High-Level Martial Era

"Another victory."

"Now an Inner Sect disciple, a divine disciple of the Inner Sect," Li Yuan felt quite anticipative, unable to help but glance toward the number one warrior standing at the edge of the great hall.

As long as he defeated the opponent, he could become a Direct Disciple.

...

Two minutes later, Li Yuan's exchange with the number one Golden Armored Warrior concluded.

Li Yuan—defeated miserably!

The speed and strength of the number one warrior weren't much different from those of the second and third warriors, what truly made him formidable was his skill, his Sword Technique.

Even though Li Yuan was mentally prepared, and both sides went all out from the moment they crossed spears... the number one Golden Armored Warrior was just too formidable, his skill level far exceeded Li Yuan's expectations.

Fifth Stage High Rank!

Not only was his strength and speed a great deal stronger than Li Yuan's, but his skills were also so much more formidable.

Even when Li Yuan deployed his True Intent Killing Move, it still didn't give him an advantage over the number one warrior; he remained at a disadvantage.

Ultimately, after exchanging hundreds of moves,

Li Yuan was still sent flying by a slash, crashing heavily against the Divine Pillar at the side of the temple, towering hundreds of meters.

The material of the Divine Pillar was unknown, its surface incredibly smooth, and even a collision from Li Yuan left not the slightest mark.

"You've lost, do you still want to continue fighting?" the number one Golden Armored Warrior said with a smile, "If we keep fighting, I'm afraid I might not control my strength and accidentally kill you."

"I'm still lacking," Li Yuan said with a resigned smile, "When I have trained, I will definitely defeat you."

"Haha, good!"

...

After crossing spears with the three great Golden Armored Warriors and attaining the 'Inner Sect Disciple' status, Li Yuan returned to the Map of Myriad Stars.

"It seems, becoming a Direct Disciple directly and receiving the legacy is not possible for now."

"Defeat the number one warrior?" Li Yuan recalled the battle scene just now.

The gap in strength was too big.

"On the one hand, I must improve my Physical Quality, striving to close the gap between our physical qualities," Li Yuan thought to himself, "On the other hand, I must also continue to hone my skills."

"Three months?"

"Now that I'm practicing with the 'True Solution of the Earth Star Vein' and have this Map of Myriad Stars, let's see how far I can go." Li Yuan was filled with anticipation.

Ever since attaining the 'True Solution of the Earth Star Vein,' he had not had the chance to practice it properly.

"Stellar True Intent."

Looking up toward the Map of Myriad Stars, Li Yuan's formidable spiritual power perceived the subtle and profound fluctuations emanating from it.

Hum~

With a thought, Li Yuan's Perfect Star Vein began to circulate within his body, and the first Rank 9 level of the 'True Solution of the Earth Star Vein' also fully erupted, making his comprehension of the Map of Myriad Stars all the clearer.

Time passed.

"All talk and no practice, just looking doesn't seem to bring deep comprehension," Li Yuan realized.

He stood up, and a Black Chen Spear appeared in his hand, beginning to execute the Spear Technique in line with the many thoughts in his mind.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The Long Spear moved like a dragon, drawing mysterious forces from heaven and earth, vaguely interweaving countless resplendent lights at the tip of the spear.

"Not quite right."

"It should be fiercer, my Spear Technique should be more ferocious," Li Yuan followed his own intuition, practicing his Spear Technique wholeheartedly, tirelessly integrating his many insights into the technique.

Everything was for the sake of increasing the power of his Spear Technique.

"The lad has started practicing the spear."

"Wanting to defeat the elder brother isn't easy. Three months? Can he make it?" the third and second warrior watched from a distance, as Li Yuan practiced the spear alone.

As metal puppets, they lacked the ability to learn; their physical strength could change, but their skills could not.

"Difficult!"

"Becoming a Direct Disciple is inherently arduous." The third and second warrior both felt that Li Yuan had a very slim hope of becoming a Direct Disciple.

Days passed by, one after another.

Li Yuan kept training incessantly, and after just ten days,

"What?"

"This kid, he can fight to this extent with the elder brother? His growth is too fast." The third and second warrior were both somewhat astonished watching Li Yuan's exchange with the number one warrior inside the hall.

"Three months?"

"With such a rate of progress, maybe in just one month, he might have the hope of defeating the elder brother."
