Chapter 31: Given too much

"B-grade contract?"

"Once I awaken martial arts spirituality, it will directly upgrade to an A-grade contract?" Li Yuan felt a bit dizzy.

He felt like he had been suddenly hit by happiness.

After all, before this, even though he had entered the Blue Star Youth List, the Starfire Martial Hall and the Martial Arts Hall had no news at all, and the only one with an intention was the Starry Sky Martial Hall.

And the Starry Sky Martial Hall had stalled for half a month, and in the end, what they were willing to provide was only a D-grade contract.

The difference between a D-grade contract and a B-grade contract was not just a little bit.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan took a deep breath; he wasn't overwhelmed by the excitement and instantly remembered his uncle Li Zhangzhou's teachings since childhood: "No matter how excited or happy, or angry or painful, before making a major decision, you must calm down and ask yourself three questions."

What is it!

Why!

How to do it!

Summarized in four words—Stay steady! Don't be reckless!

In just a few seconds, Li Yuan calmed down again and found the core question: "Why?"

Why did this Hall Master Wan want to provide him with a B-grade contract? This was a contract worth over ten million; just the cash provided was nearly ten million Blue Star coins.

He wasn't Lu Bu, and he didn't have so many foster fathers to love him.

"Hall Master Wan."

Li Yuan said calmly: "A B-grade contract is very good, better than I expected... it's just that, Hall Master, why do you want to give me such a contract? I haven't even awakened my martial arts spirituality."

There must be a demon if things are abnormal.

Because his physical fitness is good? There are not a few students in the elite classes who are better than him.

Martial arts skills? He is not bad, but he is not at the level of being peerless in the world.

"His temperament is steady, not overwhelmed by interests." Hall Master Wan smiled and looked at Li Yuan, his evaluation of him rising again.

Hall Master Wan smiled: "I don't want to hide it from you; I am willing to provide a B-grade contract because your spiritual power is very strong, probably comparable to a first-rank martial artist."

Spiritual power? Li Yuan was slightly shocked in his heart.

The other party could actually sense the strength of spiritual power?

That's right, he cultivated "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture" every day, and his spiritual power was constantly improving, having reached 13.2; among martial artists, it probably wasn't too weak.

Spiritual power, most of the time, improves synchronously with the body.

"Of course, I can only sense it vaguely, and the judgment is not accurate." Hall Master Wan continued: "Technological instruments cannot directly test spiritual power. If you want to detect it, generally a third-rank martial artist needs to detect it personally... I am only a second-rank Source Martial Artist, my cultivation method is special, plus your strength is relatively weak and you cannot fully restrain your spiritual power, so I can sense one or two."

"If you were a martial artist, your spiritual power would be restrained in your sea of consciousness, and it would be difficult for me to sense it." Hall Master Wan said very frankly, without any posture of a superior.

Treating Li Yuan was like chatting, making people feel very comfortable.

Hall Master Wan's words solved many of Li Yuan's doubts, but also gave rise to new ones.

"Is spiritual power strong enough for a B-grade contract?" Li Yuan couldn't help but say.

Li Yuan knew spiritual power was important, but to what extent? He didn't know.

There was no detailed information online either.

"Whether it is important depends on the person." Hall Master Wan smiled: "If you want to become a second-rank Source Martial Artist, then spiritual power is crucial, but if you are only a first-rank martial artist... the difference in spiritual power being strong or weak is not big."

"After all, no matter how strong your spiritual power is, if someone cuts your head off, you will die."

Li Yuan nodded slightly, and thought to himself: "Source Martial Artist? This Hall Master Wan is actually a Source Martial Artist? Sure enough, he is stronger than Teacher Xu."

First-rank martial artist?

Second-rank Source Martial Artist?

The division of levels among martial artists is not entirely a secret in society, and Li Yuan and these third-year high school students are mostly keen on this and mostly understand it.

Martial artist levels are divided by physical fitness.

1-9.9, all belong to the category of ordinary people.

10.0-19.9, belong to ranked martial artists, also known as first-rank martial artists.

20.0-29.9, are called second-rank martial artists.

Source Martial Artist is an honorific for second-rank martial artists and above.

First-rank martial artists with physical fitness of 10-19 mostly need to use thermal weapons for assistance to contend with Star Realm creatures.

Source Martial Artists have a physical fitness of at least 20, plus they can use magical Source power, and their strength is incomparably powerful; ordinary thermal weapons are basically ineffective against them.

They use cold weapons, cooperate with Source power, and can fight with powerful Star Realm creatures... it's just that Source Martial Artists are extremely rare.

At least, in the past ten years, except for various images, Li Yuan hadn't encountered a Source Martial Artist in real life.

Hall Master Wan was the first one.

"Your martial arts skills and physical fitness have improved so fast recently, it should be directly related to spiritual power." Hall Master Wan smiled: "Spiritual power is difficult to detect intuitively, plus those with extraordinary spiritual power talent are extremely rare... for example, Jiang City has a population of 20 million, and not even one appears in a year."

"Therefore, in things like the college entrance examination, or even ordinary special recruitment, spiritual power will not be included in the detection range."

"Moreover, generally speaking, even if you don't detect it, such people with extraordinary spiritual power talent will slowly reveal themselves when they reach university, and it won't be too late to cultivate them specifically then."

Li Yuan realized, and after a little thought, he understood.

Detect spiritual power? Basically, you need a third-rank martial artist, but the number of second-rank Source Martial Artists is already extremely rare.

The strength of a third-rank martial artist... is beyond the understanding of ordinary people; how could such a person have time to do this kind of thing?

The input and return are not proportional.

"And you, Li Yuan." Hall Master Wan smiled: "Are that kind of one-in-a-million person with extraordinary spiritual power talent."

Li Yuan was speechless.

He probably wasn't that kind of person.

"However, I can cultivate 'Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture', and the upper limit will only be stronger than those with extraordinary talent." Li Yuan muttered to himself.

From Hall Master Wan's attitude.

Li Yuan had already realized how precious "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture" was; it could directly improve spiritual power? It absolutely belonged to that kind of unimaginable method.

It was just that Li Yuan didn't want to expose it for the time being.

Because, judging from his own experience, just having the method seemed useless.

"Every time I can cultivate, it is my consciousness condensing on the Great Sun Jade Platform in the Heart Spirit Palace." Li Yuan's thoughts turned: "If I hand over the method? It is very likely to endanger myself first."

"How do I explain the origin of the method? Say I awakened it myself?"

Who would believe it?

Would he be taken by big shots to do experiments? It was entirely possible.

Only two seconds.

Li Yuan had already thought clearly; before understanding the true secret of "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture".

Before having enough strength to protect himself, he must never leak the secret of the Heart Spirit Palace.

"In the future, when I cultivate 'Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture', I must be careful and not be noticed by anyone." Li Yuan made up his mind.

"Li Yuan."

"What do you think?" Hall Master Wan smiled: "A B-grade contract is the highest authority I can give, 9 million Blue Star coins in cash, resources and treasures with a total value of 9 million Blue Star coins, plus teacher guidance, spear technique secret manuals, and Source power secret manuals with a total value of '18 million Blue Star coins'."

"Given in six installments over six years."

"If you are still not satisfied, I am willing to sponsor you another one million in cash privately." Hall Master Wan smiled and looked at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan held his breath, doubting he had heard wrong.

He had thought a B-grade contract was good, but he hadn't thought it would be this good.

Let's not talk about the 18 million Blue Star coins worth of teacher guidance and secret manuals; this stuff is not a physical object, and the value is very virtual.

But just the cash + treasures, the total value is 18 million Blue Star coins.

It is three times the D-grade contract!

Even if given over six years, for a teenager like Li Yuan who is just in his third year of high school, it is incomparably exaggerated.

Moreover, Hall Master Wan is also willing to provide a private sponsorship of one million Blue Star coins? Still cash?

It made Li Yuan feel even more incredible.

Yes.

Like a B-grade contract, worth tens of millions of Blue Star coins, but that is provided by the Martial Hall, not Hall Master Wan's own money.

But private sponsorship is Hall Master Wan's own real money.

"Whoosh!"

Li Yuan took a deep breath, his heart unable to calm down for a long time.

It wasn't that Li Yuan wasn't steady enough, it was really... the other party gave too much.

Hall Master Wan wasn't in a hurry, smiling and looking at Li Yuan.

"Hall Master Wan."

Li Yuan finally opened his mouth and said: "The conditions you provided are indeed so good that I cannot refuse... it's just that, I still have to go home and discuss it."

"No problem, you are not an adult yet; to sign early, you originally have to have your guardian sign." Hall Master Wan agreed.

"In addition." Li Yuan hesitated and said: "Two days ago, the Starry Sky Martial Hall looked for me and also mentioned wanting to sign early with me, but it was only a D-grade contract, and I haven't agreed yet."

"I originally planned to talk about it this weekend." Li Yuan chose to tell the truth and didn't deliberately exaggerate.

"Starry Sky Martial Hall?"

"Looking for you to sign early? How could they?" This time it was Hall Master Wan's turn to be stunned.

Only one second.

Hall Master Wan seemed to realize something.

"Li Yuan, wait a moment." Hall Master Wan raised his hand, opened his smart ring, and quickly checked something.

Soon, Hall Master Wan stopped his fingers sliding on the light screen.

"So that's it."

Hall Master Wan suddenly smiled: "Li Yuan, you have actually entered the Blue Star Youth List; I just took office, and I didn't know about this document before."

"The Blue Star Youth List comes from the Starry Sky Fighting Network... the Starry Sky Martial Hall has a good plan."

"They must have discovered it."

"But according to your conditions, even if you sign early, you should at least be given a C-grade contract."

"Giving a D-grade contract? It's simply an insult to a martial arts genius like you." Hall Master Wan shook his head gently.

"An insult to me?" Li Yuan was stunned.
