Chapter 41

Half an hour later.

Li Yuan finally felt the wisps of overbearing and scorching energy flowing through his body gradually disappear.

"Every time I take a Yuan Force Essence Pill, it causes obvious changes in my body." Li Yuan sighed inwardly: "Today, my life layer actually improved by another 0.1."

Feeling his body undergo amazing transformations step by step was indeed refreshing.

"In just over half an hour, my maximum fist strength went a step further, rising to 732 kilograms?" Li Yuan glanced at the God Palace panel.

The medicinal effect of the Yuan Force Essence Pill hadn't been fully digested, but was hidden away.

For the next ten days or so, Li Yuan still had to cultivate hard so that his body's tendons, bones, and muscles could fully absorb it without wasting a bit.

"Before the January adjustment exam, I wonder if my physical fitness can reach 7.9." Li Yuan thought to himself.

From mid-October to now, more than two months.

It seems that the physical fitness only improved by 0.9, which seems to be about the same speed as before taking the Yuan Force Essence Pill.

But the improvement of the life layer is not linear; the further you go, the more astonishing the gap at each level.

The standard for 6-level physical fitness is 300 kilograms of fist strength.

The standard for 7-level physical fitness is 450 kilograms of fist strength.

And the standard for 8-level physical fitness is 800 kilograms of fist strength.

In other words, in just over two months, Li Yuan's fist strength improved by nearly 300 kilograms.

"In the first 10 levels of physical fitness, the gap from Level 7 to Level 8 is the largest, with various data indicators almost doubling." Li Yuan thought to himself: "Among martial arts university students, if they haven't awakened their martial arts spiritual nature, many of them won't necessarily reach Level 8 by the time they graduate from university."

Communicating with many martial artists in the Martial Hall allowed Li Yuan to understand more.

More than 80% of ranked martial artists have awakened their martial arts spiritual nature.

"I can improve so fast."

"Yuan Force Essence Pills play the biggest role." Li Yuan pondered: "My body's ability to withstand and digest... although not as formidable as Teacher Xu Bo said about two pills a month, being able to digest one every twenty days is already astonishing."

Over the past two months.

Li Yuan has already swallowed four Yuan Force Essence Pills.

The cost is huge, but the effect is remarkable.

If there were no Yuan Force Essence Pills, and he only took basic blood-energy potions, Li Yuan estimated his current physical fitness would only be Level 7.3 or 7.4.

"Teacher Xu was also right."

"After physical fitness reaches a certain level, let alone continuing to improve, even maintaining it is difficult." Li Yuan waved his hand suddenly.

"Whoosh!"

His palm, like a blade, tore through the air.

Since his life layer broke through 7.5, Li Yuan clearly felt the effect of the Yuan Force Essence Pill weakening.

Eating nutritional meals? Taking basic blood-energy potions? The effect is even weaker.

Li Yuan could foresee.

Once he becomes a martial artist, if he only eats nutritional meals and basic blood-energy potions, his physical fitness will likely be hard to continue improving.

By then, the auxiliary cultivation effect of the Yuan Force Essence Pill will also weaken by more than half... the more powerful the body, the more energy it consumes when cultivating and fighting.

Want to keep improving rapidly? First, use higher-level treasures, and second, the body must be able to withstand it.

"Martial arts spiritual nature!"

"If one can practice high-stage cultivation techniques, one can directly absorb Yuan Force from the universe." A light flashed in Li Yuan's eyes: "No wonder the Seven Star Alliance values the martial arts spiritual nature indicator so much."

Practicing high-stage cultivation techniques can greatly save resources.

Not only for the individual, but it is also beneficial for the entire human civilization.

Thinking of this.

Li Yuan couldn't help but raise his smart ring to check the account balances of the National Bank and the Martial Hall.

Bank Balance: 1,125,124 Blue Star coins

Martial Hall Points: 1,946,880

Martial Hall Cultivation Points: 750,000

At nine o'clock in the evening, Li Yuan changed his clothes and walked out of the martial arts room, heading toward the elevator.

"Li Yuan, leaving now?"

"Uncle Wang."

"Brother Liu."

Martial artists wearing martial arts gear greeted Li Yuan from time to time, appearing very enthusiastic, and Li Yuan responded to them one by one.

"Li Yuan, heading back? Your younger brother and sister just went downstairs." A young man in an instructor's uniform with a crew cut walked over and greeted Li Yuan with a smile.

"Alright, thanks Brother Liu." Li Yuan smiled.

This young man with a crew cut had just graduated from a martial arts university and had recently become a martial artist, responsible for teaching public free martial arts classes.

Li Qianqian and Li Muhua were considered his students.

Therefore, he was quite familiar with Li Yuan.

Over the past two months, everyone in the martial artist circle of the Starfire Martial Hall's Guanshan Branch basically knew that Li Yuan was a B-level martial arts genius signed by the Martial Hall in advance.

A B-level contract means at least a Level 16 martial artist in the future, with a certain probability of becoming a Yuan martial artist, and huge potential.

Secondly, even the "Instructor Xing," who was the chief instructor, was extremely enthusiastic and polite every time he saw Li Yuan, let alone these ordinary martial artists and instructors?

"In the past, I was just an ordinary student; I couldn't even enter the door when I came to the Martial Hall building, who would look at me straight?" Li Yuan thought to himself.

"Now? When Brother Liu guides Qianqian and Muhua in cultivation, he's even more enthusiastic than when teaching other middle school students."

When you are strong, the people around you will become amiable.

... The elevator door opened, and Li Yuan was about to enter when his eyes suddenly narrowed.

There was someone he knew.

"Li Yuan?" The girl standing in the elevator also seemed a bit surprised.

"Lin Lanyue, long time no see." Li Yuan greeted her generously.

A few months ago, the virtual duel between the two caused a stir in the school.

But after so long, Li Yuan hadn't made any further moves, and with the senior year study becoming increasingly tense, various rumors had long since vanished.

On the contrary, when they met at school occasionally, they could still greet each other.

Today's Lin Lanyue wasn't wearing a martial arts uniform; instead, she was in casual wear, with a long cashmere coat on top, paired with a slim-fitting turtleneck sweater, making her fair and rosy skin stand out even more. She wore a pair of light blue jeans on the bottom, outlining her long and beautifully curved legs. It was clearly different from her usual student attire.

"Li Yuan, why are you at the Martial Hall?" Lin Lanyue looked slightly puzzled.

"Something came up." Li Yuan smiled, not explaining much.

Whether it was the principal or Teacher Xu Bo, no one had mentioned the fact that he had signed with the Starfire Martial Hall in advance.

It hadn't spread in the school at all.

Li Yuan didn't want to attract attention for things that didn't benefit him, so he naturally wouldn't talk about it.

"Yueyue, is this your classmate? I don't seem to have seen him before." A young woman of about thirty standing to the side, wearing a mink coat, had a trace of vigilance flash in her eyes.

In her impression, Lin Lanyue rarely took the initiative to greet boys.

"He's from Senior Year (Class 2)." Lin Lanyue explained.

"Senior Year (Class 2)?" The young woman frowned slightly.

!.

A student from an ordinary class?

How did the two of them know each other?

"Li Yuan, this is my aunt." Lin Lanyue introduced him proactively.

Lin Lanyue was very appreciative and impressed by Li Yuan, who could defeat her in martial arts skill.

Moreover, over the past few months, Li Yuan had never actively approached her again, which made Lin Lanyue realize that Li Yuan was indeed different from those boys who tried to pursue her.

"Hello, Aunt." Li Yuan greeted her as a matter of course.

The young woman was stunned upon hearing this—Aunt?

Did she look that old?

Beep~ The elevator door opened.

"I have something to do, I'll go first." Li Yuan smiled: "See you at school."

He walked straight out of the elevator.

"See you at school." Lin Lanyue nodded, and then she and the young woman followed slowly out of the elevator.

They weren't in a hurry to leave, but watched Li Yuan walk away.

"Yueyue, don't associate with boys from ordinary classes like that in the future." The young woman frowned.

Lin Lanyue was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Aunt, do you remember the time I was defeated on the Starry Sky Fighting Network?"

"Hmm? Xiao Qiang mentioned it." The young woman reacted: "Was it him?"

"Yes." Lin Lanyue nodded, looking at Li Yuan who was walking away: "His spear technique is very powerful; I was no match for him in virtual combat."

"So what if his skill is powerful?"

"He hasn't awakened his martial arts spiritual nature; at most, he can get into Jiangbei Martial Arts University. Do you think he can get into the five major prestigious universities?" The young woman snorted.

Lin Lanyue smiled and didn't refute.

She knew her aunt's personality; she didn't look down on Li Yuan, she was just dissatisfied that Li Yuan had called her "Aunt" just now.

"Hmm, Instructor Xing is over there." The young woman's eyes lit up: "Let's go, come with me to say hello."

"Oh." Lin Lanyue nodded.

She rarely came to the Starfire Martial Hall on weekdays and didn't care about any instructors.

Suddenly.

"That boy?" The young woman raised her brows, feeling slightly puzzled: "Instructor Xing took the initiative to stop and greet him?"

"Really?" Lin Lanyue also looked over in surprise.

Not far away.

Instructor Xing had stopped Li Yuan and was chatting with him with a smile; to outsiders, it didn't look like an elder treating a junior, but rather like an exchange between peers.

After a good while.

Instructor Xing waved Li Yuan out of the building, and then walked toward the elevator side.

The young woman pulled Lin Lanyue and took the initiative to greet him.

"Instructor Xing." The young woman revealed a brilliant smile.

"Miss You." Instructor Xing recognized the young woman and smiled: "Here for physical therapy again today?"

Instructor Xing looked at Lin Lanyue: "You... you should be Hall Master Lin's daughter, Lin Lanyue?"

"You know me?" Lin Lanyue said in surprise.

"I remember."

"I saw you when you were little while Hall Master Lin was still in Jiangcheng." Instructor Xing smiled: "I was also there when I went to your school for an inspection last time, but there were too many people, so I didn't greet you."

"Later, our Martial Hall sent you an invitation for a C-level contract, but you didn't agree."

Lin Lanyue couldn't help but smile.

Her father was a member of the Starry Sky Martial Hall, so he naturally wouldn't agree to the Starfire Martial Hall's invitation to sign in advance.

"Instructor Xing, that boy just now, who is he?" The young woman pointed at Li Yuan, who had just walked out of the building.

"Oh?"

"You mean Li Yuan?" Instructor Xing looked back and smiled: "He's from the same school as Xiao Lin, doesn't Xiao Lin know?"

"Not very familiar." Lin Lanyue shook her head.

"He is a B-level signed member of our Martial Hall." Instructor Xing smiled: "This young man is very excellent."

Instructor Xing walked into the elevator.

"Yueyue."

"Are you lying to me? Didn't you say he was from an ordinary class? How could he be signed by the Starfire Martial Hall in advance? And a B-level contract at that?"

The young woman was stunned for a long time, looking at Lin Lanyue with a suspicious gaze: "Are you two in a relationship? Otherwise, why lie to me?"

"Aunt, I really didn't lie to you." Lin Lanyue's bright eyes were also full of confusion, and she affirmed: "Li Yuan is really from Senior Year (Class 2)."

"I've never heard of someone who hasn't awakened their martial arts spiritual nature being able to sign a B-level contract in advance." The young woman shook her head: "Your grades are so good, and you only qualified for a C-level in the last test."

Lin Lanyue was already too lazy to respond to her aunt, lowering her head and frowning in deep thought.

That's right, I only qualified for a C-level!

Why did Li Yuan sign a B-level?
