Chapter 167: The Arrival of the Flying Vehicle
Chapter 167: The Arrival of the Flying Vehicle
During the Ten Schools New Student Battle, when Li Yuan lost to Dantu Feng, he did not feel anxious and accepted the defeat gracefully.
However, accepting defeat did not mean conceding.
Li Yuan's heart was also unwilling to admit defeat, and he firmly believed that he would surpass his opponent in the future.
Now, he had achieved it.
"But to truly have a decisive battle, we'll have to wait for the Global University Martial Arts Competition's virtual battle at the end of February." Li Yuan thought to himself, feeling somewhat excited.
Just as he was deep in thought.
"Li Yuan, in recognition of your achievements, the Seven Stars Alliance will reward you with '50 million' Azure Star coins." The white-robed woman smiled and said, "This is the highest and final reward from the Starlit Combat Network."
"50 million Azure Star coins?" Li Yuan was slightly surprised.
That's quite a lot.
"Do all those who reach the Extraordinary Rank get this?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.
"If you reach the Extraordinary Rank before the age of 20, you'll receive a reward of 50 million Azure Star coins." The white-robed woman explained, "If you reach it after the age of 20, the reward will be 20 million Azure Star coins."
"Those who can reach the Extraordinary Rank in reality have the potential to become top-tier Essence Warriors, and they will be crucial combat power for human civilization." The white-robed woman elaborated, "They are destined to not lack money."
"This reward is more of an honorary encouragement." The white-robed woman smiled.
Li Yuan nodded slightly, grumbling to himself.
Not lacking money? I'm in dire need of money.
"Oh, right." Li Yuan suddenly spoke up, "There's something I'd like to ask."
"Go ahead." The white-robed woman said.
"In the entire Seven Stars Alliance, are there any other freshmen besides me who have reached the Fifth Rank in skill?" Li Yuan asked curiously.
"The entire Alliance?" The white-robed woman revealed a mysterious smile, "This is confidential information, and I shouldn't be disclosing it to you."
"I can only tell you this."
"Yes, there are!"
...
After concluding their conversation, Li Yuan directly left the Starlit Combat Network and returned to his 'Personal Space' in the virtual network.
"The first in Azure Star?"
"I didn't expect that among the freshmen in the Seven Stars Alliance, there's another Fifth Rank practitioner besides me." Li Yuan sighed to himself, feeling it wasn't too surprising.
Back then, Fang Hai had already achieved the Fifth Rank in skill at the age of 16, let alone at 18 or 19.
But Li Yuan wouldn't underestimate himself.
Among the Seven Stars Alliance's seven major planets, Azure Star wasn't the strongest, but it had never been the weakest either.
Even among the freshmen of other planets, those who had reached the Fifth Rank wouldn't be many.
"One step at a time..."
"Now, looking at the entire young generation of human civilization, I should be considered in the first echelon." Li Yuan's heart was filled with anticipation, "As long as I keep moving forward and constantly surpass myself."
"Sooner or later, I will surpass all opponents and become the number one genius of human civilization."
As he was deep in thought.
Suddenly.
Li Yuan received a notification that his bank account had received 50 million Azure Star coins.
"That was fast."
"No wonder it's a direct reward from the Seven Stars Alliance." Li Yuan muttered to himself, "It's said that the Seven Stars Alliance is jointly led by the three major Martial Halls, and the Flying Star and numerous Star Realms are directly managed by the Alliance, possessing endless wealth."
Why is the Seven Stars Alliance able to suppress all countries?
It's because they surpass any single country in terms of military, economic, and martial power, naturally enabling them to unite the strength of the entire human civilization.
"My wealth." Li Yuan clicked on the light screen to check his wealth column:
Bank Balance: 14,561,000 Azure Star coins
Martial Hall Points: 2,218,000
Heavenly Treasures: 15 units of Hundred Marrow Spirit Wood, 15 units of Star Dust Earth Marrow Crystal
...
"From October until now, I've mainly spent Martial Hall points to purchase a large quantity of high-quality Primordial Energy Springs for cultivation." Li Yuan thought to himself, "For my cultivation."
In fact, after Li Yuan's awakening of the Star Vessel and his ability to cultivate the 'Various Heavens Stars' technique, the effect of using high-quality Primordial Energy Springs for cultivation on his physical qualities had become very weak.
The improvement was less than 10%.
Now that he had achieved Heaven-Earth Unity, the benefits of using high-quality Primordial Energy Springs in conjunction with Hundred Marrow Spirit Wood would further diminish.
However, after careful consideration, Li Yuan still decided to stick to his original plan, mainly because he didn't want to reveal the secret that he had awakened the 'Star Vessel' at the First Rank.
"No rush."
"Now that I've achieved Heaven-Earth Unity and with the help of the 'Various Heavens Stars' technique, I'm confident that I'll become an Essence Warrior before the end of my freshman year." Li Yuan thought, "I'm about to venture into the Mingxu Star Realm, where I'll face life-and-death trials, striving to increase my Spirit Awakening Level to 30%."
Once the Spirit Awakening Level reaches 30%.
Following the previous convention, there should be another infusion of Source Energy.
If he receives another Source Energy infusion, Li Yuan's physical qualities and Spirit Power will surge even further, and he will be very close to becoming an Essence Warrior.
"I wonder what the Mingxu Star Realm will be like." Li Yuan's eyes flashed with determination.
...
At Starfire University, in a student villa.
Outside on the grass, the sun was rising.
"Fleeting Light."
"According to my teacher, if I want to enter the second level of the 'Fleeting Light' intent realm, I must comprehend the second level of the 'Fleeting Light' technique." Dantu Feng stood on the grass, deep in thought.
"But how do I comprehend it?"
"Heaven-Earth Unity, merging with the heavens and earth, is no easy feat." Dantu Feng shook his head, feeling troubled.
He had been stuck at the Mind's Eye stage for some time but had yet to break through.
Starfire University had been paying a lot of attention to him.
His cultivation conditions were no less than Li Yuan's, and perhaps even better.
However, having a good external environment only increases the probability of a breakthrough, it doesn't guarantee one.
Suddenly.
Ding~ Dantu Feng's smart ring vibrated, indicating an important message, and he instinctively looked down.
"Star Lord's Order, classified information, for your eyes only: Li Yuan has just broken through to the Extraordinary Rank on Starlit Combat Network, and it's confirmed that he has achieved Heaven-Earth Unity." Dantu Feng stared at the message, his entire being frozen in shock.
Heaven-Earth Unity?
Li Yuan?
He remembered the powerful opponent who had broken through during the Ten Schools New Student Battle.
After a while, Dantu Feng muttered in a daze, "This guy, I guessed he might surpass me first, but I never thought it would be so soon."
"Damn it!!"
"I haven't even warmed up the top global spot, and now I can't show off in front of him." Dantu Feng grumbled, then grinned, "Hehe, anyway, I won last time."
He directly turned off his smart ring.
And continued to ponder over his knife technique.
To say that Dantu Feng was completely unaffected would be a lie, but he had an incredibly broad mind and didn't care much about being surpassed.
He loved to show off in front of others.
But he was more focused on his own strength.
...
Boom! A massive flying vehicle slowly descended at Jiang City's 'Tianhe Airport'.
Lihang, who was sitting in a chair, was about to get up and leave the vehicle when his smart ring suddenly vibrated.
He looked down and froze.
"What's wrong?" Dean Xu stood up and looked at Lihang.
"We can tell you now why we're here." Lihang raised his head, his face filled with a smile, "Li Yuan has just reached the Extraordinary Rank, and it's confirmed that he has entered the realm of Heaven-Earth Unity."
"Fifth Rank Heaven-Earth Unity?" Dean Xu's pupils constricted slightly in disbelief.
She immediately understood the purpose of their visit to Jiang City.
"Let's go."
"Since we're here, let's go see Kunlun Martial University's first genius in fifty years." Lihang smiled and stepped out of the vehicle.
...
At noon, Li Yuan's family had just finished lunch, and Li Yuan was about to accompany his uncle fishing.
Suddenly, a flying vehicle quickly descended from the high sky above the villa.
When it was about thirty meters above the ground.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Three figures leaped out of the vehicle and gently landed on the grass outside the villa.
This scene.
Startled Li Changzhou, Aunt Chen Hui, and the others. Jumping down from thirty meters?
Not a single hair out of place, what kind of strength was this?
"Teacher, Dean Xu, and Master Fei?" Li Yuan looked at the unexpected visitors in shock.
He instantly guessed that it might be related to his achievement of the Extraordinary Rank on Starlit Combat Network.
However.
It was one thing for Master Fei to come, but why did Dean Li and Dean Xu arrive so quickly?
"Master Fei, Li Changzhou, and Aunt Chen Hui don't know you, but they do know Master Fei."
Moreover, judging by the order of their arrival.
As the City Lord of Jiang City, 'Fei Qian', his status seemed to be slightly lower than theirs?
"Li Yuan." Dean Li strode forward.
"Teacher, Dean Xu, and Master Fei." Li Yuan bowed slightly in greeting.
"Haha, Li Yuan, don't mind me. Today, Dean Li and Dean Xu are the main visitors, I'm just accompanying them." Master Fei chuckled.
In terms of authority, as the City Lord of the provincial capital, he seemed to outrank Dean Li and Dean Xu.
But at their level of strength, they valued personal strength over secular power.
Whether it was Dean Li or Dean Xu, their strength far surpassed Master Fei.
"Li Yuan, let's find a quiet place to talk." Dean Li smiled.
"Okay." Li Yuan nodded, "This way, Teacher."
"You two must be Li Yuan's uncle and aunt." Dean Xu smiled at Li Changzhou and Chen Hui, "You've raised a good child."
"Greetings, Senior." Li Changzhou and Chen Hui were both surprised, realizing that the visitors held a very high status.
Normally, people of their status would rarely have the chance to meet these visitors.
But now, the visitors were being so amicable, undoubtedly because of Li Yuan.
...
Li Yuan led Dean Li to the underground martial arts room.
"Turn on the soundproofing." Dean Li instructed.
"Yes, Teacher." Li Yuan nodded, feeling a chill down his spine. Why such caution?
Immediately, Li Yuan activated the soundproofing system in the martial arts room to prevent eavesdropping.
"We're already aware of the Fish Spirit Surge in Jiang City, and your performance was excellent." Dean Li said, "Your achievement of Heaven-Earth Unity has shocked the entire school's upper management."
"It's said that even the principal was startled and specifically ordered your information to be sealed."
"The principal?" Curiosity flashed through Li Yuan's mind. "Teacher, who is the principal?"
"The principal?"
"I only know his surname is Fang, but I'm not sure who he is." Dean Li shook his head, "Probably only the deans of the Eight Universities know."
Li Yuan nodded slightly, so secretive? Logically, Dean Li was already the vice-dean and could be considered part of the school's upper management, but he didn't even know the principal's name?
"The principal is a legendary figure, rumored to be the 'Star Lord' of the Seven Stars Alliance." Dean Li smiled, "In the future, you might have a chance to meet the principal."
"Star Lord?" Li Yuan was puzzled.
"Only those who surpass the Sky Soarer rank or are nearly invincible among Sky Soarers can become the Alliance's Star Lord." Dean Li explained briefly.
But it made Li Yuan understand just how terrifying the principal was.
"Okay, this isn't important."
"This time, we won't need to verify your strength." Dean Li flipped his palm and handed over a box, "I'm here on Dean Hai's orders to give you a life-saving item before you go to the Mingxu Star Realm."
