Chapter 145: Fist Power 15,000 Kilograms

After hanging up the communication with Provincial Hall Master Yang Xian, Dean Hai sat in the martial arts room, closing his eyes in thought.

Gradually.

On Dean Hai's body, a trace of blue light faintly appeared and flickered; these lights contained strands of strange power, making his whole person seem shrouded in a layer of hazy brilliance.

Very dazzling, as if a god had descended.

Not long after.

"Dean Hai, Li Yuan has arrived." Li Yang's slightly respectful voice sounded at the door.

"Let Li Yuan in." Dean Hai opened his eyes, the blue brilliance covering his whole body quickly retracted and dissipated, and his aura returned to normal.

Light footsteps sounded outside the door.

Li Yuan walked into this small martial arts room, quite respectfully: "Dean Hai."

Toward a Flying Martial Artist, Li Yuan felt incomparably respectful in his heart.

"Come over and sit down, don't be restrained." Dean Hai said faintly.

"Yes." Li Yuan walked to the front and sat down honestly, just like last time.

Li Yang closed the door.

The room quieted down.

"I watched your match with Tantai Feng." Dean Hai's eyes were gentle, revealing a smile: "To have such a performance, not only were Dean Li and Dean Xu surprised, even I was astonished."

"Your excellence exceeds our expectations."

"Dean, you overpraise." Li Yuan said immediately.

"Not overpraising, I never exaggerate when I praise." Dean Hai smiled faintly: "Technique reaching Mind Entering Micro just after turning eighteen…… at least in the ten-plus years I've served as Dean of the Six Colleges, I haven't seen anyone else in the school reach it besides you."

Li Yuan was dumbfounded.

"The better you perform, the more you will be valued, so don't be afraid to reveal your strength." Dean Hai smiled slightly: "This time you ranked second in the Ten-School Freshman Battle, you are qualified to receive a 'Heavenly Treasure' reward."

"Although the top four can all receive rewards, the higher the ranking, the better the reward."

"Now, let's proceed with the selection."

Dean Hai tapped his smart ring, and a light screen projection appeared.

Followed closely.

Whoosh~ A large amount of light gathered in the martial arts room, finally forming a huge light screen projection in front of Li Yuan, over three meters long and over two meters high.

On it were a large number of words and patterns.

"High-Source treasures, body transformation treasures, body cultivation treasures, Source Power secret treasures, spiritual treasures, toxic treasures, biological young beasts, mineral treasures, unknown efficacy treasures……" Li Yuan scanned it, and immediately had a large number of treasure categories.

Very complex.

There were many terms that Li Yuan didn't understand the meaning of.

"So-called Heavenly Treasures are some rare treasures nurtured between heaven and earth."

"Most of these treasures need a 'High-Source Environment', which is a high-concentration Source Power environment to be nurtured." Dean Hai seemed to see Li Yuan's confusion and explained: "Our entire Seven Star Sea didn't have Source Power initially…… therefore, there are very few Heavenly Treasures produced in our Seven Star Sea."

Li Yuan listened, these were secrets he hadn't known before.

"Many alien civilizations, the worlds they live in, have Source Power concentrations far exceeding ours, so many rare treasures are born."

"Even under long-term Source Power nurturing, generation after generation of reproduction has made many alien life forms possess powerful strength from birth, like the Black Dragon I mentioned to you last time, and even more powerful creatures; their essence is for this reason." Dean Hai was quite patient.

Li Yuan suddenly realized, so that was the reason.

"There are even more special regions."

"Star Realms." Dean Hai said: "As special zones where different civilization spaces intersect, many Star Realms have nurtured incredible treasures…… This is also the reason why a large number of alien civilizations want to wage wars with our human civilization in various Star Realms."

"In essence, we are fighting for resources."

"Like a large number of ordinary martial artists, the Qi-Blood Potions, Source Power Essence Pills, etc., they eat are mostly produced from Star Realms we have occupied." Dean Hai said faintly.

Li Yuan listened attentively.

He had heard some information before, but many were things he knew for the first time.

"There are also special metals, like the 'Source Power Battle Suit' that Source Martial Artists rely on most." Dean Hai said: "In essence, these are all Heavenly Treasures."

"It's just that because many treasures have gradually become popularized, the public doesn't feel they are precious. If we want to be accurate, the ones you have come into contact with, such as Source Power Essence Pills, First-Stage Qi-Blood Potions, Cleansing Marrow Spirit Marrow, etc., all belong to First-Stage treasures."

"And things like High-Source Spirit Spring, Nourishing Spirit Spring belong to Second-Stage treasures."

"Third-Stage treasures are many of what ordinary people recognize as 'Heavenly Treasures'; the quantity is small and it's difficult to stabilize mass production." Dean Hai said softly: "The ones you have come into contact with, like the Hundred Marrow Spirit Wither, is a marrow-cleansing rare treasure, belonging to the Third-Stage."

Li Yuan suddenly realized.

So, the Hundred Marrow Spirit Wither counts as a Third-Stage treasure; no wonder it's much more precious than High-Source Spirit Spring and the others.

"The quantity of Third-Stage treasures is limited, and many are very rare within our human civilization, possessing extremely special effects." Dean Hai said: "Among Third-Stage treasures, there is also a huge difference in value."

"The most precious ones, like the Transcending Mortal Fruit, just one portion is enough to make an ordinary person's body directly transform into a Source Martial Artist." Dean Hai said: "Like the Immortal Soul Nine-Turn Fruit, it can make an ordinary person's spiritual power directly transform to Level 29."

"If Flying Martial Artists use them, they are also of great benefit."

Li Yuan was dumbfounded.

Transcending Mortal Fruit? What kind of thing is so monstrous? Making someone directly become a Source Martial Artist?

And the Immortal Soul Nine-Turn Fruit, that's even more monstrous, spiritual power directly Level 29?

He had cultivated so hard for so long, and his spiritual power was only Level 23.

How long would it take to reach Level 29?

"Don't think about it, these things are all extinct; they've only appeared a few times in history." Dean Hai smiled: "Their value is a hundred or a thousand times that of a Hundred Marrow Spirit Wither…… they cannot be bought with money."

Li Yuan was dumbfounded, having nothing to say.

Money is very important, but it is a voucher used to measure the value of ordinary items.

Some rare treasures, or treasures that can attract even the top powerhouses of human civilization…… money doesn't have much meaning.

Those that can be measured by money are mostly treasures that can be continuously produced and have a stable supply.

"This time, you can choose a Third-Stage treasure." Dean Hai said: "But there is an upper limit to the value; the cheaper the thing you choose, the greater the quantity."

"The more expensive, the smaller the quantity." Dean Hai pointed to the dense options on the light screen, saying.

"I ask for the Dean's guidance." Li Yuan was very sensible.

These treasures, he had only occasionally heard of one or two; how could he choose the most correct one?

"If you ask me, then it's the Star Essence Crystal." Dean Hai said faintly.

Li Yuan was stunned.

Isn't this the Heavenly Treasure that Provincial Hall Master Yang Xian promised to give him?

"Heard of it?" Dean Hai smiled.

"Mm." Li Yuan nodded: "In the Martial Hall contract, there is a clause that if I reach the Fifth-Stage before age 20, the contract will be upgraded to S-level, and such a treasure will be gifted."

There was no need to hide this kind of secret from Dean Hai.

"Essence Crystal is a kind of rare treasure nurtured between heaven and earth, possessing many wonderful uses: strengthening the body, cultivating descendants, strengthening the soul, recovering from injuries…… the uses are extremely wide." Dean Hai explained: "There are also many types."

"You cultivate the 'Rock Cultivation Method', and since it fits this method, the Star Essence Crystal should be the most suitable for you."

"For normal martial arts geniuses, they have high-level cultivation methods, so choosing Heavenly Treasures that strengthen spiritual power is the best."

"But you don't need to."

"On the contrary, your body transformation and growth need it most." Dean Hai smiled: "Of course, this is my suggestion; how you choose specifically is your freedom."

"I will listen to the Dean." Li Yuan said immediately.

Suggestion?

When a leader gives a suggestion, it's best to treat it as an order, otherwise, a suggestion is just an opinion.

Moreover, Li Yuan also felt that what Dean Hai said made sense.

"Okay."

Dean Hai nodded slightly: "You ranked second this time, so you can exchange for 8 units of Star Essence Crystal."

"This thing cannot be placed in your residence; it's not safe. Every time you use it, apply in advance and use it in a special room in the Vermilion Bird Building." Dean Hai said: "I will have it arranged."

"Not safe?" Li Yuan was stunned.

"You have a few million or tens of millions of Blue Star coins in your card, and no one covets them." Dean Hai said faintly: "But these Heavenly Treasures are physical objects; selling them out could easily fetch over a hundred million Blue Star coins…… If given directly to you, and someone finds out, it's hard to guarantee that someone won't have evil intentions."

"If the treasure can't be kept, that's one thing, but your life might be lost."

"Remember, never test human nature."

"Yes." Li Yuan felt a chill in his heart.

That's right.

A treasure worth over a hundred million Blue Star coins, if it's lost…… the key is personal safety.

"There is one more thing."

"Today or tomorrow, Starfire Martial Hall should be looking for you to upgrade your contract from A-level to S-level." Dean Hai said softly: "The promised Star Essence Crystal, equivalent to 10 units, will also be prepared for you."

"Specifically, wait for the people from Starfire Martial Hall to contact you."

"Martial Hall's S-level contract?" Li Yuan was puzzled.

He didn't have any news at all; how did Dean Hai know?

"Do you have any other questions?" Dean Hai asked: "If not, go back."

Questions?

Pondered for a while.

"Dean, if a person has suffered great trauma to their body, leading to a shortened life expectancy, are there any Third-Stage treasures that can extend life?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"Your uncle?" Dean Hai smiled faintly.

Li Yuan was dumbfounded.

"I have read all your information." Dean Hai said calmly: "Yes, and there is more than one type."

Li Yuan's eyes lit up.

"It's just that they are all very expensive. Your uncle was poisoned by Flame Erosion Bone Poison…… it seems like the Flame Paulownia Spirit Spring cleared the poison…… but he is also weak and cannot withstand supplements; many rare treasures would have side effects instead, and might even be counterproductive." Dean Hai said: "The one with excellent effects and quite common is the 'Dragon Spirit Heart Fruit'; it is the most effective against Flame Erosion Bone Poison."

"If used, it is enough for your uncle's body to completely recover, without any hidden dangers, and his life expectancy will reach over 120 years."

"Dragon Spirit Heart Fruit? Life expectancy over 120 years?" Li Yuan was excited in his heart.

As expected!

Different strength, different vision.

Uncle Wan knew nothing about these, only knowing some rumors, but Dean Hai, as a Flying Martial Artist, could prescribe the right medicine.

"This thing."

"If measured by money, the value is at least over one billion Blue Star coins."

"And you have to find an opportunity to buy it." Dean Hai said slowly: "After all, restoring vitality is not its main use; many powerful martial artists need it."

One billion Blue Star coins? Li Yuan's heart sank.

Truly expensive!

"Thank you, Dean, for the information." Li Yuan said; no matter what, he at least knew a clue.

"By the way."

"Your spiritual power has exceeded Level 20, you can go choose a spiritual secret technique 'Condensing Spirit' and try to cultivate it first." Dean Hai suddenly said: "Wait until you become a Source Martial Artist and your spiritual power exceeds Level 25, then cultivate more spiritual secret techniques."

"Yes." Li Yuan nodded.

……

After Li Yuan left, the door closed gently.

"Dragon Spirit Heart Fruit?" Dean Hai muttered to himself, closing his eyes again.

Practicing silently.

With Dean Hai's strength and wealth, taking out such treasures wouldn't be difficult.

However, he wouldn't do so.

Even if a Flying Martial Artist thought highly of Li Yuan, no one would invest like this.

A treasure worth over one billion Blue Star coins, to save an ordinary person, and not even to save their life, but to extend their life?

This had already exceeded the conventional meaning of 'cultivation' and 'investment assistance'.

……

Not long after returning to the villa.

Li Yuan received a notification from the school, as well as a bank transfer notification.

"8 units of Star Essence Crystal, will be deposited in the 'School Treasury'?" Li Yuan read the document: "If I want to use it, apply one day in advance?"

"Will arrange a special room?" Li Yuan muttered to himself.

Li Yuan had to admit that Kunlun Martial Arts University's arrangement was very reasonable and also the safest.

As for the other transfer notification.

It was the '20 million' Blue Star coin reward for the Ten-School Freshman Battle.

"This will let me not worry about money for the next few months." Li Yuan revealed a smile.

Immediately.

His eyes scanned the smart ring, where there were a large number of messages from classmates and friends.

Most were asking or congratulating him on the results he achieved in the Ten-School Freshman Battle.

Like Tian Tian Dazhuang, Li Tianyou, etc., all sent messages.

After replying one by one.

"Continue practicing spear." Li Yuan put down the smart ring and practiced spear silently again.

"Mind Entering Micro is a realm."

"As long as I continue to practice and comprehend, spear technique and fist technique will quickly break through the Fourth-Stage 90% bottleneck." Li Yuan muttered: "Once fist technique breaks through Fourth-Stage 90%, my body evolution efficiency will improve by another large margin."

"Level 14?"

"At most one week, it should be reachable." Li Yuan was filled with expectation.

Once Level 14 is reached, he can perform spiritual guidance.

……

Practicing until past eight o'clock in the evening, using a portion of High-Source Spirit Spring in the middle.

Li Yuan finally stopped, his peripheral vision glancing at one of the lines in the God Palace panel:

Technique Realm: Spear Technique (Fourth-Stage 91%), Movement Technique (Fourth-Stage 84%), Fist Technique (Fourth-Stage 91%)

One day.

Finally completed the breakthrough.

"Mind Entering Micro! Now, my technique can truly be called Fourth-Stage Perfection. If I were to fight Tantai Feng now, it would be even harder for him to win against me." Li Yuan closed his eyes slightly, his mind sensing his whole body.

Powerful spiritual power, as if perfectly fitting and merging with his whole body's tendons, flesh, bones, etc.

Some hidden deep-seated dark injuries, and minute flesh injuries brought about by cultivation.

At this moment, all were clearly visible.

If he hadn't reached 'Mind Entering Micro', these injuries would accumulate, affecting body progress and even affecting life expectancy.

But now, with a thought in Li Yuan's mind, many minute dark injuries began to repair.

In the next few days, Li Yuan's body would become more energetic and stronger.

It could be said.

Without any treasures, every martial arts powerhouse who has Mind Entered Micro can keep their body functions at their peak for a long time.

"Strength!" Li Yuan came to the fist power testing ground, concentrating his mind.

Suddenly swung his fist fiercely.

At the moment of eruption, the countless minute strengths in his tendons, flesh, and bones were instantly mobilized by his mind power.

Whoosh!

A fist smashed fiercely onto the huge test sandbag.

"Bang!" A dull explosion sounded.

Instantly.

The screen above the fist power testing ground clearly displayed: "15224 kilograms (Action qualified)".
