By the time he arrived, there were already six figures in the conference room, each with a distinct appearance, but all very young.
Almost instinctively, Li Yuan had already deployed Divine Palace Inquiry; the weakest was level 19.7, the strongest was 19.9.
However, there was no reminder of ‘Earning Spiritual Nature upon Killing’.
“Another one has arrived.”
“Who’s this? Seems to be Li Yuan from Blue Star, isn’t he just a freshman?”
“To be here, it means his Physical Quality has reached at least level 19, truly a freak.”
“No wonder my teacher said he’s the strongest prodigy to emerge in the Alliance in recent years.”
“I’ve heard he’s very powerful.” Seeing Li Yuan walking into the conference room, the other six had already looked over, with several of them showing curiosity in their eyes.
Clearly, most of the people present knew of Li Yuan.
These individuals were the top talents of their respective planets, but in terms of fame, they were far less known than Li Yuan.
“Li Yuan.” A blonde, blue-eyed woman stood up, walked over, and took the initiative to greet him.
“Alicia, I didn’t expect our first real-life meeting to be here,” Li Yuan said with a smile.
The two hadn’t interacted much in virtual combat, but they had sparred once.
And since they were both from Blue Star, subconsciously, they naturally felt closer to one another.
“Li Yuan, hello, I’ve heard my teacher mention you.” A towering young man over two meters tall approached. His eyes were bright as he stared at Li Yuan, “First in Blue Star’s virtual combat contest, the first freshman to win the championship.”

“Hello.” Li Yuan smiled as he looked at the other.
He had no idea who the other was.
“Li Yuan, his name is Si Feng, he’s from Feixing Starry Sky University.” Alicia introduced from the side.
Obviously, the six of them had just gotten to know one another.
“However, virtual combat is different from actual combat; your skill level may be very high,” Si Feng grinned at Li Yuan, “but the Myriad Life Extension Fruit will definitely be mine.”
“Oh? Is that so?” Li Yuan couldn’t help but laugh, “Then let’s try sparring in a while.”
“Good.” Si Feng smiled, “If you can defeat me, when we enter World within Worlds, I’ll listen to you.”
Li Yuan laughed; he found Si Feng’s straightforward personality quite appealing.
“Li Yuan, don’t mind Si Feng,” Alicia smiled from the side, “haven’t you noticed, it’s not just Si Feng, the way the others look at you is also different?”
Li Yuan nodded slightly; he had noticed the moment he walked through the door.
“Since you won the virtual combat championship, speaking of fame alone, it has spread across the Seven Great Planets, and many say you are the number one prodigy of the Alliance’s current era,” Alicia said with a smile, “There’s only one Myriad Life Extension Fruit, aside from me, everyone else probably wants to compete for it, naturally seeing you as their biggest competition.”
“Oh?” Li Yuan nodded slightly.
It sounded like he had become the Great Demon King?
… As time passed, Li Yuan interacted with the rest one by one.
They all got to know each other as well.
Beyond Alicia, among the other five, Si Feng, Xiong Ze, and Kross were all from Feixing.
Another woman named Bai Ya came from Tianhai Star.
And a quiet young man with red skin was from Heilong Star; his name was Bai Xing.
Just by the distribution of the planets they belonged to,
it was clear that Feixing was indeed the most powerful of the Seven Stars of the Seven Star Alliance, brimming with geniuses, far surpassing the other Six Great Planets.
Suddenly.
“Now that everyone’s here, there’s no need for me to go urging one by one.” A low voice came from the doorway, as if there was an invisible magic power that tightened everyone’s heart, followed by a red-clothed young man with short hair who walked into the conference room, appearing to be around thirty years old.
He immediately caught the attention of Li Yuan and the others.
“[Target organism, life level 29.9]” Li Yuan thought to himself.
Li Yuan immediately understood.
He was a Prime Warrior.
It wasn’t just Li Yuan, Alicia, Si Feng, and everyone with Fifth Stage Skill also sensed the fearsomeness of the red-clothed youth, who appeared unshakeable in their perception.
“My name is Wu Manong, you can call me by my name,” the red-clothed youth scanned over the seven of them.
“Wu Manong?”
“Is it him?” Among the seven, talents from Feixing like Si Feng showed a hint of shock on their faces.
Meanwhile, Alicia and the others looked clueless.
“So it’s him.” Li Yuan instantly knew who the other party was, with relevant information about him surfacing in his mind.
Wu Manong, a talent from Feixing!
Like Yu Jinghe, he was an extraordinary talent who had comprehended Sixth Stage Skill and could have achieved Flying Heaven Level but, similar to Yu Jinghe, had always held back from breaking through.
“Staying at level 29 for so long, he must be awakening more Star Meridians,” Li Yuan thought to himself.
Yu Jinghe was an exceptionally top-grade talent rarely seen in Xia Country, but in the context of the entire Seven Star Alliance, there were still a few top-grade Origin Martial Artists who could match him.
Wu Manong was one of them.
Wu Manong spoke in an icy tone, “I’m in charge of your operation this time, and will be escorting you into the World within Worlds. All of you are Martial Path talents highly regarded by the Alliance, some even with Flying Heaven Level access, so, I don’t want to make things difficult for you; I hope we can cooperate enjoyably.”
Including Li Yuan, everyone sensed that Wu Manong might be difficult to handle.
“The first matter.”
“The ownership of the Myriad Life Extension Fruit.” Wu Manong flipped his palm, and a jade tray appeared in his hand; on the tray sat a crystal-clear fruit, with divine light seemingly sweeping across its surface.
An extraordinary aura spread out, causing the pupils of Li Yuan, Alicia, and the others to light up noticeably.
A fourth-rank treasure, the Myriad Life Extension Fruit!
“Unlike the enhancement of spiritual power, the Transformation of Physical Quality involves many aspects and is quite complicated.
Therefore, treasures that can cause rapid and significant Transformation of Physical Quality without leaving any aftermath are very rare,” Wu Manong’s voice was icy, “and your Physical Quality is too weak, some of the more powerful effects from the treasures could completely burst you.”
