Chapter 201: Martial God Inheritance

"Killing can obtain spiritual nutrients?" Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, suspecting he had misread it.

Without hesitation, Li Yuan used the Heart Spirit Palace investigation again; the display was still not wrong.

Alien race! These two words instantly appeared in Li Yuan's mind.

Li Yuan had thought about this problem; only by killing alien races could one obtain spiritual nutrients.

So, could he use the Heart Spirit Palace investigation to identify alien race spies lurking within the civilization?

He had only heard of alien race spies.

Since his mental strength broke through level 20, the burden of using the Heart Spirit Palace investigation was much smaller, and he had developed the habit of using 'Heart Spirit Palace investigation' when seeing important people.

It's just that so much time had passed, and he had never encountered an alien race spy.

Mental strength broke through level 30, and using the Heart Spirit Palace investigation hundreds of times a day had little impact, so he was even more accustomed to doing so.

He didn't expect.

Just returned from the Haixu Star Realm, before he had completely walked out of the war base, he actually encountered one!

But looking at the man jumping down from the aircraft, his attire, appearance, etc., were no different from the group of people around him.

"Is he really an alien race spy?" A trace of doubt flashed in Li Yuan's heart; he couldn't tell from the appearance alone.

Most importantly, the Heart Spirit Palace investigation had always followed the rule of 'killing alien races to obtain spiritual nutrients'... but it was ultimately not a 100% confirmed thing.

"What's wrong?" Li Yang, walking in front, noticed Li Yuan's abnormality.

"Junior brother, who are you looking at?" Shi Xiao also sensed something.

"Nothing." Li Yuan shook his head faintly, looked into the distance, and said, "I just feel that the man in the leather jacket has a strange mental aura... it makes me feel uncomfortable."

"Strange?" Shi Xiao was puzzled.

"Uncomfortable?" Li Yang was startled inwardly; he knew that Li Yuan's spiritual power was highly likely at the Flying Heaven level, and his sensory ability was terrifying.

With Flying Heaven-level spiritual power, some things one can perceive cannot be measured by common sense.

"How is it uncomfortable?" Li Yang asked.

"Teacher, you should know that I have fought many Tianliang race powerhouses in the Star Realm." Li Yuan said off the cuff: "This person... always makes me feel somewhat similar."

"Tianliang race?" A trace of killing intent flashed in Li Yang's eyes; he had a deep understanding of this alien civilization.

"Teacher, I just feel a bit uncomfortable and cannot confirm it." Li Yuan shook his head and said, "Teacher should know that my perception is very keen."

This was the excuse Li Yuan had prepared.

First, he could not expose the Heart Spirit Palace; second, even with the Palace's investigation, he could not be one hundred percent sure the other party was a spy, let alone present it as evidence.

So what reason to use? Intuition!

As a martial arts genius with Flying Heaven-level spiritual power, Li Yuan's intuition was a form of evidence.

"Alright, I understand." Li Yang nodded solemnly: "I will immediately have people focus on investigating him; wait for me a moment."

Saying this, Li Yang waved his hand, and several martial artist officers quickly approached.

Li Yang quickly explained the reason.

Of course, Li Yang used other reasons; he did not want to involve Li Yuan.

"Understood, Dean Li."

This martial artist officer wearing a 'Major' badge said solemnly: "I just checked the records; that person is a martial artist from the Starry Sky Martial Hall and just applied to enter the Mingxu Star Realm not long ago... We will monitor him closely."

The reason Li Yang gave was quite flimsy, as Li Yang didn't even know the person.

But as a top-tier Source Martial Artist and a Vice Dean of Kunlun Martial University.

When Li Yang suspected a First-Rank martial artist of being an alien spy.

Then, that was the greatest reason and evidence.

"What about the others? Let's take a look." Li Yuan, standing to the side, was calm and composed, not intervening at all, just continuously using the Heart Spirit Palace to investigate and check the others he saw.

Wherever his gaze fell, everyone was normal; only that man in the leather jacket showed abnormalities.

Soon, the group of martial artist officers dispersed as if nothing had happened.

"Li Yuan, let's go." Li Yang said in a low voice: "From today on, the military will closely monitor him and investigate his many connections, past experiences, past network communications, and so on... If he really is an alien spy, he will eventually show clues, and we can follow the vine to catch a large group of people."

"Understood." Li Yuan nodded slightly.

When encountering such an alien spy, the best thing is not to arrest them immediately.

It is to figure out the entire spy network behind them and then try to wipe them all out.

As for actively investigating more people?

"Not to mention that I cannot expose the Heart Spirit Palace."

"Even if I exposed it, and the Alliance high-level officials believed me, my investigating a few hundred people a day wouldn't have much impact, but what about thousands? Tens of thousands?" Li Yuan sighed inwardly: "If I investigated day and night without stopping, I could probably only screen a few million people a year."

How many people are in the entire Seven Star Alliance? Nearly two hundred billion in total!!

Li Yuan couldn't finish screening them in ten lifetimes.

Moreover, as far as Li Yuan knew, the vast majority of spies were 'traitors' within the civilization who sold out their home civilization for their own interests; traitors could not be judged by the Heart Spirit Palace's investigation.

The number of aliens who truly infiltrated and lived within human civilization was still very small.

"Better to focus on cultivation."

"If I really want to conduct a comprehensive screening, it won't be too late to wait until my spiritual power surpasses the Flying Heaven level; by then, the efficiency will be at least a hundred times higher." Li Yuan thought to himself: "From now on, whoever I run into, I'll just take a look."

A small number of infiltrated alien spies cannot affect the entire civilization.

But if an existence surpassing the Flying Heaven level is born, it is more important to the entire Seven Star human civilization.

"If I want to help the entire civilization, I must first protect myself." Li Yuan's thoughts flashed: "As my fame grows, perhaps I will also attract alien assassinations."

"In the future, everyone who gets close to me must be investigated by the Heart Spirit Palace to prevent accidents." Li Yuan was very cautious.

In life-and-death roaming, doing some dangerous things is a last resort.

But dangers that can be avoided in daily life must be avoided as much as possible.

... Following Li Yang into the conference room, the door slowly closed.

"Li Yuan." Li Yang's voice suddenly rang in Li Yuan's mind, as if it were ringing right next to his ear.

"Spiritual sense transmission?" A glimmer of light flashed in Li Yuan's eyes, and he responded via transmission as well: "Teacher."

With Flying Heaven-level spiritual power, there is no need to learn; spiritual sense transmission is an instinct.

But top-tier Source Martial Artists must learn corresponding spiritual secret techniques to barely manage it.

"It seems Liu Jing's report was correct; your spiritual power has indeed become extremely strong." Li Yang's transmission carried a hint of emotion: "This is a military base, not a school, so be careful; you and I can just communicate via transmission."

"Yes." Li Yuan nodded in response.

Quickly, Li Yang informed Li Yuan of the general content of Liu Jing's report.

"150 points?" Li Yuan felt surprised when he heard this total score.

Li Yuan understood the meaning of this score.

It could be said that this rating was Liu Jing betting his own 'reputation'.

"You have Flying Heaven-level spiritual power; I need to confirm it, and a single spiritual sense transmission is not enough." Li Yang looked at Li Yuan: "Liu Jing said your spiritual attack is very strong... come and try it on me."

"Teacher, be careful." Li Yuan did not stand on ceremony, his eyes narrowing and becoming incomparably cold.

Boom! A powerful spiritual shock surged toward Li Yang like a torrent.

But immediately after, the confident Li Yuan felt as if he had encountered a sturdy dam; under the frantic collision and impact, he actually failed to completely shake this dam.

"Teacher, you can withstand it?" A hint of surprise appeared in Li Yuan's voice.

"Impressive, it is indeed Flying Heaven-level spiritual power." Li Yang was full of shock inwardly and smiled: "You feel surprised that you couldn't make me completely lose my senses?"

Li Yuan couldn't help but nod.

"In terms of quality and quantity, the spiritual power of top-tier Source Martial Artists is indeed inferior to the Flying Heaven level." Li Yang smiled: "But if we are willing to spend a great deal of time practicing some spiritual secret techniques, condensing our spiritual will, and combining it with long-term spiritual harmony with heaven and earth... then, when we are subjected to a spiritual shock, even if our strength is affected to a certain extent, it is not difficult to barely remain clear-headed."

"Unless your spiritual shock is even stronger."

Li Yuan suddenly realized; so that was it.

A spiritual shock, after all, rushes into the other party's heart world; it is the other party's home field.

Although Liu Jing's spiritual power reached the top-tier Source Martial Artist level, his skills, willpower, and spiritual secret techniques were all inferior compared to top-tier Source Martial Artists.

Li Yuan didn't pay much attention to it inwardly.

Facing a powerhouse like Teacher Li Yang, even if a spiritual shock succeeded, it would at most make the other party lose their senses for an instant.

In a life-and-death battle, a top-tier Source Martial Artist could still easily kill him.

Spiritual attack is, after all, an auxiliary.

"Eighteen and a half years old, Flying Heaven-level spiritual power, Level 19 physical fitness, Fifth-Stage skills; your growth speed truly exceeds my imagination." Li Yang looked at Li Yuan, his eyes full of joy but also a hint of complexity.

More than half a year ago, when Li Yang first met Li Yuan in Jiangcheng City, Li Yuan was just a high school senior with good talent.

In the blink of an eye.

Li Yuan had already surpassed him in spiritual power and was gradually approaching him in skills... Physical fitness? Progressing rapidly, becoming a Source Martial Artist is imminent, and he will catch up sooner or later.

As for creating techniques?

In Li Yang's view, for someone like Li Yuan, creating techniques was effortless.

"The stronger I am, doesn't it prove that Teacher taught me well?" Li Yuan smiled.

"Haha, true." Li Yang laughed.

He had taught many students over so many years.

But the one with the most excellent and monstrous comprehensive performance was indeed Li Yuan, who had just enrolled for half a year.

"I came to pick you up this time, first, on the orders of Dean Hai, to investigate whether your spiritual power is at the Flying Heaven level." Li Yang said: "Second, to protect you; after all, with the talent you have revealed now, you are already faintly above Yu Jinghe... Once the alien race knows, they will definitely organize an assassination, and your strength is still too weak."

"Understood." Li Yuan nodded.

The arrangements made by the Alliance high-level officials were still very thoughtful.

"Third, it is the key matter of this Global University Martial Arts Tournament 'Virtual Battle'." Li Yang smiled: "Previously, my highest expectation was that you could rush into the top twenty; now it seems, I'm afraid it's more than that. Flying Heaven-level spiritual power will cause your spear technique and movement technique progress speed to skyrocket... I can no longer guess how far you can go."

"It's a pity that spiritual power cannot be used in the virtual battle; otherwise, with one spiritual shock from you, you would be the absolute first." Li Yang sighed.

Li Yuan listened.

"But no matter what, try your best to rush." Li Yang said solemnly: "Strive to rush into the top five or even the top three, to fight for the best Flying Star quota."

"Every year, the top three in the virtual battle will receive a Flying Star quota, and then some excellent students will be selected from the top hundred."

"Flying Star quota?" A trace of doubt flashed in Li Yuan's eyes.

What is this?

Never heard of it!

"It seems you haven't heard of it." Li Yang smiled: "Flying Star quota is our common name; its full name is 'Seven Star Martial God Inheritance Quota', led by the Seven Star Alliance. Legend has it that this is an inheritance jointly created by Senior Dongfang Ji, Senior Lante, and other existences surpassing the Flying Heaven level."

"It is the most powerful martial arts inheritance in our Seven Star human civilization."

"Because the location is on the distant Flying Star, we commonly call it the Flying Star quota."

Li Yuan held his breath; just hearing the name, he knew this martial arts inheritance was very powerful.

It was definitely the top-tier inheritance of the entire civilization.

"Every year, only the top batch of geniuses among the seven planets are qualified to receive a Flying Star quota." Li Yang smiled: "On our Blue Star, about ten emerge every year."

"In addition to the Global University Martial Arts Tournament you are participating in, the Human Martial Arts Elite Battle will also select people... those who have graduated between 25 and 30 years old, occasionally one or two geniuses who have accumulated and broken through emerge; scattered around, there are about ten or so."

"Anyway, as long as you are under 30 and not at the Flying Heaven level, there is hope to be selected." Li Yang said.

Li Yuan listened.

Perhaps, among the Alliance high-level officials, as long as one is under 30, they are still considered young and still have room for cultivation.

"In the entire civilization, it adds up to less than a hundred people per year."

"Ten? A hundred?" Li Yuan thought to himself, it is indeed very, very few.

Distributed down, the Xia Nation probably only has one or two per year.

"Of course, you will definitely have a quota; you don't need to worry about this." Li Yang smiled.

"Definitely have one?" Li Yuan was stunned for a moment.

No need for selection?

"Originally, Dean Hai intended to recommend you when you were a sophomore." Li Yang smiled: "But since your spiritual power has reached the Flying Heaven level... you definitely have one."

"Looking at the entire civilization, I don't know if there is a second case in history where First-Rank spiritual power reached the Flying Heaven level." Li Yang shrugged: "Anyway, I've never heard of it."

Li Yuan was speechless.

"But you should understand that there will be subtle differences between Flying Star quotas."

"The better you perform, the more benefits you will get when you arrive at Flying Star." Li Yang said solemnly: "The Global University Martial Arts Tournament virtual battle is your stage; be sure to seize the opportunity."

"Understood." Li Yuan nodded solemnly.

Only about ten per year globally? And it screens all geniuses under 30?

One must know that just the three top martial arts schools on Blue Star recruit 1,000 people a year in total.

From 18 to 30 years old, a span of more than ten years, that's tens of thousands of students; which one isn't a genius?

And there are a large number of ordinary martial arts universities.

"Getting into the three top martial arts schools is just being a martial arts genius in the conventional sense." Li Yang sighed: "But if you get a Flying Star quota and go to Flying Star... that is a super genius among geniuses."

"Of all those qualified to go, more than 60 percent eventually become Flying Heaven martial artists." Li Yang said solemnly.

"What about the other 30 percent plus?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"Most died in various life-and-death tempering."

Li Yang talked about many more things regarding the 'Flying Star quota'.

"I haven't been there either; much of it is hearsay, so just listen." Li Yang smiled: "Anyway, work hard."

"When the time comes, you might even be able to see Senior Dongfang Ji."

Li Yuan's eyes lit up.

Dongfang Ji? That was his idol since childhood.

"By the way." Li Yang suddenly changed the subject: "Li Yuan, you still have a Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruit in your hand, right."

"Are you willing to sell it to Teacher?"
