Chapter 199: Dean Hai

Before coming to the Haixu Star Realm, Li Yuan had communicated with Li Yang and knew the general situation of the Global University Martial Arts Competition's virtual battle.

Normally, there are at least ten or so students who can reach the fifth stage of skills, and at most nearly thirty; the situation varies every year, and the number of people varies.

Precisely because of this, Li Yang said at the time that Li Yuan had just broken through, and it would be considered a success if he could break into the top twenty.

At that time, Li Yuan also agreed with Li Yang's words.

Now?

"Looking at the world, among freshmen to juniors, there might be a batch of fifth-stage skill students." Li Yuan's eyes had a wisp of light: "But one whose mental strength has transformed to the Flying Heaven level? I'm afraid there isn't a second one."

Li Yuan knew very well that from Rank-Two to Rank-Three is a fundamental transformation of life layers; wanting to break through directly relying on external treasures? There is this probability, but it is extremely, extremely difficult.

Normally, for a top-tier Yuan martial artist to take a 'Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruit' and have their mental strength transform to the Flying Heaven level, the probability is very low.

Li Yuan could do it.

First, this Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruit was extremely special, pushing his mental strength directly from level 28.4 to 29.9.

Secondly, there was the mutation of the Heart Spirit Palace, and finally, Li Yuan used his powerful willpower to withstand the mutation.

Plus a bit of luck.

Only then did he transform and break through.

"Harmonizing with heaven and earth at all times, my spirit is a hundred times stronger than in the past, which makes my spear technique progress very fast; all I lack is time." Li Yuan thought silently: "According to the schedule I checked before, the final battle of the virtual battle is at the end of February."

"There is about a month left."

"Perhaps, I can push my spear technique into the fifth-stage intermediate level." Li Yuan's eyes had a hint of expectation.

Compared to the fifth-stage primary level, the overall power of the fifth-stage intermediate spear technique will be much stronger.

"In the plan."

"There are still four days before I leave; before I go, I'll accumulate some spiritual nutrients." Li Yuan glanced at the Heart Spirit Palace panel.

Spiritual awakening level 30.3%, still far from the spiritual awakening limit of 40%.

"Where to go?"

Li Yuan clicked on the smart ring watch to check the status in the Haixu Star Realm, mainly near Base No. 3.

"Here it is."

"Magic Insect Cave, about 700 kilometers away from Outpost Base No. 3." Li Yuan determined the location: "It is inhabited by the Bloodthirsty Magic Insect tribe, with a huge number, and it is a major threat to Outpost Base No. 3; it is even suspected to hide a Rank-Two magic insect."

"In the past, Outpost Base No. 3 also tried to wipe it out many times, but the Magic Insect Cave environment is complex, with numerous nests; unless a large-scale mechanical legion is sent to kill inside, it is very difficult to wipe them out." Li Yuan checked the various intelligence information about the Magic Insect Cave: "Plus, it is relatively far from the outpost base."

"Therefore, they gave up on clearing it, only leaving an Observation Point 14 on the periphery."

Li Yuan revealed a smile.

The cave environment is complex? His mental strength is powerful, his perception ability is astonishing, and what he fears least is a complex environment.

Huge number? What he wants is a huge number.

"Before leaving."

"I'll solve some trouble for the outpost base as much as possible, and kill more magic insects." Li Yuan thought to himself: "After all, I don't know when I'll come back next time."

After returning this time, he will definitely break through to become a Yuan martial artist quickly; unless the Haixu Star Realm entrance expands into a 'Tier-Two Star Realm', he will never be able to come back.

An hour later.

Li Yuan, fully armed, left Outpost Base No. 3 and went to the Magic Insect Cave alone.

When Li Yuan went to the Magic Insect Cave and began his final tempering before leaving the Star Realm.

Xia Nation, Kunlun Martial University, it was daytime, and at this moment the cold wind was biting, and ice and snow covered the earth.

Deep in the Sixth Academy villa area.

In the ice and snow.

Whoosh!

Li Yang braved the wind and snow, turning into a stream of light, flying through the villas, and saw Dean Hai fishing by the lake from afar.

Windbreak, big fur coat, small stove... plus a few attendants serving him.

"Old Hai is really good at enjoying himself." Li Yang complained in his heart.

Whoosh!

Li Yang landed on the snow, his steps became much lighter, and he walked to Dean Hai, quite respectfully: "Dean Hai."

"You're here?" Dean Hai didn't even lift his eyelids, said faintly: "You said you had important matters about Li Yuan to report to me? What is it? I remember his Star Realm roaming is almost over."

"Yes."

Li Yang said solemnly: "It's almost over; according to the previous plan, he should return from the Haixu Star Realm within five days. You should have heard about the 'Yuan crystal vein' discovered in the Haixu Star Realm."

"Uh..." A trace of confusion flashed in Dean Hai's eyes, but he remained calm on the surface: "I know."

"Good, then I'll make a long story short." Li Yang said: "This vein, Li Yuan is the first discoverer, and the main official of that Haixu Star Realm is my classmate; he has been presiding over the great battle with the Tianliang race base and didn't have time to report it... only today did he send back his life-and-death roaming scores, process, and evaluation."

"Oh? What evaluation?" Dean Hai said.

"150 points." Li Yang said solemnly.

"150?" Dean Hai finally turned his head, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Under normal circumstances, a life-and-death roaming can be rated 80 points, which is not bad.

150 points? That means all hidden scores were given full marks, representing excellence beyond compare.

Normally, the official in charge of the review wouldn't speak so definitively.

"Li Yuan just arrived..." Li Yang immediately began to report in detail the entire process of Li Yuan in the Haixu Star Realm.

When he first started listening, Dean Hai was still very calm, but when he heard Li Yuan's body was level 19.

He was stunned for a moment, turned his head and asked suspiciously: "Didn't say it wrong, level 19? Isn't he only level 16.5? Even if a month has passed, he would at most reach level 17."

"It's level 19, that's right." Li Yang nodded heavily: "That's not the point."

"That's not the point?" Dean Hai held back and listened patiently.

When he heard Li Yuan and Senior Liu Jing cooperating to fight the three Rank-Two powerhouses in Flying Snake Valley and seizing the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruit... Dean Hai already had a trace of shock in his heart.

A freshman doing this?

Clearly just going to roam life and death, how does it sound like he became the top combat power of the outpost base?

And finally, when Li Yang reported 'Li Yuan's mental strength has broken through to the Flying Heaven level'.

Dean Hai was completely shocked: "This Senior Liu Jing isn't writing nonsense, right? Li Yuan's mental strength reached the Flying Heaven level? He reached the Flying Heaven level after eating one Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruit?"

"Dean, I also thought Senior Liu Jing was drunk when I first heard it." Li Yang also smiled bitterly: "But I asked repeatedly, it's true... Li Yuan's mental attack, Senior Liu Jing's mental strength comparable to a top-tier Yuan martial artist couldn't withstand it, and he would have a short loss of focus."

Dean Hai was shocked inside, is he that strong?

Afterwards, when he heard Li Yuan, Senior Liu Jing, and the others fighting the three major powerhouses of the Tianliang race, Dean Hai felt a bit numb instead.

Even mental strength had reached the Flying Heaven level, so this performance didn't count for much.

"Dean, what should we do?" Li Yang asked at the right time.

"No need to do anything." Dean Hai's face had already returned to calm: "Isn't it just Flying Heaven level mental strength? What's so strange about it? Flying Heaven martial artists all have it."

Li Yang was stunned for a moment.

"Alright." Dean Hai shook his head: "Good heavens, is it necessary to be so panicked as a vice dean?"

Li Yang felt increasingly speechless, and nodded: "Yes."

"Run a trip, go to Jiangnan Province to pick up Li Yuan." Dean Hai said suddenly.

"I'm going to pick him up again?" Li Yang was stunned for a moment.

Did he become an errand runner?

"After you go, first verify whether the report is true, and secondly, be sure to send Li Yuan back to school safely." Dean Hai glanced at Li Yang: "If Li Yuan has an accident, don't be this vice dean anymore."

"Understood." Li Yang said solemnly; he didn't understand Dean Hai's meaning yet.

Li Yuan is too important.

If the report is true? With this kind of talent, it can be called the first tier in the history of Kunlun Martial University.

"Go, don't bother me fishing." Dean Hai waved his hand, continuing to lie on the chair, his eyes fixed on the lake, looking like a high-level expert.

"Yes."

"I'll go prepare, and set off for Jiangnan Province the day after tomorrow." Li Yang nodded respectfully and left quickly.

Half an hour passed.

Several attendants were preparing fruits.

"Has he gone far?" Dean Hai said faintly.

Several attendants were stunned for a moment, and an experienced attendant said: "Dean, Vice Dean Li has long gone far."

"Damn, how can he be so perverted, his mental strength is already Flying Heaven level?" Dean Hai jumped up abruptly and muttered.

He threw the fishing rod and flew into the villa room in the distance.

Leaving several attendants looking at each other.

They were a new batch.

In their hearts, a Flying Heaven martial artist should be transcendent and truly have the demeanor of a master.

"You guys, just get used to it." The only old attendant laughed, slashing the melon and fruit in half with a knife.

"This Flying Heaven martial artist."

"He is also a human!"

Inside the villa, on the big sofa.

"Li Yuan's matter is like this."

Dean Hai said to the communication: "Flying Heaven level mental strength, and he is only level 19 physical fitness at such a young age... Old Fang, you must grasp it."

"I've been a dean for decades, this is the best seedling."

"It can also be called the best seedling in your twenty years as principal." Dean Hai rambled: "If you don't cultivate him well, I won't agree."

"Understood." A faint voice came from the communication: "Wait until Li Yang has thoroughly verified it, then tell me again, I will consider it, I'm busy first."

Beep~ The communication hung up.

"You..." Dean Hai, who was preparing to continue speaking, was stunned for several seconds, and suddenly burst out: "Damn, you can pretend even better than me."

Two days later, Li Yang took a large aircraft and rushed to Jiangnan Province.

January 29th.

Haixu Star Realm, the sky outside is like white day, but inside the Magic Insect Cave, it is dim, even called dark.

Deep in the crack of the cave, which is more than ten miles long.

About 800 meters from the ground, there is almost no sunlight, incomparably humid.

On both sides of the crack, there are hundreds of magic insect corpses, each one having its head exploded by a spear.

Tragic and incomparable.

"You finally came out."

"I didn't expect there to be a Rank-Two magic insect here." The figure covered in a pitch-black combat suit, holding a long spear, said faintly: "Not in vain for me to come here."

"Chirrup"

"Chirrup~" More than a hundred meters away, a huge figure lying down like an enlarged version of a mantis, its height was two meters, much higher than a normal person.

The body length exceeded five meters.

The most eye-catching thing was its four terrifying front claws like sharp blades, which didn't know how many creatures it had slaughtered.

"Ang~" The Rank-Two magic insect's eyes stared fixedly at the spear-holding figure, with countless anger in its heart to be poured out.

It really didn't want to come out; for the past two days, it had been secretly commanding the magic insects to besiege this outsider.

But!

The other party was too powerful, as if he could predict the future; any ambush had no effect, and one Rank-One magic insect after another fell.

Heavy casualties.

In just two or three days, the number of magic insects that died at the other party's hands exceeded a thousand.

Most importantly, in this incomparably complex cave, the other party could easily find the correct safe passage... and now had approached the final brood nest.

No way, this Rank-Two magic insect had to come out.

If it let the other party continue to slaughter, I'm afraid the brood nest would be destroyed.

"Ang~"

The Rank-Two magic insect roared low, abruptly shaking its wings, its hind limbs exerted force, and its huge body turned into a stream of light and rushed towards Li Yuan.

Four sharp claws, like four terrifying battle blades, swept over continuously.

"Well come." Li Yuan's eyes lit up, his whole body's strength operating.

Erupting completely.

"Clang!" "Clang! Clang!" Colliding like lightning time and time again, Li Yuan's long spear was continuous and vast, like a star that could not be shaken, easily blocking the Rank-Two magic insect's repeated attacks.

In terms of power and speed, Li Yuan was a large margin weaker than the other party.

In terms of the number of weapons, he was also at a disadvantage.

But relying on powerful skills and movement techniques, Li Yuan stubbornly blocked the Rank-Two magic insect's repeated crazy attacks.

"Enjoyable!"

"Faster! More stable! Heavier!" Li Yuan's eyes seemed to be burning with flames, his fighting spirit soaring to the sky.

This Rank-Two magic insect had a physical fitness as high as level 22.2.

Just in terms of threat level, it was greater than the Rank-Two Flying Snake that Li Yuan killed before.

But compared to half a month ago, Li Yuan's strength was also more powerful.

Rapidly, the two sides fought for hundreds of rounds, intense to the extreme.

"Enough."

"Four sharp claws, like four battle blades continuous and unending, the pressure is astonishing; it is truly born for battle." Li Yuan's eyes were bright: "If I really fight on, I might not necessarily win."

"Pity."

Boom! Li Yuan's eyes condensed like an abyss, and a vast wave erupted abruptly.

Like a river impact, it suddenly impacted the Rank-Two magic insect's heart and mind consciousness.

Mental secret technique 'Soul Shaker', directly smashing it into a daze.

"Wow!"

The long spear in Li Yuan's hand erupted abruptly, directly performing the second style of the Starry Sky Spear Technique—Galaxy Waterfall Twelve Consecutive Strikes.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!

As Li Yuan thrust out his sixth spear.

When Li Yuan stabbed the sixth spear.

The Rank-Two magic insect finally regained consciousness, a trace of horror flashed in its eyes, only feeling bursts of severe pain sweeping through its whole body, just wanting to retreat backward.

"Puff!"

A long spear like a meteor, driving straight in, stabbed fiercely, blood splashing.

No matter how tough the Yuan Force is, it is ultimately inferior to the Yuan Force combat suit, and it is impossible to block Li Yuan's six consecutive attacks at the same point.

Whoosh! The long spear pierced through and then withdrew.

Li Yuan held the spear and flew backward, looking vigilantly at this Rank-Two magic insect, guarding against the other party's dying struggle.

"【You killed a Rank-Two organism, obtained spiritual nutrients, spiritual awakening level raised to 37.3%】" A Heart Spirit Palace prompt flashed.

An hour later.

Li Yuan, who had scavenged the entire Magic Insect Cave 'brood nest'.

Carrying a large backpack, he crawled out of the cave crack, covered in dust.

"Time to go home." Li Yuan's eyes were bright, and he strode towards Outpost Base No. 3.
