High Martial Arts Era

Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Level 9.6! Meteorite!

Wan Qinghe's worries were unknown to Li Yuan, who was still undergoing the 'source energy infusion.'

In Li Yuan's room at Jiangbei Martial University, his body was in a state of continuous transformation.

This state persisted.

Li Yuan's consciousness was initially semi-conscious, but eventually, he unknowingly fell asleep.

In the stillness of the night.

"Hmm?" Li Yuan, accustomed to starting his training at three o'clock, woke up suddenly as if by biological clock.

The next second, he was fully awake.

"Me?"

Li Yuan immediately noticed the changes in himself. His vision had improved, and it felt like his body was filled with tremendous strength.

"My body?"

Li Yuan scanned through the dozens of notifications on his spiritual palace panel, finally focusing on the data displayed.

___

Life Level: 9.6 (Not yet entered the stage)

Physical Fitness Index: 99 (A comprehensive measure of explosive power, endurance, speed, constitution, mental power, etc.)

Punching Force: 1180 kg

Speed: 21.1 m/s

Mental Power: 16.4

Spiritual Awakening Level: 12.8% (Current maximum 20%)

____

"This?" Li Yuan was both shocked and overjoyed.

His martial arts skills hadn't changed, but his physical fitness and mental power had significantly improved.

"In just five hours, my physical fitness improved by 0.7 levels? And my mental power by 1.3 levels?" Li Yuan held his breath in disbelief.

It was simply too astounding.

In the past three months, after continuously taking source energy pills, basic qi and blood potions, and training crazily, his physical fitness had increased by less than one level.

Moreover, the higher the level, the slower the improvement.

The transformation he experienced now was simply astonishing.

"Hmm?" Li Yuan also noticed that the 'can guide source energy into the body once' prompt on the spiritual palace panel had disappeared.

"Source energy infusion."

"It has such an effect? It caused significant changes in my physical fitness and mental power." Li Yuan recalled everything he experienced last night, still finding it unbelievable.

The spiritual palace was indeed miraculous.

Phew!

Li Yuan took a deep breath, feeling all his fatigue vanish, and his body brimming with energy.

He opened the door and walked out of the resting room.

Without turning on the lights.

The moonlight shining through the windows was enough for Li Yuan to see everything in the martial arts room.

Phew!

Boom! Li Yuan didn't take out his spear, as it would easily wake Gu Qianghan.

He only practiced his fist techniques. Each punch, each step, every move was powerful, causing the air to hum with the force.

Strong and vigorous! "Refreshing." Li Yuan felt the powerful energy coursing through his limbs and bones, his heart filled with excitement. "If I had this level of foundational strength during yesterday's field test, killing the Moon Demon Wolf King would have been much easier."

A physical fitness level of 9.6 was close to entering the stage.

...

After practicing several sets of fist techniques and venting his energy.

Li Yuan calmed down and returned to his room to think.

"Is this the benefit of reaching 10% spiritual awakening?" Li Yuan pondered.

"Source energy infusion is about drawing external source energy into the body to drive evolution?"

"Then, the increase in mental power must be due to the golden mist in the spiritual palace?" Li Yuan recalled his experiences in the spiritual world.

The dark space, the flickering stars, the ancient and indistinct sounds, the words and techniques etched into his heart...

Li Yuan realized.

The spiritual palace seemed even more mysterious than he initially thought.

"Source energy infusion drives evolution using source energy, likely without side effects," Li Yuan thought. "At least, I don't feel any adverse reactions now."

Li Yuan had heard of some forbidden drugs that could significantly enhance strength.

But those were at the cost of life potential.

"My mental power has increased so much."

"The staircase in the spiritual palace, let's try it again." Li Yuan closed his eyes and entered the spiritual palace with his consciousness.

Just three seconds later.

Li Yuan opened his eyes again, shocked: "The white jade staircase? It's gone?"

The white jade staircase that suddenly appeared in the spiritual palace a few hours ago.

Now, it had disappeared.

The spiritual palace had returned to normal.

"Could it be that the entrance to the second level only appears when I get the chance for source energy infusion?" Li Yuan speculated.

He looked at the spiritual palace panel again.

"Spiritual awakening level at 10% granted a source energy infusion opportunity. Will reaching 20% provide another chance?" Li Yuan wondered.

And he was somewhat expectant.

This time, his physical fitness increased by 0.7 levels. Next time? Would he directly enter the stage?

Reaching 25%? Spiritual guidance? Li Yuan felt it was still far off, as his current awakening limit was only 20%.

And he didn't know how to increase the limit yet.

But he knew how to raise his awakening level from 12.8% to 20%—by killing Astral Realm creatures.

"It seems."

"I need to find more field test opportunities like yesterday's." Li Yuan thought.

He was already very satisfied with his performance in yesterday's field test.

He had given it his all in the killing spree.

Not reaching 20% spiritual awakening level was within his expectations.

Time passed.

"First, the spiritual palace, I need to continue exploring and trying. This might be my biggest ace." Li Yuan's eyes shone with determination. "Second, my mental power has increased significantly, which suits my mental power talent. No problem."

"Third, my physical fitness surged overnight. If I don't cover it up, it will definitely attract attention."

"At least for the next few days, I should avoid physical assessments and try not to let anyone notice. Delay it until the April examination."

Exposing it during the April examination? Li Yuan wasn't worried at all.

"As long as they can't detect my spiritual palace, it'll be attributed to my exceptional talent." Li Yuan smiled calmly.

In this world, there were many special treasures and extraordinary geniuses... It's not uncommon for physical fitness to increase by one level in a month.

It's not like it increased by ten levels at once.

"In that case."

Li Yuan's lips curled into a smile. "There are still nearly three months until the college entrance examination."

"As long as source energy infusion has no side effects."

"I have a good chance of raising my physical fitness to level 10.0 before the exam." Li Yuan's eyes glowed. "Just like Wu Dongdong."

"With perfect scores in physical fitness and martial arts skills."

In Li Yuan's previous plan, his goal was to reach level 10.0 in physical fitness by September this year.

Now? At least three months ahead of schedule.

Martial arts training had a golden age, one being from 16 to 20 years old, and the other from 20 to 30 years old.

The older one gets, the more the body functions decline.

After figuring everything out.

"Three thirty? Three and a half hours until the seven o'clock gathering?" Li Yuan glanced at his smart wristband.

"The cooldown time on the Starry Sky Combat Network has ended. Let's see if I can reach 300 points in the Meteorite rank in one go."

Once he reached 300 points in the Meteorite rank.

Then, his contract with Starlight Martial Hall would upgrade from B-level to A-level.

Phew!

Li Yuan sat in the virtual network pod, connecting his consciousness.

He entered the Starry Sky Combat Network.

Personal space.

"Master, long time no see." The purple-clad girl's voice was gentle. "I've missed you."

"Shut up."

"Ranked match." Li Yuan directly clicked the screen. Just three seconds later.

Match found.

Li Yuan disappeared and entered the battle space.

...

Five minutes later.

In the battle space, the sixth opponent was turned to nothingness by Li Yuan's two spears.

"Congratulations... Points +4."

"Your rank points have reached 1000. Points cannot continue to increase..." The system voice rang. "Would you like to participate in the promotion match?"

"Participate," Li Yuan said loudly.

Buzz~

Li Yuan's figure disappeared from the platform, starting his sixth Meteorite promotion match.

...

The familiar ocean, the familiar island, the familiar silhouettes of the fish spirit warriors.

Li Yuan appeared, holding a long spear.

"Roar!"

"Roar!" The twelve fish spirit warriors glared at Li Yuan, filled with murderous intent.

"Seeing you guys feels so nostalgic." Li Yuan smiled slightly. "Unfortunately, it's the last time."

The fish spirit warriors were stunned. They couldn't understand Li Yuan's words.

But they could sense that Li Yuan was smiling.

Boom!

Li Yuan moved like the wind toward the group of fish spirits.

Boom!

Roar! Over a dozen fish spirits swung their blade-like arms furiously at Li Yuan.

"Good timing." Li Yuan grinned, his spear bursting with countless light shadows, tearing through the air, sweeping everything in its path.

First move of the Starry Spear Technique—Star Illumination.

Splat! Splat! Splat!

Where the spear reached, one fish spirit after another was pierced through the head, turning into nothingness.

A total of twelve strikes!

The battle ended.

After his spear and footwork breakthroughs and the field test, facing more than a dozen fish spirits, Li Yuan was extremely composed, without any burden in his heart.

Three seconds later.

"Congratulations, Defender Yuan, you have passed the promotion match. You have reached the Meteorite rank and are eligible for a reward of 500,000 Blue Star Coins," the system informed Li Yuan.

"Congratulations, Defender Yuan, you have entered the 'Blue Star Youth Genius List,' ranking 181st globally, 42nd in China, and 5th in Jiangbei Province. For detailed rankings, please check through the following..."

...

Swoosh! Li Yuan returned to his personal space.

"Congratulations, Master, for ranking on the Blue Star Youth Genius List." The purple-clad girl was excited. "There are fewer than two hundred people on the entire Blue Star list."

"What is the Blue Star Youth Genius List?" Li Yuan asked directly.

"Please see, Master."

Quickly, through Little Jade's explanation, Li Yuan understood that the rules of this list were the same as the 'Blue Star Youth List.'

The only difference was that to qualify for the list, one must reach the Meteorite rank.

"So, in Jiangbei Province, besides me, there are four others?" Li Yuan pondered.

Apart from Wu Dongdong, Wang Yu, and Tian Dazhuang, there was another?

But Li Yuan didn't care. There were countless geniuses in the world. The important thing was to focus on oneself and surpass oneself.

"Continue."

"Meteorite rank match." Li Yuan started his first Meteorite rank match. "Anyway, I'm at 0 points in Meteorite. Losing still leaves me at 0 points."

"I won't drop ranks."

"Why be afraid!"

...

Li Yuan didn't know that when his rank in the Starry Sky Combat Network broke into 'Meteorite.'

The relevant departments of the Jiangbei Martial Arts Bureau, Starlight Martial Hall 'Jiangbei Branch,' and Starry Sky Martial Hall 'Jiangbei Branch' received urgent notifications simultaneously.
