Li Yuan had the rare pleasure of taking a flying machine to Fengjing, the capital of Longxi Province, with Gu Qianghan, and enjoyed a day of relaxation.
"Need to heed Uncle's advice,"
"Having toiled for three months, taking a day off occasionally isn't a bad thing." Li Yuan thought to himself, "Training too requires moderation."
On October 2nd, Li Yuan returned early to Kunlun Martial University.
Inside the villa, the underground Martial Arts Room.
"Stellar Illumination."
Li Yuan was immersed in practicing his Spear Technique, engaging in fierce combat with a Level 21 combat coach before him.
Mainly, it was Li Yuan attacking and the coach defending.
Dawn Piercing Clouds, Galaxy Waterfall, Meteor Fall... The moves of the Stellar Spear Technique had been practiced millions of times and were etched into Li Yuan's bones. Now, they were constantly being executed.
"Clang! Clang!" The combat coach, armed with dual shields, was deflecting Li Yuan's every move like lightning.
His skill level hadn't caught up with Li Yuan.
But with his superior physical quality, he could easily block Li Yuan's attacks.
"Twelve Continuous Strikes." Li Yuan fully erupted, his blood and Qi boiling as though on fire.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The spear light flowed grandly, each thrust surpassing the last, casting blurred shadows.
If he were to face the "Level 14.1 chieftain of the Rock Desert Tribe" now, he would be killed by Li Yuan in an instant.
In the blink of an eye.
The Twelve Continuous Strikes reached their limit and Li Yuan's spirit and power peaked.
In that moment, he became extremely excited.
"Kill!" With his final thrust, Li Yuan felt an unparalleled thrill, without the slightest pause, manipulating his long spear to send out a sky full of spear shadows.
Each thrust seemed real.
Each thrust also seemed illusory.
Instantly, there were definitely more than forty spear shadows, causing the combat coach, a Prime Warrior, to see a blur before his eyes.
Stellar Spear Technique's fifth move—Vast Sky Battle!
"[Your Spear Technique Realm has increased from Fourth Level 73% to Fourth Level 78%]"
"[Your Fist Technique Realm has increased from Fourth Level 75% to Fourth Level 79%]" Two Divine Palace alerts flashed by.
After two months of arduous training, Li Yuan had finally managed to execute the entire fifth move of the Stellar Spear Technique today!
The sole authentic and terrifying spear shadow cut through the vast sky, like lightning piercing the shields, striking directly at the combat coach's chest.
An appalling impact force of tens of thousands of kilograms erupted, causing the combat coach to retreat unconsciously, only then dissipating the force.
Both sides stopped instinctively.
Coach Peng sincerely exclaimed, "Li Yuan, this thrust of yours is much stronger than before, I couldn't even stop it."
"Peng Bro, you're joking," Li Yuan replied with a smile, "That's because you haven't fully unleashed your strength and speed. Otherwise, no matter how fast my spear is, could it really exceed yours?"
A Level 21 Prime Warrior can unleash Fist Strength of over 120,000 kilograms.
With Origin Power in play, their bodies are harder than steel.
A First Rank Martial Artist and a Second Rank Prime Warrior are simply not comparable.
"Physical quality doesn't count for much; it will inevitably improve. Skill is fundamental," Coach Peng sighed, "Li Yuan, your Spear Technique must be nearing the Subtlety of the soul."
Li Yuan smiled slightly, glancing over his Divine Palace panel.
[Life Level: 13.8 (First Rank)]
Fist Strength: 7329 kilograms
Speed: 40.9 meters per second
Spiritual Power: 22.9 level
Spiritual Awakening Level: 25% (Current limit 25%, physical quality not strong enough to withstand Spiritual Guidance)
Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fourth Level 78%), Movement Technique (Fourth Level 69%), Fist Technique (Fourth Level 79%)
[Note: When Spiritual Awakening Level reaches 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, 125%, Spiritual Guidance will be obtained step by step.]
"With all five moves of the Stellar Spear Technique comprehended, continuous practice will gradually get me to Fourth Level 90%," Li Yuan realized.
Though his Spear Technique seemed merely at Fourth Level 78%, Li Yuan knew he was getting closer to reaching the Subtlety of the soul.
"Physical Quality at 13.8, in at most half a month, I should reach Level 14," Li Yuan anticipated with excitement.
... At ten o'clock at night, Li Yuan had already sent the combat coach away and was still practicing in the Martial Arts Room.
Li Yuan's intelligent bracelet vibrated, he looked down.
"Eh? A school notification?" Li Yuan extended his hand to click on it, a light screen emerged showing the specific content of the notification.
"The Inter-Scholastic Rookie Fight (Virtual Combat), invitation notice." Li Yuan murmured to himself, "Me, to be selected as 'seed player' of Kunlun Martial University?"
"Directly entering the second round?"
