Chapter 81: 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.

"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.
