Chapter 125: Shockwaves Across the Globe
Chapter 125: Shockwaves Across the Globe
Dong Fang Ji, the strongest human in the Immortal Ruin Civilization, spent most of his time in the distant Flying Sky after establishing the Starfire Martial Temple.
However, he also attached great importance to his homeland, the Xia Nation.
For instance, the Blue Star Headquarters of the Starfire Martial Temple was located in the Xia Nation.
Similarly, the Starfire University, situated in the northern capital city of the Xia Nation, was also part of this nation.
Starfire University had a much larger scale than Kunlun Martial University, as it only admitted fewer than 400 students annually and recruited students globally.
The entire university had less than 2,000 students in total.
Each student, when compared to the top five universities in the Xia Nation, was considered top-notch.
Even slightly exceptional students would be like a force from another dimension.
Night fell, and in one of the student villas...
"Huff!"
Tian Dazhuang exited the virtual network pod and stepped out onto the balcony, where he took in the cold breeze.
"Too strong."
"Li Yuan's gun techniques are terrifyingly fast; it's hard to believe he just reached the edge of the Fourth Stage High Rank."
Tian Dazhuang closed his eyes, recalling the virtual network battle he had just fought, "The gap between us is immense."
Tian Dazhuang wouldn't have minded losing to a cultivator who had trained for decades.
But losing to someone of the same age whose skills were once inferior to his own was a different matter.
To say that Tian Dazhuang wasn't the least bit affected would be a lie.
"In our battle, he completely controlled the entire arena with an unbelievable calmness. His combat awareness is simply incomprehensible." Tian Dazhuang shook his head.
He believed himself to be calm, but there would still be slight emotional fluctuations.
However, when facing Li Yuan, it was all rationality and composure.
From start to finish, Li Yuan made not a single mistake.
When he saw that I had broken through, he let me take the lead until my breakthrough was complete. Then, like a thunderbolt, he swept me aside.
"He must have entered the Fourth Stage High Rank at least half a month ago," Tian Dazhuang sighed inwardly. "His cultivation speed is outrageous; I wonder how he cultivates so quickly."
"Even Dantai Feng, Gong Mi, and Salvatore, the top three in Jiangbei Province, wouldn't cultivate this fast."
In Jiangbei Province, Tian Dazhuang was considered a top genius, and his skills were unmatched by almost everyone.
During the Jiangbei Invitation event, the current Li Yuan, Wang Yu, and even Wu Dongdong were clearly far behind him.
Upon arriving at Starfire University, his skills, though barely making the top ten in his year, couldn't be considered the very best.
Dantai Feng, Gong Mi, and Salvatore were already at the Fourth Stage High Rank in their skills when they first enrolled, making them the most outstanding martial geniuses globally.
Moreover, they all had Entry-Stage physical qualities.
"Interesting."
"In terms of skills alone, Li Yuan probably wouldn't even make the top ten among first-year students worldwide." Tian Dazhuang revealed a mysterious smile, "But with his rate of improvement... he might surprise many in next year's Global University Martial Arts Tournament."
"Wow! Our Jiangbei Province is indeed a talent-producing region."
"Indeed."
"I should also thank him; without his help, I wouldn't have entered the Fourth Stage High Rank." Tian Dazhuang felt no jealousy towards Li Yuan.
Instead, he admired Li Yuan.
In his eyes, Li Yuan's family background was better than his, but they weren't part of the elite or the super-rich.
To rise step by step, Li Yuan must have endured many hardships.
"If Li Yuan is so formidable..."
"I can't afford to fall behind."
"I'll continue cultivating my saber techniques to solidify my realm." Tian Dazhuang adjusted his mindset and headed to the underground martial arts room to continue practicing his saber skills.
...
In the virtual network, within the Starfield Combat Network...
"Victory!"
Li Yuan returned to his personal space, feeling a bit sentimental, "If I hadn't broken through yesterday, winning would have been extremely difficult."
There were eighteen Stonemar Tribe warriors, each with physical qualities rivaling his own, and all of them were at the initial stage of the Fourth Stage.
The difficulty was too high.
Any one of them, facing Li Yuan alone, would have been defeated within a few exchanges.
But with over a dozen of them working together, their strength multiplied, and they could rescue each other. Li Yuan, relying on his agile movements, fought a protracted battle before finding opportunities to defeat them one by one.
"Mirror," Li Yuan thought.
Whoosh! A mirror appeared before him, reflecting Li Yuan with a shining crescent moon above his head.
It was dazzling.
The symbol of the Bright Moon Rank.
"In the virtual network, many famous top broadcasters are at my level," Li Yuan muttered to himself. "If I started streaming, showcasing my Bright Moon Rank as a minor, it might be quite a sensation."
It would likely become very popular.
However, Li Yuan only thought about it; such distractions could significantly impact his cultivation.
Most of these top broadcasters at the Bright Moon Rank were Origin Warriors struggling to improve their strength.
Of course, they also gained fame and earned a substantial income.
"Congratulations, Master, on achieving the Bright Moon Rank," the fairy-like girl circled around Li Yuan, excitedly saying, "You're now ranked 5th in the Xia Nation and on the Blue Star Prodigy List."
"The fairy girl spoke."
"Global 17th, 5th in Xia Nation?" Li Yuan revealed a mysterious smile.
"My country, truly the world's strongest, has produced countless Martial Geniuses."
"One step at a time."
"Last September, I first appeared on the Blue Star Youth Ranking, and within less than a year, I've soared to Global 17th."
Li Yuan was already very satisfied with this achievement.
"I estimate that the top 16 are all from the world's top three elite universities," Li Yuan thought to himself.
Among his peers, there were still 16 others he needed to surpass.
"Master, the 20 million Blue Star Coin reward from the Starfield Combat Network will be credited to your account tomorrow," the fairy girl smiled.
"Good."
...
After achieving the Bright Moon Rank, Li Yuan didn't continue his battles on the Starfield Combat Network but instead logged out of the virtual network.
He had a quick bite to eat.
It was already past midnight.
"It's past midnight, time to practice the Observation Method," Li Yuan glanced at the time, "Time to begin a new day of cultivation."
Ordinary Martial Arts University students usually started their cultivation at 6 or even 7 in the morning and finished by 10 in the evening, rarely going past 11.
But Li Yuan's cultivation schedule was different.
He cultivated from midnight to midnight the next day.
The key was 'perseverance'.
...
In the depths of the night, at the Starlight Martial Hall in Jiangcheng City.
Inside a villa, Fei Qian, who was in a deep sleep, was suddenly awakened by the ringing of his smart wristband.
There was an important message.
As a 29th Rank Origin Warrior, his mental state was excellent, and he was only in a light sleep.
"Hmm?" Fei Qian instantly became alert and sat up.
He picked up his smart wristband, which was lying nearby, and clicked on the screen. A holographic projection appeared, displaying a file that wasn't particularly long but contained astonishing news.
"Li Yuan..."
"Fourth Stage High Rank? Bright Moon Rank?" Fei Qian was shocked beyond words.
Whatever sleepiness he had left completely vanished.
"This!"
For a moment, Fei Qian struggled to describe his feelings. He had always paid close attention to Li Yuan and considered him very important.
But he never expected that in just one month at Kunlun Martial University, Li Yuan's strength would improve so significantly.
"Wasn't it just in April that he reached 300 points in the Meteor Rank?" Fei Qian had a good memory.
"A monster indeed."
"Yes, and he's not even 18 years old yet?"
"In all of Xia Nation, he's the first case this year, right?" Fei Qian focused on the critical points in the file.
"Jiangcheng City hasn't seen a Martial Genius like this in decades, has it?"
As he pondered, Fei Qian's gaze fell on the last line of the file: "This information is only for the City Hall Lord and above, and it must not be leaked."
For an unparalleled genius, the Human Alliance maintained a relatively tight-lipped policy, minimizing information leaks as much as possible.
After a moment's thought, Fei Qian quickly dialed Wan Qinghe's video communication number, and the call was promptly answered.
"Elder Fei, what's the matter so late?" Wan Qinghe asked in a deep voice.
"It's nothing."
"Just a small matter." Fei Qian's voice was calm. "Prepare to transfer Li Yuan's younger brother and sister to the Martial Hall's affiliated middle school, especially his brother, and give him priority cultivation."
"Also..."
"Raise the security level for his family by one more rank, and ensure their safety at all costs," Fei Qian instructed directly.
Wan Qinghe, still groggy from sleep, was a bit dazed.
"Do you understand?" Fei Qian's voice carried a hint of displeasure.
"Yes, I understand!" Wan Qinghe snapped to attention. "Elder Fei, rest assured, I guarantee the task will be completed."
...
At Kunlun Martial University, the Black Dragon Building was brightly lit.
On the ninth floor.
"Hmm?" Li Yang, who had been looking at a list with a gloomy expression, suddenly felt his smart wristband vibrate and instinctively glanced at it.
Upon seeing the message, Li Yang's face turned pale: "How is this possible?"
"What's wrong?" Xu Yuanzhang, sitting not far away, turned to look at Li Yang. "Did another incident occur at one of the observation posts in the Kunlun Star Realm?"
"No," Li Yang shook his head. "I just received a message from the observer in Xia Nation regarding the Starfield Combat Network."
"Li Yuan has just achieved the Bright Moon Rank," Li Yang said solemnly to Xu Yuanzhang.
"Bright Moon Rank? Li Yuan?"
Xu Yuanzhang was initially puzzled but quickly realized the significance, and her face showed surprise. "Fourth Stage High Rank? The first-year student Li Yuan?"
"Yes," Li Yang nodded heavily. "And he's not even 18 years old."
"He's the first case in Xia Nation this year."
Xu Yuanzhang was even more astonished.
She hadn't paid much attention to Li Yuan's age before.
Suddenly, Xu Yuanzhang, who rarely smiled, showed a hint of a smile. "Amidst all the bad news, we finally have some good news. I believe that when Hai Yuanzhang returns tomorrow, he will also be very happy."
"Yes, tomorrow when Hai Yuanzhang returns, he should meet with Li Yuan."
