Chapter 262: Divine Spirit Elixir! A Rapid Leap in Strength

Chapter 262: Divine Spirit Elixir! A Rapid Leap in Strength

Above Kunlun Martial Academy, a massive flying vessel hovered, emanating invisible fluctuations that distorted the surrounding light. If one didn't get close, a normal person wouldn't even notice it.

At this moment, two figures in green robes were streaking across the sky, rapidly approaching the flying vessel.

"Where is he?" one of the slender green-robed figures wondered inwardly.

They had been ordered to deliver a treasure, but they couldn't even find the person.

"Here." A voice suddenly sounded behind them, startling the two green-robed figures.

They immediately turned around and saw a black-clad figure standing not far away in the air, where they had just flown past. His face was handsome but cold, staring at them intently.

"Grand Master of the Hall." The tall, slender green-robed figure immediately bowed respectfully. The burly green-robed figure beside him was a bit slower, but they were both Skysoar Warriors, powerful and formidable.

However, their status was clearly far below that of Fang Hai.

"Have you brought the item?" Fang Hai asked coldly.

"It's here, Grand Master of the Hall." The slender green-robed figure flipped his palm, and a metal box appeared. With the circulation of Origin Power, the box flew to Fang Hai.

A sweep of Divine Consciousness broke the mental imprint, and a thread of Origin Power from Fang Hai confirmed that it was the correct item.

"Grand Master of the Hall, what item needed to be delivered from the God Warrior Temple?" The burly green-robed figure couldn't help but ask, "It doesn't seem to have such a high security level, yet it required our escort?"

"Shut up." The slender green-robed figure immediately turned and scolded him.

Click.

The box closed again, and Fang Hai slightly raised his head, his sharp gaze landing on the burly green-robed figure.

In the living room of the villa, Li Yuan was preparing tea for Fang Hai, and with a smile, he said, "Principal, you came here so quickly. What's the matter?"

Fang Hai took a sip of tea calmly and then smiled, "There are three matters."

"First, the rewards for the Interstellar Contribution have been calculated, and your final reward is 8,000 Seven Stars Points." Fang Hai stated.

"8,000 Seven Stars Points?" Li Yuan's eyes lit up, as this was much more than what the Principal had initially mentioned.

Over the past few days, Li Yuan had been browsing through the 'Seven Stars Treasury' in the virtual network's Starfire Space, repeatedly examining various rare treasures. Many legendary treasures could be directly exchanged for Seven Stars Points... Of course, like the Starfire Treasury, many rare treasures had limited quantities.

Even so, an additional 3,000 Seven Stars Points was an incredibly rare opportunity.

Li Yuan was well aware that with his current strength, it would be impossible to earn so many Seven Stars Points in a short time.

"The second matter is that your medal will be upgraded from the previous First Rank Golden Medal to the 'Third Rank National Protection Medal'," Fang Hai said with a smile.

"National Protection Medal?" Li Yuan was slightly startled.

The medals were ranked in twelve levels, from Bronze, Silver, Golden, to National Protection Medal... The difficulty increased exponentially as the ranks progressed.

Even a Third Rank National Protection Medal was something that most Skysoar Warriors might not possess.

"Isn't this too high?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"No." Fang Hai smiled, "I've said this before; your rewards are based on your contributions. Even rewarding you with several tens of thousands of Seven Stars Points would still be considered less. Giving you 8,000 Seven Stars Points is already on the lower side."

"The difference in rewards is because of your outstanding contributions... You will naturally receive some compensation in other aspects." Fang Hai smiled, "The promotion to the Third Rank National Protection Medal is part of this compensation, but it's mainly symbolic."

"I understand." Li Yuan nodded slightly.

Suddenly, he realized something, "Principal, you said this is just part of the compensation?"

"Yes."

"The other part of the compensation can also be seen as the League's investment in your cultivation." Fang Hai waved his hand, and a box immediately appeared on the table.

"What's this?" Li Yuan asked, his eyes glancing over the box.

~Clank~

The box opened, revealing three almost transparent jade bottles, each containing a nearly transparent liquid that shimmered with a silver glow.

As one of the bottle caps opened, a burst of peculiar energy escaped, causing Li Yuan's entire body to tingle as if his muscles and blood were simmering.

"A rare treasure! Absolutely a rare treasure!" Li Yuan was shocked, knowing that his body, having cultivated the Divine Body Technique and consumed the Ten Thousand Lives Extending Fruit, was already incredibly youthful... The cellular activity of his muscles and blood was at the very top among Origin Martial Artists.

Yet, it still reacted so strongly to this treasure? What was this item?

"I don't know the name of this item either. You can call it 'Divine Spirit Elixir'," Fang Hai's eyes held a hint of reminiscence, "It has an incredible effect on Origin Martial Artists. Once consumed, it can comprehensively enhance your physical vitality, strengthen your Life Star, and even purify your soul... It's the most powerful supportive cultivation treasure in our Seven Stars Civilization."

"For Skysoarers... the effect is much less significant."

"Even in the Ten Thousand Devils Civilization or the Immortal Ruins Civilization... those so-called Divine Son Rank geniuses might not be able to use such a treasure for cultivation support when they are Origin Martial Artists." Fang Hai spoke softly, "One bottle is enough for a month. These are three months' worth."

"So precious?" Li Yuan was astonished.

Even the Divine Son Rank geniuses of the Ten Thousand Devils Civilization might not have access to it? This was quite a bold claim.

"Don't be surprised."

"Our Seven Stars Civilization has many secrets. As you become stronger, you will gradually learn about them. Many things are coveted even by Foreign Civilizations' deities." Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan, "Of course, this Divine Spirit Elixir is also a closely guarded secret within our civilization. Only the Grand Master has direct control over it, and even many Demigods are unaware of its existence. So, you must keep it a secret and never reveal it."

"Yes, Principal." Li Yuan nodded solemnly.

So, it's directly controlled by Senior Dong Fang Ji?

"Historically, only the very top geniuses have had the privilege to use it."

"Currently, in our Seven Stars Civilization, only three people are qualified to use it. The first is Rudinesui, the second is Yu Jinghe, and the third is you." Fang Hai explained, "Of course, you and Yu Jinghe obtained the qualification to use it at the same time."

"After I reported to the Grand Master a few days ago... I fought for this privilege for you. The Grand Master also places great importance on you."

"Thank you, Principal." Li Yuan expressed his gratitude.

His gamble had paid off!

Rudinesui? He was the first Origin Martial Artist of the Seven Stars Civilization.

Yu Jinghe, who was previously the first Origin Martial Artist of Xia Country, displayed even more terrifying strength in the Fiery Plume Star Realm... His strength was almost comparable to Rudinesui. It was only natural for him to have access to this treasure.

"Three months later, you will gather with Dantu Feng, Alicia, and Jin Huguo at the God Warrior Temple," Fang Hai instructed, "The competition within the God Warrior Temple will determine the distribution of rewards and resources based on strength... You will need to compete fairly."

"The Divine Spirit Elixir, however, is an additional and highly confidential reward. It must not be disclosed. Someone will contact you at the right time, and you will be supplied with a total of 5 years' worth."

Five years, which meant 60 bottles of Divine Spirit Elixir.

"Understood, Principal." Li Yuan nodded.

He vaguely understood... There were two cultivation paths, one overt, through the God Warrior Temple, and one covert.

The purpose was likely to reduce the risk of exposing his true talent... If he could reach the peak in the God Warrior Temple, the day when his true talent would be fully revealed wouldn't be far away.

"Principal," Li Yuan suddenly thought of something, "Will Dantu Feng, Alicia, and Jin Huguo also be going to the God Warrior Temple?"

"The three of them didn't make it into the top three of the Virtual Battle."

"Take Jin Huguo, for instance, who's older and only made it into the top ten."

"Dantai Feng has exceptional talent, reaching the Fifth Stage of Skill, so he was selected early," Fang Hai smiled. "Alicia... Her performance in the Inter-Realm Arena was excellent, so she was specially selected."

"As for Jin Huguo..." Fang Hai said casually, "I've been the principal of Kunlun Wuda University for so long, I should do something for the school. He barely meets the requirements, and his cultivation is diligent enough, so I'm giving him a hand."

"Okay." Li Yuan smiled, feeling happy for his three friends.

After the permission upgrade, Li Yuan also accessed the Xinghuo Database, where he inquired about related intelligence.

The Wushen Dian, the place where Divine Warrior Heritage is cultivated, is where the true elite geniuses of the Seven Star Civilization gather.

People like Rudinesui, Yu Jinghe, and Wu Manong are all members of the Wushen Dian, but they are the most powerful core members of the 'Qixing Shan' group.

It's normal for Dantai Feng and Alicia to be selected.

Especially Dantai Feng, with his exceptional talent, he will definitely be chosen next year if he didn't make it this year.

Jin Huguo? It's probably just barely meeting the requirements, with Fang Hai giving him a helping hand.

A spot in the Wushen Dian, and Jin Huguo's strength and talent barely meet the standards. The top leadership of the Alliance won't reject Fang Hai's face.

"Alright."

"That's all, I'm leaving." Fang Hai stood up and said, "Enjoy your last few months at university. You'll be graduating soon."

"Graduating?" Li Yuan was taken aback.

"What? You're 26 years old, and your strength is almost comparable to top-tier Origin Martial Artists. Aren't you preparing to graduate?" Fang Hai laughed. "Who's going to teach you?"

Li Yuan couldn't help but laugh as well.

Indeed, his strength might have already surpassed that of 90% of the school's teachers... He was indeed about to graduate.

"By the way..."

"The 'Guan Xiang Fa' you obtained is really not bad." Fang Hai added, "If you have similar artifacts, don't use them again until you reach the Flying Heaven level."

Speaking of which, Fang Hai took a step and disappeared into the villa.

"Guan Xiang Fa?" Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, quickly realizing that the principal was giving him a warning.

"Yes."

"The 'Guan Xiang Fa' of the Gujian Deity is the most ordinary among the three types, but the Gujian Deity is not an ordinary deity." Li Yuan thought to himself.

The stronger the deity, the more powerful the 'Guan Xiang Fa' formed by the condensation of their will.

...

Back in the rest room, Li Yuan logged into the Virtual Network.

Xinghuo Space.

"Xiaoguo, I want to check the Seven Star Treasure Vault." Li Yuan said softly.

"Yes, Master!" Xiaoguo Ren's voice came from the system.

Whoosh! Countless rays of light converged, forming a huge projection screen that appeared, densely packed with numerous artifacts, armor, and other treasures.

"A Demi-God weapon, a long spear, costs 5000 Seven Star Points?" Li Yuan thought to himself, "And from the description of its effects, it might not even be as good as my Black Heaven Spear."

Indeed!

Li Yuan had named his Demi-God weapon spear as 'Black Heaven Spear', and he was already used to it.

At the same time, Li Yuan also noticed his Seven Star Points balance, which had increased from 30,000 to 38,000.

"Hehe, most Flying Heaven level martial artists probably don't have as many points as me." Li Yuan showed a slight smile.

"Purchase a full set of Tier 3 High-Grade Battle Armor." Li Yuan quickly clicked on the screen, "Soon, when my physical qualities reach the Tier 2 limit, and I use the 'Dadi Shenti' technique... In terms of power foundation, I will definitely reach the Flying Heaven level threshold."

Therefore, he must use Tier 3 Battle Armor.

As for Demi-God weapons? The Black Heaven Spear was specially chosen by Gujian for Li Yuan, and he could use it now.

Normally, Demi-God weapons are too powerful for a Tier 2 Origin Martial Artist to unleash their true power. It's better to use Tier 3 weapons instead.

Weapon armor has never been about the stronger, the better. The most suitable is the best.

Soon, Li Yuan selected all the treasures.

He spent 500 Seven Star Points to purchase a full set of Tier 3 High-Grade Battle Armor.

He spent 1200 Seven Star Points to purchase the Tier 4 Artifact, 'Nine Leaf Purple Spirit'.

He spent 1800 Seven Star Points to purchase the Tier 4 Artifact, 'Bone Flame Spring'.

In total, Li Yuan spent 3500 Seven Star Points.

Such an expenditure would definitely make countless Flying Heaven level Martial Artists feel the pain, but Li Yuan didn't mind.

There was no other way; he had the means to afford it.

Seven Star Points are meant to be used, maximizing the potential for improvement.

...

Two days later, all the treasures Li Yuan purchased were personally delivered by a Flying Heaven level Martial Artist to Kunlun Wuda University.

Even Dean Hai made a special trip, ensuring the transaction's safety.

"Li Yuan, you've done quite a lot in the Fiery Plume Star Realm, it seems the rewards the Alliance gave you are not small." Dean Hai couldn't help but exclaim, "Having a Flying Heaven level Martial Artist personally deliver your purchases, the items you bought must be worth at least 500 Seven Star Points."

Dean Hai, also a Flying Heaven level Martial Artist, understood Li Yuan's situation.

"That's still not as good as the Dean." Li Yuan said, "Moreover, no matter how powerful I become, I'll always be the Dean's student."

"Haha." Dean Hai laughed.

...

Back in the underground Martial Arts Hall, Li Yuan sat cross-legged on a soft cushion. In front of him were three items—Spirit Elixir, Nine Leaf Purple Spirit, and Bone Flame Spring.

"Let's start with the Spirit Elixir." Li Yuan picked up the jade bottle and quickly drank its contents.

As soon as it entered his stomach.

Boom! A burst of strange power seeped into every part of his body, instantly making his muscles and bones feel like they were boiling. Countless muscles and bones were going crazy with the elixir's effects.

Even Li Yuan felt that his soul was nourished, and his thoughts and mental processes were operating at a significantly faster pace.

In this state, practicing the gun technique would undoubtedly be much more efficient.

"It's similar to what the principal said. Pure Spirit Elixir doesn't directly enhance physical qualities," Li Yuan thought to himself as he quickly consumed a Nine-Leaf Purple Spirit.

He then drank a portion of Bone Flame Divine Spring.

The Nine-Leaf Purple Spirit made his body feel incredibly cool and refreshing, but the Bone Flame Divine Spring seemed to fill his body with a raging fire, as if it was about to explode.

Ice and fire, two extremes!

"Haha, the cultivation suggestion passed down by the principal is exactly as he described it." Li Yuan's eyes glimmered, and he smiled, "The collision of these two energies within my body is truly exhilarating."

"Let's start practicing the gun technique!"

Huff!

Li Yuan waved his hand, putting away the remaining Spirit Elixir, Nine-Leaf Purple Spirit, Bone Flame Divine Spring, and other valuable items.

The Nine-Leaf Purple Spirit and Bone Flame Divine Spring were both divided into many portions, which Li Yuan would gradually digest and absorb over the next two months to further enhance his physical qualities and solidify his foundation.

Boom!

A long spear appeared in Li Yuan's hand, and he immediately demonstrated his gun technique. The sweeping and slashing movements, as well as the thrusts, were filled with terrifying power.

It was like a rolling starry sky, an unstoppable force... The power of heaven and earth summoned by the spear made the gun technique even more formidable.

Fortunately, the underground martial arts room had been reinforced in all directions under the command of Principal Hai before Li Yuan returned to school, allowing it to barely withstand the aftermath of his gun technique.

"In the Interstellar Realm, I created the second true intention killing move of the gun technique." Li Yuan thought to himself, "But my gun technique is still not fast enough, not fierce enough."

"It can definitely be faster! More ferocious!" Li Yuan channeled the star technique within his body.

He quickly immersed himself in the cultivation of the gun technique.

Practicing the gun technique required sensing and manipulating the mysteries of heaven and earth, constantly adjusting the flow of power throughout his body, while also allowing the effects of the three precious treasures he consumed to be fully utilized.

All these precious treasures were merely external objects.

The real core was the person, oneself.

Only through one's own efforts and diligent cultivation could these treasures be utilized to their full potential.

...

Time passed.

Day by day.

Aside from his fixed daily cultivation of the "Starry Sky Vein" and "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture," Li Yuan spent most of his time sensing and observing the "Ten Thousand Stars Diagram" with his spiritual consciousness, continuously refining his gun technique and pursuing its limits.

"Star True Intention?"

"No!"

"What I should pursue is the limit of the gun technique." Li Yuan realized this in the Heritage Temple, "Whether it's defensive or offensive moves, Star True Intention... or the mysteries of nature and heaven."

"How can I make my gun technique more powerful?"

"How can I make my gun practice more enjoyable? That's how I'll practice." Li Yuan followed his heart's desire but never strayed from the path.

He had already reached a state of 'doing as one pleases without crossing the line.'

In the blink of an eye, nearly two months had passed.

It was early June, and the day to visit the God Warrior Temple was drawing near.

...

On the first floor of the Black Tower, there was an extra-large martial arts room.

Boom! Boom!

Two figures exuding terrifying auras were engaged in an intense battle within the martial arts room.

A black-clothed youth wielded his spear like a ferocious wave, thrusting it out with rapid succession. Each move was faster than the last, summoning terrifying forces of heaven and earth that transformed into countless spear shadows in mid-air, attacking a sturdy, tall man.

"Clang!"

"Clang! Clang! Clang!" With each clash of weapons, the sturdy man held a shield in one hand and a spear in the other, blocking the attacks of the black-clothed youth.

However, the thrusting spear was too fast and fierce.

With each strike, the sturdy man found it increasingly difficult to defend.

The two fought for over a thousand moves, their bodies barely moving, locked in a fierce battle. The terrifying power they unleashed through their legs impacted the ground, causing even the indestructible metal floor to distort slightly.

It was worth noting that this martial arts room was specially constructed to withstand the battles of top-tier Origin Warriors.

Suddenly—

"Shred!" In another lightning-fast clash, the black spear transformed into numerous spear shadows, finally bypassing the sturdy man's shield. The spearhead twisted, and the spear shaft curved, aiming directly at the sturdy man's face.

Boom!

Flames erupted from the sturdy man's body, and his power surged as he dodged the bizarre and ferocious attack.

Huff! The black-clothed youth retracted his spear and smiled, "Teacher, you've won."

"Li Yuan, you've won." The retreating Li Yang suppressed his Flame Origin Power and returned to normal. A hint of loneliness flashed across his face, but it was mostly filled with excitement and joy, "During our recent practical battle, I knew you would surpass me soon, but I never imagined it would be this fast."

"You are undoubtedly the best disciple I, Li Yang, have ever taught." Li Yang smiled at Li Yuan.

Principal Xu, standing nearby, was stunned by the sight.

A head-on confrontation!

Without using Origin Power, Li Yang had fought with all his might, yet he still lost to Li Yuan?

"You've surpassed me. It's time for you to graduate." Li Yang smiled.

The student has surpassed the master, a dream of every teacher who sincerely imparts their knowledge.
