High-Level Martial Era
Chapter 282: Chapter 215: Awakening! The Second Star Meridian

After practicing the Visualization Method for two hours as was his habit, Li Yuan continued to cultivate "All Heavens' Stars".

By the time all this ended, it had already reached deep into the night.

He opened his eyes.

Li Yuan only felt his mind clear and refreshed, and all the previous fatigue had dissipated, his body brimming with seemingly endless strength.

"It's four in the morning again?" Li Yuan glanced at his smart ring watch without thinking.

Four in the morning was the time when Li Yuan finished his daily routine practices.

In the ten days since he had returned to school, Experience new tales on M V L

Apart from attending general knowledge classes, Li Yuan had almost entirely devoted his time to cultivation.

Practicing his Spear Technique, combat training, cultivating the Visualization Method and "All Heavens' Stars", etc.

Outsiders could only see Li Yuan breaking through and surpassing limits repeatedly.

But they could scarcely see the effort he put in behind the scenes.

Indeed, a key reason for Li Yuan's rapid growth was the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, but if he hadn't been so insanely diligent ... the Mind Spirit Divine Palace might have done more harm than good, as it was a double-edged sword.

"Hmm."

"In just these few hours, quite a number of people have sent me messages," Li Yuan saw on his smart ring watch, having received well over two hundred messages.

Most were from various classmates and friends.

Like Shi Xiao and others, as well as people such as Tian Dazhuang, Dantai Feng, etc.

And also many messages of congratulations from high school classmates like Wu Dongdong, Lin Lanyue, Li Tianyou, and others.

"Hmm, Lanyue?" Li Yuan's expression became slightly somber as he read the message from Lin Lanyue, "Is she about to head to the Star Realm?"

The Star Realm was not so easy to traverse, and it seemed she was headed for the Second Level Star Realm.

Without rushing to reply to Lin Lanyue, Li Yuan continued to quickly browse through the messages.

Suddenly, Li Yuan paused.

Because among these congratulatory messages, he unexpectedly found ones from Zhou Qi, Yan Zhou, Liu Jing, Fang Longhu, Wan Qinghe, and many others.

"Something's not right."

"Other people congratulating me is one thing," Li Yuan privately pondered, "but Senior Liu is stationed at the Mingxu Star Realm base, and then there's Zhou Qi and Yan Zhou, they attend Cultural University... how did they get the news so quickly? And from the tone of their messages... it seems as though they've already decided that I'll become a Flying Heaven Warrior in the future?"

Only four hours had passed since the end of the melee competition.

Suddenly, a possibility flashed through Li Yuan's mind.

"Open the projection."

Having a vague realization of something, Li Yuan directly commanded, "Xiao Yu, immediately conduct a full net intelligent search for 'Global Martial Arts Competition virtual match Li Yuan', searching for official news."

"Yes, Master," the assistant AI promptly responded.

With a hum, a huge screen projection condensed, and the assistant AI swiftly searched, arranging the results in order according to Li Yuan's previous search habits.

Top of the list was a short video titled—"Blue Star's peerless genius 'Li Yuan', the future surpassing Flying Heaven existence."

Video producer: Starfire Martial Hall.

"What?" Li Yuan's expression shifted slightly.

What was this video? Li Yuan immediately clicked to watch it.

... "He was born into an ordinary family in Jiangbei Province, and his adolescence was quite challenging."

"His elder accomplished great contributions to the nation, receiving the Silver Quality Medal."

"He, even more so, was a peerless genius selected by Starfire Martial Hall!"

"Since junior high, he has been continually making progress in Martial Path. In his first year of high school, he quickly rose to be among the top ten in grade for martial arts skills, became number one in his second year, ranked first in the province in the college entrance examination on raw scores, and acquired the title of 'Youth Hero'", a voice-over narrated.

The video displayed various snippets of Li Yuan's junior and senior high school cultivation, his honors... many details were blurred out, and the people featured were ambiguous.

"Now, just half a year into university, he has already made significant contributions, becoming a recipient of the Metal Quality Medal."

"In the Global University Martial Arts Competition, teeming with geniuses, he revealed his peerless edge! Sweeping through many strong opponents! Advancing to the finals!" the narration grew more spirited.

The scene switched to show clips of Li Yuan defeating numerous competitors, overpowering martial arts geniuses like Han Haochang and Hoffman... domineering! Assertive!

"He is our Blue Star's contemporary peerless genius 'Li Yuan', his future knows no bounds, and we hope that he lives up to expectations... to soon become a Flying Heaven Warrior, nay, a surpassing Flying Heaven Warrior, becoming another towering pillar of our human civilization..." The video finally ended.

Li Yuan was stupefied for a long while, almost embarrassed out of his skin, his face uncontrollably turning red.

It was simply too exaggerated.

Who would flatter in such a way? Peerless genius?

"View count... damn, 110 million?" Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, almost unable to believe his own eyes.

This short promotional video went online at one in the morning, and it had only been online for three hours.

Could the view count surpass a hundred million so quickly?

Wasn't this exaggeration a bit much?

Li Yuan now understood why he had received so many messages, it was because of this short video? And he could foresee that by tomorrow or the day after, the number of people messaging him would likely be even greater.

"Strange."

"Why would the official Starfire Martial Hall produce such a video?" Wondering this, Li Yuan immediately began to look into it.

He soon discovered.

Besides his, there was a short video about Dantai Feng as well... no others, like Harmon, Yin Man, Nevsky, and other similarly dazzling geniuses, had no propaganda videos.

Only he and Dantai Feng had them.

"Logically, even if they made such a promotional video..." Li Yuan frowned, "it shouldn't spread and ferment this quickly."

The Global University Martial Arts Competition indeed had some clout, but since it was a completely closed event, it wouldn't normally be deliberately publicized. Hence, its notoriety among the general public wasn't very high... most people only knew that such a competition existed.

"Very strange," Li Yuan murmured to himself.

He faintly sensed the scent of conspiracy, as if there was an invisible hand pushing him and Dantai Feng from behind the scenes to the forefront.

"Forget it."

"I can't change it, so I can only accept it." Li Yuan shook his head, not wanting to think any further, then chuckled suddenly, "But Dantai Feng, seeing the video's view count... will probably jump with joy."

The two had fundamentally different personalities.

Li Yuan didn't mind showing his glory in public, while Dantai Feng sought to do so.

"I believe the senior executives of Starfire Martial Hall have deep intentions for doing this," Li Yuan muttered to himself.

Too late to inquire further and not wanting to think too much about it, he decided to ask during the day instead.

After quickly browsing through all the messages, Li Yuan continued to cultivate his Spear Technique.

He executed the move "Stellar Illumination" again and again.

In the underground martial arts room, it was unusually quiet.

The only sound was Li Yuan's long spear swinging continuously, the terrifying spear light evolving as if it became material. But what was strange was that this terrifying display of spear technique erupted without the slightest sound.

"Merge with heaven and earth."

"My spear merges with heaven and earth," Li Yuan practiced over and over, the simplest moves containing the strongest power.

His skill in spear technique had just reached the fifth stage Intermediate rank, exactly when his comprehension of heaven and earth had reached a new realm.

After a long practice session.

"Something's not right! No." Li Yuan felt some discontent in his heart, feeling that the underground martial arts room was too confining.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan moved swiftly, soon arriving in the villa's garden outside.

It was past four in the morning, the sky full of stars, but very cold, with the north wind howling, altogether extremely quiet.

A bright moon hung in the sky.

"Cool, the chilly wind," Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile on his face: "This is exactly the sensation I'm seeking."

He continued to practice with his spear, following that most instinctive feeling he had during the fierce battle with Hoffman.

Unknowingly.

As Li Yuan's heart gradually quieted, his spear momentum became more and more powerful, and he seemed to merge into the world around him.

Divine union with heaven and earth!

The spear united with heaven and earth, using the spear as a guide, the body entering heaven and earth, Li Yuan was attempting to do so step by step following the guidance of "Meaning of the Stellar."

"Stellar, the essence lies in stability."

"The idea of the galaxy is also vast; if the spear shadows are like the galaxy, they will be unshakable within the vastness of the starry rivers, unaffected by any storm," Li Yuan was completely immersed.

Stellar Spear Technique, Meaning of the Stellar, named after the stars, the core of both is defense.

Practicing over and over again, the terrifying display of spear technique also caused the surrounding grass to be rapidly torn apart, but the sound it made was very low.

"[Your realm in spear technique has increased from 30% of the fifth stage to 31% of the fifth stage]," a prompt from the Divine Palace suddenly flashed by.

But Li Yuan seemed not to notice and continued to cultivate in quietude.

Only when the sky began to brighten, with a hint of dawn light faintly shining on the earth, did Li Yuan finally stop.

"Unexpectedly."

"Once I stepped into the intermediate rank of the fifth stage, a wealth of insights converged, and I thought I had deepened my understanding of the Meaning of the Stellar quite a bit, yet I only improved by 1%," Li Yuan said with a hint of a smile on his face: "Let it be, one should not be greedy, cultivation is inherently difficult after entering the intermediate rank of the fifth stage."

"As long as one continues to steadily progress, that's enough," Li Yuan thought to himself.

"Dawn is breaking."

"It's already past six, time to try the Life Star space, then breakfast," Li Yuan turned and walked towards the underground martial arts room.

...

"Life Star space."

"Awaken the Life Star." Li Yuan gently closed his eyes, his strong spiritual power quickly transported his consciousness into that peculiar space.

The entire space was much brighter than before, no longer purely dark.

Aside from the one Perfect Star Vein's 129,600 Life Stars shining brightly, creating a beautiful 'light line' in the dim space.

Looking further, within the endless dim Life Star space, there were faintly many twinkling stars, densely packed.

"Over this period of time, aside from the first star meridian, I have awakened more than thirteen thousand Life Stars," Li Yuan thought to himself: "It's just a pity, many Life Stars do not belong to a single Life Star Vein."

Life Star Veins, consisting of 12,960 to 129,600 Life Stars.

Only when 12,960 Life Stars belong to a single vein can they gather and form a new Life Star Vein.

"Branding!" Li Yuan's heart was tranquil, his mighty spiritual power spread out, sensing the vast and dark starry sky.

"Sense the natural order of heaven and earth from above."

"The human body is also a microcosm." Li Yuan felt that his technique, having reached the intermediate rank of the fifth stage, made his spiritual power's perception of the Life Star space clearer... The higher the technique and the stronger the spiritual power, the more it would help in branding Life Stars.

Hum~

Hum~ One by one, the Life Stars were locked by Li Yuan, and then gradually branded with his life's breath.

...

While Li Yuan continued to quietly cultivate in the martial arts room.

About 'a thousand meters' above his villa.

A flying saucer-shaped aircraft was silently hovering, making no sound.

In the cabin's Quiet Cultivation Room, a man in black was quietly cultivating, surrounded by faint blue light.

Countless blue lights swirled around him, making him seem like a Divine being.

Whoosh~ Numerous beams of light converged, forming a giant screen, which displayed a young man in a suit.

"Star Master, the task has been completed," the young man in a suit slightly bowed and said: "Now, over seventy percent of the Flying Heaven Warriors around the world have received the message about Li Yuan and Dantai Feng."

"Furthermore, under our covert guidance, the names Li Yuan and Dantai Feng have transcended national boundaries, and their short videos are wildly spreading," said the young man in a suit.

"Hmm."

"Is Star Lord Bai Shan ready?" the figure in black asked indifferently: "The plan is so meticulous, let there be no accidents."

"Star Lord Bai Shan has already arrived at Starfire University and is covertly observing," the young man in a suit replied earnestly.

"Good."

"Let's see if, under such ongoing stimulation, those Alien Races are willing to take such a big risk," said the figure in black casually.

With a wave of his hand, he shut off the screen.

...

Li Yuan, who had been quietly cultivating in the martial arts room, was awakening more and more Life Stars.

The number of awakened Life Stars continued to rise.

Suddenly.

"Hum~" An invisible fluctuation burst forth from Li Yuan's body instantly, impacting in all directions.

This aura wasn't particularly strong, but it was highly condensed, causing the surrounding Origin Power to increase significantly.

"The second Star Meridian, by my own efforts, has finally begun to awaken," Li Yuan showed a smile.

His gaze swept over the Divine Palace panel.

"[You have awakened the second Star Meridian, your Star Meridian Level has improved from level 10 to level 11]"
