Chapter 151: Martial Arts Heaven
Chapter 151: Martial Arts Heaven
"The Star Marrow Crystal is indeed a good natural treasure, but logically, the effect shouldn't be so great."
Dean Hai was a little puzzled: "He didn't go from level 10 to level 11, but from level 14 to level 15."
"In terms of physical fitness alone, my punching power increased by more than 4000 kilograms in one month."
"Has he left school this month?" asked Dean Hai.
Many thoughts flashed through his mind.
"No, since the end of the Ten Schools Freshman Tournament, Li Yuan has been staying in school to practice." Li Yang said: "He has to go through actual combat training and take general education classes every day. This is all traceable."
Li Yang understood Dean Hai's doubts, because he suspected that Li Yuan had other adventures.
But in reality, no.
"In addition, I test his physical fitness every week." Li Yang added: "After using the Star Earth Marrow Crystal, the improvement has been significantly improved."
"The progress is very stable." Li Yang affirmed: "It's all recorded."
"Okay." Dean Hai finally let go of the last bit of doubt in his heart and smiled: "It seems that the treasure of Star Earth Marrow Crystal is indeed the right one for him."
"We also underestimated his speed of progress." Dean Hai said lightly.
"The dean is wise." Li Yang said with a smile, but he was muttering in his heart, us?
It's obviously you who underestimated it.
But Li Yang asked, "Dean, what about us now?"
"It's too dangerous to go to Mingxu Star Realm now." Dean Hai said softly: "Let's stick to the original plan, January."
"With nearly two months left, his strength should be able to improve further, and his ability to protect himself will be even stronger."
"Also, the school will be on holiday in December," Dean Hai asked.
"Yes." Li Yang nodded.
Ordinary universities have winter and summer vacations, but the vacation schedule at Budo University is completely different.
There will be a half-month holiday in late June and late December every year to allow students to return home, which is off-peak from the normal university semester.
"It's a good opportunity for him to go home and have a look before he goes out to explore the star world." Dean Hai said.
"Yes." Li Yang nodded, understanding what Dean Hai meant.
Traveling to the star realm is completely different from taking actual combat assessments.
Although actual combat assessments are dangerous, the mortality rate can be controlled at around 1% each time, or even lower, but the cumulative casualty rate is high.
Especially for geniuses like Li Yuan, the mortality rate is even lower.
The most important thing is to eliminate all "unexpected factors".
Traveling in the astral realm? Although the school will take some protective measures, no matter how much protection is taken, it is impossible to avoid unexpected situations, such as suddenly encountering a second-level alien or even a flying creature... This situation has not been unprecedented in history.
Letting Li Yuan go home first is, in a sense, also a kind of farewell.
Maybe he will die outside this time.
After all, Li Yuan is only 18 years old.
"There are two more things." Dean Hai said calmly: "First, let Li Yuan come to see me tomorrow."
"Second, inform the Spark Martial Hall that Li Yuan has reached level 15. Ask them to arrange for the Source Force Battle Suit to be delivered as soon as possible."
"Yes." Li Yang nodded.
……
That night.
Li Yuan, who was watching the news, received a message from Li Yang.
"Dean Hai wants to see me tomorrow. Maybe he can give me some advice on my cultivation and my adventures in the star realm?" Li Yuan looked at the message from Li Yang and thought to himself, "I don't even need to apply for it myself?"
According to the school rules of Kunlun Martial Arts University, before the senior year, no matter what level of physical fitness one has, one does not need to venture into the star realm.
But similarly, if one's physical fitness reaches level 15, one can enter the star realm upon personal application, regardless of whether one is a freshman, sophomore or junior.
Put down the smart ring watch.
"The Fish Spirit Tribe." Li Yuan continued to look at the 'Star Realm Channel' projected on the light screen.
"According to statistics, the star attack that Jiangcheng City encountered this time has caused at least 284 deaths..."
"Shizhou has been attacked by the Fish Spirit Realm in the past seven days, causing at least 800 deaths..."
"According to our reporter's visit, from now on, the Jiangbei Province military, the Spark Martial Palace, and the Starry Sky Martial Palace will conduct a joint operation and carry out a dragnet-style operation along the Xiang River..." The news on the projection continued.
They are all news about Jiangbei Province and the Yuling tribe.
Ever since his last phone call with Wan Qinghe, Li Yuan has been paying close attention to the news in Jiangbei Province, especially the news related to Jiangcheng City...Yesterday, the entire Jiangbei Province was once again hit by a large-scale attack.
It has only been basically cleared up today.
"So many casualties." Li Yuan frowned slightly: "Is the Yuling tribe so difficult to wipe out?"
The Yuling Star Realm is like a sore on the body of Jiangbei Province. It is not fatal, but it will occasionally become inflamed, causing panic and harm to the people of the entire Jiangbei Province.
"but."
"My uncle and aunt live in Xinghuo Nanhu Community, so the impact won't be that big." Li Yuan thought to himself.
……
The next day, August 11th.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Yuan followed Li Yang to President Hai's villa.
This is Li Yuan's first time here.
The previous few times I met with President Hai, we met in the Black Dragon Building.
However, as soon as he jumped off the aircraft, Li Yuan was stunned.
Because, on the green grass outside the villa, Dean Hai was wearing casual clothes and sunglasses, lying leisurely on a lounge chair, fishing.
The parasols are hoisted high.
On the side, several service personnel were waiting, and a variety of delicious foods were carefully prepared on the table.
In a word, exquisite!
Coupled with Dean Shanghai's already young and handsome appearance, he looks like a wealthy and extravagant young man.
"Dean, Li Yuan is here." Li Yang stepped forward and said.
"Ah."
"Li Yuan, Li Yang, please sit down." Dean Hai smiled faintly and pointed to the two stools next to him.
Li Yang and Li Yuan both sat down and looked at Dean Hai.
Dean Hai then put down the fishing rod.
"Li Yuan, do you like fishing?" Dean Hai asked with a smile.
"I've fished before." Li Yuan said honestly.
Except for learning a little from his uncle in June, Li Yuan had never learned how to fish in his life.
"Do you know what is the most important thing in fishing?" Dean Hai looked at Li Yuan with a smile.
Li Yuan pondered for a moment: "Patience?"
"No!"
"There must be fish in the pond." Dean Hai said with a smile, "If there are no fish, no matter how hard you try, it will be useless. For example, some fishing grounds may seem to have a lot of fish, but the owner deliberately deepens the center of the fishing ground and then puts heavy bait to attract fish... Then you will definitely not be able to catch anything by the water."
Li Yuan was speechless.
"How do you feel about the 'Concentration' that I asked you to practice last time?" Dean Hai changed the subject.
"I've been practicing, and I feel okay." Li Yuan said.
You can be vague on other issues, but when it comes to cultivation, it is in your personal interest and must be answered seriously.
"Hmm? It's a spiritual secret book that sharpens one's willpower, allowing warriors to better resist spiritual attacks." Dean Hai said, "The astral realm is full of dangers, and it's hard to predict the enemy's tactics. Spiritual attacks are very common."
"However, your mental strength is strong, so it really doesn't have much effect. But you should practice more when you have time. It will definitely have some effect."
"Yes." Li Yuan nodded.
"I heard from Dean Li that your marksmanship has reached the fourth level limit?" Dean Hai said.
"Almost." Li Yuan said with a smile.
In fact, judging from the Shrine panel, Li Yuan's spear and boxing skills have reached 99% of the fourth level.
The only thing is that his physical skills are a little slower, only 96% of the fourth stage, but it can be achieved within half a month at most.
"Once you reach the fourth level limit, your mind will be able to control all the subtle powers of your body. The next step will be the fifth level, the unity of man and nature." Dean Hai smiled.
Li Yuan's eyes lit up and he listened attentively.
He understood that Dean Hai had called him here today in order to teach him some skills.
“The term ‘unity of man and nature’, in ancient times, was the lifelong pursuit of many martial arts masters, just like the Taoist golden elixir and Buddhist relics… It sounds very mysterious, but the pursuit of its essence is nothing more than the word ‘nature’,” Dean Hai said with a smile.
Natural? Li Yuan thought.
"Human strength is limited. We draw the source of power into our bodies to temper our bodies and practice our skills, making our strength and speed stronger and stronger... but even if we are flying warriors, we can even surpass the flying level."
"The sprint speed can reach dozens of times the speed of sound or even faster."
"The flesh can enter space."
"One punch can shatter a mountain." Dean Hai sighed, "It sounds powerful, but compared with the vastness of nature, how can it compare?"
"Just our Seven Star Sea alone is hundreds of millions of kilometers away from the Flying Stars. If we don't use the Star Bridge or the Star Realm... it would be extremely difficult for us to communicate with each other."
"The universe is full of stars and the heavens are in motion. Although we may seem powerful as individuals, we are just a slightly stronger ant in this endless universe... The unity of man and nature requires us to use our weak 'spiritual mind' to perceive the countless mysteries of the universe and the stars."
“To grasp a little bit of the pattern.”
"Just like technology, weak life can control a variety of powerful weapons... The same is true for the evolution of our warriors' lives. We must strive to explore the mysteries of the laws of nature."
"Only by relying on the power of heaven and earth can we become stronger, both mentally and physically." Dean Hai said with a smile: "Otherwise, relying solely on cultivation methods, do you think that a flying warrior's body can become so strong in such a short period of time?"
Li Yuan seemed to be thinking about something.
"These are to help you build a concept in your mind." Dean Hai said with a smile: "If you want to make a breakthrough, the best way is to follow the original path."
"The original road?" Li Yuan wondered.
"The laws of nature are untraceable." Dean Hai said with a smile, "Do you think I'm too extravagant?"
"No, the dean has made great contributions to human civilization. This is nothing." Li Yuan shook his head.
"That's true." Dean Hai said with a smile, "Over the years, I have paid tens of billions in taxes alone. I didn't earn it by doing business or collecting rent within the civilization... but by fighting and fighting in the star realm."
"Awesome." Li Yuan said sincerely.
The tax paid was hundreds of billions, but how much did it actually collect? I dare not imagine.
Even though these treasures and wealth are under the name of President Hai, they are, in a sense, part of human civilization.
"I seem to be enjoying it."
"Well, I am indeed enjoying it." Dean Hai lay down leisurely and said with a smile: "But I am also practicing, refining my mind and understanding the law."
Li Yuan was confused, this state was too far away from him.
"When you truly enter the fifth stage, you will gradually understand what I mean." Dean Hai smiled and said, "Next."
"You can learn a third-level spearmanship secret book "The Meaning of the Stars" from the Martial Arts Knowledge Network."
"This secret manual is an extension of the Star Spear Technique. It will help you break through the fifth level of your skills."
