"This expanse of starry sky is also named the 'Seven Star Sea'," the general knowledge teacher explained.
Li Yuan, An Nong, Gu Qianghan, and the others were not listening very attentively.
Because these were all common knowledge.
They were mostly covered in the middle school textbooks.
"In 1420, the Star Bridge collapsed, evolving into the Six Grand Star Realms, also the original Six Grand Star Realms," the teacher continued, "But through the Star Realm, we can still reach Feixing."
"Since then, the Cosmic Origin Power appeared, and the life on the Seven Great Planets generally became far stronger... Now the dawn of the Martial Path is just beginning."
"But it wasn't until 1609 that our human civilization gave birth to the first Prime Warrior," the teacher said, "From that time on, we were sure that Origin Power, aside from existing in the Heavenly Materials and Treasures, was also present in the cosmic starry sky and earth."
"From then on, the Martial Path rose, and human civilization truly began Life Evolution."
"By 1724, human civilization had produced the first Flying Heaven Warrior..."
"In 1746, the first Star Realm emerged over Tianhai Star, and a multitude of Star Realm Creatures poured out, causing over thirty million deaths. It took the combined effort of many planets to finally suppress the Star Realm entrance completely."
"That was when the nightmare began."
"Then came the second, the third Star Realm... At that time, only the First Level Star Realm, Second Level Star Realm appeared; there were no Flying Heaven Level Star Realm creatures yet."
"In the year 1766 of the Seven Stars, the first Third Level Star Realm appeared on Feixing," the teacher's voice grew heavy as the corresponding information also appeared on the classroom's holographic screen.
"Fire Demon, the first Flying Heaven Level Alien Race creature to appear, ravaged tens of thousands of kilometers, slaughtering over eight million humans, before it was finally killed through the joint efforts of several Flying Heaven Warriors."
"Then the second head, the third... a decade-long Star Realm war, nearly causing Feixing to fall, with more than six billion humans dead!" The teacher's voice revealed a hint of sorrow.
Even though it had been hundreds of years.
Even though this great catastrophe occurred in the distant Feixing, Blue Star had not suffered such a heavy blow.
But for Li Yuan, An Nong, and the others, it was still heart-shakingly impactful.
Over six billion humans dead? Nearly the entire human population on Feixing was almost wiped out.
How many humans are there on Blue Star today? Just over a hundred billion.
"Until the year 1782."
"Our human civilization gave birth to the first great existence to surpass the Flying Heaven Level, 'Lant'," the teacher's voice suddenly rose with excitement, "officially launching the great counteroffensive."
The teacher recounted many secrets, which were not mentioned in middle school textbooks.
Li Yuan, An Nong, and the others couldn't help but perk up their ears to listen attentively.
"The ten-year war, under Lant's leadership, essentially quelled the turmoil."
"Thus ended the First Star Realm War."
"In 1820," the teacher kept on with the narration, ""after a long four hundred years of the Martial Path's dark age, human civilization's first universal High Rank Cultivation Technique 'Nanming Wanshui Sutra' was finally born."
"Our human civilization's warriors began to emerge like bamboo shoots after a rainstorm."
Li Yuan was moved inwardly.
A part of Martial Path history, half of human civilization's history.
History moving forward.
Li Yuan was quite familiar with it, more and more High Rank Cultivation Techniques were born, and the whole of human civilization became increasingly prosperous.
In 1920, the Second 'Star Realm War' broke out on Feixing, with Alien Race creatures that surpassed the Flying Heaven Level appearing.
Dongfang Ji of Blue Star emerged dramatically, with absolute dominance and martial power, sweeping away all before him.
No one knows how many Flying Heaven Level, and beyond Flying Heaven Level Star Realm Creatures fell at his hands.
He also officially surpassed Lant, becoming the recognized number one powerhouse of human civilization.
Dongfang Ji established the Starfire Martial Hall and turned the nominally existent Seven Star Alliance into a reality, truly towering above the nations of the Seven Great Planets, and also promoted a decade-long 'Seven Star Alliance Progress Movement'."
In the year 1954 of the Seven Stars, the Martial Arts college entrance exam was officially rolled out, infiltrating all countries.
For nearly a century, the entire human civilization entered a high-speed development phase, nuclear weapons and various types of technological weapons emerged... Under the unified coordination of the Alliance, no more overly severe chaos broke out again.
In 1962, Starfire University, Starry Sky University, Black Stone University, all simultaneously established branches on the Seven Great Planets.
They universally recruited and trained top-tier talents.
In 2009, virtual networks came into being, sweeping across the entire human civilization, elevating the speed at which human civilization discovered Martial Arts prodigies by a significant level once again.
While Li Yuan was recalling and contemplating.
"Today's class ends here, you're dismissed," the teacher said in a low voice.
Inside the Heilong Building's practical Martial Arts Room.
"Clang! Clang!" Li Yuan was engaged in an intensely fierce battle with his teacher Jiang Lun.
"You clearly have the Fourth Level Intermediate Rank Spear Technique, why don't you display it?"
"Are you not a prodigy? Calling yourself a prodigy with such trash skills?"
"Are you angry? Upset? Then hit me if you can!" Jiang Lun berated Li Yuan, his shouts echoing through the classroom.
He lacked the gentleness and elegance from the first time they met.
"Mind, in harmony with every part of your body, feel every thread of force in the long spear."
"Remember, every thread!"
"I scold you, and your mind falters? Poor mentality, you need more training!"
"I tell you to kneel, you kneel; I tell you to lie down, you lie down! Why? Because your Spear Technique isn't strong enough."
"Because you are weak."
"Weakness is the original sin. When you fight with Star Realm Creatures, there's no such thing as prodigies, only strength and weakness, and a dead prodigy is just a pile of flesh eaten up!"
"Get practicing," Jiang Lun was like a tyrant, mercilessly tormenting Li Yuan.
But Li Yuan had to admit that he made the quickest progress when engaging in practical training with his adversary.
His inner self too was enduring the storms over and over again.
"Spirit, from the inside out."
"First sense your whole body."
"What is Unity of Heaven and Man? Heaven refers to nature, Man to oneself," Li Yang was giving Li Yuan a private lesson, "When your skill reaches Subtlety, perfectly controlling every strand of your own strength."
