Extraordinary

In the vast refinement pool, only the last three people remained.

The students who had already given up stood outside, watching the refinement pool with strange expressions.

More accurately.

Their strange gazes were fixed on Jiang Ye in the refinement pool.

Zhao Qingli and Lin Yushu were the top students of their respective schools.

It wasn't surprising that they could last this long.

But who was the other handsome-looking guy remaining?

He looked unfamiliar!

Time continued to flow.

Thirty minutes later.

"I'm about to break through," Lin Yushu suddenly opened his eyes, then quickly withdrew from the Starry Sky Refinement pool.

Everyone else was shocked to hear his muttering.

About to break through?

With Lin Yushu's current strength, the breakthrough he spoke of was undoubtedly a breakthrough to the first level!

After leaving the refinement pool, Lin Yushu sat cross-legged nearby and began to refine the Star Energy within his body.

At this moment, only the last man and woman remained in the refinement pool.

Another half an hour passed.

"Shua~"

Zhao Qingli opened her eyes, swept her beautiful gaze over Jiang Ye, and then rose, her fair, long legs stepping out of the refinement pool.

Her Guanyuan acupoint was already full.

There was no need to stay any longer.

Thus, only one person was left in the refinement pool.

"Jiang Ye."

Lin Xuan stared at the youth in the pool, his expression incredibly complex. "This is absolutely cheating!"

On the other side, Wang Ziang also looked somewhat bewildered. "No wonder he was so confident before. It seems he was prepared."

"Did you just pull off a big one without saying a word? You really know how to hide your strength."

Time continued to tick by.

Ten hours.

Fifteen hours.

Eighteen hours.

It was late at night, and most of the people at the scene had already gone home.

However, a small number of people chose to stay and cultivate on the spot.

They all wanted to see how long the youth in the pool could last.

And in the refinement pool.

The starlight around Jiang Ye surged into his body at a rate of thousands of strands per minute.

At this speed.

Even if his absorption rate was only 1%, nearly ten strands of starlight entered his Guanyuan acupoint every minute.

The Guanyuan acupoint was rapidly being filled.

98%.

99%.

100%!

"Buzz!"

The moment the Guanyuan acupoint was filled, an incredibly full sensation spread throughout his body.

Jiang Ye knew that he didn't need to continue absorbing.

"Begin refining."

Jiang Ye circulated the Star Martial Advancement Method, mobilizing the Star Energy in his Guanyuan acupoint, and began to refine it layer by layer.

"Through the circulation route of the advancement method."

"Guide the Star Energy to circulate along a specific route, remove impurities, and then return to the Guanyuan acupoint."

"This process is called 'Star Energy Tempering'."

Soon, the first strand of Star Energy was drawn out from Jiang Ye's Guanyuan acupoint.

began to follow the circulation route, entering the depths of his bone marrow.

Star Energy would permeate his entire body's bones and meridians. The impurities within the Star Energy would then enter his blood circulation and be expelled from his body.

At the same time, the Star Energy itself would also temper his bones and meridians.

This was the process of refinement.

Without a doubt, this process was difficult and slow.

The so-called tempering required delving deep into the body, thus consuming considerable time.

A few minutes later.

"Hoo!"

That wisp of Star Energy quietly dissipated.

"I failed," Jiang Ye lamented inwardly, but he wasn't surprised.

Previously, when he absorbed Star Energy, 99% of it would dissipate.

Now that he was refining Star Energy, it was natural that he couldn't avoid Star Energy dissipating.

"My body seems insensitive to Star Energy," Jiang Ye mused. "Is it because of my talent?"

He had heard before.

Certain geniuses could automatically absorb and refine Star Energy.

They didn't even need a refinement technique to guide it.

Their bodies were highly compatible with Star Energy, and once it entered their bodies, it would automatically integrate with their bones and meridians.

"Dao Bone? Or perhaps a higher level of Extraordinary talent?"

Jiang Ye shook his head. These were all too far from him.

"Continue refining."

Jiang Ye thought to himself, "So what if it dissipates? I'll just absorb it again."

Anyway, he was still in the refinement pool and could absorb Starry Sky Energy without limitation.

Pain?

Having endured for eighteen hours, of course, it was painful.

But this pain was still incomparable to the torture of the second level of the Martial Arts Heavenly Ladder for Jiang Ye.

After all, the torture on the second level became more painful the further one progressed.

Now, Jiang Ye's tolerance for pain had surpassed imagination.

On the suspended platform.

Zhang Jianwu, Cao Feng, Cang Haisong, and others sat cross-legged.

This Starry Sky Refinement had already been ongoing for eighteen hours, so they couldn't just watch the entire time.

They also had to cultivate.

Just then, Cang Haisong suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "He's stopped absorbing Star Energy, why hasn't he come out yet?"

"Does this kid want to stay inside and refine it?"

Hearing this.

Zhang Jianwu and Cao Feng both opened their eyes, their eyelids twitching.

This Jiang Ye was really treating the refinement pool like his own home.

Everyone else couldn't wait to get out after their refinement was complete.

Jiang Ye, on the other hand, wasn't satisfied with just filling his Guan Yuan acupoint and wanted to refine inside.

"It's fine," Zhang Jianwu said with a smile. "Since he doesn't fear pain, let him continue to stay inside. Time is unlimited anyway."

He looked at Jiang Ye below, a glint flashing in his eyes.

"Miss Chen told me before that this kid's Martial Bone Awakening has occurred."

Zhang Jianwu thought to himself, "Now it seems he has indeed displayed something miraculous."

Those with Martial Bone Awakening usually had characteristics that set them apart from ordinary people.

Jiang Ye, with his Primitive Talent, showing such performance also served to confirm Chen Zilu's statement.

"It's just... Martial Bone Awakening with Primitive Talent? I've never heard of that." Zhang Jianwu mused. "However, Miss Chen only mentioned it in passing. Perhaps such things are not uncommon in prosperous areas."

Meanwhile.

Jiang Ye discovered during the refinement process that his efficiency in refining Star Energy far exceeded his imagination.

After the tenth wisp of Star Energy failed to refine.

Jiang Ye finally succeeded.

"Buzz!"

The eleventh strand of Star Energy, after over ten minutes of refining, had its impurities removed and was integrated into his bones and marrow.

Jiang Ye's entire body trembled.

He could clearly feel.

In that instant, deep within his bone marrow, an incredible change seemed to have occurred.

A primal power surged from the depths of his heart.

"I'm so strong."

Jiang Ye clenched his fist, and a faint silver light flashed at his fingertips.

"Extraordinary power?"

Seeing this, Jiang Ye's heart trembled.

Rumor had it that those who broke the shackles of life would develop incredible Extraordinary power within them.

And now, although he hadn't reached that realm yet.

Within his body, a sprout of the Extraordinary was already being born.

The next moment, the refined Starry Sky Energy returned to his Guanyuan acupoint.

"So, this is Starry Sky Energy."

In an instant, Jiang Ye gained much understanding.

Starry Sky Energy came from beyond the starry sky, carrying Extraordinary characteristics, and at this moment, it finally merged with him.

This marked Jiang Ye's official entry into Starry Sky Martial Arts!

Jiang Ye could sense that the refined strand of Star Energy would never dissipate.

It was truly a part of him.

"Strange, my efficiency in absorbing Star Energy is only 1%," Jiang Ye's eyes showed a peculiar look. "Logically, the refining efficiency should be similar."

"But in reality, the refining efficiency reached 10%."

What was the reason?

Jiang Ye pondered for a moment.

He felt it was very likely due to his physique.

The so-called bones and marrow were, in a sense, part of his physique.

Due to his innate talent, his body was indeed insensitive to Star Energy, resulting in very low absorption efficiency.

But during refining, Star Energy needed to integrate into his bones and marrow.

His current physique was already top-grade, so the quality of his bones and marrow naturally increased.

Therefore, as soon as the Star Energy came into contact, it could immediately integrate into his bones and marrow.

These two seemingly contradictory phenomena appeared in Jiang Ye in a very rare combination.

"However, a refining efficiency of one-tenth is still too slow."

"Is there a faster way?" Jiang Ye mused.

He no longer hesitated and took out the exquisite metal bottle gifted to him by Chen Zilu.

"Star Sea Nectar," Jiang Ye's eyes were filled with anticipation.

Bang~ He opened the cap.

A faint, pleasant aroma immediately filled the air.

This small bottle alone could be worth over a million, making it extremely precious.

"I hope it can bring significant results," Jiang Ye tilted his head and took a small sip.

A cool sensation immediately spread throughout his mouth, down his esophagus, into his stomach, and quickly began circulating throughout his body.

Jiang Ye quickly began circulating the advanced cultivation method.

"Huh?!" As soon as he started circulating, Jiang Ye immediately felt the difference.

Under the circulation of the Star Sea Nectar, his entire meridians became incredibly clear and unobstructed.

"Buzz!" A strand of Star Energy followed the cultivation path, coursing through his bones and marrow, permeating his entire body.

Unknowingly, this strand of Star Energy began to take effect.

Continuously refining Jiang Ye's body.

Ten minutes later.

Jiang Ye's body trembled as he felt a strand of Star Energy return to his Guanyuan acupoint along the cultivation path, completely integrating into him.

"Success!" Jiang Ye's pupils contracted.

He looked at the metal bottle in his hand in disbelief.

He had only taken a small sip, and the first refining was already successful?!

Was it good luck, or was the effect of this 'Star Sea Nectar' simply too heaven-defying?

"The value of this Star Sea Nectar is probably far more than a million," Jiang Ye's heart trembled, yet he was also incredibly joyful.

With the help of this Star Sea Nectar, his subsequent refining process would be many times easier!

"Right here in this refining pool, I'll refine all the Star Energy!" Jiang Ye made up his mind.

PS: The plot leading up to the paid chapters will be incredibly exciting and is the key to taking off, so please be patient!
