Chapter 59: Fourth-Level Spear Technique
Therefore, Li Yuan practiced the Rock Spear Technique repeatedly, and repeatedly pondered over the first move of the Starry Spear Technique.
This continuous practice gradually increased the power of his spear technique.
However!
The integration of body, mind, and weapon focuses on the word \'weapon,\' meaning mastering the use of the weapon.
A weapon is an extension of the body.
But it is ultimately not a part of the body; the mind\'s awareness and nerves cannot truly connect to the weapon.
Thus, sensing the force within the weapon as one would sense the muscles and tendons of the body is extremely difficult.
Over these few days, the power of his spear technique had increased.
This indicated that Li Yuan\'s perception of the excess force generated when wielding, striking, retracting, and thrusting with the weapon had become increasingly clear.
Until today.
Until this moment.
When the news of his uncle\'s uncertain fate arrived, Li Yuan repeatedly swung his spear filled with anger and murderous intent.
Again and again, he practiced!
An entire hour passed.
Li Yuan\'s mind was solely focused on the spear technique, wanting to exhaust all his energy completely.
Finally, whether it was due to accumulated effort or a stroke of luck.
"Boom!" In Li Yuan\'s mind, it was as if a door had been gently pushed open.
His powerful mental strength seemed to grow eyes, subtly penetrating into the weapon\'s interior.
He sensed the extremely minute forces operating within the weapon.
"Sss!"
The spear moved, the tip cutting through the air with dazzling arcs, unpredictable, tearing the air with a shocking sound.
Body, mind, spear!
The three elements fully united.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Swish!
The overwhelming spear lights flickered, enveloping Li Yuan in the center, like stars twinkling in the night sky, flawless and impregnable.
It was the \'Star Illumination,\' one of the five ultimate moves of the Starry Spear Technique.
The Starry Spear Technique is renowned for its defense. The first move, Star Illumination, is both the starting move and the core move.
Mastering the first move.
Only then can one gradually develop the subsequent four moves, and ultimately combine the five moves to comprehend the essence of the stars.
[Your spear technique has advanced from 99% of the third level to 2% of the fourth level]
A notification flashed across Li Yuan\'s Divine Palace interface.
Phew!
This unprecedented burst, combined with the previous hours of training.
Finally exhausted all of Li Yuan\'s energy.
Li Yuan felt unprecedented fatigue in both mind and body, a wave of tiredness surged over him, and his eyelids became heavy.
Clang! The 20-kilogram spear fell to the ground.
Li Yuan sat down directly, then lay on the ground.
He fell asleep immediately.
Too tired.
...
Over an hour later.
Li Yuan was already lying on the bed in his resting room, snoring loudly.
Next to him, Zhou Qi and Li Tianyou were sweating profusely.
Practicing the basic cultivation method continuously improves physical fitness and makes the body heavier. It took both of them a lot of effort to get Li Yuan onto the bed.
Then, they covered him with a thin blanket.
Jiang City in March still had a bit of a chill.
"Teacher Xu, is Li Yuan okay?" Zhou Qi couldn\'t help but ask, a hint of worry in his eyes.
"He\'s fine."
"He must have practiced his spear technique to the limit, exhausted his strength, and got too tired," Xu Bo, who stood like an iron tower beside them, said indifferently.
"How did you know something happened to Li Yuan?" Xu Bo looked at the two of them.
Zhou Qi and Li Tianyou exchanged glances.
"Teacher, didn\'t something happen at the Luo Bu Sea?" Li Tianyou volunteered, "Li Yuan\'s uncle has always been at the Luo Bu Sea, and when Li Yuan didn\'t come down for dinner... we got worried and came up to check."
"The door was ajar, and when we pushed it open, we found him," Li Tianyou explained.
"And you?" Xu Bo looked at Lin Lanyue, who was standing by the door.
"I saw them coming out of the martial arts room in a panic, so I came to check," Lin Lanyue, dressed in a red cloud martial arts uniform today, said, "I immediately sent a message to you, Teacher."
Lin Lanyue\'s gaze fell on Li Yuan\'s face.
Xu Bo nodded slightly and asked, "Has Li Yuan\'s uncle not returned to Jiang City yet?"
"No," Zhou Qi shook his head, "According to Li Yuan, it seems he has been staying at the frontline."
"Okay, I understand," Xu Bo nodded, "Zhou Qi, you two go eat."
"Yes."
Zhou Qi and Li Tianyou left the martial arts room.
"Lin Lanyue," Xu Bo looked at Lin Lanyue and said solemnly, "The incident with Li Yuan\'s uncle seems to have affected him greatly."
"Tomorrow afternoon."
"You will set off for Jiangbei Martial Arts University. You are more familiar with that place... try to help him as much as you can."
"Li Yuan..." Xu Bo glanced at Li Yuan lying on the bed and sighed, "He\'s not been very lucky."
"Unlucky?" Lin Lanyue was taken aback and asked, "His fainting has to do with his uncle? Is his uncle that important to him?"
In Lin Lanyue\'s impression, Li Yuan should have a strong will.
"He\'s an orphan."
Xu Bo said lightly, "His uncle raised him. As far as I know, his uncle ventured to the Lob Sea to get more allowances for Li Yuan\'s martial arts training."
Lin Lanyue\'s heart trembled, and she couldn\'t help but glance at Li Yuan lying on the bed.
She had no idea that Li Yuan\'s background was so special.
She had never known before.
"Did his uncle sacrifice himself?" Lin Lanyue couldn\'t help but ask.
"Not sure," Xu Bo shook his head, "You know, the situation over there is chaotic, but looking at Li Yuan\'s expression, it doesn\'t seem good... Star Boundary wars are unpredictable."
Lin Lanyue nodded slightly. Her background had given her a broad perspective.
In some areas, even Xu Bo might not have as much insight as her.
"Teacher Xu, I will do my best to help Li Yuan in this invitation event," Lin Lanyue said, glancing at Li Yuan again, as if she had made some kind of decision, "I will try to help him get selected for the special training list."
"But."
"You don\'t need to tell Li Yuan about this," Lin Lanyue added, "Given his character, he probably wouldn\'t want to accept direct help from others."
"Okay, I\'ll thank you on Li Yuan\'s behalf," Xu Bo smiled slightly, "You can go back now, don\'t worry."
...
After watching Lin Lanyue leave, Xu Bo\'s gaze fell on Li Yuan again, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Is it really from practicing the spear to the limit? Can it be this exhausting?" Xu Bo muttered to himself.
The initial tests with the resting room\'s instruments confirmed that Li Yuan\'s body had no major problems.
All indicators were normal.
Thinking of this, Xu Bo left the resting room, gently closing the door, and softly spoke, "Black Dog, I need to review the footage from Martial Arts Room 4011, requesting video access."
Each independent martial arts room, except for the resting room, is monitored.
But ordinary teachers don\'t have access to view them.
After a moment.
"Master, request successful. You can view the video from the past seven days," the auxiliary intelligent voice sounded.
Buzz~
Xu Bo\'s intelligent wristband projected a light screen, displaying the scene inside the martial arts room.
"Play the scene from two hours ago," Xu Bo ordered.
The scene on the screen changed immediately, showing Li Yuan practicing his spear in the martial arts room.
With just one look.
"This spear technique?" Xu Bo\'s eyes revealed a hint of amazement. He could clearly see the impressive improvement in Li Yuan\'s spear technique compared to before.
Time passed.
Fast forward! Fast forward! Xu Bo kept watching, finally stopping at the most critical moment.
"Fourth-level spear technique!" Xu Bo\'s eyes widened, full of shock.
"Seventeen and a half years old, fourth-level spear technique?"
Xu Bo knew that with Li Yuan\'s progress speed, he would eventually break through to the fourth-level spear technique.
But he never expected Li Yuan to break through so quickly.
"The special training list is secured," Xu Bo grinned.
Then, his peripheral vision caught the slightly ajar door, and his smile faded.
"Sigh."
...
After eight in the evening.
Li Yuan slowly woke up from his deep sleep, feeling a splitting headache and extreme fatigue.
"Am I on a bed?" Li Yuan noticed the thin blanket covering him.
The light suddenly turned on, and the door opened, the bright light was dazzling.
Li Yuan instinctively shielded his eyes.
"Awake?" A pleasant voice sounded. A girl in a red clouds martial arts uniform stood at the door, holding a few boxes of nutritional meals.
"Lin Lanyue?" Li Yuan recognized the voice.
"I just reheated the nutritional meals. They\'re on the table. Get up and eat," Lin Lanyue said, "I\'ll call Teacher Xu over."
Putting down the items, Lin Lanyue turned and left.
Li Yuan sat up, quickly regaining his senses, his headache easing quickly, "Did I collapse while practicing the spear?"
After washing up.
Li Yuan walked out of the resting room and approached the table where four boxes of nutritional meals were laid out.
He was starving and didn\'t want to think much, so he started eating voraciously.
"Finally awake? Seems like you have a good appetite," Xu Bo\'s voice came from the door.
"Teacher," Li Yuan put down his chopsticks and tried to stand up.
"Don\'t get up, just sit and eat," Xu Bo smiled, "The first time using the fourth-level spear technique, the massive energy consumption at once, you must be hungry."
"Teacher knows I reached the fourth level?" Li Yuan was slightly surprised.
Xu Bo smiled but didn\'t explain.
"Where\'s Lin Lanyue?" Li Yuan instinctively looked towards the door.
"I sent her back to practice," Xu Bo said, "She was kind enough to buy you meals around six, worried you wouldn\'t have enough, so she bought four boxes."
Li Yuan felt a warm sensation in his heart and couldn\'t help but ask, "Did she find me unconscious?"
"It was Zhou Qi and Li Tianyou who found you," Xu Bo said, "Then Lin Lanyue happened to be around and called me."
Li Yuan nodded and continued to eat voraciously.
He was indeed very hungry.
"You overdid it with the spear practice, then suddenly broke through, and your body couldn\'t handle the energy consumption, so you passed out," Xu Bo stood beside him, "Don\'t worry, you\'ll get used to it as your body adjusts."
As he ate, Li Yuan asked, "Teacher, does breaking through to the fourth level always cause this?"
"Usually not," Xu Bo said, "Most martial artists break through to the fourth level at around level 15, when their bodies are strong enough."
"Your body is too weak."
"The integration of body, mind, and weapon, combined with your mental strength being much stronger than your body, caused a massive energy drain, leading to this," Xu Bo explained.
Li Yuan understood.
He devoured another meal box like a whirlwind, still not feeling full.
At this point, Li Yuan felt he could eat an entire cow.
"Li Yuan, your uncle is at Base No. 3, right?" Xu Bo suddenly asked.
Li Yuan was stunned, then asked excitedly, "Teacher, is there news?"
"Base No. 3 has not fallen yet," Xu Bo said solemnly.
