Chapter 1390: Spear Intent Formed! Ye Li

Yue Ying stood midair beneath the clouds, a gentle breeze stirring her silver hair.

Her gray pupils contracted sharply as she stared in disbelief at the tall, pine-like figure on Island F-001.

"How could it be so fast..."

Yue Ying's slender fingers clenched unconsciously, "Only a month has passed—he not only broke through to the Star Rank, but also attained Spear Intent?"

She had thought mastering T4-level combat technique would narrow the gap between herself and Xu Jingming.

Yet unexpectedly, he had just widened that gap between them drastically!

"This guy, how is he so monstrous?"

"No good—I must train harder! I need to master the Life Principle as soon as possible!"

Yue Ying bit her silver teeth lightly, then turned and transformed into a emerald streak of light, descending toward her own island.

Meanwhile, Xu Jingming was immersed in the profound realization of his newly formed Spear Intent.

He stood on the island's open-air training ground, gripping the Black Gold Thunder Prison Spear, thrusting, sweeping...

The spear seemed alive in his hands, each strike subtly aligning with some cosmic truth.

The path traced by the spear tip appeared to sketch law patterns in empty space, faintly resonating with the surrounding heavenly energy.

"This is Spear Intent..."

Xu Jingming's eyes flickered with Lei Guang, and understanding slowly dawned within him.

Previously, when wielding spear techniques, he had to consciously control every ounce of force and every angle.

Now, these skills had become instinctive, even allowing him to draw upon deeper cosmic law forces through Spear Intent.

"Boom—"

A horizontal sweep emptied the air within a hundred-meter radius, creating a vacuum zone.

Dark golden spear radiance spread like a crescent moon, silently slicing a distant artificial mountain into two halves.

He had not used the Annihilation Doushen Shenlei.

This power arose naturally from the spear's resonance with cosmic law!

If combined with the Annihilation Doushen Shenlei, the power would be even more terrifying!

"If I had possessed this spear technique at the Starlight Peak..."

"Without using any law, merely relying on my physical body, I might have been able to fight a Star Rank."

Xu Jingming assessed this silently.

This was not arrogance.

Weapon intent is a major watershed on a warrior's path, signifying a new height of understanding the weapon's essence.

A Starlight Peak cultivator who has attained Spear Intent can indeed defeat an ordinary Star Rank by crossing ranks.

For him now, it grants an extremely significant combat boost.

"Then again, I did spend six million Source Points on it."

"If the power weren't strong, it'd be a waste."

Xu Jingming resumed swinging the spear.

He hadn't felt his spear technique improve in a long time.

Now that he wielded it again, he quickly sank into the flow.

Hum—

Space rippled like water, and a tall, slender black silhouette appeared out of thin air at the training ground's edge.

It was Ye Li.

Her slender form, bathed in sunlight, carved an astonishingly captivating curve.

Her black combat suit hugged her graceful waist, the full curves of her chest rising and falling gently with each breath.

With the formidable spiritual power of an Immortal Peak deity,

the moment she appeared, she immediately noticed the commotion at the center of the training ground and sensed Xu Jingming's aura.

First, his rank: Star Rank One.

Most Starlight Rank geniuses participating in the Cosmic Talent War suppressed their levels.

Many broke through to Star Rank immediately after the Talent War ended.

She wasn't overly surprised by Xu Jingming's breakthrough.

But when she noticed the spear he was wielding—

her cold, clear eyes revealed a rare flicker of shock.

Is that... Spear Intent?

Did I see that right?

"Senior Sister Ye Li, you're here?"

Xu Jingming sensed the disturbance and immediately sheathed his spear and bowed.

"Spear Intent? You've already attained Spear Intent?"

Ye Li's crimson lips parted, her voice laced with disbelief.

"Yes, just now attained it," Xu Jingming did not hide it.

"So it's true..."

A dazed expression flickered across Ye Li's coldly beautiful face.

It was no wonder this Immortal Peak deity reacted so strongly.

Xu Jingming's progress was simply too fast!

A month ago, Xu Jingming didn't even know what Spear Intent was.

A month later, he had already succeeded in performing it!

You should know that back then, she spent a full hundred years just to comprehend sword intent!

During that hundred years, she set aside her cultivation of elemental energy and comprehension of laws, focusing wholeheartedly on honing her swordsmanship before finally succeeding.

Yet Xu Jingming's comprehension appeared far too effortless.

"I really have to thank you, Senior Sister, for lending me the points to buy the spear intent manual.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have grasped spear intent so quickly."

Xu Jingming said with a smile as he stored his long spear into his spatial ring.

Hearing Xu Jingming's reply, Ye Li took a deep breath.

After calming her emotions slightly, she shook her head and said:

"Can one really grasp spear intent from just a few manuals?

If it were that simple, the Star Dome Academy wouldn't have so many peak Star-rank warriors stuck at the threshold of weapon intent."

After a brief pause, she added, "Regardless, congratulations.

Being able to master spear intent at the first Star-rank stage means that even among the most outstanding warrior students in our Star Dome Academy, you can be counted among the very top.

Come, let's continue with the explanation of the 'Source Core Secret Codex,' and afterward I'll guide you on your future cultivation path."

"Understood." Xu Jingming nodded quickly.

For the entire next day, Ye Li gave a detailed analysis of the key points of the first layer of the 'Source Core Secret Codex.'

Her explanation was clear and accessible, transforming the obscure and difficult theories of the universe's origin into easy-to-understand vivid analogies.

This made Xu Jingming secretly marvel in admiration.

As expected of an Eternal Peak divine being, her understanding of the manual far surpassed his own.

While Xu Jingming was secretly delighted, Ye Li's beautiful willow-leaf brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

'Strange......'

She muttered to herself.

Compared to a month ago, Xu Jingming's understanding of the 'Source Core Secret Codex' had indeed improved.

But this improvement could only be considered at the level of an ordinary genius, completely disproportionate to his terrifying talent in spear techniques.

'Could he be naturally suited for the warrior path?'

Ye Li speculated inwardly, 'His comprehension of weapon intent is astonishingly fast, but his understanding of the 'Source Core Secret Codex,' which involves the mysteries of the universe's operation, is relatively ordinary?'

This discovery made her feel somewhat troubled.

If he were an ordinary warrior, it wouldn't matter, but unfortunately Xu Jingming is a disciple of Sovereign Shuangmian.

And what the teacher values most is precisely a disciple's ability to comprehend the origin of the universe.

Otherwise, the 'Source Core Secret Codex' wouldn't have been set as the assessment criterion.

'Well, let's take it one step at a time.

If Xu Jingming truly cannot comprehend the 'Source Core Secret Codex' within 500 years,

I'll let the teacher keep him as a registered disciple and let him cultivate under me......'

Ye Li thought silently to herself.

Regarding this junior brother who displayed extraordinary talent in the path of weapons, she truly didn't want to let him drift off to study under another sovereign.

Especially being taken in by that Sovereign of Time was something she didn't want to see.
