“Now that the Star Realm has upgraded, what’s the plan from above?” Li Yuan asked with considerable curiosity.
“Haha, I’ve heard about some of your accomplishments, Blue Star’s virtual combat champion, you must have very high clearance, so it’s no problem to share some details.” Liu Jing said with a smile, “The state is likely preparing to fully develop the Mingxu Star Realm… planning to set it up as a breeding area.”
“A breeding area?” Li Yuan’s eyes lit up, and he nodded, “The environment in the Mingxu Star Realm is extremely good. If it’s developed as a breeding zone, it won’t be difficult to sustain a population of several billion in the future.”
According to the intelligence Li Yuan was aware of, the Mingxu Star Realm should be among the most habitable realms that Blue Star has come into contact with.
Like the Fierce Feather Star Realm, the environment is actually quite harsh, yet it still supports a population of over a hundred million.
Similarly, the Rob Sea Star Realm also has very adverse living conditions.
And the only Third Level Star Realm on Blue Star, the ‘Wanhan Star Realm’, is even more terrifying. Ordinary Prime Warriors find it difficult to survive there, let alone ordinary people… who would probably die within a day of arrival.
“In the past, due to the restrictions at the entrance, the alliance couldn’t invest a large amount of resources.” Liu Jing said, “Now, though, we essentially have enough.”
“However, carving out a large-scale breeding zone is likely to lead to a conflict with the indigenous life of the Mingxu Star Realm, I suppose.” Li Yuan thought of this issue.
The native life forces in the Mingxu Star Realm are extremely formidable.
“Yeah.” Liu Jing couldn’t help but nod, “Not just the Mingxu Star Realm, such habitable realms with vast territory and numerous mineral resources… the Tianliang Civilization will certainly also go all out to compete with us, and a major war is inevitable.”
“A major war?” Li Yuan sighed inwardly.
If things go wrong, it could turn into another meat grinder battleground like Rob Sea, it’s hard to say.
But this is also inevitable.
Every civilization that wants to advance must seize every opportunity and try to compete for precious resources.
A step behind is to fall behind at every turn… if the Seven Star Civilization doesn’t work hard to strengthen itself, it could easily be swallowed up by other civilizations.
…
After chatting with Liu Jing for a while longer, they ended the communication.
Stay updated through empire
“Mingxu Star Realm.” Li Yuan immediately started searching for relevant information on the virtual network using his privileges.
His clearance level was much higher than Liu Jing’s.
Before long, Li Yuan finally found something in a ‘meeting record’ of the Starfire Martial Hall.
“Ming Mountain?”
“The Flying Heaven Warriors believe that this major change comes from the Ming Mountain within the Mingxu Star Realm?” Li Yuan’s heart stirred, remembering the scenery of the Mingxu Star Realm back in the day.
That mountain that towered thousands of kilometers high, indeed, was unimaginable.
And it wasn’t an extraterrestrial star.
“But it has nothing to do with me,” Li Yuan mused silently, “If they wanted to explore the secrets of Ming Mountain, the alliance leadership would either dispatch people to break through to Flying Heaven Warriors within the realm.”
“Or, they would send top geniuses like Lude Nef and Wu Manong.”
“Otherwise, what could be used to fight against the indigenous Flying Heaven life of the Mingxu Star Realm?” Li Yuan thought to himself.
He could imagine that, in the future, whether the Seven Star Civilization wanted to open up a new breeding zone,
Or to compete with the Tianliang Civilization,
The struggle was bound to be very brutal.
…
The matter of the Mingxu Star Realm was only a minor episode for Li Yuan; he wasn’t yet in a position to worry about this affair.
The next day.
Liu Jing arrived at Kunlun Martial University, and both Li Yuan and Li Yang went to greet him, and they accompanied Liu Jing on a tour of the school.
“Li Yuan, you already possess the strength of a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist?” When Liu Jing learned of this news, he was similarly surprised and astonished.
He knew of Li Yuan’s exceptional talent, but barely half a year had passed.
Could he have grown to such an extent already?
…
Liu Jing’s visit to Kunlun Martial University was just to see his alma mater… After seeing him off,
A few more days passed.
“Tomorrow is the graduation ceremony,” Li Yuan stood on the balcony on the second floor of his villa, overlooking the tranquil campus, feeling somewhat sentimental, “How fast time flies.”
Suddenly, a spark of inspiration flashed through Li Yuan’s mind.
“Haha, with graduation coming up, I should leave something for the juniors behind.” Li Yuan’s mouth curled into a slightly mischievous smile.
He turned around,
And headed straight for the rest area, quickly logging into the virtual network, the Kunlun Martial University space.
“Kunlun Nine Mountains.” Li Yuan directly applied to challenge the ‘Kunlun Nine Mountains’.
Kunlun Nine Mountains.
This was a ‘challenge space’ set up within the virtual network by Kunlun Martial University specifically for its students.
At the start of his studies, during the freshman competition, Li Yuan had represented the Sixth Institute to blaze through the Fourth Mountain, stopping at the Fifth Mountain.
Since then, Li Yuan hadn’t attempted the challenge again.
Whoosh!
With a flash, Li Yuan arrived at the foothills of the first mountain of the Kunlun Nine Mountains.
With just one glance, Li Yuan saw the Kunlun Nine Mountains record in the view next to him:
Freshman record of Kunlun Nine Mountains (from Seven Stars Year 2009 to present)
First place: Yan Jing, 8000 points (2030)
Second place: Jin Huguo, 8000 points (2042)
Third…
…
“Now that I’m about to graduate, let’s give the juniors behind me a bit of a shock,” Li Yuan revealed a smile, “Let them know there’s a Li Yuan among them.”
Whoosh!
Li Yuan, holding a Long Spear and setting his Physical Quality to level 20, strode towards the first mountain.
Just half an hour later.
Li Yuan finished the challenge, looking at the rankings that had been thoroughly refreshed, he felt quite satisfied.
“If Dantai Feng sees this, he’s bound to be envious and resentful,” Li Yuan grinned, “After all, he has no way of refreshing the various school records of Starfire University like I did.”
The records of the two schools were of entirely different difficulty levels.
Whoosh!
With a thought, Li Yuan left the virtual network.
…
Just one minute after Li Yuan completed the Kunlun Nine Mountains challenge.
Swoosh!
A graceful figure appeared at the foot of the first mountain, notably, it was ‘Shi Xiao’, a senior sister with whom Li Yuan was quite familiar.
