Chapter 195: Holy Ground Disciple? Martial Dao Genius? Too Weak!



"Why?" Li Yuan was taken aback.

He had just perfected the Mental Secret Technique, Shake God, and was about to unleash his power, significantly enhancing his Spirit Awakening Level.

He had even planned to help the Third Outpost Base win this battle.

"Currently, we don't have a clear understanding of the Talan Clan's situation. We don't know if they will come or how many they will send," Liu Jing said solemnly. "But if they do arrive, there will definitely be Second Rank strong ones, or even Second Rank Advanced strong ones."

Second Rank Advanced? Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

"Of course, the probability of a Second Rank Advanced is relatively low," Liu Jing explained. "Although the Talan Clan's power in the Mingxu Star Realm is stronger than ours at the Third Outpost Base, there isn't a fundamental difference... The truly formidable strong ones will not be dispatched by the Talan Clan here; it would be a waste."

"But, we must always be prepared for the worst. What if a Second Rank Advanced strong one does appear?" Liu Jing emphasized.

Li Yuan seemed deep in thought.

Liu Jing, who had been stationed at the Forward Base for decades and had extensive dealings with the Talan Clan, surely knew more than Li Yuan.

Perhaps the Talan Clan's Second Rank strong ones were all recorded in the base.

"Secondly, the further we go, the more likely it is that if our two sides engage in battle, it will be a large-scale mechanized army clash. The importance of ordinary Source Warriors will diminish rapidly," Liu Jing said, his pupils constricting slightly. "Your personal martial prowess... isn't that important, and it might even be dangerous."

Liu Jing had more to say.

The ownership of Flying Serpent Valley was important, but in his eyes, it paled in comparison to Li Yuan's significance.

Several billion Blue Star Coins? They couldn't compare to a single Flying Warrior.

In Liu Jing's heart, with Li Yuan's talent, it would be abnormal if he didn't become a Flying Warrior in the future.

"Senior," Li Yuan smiled and said, "Your words make sense, but there are two points I don't quite agree with."

"Oh? Which two?" Liu Jing was taken aback.

"First, I came to the Mingxu Star Realm to risk my life and temper myself," Li Yuan laughed. "If I didn't take these risks, I wouldn't have grown so quickly."

"So, even if you advise me to leave, I will continue to fight and kill in other directions of the Star Realm in the coming days. It will be equally dangerous and unpredictable," Li Yuan said.

Liu Jing's pupils constricted further, but he knew Li Yuan's words made sense.

Super strong ones are forged through countless life-and-death battles.

Even with high talent, without tempering and a strong will, one cannot become a strong one.

"Second," Li Yuan continued, a mysterious smile on his face, "Senior, my strength is not that of an ordinary Source Warrior."

Before he could finish.

"Boom~" A faint light suddenly flashed in Li Yuan's eyes.

Following that, an invisible mental wave burst forth from Li Yuan, like the collapse of a towering dam, releasing a torrent that instantly struck Liu Jing's spiritual consciousness.

"Boom!" It was like a heavy hammer, causing Liu Jing to be momentarily dazed and lose his focus again.

In the next moment, Liu Jing regained his composure, but his eyes were filled with shock: "This? How is this possible!"

It should be known that his spirit power was comparable to that of a top-tier Source Warrior, and he was aware that Li Yuan's spirit power had reached the Ascendant Rank... Subconsciously, he would be on guard against Li Yuan's mental attack.

Logically, he shouldn't have been affected.

But despite his vigilance, he was still affected.

"How did your mental attack become so much stronger than before?" Liu Jing couldn't help but ask.

"I've been cultivating the Mental Secret Techniques, Focus Mind and Shake God, for the past two hours, and there has been some improvement," Li Yuan smiled.

There was no need to hide this.

The Mental Secret Techniques Focus Mind and Shake God were almost public knowledge, and many Source Warriors attempted to cultivate them, but most were not successful.

"Impressive," Liu Jing thought in shock.

He understood Li Yuan's meaning. If it were an ordinary First Rank Martial Dao Genius, it would be difficult to interfere in the clash of powerful Source Warriors.

But Li Yuan was different. With his Ascendant Rank spirit power, once he unleashed his Mental Secret Techniques, he could influence even Advanced and top-tier Source Warriors, causing them to lose focus for a fleeting moment.

Perhaps only for 0.1 seconds or even less.

But in that instant, during a critical moment, the battle could be turned around.

"Senior, do I have the qualifications to participate in the battle?" Li Yuan asked with a smile.

Liu Jing fell silent for a moment, then sighed, "If I say you're not qualified, I'd be lying to myself."

"However, I must state two conditions."

"First, if you encounter an insurmountable danger and I order you to retreat, you must do so without hesitation." Liu Jing said, "Second, when the mechanized army arrives, you must leave... In a large-scale battle, there's no room for individual growth."

"Okay." Li Yuan nodded.

After all, he was free to decide when to stay or leave, and no one could truly restrict him.

...Li Yuan and Liu Jing patiently waited at their original location, and not long after.

A figure in blue robes shot in from a distant river, moving at a remarkable speed that Li Yuan detected from a distance.

With his powerful spirit power, Li Yuan's perception of the surrounding environment became even sharper.

"Target organism, Life Tier 23," Li Yuan immediately scanned with Divine Palace Scanning.

Since his spirit power had reached Level 20, the cost of using Divine Palace Scanning had decreased significantly.

Now that his soul had reached the Ascendant Rank, his scanning ability had an even more negligible impact.

"Miao Wei." Liu Jing realized this a little late, and his voice reverberated through the air, "Over here."

Whoosh! The purple-clad woman quickly approached, leaping several times before reaching the cliffside cave.

"Senior Liu."

Miao Wei was pleasantly surprised, "Is your injury truly completely healed?"

"Yes, thanks to Xu An's spirit herb. Not only did the injury disappear, but even my hidden injuries have recovered, and my skills have even broken through." Liu Jing smiled, "He's my great benefactor."

"Xu An." Only then did Miao Wei turn to Li Yuan. She had seen his previous battle video at Observation Point 19 and knew he was a martial arts genius.

But subconsciously, Miao Wei didn't care much about him.

After all, even if he was a martial arts genius, what impact could he possibly have on the Mingxu Star Realm?

"Senior Miao Wei." Li Yuan nodded slightly.

"Where's the team you're leading?" Liu Jing asked.

"They're too weak, and their progress is slow. So, I came ahead on my own." Miao Wei explained, "Their heavy weapons... aren't much of a threat to Essence Warriors either."

"The Mechanized Legion is still 400 kilometers away."

Miao Wei quickly explained the situation, allowing Li Yuan to understand the determination of the Third Outpost Base.

Large-scale technological weapons were not easily used in the Mingxu Star Realm.

But when it came to fighting for important interests, they couldn't hesitate to take risks.

"Good."

"Then let's go to Flying Serpent Valley first, just the three of us." Liu Jing's killing intent surged, "If the Talan Clan sends a Second Rank expert, let's see if we can take them out first."

"Us three?" Miao Wei was taken aback and couldn't help but look at Li Yuan.

"Miao Wei, don't underestimate Xu An. In some aspects, he might be much stronger than you." Liu Jing smiled.

Miao Wei nodded lightly, but she didn't quite believe it.

Just a few days ago, she had witnessed Li Yuan's battle with two First Rank top-tier captains of the Talan Clan. Although his strength was impressive, it still fell short when compared to an Essence Warrior.

In just a few days, how much stronger could he have become? But since Liu Jing said so, she wouldn't argue.

"Let's go." Liu Jing spoke calmly, having realized Miao Wei's disbelief but knowing he couldn't explain that Li Yuan's spirit power had reached the Ascendant Rank.

Whoosh! Liu Jing leaped out of the cave, with Li Yuan and Miao Wei following closely behind.

...

The group traversed the rugged mountains and forests at a speed of approximately eighty meters per second.

This speed was like a leisurely stroll for Liu Jing and Miao Wei.

As intermediate Essence Warriors, their maximum running speed easily exceeded 200 meters per second.

"He's keeping up?" Miao Wei was surprised as she looked at Li Yuan. In her impression, Li Yuan's physical attributes were only at the 16th and 17th levels.

"Xu An's physical attributes have surpassed the 19th level. He was just hiding his strength before." Liu Jing explained calmly, "The data wasn't accurate."

"I understand." Miao Wei nodded involuntarily, thinking to herself, "19th level, with Source Power Armor and extremely high spear technique, he's comparable to a 20th-level Essence Warrior... I guess Liu Jing wants to further hone his skills."

"Alright, with this strength, he's not a burden and can play a decent role." Miao Wei believed she had seen through Liu Jing's intentions.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The three of them rushed forward at an incredible speed, getting closer and closer to Flying Serpent Valley.

...

Forty minutes later.

Flying Serpent Valley, on the mountain wall where Liu Jing had previously fought the flying serpents.

On a large boulder, the burly man Delgado and the blood-robed, eerie young man, Blood Sentinel, were quietly meditating.

Not far away, the tall and thin man, Mori, was holding an instrument, constantly moving it as if monitoring something.

"It's been so long, and we haven't seen a single Seven-Star Human," Blood Sentinel opened his eyes and frowned, "Are they afraid?"

"Maybe they suffered heavy casualties in the previous battle." Delgado said calmly, "It's better if they don't come. Have your men dispersed?"

"Yes, they have." Blood Sentinel nodded.

Originally, the three of them were monitoring separately, but with the arrival of nearly two hundred Talan Clan warriors under Blood Sentinel's command, they had reunited.

Suddenly.

"Hmm?" Delgado suddenly widened his eyes, and his entire body shot into the sky, instantly dashing out dozens of meters. "Who's there?!"

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Blood Sentinel and Mori were only half a beat slower. One of them tossed aside his instrument and instantly grabbed his spear, while his battle armor covered his entire body.

Another person also leaped into the air, drawing his battle sword from his back.

When wandering in the Star Realm, one must always remain vigilant and ready to unleash their full strength at any moment.

"Haha, Delgado, it's been a while. Your vigilance is still as high as ever." A cheerful laughter echoed from the depths of the forest.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three figures flashed through the forest, like three phantoms. Their terrifying speed caused the surrounding air to boom and set countless leaves and branches dancing.

Six people.

Three against three, separated by nearly a hundred meters of forest, they faced off against each other.

Delgado glared at Liu Jing, gritting his teeth and spitting out two words, "Liu Jing!"

Apparently.

After decades of proximity between the Seven-Star Human and Talan Clan bases, the higher-ups of both sides had a good understanding of each other's top experts.

"You old man, how dare to come here as well." Delgado's eyes turned cold. "It's a shame I didn't kill you five years ago."

He spoke in the Xia language, a little stiffly, but it was understandable.

"This time, I'll give you a chance and see if you can seize it." Liu Jing's face was filled with a smile, but his eyes were ice-cold.

Five years ago, the two major bases had clashed. That time, he had nearly died.

The hidden injury he sustained during that great battle had never fully healed.

"Not good, Delgado. I detected Liu Jing's life tier to be 25.5." Mori's expression changed as he spoke in a low voice.

"25.5?" Delgado's face twitched slightly. "Has your injury recovered?"

The Tianliang Clan's life detection device was still very advanced.

The assessment was rarely off by much.

"How could I dare to come if I hadn't recovered from my injury?" Liu Jing said calmly. "Delgado, last time, the three of you nearly killed me. This time, can you win against me alone?"

Delgado's pupils constricted slightly; he naturally knew of Liu Jing's strength.

Even when Liu Jing was injured, he wasn't sure if he could win with his superior physical attributes, let alone now that Liu Jing had fully recovered.

"Kill!"

Delgado pounced, his body instantly enveloped in battle armor, radiating a faint yellowish glow like a war god, holding a battle sword.

He roared and charged towards Liu Jing.

"Boom!" Mori also activated his Source Power Armor, his body shimmering with blue light, agile and fast, as he rushed forward.

Whoosh! The blood-robed demonic youth, Blood Sentinel, retreated like lightning, dashing into the deeper forest.

He was fleeing.

"Kill!"

"Boom!" Liu Jing's legs exploded with force, his body radiating flames, like a fiery war god, as he met Delgado in a flash.

Boom! Miao Wei's figure was exceptional, wielding twin swords, as she clashed with Mori.

Neither side exchanged many words.

Because, they had already secretly clashed before, and now they had both rushed to Flying Snake Valley so quickly, each understanding the other's intentions—to seize Flying Snake Valley.

Let the battle begin!

The stronger would prevail.

"Boom!"

"Boom~" "Rumble~" The four Source Warriors clashed in an instant, the terrifying aftermath of their collision spreading in all directions, toppling boulders and trees, leaving a scene of devastation.

In just one exchange, Liu Jing completely suppressed Delgado, each strike deadly and ferocious, forcing him to retreat step by step.

Miao Wei's twin swords danced, easily holding off the agile Mori, their battle a fierce stalemate.

However.

The four battling Source Warriors all noticed Li Yuan, who had been inconspicuous until now.

As the Source Warriors clashed, Li Yuan burst forth like lightning, charging directly towards Blood Sentinel, who had fled at the first opportunity.

"These two Tianliang Clan Second Ranks, one at 24.8 and the other at 23.7, are completely suppressed by Liu Jing and the others." Li Yuan's mind flashed. "The one who fled is likely Blood Sentinel, a 19.3-level Tianliang Clan Holy Land disciple, very close to becoming a Source Warrior. We must not let him escape."

In the moment he sensed the three Tianliang Clan experts, Li Yuan unleashed a Divine Palace Scanning technique, initially confirming their strengths.

Holy Land disciples possessed Mind Penetration, and their strength was formidable.

Boom!

Li Yuan burst forth at full speed, instantly breaking away from the main battlefield to pursue Blood Sentinel, his velocity skyrocketing to over 130 meters per second in just two seconds.

This extreme burst of speed had already surpassed the threshold of a 20-level Warrior.

"So fast? The life detection device only showed him at 19-level." Blood Sentinel's face changed as he fled, his full power only reaching 100 meters per second.

He was far behind Li Yuan.

It was Delgado's plan for him to flee first, as there was no chance of winning against Liu Jing.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuan pursued him alone.

In just five seconds, after dashing several hundred meters, Li Yuan caught up to Blood Sentinel.

"Whoosh!" The spear was like a dragon, a meteor streaking across the sky, piercing towards Blood Sentinel.

"Get lost!"

Blood Sentinel's entire body erupted with power, brandishing his battle sword, and he spun, chopping towards Li Yuan.

As a Tianliang Clan Holy Land disciple, he had achieved Mind Penetration, and his strength was formidable.

"Whoosh!" The battle sword roared, and in that instant—

"Die~" Li Yuan's eyes narrowed, and a terrifying psychic wave instantly swept over, rolling and crushing down.

The Mental Shock technique, Shake God, at the Perfection level, exploded!

Boom!

Blood Sentinel's mind went blank, his arms barely able to hold the battle sword.

"Puchi!"

In an instant, they crossed paths, a spear light flashing, slicing across Blood Sentinel's neck.

His head flew up, blood gushing like a fountain.

In just one exchange.

The Tianliang Clan Holy Land disciple, a Mind Penetration master—Blood Sentinel, was dead!

"Holy Land disciple?"

"Martial Dao genius?" Li Yuan's eyes turned cold, and with another slash of his spear, he tore the headless corpse apart. "Too weak!"
