Chapter 168: Geniuses Like Clouds (54,000 Monthly Ticket Bonus)

"Life-saving item?" Li Yuan looked at the box in Dean Li's hand.

At first glance, it was no different from an ordinary wooden box.

Clang~ Li Yang opened the wooden box.

Suddenly, a strange fragrance drifted out from the box, and a crystal clear purple elixir floated in front of Li Yuan.

It was very small, only the size of a little finger, but just that strange fragrance made people involuntarily give birth to the desire to swallow it.

"Teacher, this is?" Li Yuan couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Its original name is 'Source Purple Longevity Pill', implying that with it, it's as if you have an extra life." Li Yang looked at the elixir in the box and sighed a little. "However, we Source Martial Artists are used to calling it 'Life-Saving Pill'."

"Its effect is very simple."

"Once you are seriously injured, even if your internal organs are broken, as long as you take it within a very short time, you can recover quickly." Li Yang said softly. "Of course, the head is a fatal weakness and cannot be injured."

"Except for the head, everything else can be recovered, including the heart."

"Even the heart can be recovered after being injured?" Li Yuan was shocked to hear this, looking at the purple elixir.

What kind of medicine is this?

"It has three flaws." Li Yang said. "The first is that the medicinal power is limited, and it is not very helpful to Flying Heaven martial artists, only working for those below Flying Heaven martial artists."

Li Yuan listened.

This was not surprising. If it had such an effect on Flying Heaven martial artists, it would definitely be a true divine medicine.

"The second is that it is rare, the quantity is extremely rare, and many Source Martial Artists have probably never heard of it." Li Yang looked at Li Yuan. "I don't know its manufacturing path very well, but it is a non-sale item, and you can hardly find its trace in normal purchasing channels."

Li Yuan nodded involuntarily. Indeed, his permission in the Starfire Martial Hall was quite good.

But he had never heard of it.

"The third is that its function is to recover injuries, but it cannot detoxify." Li Yang said solemnly. "So, when facing some aliens with highly toxic substances, you must be careful."

"The Star Realm is vast, and all kinds of poisons are very common. If you are not careful, you will be poisoned."

"Understood." Li Yuan nodded. Poison?

Teacher Xu Bo died because of the poison in the Star Realm.

Uncle Li Zhangzhou was also almost killed by the poison of the Star Realm... In fact, every year, a large number of ordinary people and martial artists in human civilization die in the Star Realm due to poisoning.

There is no way, there are many Star Realms, and they are in contact with various alien civilizations. All kinds of poisons are strange and impossible to guard against.

"Put it away." Li Yang said. "Remember, its fragrance is very special, and it is easy to detect with the keen perception of Source Martial Artists, so it is best to hide it in the inner layer of the 'Source Power Battle Suit' to completely isolate it."

"Once you need to use it, take it out of the battle suit with a thought." Li Yang told Li Yuan the method of use.

"Yes." Li Yuan nodded and reached out to take the Source Purple Longevity Pill from the box.

Hum~

A strand of black light seeped out from Li Yuan's palm, like liquid, rolling away the Source Purple Longevity Pill, and it had already disappeared.

The fragrance drifting in the surrounding air also dissipated rapidly.

"Good." Li Yang nodded. "This is the first thing, the second is about your skill crossing into the fifth stage."

"You are the same."

"Last time when the skill reached the fourth stage high-level, you didn't tell me, this teacher, the first time, and this time it is the same." Li Yang smiled helplessly. "Do you look down on me, this teacher, so much? Every time it is told to me by others."

"Teacher, my fault." Li Yuan admitted his mistake immediately.

But Li Yuan was also very helpless in his heart. He broke through every time he just broke through.

"You broke through so fast, not only beyond my expectations, but probably beyond everyone's prediction of you." Li Yang smiled again. "The progress speed from the fourth stage to the fifth stage alone is too fast. You are slightly faster than Fang Hai back then."

"Slightly faster?" Li Yuan was stunned.

The time he spent from the fourth stage to the fifth stage was less than half of Fang Hai's, right?

"Don't think I'm wrong?" Li Yang smiled slightly. "Yes, you are much faster in terms of time alone, but you have to understand one point, your physical fitness has exceeded level 15, and your mental power has long rivaled Source Martial Artists."

"And Fang Hai was only 16 years old when he broke through to the fifth stage, and his physical fitness was only level 8." Li Yang sighed. "He is not a mental power talent."

"Level 8?" Li Yuan already understood Li Yang's meaning.

Enlightenment, mental power, and temperament are all complementary.

Temperament is the most difficult to figure out, let's not talk about it for now.

Enlightenment is the most mysterious, and it has to do with a person's soul essence, acquired experience, and many other aspects.

But mental power can be quantified.

The improvement of mental power will cause a person's thinking operation speed, calculation ability, perception ability, etc., to constantly improve.

Simply put, in martial arts cultivation, mental power is an 'amplifier' of a person's enlightenment talent, it is the foundation.

A person, if physical fitness and mental power are only level 5, then, no matter how high his enlightenment talent is, his skills cannot reach the fifth stage.

Just like a chef, no matter how high his cooking skills are, if there are no ingredients, he cannot make a big meal.

But similarly, even if a person's enlightenment is very low, but if his mental power can reach level 29, practicing slowly, there will be no great difficulty in improving his skills to the fourth stage.

Fang Hai, when physical fitness was level 8, mental power must have been average, but his skills could reach the fifth stage.

His high enlightenment can be seen.

Therefore, back then, it could cause such a big sensation.

"Of course, your mental power is also your talent." Li Yang smiled. "Synthetically, you are now very close to Fang Hai back then."

"Xia Nation has listed you as a genius of the same level as Yu Jinghe."

"Below Flying Heaven martial artists, you two are the most valued by the Xia Nation high-level." Li Yang sighed.

Li Yuan nodded slightly, this was already an extremely high degree of recognition.

"Yu Jinghe already has the strength of a Flying Heaven martial artist, enough to protect himself, and no one has ideas about him." Li Yang said. "And you, although your strength is already close to a Source Martial Artist, it is far from enough... You have to know that there are alien spies in our human civilization."

"Alien spies?" Li Yuan's heart tightened.

He heard teachers talk about it in school general knowledge classes, but he hadn't seen it yet.

"These alien spies, one kind is aliens lurking in, after all, some alien civilizations look very similar to us humans, and some are even humans." Li Yang said. "Another kind is human traitors bought by aliens... Because of the full-network monitoring of the virtual network, they will not be easily exposed, mostly just collecting data."

"Some alien spies have not yet started a war with our human civilization and will not target you."

"But a few aliens, wanting to destroy us and then be happy, for example, the 'alien civilization' behind the Luo Bu Sea Star Realm, if their high-level knows your talent, I am afraid they will assassinate you at all costs." Li Yang said solemnly. "Before, your value was at most equivalent to a top Source Martial Artist."

"So, even if they know of your existence, they will not easily target you, and the Starfire Nanhu residential area where you live is considered safe."

"But now, your status is barely comparable to a Flying Heaven martial artist." Li Yang sighed.

Flying Heaven martial artist? Li Yuan was surprised in his heart.

This evaluation was already shockingly high.

A genius is just a genius, and a Flying Heaven martial artist is already a true powerhouse.

It seems that his skill breakthrough to the fifth stage has indeed shocked the Xia Nation and even the Starfire Martial Hall high-level.

"Now those who know your skill breakthrough to the fifth stage, in the school, there are me, Xu Yuanzhang, Dean Hai, and the principal." Li Yang said. "Then there are a few high-level people in the Starfire Martial Hall and Starry Sky Martial Hall who know, but your data has been sealed."

"Well, Tantai Feng might be informed, which is a way to encourage him." Li Yang said. "After all, he is also highly valued by the Xia Nation high-level."

"But like Fei Qian, like other teachers in the school, they don't know, don't leak it yourself for the time being."

"Understood." Li Yuan nodded.

All this should be to prevent sudden attacks by alien spies.

"Teacher, then how long do we have to hide it?" Li Yuan could not help but ask.

"Not too long, just until the end of February." Li Yang smiled. "At the Global University Martial Arts Competition, it doesn't matter if it's exposed."

"By then, you stay in the school, absolutely safe."

"And according to your cultivation speed, you will soon become a Source Martial Artist." Li Yang said. "Once you become a Source Martial Artist, combined with your skills, your strength will be greatly improved, and even if aliens want to assassinate you, it will be difficult."

"After all, they can't really mobilize Flying Heaven-level to assassinate you, the cost is too great."

"Blue Star is ultimately the territory of our human civilization. It is extremely difficult for aliens to lurk a Flying Heaven-level existence, and they will not be exposed unless it is a last resort." Li Yang was quite confident.

Li Yuan listened silently.

Listening to the teacher, there are actually hidden Flying Heaven-level spies inside human civilization?

Just thinking about it makes one's hair stand on end.

"With your skill level, wait until the Global University Martial Arts Competition in February, if you are lucky, you might be able to rush into the top ten." Li Yang smiled.

"Lucky, to be able to rush into the top ten?" Li Yuan listened to the teacher's words.

"Why? Not convinced?"

Li Yang couldn't help but smile. "If it's just the Global Freshman Battle, you are naturally the undisputed number one, even Tantai Feng is no longer your opponent."

"But the virtual battle of the Global University Martial Arts Competition is open to all students in freshman, sophomore, and junior years."

"The students of the three major top martial arts schools, indeed, few have skill talent that can catch up with you."

"But those sophomore and junior students, who have cultivated for a few more years, many are already Source Martial Artists... The rapid improvement of the foundation makes the probability of their skills crossing into the fifth stage much higher."

"At least as far as I know, there are fifth-stage skill martial arts geniuses in the junior year of the three major top martial arts schools, and there is more than one." Li Yang said solemnly. "Their sophomore students might also have fifth-stage skills."

"Adding them all up, there are more than a dozen."

"Besides the three major top martial arts schools, those local martial arts universities, although the students generally don't have high talent, they win because the quantity is large enough, and occasionally peerless geniuses will emerge." Li Yang said. "Even our Kunlun Martial University, besides you, has a fifth-stage genius."

"Senior Brother Jin?" Li Yuan reacted.

"Well, he broke through after your Ten Schools Freshman Battle." Li Yang nodded. "From fourth-stage skill to fifth-stage skill, he spent more than two years."

"So."

"In the virtual battle of the Global University Martial Arts Competition, the number of fifth-stage skill students adds up to about twenty, some years more, some years less."

Li Yuan thought thoughtfully.

Like Guan Ying, Yu Ming, Garava, etc., of his own year, it is not impossible to cross into fifth-stage skills in two years.

Tantai Feng? It is even more highly probable to break through in the next year or two.

Time, indeed, has amazing magic.

"This competition should be separated by age." Li Yuan could not help but sigh. "Otherwise, it's too unfair to freshmen."

"Haven't you thought that it was deliberately arranged like this?" Li Yang smiled. "The original intention is to let every year's so-called top geniuses suffer some bitterness and temper their temperament."

"Secondly, it is also because the rewards of the Global University Martial Arts Competition are extremely good... There are only so many quotas, so it is integrated and held together." Li Yang said.

Li Yuan suddenly realized, so that's how it is.

"Regardless of others, if Tantai Feng can break through, he will have some hope." Li Yang said. "It is important for you to focus on yourself."

"My expectation for you is to rush into the top ten of the virtual battle."

"There are still two months, enough for your strength to improve a lot." Li Yang smiled. "If you can rush into the top ten, the rewards will be beyond your imagination."

"Yes." Li Yuan nodded.

Top ten?

His main opponents are those martial arts geniuses in global universities whose skills have broken through to the fifth stage.

"Finally, it is about the Mingxu Star Realm."

"The day after tomorrow, you will set off." Li Yang said. "The school has arranged it, you just need to enter from the No. 3 entrance."

"The life-and-death roaming time is one month."

"After one month, return to school as soon as possible." Li Yang entrusted. "During the life-and-death roaming, the school has forged a new identity for you, you just need to disguise your appearance slightly... Therefore, if it is at a critical moment, it doesn't matter if you erupt fifth-stage skills."

"Understood." Li Yuan nodded.

Although he has some fame, it is limited to Jiangcheng, at most within Jiangbei Province, and there are very few who can recognize him quickly.

Just like Li Yuan himself, he would not deliberately pay attention to the appearance of those war heroes.

Not long after, Li Yang and Xu Yuanzhang left.

Li Yuan's life returned to peace again. For the last two days, he had more patience to accompany his uncle and aunt.

Two days later.

Qixing Calendar January 1, 2044.

Li Yuan was fully armed and said goodbye to his family.

"Uncle, Aunt, I am going to Flying Star this time to accept special training, and I can't contact Blue Star within a month." Li Yuan smiled. "After I return from Flying Star, I will contact you again."

This is the excuse Li Yuan found.

He did not want his uncle and aunt to worry.

"One month? Can't contact for so long? Won't there be danger?" Chen Hui had a trace of worry on her face.

"Go, going to Flying Star is definitely a rare opportunity, that is the cultivation holy land of the entire human civilization." Li Zhangzhou smiled. "Don't worry about home."

Using the fake identity 'Xu An', Li Yuan took a special aircraft through the Starfire Martial Hall channel.

Rushed to the Mingxu Star Realm.

"Mingxu Star Realm, actually has four stable entrances, and occasionally some unstable entrances appear." Li Yuan looked at the data in his hand, secretly shocked. "It's similar to the Fish-Spirit Star Realm."

Fish-Spirit Star Realm, the entrance stretches for hundreds of miles, is unstable, and often appears deep underground, impossible to guard against.

Half a day later.

Li Yuan arrived at the 'Mingxu Star Realm No. 3 Entrance' located in Jiangnan Province.
