High Martial Arts Era

Chapter 88: Martial Arts Determined by the Heart! Transformation of Spear Techniques

Without asking Gu Qianghan too many questions, Li Yuan first reported to his cultural class teacher, Teacher Chen, and then went to Xu Bo's office.

The door was open.

"Teacher," Li Yuan called from the door.

"Back? Come in." Xu Bo, drenched in sweat from silently practicing his fist techniques, smiled as he saw Li Yuan come in and slowly withdrew his fists.

Li Yuan immediately grabbed a towel from the rack and handed it to Xu Bo.

"Is everything at home arranged?" Xu Bo took the towel and wiped his sweat, smiling, "I've been busy these past few days. I heard your uncle's condition stabilized, so I didn't visit."

"Thank you for your hard work that day, teacher," Li Yuan said earnestly. "If it weren't for your reminder, my uncle wouldn't have been brought back so quickly."

Li Yuan had already understood the events. On the afternoon when the third base was relieved, his uncle was transferred to the seventh base, which was relatively early. However, the seventh base was also chaotic, so he wasn't immediately sent back to Jiang City. It wasn't until the high-level inquiries from Starlight Martial Hall that arrangements were made quickly. Moreover, Xu Bo had been at the hospital throughout the operation, staying until early the next morning. Li Yuan remembered all of this.

"You are my student; it's what I should do. I didn't really help much," Xu Bo smiled, then sighed, "I understand your uncle's situation well. Rest assured, he will wake up."

"Mm-hmm," Li Yuan nodded slightly, unable to help asking, "Teacher, do you know about Lin Lanyue's family situation?"

"Lin Lanyue?" Xu Bo paused, putting the towel aside, "Didn't her brother tell you? You didn't ask Lin Lanyue?"

"I sent messages to Lin Lanyue the night before and yesterday morning to confirm, but she didn't respond," Li Yuan shook his head, "Today, I found out from Gu Qianghan that she has already gone to Soaring Star."

Soaring Star and Blue Star's virtual networks are not interconnected.

"Soaring Star?"

"No wonder she asked for a long leave," Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan, "The person you met that day should be her brother. Given your intelligence, you must have guessed some of it."

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

"She has a very special family," Xu Bo said in a low voice, "I can only confirm one thing."

Li Yuan listened intently.

"Her father is a high-ranking official in the Starry Sky Martial Hall, having served as the head of the Guanshan branch and the Jiang City branch... He should be a flying warrior by now," Xu Bo said.

"A flying warrior?" Li Yuan was shocked but not entirely surprised.

Lin Lanyue's brother, who could make Hall Master Lu Huai seem like a subordinate, must have an extraordinary background.

"I don't know more than that," Xu Bo smiled, "The school's records about her family are fake. Lin is also a common surname."

"Thank you, teacher," Li Yuan said gratefully.

"Don't spread this around," Xu Bo advised, "Flying warriors are involved in significant matters. Just know it yourself, and don't tell your family."

"Understood," Li Yuan nodded.

"Saving your uncle," Xu Bo hesitated and then looked at Li Yuan, "That kindness is indeed immense, so much that you don't know how to repay it, right?"

Li Yuan showed a bitter smile.

He was indeed full of gratitude towards Lin Lanyue but didn't know how to face her.

"Did her brother trouble you?" Xu Bo suddenly asked.

"No," Li Yuan shook his head.

In fact, that 'Brother Lin' had a good attitude, never interrogated him, and didn't look down on them.

"Here's my advice: don't think about repaying the favor for now," Xu Bo considered, "You can't repay it now, and she probably doesn't need your help at the moment."

Li Yuan understood this.

"Lin Lanyue didn't tell you herself, which likely has her reasons," Xu Bo smiled.

"Her brother's attitude shows that helping you might not be a big deal for her family."

Li Yuan listened to his teacher's analysis.

The same amount of money or treasure means different things to different people.

"If you want to repay this favor someday, then focus on training," Xu Bo said.

"Sometimes, favors and troubles are the same. If you feel it's too much to repay or handle, it's because your strength is too weak, and the gap is too big."

Li Yuan's eyes lit up.

His teacher's words dispelled much of his confusion.

"If you become a Level 29 source warrior, you might be able to help Lin Lanyue with some things," Xu Bo said, "If you become a flying warrior, you can definitely help."

"But now? You can't help with anything," Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan nodded lightly, "I understand, thank you, teacher."

"You've signed with Kunlun Martial University."

Xu Bo advised, "Have lofty ambitions but also be down-to-earth. Focus on training and studying for now, and strive to get into Kunlun Martial University."

"The April exams are coming soon. You performed well in the Jiangbei Martial University's invitation event, and many people are watching you. Do your best."

...

Walking back to his martial arts room, Li Yuan passed by 4001 Martial Arts Room.

He glanced at it subconsciously.

This was Lin Lanyue's martial arts room. For the past six months, Li Yuan had passed by it almost daily and occasionally ran into Lin Lanyue... But now, the room was closed.

Back in his own room, 4011.

"Whoo!" Li Yuan took out his spear from the weapon cabinet.

These past two days, he had been running between the hospital and home.

Aside from occasionally practicing the "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Sutra" and basic exercises, Li Yuan hadn't practiced his spear.

"The teacher is right."

"Now, even if I see Lin Lanyue, what can I say?" Li Yuan thought, "Thank you?"

Verbal gratitude is sometimes essential, but often it has no practical meaning.

"This time."

"My uncle was in danger." Li Yuan gripped his spear with both hands.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The spear's shadow interweaved, the terrifying force tearing through the air, creating sharp whistling sounds.

Li Yuan quietly felt the movement of power within the spear.

"Whether it's Senior Ji, Kunlun Martial University, or Starlight Martial Hall, they helped me because of my uncle. But probably more because they saw a glimmer of hope that I might become a flying warrior during the Jiangbei Martial University's invitation event."

One's own value is fundamental.

"Then."

"Make myself stronger." Li Yuan's eyes grew firm, "If I were strong enough, if I had the strength of Yu Jinghe, then the moment I got the news, I wouldn't have to wait for results. I could try to save my uncle myself."

"I could control my destiny."

"If stronger, strong enough to reach Dongfang Ji's level, or even beyond!"

"Then perhaps the war in the Rob Sea Star Realm wouldn't happen."

"The country, even all of human civilization, would have countless people like my uncle who wouldn't have to risk their lives or pay with their lives!" As Li Yuan's thoughts became clearer, his spear moved faster.

He remembered every word his uncle said before almost passing.

"I have no regrets..."

No regrets!

His uncle went to the Luo Bu Sea Astral Realm front line for more money for a better life for his family... but he also had the heart of a hero.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Li Yuan's thoughts grew clearer.

His uncle's incident was like a spiritual baptism, making his heart stronger and purer.

Martial arts are the way of killing.

But martial arts are determined by the heart. How far one can go often depends on the heart.

As his heart changed, Li Yuan's spear seemed to be influenced, moving faster.

One thrust after another!

One form after another!

"Not right! Not right!"

"My spear should be faster."

"More stable." Li Yuan muttered, repeatedly practicing basic spear forms, trying to draw more power from his body with the Starry Spear Technique.

Ten times!

Fifty times!

A hundred times! Li Yuan gradually immersed himself, and his spear techniques grew faster.

His mind became increasingly attuned to his body.

Finally, as if reaching a critical point.

Boom! Li Yuan's spear suddenly exploded with a more terrifying force.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! The spear light shone like arcs, vast and unstoppable, as if a massive star was rolling, with an invincible momentum.

Like the impact of a star river, wave after wave, rising higher and higher, until it was unstoppable!

This scene.

If Xu Bo saw it, he would recognize it instantly.

Li Yuan was performing the second killing move of the Starry Spear Technique, Star River Waterfall.

[Your spear technique has improved from Stage 4, 5% to 18%.]

[Your fist technique has improved from Stage 4, 7% to 20%.]

[Your footwork has improved from Stage 4, 2% to 13%.]

Three notifications appeared on the Divine Palace panel.

However, immersed in his spear technique, Li Yuan didn't notice.

...

He practiced for an hour straight before fully waking up.

"Star River Waterfall?" Li Yuan was stunned, and countless insights from his spear practice flooded his mind.

Had he just comprehended the second move of the Starry Spear Technique?

It had only been half a month since he grasped the first move.

"Spear Technique Stage 4, 18%? Fist Technique Stage 4, 20%?" Li Yuan noticed the three notifications on the Divine Palace panel, even more shocked.

Each 1% improvement at Stage 4 was much harder than at Stage 3.

And he had improved by over 10% in just one hour?

"Could this be what Teacher Xu Bo called a spiritual enlightenment?" Li Yuan pondered, feeling the changes in the connection between his mind and body.

The unity of body and mind would unleash more terrifying power.

Improving his techniques would accelerate his body's evolution.

"It seems."

"I won't have to wait until the college entrance exam; soon, I'll reach 300 points in the Meteor Rank."

...

Time passed, and Li Yuan's life gradually returned to normal.

Though his uncle hadn't woken up, like a vegetative state, his condition was steadily improving.

This was already a great result for Li Yuan and his family.

On the afternoon of March 22, in 4011 Martial Arts Room.

Suddenly.

"Master, you have multiple account notifications," the assistant's voice rang out.

"Money arrived?" Li Yuan put down his spear and checked.

"Your account ending in 1486 has received 3,600,000.00 Bluestar coins..."

"Your account ending in 1486 has received 2,000,000.00 Bluestar coins..."

"Your account ending in 1486 has received 1,000,000.00 Bluestar coins..."

"Your account ending in 1486 has received 1,000,000.00 Bluestar coins..."
