Chapter 234: Alicia's Trump Card! Competing for the Treasure! (Two-in-One for Monthly Tickets)
During the virtual battle, aside from Dantai Feng, the person who attracted Li Yuan's attention the most was Alicia.
Because the Martial Arts University she attended was only slightly better than Jiangbei Martial University and far from the likes of Kunlun Martial University and Kyoto Martial University, which are well-known local institutions.
Moreover, Li Yuan had checked, her college entrance exam scores weren't very good, and she hadn't even made it into the virtual battle knockout round (top thousand) by her sophomore year, but then she had undergone an astonishing transformation within just one year.
Within that year, her skills had leaped from the high ranks of Fourth Level all the way to Fifth Stage, and she even stood at the pinnacle of the Blue Star competition.
She even entered the top five in the end.
Deep down, Li Yuan really admired her, just as he always admired Tian Dazhuang.
Those who emerge from hardships and sharpen their will and determination often progress faster the further they go.
A person's talent is never fixed and unchangeable from birth.
"Oh? That little girl has come too?" Dean Hai, standing beside Li Yuan, had also noticed the blond-haired, blue-eyed Alicia not far away.

Dean Hai had watched the virtual battles and was deeply impressed by Alicia.
"Her skills are so advanced, yet she hasn't become a Prime Warrior by her junior year?" Dean Hai's eyes flickered with a hint of confusion.
"Dean, like me, she hasn't awakened her Martial Spirit," Li Yuan explained in a low voice.
"Heh, you seem to know a lot about her, got your eye on the young lady?" Dean Hai chuckled, "And you, you don't even have a matching high-rank Cultivation Method, so how did you almost become a Prime Warrior as a freshman?"
Li Yuan could only give a wry smile, unable to answer.
The higher the skill, the more one could unearth one's physical potential, and the faster the improvement in physical quality... but ultimately, it requires time to accumulate.
As far as Li Yuan knew, people like Dantai Feng had extremely favorable external conditions, yet their physical quality had only reached level 15.
Naturally, they wouldn't attempt to break into World within Worlds.
While high-rank Fifth Stage Martial Artists who had been cultivating for several years, like Jin Huguo and Yin Man, were mostly already Prime Warriors and didn't even get the chance to enter the Middle Realm.
Therefore, looking across the Seven Star Alliance, there is a large batch of talented Martial Path practitioners at the university level (freshman to fifth year) who have reached Fifth Stage Skill, totaling over a thousand... But to enter World in Worlds, one must be First Order life or below, so the number of people who meet the criteria naturally plummeted.
Furthermore, not everyone is willing to go to battle.
In the end, throughout the entire Seven Star Alliance, only seven Fifth Stage prodigies came.
Among those affiliated with Blue Star, Li Yuan estimated that only he and Alicia were present.
In fact, based on the conversations Li Yuan had with Dean Hai along their way, their civilization has quite a few opportunities similar to World within Worlds, including many relic sites... but whether one can enter often depends on luck.
"Teacher, where are we going now?" Li Yuan asked softly.
"Other students from the school are mostly regular conscripts; they will join the main force and stand by," Dean Hai said, "The seven of you, who are the strongest, will have a separate meeting with you."
Li Yuan nodded in understanding.
This entry into the World within Worlds was divided into three levels of conscription by the Seven Star Alliance.
The first level was for those like him and Alicia, who were the main fighting force.
The second level consisted of more than 200 elite fighters who had reached the First Order Limit and were on the verge of becoming Prime Warriors.
The third level included more than 5,000 level 19 Martial Artists.
"Let's go." Dean Hai, having led Li Yuan through the identity check at the entrance, quickly entered the inner wall of the War Fortress.
As for the other 17 students from Kunlun Martial University, naturally, someone from the military would come to meet them.
A few hundred meters away at the airport runway.
"Li Yuan?"
Alicia, who had also caught sight of Li Yuan, showed a flicker of surprise in her eyes, "He's only a freshman, right? Rumor has it that, like me, he also hasn't matched a high-rank Cultivation Method. Could it be that his Physical Quality is already close to that of a Prime Warrior? How did he do that?"
Just like Li Yuan was rather familiar with Alicia.
Li Yuan, as the most dazzling presence in the Blue Star competition, was highly noticed and Alicia had privately looked up information about him.
Suddenly.
"Alicia, don't underestimate this young man, his spiritual power should have already reached Flying Heaven Level," a childlike voice echoed in her mind.
"Flying Heaven Level?" Alicia was even more startled internally, fully aware of what that signified.
"Little Star, why don't you come out?" Alicia responded with curiosity.
"Dare not," the childlike voice said, "A Flying Heaven Level being will be able to produce Divine Sense... Ordinary Divine Sense can't detect my presence, but that Li Yuan, the handsome man beside him, his spiritual power is probably at level 35. If I come out, he'll be able to perceive my presence."
"Level 35 spiritual power?" Alicia's heart grew even more shocked, "A Flying Heaven Warrior?"
She did not recognize Dean Hai, but she could sense his extraordinariness.
"Could it be that a Flying Heaven Warrior personally escorted Li Yuan here?" Alicia thought.
"Alicia, let's go," a rough voice sounded, and immediately a burly figure walked down from the aircraft, "I will take you to the base. After that, you will follow the arrangements."
"Yes, Teacher," Alicia nodded. The person escorting her was a top-grade Origin Martial Artist teacher.
Her and Li Yuan's standings within the alliance differed.
Whoosh!
Alicia followed the burly figure toward the nearby massive war base.
"Alicia, don't worry too much," the childlike voice resounded in her mind again, "Your civilization is just a small Fourth Level Civilization. Li Yuan is merely stronger than you at the current stage... With me by your side, you will definitely surpass him gradually."
"Follow my plan, and at the very least, you climbing step by step to the peak of your civilization is absolutely no problem," the childlike voice asserted.
"Okay, got it," Alicia responded perfunctorily in her mind.
