King-grade Martial Art, Breaking Through to the Spirit Stream Realm!

"Phew, phew, phew..."

Even while carrying his luggage bag, Ye Fan ran faster and faster.

He felt the vitality throughout his body begin to boil, like a fierce dragon crossing a river, like a Kunpeng bursting from the water—free at last, with nothing to restrain him!

"Beep, beep, beep..."

Suddenly, the Martial Artist Watch on Ye Fan's wrist sounded an alert.

Ye Fan glanced at it, and his pupils abruptly contracted!

Vitality Value: 50... 55... 65... 80... 100...

It was skyrocketing wildly!

Beep! Beep!

At that moment, the Vitality Value displayed on his Martial Artist Watch had actually reached one hundred cards.

The entire watch face had turned red!

"Holy shit, the Spirit Stream Realm!"

Ye Fan could not help blurting out a curse.

One had to know that one hundred cards was the vitality limit measurable by his basic Martial Artist Watch.

That did not mean it was the limit of his Vitality Value!

With spiritual energy reviving, ferocious beasts ran rampant within, while other races invaded from beyond.

To protect the flame of civilization, the Human Race had set off a frenzy of evolution.

The realms were mainly divided into: Initiate Martial Warrior, Spirit Stream Realm, Star River Realm, Mountain Sea Realm, Azure Vault Realm...

And Ye Fan, who had just successfully received the Nine-Star Hegemonic Body, had directly broken through from an Initiate Martial Warrior into the Spirit Stream Realm!

"The Nine-Star Hegemonic Body is so fierce! So overbearing!"

Ye Fan was beside himself with excitement. He even jumped, soaring more than three meters into the air in a single leap.

His physical qualities had undergone an enormous leap forward!

Jiangnan Martial University check-in successful. Reward: 12 Enlightenment Points (2 check-in points + 10 Enlightenment Points for the first check-in reward).

Note: The higher the grade of martial art being comprehended, the more Enlightenment Points it consumes.

Vitality Value has broken through to the Spirit Stream Realm. King-grade Martial Art awakened—Overlord King Fist.

Name: Ye Fan.

Vitality Value: 125 (Spirit Stream Realm).

Mental Power: 10.

Willpower: 20.

Martial Arts Mastery: Fist Technique Tier 1 (5%), Spear Technique Tier 1 (50%).

Detection function activated. The host may detect any target. Current detection limit: Peak Spirit Stream Realm Tier 9—Vitality Value 1,999 cards.

One message after another flashed across the illusory panel before Ye Fan's eyes.

They sent Ye Fan into ecstasy.

Especially that one:

A King-grade Martial Art?!

One had to know that Blue Star's current unified martial art standard divided them into six grades: Common, Spirit, General, King, Emperor, and Sovereign. Each grade was further divided into low, middle, and high ranks.

And a King-grade Martial Art was absolutely considered a top-tier martial art even at Jiangnan Martial University.

After all, King-grade Martial Arts were sufficient for Mountain Sea Realm experts to cultivate.

Yet now, he had only just stepped into the Spirit Stream Realm.

"System, add 10 points to the Overlord King Fist!"

Ye Fan decided to test the enhancement effect Enlightenment Points had on a King-grade Martial Art.

In an instant, Ye Fan felt as though the King-grade Martial Art—Overlord King Fist—which he had only just familiarized himself with once and found incomparably obscure, had suddenly become clear.

It was as though someone had poured enlightenment directly into his head.

Then, on a corridor in Linjiang Park, Ye Fan seemed to enter a peculiar Conception.

He began to slowly practice the fist technique.

"Overlord King Fist, driven by the Nine-Star Hegemonic Body. The fist emerges like a dragon, destroying heaven and earth, sweeping aside all enemies..."

The core principles of the Overlord King Fist echoed endlessly in Ye Fan's mind.

"First stance: Territory Opening and Earth Splitting!"

Forceful, overbearing, crushing...

And now, paired with Ye Fan's imposing height of nearly one meter ninety, he truly moved like a tiger riding the wind, brimming with oppressive force!

Fist Technique Mastery increased to Tier 1 (10%).

Fist Technique Mastery increased to Tier 1 (30%)...

A string of notifications flashed by, but Ye Fan was completely immersed in his enlightenment of the fist technique.

His Martial Arts Mastery in fist techniques rose rapidly as well.

"Sir, you seem to have something troubling you."

Inside a specially made vehicle, the driver spoke to the lean man in the back seat, who was rubbing his temples.

"Mm."

The man in the back merely responded, clearly having no interest in elaborating.

Seeing this,

the driver wisely shut his mouth and did not ask further.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, the lean man casually glanced outside and spotted Ye Fan practicing his fists by the river.

A gentle breeze stirred, while the water remained calm.

In the faint light, a tall Youth breathed in and out, practicing with focus.

Every stance and movement was slow and steady, yet seemed immensely forceful.

"This fist technique... it seems to contain a fierce and domineering essence! And this... how is this possible? This boy's fist technique mastery is actually rising rapidly!"

"Stop!"

Screech!

The moment the Flying Device stopped, its cabin door opened.

The lean man moved like a bolt of black lightning. Within a few breaths, he had arrived near Ye Fan.

However, he did not disturb Ye Fan, who was practicing his fists.

He merely watched in silence, but the longer he watched, the more shocked he became.

Because Ye Fan went from initial clumsiness, to growing smoothness, to flawless perfection in the end.

"This Youth looks only seventeen or eighteen, yet he has raised his fist technique mastery to Peak Tier 1!"

"Moreover, this fist technique is so fierce and overbearing. It has definitely surpassed a Spirit Tier Martial Art!"

"Most astonishing of all, this boy seems to have entered a state of enlightenment.

Heavens! To Martial Warriors, this is simply something that can only be encountered by chance, never sought after!"

"And his physique seems somewhat special as well..."

From initial surprise, to growing shock, to utter disbelief in the end.

Expressions rapidly changed across the lean man's chiseled profile.

"Phew."

After finishing his practice, Ye Fan felt the surging vitality in his body. He felt as though one punch was enough to split steles and shatter rocks, sweeping through all directions.

His heroic spirit immediately soared, and the stifling frustration from before was swept away!

This feeling was simply incredible.

In less than a day, his strength had increased severalfold!

His strength had surged explosively!

So what if he had not awakened spirituality?

Ye Fan was confident:

The current him could absolutely beat up ordinary low-level Spirit Stream Realm Martial Warriors.

Naturally, that included those who had awakened spirituality.

"Clap, clap, clap..."

Just then,

the sound of applause rang out, startling Ye Fan.

Because he had not noticed the lean man standing beneath the tree at all.

Suddenly,

a virtual panel that only he could see appeared before Ye Fan's eyes:

Wu Xie: Spirit Stream Realm Tier 8. Vitality Value: 1,540 cards.

So strong.

Ye Fan's pupils contracted.

"Hehe, little brother, there's no need to be nervous. I'm Instructor Wu Xie from the Star Martial Hall Linjiang City Branch. Are you interested in going to the Star Martial Pavilion tomorrow for a test?"

"If your performance is outstanding enough, you may be able to obtain a Cultivation Contract from our Star Martial Hall."

Instructor Wu Xie took the initiative to extend an olive branch.

At his words,

although Ye Fan did not show much reaction on the surface,

a towering wave had already risen in his heart.

Star Martial Hall, Candle Flame Martial Hall, Thunderclap Martial Hall.

They were known as the three strongest Martial Halls on Blue Star, and even in the starry sky.

If one caught their eye, one would receive a great many cultivation resources.

They could rapidly help Martial Warriors increase their strength and rise to prominence!

"Don't worry. Even the lowest E-Grade Contract comes with a monthly cultivation subsidy of fifty thousand Huaxia Coins."

Instructor Wu Xie said with a smile.

Fifty thousand a month?

That meant six hundred thousand a year.

Even if his parents worked themselves to the bone, their combined monthly income did not reach twenty thousand.

In other words, if he obtained an E-Grade Cultivation Contract from a Martial Hall, his yearly income alone would be three times his parents' combined income.

Sure enough, in this high-martial world, strength was the true hard currency!

"Alright, Instructor Wu. Tomorrow, I will definitely go to the Star Martial Hall to take the test."

Ye Fan nodded.

"Good. I'll be waiting for you."

Wu Xie smiled faintly and nodded, then turned and left.

New check-in location refreshed—Star Martial Hall Linjiang City Branch. Reward: Enlightenment Points ×3.

"Then this Star Martial Hall is somewhere I must go."

Ye Fan had barely muttered that when he suddenly raised his wristwatch and saw more than ten missed calls. His brows immediately furrowed, and a bad feeling rose within him.
