High Martial Arts Era

Chapter 81: Source Energy Infusion

Buzz~ Li Yuan's consciousness entered his inner world.

Every day, he practiced "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Sutra" for two hours, so he was very familiar with everything in his inner world.

The inner world was vast and boundless.

Li Yuan focused his attention on the central spiritual palace, and his consciousness directly entered.

"Hmm?" As soon as Li Yuan's consciousness entered, he was shocked to find that in the originally empty palace, besides the Great Sun Jade Platform, there was now a white jade staircase.

"A staircase?" Li Yuan thought, "Could it lead to the second level?"

The spiritual palace, when viewed from the void outside the palace, appeared to have four levels.

However, Li Yuan had only been able to enter the first level for a long time.

He even doubted whether the spiritual palace actually had four levels or if it was just an illusion of his consciousness.

After all, everything in the inner world was a mental construct and not absolutely real.

But now, there was a new passage?

"Let's try." Li Yuan gathered his consciousness and attempted to explore the higher level of the spiritual palace through the newly appeared staircase.

As soon as his consciousness body tried to step onto the staircase.

Boom! An unprecedentedly terrifying pressure swept over him, as if a giant stone had crashed down, causing Li Yuan's consciousness body to tremble violently.

His mind went blank, and he felt dizzy.

After a while.

Li Yuan's consciousness recovered, and he re-entered the spiritual palace, staring intently at the newly appeared white jade staircase.

"In the inner world, the strength of mental power determines the strength of my consciousness," Li Yuan understood. "This staircase has extremely terrifying pressure... my consciousness is too weak to withstand it."

His mental power was still not strong enough.

"15.1-level mental power isn't enough? Maybe I need to wait until my mental power is higher, around 18 or even 20, before trying again," Li Yuan muttered.

He dared not try again lightly.

The mental shock just now, if it had happened half a year ago, might have turned him into an idiot.

Now, although he could barely withstand it, he couldn't keep taking such hits.

"The staircase seems to lead to the second level of the spiritual palace, but I can't go up yet," Li Yuan wondered. "How should I guide the source energy into my body?"

There were no clues.

"What should I do?"

As if sensing Li Yuan's thoughts, the spiritual palace began to tremble slightly.

Immediately after, he saw golden mist drifting down from the end of the staircase, from what seemed to be the second level.

"Golden mist? What's this?" Li Yuan was taken aback.

Before he could react.

Buzz~

The golden mist, which seemed to have fallen from the second level of the spiritual palace, merged directly into his consciousness body.

Boom!

Li Yuan's consciousness felt as if it was struck by lightning. Darkness swept over him, making him drowsy, and he vaguely sensed that his inner world had changed from the spiritual palace to an endless dark space.

"Where is this?" Most of Li Yuan's consciousness had fallen asleep, leaving only a few thoughts.

Buzz~ Silently, a majestic and vast voice seemed to come from the depths of the endless darkness.

"Seek the dust and find the micro, merge into one, the essence of the sun and moon, forge the spiritual foundation; let the heart follow the flow of qi, keep the great orifices in mind..." Each ancient word seemed to contain profound truths, directly reflecting into the depths of Li Yuan's consciousness.

It was similar to "The Great Sun Starry Sky Sutra," making it unforgettable for Li Yuan.

Unknowingly, Li Yuan's mind completely emptied, and countless stars seemed to appear and drift in the dark space around him, nourishing his consciousness.

Strengthening his consciousness.

...

In the room.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Li Yuan sensed strands of mysterious power gradually seeping into his body.

Legend has it that the human body is like a vast universe with 480 million acupuncture points and stars, and Li Yuan now had this illusion.

"So many!"

"Penetrating all limbs and bones."

"It's source energy." Li Yuan, familiar with source energy from the many times he had taken source energy pills, recognized it instantly.

His consciousness became clearer, sensing that the energy entering his body was indeed source energy.

From the outside world.

From the heavens and earth.

And it was much purer than the source energy pills he had taken before.

"According to Teacher Xu and Dean Li, doesn't one need to become a source warrior before the body can autonomously absorb source energy?" Li Yuan was shocked. "Is this the 'source energy infusion' of the spiritual palace?"

Li Yuan didn't ponder further but calmed his mind completely.

He observed his own body internally!

"Source energy!" Li Yuan tried to use his mental power to guide the continuously entering source energy.

Suddenly.

Buzz~ Li Yuan clearly felt the source energy entering his body increasing, as if accelerating.

Boom!

The pure and abundant source energy finally gathered like a flood, flowing through his limbs and bones. Then, countless pure source energy began to be absorbed frantically by Li Yuan's muscles, bones, and internal organs.

Li Yuan's entire body trembled violently.

"Evolution."

"My body." Li Yuan was astonished. His muscles, bones, skin, membranes, internal organs, even his blood and hair, were all frantically absorbing the source energy, continuously transforming.

In the past.

Taking source energy pills placed a great burden on his body, but today, his body absorbed the source energy as if there were no limits...

[Your life level has increased from 8.9 to 9.0]

[Your life level has increased from 9.1 to 9.2]

[Your punching force has increased from...]

As his physical fitness improved rapidly, notifications flashed on Li Yuan's spiritual palace panel every so often.

Clearly, the process of source energy infusion would last for several hours.

...

As Li Yuan began to guide the source energy into his body, constantly transforming his physical fitness.

At eleven o'clock at night.

In Starlight South Lake Community, more than a hundred kilometers away from Jiangbei Martial University, Jiangcheng, the lakeside villa was brightly lit.

In the basement.

In a nearly thousand-square-meter martial arts room.

It was empty, and at the far end of the martial arts room, a large character "武" (Martial) was written on the wall.

The writing was bold and powerful, as if carved with a sword.

"Unleash the body's potential."

"Unite body and mind."

Wan Qinghe stood in the center of the martial arts room in loose martial arts clothes, his eyes slightly closed, sighing inwardly, "This last insight, to see through the details, is truly difficult."

"After all these years, I still can't break through." Wan Qinghe was quite distressed.

His physical fitness had been stuck at level 25 for several years, unable to progress further.

What he lacked was not advanced training methods or mental power.

But skill!

The further one advanced in cultivation, the more it tested mental power and martial arts skills... The stronger the skills, the more potential one could unlock in the body, naturally making physical fitness stronger.

Conversely.

Even with powerful source energy and body strength, without sufficient skills to control it, it was difficult to exert strength.

"Senior Jiu Mo told me."

"I've been venturing in the Astral Realm for years, driven by urgency."

"In life-and-death battles, the difference between life and death is narrow. How can one not be urgent?" Wan Qinghe pondered, "If I want to break through, I must find serenity."

"So I returned to Jiangcheng and took up the position of Hall Master of the Level 5 Martial Hall."

While Wan Qinghe was thinking.

Suddenly.

"Master, an important person requests a video call." A gentle voice interrupted, "Remark: Ninth Senior Brother."

"Hmm?"

"Ninth Senior Brother calling me so late? What could it be?" Wan Qinghe's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "Answer."

Buzz~

The video call connected.

"Ninth Senior Brother." Wan Qinghe slightly bowed.

In the video, his Ninth Senior Brother was wearing shorts, revealing his eight-pack abs, holding a wine glass, and lying leisurely on a bed.

The voices of several women playing could be heard nearby.

"Junior Brother, still training so late? You're really diligent. Hope I'm not disturbing you," Ninth Senior Brother said, taking a sip of wine.

"Senior Brother, you're joking. I just want to break through as soon as possible," Wan Qinghe smiled. "What's the matter, Senior Brother, calling me so late?"

"Nothing particularly important."

"Just now, Dean Li of Kunlun Martial University contacted me," Ninth Senior Brother said. "He's the head of the observation team in Jiangbei and mentioned something about Li Yuan."

"Li Yuan?"

Wan Qinghe's eyes lit up, feeling both excited and nervous. "What did Dean Li say?"

"Hehe, Li Yuan is very good," Ninth Senior Brother smiled. "You recommended a great talent to our Kunlun Martial University. Dean Li has signed him with an 'S-level Special Training Contract.'"

"S-level Special Training Contract?" Wan Qinghe was shocked.

He didn't know about this yet.

After all, the invitation event was organized by the Martial Arts Bureau, the Education Bureau, and Jiangbei Martial University.

No one directly informed Starlight Martial Hall.

"Yes."

"Moreover, you might not know this, but Li Yuan's spear and footwork have both reached the fourth stage," Ninth Senior Brother said. "He also ranked first in today's field test."

"A decisive first place," Ninth Senior Brother added.

"This?" Wan Qinghe was stunned.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to be shocked or overjoyed.

This series of news was beyond his expectations.

"Ninth Senior Brother, it's great that Li Yuan signed the S-level Special Training Contract. Thank you, Senior Brother," Wan Qinghe said instinctively.

The higher the level of the special training contract Li Yuan signed, the stronger his future strength when he returned to Starlight Martial Hall.

This would benefit Wan Qinghe greatly.

"Don't get too happy yet," Ninth Senior Brother smiled. "If it were all good news, I wouldn't have bothered to inform you. The key is there's some bad news."

"Bad news?" Wan Qinghe's heart skipped a beat.

"I just found out about this. After today's field test ended, the military seemed to have offered Li Yuan an 'S-level contract invitation.'"

"S-level contract?" Wan Qinghe was shocked. "Is that true?"

"Can't be sure."

Ninth Senior Brother shrugged. "But I can confirm two things. First, the military has sponsored Li Yuan with one million."

"Second, another martial arts genius sponsored by the military, Tian Dazhuang, has confirmed he will join the military and signed an S-level contract."

Wan Qinghe felt a wave of anxiety.

He didn't care which university Li Yuan signed with since the contracts didn't conflict.

But if he signed with the military, he would definitely have to terminate his contract with Starlight Martial Hall.

Yes, the breach fee for a B-level contract was high, but that was relative to ordinary people.

A few tens of millions of breach fees were nothing to the military.

"Alright."

"Junior Brother, I've informed you," Ninth Senior Brother smiled. "What you do next is up to Starlight Martial Hall."

"I just want to remind you."

"Li Yuan may not have awakened his martial spirit yet, but a mere B-level contract won't keep him."

"I have to go now." Ninth Senior Brother reached out to embrace the enchanting woman on him.

The video call ended.

"The military? S-level contract?" Wan Qinghe tried to calm himself and think of a countermeasure.

He knew.

The next move, if not handled well, could mean losing his hard-earned achievement.
