In a mysterious place.
“A god-level remnant soul’s thought?” the blurred figure whispered, “What’s the name of that member of the Martial Divine Hall?”
“Alicia,” the deep voice answered, “from Blue Star.”
“Can you sense what race the god-level remnant soul belongs to?” the blurred figure slowly said, “Is it from beyond this domain, or from within? In what form has it survived?”
“It should be from beyond this domain; it lacks the aura of its original essence,” the deep voice said, “I can’t sense anything else clearly, as it’s extremely careful, always lurking deep within Alicia’s spiritual world, only revealing a hint of secret technique in response to Alicia’s spiritual fluctuations… If the Martial Divine Hall were just an ordinary divine artifact, it would definitely not detect it.”
“Then let’s not worry about it for now.”
“Add Alicia to the observation list, and if that remnant soul shows any inclination to possess her, eliminate her immediately,” the blurred figure ordered, “Additionally, secretly initiate a mental communication with Alicia to observe her reactions, to see if the remnant soul’s intention is reincarnation, possession, or restoration of its physical body.”
“Yes, Master.” Your next read is at empire
“How is the secret observation of Li Yuan going?” the blurred figure queried, its voice ethereal.
“His past deeds are confirmed,” the deep voice said, “Since he moved into the villa, I have been subtly sensing through the defensive Origin Power Array… I’ve confirmed he hasn’t been possessed, and the aura of his soul’s plane of origin is correct.”
“His spiritual will is strong… There are no signs of alien race control for now.”
“However, the Visualization Method he cultivates seems quite special; it could well be a second-class Visualization Method,” the deep voice said, “I speculate that there are still secrets hidden in the Fierce Feather Star Realm, but he seems unwilling to disclose them.”
“There’s no need to delve deeper.”
“Everyone has their own selfish desires and secrets.”
“Just confirm that his allegiance is to our Seven Star Civilization,” the blurred figure said, “As for his training, follow my previous instructions.”
“Yes.”
“Also, Master, the ‘North Moon Deity’ from the Myriad Demons Star Realm wants to complete the transaction we abandoned last time and has asked me about it,” the deep voice said, “What should we do?”
“Tell him,”
“the transaction is possible, but the price compared to last time is increased by thirty percent, and if they don’t agree this time, it will be increased by fifty percent next time,” the blurred figure said indifferently, “You may leave now.”
Whoosh!
Strands of golden light bloomed, faintly warping the space, making the figure even more elusive and vague, as if existing in another spatial plane.
…
Alicia’s gains were unclear to Li Yuan.
He continued his cultivation methodically.
Upon arriving in the Martial Divine Star Realm, unlike Dantai Feng and Yin Man, who might have been excited for a while, Li Yuan was used to the days of cultivation; it was simply practicing with his spear in a different place.
Just like in his younger years, even when his family was celebrating the New Year, Li Yuan could still be found practicing alone in his room, finding joy in it.
Martial Arts Cultivation is destined to be lonely.
Many strong individuals may cultivate diligently to achieve a certain goal in their hearts, for revenge, for wealth, and so on, and they believe in their bones that cultivation is incredibly arduous.
But Li Yuan was different.
At the beginning of wielding the spear, he longed to change the fate of his family, to ensure his uncle and aunt’s efforts were not in vain… However, by today, many of the goals he had were already achieved.
The lives of his family and their destiny had already been completely changed.
Yet Li Yuan could still immerse himself in cultivation wholeheartedly because—he enjoyed this solitude.
Is practicing with the spear arduous? Is cultivation arduous? Li Yuan thought these ideas were fallacies—he felt nothing but absolute comfort.”
“Xiao Yu, has the combat robot been delivered?” Li Yuan suddenly spoke.
“It was delivered two hours ago; I’ve already arranged for it to stay in the ‘charging room’,” the auxiliary intelligence’s voice responded, “Do you wish to activate it, Master?”
“Activate it!”
…
In the vast Martial Arts Room, two figures were engaged in intense combat.
“Fierce! Stellar Burst, this move should be extremely rapid,” Li Yuan wielded the Black Chen Spear, infusing it with Origin Power, endowing the Semi Divine Artifact with terrifying might.
With every thrust, it burst with the force of exploding stars.
The power of each thrust was stronger than the last, violently challenging the other figure clad in black armor, wielding dual shields.
The figure in black armor maneuvered the shields fluidly, with incredible resilience, continuously warding off Li Yuan’s Spear Technique.
“Still not fast enough.”
“If only considering the might of the Spear Technique, my second True Intent Killing Move ‘Stellar Burst’ is immensely powerful, almost the pinnacle of the Fifth Stage,” Li Yuan thought to himself, “But no matter how strong the attack’s might is, if the speed is not fast enough, it cannot be fully effective.”
The first True Intent Killing Move ‘Galaxy Flow Spin’ is a defensive technique, emphasizing an unending continuity.
The second True Intent Killing Move ‘Stellar Burst’ is a pure offensive technique, like a tiger pouncing down the mountain, overwhelming the opponent with absolute force.
But shortly after perfecting this killing move,
through continuous insight and deduction, Li Yuan realized the issue at hand—the Spear Technique was indeed fierce but not fast enough… so as long as the enemy could block it head-on, it would be hard to overcome them.
“Speed.”
“I need to make my Spear Technique faster and more unpredictable, not only with enough frightful power, but it must leave the enemy unable to trace it at all,” Li Yuan thought as he fought the figure in black armor, sensing the mysterious fluctuations of the universe through the Long Spear.
He strived to make his Spear Technique faster and more intricate.
The strongest, the fastest—that’s what could be called unbeatable Spear Technique.
It was also what Li Yuan had always pursued with his third True Intent Killing Move, but he had not yet perfected it.
“Boom! Boom!” The black-armored figure fighting Li Yuan was like an indestructible cockroach.
Even if it occasionally couldn’t withstand the Long Spear’s fierce strikes and was forced to retreat, it would come back unharmed after Unloading Force, ready to fight again.
