see if he could cultivate directly by himself.

  It turned out that without the Earth God Crystal, the Life Star was too dim, and I could only achieve vague sensations... let alone perform complex operations on the surface of the Life Star.

  Only by relying on the Earth God Crystal can Li Yuan have a chance to cultivate the "Great Land Star Pulse True Solution" now.

  Time flies.

  Whoa! The Earth God Crystal is being continuously absorbed by Li Yuan, who is going all out with his spiritual power fully sensing and constantly trying... One by one, the Life Stars are successfully branded with Star Marks.

  One after another...

  Even if he occasionally fails, Li Yuan will quickly adjust again.

  The life star is the essence of life. Along with the perfect stellar pulse, a large number of life stars were branded with stardust... They quickly merged into Li Yuan's body and flesh.

  As the star pulse rotated, Li Yuan's body underwent many subtle changes in its perception of the outside world.

  Every life is just a small change, very inconspicuous.

  United we stand!

  One hundred!

  One thousand grains!

  Three thousand grains!

  When the surface of thousands of life stars was branded with star marks, Li Yuan's entire aura naturally underwent a subtle yet noticeable change.

  Finally, when Li Yuan had branded the 12,960th life star... Boom!

  Under Li Yuan's induction, the star pulse rotated, and the entire perfect star pulse surface seemed to be shrouded in a hazy yellowish light.

  Extremely dim, yet clearly visible.

  At this moment, Li Yuan only felt that his understanding of the entire world had undergone a subtle change... indescribable and inexplicable.

  "Perceive!"

  "The source of fire, the source of wood and so on have not changed... it's the source of earth! I feel more clearly now." Li Yuan was able to perceive clearly.

  In the vast universe, that thread of earth's source power brings mysterious vibrations... and the response is even clearer.

  The improvement is not extremely obvious, but this is already an incredible transformation.

  Because!!

  This transformation is like a person's spiritual power evolving from level 29 to level 30, fundamentally enhancing a person's skill cultivation efficiency.

  Although its efficacy is not as heaven-defying as spiritual transformation, it is still incredibly miraculous.

  "This is just the first step." Li Yuan's heart was filled with anticipation: "According to the message from Xing Shu, for every 12,960 life stars that are branded, the effect will be greatly enhanced."

  "Go on!"

  Li Yuan was diligently practicing, he was very patient.

  Sharpening a knife doesn't mistake chopping firewood work. What is being cultivated now is this secret skill, which lays the foundation for future technical cultivation and establishes a solid foundation.

  As for tomorrow night's virtual war final?

  Li Yuan was actually very calm in his heart.

  Even if I focus on practicing shooting now, with one day left, how much can I improve? 1%?

  It doesn't matter much.

  Why not first cultivate this star technique to its peak, perhaps there will be unexpected gains.

  ……

  Time flies.

  One by one, the life stars were branded with star marks by Li Yuan. The more he went on, the more skilled he became, and his cultivation speed accelerated. Even a single thought could brand over ten life stars with star marks.

  The 25,920th, the 38,880th... Every time a key node is reached, the entire perfect stellar pulse will be activated, its effectiveness will be increased to another level, and more mysterious changes will be produced.

  One layer after another!

  Similarly, Li Yuan's frantic cultivation of the "Earth Star Meridian True Solution" also caused the 'Earth God Crystal' in his arms to dissolve at an alarming rate.

  Finally.

  When the sun sets again, the black curtain shrouds the earth, and the time has come to 11 o'clock in the evening of February 17th.

  Very abrupt.

  "Huh?" Li Yuan suddenly felt the entire perfect stellar vein dimming down, and the originally clear and distinct life stars instantly became obscure.

  "What's wrong?" Li Yuan was taken aback.

  In an instant, Li Yuan realized that it wasn't that he couldn't continue to cultivate the Stellar Technique, but rather... the Earth God Crystal had been completely depleted.

  "This!!!"

  "Is it over?" Li Yuan's heart felt very painful.

  Because he has already branded over 80,000 life stars... and is only about one-third away from completely branding the entire star.

  This feeling is as if being pulled halfway... must pull up pants.

  Take a deep breath.

  "As Bai Shan said, he gave me a lot of Earth God Crystals, making it easy for me to cultivate my Stellar Technique to the second stage. But in reality, I consumed them all and didn't even manage to fully cultivate the first stage of Stellar Technique... let alone imprinting the second stage."

  Xing Shu can be divided into First-Order Xing Shu, Second-Order Xing Shu... all the way to the legendary Ninth-Order Xing Shu. The Ninth-Order Xing Shu is also known as the Omnipotent Xing Shu.

  Like Dongfang Xian's cultivated 'Wanjing Shen Ti' is the Seven Star Technique.

  Similarly, as Li Yuan knew, the two star techniques cultivated by that Flying Sky-level assassin 'Dark Shadow' should both be Quadruple Star Techniques.

  It's just extremely rare.

  At the same time, all Xingfa, whether it is a one-star Xingfa or a nine-star Xingfa, are divided into first-class, second-class, third-class... according to the depth of practice.

  "Me too."

  "According to Bai Shan's meaning, I should cultivate the 'Great Earth Star Vein True Explanation' with a double or triple star pulse." Li Yuan secretly thought: "In that case, even if I cultivate it to the second stage, it will only be equivalent to branding 30,000 to 40,000 life stars twice."

  But in fact? Liyuan has a whole perfect star pulse that needs to be branded.

  "It's no use, I can only think of another way." Li Yuan shook his head secretly.

  Can't just go find Bai Shan Xing Zhu or Fang Hai and tell them that the Earth God Crystal is used up... at least have to wait for Cheng Yuan Wu Zhe.

  Subconsciously, Li Yuan glanced at the Shen Gong panel.

  Li Yuan suddenly froze, his pupils shrinking: "How is that possible! Nine-layered Star Technique? This!!"

  "As Bai Shan said earlier, doesn't the 'True Explanation of the Great Earth Star Pulse' not have a specific rank?" Li Yuan's heart was already stirred up with shock and astonishment.

  As a result of this night's astrological training, his divine palace panel underwent special changes:

  ……

  Life Rank: 19.7 (First Order)

  Punching force: 64,100 kg

  Speed: 111.1 m/s

  Spiritual Power: 30.4 level

  Willpower: Level 32

  Spiritual Awakening Degree: 37.9% (Current Upper Limit 40%)

  Xīng Mài: 11th level (Cultivation Efficiency 10 + 0.5)

  Mastery Boundary: Gun Technique (5th stage 33%), Body Technique (5th stage 33%), Fist Technique (Perfection)

  Stellar Magic: Ninefold Stellar Magic 《True Earth Pulse》 (Level 1-6/6)

  When spiritual awakening reaches 50%, 75%, 100%, and 125%, you will receive further spiritual guidance.

  ……

  "What Bai Shan Xing Zhu gave me is a Nine-Fold Star Technique? The strongest star technique?" Li Yuan's mind was momentarily dizzy.

  This is something he never dared to think of.

  After all, this is a star technique that Bái Shān Xīng Zhǔ seems to have taken out unintentionally, so it shouldn't be very precious.

  However, if others say that "The True Explanation of the Great Earth Star Pulse" is a Nine-Step Stellar Technique, Li Yuan might not believe it.

  But now these things have been pointed out.

  It's a shrine maiden panel!!

  "The spiritual palace, without exception, has proven its magic and terror, whether it's the method of visualization or the entry of yuanli, spiritual guidance, or exploration of the divine palace...". Li Yuan's mind flashed with many thoughts: "The panel of the divine palace, possessing an unimaginable exploratory function."

  "I cultivate the 'True Explanation of the Grand Earth Star Pulse', and I'm probably always under its surveillance."

  "Bai Shan Xing Zhu can't tell the specific rank of this star technique, but that doesn't mean the Shen Gong panel is useless." Li Yuan said to himself.

  It's been so long.

  Li Yuan had long been convinced that the mystical power of the Spiritual Temple was probably far beyond the cognitive understanding of the higher levels of human civilization in the Seven Stars... Its strength was unquestionable.

  "Ninefold Stellar Technique?" Li Yuan's heart was trembling.

  It is known that for hundreds of years, the Seven Star Human Civilization has been waging wars in various star realms and has only obtained a few incomplete Nine-Star Techniques... but so far, no one has been able to cultivate the Nine-Star Technique, it can only be put on a high shelf.

  "Not true."

  "Bai Shan Xing Zhu can help me cultivate the 'Da Di Xing Mai Zhen Jie', before that, it will definitely also help some flying warriors and even half-god cultivators..."

  "Even if this star technique is incomplete, with only the first two stages of star mark cultivation method, it can cultivate up to the second stage at most."

  "But as a Ninefold Star Technique, once cultivated to the second stage, its power should be comparable to ordinary star techniques cultivated to the third or even fourth stage." Li Yuan felt puzzled.

  There is a reason why it can be called the strongest star technique.

  In President Fang Hai's words.

  In some powerful and exotic civilizations, the most heaven-defying flying heaven-level strongmen, when they cast the Nine-Star Technique, even if they haven't cultivated it to a high level... The terror of their power is also crushing many demigods who cast the Five-Star Technique.

  This is also one of the reasons why Feitian Ji was able to kill a demigod, being an exceptionally talented and powerful individual.

  But why can't Bai Shan Xing Zhu and others find it?

  "There is only one possibility."

  Li Yuan's eyes shone with a hint of light: "This 'True Explanation of the Earth Star Pulse' is indeed a nine-level star technique, but its entry difficulty is extremely low. Even with three-level or four-level star pulse cultivation, it can still exert some effect."

  "It's just that the effect is not so obvious."

  "Only by cultivating with the Ninefold Stellar Pulse, and branding over 116,640 life stars... can this star technique thoroughly burst forth with its due radiance." A bold conjecture arose in Li Yuan's mind.

  This speculation also verifies what Baisan Xingzhu said: 'The stronger the star pulse, the more powerful the star technique will be.'

  In short.

  According to Li Yuan's speculation.

  "It must be cultivated to the 9th rank of the first stage, or cultivated to the 9th rank of the second stage, in order to truly unleash its power as the strongest star technique." A hint of longing arose in Li Yuan's heart.

  ……

  Under the night sky, in the underground martial arts room of Li Yuan's villa.

  As if it were broad daylight.

  "Others come to cultivate the 'True Explanation of the Earth Star Pulse', cultivating up to 1st rank 3rd level, 1st rank 4th level, and they will reach their limit and enter the 2nd rank." Li Yuan secretly shook his head: "But I have to cultivate up to 1st rank 9th level, no! Maybe it's even 1st rank 10th level."

  "To perfect the first stage of Stellar Arts, one must transcend to the second stage."

  Of course, the effect will be much greater.

  "I want to continue cultivating."

  "We'll need even more Earth God Crystals." Li Yuan shook his head secretly: "Wait until I cultivate to the first stage of perfection, then proceed with the second stage cultivation, the required amount of Earth God Crystals will only increase... it's simply impossible to obtain."

  Can only put it down temporarily.

  Never mind if there's no way to say it directly, what's the point even if they did? Bai Shan and Fang Hai, even if they believed it, would they necessarily be able to bring out more Earth God Crystals?

  This is a fourth-grade treasure!

  Not some big white cabbage by the side of the road.

  ……

  Consume all of the Earth God Crystal.

  Li Yuan felt more at ease in his heart and stopped thinking about it anymore.

  The next four hours.

  Li Yuan once again practiced his meditation technique and "The Stellar Bodies of the Cosmos", calming his mind completely.

  Time has arrived at 4:00 AM on February 18th.

  "Xīng shù zàn shí méi fǎ yuán mǎn, jiù liú dài hòu miàn zài shuō ba, děng chéng yuán wǔ zhě, qù le fēi xīng…… zì rán yǒu xǔ duō bàn fǎ de." Xiū liàn le guān xiǎng fǎ, Lǐ Yuán zhǐ jué shén qīng qì shuǎng.

  He picked up the Black Dawn gun from a nearby weapon rack.

  "Wow!"

  Li Yuan resumed his practice of the Starlight Spear Technique.

  One move and one style kept changing, making the long gun's speed faster and more rapid.

  Gunfire is continuous, gun muzzles dance like a flowing river of stars, powerful and majestic, never-ending.

  Very smooth.

  "After cultivating the 'True Explanation of the Grand Earth Meridian' to level 6, I indeed felt a significant improvement in my connection with heaven and earth." Li Yuan's eyes lit up, he had never felt his gun techniques improve so smoothly before.

  This star technique that enhances skill training efficiency... is quite mysterious and unpredictable, making it difficult to have an intuitive feel for it.

  One must cultivate personally in order to feel the difference.

  "Virtual War Finals, only 16 hours left."

  "Nevsky, Yin Man and Hamon are all possible five-stage intermediate skills."

  "At least Nevsky has proved it."

  "If I want to win, relying solely on offense is very difficult to win." Li Yuan still remembers his match against Hofmann.

  The intention of the stars is good at defense but not good at offense.

  When facing an opponent who is far weaker than oneself, it's only natural.

  But when competing with a similarly skilled opponent, once they counterattack, it's extremely easy to lose the match.

  "Protect it."

  "As long as I can hold on, there's also a chance to win the championship first." Li Yuan devoted himself to practicing his marksmanship: "I'd like to see who can break through my defensive shooting skills."

  Wow! Wow!

  The more Li Yuan cultivates, the smoother his heart becomes.

  He gradually immersed his entire spiritual consciousness, merging with the gun technique, to the point where he seemed to merge with the universe itself. Every shot was a gradual unfolding of the most fundamental and mysterious wave in the universe, seeking to reach the strongest level of power.

  In the midst of gunfire bursting out, even truly starting to stir up a bit of heavenly might.

  Gradually, Li Yuan even entered a state of selflessness, completely merging with his marksmanship.

  Silent and unnoticeable.

  "【Your marksmanship boundary has been upgraded from 5-star 33% to 5-star 34%】" A divine palace prompt flashed by.

  But Li Yuan did not notice and continued to cultivate in secret.

  The sun rises and sets.

  Li Yuan has been practicing for more than 10 hours.

  Before I knew it, it was already the afternoon of the second day.

  With Li Yuan's current physical condition, he can maintain such high-intensity cultivation for over a dozen hours.

  After all, it's not a life-or-death struggle, just pure shooting practice, and I won't pursue the extreme explosion of physical strength.

  Suddenly.

  "Boom!"

  "Boom!"

  Li Yuan, who had been practicing for over ten hours, seemed to have reached a state of perfect harmony, his long spear in hand roaring like a mighty dragon, as if the stars and rivers were reversing their course, leaving behind a trail of dazzling light, like a massive vortex bursting forth with an astonishing power of suction.

  As if a huge barrier, enough to absorb and block all attacks from the front.

  Splash!

  A terrifyingly brilliant light enveloped Li Yuan completely, and at this moment, no matter what kind of attack it was, as long as it entered this range, it would be absorbed and then crushed by the countless gun lights that made up the starlight.

  A long time!

  The ripple effect subsided, and the entire martial arts hall finally calmed down completely.

  "This! This! In just one night, I've unconsciously created such a defensive move?" Li Yuan was thoroughly awakened and exclaimed in surprise: "Wei's abilities are truly great."

  "Gun law!"

  "Whether it's the Arms or the Source Force, they're just the foundation. To fully utilize these powers, one needs to have an extremely high level of skill." Li Yuan's eyes shone with excitement.

  He had finally created a true third-level gun technique.

  That's right.

  Xing Fa is important, the number of Xing Mai is important... but these aspects are still strong, a Yuan Wu practitioner facing a Demigod can be killed in one move.

  How to become a demigod? First of all, it's necessary to have skills high enough!

  Like star veins awakening, physical quality, spiritual power and so on, all can be made up by external objects... Only the realm of skills, only rely on oneself to enlighten.

  Just like becoming a flying warrior, even if you awaken the Seven Star Pulse or Eight Star Pulse... without mastering the Five Elemental Techniques, you still can't become a flying warrior.

  The skill level is high enough, and it will also make the strength extremely terrifying.

  Like Principal Fang Hai, that drop of rain on his fingertips.

  It is the scene that leaves the deepest impression on Li Yuan.

  A simple and direct blow, annihilating a Flying Heaven-level combatant.

  "My skills are improving too quickly."

  "Half a month ago, I just entered the fifth stage of skill."

  "A month ago, I just transformed into a Flying Heaven-level soul...I didn't have much time to integrate my understanding." Li Yuan's heart was quite excited: "In terms of technical standards, I am already very high, but I have never been able to thoroughly create a core killing move that belongs to me."

  Before fighting Hoffmann, Li Yuan had been using the Stellar Gun Technique.

  Ultimately defeated the opponent, relying on the absolutely powerful 'Star River Intention'.

  But no matter how high your skills are, you need to use techniques to bring them into play.

  The three-tiered secret book "Starlight Intention" only contains the multiple meanings of the true intention of the stars, step by step guiding later generations to appreciate the meaning... but there is no specific killing move.

  The best shooting technique is one you create yourself.

  Martial arts cultivation, the more you comprehend the natural world, the harder it gets. Everyone's path is unique and even if some predecessors created secret manuals that worked for them, they may not necessarily be suitable for those who come later.

  Therefore, like the numerous 'artisanal secrets' in human Seven Star Civilization, the higher the level, the more vague the guidance is, only pointing out the general direction and tending to let later generations create.

  What is created by oneself is the strongest.

  What is created by oneself is truly under one's own control.

  ……

  "Keep trying."

  Having created this killing move, Li Yuan was very calm and after a short rest, he continued to cultivate with all his might.

  "Wow! Wow!"

  The long gun was like a dragon, with Li Yuan as the core, suddenly bursting out, the tip of the gun tearing through the air like a river of stars, just like a brilliant galaxy, countless stars revolving around the center.

  These starlights converge at the center.

  As if a massive whirlpool had formed, creating the most astonishing twisting and absorbing power, enough to neutralize some extremely terrifying killing moves.

  "This killer move has raised my gun defense by a big margin, it's more than twice as strong as when I previously used 'Starry Sky Awakening'." Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile.

  Before, like Hoffman attacking himself, there was no hope of victory at all.

  How about now?

  Even if he faced the 'Nevsky' that easily defeated Ding Tai Feng, Li Yuan still had confidence in withstanding his opponent's terrifying blade light.

  "This move."

  "Let's call it 'Stellar River Whirl'." Li Yuan decided on a name for his self-created finishing move.

  His gaze fell on one of the panels of the Temple Palace:

  Mastery Boundary: Gun Technique (5th Dan 36%), Body Technique (5th Dan 36%), Fist Technique (Perfection)

  ……

  One night, shooting skills increased by 3%.

  To know, this is five-section gun law.

  "It's able to improve so much, it must be because of my creation of the defensive killing move." Li Yuan thought to himself: "However, being able to let me fuse countless past insights in one night and create a five-segment gun technique killing move... 'The True Explanation of the Earth Star Pulse' is truly inconceivable."

  This auxiliary star technique doesn't seem to be very effective at first.

  But accumulated day by day and month by month.

  The role it plays is difficult to quantify.

  "With a clear sense of the current operation of heaven and earth." Li Yuan silently thought to himself, "I'm afraid it won't take too long before I reach the extreme limit of the fifth stage of the middle rank."

  Flying Soul Level!

  "Earth Star Pulse True Explanation" 6th rank!

  Li Yuan's foundation in cultivating his skills was far more efficient than other geniuses.

  ……

  Li Yuan's experience over the past two days has been nothing short of bizarre.

  For martial arts university students all over the blue planet...the most anticipated event of the year, the final round of the 'Global High School Martial Arts Competition'.

  Arrival is imminent.

  February 18th, today's top 20 will be decided in sequence, the top ten, the top five, and finally the champion!!

  "Dantai Feng, Zhu Tong, Hoffman, Jin Huguo... All the players who emerged from the knockout tournament are five-dan masters."

  "Adding the previous Li Yuan, Yin Man, Nie Fenshi and other ten first-line battlefield."

  "There are twenty fifth-dan masters!! It's truly crazy!!"

  "As long as they don't fall in the future, almost all of them will become flying warriors."

  "Who will take the championship?"

  "I'm watching you, Yin Man."

  I think it's Li Yuan.

  "I'm watching Nevsky."

  "Our Sakura Country's 'Hundred Rivers Roar' is the strongest, and will definitely take first place."

  "Haha, among the top 20, our Xia country occupies six spots, and who knows, maybe we'll even sweep the top three." Amidst countless heated discussions.

  It's getting close to eight o'clock in the evening.

  The Virtual War Finals is about to begin!!
