Chapter 231: Deep Cultivation! Three Star Pulses (Extra Chapter 27)

"After becoming a Source Martial Artist, go to a Tier-Two Star Realm to roam?" Dean Hai nodded slightly. "There is one thing I must remind you."

"Dean, please speak." Li Yuan listened.

"This time, the Principal and the others, in order to lure out the lurking alien Heaven-Flying level, pushed you to the forefront," Dean Hai looked at Li Yuan. "Although the alien Heaven-Flying level was ultimately killed... but you must understand, the alien forces eyeing you are not just one."

"The two strongest alien forces hostile to our Blue Star are the Tianliang Civilization and the Cloud Beast Civilization."

"Like the black dragon I killed before, it actually belonged to the Cloud Beast Civilization," Dean Hai said.

"Oh?" Li Yuan was surprised; this was the first time he had known this.

He knew quite a bit about the Tianliang race.

But the Cloud Beast Civilization? He had never come into contact with it.

"You cultivate in the school, with the Principal's deterrence and many Heaven-Flying Martial Artists, the probability of aliens assassinating you is very small; after all, everyone cherishes their lives," Dean Hai said. "But there are definitely people who have been watching you all along."

"Always paying attention to your whereabouts."

"Once you leave the school, various alien forces will definitely track you crazily," Dean Hai said. "Many scum and human traitors in our civilization dare not take action against you... but many dare to leak your whereabouts."

Li Yuan felt a chill in his heart.

Indeed, if they were true aliens, under his Divine Palace's investigation, most would have to reveal themselves.

The most worthy of vigilance are the human traitors.

Because you have no idea who is an internal mole; perhaps some inconspicuous First Rank martial artist or Source Martial Artist.

Even some top-tier Source Martial Artists with high status, or even Heaven-Flying Martial Artists, might secretly trade with aliens for their own interests and for certain treasures.

This is unavoidable.

"Dean, what do you mean?" Li Yuan asked.

"My personal suggestion is that from now until July, you should just cultivate diligently in the school and then go directly to Flying Star," Dean Hai looked at Li Yuan. "With your comprehension, your strength progress will definitely not be slow."

"With your progress speed, perhaps by July, your spear technique could step into the Fifth-Stage High Tier."

"After receiving the Martial God inheritance and returning, your strength will undergo a transformation."

"The Martial God inheritance is one of the greatest secrets of our civilization."

"You are still young, there is no need to be so anxious; wait until you return from Flying Star after receiving the Martial God inheritance, and your physical fitness reaches a high-stage Source Martial Artist... it won't be too late to go to a Tier-Two Star Realm for life-and-death roaming," Dean Hai said solemnly.

Li Yuan was silent.

Follow the steps and cultivate to a high-stage Source Martial Artist? How long would that take?

But Li Yuan could detect the change in Dean Hai's attitude.

Before, Dean Hai was very encouraging for him to go for life-and-death roaming, but now he is dissuading him... which is enough to show the risks hidden in the dark.

"Dean, I will consider it carefully," Li Yuan said. "Even if I decide to go, it will be after I become a Source Martial Artist, at least half a month later."

"Alright."

"I'm just giving you a suggestion; how you do it specifically depends on yourself," Dean Hai said. "If you really decide to go to a star realm to roam, after choosing the star realm, remember to send me a message in advance, and I will help you analyze the pros and cons again."

"At the same time, make arrangements in advance to help you hide your whereabouts."

"Yes," Li Yuan said; he felt Dean Hai's deep concern.

After seeing Dean Hai off.

Returning to the underground martial arts room, Li Yuan fell into deep thought.

"I really don't need to participate in the actual combat competition in June," Li Yuan thought to himself.

The purpose of the Alliance's high-level officials in holding the Global University Martial Arts Competition.

Is to select the most top-tier geniuses generation after generation.

Like the virtual battle and actual combat of the Blue Star Competition, the top three will directly receive the Martial God inheritance quota.

Therefore, according to convention, if you rush into the top three in the virtual battle, you generally won't go to participate in the actual combat.

Similarly.

Once you rush into the top three of the virtual battle or actual combat in a certain Blue Star Competition, you usually won't participate in the next one.

"And Dean Hai's suggestion for me to keep cultivating in seclusion cannot be said to be wrong; in a sense, it is very correct," Li Yuan thought to himself. "Now, I really don't need to take huge risks and roam too crazily."

Life-and-death roaming is to hone oneself.

But there is also a bottom line; roaming the star realm is for honing, not just for sending oneself to death.

If the risk of falling is too great and the benefits are insufficient, then one should give up.

"But spiritual awakening degree 40%, should I delay it until I return from Flying Star?" Li Yuan shook his head slightly.

That would be delaying too long.

Once the spiritual awakening degree reaches 40%, perform the fourth Source Power body entry.

According to Li Yuan's estimation, it can at least save him several months or even longer of Source Power cultivation time.

Source Martial Artists cultivate physical fitness, and the improvement of life level is much slower than First Rank martial artists.

"A surge in physical fitness will further nurture the soul," Li Yuan thought to himself. "At the same time, it will make the life star vitality in the body more powerful... whether it is cultivating Star Arts or awakening more star pulses, it is very beneficial."

"The improvement of the foundation is comprehensive, so when I go to Flying Star, my advantage will be even greater," Li Yuan also had ambition in his heart.

One step fast, every step fast.

Li Yuan's idea is very simple; he had chatted with Star Lord Bai Shan and the others before... after going to Flying Star, there are also differences in the Martial God inheritance quotas.

After arriving at Flying Star, what he has to face is not just the geniuses of the Blue Star, but also the geniuses from the other six major planets.

Geniuses gather.

One must become stronger to strive for a First-Class Martial God inheritance quota as soon as possible.

Or even a Special-Class Martial God inheritance quota.

"Secondly, the spiritual awakening degree reaches the 40% limit; perhaps if there is a chance later, I can push the limit to 50%," Li Yuan pondered silently.

If the spiritual awakening degree reaches 50%, it is not just Source Power body entry, but will also open the second spiritual guidance.

This is crucial.

"Still have to go."

Li Yuan made a decision: "But there is no need to make a big fanfare, nor is there a need to stay in the star realm for too long."

After thinking it through, Li Yuan didn't hesitate anymore and restarted today's cultivation.

"For the next period of time."

"First is to cultivate 《Great Sun Starry Sky Sutra》 and 《All Heavens Starry Stars》 with all my strength, and improve my physical fitness with all my strength," Li Yuan thought to himself. "Secondly, is to continue to hone my skills."

"Third, is to not slack off for a moment; as long as my mental energy recovers and my body can bear it, I will continue to work hard to awaken life stars."

"Strive to awaken more star pulses as soon as possible."

Star pulses are crucial and can be called the most important foundation on the road of martial arts cultivation.

It is the key to whether one can go further in the future.

"After becoming a Source Martial Artist, I will immediately apply for life-and-death roaming," Li Yuan planned his path forward: "At that time, I will set off quietly, and through killing enemies in the star realm, I will raise my spiritual awakening degree to 40%, complete the Source Power body entry, and then immediately return to school."

According to Li Yuan's estimation, this would probably only take a few days to more than ten days.

If hidden well, maybe the alien forces won't even know he left Kunlun Martial University.

Planning is very important.

Only by thinking through the plan and then moving forward according to the plan can one go faster and more steadily.

"In fact, the most important treasure for me right now should be the Earth God Crystal."

"If I can thoroughly complete the cultivation of the first two ranks of 《Earth Star Pulse True Explanation》, perhaps my compatibility with the Earth lineage will reach an astonishing level," Li Yuan thought to himself.

"However, at least I have to become a Source Martial Artist... it will be three to five months before I can report this to the Principal again."

The secret of the Heart Divine Palace cannot be exposed.

Time flies, day after day, and the storm of the Blue Star Competition virtual battle completely dissipated.

With repeated publicity, Li Yuan's Weibo fans have gradually reached an astonishing 80 million, but... because Li Yuan never sends any updates.

Plus the various publicity of the Star Fire Martial Hall gradually spreading, this fan count basically reached its limit in a short time.

However.

These could not interfere with Li Yuan; he had already devoted himself to cultivation.

Every day, starting from midnight, he performs basic training in meditation and Source Power methods.

Every two or three days, he will perform a "Law Creation" to try to awaken more life stars.

Almost all the remaining time is spent on spear technique cultivation.

Inside a huge martial arts room, over a hundred meters long and wide, it is a special martial arts room of Kunlun Martial University.

Li Yuan, wearing a special Source Power battle suit, holds a long spear.

Not far from him is Li Yang, holding a battle saber, looking at him with a smile.

"Teacher, let's start today's actual combat training," Li Yuan said solemnly.

"Alright."

"Just like yesterday, I will suppress my strength and speed to level 19; you come and feel the changes in my saber technique," Li Yang said.

Li Yuan nodded.

Boom!

Li Yang moved instantly; he took a step, and his entire momentum became incredibly terrifying, as if a great mountain was killing Li Yuan directly.

"Kill!"

Li Yuan's figure moved, also rushing towards Li Yang like a stream of light and lightning; the long spear was like a dragon, accompanied by a sharp whistle, instantly transforming into overwhelming spear light and stabbing out.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Layers of gorgeous saber light bloomed, easily blocking the spear light thrown by Li Yuan; the weapons collided continuously, and the terrifying impact force made Li Yuan unable to completely unload the true meaning killing move "Star River Swirl."

He could only retreat continuously.

Looking at Li Yang, his saber technique, every saber strike seemed not strong, but in fact, it erupted continuously, and the power was surprisingly strong, continuously pressing on Li Yuan.

Every saber strike seemed to faintly trigger the power of heaven and earth, with unparalleled power!

Suddenly.

"Destruction." The battle saber in Li Yang's hand changed suddenly, and the saber light fell on the spear light, as if it had fallen on the key point of Li Yuan's spear technique, making Li Yuan's spear momentum suffer a setback instantly.

Swish! Swish!

More saber light whistled and slashed, making Li Yuan unable to block this kind of impact anymore; the spear momentum completely collapsed, and his whole body flew backward and retreated, retreating for a full dozens of meters before stopping.

With the Source Power battle suit protecting his body, he wouldn't be injured.

Li Yang also stopped accordingly.

"Very good."

"Your progress is indeed fast; when the competition just ended, you had your first actual combat training with me, even if you used the true meaning killing move, you could only hold on for more than ten saber strikes," Li Yang said with a smile. "Now you can hold on for more than thirty."

"That's because my physical fitness improved," Li Yuan shook his head. "And Teacher, you suppressed your strength and speed; if we had the same physical fitness, I would only lose faster."

"Aren't you talking nonsense? I have Fifth-Stage High Tier skills, how long have you just stepped into the Fifth-Stage Medium Tier?" Li Yang said with a smile. "Skill progress is progress, no need to be humble."

Li Yuan couldn't help but smile.

Indeed.

It had been more than ten days since the end of the Blue Star Competition, and under his diligent cultivation, his progress was indeed very fast.

Li Yuan's peripheral vision couldn't help but look at the Divine Palace panel.

——

【Life Level: 19.9 (First Rank)】

Fist Strength: 68,800 kg

Speed: 113.2 m/s

Mental Energy: 30.5

Willpower: 32

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

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

Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fifth-Stage 41%), Movement Technique (Fifth-Stage 41%)

Star Art: Ninth-Layer Star Art 《Earth Star Pulse True Explanation》 (First Rank Level 6: Level 6)

Over these ten days.

Li Yuan's physical fitness and skill level had both improved greatly, especially the skills that had already crossed 5th Stage 40%.

According to this progress speed, in a few months, Li Yuan would be able to reach 5th Stage 59%.

"Li Yuan, your physical fitness should have reached level 19.9," Li Yang asked. "It's getting closer and closer to becoming a Source Martial Artist."

"It is very close," Li Yuan nodded. "In my current state of heaven and man as one, I can already faintly feel a small amount of Source Power pouring into my body... my body is very active."

This was the excuse Li Yuan had prepared long ago.

To gradually reveal his talent in star pulses.

"Oh? Can you sense it now? Good! Good! Good!" Li Yang was indeed happy. "Then try to sense the 'Life Star Space'; perhaps you can awaken life stars a little earlier."

"Haha, being able to start absorbing a trace of Source Power autonomously at level 19.9, your star pulse talent must be very high," Li Yang was quite excited.

"Yes, I will try as much as possible," Li Yuan said.

Returning to his villa.

"Although the life level has reached level 19.9, the fist strength and speed are still quite a bit away from the true First Rank limit," Li Yuan thought to himself.

Possessing the Divine Palace panel made Li Yuan very clear about which stage he was at.

"About another week."

"Wait until the fist strength exceeds 70,000 kg, then I can try to trigger the star pulse and achieve the Source Martial Artist status in one go," Li Yuan pondered.

There are two ways to become a Source Martial Artist.

One is to have a high-stage cultivation method that fits oneself, then after reaching various requirements, one can follow the guidance of the cultivation method... try to operate the three star pulses that are sensed and compatible, so that the body can quickly complete the transformation and achieve the Source Martial Artist status.

The other path is for martial artists without high-stage cultivation methods.

Then, after the physical fitness reaches level 19.9, if the triggering of Source Power fails, one can continue to improve physical fitness... until the Source Power is thoroughly triggered.

Usually, the physical fist strength is at least 70,000 kg, and up to about 80,000 kg; even martial artists without cultivation methods can sense the trace of Source Power swimming in heaven and earth and begin to absorb it into themselves.

One day later, late at night, Li Yuan tried to awaken life stars as usual.

Very abruptly.

"Hum~" An invisible wave swept past, followed by Li Yuan's body faintly trembling, followed by countless light points gathering like a silk thread, sweeping past Li Yuan's body surface and flowing through his whole body.

"Finally."

"Awakened another star pulse." Li Yuan revealed a smile.

At this moment, three star pulses shone on each other, making Li Yuan's aura quite extraordinary.

"A First-Layer Star Pulse, the cultivation efficiency really only adds 0.5," Li Yuan scanned the Divine Palace panel and muttered.

But he was already incredibly happy in his heart.

Awakened three star pulses, although two of them were still only First-Layer Star Pulses.

But an important obstacle to becoming a Heaven-Flying Martial Artist had already been broken through by Li Yuan unknowingly.

Distant Flying Star.

Inside a magnificent city, this city was like a piece of crimson, as if it were fire.

Above the city, there was a huge flying craft hovering, and there was a striking "flame" logo on the flying craft.

If some experts on Flying Star saw this logo, they would definitely recognize it at a glance—the Flame Family.

This is a famous big family among the high-level Flying Star, and this city is almost their fiefdom.

In a 12-story large building, top-floor office.

"Many people died?"

"How is that possible! The sixteen people from the Flame Family are all the most outstanding batch among the First Rank." The young man wearing a blue martial arts suit looked shocked, and then he was anxious: "How is my little sister?"

"Second brother, calm down."

"According to the news sent back, in the world within a world, a large Source Crystal vein was born, which is the root cause of the outbreak of war and conflict." The black-robed man's voice was low: "In the core of the vein, it is very likely to contain 'Earth God Crystal' and 'Fire God Crystal'."

"According to the token sensing, little sister is still alive, but has temporarily lost contact."
