Chapter 282

Mount Qixing, inside the martial arts room of the villa residence.

The martial arts room of Mount Qixing members is even more massive than that of ordinary members and elite members.

The length and width both reach one kilometer, and the height even reaches 200 meters... Such a massive martial arts room is enough for True Intent Origin Martial Artists to practice moves.

Li Yuan is standing in the center of the martial arts room.

Swish! ~ Accompanied by an invisible ripple sweeping past, Li Yuan's figure moved, and the whole person split into two figures; the clothes and attire they wore were exactly the same, and it was impossible to distinguish them with the naked eye alone.

Two Li Yuans.

Boom! Boom!

Both figures moved at the same time, and in an instant, they both burst out with terrifying speed; the two streams of light crossed on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, they had both rushed out hundreds of meters.

Following closely, one of Li Yuan's figures moved again.

The two figures immediately turned into three figures.

"Cultivating this 'Shadow Transformation Clone' to the Second Rank limit truly has astonishing effects; it can actually make me trigger the Wind Mystery in a single thought, directly forming two phantom bodies." Li Yuan exclaimed in his heart: "Before cultivating, it was difficult for me to even cultivate one phantom body."

There are many aspects to the Wind Mystery that can be taken; some tend towards speed, pursuing extreme explosive speed.

Some tend towards 'Shadow Stealth', like Rudnev, who walks this path, extremely skilled at ambushing opponents.

And Li Yuan was focused on combining with the Earth Mystery from the beginning, focusing on the 'phantom body' aspect of the Wind Mystery, which has similarities to Rudnev's path, but is not exactly the same.

"With normal Fifth Stage Perfection perception, it's hard to form even one phantom body." Li Yuan revealed a smile: "Yet I, relying on Star Arts, was able to form two phantom bodies."

"And each phantom body has a certain attack power, making it even more deceptive."

Star Arts are essentially about excavating body potential and perception of the mysteries of Heaven and Earth to the greatest extent, allowing oneself to exert two hundred, or even three hundred percent of one's strength.

"Combine the two great mysteries of Earth and Wind." Li Yuan's heart moved again, triggering the Earth True Intent.

Boom!

Within a radius of dozens of meters, wisps of fine earthy-yellow airflow formed immediately, and at the same time, the three Li Yuans in the domain performed movement techniques simultaneously, weird and unpredictable, astonishingly fast.

"In the domain, the phantom bodies are like fish in water."

"My pure Earth True Intent and Wind Mystery are not considered strong among Flying Martial Artists." A glimmer of expectation flashed in Li Yuan's eyes: "But with the two great mysteries combined, in terms of pure skill, it should already be close to many peak Flying powerhouses."

"This path is the right one." Li Yuan thought to himself.

Skill perception is inherently more difficult the further one goes.

Like genius figures such as Rudnev and Yu Jinghe, the leading figures of the young generation of the Qixing civilization in an era, all spent more than 10 years to make their True Intent mysteries cross from the Sixth Stage Initial Tier to the Sixth Stage Mid-Tier.

During the year of following Demigod Lie Feng to cultivate, most of Li Yuan's energy was used to ponder the Wind Mystery.

If he had focused on pondering the Earth True Intent, with Li Yuan's cultivation speed, one could only say there was a certain hope of making the Earth True Intent reach the Sixth Stage Mid-Tier... but there was no absolute certainty.

But even if the Earth True Intent broke through, the comprehensive strength would still be far inferior to what it is now.

"Combining mysteries has both advantages and disadvantages." Li Yuan thought to himself: "But at least for me now, the two great mysteries of Heaven and Earth are mutually promoting, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."

Whoosh!

With a thought, the two phantom bodies Li Yuan performed dissipated.

"Hmm?"

"The mission application has already been approved?" Li Yuan looked down at his smart ring.

To apply for a mission, one must also have the approval from above to be qualified to participate in the war.

"Time to go." Li Yuan quickly packed his things and then came outside the palace.

Whoosh!

Turning into a stream of light, he flew towards the entrance and exit of the Martial God Star Realm.

Not long after.

After passing the identity verification at the entrance and exit, Li Yuan successfully entered the passage... Ordinary Martial God Hall members, if they haven't received permission, do not enter or exit at will.

... War base outside.

Inside a conference room.

"Haha, Yan Jing, it actually turned out to be you." Dean Hai laughed: "I was guessing before who accepted the mission, never expected it would be you."

"I also have to congratulate you on successfully condensing True Intent." Dean Hai laughed: "Being able to become a True Intent Origin Martial Artist, you belong to the top tier in the Martial God Star Realm, and in the future, you will definitely be stronger than me; the school will be proud of you in the future."

"Student doesn't dare." Yan Jing laughed: "I can only say I didn't lose face for the school."

"Student also didn't expect that it would be you, Dean Hai, responsible for picking us up."

Except for Li Yuan, Yan Jing and Jin Huguo are already the most outstanding students of Kunlun Martial University in the last few decades.

Yan Jing came from the Second Academy and was not Dean Hai's student back then.

But seeing each other again now, they both felt close.

"You condensed True Intent not long ago, are you confident?" Dean Hai asked, still feeling a bit worried in his heart.

"Dean Hai, don't worry."

"For so many years, I have long since cultivated my Star Arts to the limit." Yan Jing laughed: "Now that True Intent has broken through, with a little adaptation, my strength can be exerted to the limit."

"That's good." Dean Hai nodded: "You are Mount Qixing No. 31, so do you know who No. 32 is? Is it a True Intent Origin Martial Artist?"

"No. 32? No. 32 also applied to participate in the war?" Yan Jing was stunned for a moment.

He hadn't looked at the refreshed Mount Qixing ranking yet.

Suddenly, Yan Jing thought of the news from a few days ago, thought of a figure, and he was just about to speak.

"Dean Hai, Senior Brother Yan Jing." A voice had already sounded at the door.

Following closely, a figure wearing black battle armor appeared.

"Li Yuan? It really is you!" Yan Jing's eyes lit up.

"Li Yuan?" Dean Hai was stunned for a moment.

Li Yuan's arrival made both Yan Jing and Dean Hai feel quite surprised.

Immediately, Dean Hai realized.

Yan Jing was upgraded to No. 31 not long after breaking through... Li Yuan seems to have just broken through, so naturally, he should be promoted to No. 32.

"Li Yuan, you are being a bit childish."

Dean Hai said sternly: "Although the war pressure in Luo Bu Sea is great, it hasn't reached the point of life and death after all... It hasn't reached the point where you need to risk your life."

For some very important missions, the Alliance's high echelon will forcibly order the geniuses of Mount Qixing to participate in the war.

Like the Lieyu Star Realm, Mingxu Star Realm... are all barely considered missions of this level.

The war in the Luo Bu Sea Star Realm? Although it is also important, even if it is lost once, it will at most affect the local area... It will not cause a huge impact on the entire Qixing civilization, so the Alliance will not forcibly issue orders.

After all, the number of geniuses on Mount Qixing is limited, and they need a lot of time to cultivate. If they were allowed to participate in all the wars, large and small, in all Second-Tier Star Realms, the death rate would soar... which is not beneficial to the long-term development of the entire civilization.

Good steel must be used on the blade.

"You just broke through not long ago; what you should do is cultivate with peace of mind and consolidate your foundation." Dean Hai said solemnly.

He knew about the feud between Li Yuan and the alien races in the Luo Bu Sea Star Realm... so when they met two days ago, he entrusted Li Yuan not to apply for missions.

"Dean, I am confident." Li Yuan smiled: "Didn't you just say that we still have to wait for another Mount Qixing member to arrive before setting off?"

"If you don't believe me, why don't we spar once while we have this time?"

"Spar with me?" A glimmer of light flashed in Dean Hai's eyes, as if he were re-evaluating Li Yuan.

A hint of surprise also appeared in Yan Jing's eyes.

You must know, Dean Hai is not the kind of Flying Martial Artist who just broke through... his strength is extraordinary.

"Good."

"Li Yuan, I won't use Star Arts, and I will also restrain some strength; as long as you can block my attack." Dean Hai said in a low voice: "I will agree to let you participate in the war, otherwise... I will definitely report to the principal and revoke your mission qualification."

"No problem."

At the bottom of this war base.

A massive sparring space has been built.

Just in terms of space size, it is even more massive than Li Yuan's Mount Qixing martial arts room, and the material of the sparring space is special, fully capable of withstanding the sparring of ordinary Flying Martial Artists.

Inside the sparring space, Li Yuan and Dean Hai stood hundreds of meters apart, confronting each other from afar, with only Yan Jing watching the battle.

Boom!

Li Yuan instantly performed the body-refining Star Art, his body turned three meters tall, and the whole person exuded a powerful and vigorous aura.

The Third Rank Upper Grade battle armor covered his whole body like flowing water, even his head was completely covered, and the scales were all black, only the surface vaguely flickered with a hint of earthy-yellow light.

"Body-refining Star Art? What a strong aura." Dean Hai's eyes lit up; he is such a powerhouse, naturally he can feel the change in Li Yuan's life aura.

Relying on this body-refining Star Art, Li Yuan's body foundation soared to the Flying-level threshold.

Boom!

Dean Hai no longer held back, his figure flickered and he had already killed his way in front of Li Yuan.

Swish~ A wisp of blue blade light cut through the long sky, attacking Li Yuan like lightning.

"Clang!" Li Yuan's figure was like a gust of wild wind, and at the same time, the long spear in his hand stabbed straight out, bombarding Dean Hai's blade light, blocking this terrifying strike.

The two of them immediately unfolded a crazy fight.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Nine consecutive blade lights erupted, like continuous waves; when they bombarded over, Li Yuan only felt endless water currents sweeping over... This is the Water True Intent Mystery.

Immediately, Li Yuan was forced to retreat step by step; Li Yuan's figure flickered nine times in succession, and he had already retreated hundreds of meters.

Nine collisions made Li Yuan thoroughly understand that he couldn't block it head-on.

Dean Hai is 34-level after all; even if he didn't use Star Arts and restrained his power explosion... his strength is still extremely terrifying.

"Shadow Domain." Li Yuan directly performed his ultimate move.

Boom~

Wisps of earthy-yellow airflow erupted instantly, covering a radius of dozens of meters in an instant, followed by Li Yuan splitting into three, the three phantom bodies simultaneously waving their long spears, roaring and stabbing at Dean Hai.

"Phantom bodies?"

"Can actually form so many phantom bodies in the domain?" Dean Hai was also caught off guard; a sweep of his spiritual sense couldn't distinguish them at all... If the phantom bodies formed by the Five-Layer Star Art were so easily identified, they would be too weak.

Boom!

Dean Hai also exploded immediately; streams of water were born out of thin air, surging and impacting in all directions, and at the same time, a battle saber appeared in his left hand.

"Clang clang clang clang!"

Spear shadows collided with blade lights like water currents; the stabbing speed of the three long spears was too fast.

For a time, Dean Hai found it difficult to parry, completely entangled by Li Yuan.

Yan Jing, watching the battle from afar, looked at this scene in shock: "Li Yuan can actually fight Dean Hai to this point?"

Even if Dean Hai put away many means.

But the skill mysteries exploded are real!

"Too powerful." Yan Jing was secretly shocked in his heart: "If Li Yuan exploded with full strength to fight me... I'm afraid I would lose my life in a few rounds."

Two great mysteries combined.

Three great Star Arts on his body... have already made Li Yuan's combat power reach a terrifying level.

Finally.

"Domain!" Dean Hai went crazy; being beaten by Li Yuan all along also made him unable to hold his face, and the water currents around him instantly became incomparably violent and surging, with power increasing by more than ten times.

Rumble~

Violent water currents swept across the long sky, killing over like water dragons, causing the domain airflow that Li Yuan formed in a single thought to be directly torn apart and annihilated layer by layer.

Following closely, the violent water currents also impacted Li Yuan's three phantom bodies.

More than ten seconds later, Li Yuan gave up resistance.

"Dean Hai, I lost." Li Yuan spread his hands, but the smile on his face couldn't be covered.

"What did you lose?"

"You even forced me to use the domain Star Art to defeat you." Dean Hai shook his head and sighed: "I'm old."

"This move of yours should be the combination of two great mysteries, right?" Dean Hai couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm hmm." Li Yuan nodded.

There was no need to hide this; as long as a normal Flying Martial Artist fights him, as long as they aren't a fool, they can feel it.

"Dean, am I qualified to participate in the war now?" Li Yuan laughed.

"Enough." Dean Hai sighed with emotion: "I really don't know how you cultivate; you've only been in the Martial God Star Realm for a year, right? How can your strength be so much stronger?"

"Junior Brother Li Yuan." Yan Jing also flew over, his face full of shock: "With your strength, I'm afraid even Yu Jinghe might not be your opponent."

Li Yuan couldn't help but smile.

In terms of physical fitness, skills, Star Arts, and weapons... he is no worse than Yu Jinghe in any aspect, so his overall strength can naturally rival or even defeat the other party.

"Brother Yu and I each have our own strengths." Li Yuan smiled: "In terms of absolute attack power, he should be stronger than me."

Metal True Intent is extremely skilled at attacking.

Another while passed.

"Okay."

"The other Mount Qixing member has arrived, get ready to go." Dean Hai said: "Li Yuan, your true strength... don't leak it out for now, Yan Jing, you don't leak it either."

"Okay."

"Understood."

Ten hours later.

Li Yuan, Yan Jing, and three other Mount Qixing members arrived outside the Xia Nation Luo Bu Sea Star Realm passage, following Dean Hai.

The earth is vast, and yellow sand fills the sky.

The setting sun is like blood, dyeing the horizon into a gorgeous red sea... Massive war fortresses stand tall, along with a large number of weapon towers and countless mechanical army figures, a very magnificent scene.

High in the sky.

"I've seen so many war bases gathered in one place for the first time." Yan Jing couldn't help but say.

"Me too, I only saw it in videos before." Li Yuan nodded slightly, a glimmer of inexplicable light in his eyes, and even more heroism in his heart.

Childhood dreams, unknowingly, were all being realized.

"Those three ordinary Mount Qixing members have already been arranged to leave." Dean Hai whispered: "You two... are strategic-level, follow me to meet the supreme commander here."

"Supreme commander?" Yan Jing revealed a hint of doubt: "Who?"

"General Lin."

Inside an ultra-large conference room of a war fortress.

Several figures wearing battle armor, among whom several had clearly very strong life auras.

They were waiting here.

"Senior Lin."

A young woman wearing black battle armor frowned: "How much longer until they arrive?"

"Don't be anxious." A burly figure with a face about thirty years old, wearing silver battle armor, said in a low voice.

Suddenly, the burly figure in silver battle armor revealed a smile: "They've already arrived."
