Chapter 203

"Teacher has always valued true combat performance rather than theoretical talent."

Fang Hai said slowly: "In history, there has never been a First-Rank who received a First-Rank quota."

"Just like Teacher, he rarely bestows heavy treasures directly to his disciples, but lets us go out to roam, temper, and fight."

"Of his nine children, six died in various life-and-death temperings... Li Yuan is still very immature, and it's hard to say about the future." Fang Hai shook his head: "Even if I go to talk to Teacher, it won't be of much use."

"A Second-Rank Martial God Inheritance quota is the limit of what we can help Li Yuan with."

"How far he can go next depends on his own performance." Fang Hai said slowly: "If he can soar into the sky in the virtual battle of the Global University Martial Arts Tournament, and remain excellent even at the Source Martial Artist stage, he can naturally get a First-Rank quota, or even a Special-Rank quota."

"Back then, I also rose step by step from a Third-Rank quota in the Martial God Inheritance until I was recognized by Teacher and became his disciple." Fang Hai said.

"Alright then." Star Master Baishan smiled: "You are Li Yuan's principal, you decide."

"However."

"You still haven't broken through?" Star Master Baishan looked at the light flowing around Fang Hai and couldn't help but say: "Must you force it? The Wanhan Star Realm is complex and uncertain; no one knows when that thing will appear, and dragging it out is not a solution... You trust your teacher's judgment that much?"

"Breaking through earlier and transforming your foundation will make your progress much faster than it is now." Star Master Baishan said.

"I trust Teacher." Fang Hai smiled: "Teacher's judgment has never been wrong."

"Your teacher is indeed more powerful than me." Star Master Baishan shook his head; he knew Fang Hai's character, and this was not the first time he had persuaded him: "Alright then, I will soon issue the official document regarding Li Yuan."

"Then that's it, I'll hang up first."

The light screen projection dissipated, and the aircraft became quiet.

"Flying Heaven-level soul? Li Yuan?"

"Hope he doesn't live up to this Second-Rank quota."

"Martial God Inheritance?" Fang Hai closed his eyes and muttered to himself: "If I want to enter the third area and want to catch up to Teacher, this step must be taken... the path of the mysteries of heaven and earth."

"It's really hard to walk."

Regarding his direct receipt of the 'Second-Rank quota' for the Martial God Inheritance.

Li Yuan, far away in Jiangnan Province, was unaware.

He had already finished his visualization cultivation and turned to continue cultivating 'All Heavens Stars'.

A large amount of Source Force surged into his body frantically, and accompanied by the operation of the Star Veins, it continuously merged into his body.

Making his body become increasingly powerful.

"A Flying Heaven-level soul makes my cultivation of 'All Heavens Stars' much more efficient." Li Yuan looked forward to it inwardly: "When I awaken the second star vein, it should be even faster."

Every few days, Li Yuan would try to light up more Life Stars in the Life Star Space.

Accumulating bit by bit.

More and more Life Stars were awakened, giving Li Yuan a vague premonition that the day of awakening the second star vein... should not be far away.

Suddenly.

Boom! A powerful spiritual fluctuation erupted suddenly, sweeping toward all directions.

"Hmm?" Li Yuan woke up from his seclusion abruptly; his powerful spiritual power had been sensing the surroundings, and he instantly felt this spiritual fluctuation.

The aura was very familiar.

The spiritual fluctuation was very powerful, but it didn't have that sense of aggression; it flashed and disappeared, quickly dissipating.

"Is it Teacher?" A hint of surprise flashed in Li Yuan's eyes: "It's Teacher Li's aura."

"Could it be that Teacher has broken through?" Li Yuan guessed.

Another hour passed, and Li Yuan was still cultivating in seclusion, waiting patiently.

"Li Yuan." A voice rang in Li Yuan's mind.

Spiritual sense transmission.

"Teacher, has your spiritual power broken through?" Li Yuan responded immediately; the two were communicating across rooms.

"Haha, yes." Li Yang's voice was filled with ecstasy: "Broken through, finally broken through; it was worth me pouring most of my wealth into this over the past few decades... However, the most important thing is still this Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruit of yours; it's really extraordinary."

"Let's talk when we meet; I'll be out soon."

Soon, Li Yang, who had finished his cultivation, came to the martial arts room where Li Yuan was.

"Teacher." Li Yuan stood up to greet him; he had already felt a trace of powerful spiritual fluctuation faintly dispersing from Li Yang's body.

This was because Li Yang had just broken through and could not perfectly control this spiritual power yet.

"Congratulations, Teacher." Li Yuan smiled.

"Thanks." The smile on Li Yang's face could not be hidden; spiritual power breaking through to the Flying Heaven level was indeed a great joy for him.

For him, with the soul transformation, the hope of his skills reaching the Fifth-Stage perfection or even the Sixth-Stage would be ten times greater.

Flying Heaven martial artist? No longer an extravagant hope.

"If I can become a Flying Heaven martial artist in the future, Li Yuan, your contribution is the greatest." Li Yang couldn't help but say.

"Teacher, it's because your accumulation is deep enough." Li Yuan shook his head repeatedly: "Your spiritual power was already at the Second-Rank limit; it's just a Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruit."

"Even if you hadn't obtained it from me today, you would have obtained it from somewhere else next time." Li Yuan said.

He didn't think it was his contribution.

"No!"

"This Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruit of yours is very special." There was light in Li Yang's eyes: "Although it can't compare to a Fourth-Rank treasure, among Third-Rank treasures, it is definitely top-tier."

"It contains some divinity... plus some luck, and I broke through." Li Yang was very happy. Li Yuan listened, and he couldn't help but recall the scene when he seized the three Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruits.

The three Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruits he obtained were probably indeed very special.

"This Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruit of yours is of extremely high value." Li Yang looked at Li Yuan: "I originally thought about compensating you with some more Blue Star coins, but now it seems that just compensating with some Blue Star coins doesn't mean much."

"In addition to what was agreed before for your uncle and aunt, I will give you another treasure." Li Yang smiled.

Whoosh!

Li Yang suddenly flipped his palm, and a purple pill appeared in his palm, emitting a faint, strange fragrance.

"Source Purple Longevity Pill?" Li Yuan instantly recognized this pill, and a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

"Yes."

"Liu Jing told me that you should have used this pill for him." Li Yang smiled: "This one is just right to continue as your life-saving item; it's very suitable."

"Teacher, didn't you say it was very precious before?" Li Yuan couldn't help but say.

"It is indeed precious." Li Yang nodded: "Normally, if Source Martial Artists can become top-tier Source Martial Artists... the Seven Star Alliance will sell it to us at a super low price of 'one billion Blue Star coins'."

"But there is only this one chance."

!.

"After that, if top-tier Source Martial Artists want to buy it again, it will cost 5 billion Blue Star coins, and they can buy it at most five times in a lifetime." Li Yang smiled: "Understand what I mean?"

"Renewable?" Li Yuan was thoughtful.

"Hmm, the Source Purple Longevity Pill does have a stable output, but it is also extremely precious." Li Yang said: "The chance to buy a life for 5 billion Blue Star coins... we top-tier Source Martial Artists are still willing."

"As for ordinary Source Martial Artists, most don't have this money to buy it, so most don't know."

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

Between primary Source Martial Artists and intermediate Source Martial Artists, the strength gap is not too large, and it can barely be made up by quantity.

But from advanced Source Martial Artists to top-tier Source Martial Artists... they will be completely crushed; it's not the same level at all.

Top-tier Source Martial Artists have absolute advantages in physical fitness, Source Force, and spiritual power.

The key is skills!

Fifth-Stage skills against Fourth-Stage skills is a complete crushing.

"5 billion Blue Star coins, too expensive." Li Yuan couldn't help but shake his head.

Calculating this way, plus the previous agreement, Teacher Li Yang took out more than 6 billion Blue Star coins to buy this Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruit.

Li Yuan believed the other party's wealth was very astonishing.

But according to Li Yuan's estimation, it probably earned at most twenty billion.

"Take it, it's not expensive." Li Yang smiled: "For me, spiritual power breaking through is something that ten billion Blue Star coins can't buy... Now that I can break through, I have hope for the Flying Heaven level."

"If I can become a Flying Heaven-level martial artist, a Source Purple Longevity Pill is nothing." Li Yang said: "If you don't take it, I will feel guilty, which will be detrimental to my subsequent cultivation."

Since Li Yang had said so, Li Yuan could no longer refuse and took the Source Purple Longevity Pill.

In fact.

Having seen the effect of the Source Purple Longevity Pill, Li Yuan also understood that he indeed needed it.

It could really save his life at a critical moment.

Not long after, Li Yang took Li Yuan and Shi Xiao onto a large aircraft flying back to Kunlun Martial University.

Because it was a chartered plane and Li Yang wanted to have a special talk with Li Yuan, he arranged for Shi Xiao to be alone on the other side of the cabin.

It was very quiet inside.

"I reckon you will graduate by your junior year at most." Li Yang sat in his seat and suddenly smiled: "Maybe you will graduate by your sophomore year."

"Ah?" Li Yuan was stunned.

So fast?

"Do you think the school can still help you with anything?" Li Yang smiled.

Li Yuan was silent.

"You should be able to feel that when I saw you again this time, I didn't treat you as an ordinary student." Li Yang sighed: "Like normal elite students, such as Shi Xiao... one life-and-death roaming probably only earns a few million Blue Star coins."

"So, the school's various rewards are still very important to her."

"But what about you?" Li Yang looked at Li Yuan with a smile that wasn't a smile: "Your strength is already no less than an ordinary Source Martial Artist."

"Your ability to make money, relying on your powerful spiritual power, can even rival advanced Source Martial Artists in some aspects." Li Yang said.

Li Yuan was speechless.

Indeed, the wealth he earned from this trip to the Mingxu Star Realm... made the school's cultivation plan and the Martial Hall's contract lose their meaning to some extent.

Tens of millions in cash rewards? None of it matters anymore.

Now, the wealth under his name has already approached 1.5 billion Blue Star coins; even Wan Qinghe might not have such a large sum of wealth.

"Normally."

"The highest-level treasure the school can give you is a heavenly treasure like Star Marrow Crystal." Li Yang smiled: "One unit of Star Marrow Crystal is worth about 200 million Blue Star coins."

"This is the limit; more precious treasures are not something the school can take out."

"Even for Starfire Martial University, Starry Sky Martial University, etc., their top students work hard to cultivate, more to fight for a Flying Star quota." Li Yang sighed: "But you are different."

"Your growth speed over this month or so is faster than what Dean Hai and I expected for a year."

"At your current growth speed, you will soon be a Source Martial Artist, and then head to Flying Star... After returning from receiving the inheritance at Flying Star, you will probably head to various star realms for life-and-death roaming." Li Yang looked at Li Yuan: "Kunlun Martial University will soon be unable to bind you."

"Cherish your last campus time."

Several hours later.

The aircraft landed slowly at the auxiliary airport of Kunlun Martial University.
