Chapter 218: Return Alive (Bonus 19)

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was February 16th, with only two days left until the finals of the virtual tournament.

After four in the afternoon.

Li Yuan, who had been going out for several consecutive days, rarely didn't go out today.

Because, a torrential rain was falling from the sky, the clouds were dense, and it was overcast.

In such weather, it is naturally more comfortable to stay at home.

"Star Spear Technique, Third Layer Star River Convergence." Li Yuan was practicing spear technique seriously in the underground martial arts room.

The spear shadows changed, the air was faintly distorted, and even on the sturdy walls of the martial arts room, a large number of scratches had been left, and the ground was even more uneven.

The martial arts room, which was enough to withstand the eruption of a Level 19 martial artist, was already unable to hold up under Li Yuan's all-out practice, day by day.

Practiced for a long time, Li Yuan finally stopped.

"Looks like, after this tournament, I have to apply to the school to change to another place." Li Yuan glanced at the walls and the ground, muttering to himself.

The school has many specially made houses, the martial arts room is larger, the materials are better, and it can easily withstand the eruption of ordinary Source Martial Artists.

It's just that the cost is higher, and you have to apply for it yourself.

Li Yuan estimated that the school teachers probably hadn't seen a freshman apply to change villas.

Hoo!

Li Yuan slowly retracted his spear, his whole body's aura gradually calmed down, and he swept across the Divine Palace panel: "After crossing into Fifth-Stage Mid-Tier, the progress speed of spear technique has indeed slowed down."

——

【Life Layer: 19.7 (First Tier)】

Fist Power: 63,900 kg

Speed: 110.9 m/s

Spiritual Power: Level 30.3

Willpower: Level 32

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

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

Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fifth-Stage 32%), Movement Technique (Fifth-Stage 32%), Fist Technique (Perfection)

……

"Physical fitness has been improving steadily." Li Yuan thought to himself: "Even willpower, after being tempered by the visualization method for such a long time, has improved by another level."

But whether it is spiritual, or spear technique, movement technique progress speed is sharply decreasing.

Or rather, it's not that Li Yuan's progress is slow, but that the gap between each level is getting bigger and bigger after his skills and spiritual power have undergone drastic transformation.

Especially skills.

You know, Li Yuan previously relied on his Flying-level soul, and it only took about half a month to push his spear technique from Fifth-Stage 20% to Fifth-Stage 29%.

"Just broke through to Fifth-Stage Mid-Tier, and it should be a time of rapid progress. Practicing spear technique every day, I feel that the progress is also great." Li Yuan thought to himself: "As a result, after a week, it only improved by 2%."

Further on, it will only be slower.

Calculating at this speed, Li Yuan felt that it would take at least half a year to reach the limit of Fifth-Stage Mid-Tier, and when he can cross into Fifth-Stage High Tier... is an unknown.

"No wonder it is said that top-tier geniuses on Blue Star can reach the Fifth-Stage perfection level before 30, which is extremely successful." Li Yuan sighed to himself.

Li Yuan now has a personal experience.

This is still under the condition that Li Yuan possesses a "Flying-level soul." If not... the progress speed would be sharply reduced.

Suddenly.

"Hmm?" Li Yuan vaguely noticed, subconsciously looked up, muttering to himself: "Teacher?"

Although practicing in the underground martial arts room, Li Yuan's spiritual power is always released.

The entire villa, and even the size of the movements near the villa, are hard to escape Li Yuan's divine sense perception.

In terms of perception ability, although Li Yuan is not as good as a real Flying Martial Artist, compared to many Source Martial Artists, he is not inferior.

"Go welcome the teacher." Li Yuan's figure moved, placing the Black Star Spear on the weapon rack.

He had already left the underground martial arts room.

…… "Teacher, why did you come over suddenly today." Li Yuan smiled and welcomed Li Yang into the door.

Poured tea.

Li Yuan accompanied Li Yang and sat down on the sofa in the living room on the first floor.

"Come to see you." Li Yang laughed: "The school is closed this week to facilitate students to watch the battle. I see you have never been to the tournament space."

"Busy practicing." Li Yuan smiled, not explaining much.

Watching the battle? In fact, Li Yuan had been there, like the duels of Fifth-Stage experts such as Jin Huguo, Tantai Feng, etc., he had seen one or two, but other people's duels... purely a waste of time.

Li Yuan naturally didn't go, so it seemed he almost never appeared in the tournament space.

"How is the spear technique practice?" Li Yang smiled slightly.

"Difficult." Li Yuan nodded.

"Haha, being able to make a peerless genius like you say it's difficult, it seems it's indeed not easy." Li Yang laughed: "Fifth-Stage skill cultivation is a process of sensing heaven and earth step by step, making the body gradually integrate into heaven and earth. It is indeed difficult. Your progress speed is already very strong."

Li Yuan couldn't help but smile, indeed, he was fast enough.

"Don't worry too much, although Nevsky confirmed the breakthrough, and there are Yin Man, Kunale, and these few who are suspected of breaking through." Li Yang laughed: "Even if they break through, the time won't be long."

"The gap is very small, life-and-death combat... depends more on your on-the-spot performance."

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

Based on his own experience, in a duel between Fifth-Stage experts, if the skill gap exceeds 10%, it is usually very difficult to win.

But if the gap is only 5%, or less? The difference in strength is very small.

"The elimination tournament will end today, and the last ten spots for the finals will be decided tonight." Li Yang said: "If you are interested, you can take a look."

"Meaningless." Li Yuan shook his head with a smile: "Basically, they are all Fifth-Stage fighting Fourth-Stage, only one Fifth-Stage battle, I'll see if I have time."

"Hmm, look at yourself." Li Yang laughed.

In this virtual tournament, the number of Fifth-Stage experts that emerged is not particularly large, even adding the two who broke through during the elimination tournament... the Fifth-Stage geniuses that have appeared so far are only 21.

Not few, but not many.

It's just that this year's finals have two freshmen, Li Yuan and Tantai Feng, which destined this virtual tournament to be remembered by latecomers.

Li Yang didn't mention the concept of "winning the championship."

Although the high-level officials of Kunlun Martial Arts University all have this desire, no one mentioned it, and all the high-level officials didn't want to put too much pressure on Li Yuan.

"There are a few other things." Li Yang laughed: "The first is the Dragon Spirit Heart Fruit, I have already purchased it through other channels... and have arranged for someone to send it to Jiangcheng."

"Dragon Spirit Heart Fruit?" Li Yuan's eyes lit up, and there was an uncontrollable excitement in his eyes.

"Yes, it won't be wrong." Li Yang said: "I will arrange a medical team... to ensure your uncle's body is safe and sound, and thoroughly recovered."

Li Yang is clear about Li Yuan's worries, and also knows what Li Yuan cares about most.

"Thank you, Teacher." Li Yuan said solemnly.

"Haha, I should be the one saying thank you." Li Yang laughed: "Just a Dragon Spirit Heart Fruit, compared to my harvest, it's not worth mentioning."

There are some things Li Yang didn't say.

Spiritual power transformed into Flying-level, only practicing for half a month, he already vaguely saw the hope of breakthrough.

The bottleneck is loosening.

"Another thing is, the person you discovered in Jiangnan Province who was suspected of being an alien." Li Yang said: "Remember, right? After these days of investigation, it has been initially verified... it is indeed an alien spy of the Tianliang clan, just haven't fully closed the net."

"Really an alien?" A trace of inexplicable light flashed in Li Yuan's eyes.

In this way, can he really lock onto alien spies through Divine Palace Investigation?

It's a pity that Divine Palace Investigation can only distinguish those within 10 levels higher than himself, and cannot investigate those exceeding 10 levels.

"Yes, your eyes are poisonous." Li Yang laughed: "Although the net hasn't been fully closed, the meritorious service that should be calculated has been initially calculated on your head."

"Plus the great meritorious service you made in the Flying Snake Valley of the Mingxu Star Realm."

"Hmm, just like the short promotional video you were very popular in these few days, it's already enough for a Third-Class Gold Medal." Li Yang said: "Not long after, there should be an official award ceremony for you."

"Gold Medal?" A movement in Li Yuan's heart.

This is an honor that most Source Martial Artists don't have, and it also contains many privileges.

"How is the Mingxu Star Realm now?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"When you and Liu Jing helped us establish a simple base earlier than the Tianliang clan... now we have basically locked in the victory, but the great battle with the Tianliang clan is very tragic, and we have many casualties." Li Yang sighed: "As the first discoverer of the mineral vein, it is estimated that in ten days or half a month, when the battle situation is completely over."

"By then, the reward will be issued."

"Good." Li Yuan nodded slightly.

According to what Senior Liu Jing said before, if it is finally won, at least there should be a reward of 1 billion Blue Star coins for himself... it is already very amazing.

Money, Li Yuan has always attached great importance to it.

Like Li Yuan, he has more than 1 billion Blue Star coins in his name, which seems not small, but after becoming a Source Martial Artist, buying some treasures to practice Source Power secret techniques, body secret techniques... each is a money-swallowing cave.

This little money is not enough to look at.

This is also the reason why Li Yuan is so eager to challenge for the top three or even first place in the virtual tournament.

Proving to the Xia Nation high-level officials that they didn't choose the wrong person is one aspect.

On the other hand, heavenly materials and earthly treasures worth 2 billion Blue Star coins are very attractive.

……

Sending away Teacher Li Yang made Li Yuan know many things, and also made him have more thoughts and insights about his own subsequent cultivation.

Just returned to the underground martial arts room.

"Master, Lin Lanyue calling." The auxiliary intelligence's voice sounded: "Video communication."

"Lanyue?" Li Yuan was stunned, said: "Answer!"

Drip~

Countless light lines shot out, quickly gathering to form a light screen projection, in which a beautiful figure in red robes appeared.

"Lanyue." Li Yuan couldn't help but smile: "Why are you looking for me suddenly."

After such a long time, after repeated getting along and contact, the relationship between the two has become extremely good, and it has vaguely surpassed the friendship of classmates.

"Nothing urgent."

"Just want to say a word to you before leaving for the Flying Star." Lin Lanyue smiled faintly: "After all, it will be very difficult to contact when entering the Star Realm."

"Lieyu Star Realm?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

In a communication between the two the day before yesterday, Li Yuan already learned the name of the Star Realm and checked some information.

This is a Tier-Two Star Realm, very dangerous.

The overall pattern is somewhat similar to the Mingxu Star Realm... it seems that it has not erupted in a great battle, but it actually contains many secrets and dangers.

There are quite a few local Flying-level existences in the Lieyu Star Realm.

"Hmm." Lin Lanyue nodded and smiled: "The itinerary has been arranged, can't watch you win the virtual tournament championship, can only wait to come back alive and congratulate you."

"Good, for your congratulations, I have to try my best to win the championship." Li Yuan laughed.

Immediately, Li Yuan changed the subject, couldn't help but say: "Will there be life danger?"

After asking, Li Yuan shook his head and smiled: "I said a nonsense."

Roaming the Star Realm, how can there be no life danger.

"There is danger."

"But for me, some things must be done, if not done now, they will have to be done later." Lin Lanyue smiled frankly: "I have no choice."

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

Although Lin Lanyue didn't say it, Li Yuan could roughly guess some... children of big families are not as relaxed as ordinary people imagine, except for some playboys, most people are just as desperate.

And in fact, Lin Lanyue's strength progress speed has somewhat exceeded Li Yuan's expectations.

More than half a year.

Lin Lanyue's martial arts skills went from entering the Fourth-Stage to Fourth-Stage High Tier, although not as good as Tian Dazhuang's level, but the progress speed is also extremely amazing.

Time passed, and the two chatted slowly.

"Must come back alive." Li Yuan finally couldn't help but say, he felt inexplicably worried in his heart.

"Will."

……

Hanging up the video communication with Lin Lanyue.

Li Yuan's heart inexplicably flashed a trace of annoyance and worry.

"Hope it's okay." Li Yuan shook his head, suppressing all kinds of thoughts, trying to make his heart quiet.

Continued to practice quietly.

……

And several hundred kilometers away, where Li Yuan couldn't perceive, a small town, inside an unremarkable house.

"Blood Shadow!"

A black-robed figure stood in the room.

In front of him, there was another figure.

This figure looked exactly the same as him, just wearing blood-red robes, and the aura was very strange.

"Rainy night!"

"Perhaps it is truly a god-given opportunity." The black-robed figure sat in place, thinking silently.

Hoo!

That blood-robed figure, his body moved slightly, as if a shadow had integrated into the darkness.

Rushing toward Kunlun Martial Arts University.
