Chapter 59

After five or six days, Li Yuan's fist technique had improved to Stage 4 6%, but his spear technique had not been able to break through.

The combination of body and mind is the foundation for the unity of body, mind, and weapon.

Therefore, Li Yuan practiced the Rock Spear Technique again and again, pondering the first move of the Star Spear Technique again and again.

This made the power of his spear technique constantly improve.

However!

The unity of body, mind, and weapon focuses on the word 'weapon', which is mastering the weapon.

The weapon is an extension of the body.

But it is ultimately not a part of the body; the mind, consciousness, and nerves cannot truly connect to the weapon.

Therefore, it is very difficult to perceive the operation of force in the weapon as one perceives the strength of the body's muscles and bones.

During these few days, the power of the spear technique improved.

It meant that Li Yuan's perception of the excess force generated when the weapon was danced, collided, retracted, and thrust was becoming clearer.

Until today.

Until this moment.

When the news of his uncle's life and death being unknown came, Li Yuan swung the long spear again and again, filled with anger and killing intent.

Performing it again and again!

A full hour passed.

Li Yuan only had the spear technique in his heart, wanting to exhaust all his energy thoroughly.

Finally, it seemed like an accumulation of thin hair, or perhaps it was a flash of inspiration.

"Boom!" In Li Yuan's heart, it was as if a door had been pushed open gently.

His powerful mental power, as if it had grown eyes, faintly penetrated into the interior of the weapon.

He perceived the extremely subtle force operation inside the weapon.

"Rip~"

The long spear danced, the spear tip drew dazzling arcs in mid-air, shifting uncertainly, and the air tearing produced an astonishing explosive sound.

Body, mind, long spear!

The three were completely united.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Swish!

The overwhelming spear light flickered, wrapping Li Yuan in the center, just like the stars flickering in the night sky, round and flawless, impeccable.

It was none other than 'Star Awakening', one of the five ultimate moves of the "Star Spear Technique".

The "Star Spear Technique" is known for its defense; the first move, Star Awakening, is the starting move and also the most core move.

Only after learning the first move.

Can one gradually derive the subsequent four moves, and even finally combine the five moves into one, to comprehend the Star artistic conception.

[Your spear technique realm has increased from Stage 3 99% to Stage 4 2%]

A notification flashed on Li Yuan's Divine Palace panel.

Whoosh!

This unprecedented eruption at this moment, combined with the previous hours of cultivation.

Finally exhausted all of Li Yuan's energy.

Li Yuan's mind and body were unprecedentedly exhausted, and waves of fatigue surged into his heart, his eyelids couldn't stop drooping.

"Clang~" The twenty-kilogram heavy spear fell to the ground.

Li Yuan actually sat on the ground and then fell straight onto the ground.

He fell asleep directly.

Too exhausted.

More than an hour later.

Li Yuan was already lying on the bed in his lounge, snoring like thunder.

Beside him, Zhou Qi and Li Tianyou were sweating profusely.

Cultivating the basic cultivation method, physical fitness constantly improves, and the body also becomes heavier; it took them a lot of effort to put Li Yuan on the bed.

Then, they covered Li Yuan with a thin quilt.

March in Jiangcheng City still had a bit of chill.

"Teacher Xu, is Li Yuan okay?" Zhou Qi couldn't help but ask, a trace of worry in his eyes.

"He's fine."

"He should have practiced the spear to the limit, exhausted his physical strength, and is too tired." Xu Bo, who was like an iron tower beside him, said indifferently.

"How did you know something happened to Li Yuan?" Xu Bo looked at the two.

Zhou Qi and Li Tianyou looked at each other.

"Teacher, didn't something happen over at the Luo Bu Sea?" Li Tianyou took the initiative to say: "Li Yuan's uncle has always been in the Luo Bu Sea, and just now Li Yuan didn't come down for dinner... we were a bit worried, so we wanted to come up and take a look."

"The door was ajar, and we found him as soon as we pushed the door." Li Tianyou said.

"And you?" Xu Bo looked at Lin Lanyue standing by the door.

"I saw them coming out of the martial arts room in a panic, so I came over to take a look." Lin Lanyue was wearing a Red Cloud martial arts uniform today: "And I immediately messaged you, Teacher."

Lin Lanyue's gaze fell on Li Yuan's face.

Xu Bo nodded slightly and asked an additional question: "Has Li Yuan's uncle not returned to Jiangcheng City yet?"

"No." Zhou Qi shook his head and said: "I heard from Li Yuan that he seems to have been staying on the front line."

"Okay, I see." Xu Bo nodded: "Zhou Qi, you two go eat first."

"Yes."

Zhou Qi and Li Tianyou left the martial arts room.

"Lin Lanyue." Xu Bo looked at Lin Lanyue and said in a low voice: "Li Yuan's uncle having an accident seems to have a great impact on him."

"Tomorrow afternoon."

"You are all going to set off for Jiangbei Martial Arts University, and you are more familiar with that side... try your best to help him."

"Li Yuan." Xu Bo's gaze fell on Li Yuan on the bed, and he sighed lightly: "His luck has never been very good."

"Luck?" Lin Lanyue was stunned when she heard this and said: "His fainting is related to his uncle? Is his uncle so important to him?"

In Lin Lanyue's impression, Li Yuan's willpower should be extremely strong.

"He is an orphan."

Xu Bo said indifferently: "It was his uncle who raised him. As far as I know, his uncle took the risk to go to the Luo Bu Sea, probably to cultivate martial arts for Li Yuan and to get more subsidies."

Lin Lanyue trembled in her heart and couldn't help but look at Li Yuan lying on the bed.

She didn't expect Li Yuan's background to be so special.

She didn't know at all before.

"Did his uncle sacrifice?" Lin Lanyue couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know." Xu Bo shook his head: "You know, the Luo Bu Sea is extremely chaotic, but looking at Li Yuan's appearance, it's probably not looking good... Star realm wars are hard to say."

Lin Lanyue nodded slightly; her background gave her a very high vision.

In some aspects, even Xu Bo might not be as knowledgeable as her.

"Teacher Xu, for this invitation event, I will try my best to help Li Yuan." Lin Lanyue's gaze swept over Li Yuan once again, seeming to have made some kind of determination: "Try my best to help him get selected for the special training list."

"However."

"You don't need to tell Li Yuan deliberately." Lin Lanyue added: "With his personality, he probably wouldn't want to accept direct help from others."

"Hmm, I'll thank you on Li Yuan's behalf first." Xu Bo smiled slightly: "You go back first, I'm here, don't worry."

Watching Lin Lanyue leave, Xu Bo's gaze fell on Li Yuan again, frowning slightly.

"Is it really practicing the spear to the limit? Can he be tired like this?" Xu Bo muttered to himself.

The preliminary test of the lounge's instruments confirmed that there was no major problem with Li Yuan's body.

All indicators were normal.

Thinking of this, Xu Bo exited the lounge, closed the door lightly, and said in a low voice: "Black Dog, I want to check the 4011 Martial Arts Room, apply for video permission."

Every independent martial arts room, except for the lounge, has surveillance.

But ordinary teachers do not have permission to view it.

After a while.

"Master, the application is successful, you can query the video within seven days." The auxiliary AI's voice sounded.

Hum~

Xu Bo's smart ring directly projected a light screen, showing the scene inside the martial arts room.

"Play the scene from two hours ago." Xu Bo said.

The scene in the light screen changed immediately, showing Li Yuan practicing the spear in the martial arts room.

Just one glance.

"This spear technique?" Xu Bo's eyes revealed a look of shock; how could he not see the powerful aspects of Li Yuan's spear technique? It was clearly much stronger than before.

Time passed.

Speed up! Speed up! Xu Bo kept watching, and finally, he stopped accelerating.

It reached the most critical moment.

"Fourth-stage spear technique!" Xu Bo widened his eyes, his eyes full of shock.

"Seventeen and a half, fourth-stage spear technique?"

Xu Bo knew that with Li Yuan's speed of progress, he would step into the fourth-stage spear technique sooner or later.

But he never expected Li Yuan to break through so quickly.

"The special training list is stable." Xu Bo grinned.

Immediately, his peripheral vision swept across the ajar door beside him, and his smile faded again.

"Sigh."

Past eight o'clock in the evening.

Li Yuan slowly woke up from his deep sleep, only feeling a splitting headache, and his whole body was still extremely tired.

"Me? This is on the bed?" Li Yuan noticed the thin quilt covering him.

The light suddenly turned on, the door opened, and the light was blinding.

Li Yuan subconsciously covered his eyes.

"Awake?" A pleasant voice sounded, and the young girl wearing the Red Cloud practice suit stood by the door, seemingly holding several boxes of nutritional meals in her hand.

"Lin Lanyue?" Li Yuan recognized the owner of the voice.

"I just reheated the nutritional meals, and they are on the dining table here, you get up and eat first." Lin Lanyue said: "I'll call Teacher Xu over."

Putting down the things, Lin Lanyue turned and left.

Li Yuan sat up, quickly regained his clarity, and the headache quickly eased: "I was practicing the spear just now and fell to the ground?"

After getting out of bed and washing up.

Li Yuan walked out of the lounge and came to the dining table, where four boxes of nutritional meals were placed.

He was too hungry and didn't want to think too much, so he started eating in big mouthfuls.

"Finally awake? Looks like you have a good appetite." Xu Bo's voice sounded from the door.

"Teacher." Li Yuan put down his chopsticks and wanted to get up.

"Don't get up, sit and eat." Xu Bo revealed a smile: "The first time you performed the fourth-stage spear technique, the massive consumption of physical strength in an instant must have made you hungry."

"Teacher knows my spear technique is at the fourth stage?" Li Yuan was slightly surprised.

Xu Bo smiled and didn't explain.

"Where is Lin Lanyue?" Li Yuan subconsciously looked at the door.

"I told her to go back and cultivate." Xu Bo said: "She also has a heart; she helped you buy food at six o'clock, and she was afraid you wouldn't have enough to eat, so she bought four boxes."

Li Yuan felt a slight warmth in his heart and couldn't help but say: "She found me fainted?"

"It was Zhou Qi and Li Tianyou who found you." Xu Bo said: "And Lin Lanyue happened to be there, so she called me over."

Li Yuan nodded and continued to eat in big mouthfuls.

He was indeed hungry.

"You practiced the spear too much, and then suddenly broke through and erupted, and your body couldn't bear the consumption, so you fainted." Xu Bo stood beside him: "Don't worry, it will be fine when your body gradually adapts."

Li Yuan asked while eating: "Teacher, does breaking through to the fourth stage of technique always happen like this?"

"Mostly not." Xu Bo said: "Most martial artists break through to the fourth stage of technique after level 15, when their bodies are strong enough."

"Your body is too weak."

"The unity of body, mind, and weapon, plus your mental power is too much stronger than your body, the instantaneous consumption is too large, that's why this happened." Xu Bo said.

Li Yuan suddenly realized.

He swept away a box of rice like a whirlwind, but didn't feel full at all.

Now, Li Yuan felt he could eat a whole cow.

"Li Yuan, your uncle is at Base No. 3, right?" Xu Bo suddenly asked.

Li Yuan was stunned and asked excitedly: "Teacher, is there news?"

"Base No. 3 has not fallen yet." Xu Bo said solemnly.
