Chapter 222: The Legend of the Seven-Star Pulse

Chapter 222: The Legend of the Seven-Star Pulse



"Haha, your eyes are sharp. You recognized me at first sight." The white-haired elder laughed.

"Senior, your appearance is known to all in Xia Country; everyone is aware of your fame," Li Yuan respectfully smiled.

This respect came from the heart.

In terms of strength, Dongfang Ji was undoubtedly more powerful, the undisputed first in civilization.

But within Xia Country, if we were to talk about prestige, the elder before him might be even more revered.

This was the accumulation of years, not something that could be suppressed by pure strength alone.

"Li Yuan, you were used as bait to set up a killing game, and you should have no objections in your heart," the man in black said calmly, looking at Li Yuan.

His eyes were steady.

"There's no problem with that. It's what should be done," Li Yuan said firmly. "I trust the principal's decision."

His upbringing since childhood had already instilled this awareness in Li Yuan... From a broader perspective, the students of the Martial Arts University were essentially pre-military.

"I also believe in you, but there is some risk involved for you in this matter. After all, that killer is a formidable Flying Level expert," Bai Shan Xingzhu smiled and said, "Of course, your principal is indeed powerful, and in some aspects, he surpasses the Flying Level."

"In the end, the result was good," Bai Shan Xingzhu smiled.

Li Yuan nodded slightly and couldn't help but say, "Principal, Senior Bai Shan, I heard Dean Hai just say... the one who died was the clone of that 'Shadow,' right?"

"His true body has already been killed by me," Principal Fang Hai said calmly.

Li Yuan was secretly shocked and became even more curious about the principal.

So formidable?

"Li Yuan, don't be too surprised," Bai Shan Xingzhu smiled and said, "Your principal can do it, and in a few years, you will reach the pinnacle of the Flying Level, and you might even be able to do the same... You might even surpass your principal."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "The principal's past achievements have always been the goal that encourages me to move forward."

Joking aside, Principal Fang Hai is still standing here. How could I casually agree with such words?"

Perhaps Senior Bai Shan was even more influential.

But the current official is not as good as the current manager. It's still best to follow the principal's footsteps.

"Li Yuan," Principal Fang Hai finally spoke up. "I have confirmed you as Xia Country's second-tier Martial God heritage candidate for this year, and Senior Bai Shan personally verified it."

Li Yuan instantly understood the principal's intention and immediately said respectfully, "Thank you, Senior Bai Shan."

"It's nothing."

"This spot, our country selects one every year, and most of the geniuses chosen in history are not as excellent as you." Senior Bai Shan smiled, looking at Li Yuan with growing approval, "Nowadays, among the younger generation in Xia Country, you are the most outstanding, and it's only right to choose you."

Li Yuan remained silent.

Should it be so? Xia Country has a population of over two billion, and there are countless martial geniuses under the age of 30.

Only an existence like Senior Bai Shan would consider this spot insignificant.

"Li Yuan, this time, you managed to kill the hidden Flying Level killer from the Tianliang Clan, and you have made a great contribution," Principal Fang Hai continued. "Secondly, in the Blue Star Tournament's virtual combat, your gun technique reached the intermediate level of the fifth stage, which is indeed excellent."

"Therefore, Senior Bai Shan came today not only to identify the hidden person's identity but also mainly to meet you," Principal Fang Hai said.

"To meet me specifically?" Li Yuan held his breath.

He suddenly thought of what Dean Hai had said before, that the higher-ups of Xia Country valued him highly.

Now it seems that these so-called higher-ups...

are probably referring to Principal Fang Hai and Senior Bai Shan.

"I meet all the top geniuses born in Xia Country over the years," Senior Bai Shan said with a smile, very amiable, "Don't be too restrained. Last year, Yu Jing He came to see me, and he was much more relaxed than you."

Li Yuan was speechless.

Relax?

Yes! In theory, his potential and talent might be higher than Yu Jing He's, but in the end, it's just theory.

Yu Jing He, his combat strength was already comparable to the Flying Level, and with strength comes confidence.

"Your core cultivation is the Star Gun Technique and the Essence of Stars, right?" Senior Bai Shan continued to ask.

"Yes," Li Yuan nodded. This wasn't a secret.

"Senior Bai Shan is the founder of the Essence of Stars," Principal Fang Hai said. "Nowadays, among the third-stage secret manuals freely available for learning in the Alliance, many were created by Senior Bai Shan."

"Created by Senior Bai Shan?" Li Yuan was surprised.

A long time ago, he had wondered who created those third-stage secret manuals that supplied a large number of Origin Warriors for learning... Creating second-stage secret manuals wasn't difficult. If Li Yuan spent the time, he might even be able to create one, as it was just a summary of methods for applying force.

At most, the level of conciseness wouldn't match those meticulously refined secret manuals.

But a third-stage secret manual?

This was a realm that required unity with heaven and earth, sensing the natural world... Like Li Yuan, he could only cultivate it himself at present.

But to summarize a secret manual? To pass it on to future generations? Li Yuan couldn't do it.

It was hard to explain or understand.

Like Li Yang and Dean Xu, who had previously taught Li Yuan through real combat... allowing Li Yuan to personally experience the unity of heaven and earth in their moves.

Even the advanced virtual network could only imitate fourth-stage and below techniques with 100% accuracy.

But fifth-stage techniques? They could only be imitated at 50%.

"Haha, don't be surprised. It's just a secret manual that guides one towards the true meaning of heaven and earth," Senior Bai Shan laughed and said. "When you reach my and your principal's level in the future, you will probably be able to create many similar secret manuals to guide future generations."

Li Yuan smiled.

If it was that easy, that would be great.

Currently, in the entire Xia Country, those who could reach Principal Fang Hai and Senior Bai Shan's level could probably be counted on one hand.

"The Martial God Heritage is the highest-level cultivation ground prepared for geniuses by the entire civilization. As for me, I can't provide such a place," Bai Shan smiled and said. "But you have performed excellently, and as your senior, I should also show some support."

Li Yuan held his breath, knowing that the main event was about to unfold.

The visit from the two Star Sovereigns was unlikely to be a mere formality.

Just as elders often prepared gifts for their juniors, the Star Sovereigns had something important to discuss.

"The most challenging path in your cultivation lies in creating laws, which is essentially awakening your Life Star Pulse. You should be aware of this," Bai Shan, the Star Sovereign, said.

Li Yuan nodded, "Yes, I understand. I've read about it in the Martial Hall."

Principal Fang Hai stood by, silent and composed.

"Your spiritual power is strong, and your skills are exceptional. With guidance from various cultivation methods, awakening three Life Star Pulses should not be difficult," Bai Shan continued. "However, I believe that Xiao Hai, or Dean Hai, has already mentioned that you possess a high level of spiritual essence."

"Yes, he did," Li Yuan nodded.

"Your physical qualities are improving rapidly, which is likely related to your high spiritual essence. Therefore, my suggestion is that you don't need to rush into the Skysoaring Realm during the Origin Warrior stage," Bai Shan advised.

"Don't rush?" Li Yuan was taken aback.

"The so-called physical talent is actually the talent of the Life Star Pulse. The Life Star Pulse is the foundation of Origin Energy and the basis of life," Principal Fang Hai interjected. "Your true talent in Life Star Pulses is exceptionally high. Therefore, during the Origin Warrior stage, you should strive to awaken as many Life Star Pulses as possible—ideally four, five, or even six!"

"The more Life Star Pulses you awaken, and the stronger each pulse becomes, the stronger your foundation will be. This will make you even more powerful when you become a Flying Warrior," Principal Fang Hai explained.

Li Yuan listened attentively.

These were things he had never known before.

"Talent in Life Star Pulses has two aspects: the number of Life Star Pulses and the number of Life Stars," Bai Shan said. "To reach the third-tier Flying Warrior level, you must awaken at least three Life Star Pulses. Otherwise, even with exceptional skills, breaking through will be challenging. To become a Flying Warrior, you need a minimum of 29.9-grade physical quality, perfect fifth-stage skills, 29-grade spiritual power, and three awakened Life Star Pulses."

Li Yuan listened carefully.

These four requirements were the foundation for becoming a Flying Warrior.

"This is just the beginning of becoming a Flying Warrior. If you want to surpass the Flying Level in the future, you must awaken even more Life Star Pulses," Bai Shan emphasized. "Similarly, the more Life Star Pulses you have, the easier it will be to break through your limits in the Flying Level. You might even be able to rival a Demigod in terms of physical Origin Energy."

"A Demigod?" Li Yuan was surprised.

"Surpassing the Flying Level is equivalent to becoming a Demigod, also known as the fourth-tier existence," Principal Fang Hai explained.

Li Yuan understood.

So, the Flying Level was comparable to a Demigod in terms of foundation.

"The Flying Level is comparable to a Demigod in terms of foundation?" Li Yuan listened in awe.

This was undoubtedly a significant secret in the path of martial cultivation.

"Li Yuan, what do you think is the level of Origin Energy for a Flying Warrior at their peak?" Bai Shan suddenly asked with a smile.

"The peak of the Flying Level? It should be 39-grade," Li Yuan replied matter-of-factly.

Bai Shan and Principal Fang Hai exchanged glances and smiled.

"Wrong," Bai Shan said. "The Flying Warriors we commonly refer to as being at their peak are actually at the 35-grade. As for Demigod-level warriors, they are at least 40-grade."

35-grade?

40-grade for a Demigod?

"What about the levels between 36 and 39?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask. There couldn't be a gap, could there?

"When you cultivate Origin Energy to the 35-grade, you reach the peak of the Flying Level. If your cultivation realm is sufficient, you can directly break through to the Demigod realm and achieve the 40-grade," Principal Fang Hai explained. "However, if you want to cultivate to the 36-grade, you'll need to awaken six Life Star Pulses."

"To cultivate to the 37-grade in the Flying Level, you'll need to awaken seven Life Star Pulses."

"And so on... Theoretically, if you can awaken ten Life Star Pulses, you can cultivate to the 40-grade in the Flying Level."

"However," Principal Fang Hai continued.

"Awakening six Life Star Pulses is already an astonishing feat."

"Awakening seven Life Star Pulses and cultivating to the 37-grade is an even more incredible achievement. In the various alien civilizations known to our human civilization, it's almost legendary, bordering on invincibility within the same realm," Fang Hai said calmly. "As for eight or more Life Star Pulses, they are only theoretical possibilities."

Six Life Star Pulses?

Seven Life Star Pulses?

Li Yuan listened, his breath caught in awe. Principal Fang Hai and Bai Shan's words seemed to open a door to a realm he had never known before.

So, the peak of a Flying Warrior was actually the 35-grade, not the 39-grade he had imagined.

The more Life Star Pulses one awakens, the more one can break through their limits and cultivate even more powerful Star Arts.

"Similarly, the more Life Star Pulses you awaken, and the stronger they become, the more terrifying the Star Arts you can cultivate will be," Principal Fang Hai continued. "A typical Flying Warrior at their peak is only at the 35-grade. When facing a Demigod-level warrior with over 40-grade power, they have no chance of resistance. However, with six or seven Life Star Pulses, if you can cultivate to the upper limit of the Flying Level, reaching the 36-grade or 37-grade, the gap in foundation will significantly narrow. Combined with the multiple Star Arts cultivated through multiple Life Star Pulses, you may even rival a Demigod."

"If your cultivation realm is even higher..."

"For example, if you can cross the threshold of laws..."

"Then you may truly rival a Demigod with your Flying Level cultivation," Principal Fang Hai said slowly, a mysterious light flashing in his eyes. "You might even be able to slay a Demigod!"

"Slay a Demigod with the Flying Level cultivation?" Li Yuan was shocked and yearned for such power.

He understood that the higher one's cultivation level, the more difficult it became to challenge those above.

It was not uncommon for a first-tier warrior to fight an Origin Warrior in human civilization.

But for an Origin Warrior to fight a Flying Level warrior? That was extremely rare; each one was a top-tier genius.

After all, who among the Flying Warriors wasn't a martial genius in their youth?

And to slay a Demigod by surpassing one's cultivation level?

"Has anyone in our Seven Star Human Civilization achieved this?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

Principal Fang Hai paused and replied, "Not yet!"
