High-Level Martial Era

```

This speculation also confirmed what Star Lord Bai Shan said, "When cultivating it through a powerful Star Meridian, the effectiveness of the Star Technique will also be stronger."

In short.

According to Li Yuan's speculation.

"One must cultivate this Star Technique to the 9th level of the First Rank, or even to the 9th level of the Second Rank, to truly unleash its might as a Supreme Star Technique," Li Yuan felt an intense craving in his heart.

...

Under the night sky, in the underground Martial Arts Room of Li Yuan's villa.

It was as bright as day.

"Others, when they cultivate the 'True Solution of the Earth Star Vein,' reach the limit after achieving the 3rd or 4th level of the First Rank and then step into the Second Rank," Li Yuan shook his head to himself: "Yet I need to cultivate it to the 9th level of the First Rank, no! Maybe even the 10th level."

"Only then can the Star Technique achieve Perfection at the First Rank and advance into the Second Rank."

Of course, the effects will certainly be much greater.

"If I wish to continue training."

"I will need even more Earth Origin Crystals," Li Yuan shook his head to himself: "Once I have cultivated to Perfection of the First Rank and proceed to train in the Second Rank, the Earth Origin Crystals needed will only increase... It's just not feasible to obtain them."

He could only put it aside for the time being.

There's no way to speak directly about it, and what if I did? Even if Bai Shan and Fang Hai believed me, could they actually produce more Earth Origin Crystals?

This is a Fourth Rank treasure!

It's not a cabbage on the roadside.

...

Having fully consumed the Earth Origin Crystals.

Li Yuan's heart became much more tranquil, and he stopped mulling over it.

In the following four hours.

Li Yuan practiced the Visualization Method, "All Heavens' Stars," once more, and his heart became completely at peace.

Time had reached 4 am on February 18th.

"If the Star Technique can't be perfected for now, let's leave it for later. Once I become a Prime Warrior and go to Feixing... naturally, there will be many methods," after practicing the Visualization Method, Li Yuan felt refreshed and clear-headed.

He picked up the Black Chen Spear from a nearby rack.

"Whoosh!"

Li Yuan began practicing the "Stellar Spear Technique" anew.

Each move was continuously switched, increasing the speed of the Long Spear to become faster and more ferocious.

The Spear Technique was seamless, the Spear Light danced like a flowing river of stars, relentless and powerful.

Extremely smooth.

"Cultivating the 'True Solution of the Earth Star Vein' to level 6 has indeed made me much more attuned to the universe," a spark lit in Li Yuan's eyes as he had never felt the cultivation of Spear Technique this smooth before.

This type of Star Technique that enhances the efficiency of skill cultivation is very mystical and unpredictable, very hard to perceive directly.

One must practice it personally to feel the difference.

"Only 16 hours remain until the virtual battle finals."

"Nevsky, as well as Yin Man, and Harmon, might all possess Intermediate Rank Fifth Stage skills,"

"At least, Nevsky has proven this."

"If I want to win, relying on offense will be difficult," Li Yuan still remembered his duel with Hoffman.

The Meaning of the Stellar excels in defense but not in offense.

When facing opponents with a far weaker realm, it's irrelevant.

But when competing against a high-level adversary with similar strength, offensive clashes can easily lead to defeat.

"I'll focus on defense."

"As long as I can hold my ground, I have a chance to win the final," Li Yuan focused on perfecting his Spear Technique: "I'd like to see who among them can penetrate my Spear Technique's defense."

Whoosh! Whoosh!

As Li Yuan practiced, his mind became even smoother.

Gradually, his entire being, his consciousness melted into the Spear Technique until he almost merged with the universe itself; with every thrust of the spear, he tried to harness the most essential mystery between heaven and earth to maximize its power.

As the Spear Technique exploded, he even began to draw upon some of the universe's divine power.

Slowly, Li Yuan entered a self-forgetful state, completely immersed in the Spear Technique.

Silently.

"[Your Spear Technique Realm has increased from 33% of the Fifth Stage to 34%]," a Divine Palace notification flashed by.

But Li Yuan did not notice, remaining deeply engrossed in his training.

As the sun set and rose.

Li Yuan's practice lasted for over 10 hours.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the next afternoon.

With Li Yuan's current Physical Quality, he was capable of enduring such intense cultivation for well over a dozen hours.

After all, it wasn't a life-or-death struggle, just pure Spear Technique training, not pushing the body to its explosive limits.

Suddenly.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

After practicing for over ten hours, Li Yuan, as if blessed with sudden inspiration, made his Long Spear roar like a dragon and revolve like a reversing galaxy, tracing brilliant streaks of light in mid-air; it seemed like an enormous vortex burst forth with an astonishing suction power.

It was like a colossal barrier, capable of absorbing and blocking all incoming attacks from the front.

Rustle! Rustle!

The frighteningly magnificent streaks of light completely enveloped Li Yuan; at that moment, any attack entering this range would be sucked in and then shattered by the starlight composed of countless Spear Lights.

For a long while!

The aftermath settled, and the Martial Arts Room returned to peace.

"This! This! Just over one night, did I unconsciously create such a defensive maneuver?" Li Yuan was fully alert and astonished, "Its power is indeed great."

"Spear Technique!"

"Whether it's weapons or Origin Power Star Techniques, they are all just the foundation; to fully unleash these powers, one needs an extremely high Skill Realm," Li Yuan's eyes sparkled with excitement.

He had finally created a true Third Rank Spear Technique.

That's right.

Star Techniques are important, the quantity of Star Meridians is important... but no matter how strong these aspects, a Prime Warrior facing a Demigod would still be killed in one move.

How do you become a Demigod? Firstly, your skills must be exceptional!

Like Star Meridian awakening and Physical Quality, Spiritual Power, etc., it is possible to find external means to compensate... but only the Skill Realm must be realized on one's own.

Just like becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior, even if you awaken the Seven Star Veins, the Eight Star Veins... without the Fifth Stage Perfect Skill, you cannot become a Flying Heaven Warrior.
