Chapter 56: Senior, I recommend someone to you

"164? That's six more than last week," Li Yuan nodded slightly.

Li Yuan had to admit that although his martial arts skills were improving fast.

Looking at martial arts geniuses on a global scale, the number was still very large.

"Xiaoyu, is there any extra reward for entering the global top 1000?" Li Yuan asked with a smile.

"No," the girl replied. "However, according to the Master's age, as long as you reach the Meteor rank before the age of 18, you can receive a reward of 500,000 Blue Star coins."

Li Yuan nodded slightly, but his goal wasn't the 500,000 Blue Star coins rewarded by the Star Combat Network.

The most important thing was the Martial Hall's A-level contract.

"To upgrade from a B-level contract to an A-level contract, among the three paths, the third one requires reaching 300 points in the Meteor rank on the Star Combat Network before the age of 18," Li Yuan thought, feeling quite expectant.

Once the contract is upgraded, the numerous resources gifted by the Martial Hall will surge by a large margin.

The total value would be at least tens of millions of Blue Star coins.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan's mind stirred, and he exited the virtual network.

……

Past three in the morning.

Li Yuan, as in the past, arrived at school early.

Inside the 4011 Martial Arts Room, the lights were all on, and the recording and skill analysis functions were all activated.

"Whoosh!"

Li Yuan stood in the center of the martial arts room, beginning to execute the Rock Fist Technique.

Standing there, he was like an immovable boulder; between movement and stillness, fists and palms alternated.

"Boom~" From time to time, explosive sounds caused by air movement would ring out in the martial arts room.

Foundation Establishment, Pillar-like Stance, Dragon Hidden in Rock Ravines, Stone Millstone, Stone Giving Birth to All Things, Rock Settling the Universe... these were fist technique moves Li Yuan had practiced thousands of times.

Executing them again today, he had a completely different feeling.

"Swish~" Li Yuan's heart was incredibly calm.

As he practiced the fist technique, he quietly felt the blood flowing in his body like bubbling water, felt the powerful beating of his heart, and felt the layered transmission of muscle strength and the connection of tendons, bones, and membranes.

Numerous forces gathered at the spinal dragon... Li Yuan's powerful spiritual sense could deeply feel all of this.

Every bit of his body's strength was under his control.

As long as his mind stirred, he could perfectly mobilize his body's strength without wasting a single bit.

Everything inside his body was under his 'perception,' as if a pair of eyes had grown inside him.

"Is this what the teacher called internal vision?" Li Yuan marveled to himself. "It is also the Grandmaster Realm pursued by countless martial artists in ancient traditional martial arts."

The era is different.

In ancient times, there were no cultivation methods, no various auxiliary training instruments, and even less such magical things as virtual networks; it was very difficult for martial artists to reach the Grandmaster Realm.

This was already the end of ancient martial arts.

But in today's High Martial Era, the Grandmaster Realm? Although it is still considered a milestone in martial arts realms.

But among countless martial artists, this realm is not a secret at all.

"In the past."

"Relying on my powerful spiritual sense, I could also vaguely feel the subtle parts of my body's tendons, bones, and muscles."

Li Yuan felt carefully, consolidating and familiarizing himself. "However, it was not as clear as it is now."

"Internal vision allows me to control every bit of my body's strength and clearly perceive the state of every corner of my body."

"Then, the efficiency of my subsequent practice of the basic cultivation method will also be higher," Li Yuan thought, feeling quite joyful.

Why does the martial arts cultivation of the entire human civilization attach such importance to martial arts skills?

Because it is indeed important.

This is the foundation.

For example, among the three requirements to become a second-rank Source Martial Artist, one is that martial arts skills must reach the fourth-stage level.

【Your fist technique realm has improved from Fourth Stage 0% to Fourth Stage 1%】

【Your fist technique realm has improved from Fourth Stage 1% to Fourth Stage 2%】

Prompts flashed across the Divine Palace panel.

For more than two hours, Li Yuan practiced the fist technique repeatedly, occasionally standing in a stance to rest in between.

He had raised his fist technique realm to Fourth Stage 5% in one go before it stagnated.

"Force is perfect."

"Control is subtle," Li Yuan revealed a smile. "I just broke through; by consolidating the fist technique realm slightly, I can improve by a large margin."

"Further on, it will be increasingly difficult."

Li Yuan was not in a hurry to practice spear technique; the premise of the integration of body, mind, and weapon is the integration of body and mind.

As long as the fist technique realm is high enough, the movement technique will naturally cross into the fourth stage, and the spear technique will also break through with just a little practice.

Like many martial arts Grandmasters, they haven't practiced weapons much in their lives, but any weapon in their hands will have the effect of turning decay into magic.

Why?

Because their body and mind integration has reached an extremely high level, which is Fourth Stage perfection.

Then, with any weapon in hand, after getting slightly familiar with it, they can quickly erupt with a fourth-stage skill level.

……

Li Yuan didn't know that when he surged into the Blue Star Youth List, global top 1000.

The Star Combat Network system had automatically sent the relevant files to the Xia Nation Martial Arts Hall, Star Martial Hall, and Starfire Martial Hall.

The top 1000 are actually all receiving key attention, especially those like Li Yuan who have made such huge progress.

……

Eleven in the morning, Star Martial Hall, Guanshan Branch Hall.

"Boom~"

"Lu Huai! You are simply a bastard!!" Song Yi, dressed quite beautifully, angrily smashed the teacup in her hand onto the ground, tea and cup fragments splattering.

In her mind, the scene of just being called over by Lu Huai remained.

The other party had handed over the file regarding Li Yuan.

Then, he said lightly, "Hall Master Song, regarding Li Yuan's early signing, I personally feel you were a bit inconsiderate. If there is accountability from above in the future, you must be mentally prepared."

It seemed like no scolding.

But these words were already a serious accusation of her "dereliction of duty."

"Isn't it just global top 1000? What's so great about it?" Song Yi gritted her teeth. "It's not like his spear technique broke through to the fourth stage, is it worth such a big fuss? And specifically calling me over?"

But in reality.

Song Yi already felt some regret in her heart.

Although she couldn't see every specific battle scene of Li Yuan, the file passed to the Martial Hall had already detailed Li Yuan's recent battle record and win rate.

Gold rank 88% win rate!

A winning streak of over fifty matches.

How exaggerated? It was enough to prove that Li Yuan's martial arts skills had reached Third Stage perfection, only a line away from crossing into the fourth-stage realm.

If it were just a seventeen-year-old with Third Stage skill perfection, it wouldn't be too exaggerated.

The key is, a year ago, Li Yuan was only at the Silver rank, Second Stage skill on the Star Combat Network.

This speed of progress was too scary.

For so many years, Song Yi hadn't seen such a powerful martial arts genius in the Guanshan District.

"Humph."

"Third Stage perfection? How many martial artists are trapped at this step? It's not certain he can break through before eighteen," Song Yi thought to herself. "Besides, so what if he breaks through? Without awakening martial arts spirituality, who knows how many years it will take to become a Source Martial Artist."

She was angry because she felt she had lost face.

And because of this, she was angry at Li Yuan.

However, Song Yi didn't think about harming Li Yuan. Although there is competition between different Martial Halls, overall, cooperation outweighs competition, and they all have the same goal—to fight for human civilization.

……

Starfire Martial Hall, Guanshan Branch Hall.

Twelfth floor.

"Li Yuan, Blue Star Youth List, global top 1000?" Hall Master Wan, wearing a Tang suit, looked at the file in his hand, feeling slightly surprised. "So fast?"

After thinking for a while.

Wan Qinghe communicated with Xu Bo, asking in detail about Li Yuan's various training situations.

He also called Instructor Xing over to ask about Li Yuan's recent situation in the Martial Hall.

After doing everything.

"This Li Yuan is truly an unpolished gem." Wan Qinghe looked at the summarized data in his hand, feeling surprised in his heart. "With so few resources, his physical fitness is actually improving so fast?"

"Could it be that he is actually that kind of peerless genius with top-tier physical talent, just lacking a suitable high-stage cultivation method?" Wan Qinghe had a guess in his heart.

But he didn't dare to be sure.

After thinking for a while.

Wan Qinghe opened his smart ring and selected a key person from his contact list.

He dialed.

Beep—beep—connected.

Hum~ A light screen projection formed, appearing as a burly man holding a battle blade, his momentum astonishing.

"Junior Brother Wan, what's the matter, calling me so urgently?" the burly man asked with a laugh.

"Ninth Senior Brother."

"Kunlun Martial Arts University, isn't it about to conduct a special training invitation inspection in Jiangbei Province?" Hall Master Wan said quite respectfully. "I want to recommend someone to you first."
