Chapter 217: Must Kill Him

"Worked so hard for so long."

"Finally awakened more than 12,960 Life Stars on the second Life Star pulse." Li Yuan's eyes flashed with a glow, and there was an unstoppable smile at the corners of his mouth.

In fact, relying on his own sensing of countless Life Stars, the number of Life Stars Li Yuan awakened exceeded 15,000.

Even with powerful spiritual power and super-high skills, Li Yuan still failed several times, and then had to stop halfway, resting for a period of time before continuing.

This was still under the condition of having the experience of many predecessors of human civilization to borrow from.

From this, Li Yuan can imagine the difficulty of creating the method by the first generation of Source Martial Artists hundreds of years ago.

"On the basis of my predecessors, I can easily find many common Life Stars." Li Yuan thought to himself: "They were groping in the dark... the failure rate was much higher than mine."

For the first generation, a 99% failure rate in creating the method was by no means an empty word.

"Now, as long as I spend enough time, lighting up Life Stars one by one, I will gradually grow." Li Yuan was full of confidence.

Through the last "Spiritual Guidance," Li Yuan was quite looking forward to the number of unawakened "Life Stars" in the Life Star space.

Now, with powerful spiritual power and brilliant skills, if time and energy are spent, it will always be successful.

"The second star pulse initially awakened, and the star pulse level was upgraded by one level?" Li Yuan thought thoughtfully, observing the data display on the Divine Palace panel.

——

【Life Layer: 19.6 (First Tier)】

Fist Power: 62,500 kg

Speed: 109.6 m/s

Spiritual Power: Level 30.3

Willpower: Level 31

Spiritual Awakening Degree: 37.9% (Current limit 40%)

Star Pulse: Level 11 (Cultivation Efficiency 10+0.5)

Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fifth-Stage 31%), Movement Technique (Fifth-Stage 31%), Fist Technique (Perfection)

……

The first star pulse was a perfect awakening, 129,600 Life Stars perfect and flawless, so it was a Level 10 star pulse.

The second star pulse initially awakened, upgraded by 1 level.

"In other words, for every star pulse awakened, if there are more than 12,960 Life Stars, it can be upgraded by 1 level?" Li Yuan thought to himself.

This is Li Yuan's speculation; to get an accurate conclusion, there must be more examples.

"But what does the cultivation efficiency 10+0.5 displayed after the star pulse mean?" Li Yuan thought to himself: "Total cultivation efficiency 10.5?"

How is this calculated?

After a little thought, Li Yuan thought of a possibility, but it also needs verification.

"Try it."

Li Yuan closed his eyes gently, his mind moved to operate the two star pulses, and in an instant, countless tiny lights were blooming in his body. These lights gathered to form silk threads... in the past, only one silk thread was formed, but now two silk threads were formed.

One was extremely dazzling, with dense light points.

One was quite dim.

The surging Source Power from the heaven and earth outside surged into Li Yuan's body along the silk thread light points, operating with the star pulse, trying to further strengthen the flesh and bones... unfortunately, Li Yuan had just finished practicing "All Heavens Stars" not long ago.

Equivalent to being full.

However, Li Yuan sensed with powerful spiritual power and had initially reached his own conclusion.

"The effect of this extra star pulse is not as great as I imagined, and it is about the same as the Divine Palace panel display, causing my Source Power absorption efficiency to increase by about 5%, consistent with the 10 and 0.5 ratio displayed." Li Yuan thought to himself.

Through the Divine Palace panel, Li Yuan had more conjectures.

If the top-tier star pulse is Level 100, representing ten perfect star pulses, the cultivation efficiency is 100, which is a limit.

Then, every perfect star pulse has a cultivation efficiency of 10.

And for an initially awakened star pulse, every time it is upgraded by one level, the cultivation efficiency will increase by about 0.5. As it gradually approaches the perfect star pulse, the range of efficiency increase will become larger and larger.

"Perhaps, this is the difference between perfect and incomplete." Li Yuan thought to himself: "Perhaps a Level 9 star pulse can increase cultivation efficiency by 6 or 7, but once it transforms into a Level 10 perfect star pulse, the efficiency will soar directly to 10."

The above are all Li Yuan's conjectures.

"Until I further improve the second awakened star pulse, or even awaken the third, fourth star pulse, many secrets will naturally be revealed." Li Yuan thought.

Li Yuan didn't go deep into it.

Many things, the entire Seven-Star Human Civilization has no experience, and the Divine Palace panel does not explain them, so he can only explore and summarize them himself.

"Powerful."

"Still strive to make myself powerful, always have to figure it all out." Li Yuan thought to himself: "The higher the cultivation efficiency, it's not a bad thing after all."

……

Starting from seven in the morning, as Li Yuan expected, he received more and more messages.

Many old classmates who hadn't been in touch for more than half a year... all sent him messages.

Even his younger brother and sister sent messages, asking him if he had already won the tournament championship.

On fire!

Li Yuan was completely on fire. He checked the views of that short video again, and it had already exceeded 400 million, far exceeding Tantai Feng's 220 million.

He looked at the time again.

"Better ask Provincial Hall Master Yang." Li Yuan thought about it and dialed the other party's V-number.

For the high-level Flying-level officials of the Starfire Martial Hall, Li Yuan only knew the other party, and they had almost no interaction before.

This is also the reason why Li Yuan didn't rashly ask late last night; ask who? Don't know anyone.

Only ten seconds later, the communication was established.

"Li Yuan?" A gentle female voice came from the communication.

"Yes, I am Li Yuan." Li Yuan said: "Provincial Hall Master Yang, sorry to disturb you so early, I want to ask you... why did the Martial Hall produce a short video of me in the tournament so quickly? Logically, shouldn't they suppress the news?"

"This matter." The gentle voice had a trace of doubt: "I just found out too... I don't know the specific situation very well; this is an order issued by higher-level officials."

"I was just about to notify you."

"Only one point, don't leave Kunlun Martial Arts University recently. In addition, these few days, go out occasionally during the day to stroll around the school, such as the Black Dragon Building, Zhuzhu Building, etc." The gentle female voice said: "You don't need to worry about anything else."

"Don't leave Kunlun Martial Arts University? Go out and stroll?" Li Yuan heard this, and a possibility flashed in his heart.

Not long after.

Both sides hung up the communication.

Li Yuan fell into deep thought. Logically, geniuses of his and Tantai Feng's level should try their best to hide the news.

After all, although there are few alien spies lurking in human civilization, there are definitely some.

Why, deliberately promote it with great fanfare?

As if worrying that others don't know.

"High-level officials are not fools." Li Yuan thought to himself: "Doing this, it is highly probable that they want to use me and Tantai Feng as 'bait' to fish out the hidden big fish."

But Li Yuan still couldn't figure it out.

Such crazy promotion, instead, seems deliberate... Alien experts who can lurk down will definitely not be fools.

Fishing with a straight hook!

Will the aliens take the bait?

"High-level officials doing this must have a reason." Li Yuan shook his head slightly: "I can't decide now."

If his speculation is true, Li Yuan had no dissatisfaction with the high-level officials directly taking him as 'bait'.

"In a sense, it instead shows that I am already extremely important." Li Yuan saw it very clearly, just like Senior Liu Jing and the others guarding the Mingxu Star Realm, it is a sacrifice.

Many times, in order to win a big victory, there are always people who have to take risks and sacrifice.

……

Time passed day by day.

The third round of the virtual tournament, the "elimination tournament," is still continuing, with 990 martial arts geniuses from all over the world.

Like Tantai Feng, Jin Huguo, Tian Dazhuang, Zhu Tong, and other martial arts geniuses, all have to fight desperately in round after round of duels, striving to defeat one opponent after another to compete for the other ten spots in the finals.

Among the many martial arts geniuses in the Xia Nation, only Li Yuan, Yin Man, and Yu Mingwei directly advanced to the finals.

From February 11th to February 18th, there were no matches for him for a whole week.

Li Yuan was very leisurely.

Practicing step by step, and at the same time, according to the order of Provincial Hall Master Yang, he would go to the Black Dragon Building to shake around every day... but visibly, his fame was constantly soaring.

Wherever he went, he was a focus.

In just two days, the global views of that short video had already exceeded 2 billion.

Li Yuan's V-blog followers soared from the previous ten thousand to over 20 million.

In the true sense, he became popular all over the virtual network overnight.

It's a pity that Li Yuan doesn't sell goods, nor does he live stream... he has always ignored these activities that affect cultivation and the heart.

At the same time.

Every time Li Yuan went out, he would be extremely vigilant, his powerful spiritual power always spread out, and any life that walked into his line of sight or perception could not escape his "Divine Palace Investigation."

After all, although Li Yuan believes that the high-level officials of the Starfire Martial Hall have already set up a killing move in the dark, he cannot be careless himself.

It's just a pity... there was no abnormality.

……

Blue Star is vast, with more than 10 billion humans living on it, and many Star Realm entrances have appeared in hundreds of years.

Most Star Realms are either very small or don't need too much resources to guard, such as the Moon Demon Star Realm, Mingxu Star Realm, etc.

But there are also a few Star Realms that are vast, nurturing many rare treasures, and connecting to many powerful alien civilizations, so... war erupted.

For example, the Luo Bu Sea Star Realm within the Xia Nation's borders.

And for example—the Wanhan Star Realm!

As the only "Tier-Three Star Realm" on Blue Star, and the Star Realm is vast and nurtures many rare treasures, it also connects to many alien spaces.

The Wanhan Star Realm has always been a place of contention for many civilizations such as the Seven-Star Human Civilization, Tianliang Human Civilization, Cloud Beast Civilization, etc., and a large number of Flying powerhouses gather here.

The entire Star Realm has a maximum diameter of more than one million kilometers... the local life forces nurtured by the Star Realm are also extremely powerful.

All of this made the Wanhan Star Realm extremely chaotic, with constant great battles.

Today.

Wanhan Star Realm, one of the mysterious locations, under the rolling glaciers, deep underground.

Inside a magnificent palace.

A purple-robed figure was sitting cross-legged here, silently clicking on the projection light screen in front of him, reading a large amount of data, including text and videos... if you look carefully, you will definitely find that the person appearing in the video is Li Yuan.

After reading all the data.

Thinking for a long time.

"Hoo!" The purple-robed figure waved his hand, clicked on the light screen, and entered a special communication channel.

Dial!

Drip~ Drip~ Time passed, and the purple-robed figure had been waiting patiently.

A full ten minutes later.

"Zixin, what's the matter? Need to call me directly?" A low voice sounded.

"Number Three."

"This time, you have to take action." The purple-robed figure's voice was hoarse: "Need you to kill someone."

"Who?" The low voice called "Number Three" said.

"Xia Nation's newly promoted genius, Li Yuan." The purple-robed figure said the target: "He is at Kunlun Martial Arts University."

"No." The low voice refused decisively: "I also understand his data, but such large-scale promotion is definitely the Starfire Martial Hall high-level officials using him as bait... even if I go, the failure rate is extremely high."

"I even suspect that he is not at Kunlun Martial Arts University at all and has been secretly transferred." The low voice said.

"No need to worry about this." The purple-robed figure said: "He is at Kunlun Martial Arts University, there is no doubt about it. These few days, it has been verified many times by us in secret... we all know that the Starfire Martial Hall is luring, but the bait is real."

"And this bait, we must eat it."

"Even if it means the fish dies, we must bite off the bait."

"This Li Yuan's threat is too great. No matter how the other party lures, this promotional video is true... he indeed has the potential to reach the demigod level." The purple-robed figure said: "No one wants the Seven-Star Human Civilization to have another demigod."

The low voice called Number Three was silent.

Indeed.

This is clearly a trap, but the bait is real; this is a conspiracy.

"Precisely because we know it's a trap, we didn't send top-tier Source Martial Artists; that's certain death." The purple-robed figure said: "Only you, practicing the 'Blood Shadow' star technique, once you send out a Blood Shadow clone... even if the Seven-Star Human Civilization sends a demigod to lurk here, they will at most kill your clone."

"Even if it means losing the Blood Shadow clone, you must kill him."

"Besides, we have verified that Demigod Baishan is guarding Tantai Feng in Kyoto."

Number Three didn't say anything.

In the Xia Nation, or rather on Blue Star, there are only a few demigod existences.

If Baishan is not at Kunlun Martial Arts University, then if he takes action, the success rate is indeed very high.

At least the probability of death is very small.

"Can't we wait for a period of time? There will always be opportunities." Number Three said in a low voice.

"Do you think, missing this opportunity, will the Seven-Star Human Civilization give us another chance?" The purple-robed figure sighed: "After this battle, Li Yuan will definitely go to the Flying Star... do you want to assassinate under Dongfang Ji's nose?"

Number Three didn't speak.

"Three Blood Demon Heart Fruits." The purple-robed figure finally threw out the price: "Enough to compensate for the loss of your Blood Shadow clone."

"Good." Number Three finally agreed.

He knew that the clan was indeed sparing no cost this time.
