Chapter 130: October, Finally Comprehending the Five Stellar Styles (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Kunlun Martial University, deep within the large villa area belonging to the Sixth Academy.

It is very tranquil, with only a few super-large villas, and there is a lake beside the villas.

This place already belongs to the relatively outer area of Kunlun Martial University. It is currently September, and the sun is setting. The ripples on the not-too-large lake are sparkling, and the scenery is very beautiful, like a gorgeous painting.

"You're saying, Li Yuan took the Hundred Marrow Spirit Wither for the second time and relied entirely on himself to endure it throughout?" Dean Hai, wearing blue clothes, is sitting leisurely on the grass beside the villa, wearing sunglasses and fishing.

The raised parasol blocks the sunlight for him.

Beside him, someone is constantly cutting fresh fruit and replacing the drinks on the table that are no longer icy.

"Yes." Li Yang stands in the sunlight and says quite respectfully: "His willpower seems to have improved by a large margin compared to last month."

"Not bad." Dean Hai takes a sip of his cold drink and says indifferently: "What level is his physical fitness?"

"About level 13.4," Li Yang says.

"The improvement speed is a bit slower than I expected, but it's still acceptable." Dean Hai says indifferently: "At this rate of progress, I'm afraid he won't be able to participate in the next actual combat assessment."

"Dean, your judgment is sharp." Li Yang nods and says: "The next actual combat assessment is expected to be at the end of February next year. By then, his physical fitness will likely reach level 15. Going to participate in the actual combat assessment... will have no sharpening significance."

The purpose of the actual combat assessment is to sharpen students and let them feel the pressure of life and death.

However, if one has fourth-stage high-tier skills combined with physical fitness above level 15, one would be slaughtering everything in the Fifth Actual Combat Assessment Base.

That would lose the original intention of the actual combat assessment.

As for higher-level actual combat assessments?

Given the overall strength of human civilization, it is difficult to capture so many high-level alien races because they are hard to control, and a slight carelessness would cause big trouble.

Secondly, martial artists above level 15 can already play a huge role in many places.

Therefore, once physical fitness exceeds level 15, it is usually true actual combat, not an assessment.

"Fine."

"If he improves fast enough and can reach level 15 first, let him go to the 'Mingxu Star Realm' in January next year for his first life-and-death roaming." Dean Hai says indifferently: "If the progress is a bit late, then go in March."

"January or March next year? Going for life-and-death roaming so soon?" Li Yang is shocked upon hearing this and can't help but say: "Dean Hai, his freshman year hasn't even ended yet. Why not wait until Li Yuan is stronger?"

"The Mingxu Star Realm is full of alien beasts, and we have only established observation points. If he goes in just after reaching level 15, I'm afraid it will be a bit dangerous." Li Yang explains.

Unlike the actual combat assessment, the danger of the assessment is relatively controllable.

But roaming the Star Realm, like the Mingxu Star Realm, is a true 'pioneer Star Realm' and is still in the exploration stage.

Once danger is encountered, there is no time for rescue, and he can only rely on Li Yuan himself.

"The Mingxu Star Realm is only a Tier-One Star Realm."

"According to preliminary survey results, there are very few second-rank native lifeforms in the entire Mingxu Star Realm, and the danger level is moderate." Dean Hai says indifferently: "It is indeed dangerous, but precisely because it is dangerous, it can truly sharpen him."

"If he is always raised in a greenhouse, when will he be able to grow up?"

"Li Yuan is different from other students." Li Yang can't help but say: "Most other students only..."

"There is no difference." Dean Hai glances at Li Yang standing there and says indifferently: "I understand what you mean. If Li Yuan continues to cultivate step-by-step, he can fully cultivate to level 20 or even a higher level in one go."

Li Yang nods subconsciously.

Why do most students go for life-and-death roaming at level 15? They reach a bottleneck and progress too slowly.

At this time, if there is no life-and-death stimulation, there is almost no hope for skills to enter the fourth stage.

"But my perspective is different from yours." Dean Hai looks at Li Yang: "Being a Source Martial Artist is not my goal in cultivating him."

"I hope he can become a Flying Martial Artist."

"If he wants to create a technique, then the more brilliant his skills and the younger he is, the higher the success rate."

"Secondly, he is very special. To become a Flying Martial Artist, he must have sixth-stage skills." Dean Hai explains patiently, which is rare: "If he cultivates step-by-step, he will likely be able to achieve mental micro-perception next year."

"And then?"

"From the fourth stage to the fifth stage, without external stimulation, through normal cultivation, can you confirm when he will break through?" Dean Hai asks back.

Li Yang shakes his head, having nothing to say.

Skill cultivation becomes harder to break through the further one goes.

From third-stage perfection to the fourth stage, most martial artists will be trapped.

Like any student at Kunlun Martial University, they can all be called 'straight-A students' in their youth.

But if the time scale is extended to twenty or even thirty years after graduation, the students who can eventually become Source Martial Artists can barely exceed 40%.

Not to mention fourth-stage perfection 'mental micro-perception' crossing into the fifth stage, which is an even bigger bottleneck.

If skills can enter the fifth stage, combined with high-stage cultivation methods, one will be able to cultivate smoothly all the way to a level 29 Source Martial Artist.

A level 29 Source Martial Artist is already a big shot who shakes a city or province in the outside world.

At the current Kunlun Martial University, there are some students with mental micro-perception.

But students with fifth-stage skills? Not a single one.

"From a level 29 Source Martial Artist to a level 30 Flying Martial Artist, it will be an even greater chasm." Dean Hai says indifferently: "To become a Flying Martial Artist, skills must be at least fifth-stage perfection."

"The greater the potential and the stronger the body, the harder it is to break through."

"Like Yu Jinghe, he has already surpassed the realm of 'Heavenly Human' and has stepped into the sixth stage, truly beginning to comprehend the Dao."

"So what? He is still a level 29 Source Martial Artist." Dean Hai says indifferently: "You yourself are also at the fifth stage of skills, don't you understand?"

Li Yang is speechless.

Doesn't he understand? He naturally understands!

Li Yang himself is also trapped at the fifth stage of skills.

"Being protected all the way and cultivating steadily without worries seems good. Li Yuan can safely cultivate to level 20 or even above level 25."

"However, without the stimulation between life and death, his mind is hard to truly grow, and it is difficult for his comprehension and character to have a qualitative change." Dean Hai says: "Just like Fang Hai, how monstrous was he back then? It was precisely because he was too monstrous that the Starfire Martial Hall couldn't bear to let him be sharpened, worrying about his death. And in the end?"

"Achieving Flying status is certainly good, but does it live up to the talent Fang Hai initially revealed?"

"Jade must be carved to become a useful object."

"I think highly of Li Yuan."

"I just hope that while he still maintains sharpness and vigor in his heart, he will advance bravely." Dean Hai looks at Li Yang: "Do you still have any thoughts?"

Li Yang shakes his head repeatedly, like a rattle-drum.

Boss! You have already said it to this point, how could I dare to have an opinion?

However.

Li Yang understands in his heart that Dean Hai's words have their logic.

"Rest assured, life-and-death roaming is also phased." Dean Hai's voice becomes gentle again: "After he roams for a period of time, he will return to school to cultivate with a calm mind for a period of time. Combining the two will have the best effect."

"Yes." Li Yang nods.

Plop~

The float on the lake not far away jumps suddenly.

"The fish is hooked." Dean Hai suddenly shows a smile and quickly lifts the fishing rod.

A small fish is caught.

Li Yuan is unaware of the next stage of his cultivation plan agreed upon by Dean Hai and Li Yang.

He is still devoting himself to cultivation, occasionally.

"Oh?"

"Qianqian and Muhua have been transferred to the middle school directly under the Martial Hall? Are they willing themselves?" Li Yuan calls his uncle Li Zhangzhou via V-message: "Oh? They are willing, then fine, Uncle, you decide."

Every three to five days.

Li Yuan contacts his family once, which counts as one of his few 'mental relaxations'.

Then.

He dives into cultivation again.

"With the help of the Hundred Marrow Spirit Wither, my speed of absorbing the High Source Spirit Spring is too fast." Li Yuan sighs for it: "Throughout August, I used up a full nine portions."

Nine portions, that's 9 million Blue Star Coins!

In addition to the 4 portions gifted by the school, Li Yuan spent his own money to buy 5 portions.

"In September, I might have to use up ten portions." Li Yuan thinks to himself.

This speed of resource consumption is terrifying.

The consumption is large, and the effect is also extremely astonishing.

Normal martial artists improve slower the further they go, at least in terms of life layer.

Li Yuan is just the opposite. Since entering the ranks, his life layer level has shown an increasingly fast trend.

"Li Yuan, your physical fitness is improving too fast." Jiang Lun, as the actual combat teacher, is the most surprised.

He has actual combat training every three days and can clearly sense it.

Every time he sees Li Yuan, Li Yuan's speed and strength have significantly improved.

This speed of transformation is simply shocking.

"Teacher, that's why I say I'm a genius." Li Yuan says with a chuckle: "Come on, Teacher, don't leave today unless you let me have a good time."

"You kid." Jiang Lun laughs.

"Teacher Jiang." Li Yang finds Jiang Lun privately.

"Dean Li." Jiang Lun is very honest.

He looks gentle and refined on the outside, but is very crazy on the inside, yet he knows better who can be provoked and who cannot.

"Regarding the improvement range of Li Yuan's physical fitness, don't leak it out." Li Yang says sternly: "The school's highest echelon has arrangements, and Dean Hai gave the order personally."

"Understood." Jiang Lun has already started to imagine things.

Besides Jiang Lun.

The other two ordinary Source Martial Artists who often have actual combat training with Li Yuan have also received Li Yang's instructions not to leak secrets.

Besides Li Yuan cultivating hard.

All the freshmen at Kunlun Martial University have actually gradually adapted to the university's cultivation rhythm and are devoting themselves to cultivation.

Like Gu Qianghan, An Nong, etc., as time passes, their strength is also improving very fast.

In a general knowledge class, before class.

"Brother Yuan, my skills have reached the third-stage mid-tier." Gu Qianghan says quite excitedly: "My body also entered the ranks yesterday, reaching level 10.0."

"Congratulations." Li Yuan smiles.

Gu Qianghan's improvement speed... is considered quite good among the freshmen at Kunlun Martial University.

Especially physical fitness, which actually already belongs to the first tier.

It's just that, compared to his family conditions, it's a bit slow.

"By the way."

"Brother Yuan, my sister asked about your situation two days ago." Gu Qianghan says suddenly.

"Your sister?" Li Yuan is stunned, Lin Lanyue?

The two sides haven't been in contact for several months.

"How is she at Starry Sky University?" Li Yuan smiles.

Starry Sky University is far away on the Lantis Continent, located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

It is very far from the Xia Nation.

"Big Brother is serving as a teacher there, she won't have any trouble." Gu Qianghan shrugs.

Li Yuan reacts, the 'Big Brother' in Gu Qianghan's mouth is probably Big Brother Lin.

"Her physical fitness seems to be approaching level 13, and her skills have also reached the fourth-stage mid-tier. Her progress is rapid. If they really had actual combat, Wu Dongdong probably wouldn't be her opponent now." Gu Qianghan sighs, then smiles: "However, it's still not catching up to you, Brother Yuan."

Wu Dongdong was also admitted to Starry Sky University.

"Lin Lanyue is approaching level 13? Fourth-stage mid-tier?" Li Yuan is surprised in his heart.

What an astonishing improvement speed.

Physical fitness is one thing, Lin Lanyue's physical fitness had already entered the ranks in April. With her talent and resources, improving by more than two levels in nearly half a year is understandable.

But skills?

Li Yuan remembers very clearly that around the time of the college entrance examination, Lin Lanyue seemed to have just broken through to fourth-stage skills.

Because her college entrance examination skill score was full marks.

But in just a few months, he has already improved to the mid-tier of the Fourth Stage?

"Sure enough, one cannot underestimate anyone." Li Yuan thinks to himself, and he is also quite happy for his friend's progress.

Time passes day by day, and in a blink of an eye, September passes, and October arrives.

The weather is no longer hot.

Cultural universities have a four-day holiday in October, but martial arts universities only have a two-day holiday.

Li Yuan rarely takes a flying vehicle with Gu Qianghan and the others to 'Fengjing', the provincial capital of Longxi Province, to relax for a day.

"Must listen to Uncle's advice."

"After three months of bitter cultivation, occasionally relaxing for a day is not a bad thing." Li Yuan thinks this way: "Cultivation must also be balanced."

On October 2nd, Li Yuan returns to Kunlun Martial University in advance.

Inside the villa, in the underground martial arts room.

"Stellar Enlightenment."

Li Yuan is immersed in spear technique cultivation, engaging in crazy combat with the level 21 actual combat coach in front of him.

It is mainly Li Yuan attacking and the coach defending.

Dawn Piercing Clouds, Galaxy Falling Waterfall, Meteor Falling from the Sky... the killing moves of the Stellar Spear Technique, after being practiced thousands of times, have long been carved into Li Yuan's bones and are now being constantly displayed.

"Clang!"

"Clang!" "Clang!" The actual combat coach holds dual shields, blocking every one of Li Yuan's attacks like lightning.

His skill level is not yet catching up to Li Yuan's.

But relying on his super-high physical fitness, he can easily block Li Yuan's attacks.

"Twelve Consecutive Strikes." Li Yuan erupts completely, and his whole body's Qi and blood seem to be boiling.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The spear light is continuous and vast, like a tide, one spear higher than the other, and the spear shadows stabbed out are vaguely blurry.

Too fast.

If he were to encounter the former 'level 14.1 Rock Desert Tribe Leader' now, he would be killed by Li Yuan in one encounter.

In the blink of an eye.

The twelve consecutive strikes erupt to the limit, and Li Yuan's essence, energy, and spirit reach their peak.

At this moment, his whole person becomes extremely excited.

"Die!" Li Yuan launches the final strike, feeling his whole body extremely comfortable. Without the slightest pause, the long spear in his hand dances, creating spear shadows all over the sky.

Every spear seems real.

Every spear also seems illusory.

In an instant, the spear shadows definitely exceed forty, making the Source Martial Artist actual combat coach's eyes blur.

Stellar Spear Technique Fifth Style—Star War in the Wild!

"【Your spear technique realm has improved from fourth-stage 73% to fourth-stage 78%】"

"【Your fist technique realm has improved from fourth-stage 75% to fourth-stage 79%】" Two consecutive Divine Palace prompts flash by.

After two months of bitter cultivation, Li Yuan finally fully displayed the fifth style of the Stellar Spear Technique today!

"Clang!"

The only real, terrifying spear shadow traversed the long sky, actually piercing through the obstruction of two shields like a bolt of lightning, directly slamming into the chest of the combat instructor.

The terrifying impact of over ten thousand kilograms erupts, forcing the actual combat coach to subconsciously take a step back before unloading the force.

Both sides subconsciously stop.

"Powerful."

Coach Peng sighs sincerely: "Li Yuan, the power of this spear of yours is far superior to before. I actually couldn't block it."

"Brother Peng, you're joking." Li Yuan smiles: "That's because your strength and speed didn't fully erupt. Otherwise, no matter how fast my spear is, could it be faster than you?"

For a level 21 Source Martial Artist, the fist strength eruption exceeds 120,000 kilograms.

Under the operation of Source Power, their bodies are stronger than steel.

A first-rank martial artist and a second-rank Source Martial Artist are simply not the same concept.

"Physical fitness is nothing; it can be improved sooner or later. Skills are the foundation." Coach Peng sighs: "Li Yuan, your spear technique is probably not far from mental micro-perception."

Li Yuan smiles slightly, his peripheral vision glancing over his Divine Palace panel.

——

【Life Layer: Level 13.8 (First Rank)】

Fist Strength: 7329 kg

Speed: 40.9 m/s

Spiritual Power: Level 22.9

Spiritual Awakening Degree: 25% (Current upper limit 25%, physical fitness is not strong enough to bear spiritual guidance)

Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fourth-stage 78%), Movement Technique (Fourth-stage 69%), Fist Technique (Fourth-stage 79%)

【Note: When the spiritual awakening degree reaches 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, and 125%, you will gradually receive spiritual guidance.】

"The five stellar styles are all comprehended. Next, as long as I cultivate continuously, I will gradually reach fourth-stage 90%." Li Yuan has an epiphany.

It seems that the spear technique is only at fourth-stage 78%, but Li Yuan understands in his heart that he is getting closer and closer to mental micro-perception.

"Physical fitness level 13.8, at most half a month, I can reach level 14." Li Yuan is quite expectant in his heart.

...... At ten o'clock in the evening, Li Yuan had long since sent the actual combat coach away, and he is still cultivating in the martial arts room.

Suddenly.

Li Yuan's smart ring vibrates, and he looks down.

"Huh? School notification?" Li Yuan reaches out and clicks, and a light screen appears, showing the specific content of the notification.

"Ten-School Freshman Battle (Virtual Battle), invitation notification." Li Yuan mutters to himself: "I will serve as a 'seeded player' for Kunlun Martial University?"

"Directly enter the second round?"
