Energy Perception

Zhou Yi had read many books. Although she hadn't been to other Star Blocks, she knew that even S-class Star Blocks wouldn't have the kind of energy perception she experienced last night.

And this was just a common D-class Star Block.

Fearing it was her imagination, Zhou Yi even practiced the Star Gathering Art again before opening her Star Brain.

Her energy perception was still very high.

The higher the energy perception, the easier cultivation becomes, yielding twice the results with half the effort, and Star Power increases faster.

Zhou Yi left her room and tried cultivating in other places, but the result was the same.

This wasn't scientific.

Zhou Yi's eyes drooped, her long eyelashes casting a small shadow on her eyelids, her usual thinking expression.

If Huadun truly made one's energy perception this high, it would have attracted the attention of the Interstellar Alliance long ago. It wouldn't still be this dilapidated school that couldn't even fill its enrollment quotas and was on the verge of closing.

There must be something different about her cultivation compared to others.

Right! Different, It was the Star Gathering Art!

It was the Star Gathering Art left by the Zhou family!

The Star Gathering Art could improve cultivation quality, essentially meaning energy perception would be stronger when immersed in the Star Gathering Art during cultivation.

But it could only strengthen it a little, never this exaggerated.

Could it be that the effect of the Star Gathering Art was enhanced here?

What Zhou Yi had confirmed was that while cultivating with the Star Gathering Art in Huadun, her energy perception seemed to be very high!

But if that were the case, with such high perception, why were her ancestors so unremarkable?

Even without the talent of a Star Weaver, with poor Star Weaves, such high energy perception should have led to some achievements!

Zhou Yi knew that although her father, Zhou Jiang, had attended Huadun, her grandfather had kept it a secret, so he didn't know about the Star Weaves.

What about other ancestors?

Huadun had been established for hundreds of years; hadn't any other ancestors discovered this?

Zhou Yi immediately called Zhou Jiang again.

This was the third call today, quite frequent indeed.

However, it was the first day their daughter was away from home, so her parents, who were generally carefree, didn't find it strange.

"Your grandfather, great-grandfather, and the like, our ancestors, the worst of them, after awakening, went to study at C-class Star Blocks. After all, the Zhou family still had some foundation back then.

It was only when your grandfather's generation declined and moved to D71 Star Block that I went to Huadun.

I still remember your grandfather's complicated expression when I applied to Huadun...

He must have been very disappointed in his son, for not bringing glory to the Zhou family and revitalizing its prestige, and instead dragging it down."

As a man saying such things to his daughter, it was hard not to feel dejected.

Zhou Jiang wasn't an ambitious person, but admitting his mediocrity to his daughter was quite painful.

"I always heard your grandfather and great-grandfather nagging that our Zhou family couldn't just end like this. I know what they meant, but I'm useless...

Daughter, don't put too much burden on yourself. Star Weaves and all that don't matter. Your dad doesn't have much ability himself; I just hope you can be happy."

After hanging up, Zhou Yi sighed.

She could now understand the feelings of the original owner's grandfather in his letter.

As descendants of Star Weavers, they must have been unwilling to live a mediocre life like ants on the lowest-class Star Block.

You've seen brilliant light, but no matter how hard you try, you can't reach it. What kind of gap and disappointment is that?

After looking up at the stars for too long, your neck stiffens, and it becomes difficult to look at your current life levelly.

Huadun had a long history and a stable ranking among the top hundred schools in the Interstellar Alliance.

It had been in the bottom ten for years, and in recent years, it had even shown a slight downward trend, nearing the absolute bottom.

Very few graduates from the school entered the military each year. After all, talented children wouldn't choose to study at Huadun in the first place; those who came here were basically just wasting time with nowhere else to go.

In such a place, what exactly existed that could enhance energy perception?

The more Zhou Yi thought about it, the more alarmed she became. Perhaps there truly was a great secret here that only she could know.

Whether it was the growth-type Star Weave or the Star Gathering Art, these things that made her different from others were only possessed by her in this small school of Huadun.

If anyone else knew, it wouldn't be this peaceful.

Being able to infinitely enhance energy perception, whether it was regional resources or some treasure, would cause all sorts of factions to fight over it and trigger bloody major events once it became known to the public.

It wasn't yet time for school to start, so Zhou Yi decided to take a stroll around other parts of the Star Block before everyone arrived.

At the school gate, the security guard looked at the girl about to leave with extreme vigilance, staring at Zhou Yi to see if she was trying to run away.

"Um... actually, Huadun is quite good. I heard the principal say that new teachers will be transferring in the new semester, injecting fresh blood. Student, don't be in a hurry to leave, give it another chance?"

Seeing that Zhou Yi's foot was about to step out, the uncle couldn't help himself.

Finding a job is really difficult these days! Especially on a star block as desolate as this.

"Uncle, I'm not leaving, I'm just going out for a stroll. Are there any fun places around here?"

Zhou Yi kindly comforted the startled uncle.

It was also a good opportunity to get some information from this local.

As soon as he heard that the girl wasn't dropping out and leaving, the security uncle's expression immediately relaxed.

"Fun places? None."

"What about famous places?"

"The most famous is Huadun. D72 Star Block's only Battle Relic is also preserved here,"

the security uncle said.

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up instantly. "There's a Battle Relic inside Huadun?"

Many star blocks had suffered invasions from Star Beasts, leaving behind traces of battle. People would preserve these traces intact as motivation for future generations.

You have to understand that Battle Relics cover vast areas. Even when preserved, it's only a small section of valuable and intensely fought-over zones.

Still a long way from Mechs and Star Beasts battling, Zhou Yi was naturally extremely interested in these things. Moreover, there were many things she hadn't figured out yet, and perhaps they were hidden within these relics.

The security uncle casually pointed Zhou Yi in a direction.

"That was an unprecedented battle on D72. It's locked up now, but you'll have a chance to visit it after school starts."

Mentioning that battle, the security uncle wore a rare look of seriousness.

"Thanks, Uncle. I'm still going to go out for a stroll. I'll visit the library properly when I get back."

She couldn't enter that place currently, but Zhou Yi wasn't disappointed. She politely thanked the uncle and prepared to head out to see what the outside was like.

The school library could be visited anytime, but since she was already out today, she wanted to see what the outside world looked like first.
