Comprehending the Crystal Stone Secret Method

Xue Caini was taken aback when she heard Chen Lie's words.

"Are you kidding me, junior? Even an eighth-level Divine Sense Grandmaster on Blue Star can't do this, how could you possibly do it?"

"I was just asking."

Replenishing the Crystal Stone with Mental Power was by no means a difficult task for Chen Lie, given his Mental Power manipulation skills.

If the Crystal Stone material is up to standard, Chen Lie can increase the number of times the Crystal Pillar can be used to hundreds of thousands of times.

"So, junior, you're also a Divine Sense Master?" Xue Caini asked.

Chen Lie nodded and hummed in agreement.

Chi Naixue was somewhat astonished. Chen Lie was actually Divine Sense Master, and his martial arts talent was so good that he had almost no weaknesses.

"If we can add twelve Crystal Pillar inscribed with martial arts secrets to Blue Star University, it will be an immeasurable contribution, and Blue Star University will certainly reward us handsomely."

However, this is something even Divine Sense Grandmaster cannot do, so let's not even think about it."

Xue Caini smiled slightly, "Since you are Divine Sense Master, if your Sea of Consciousness value is over 400,000, or if the Consciousness Spirit you create is a life-type Earth-Grade Consciousness Spirit, you could go to the Mental Power Department to get certified as Dual-Department Student cultivates both martial arts and Mental Power. In this way, you can enjoy double the resources." Chen Lie nodded and said no more.

"Alright, junior students, let's go into the plaza to study the Crystal Pillar."

Xue Caini smiled slightly and walked at the front, leading Chen Lie, Chi Naixue, and Li Xiujing into the square.

As soon as he entered the square, Chen Lie saw twelve Crystal Pillar, each seven or eight meters in diameter and nearly a hundred meters high.

The twelve Crystal Pillar were all dark yellow, Crystal Pillar up in a row, and many students were walking around Crystal Pillar below. "These... what huge Crystal Pillar!" Li Xiujing exclaimed as soon as she entered.

It's over 100 meters high, taller than a skyscraper.

"This is the Outer Stars Crystal Pillar, made of specially crafted Outer Stars Crystal Stone, capable of holding a massive amount of Mental Power."

As Divine Sense Master should know, the abundance of Mental Power contained within Crystal Stone can be discerned by its color, ranging from strong to weak: golden yellow, bright yellow, dark yellow, pale yellow, and transparent—five colors in total.

These twelve Crystal Pillar Crystal Pillar, inscribed with secret martial arts techniques from Outer Stars, were originally golden in color when they were transported from Outer Stars, symbolizing the abundant Mental Power within them.

Over the past two years, as the students in the Genius Class have continued to use it, the Mental Power within the Crystal Pillar has been continuously depleted, changing from golden yellow to bright yellow, and now to dark yellow.

"Once all twelve Crystal Pillar return to their transparent color, it means the spiritual energy within the Crystal Pillar will be completely used up, and it will no longer be possible to comprehend the twelve forms of the <Starry Sky Blood-Condensing Art> to increase Strength Value," Xue Caini said.

"The difference between dark yellow and transparent is only a pale yellow, which means these twelve Crystal Pillar can only last until the next Genius Class students," Chi Naixue said.

"That's right. According to the estimate, the twelve Crystal Pillar can be used more than five thousand more times. Even if Blue Star University tightens the restrictions on using Crystal Pillar to comprehend martial arts secrets, it is impossible to support the Genius Class students of the 7366th year of the Galactic Calendar."

The reason why our Blood-Qi Martial Way have improved significantly in the past two years, resulting in the emergence of some geniuses at the Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi Stage, is largely due to these twelve Crystal Pillar.

Once the Mental Power within the twelve Crystal Pillar is completely depleted, the martial arts of Blue Star will likely regress significantly.

For this reason, many high-ranking members of the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association have been troubled, searching through Outer Stars Mental Power manuals, trying to replenish the energy of the twelve Crystal Pillar whose Mental Power is about to be exhausted, but they have not been able to find a way.

Chen Lie walked forward calmly to a Crystal Pillar, touched it, and at the same time, sent a wisp of his divine sense to probe the interior of the Crystal Pillar.

The moment Chen Lie probed with his divine sense, he saw a massive Mental Power restriction that seemed like an insurmountable chasm.

Behind this massive Mental Power restriction, there are countless other Mental Power shackles, like a dense Iron Net, restricting any external Mental Power.

"No wonder even the Divine Sense Grandmaster of Blue Star couldn't replenish the Mental Power energy of these Crystal Pillar. It turns out that a ninth-level Mental Power Grandmaster from Outer Stars left a hidden trick on these Crystal Pillar, allowing Blue Star to use them only 20,000 times to comprehend martial arts secrets."

Chen Lie murmured, and his Mental Power probed into it once more.

In an instant, he made another discovery.

"There's actually a hidden trick behind this Mental Power restriction!"

He shook his head and discovered that deep within the Crystal Pillar lay a cluster of destructive Mental Power, forming a self-destruct mechanism. If any external force or brute force broke through this Mental Power barrier, the latent self-destruct mechanism would be triggered immediately, and the Crystal Pillar would be instantly destroyed by this cluster of destructive Mental Power.

"In this way, even if we were to get an alien Mental Power Grandmaster to break through this Mental Power restriction, all we would hear would be an explosion."

It seems that Outer Stars maintain a fairly strict blockade on Martial Arts Knowledge against a planet like Blue Star, which is at a low level of martial arts civilization.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Lie thought to himself, "Blue Star is definitely helpless against the hidden tricks left behind by the Outer Stars Mental Power Grandmaster. Even if Divine Sense Grandmaster on Blue Star suddenly breaks through to the ninth-level Grandmaster Divine Sense, it will be of no use."

However, this level of difficulty was no challenge for Chen Lie.

His Mental Power techniques are extraordinary. In his previous life, he listened to tens of thousands of Mental Power lectures from renowned Mental Power masters at the Taia Star Province Martial Arts Academy in the Central Galactic Empire, which allowed him to rival the geniuses of the Central Galactic Empire in his understanding of Mental Power.

A restriction imposed by a ninth-level Mental Power Grandmaster from the Canglan Star Domain would certainly not be a problem for him.

If there's an opportunity in the future, we can discuss with the higher-ups of the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association to see what kind of reward we could give for replenishing the Mental Power of these twelve Crystal Pillar.

"Hey, what's wrong with you, student?"

When did you arrive at the Crystal Pillar? Didn't I see your name when you registered?

The sign next to the square reads, "Does one have to register in advance to use the Crystal Pillar? How come they just went to use the Crystal Pillar without even asking?"

At that moment, a guard in his forties suddenly came out.

"I did not use the Mental Power within the Crystal Pillar to comprehend it," Chen Liedao.

"Comprehending the martial arts secrets within the Crystal Pillar takes only a little over ten minutes at most. Who knows if you've already comprehended them?" the guard said.

At this moment, Xue Caini quickly walked up and said, "Excuse me, this is a freshman in our First Genius Class. He just arrived today and doesn't quite understand the rules yet. But since he just arrived, he definitely hasn't touched the Crystal Pillar."

The guard nodded. "Come and register your name. Remember to explain the rules to the new students before they come here to study the martial arts secrets of the Crystal Pillar."

"I'm so sorry, I'll remember that."

After Xue Caini finished speaking, she had Chen Lie, Chi Naixue, and Li Xiujing register their names at the guard post and each of them pay 100 points. After completing these procedures, Xue Caini led the group to the first Crystal Pillar.

"This is the Crystal Pillar for comprehending the first form of the <Starry Sky Blood-Condensing Art>. Each person has three opportunities to participate in each pillar. You just spent one hundred Credit. If you want to participate again next time, you will need one thousand Credit."

However, the Crystal Pillar containing the first move of the martial arts secret technique is not difficult to comprehend. Generally, anyone who has detected the talent of fifteen Crystal Stone can successfully participate on their first try.

However, you must remember that if you fail to participate in the previous Crystal Pillar Crystal Pillar try to comprehend the next one, the difficulty of comprehension will increase exponentially.

Even if you comprehend it sequentially, the difficulty of each move after the ninth Crystal Pillar will double.

The first three Crystal Pillar are the simplest; with your talent, you should be able to comprehend them successfully in just one attempt.

Because the number of times you can comprehend the Crystal Pillar is limited, Blue Star University encourages you to conserve your comprehending opportunities. Please be attentive when you comprehend and try not to use your second chance.

You've all used Psionic Crystal Card, right? The Crystal Pillar works the same way as the Psionic Crystal Card Psionic Crystal Card card, but it's much more powerful. Now you can go and study it; I'll be waiting for you here."

Xue Caini smiled and nodded to the three of them.

Chi Naixue looked at Chen Lie first and said softly, "Chen Lie, you go first."

Chen Lie walked directly to the Crystal Pillar. The Crystal Pillar was seven or eight meters in diameter and could accommodate a dozen or twenty people at the same time. As long as one calmed their mind and focused their spirit, they could touch it with their hands to comprehend its meaning.

The Crystal Pillar containing the first form of the <Starry Sky Blood-Condensing Art> was empty, but from the sixth Crystal Pillar onwards, more people appeared. "Is this Chi Naixue? I'm Li Xiujing from the second- Key Class, from Nanjiang Province. Do you know this Chen Lie?" At this moment, Li Xiujing, one of the three, asked Chi Naixue.

Chi Naixue nodded slightly. "We are all from the 15th Key Class, and we all came to Blue Star University from Xiangguang Province."

"Oh? You're from the same hometown? Xiangguang Province seem to be ranked 12th in the Blue Star Martial Arts Index. Chen Lie's comprehension aptitude test is at the maximum level. As far as I know, such talent is extremely rare among all the students in the Genius Class. I always thought that Chen Lie was from the fourth Lingnan Province or the fifth Dongzhe Province."

The competition in your Xiangguang Province this year is a bit outrageous, isn't it? Even those with the highest level of qualifications can't directly enter the Genius Class at Blue Star University; they have to go through the Key Class first.

"Next year, your Xiangguang Province will definitely be ranked among Blue Star top ten martial arts provinces on Earth."

Chi Naixue explained, "You misunderstood. Chen Lie is a transfer student from another province. He just used the Xiangguang Province's channels to get into Blue Star University. He's not from the same hometown as me."

Li Xiujing suddenly realized, "Ah, no wonder. It seems that Chen Lie must be from Lingnan Province or Dongzhe Province." Chi Naixue didn't say anything more; naturally, she wouldn't reveal Chen Lie's background.

Region-Level Genius, whose prestige is comparable to the martial Martial Leader of the top ten provinces on Blue Star, and the Martial Leader of the top ten provinces on Blue Star are all in the Super Genius Class. "Student Chi, I think that student Chen Lie is taciturn and probably not easy to get along with."

"You two went to Blue Star University together, so you must have a good relationship, right? Could you perhaps use your connections to get in touch? The three of us could form a team and hunt Illusion Beast in the Sumeru Illusion Realm, and also hunt Exotic Beast on the Northwest Frontline," Li Xiujing suggested.

Chi Naixue's expression stiffened, and she managed to say, "We'll see!"

Li Xiujing was completely bewildered by Chi Naixue's strange reaction.

Did she say something wrong? Why does it feel like the other person has suddenly turned hostile?

Like Chen Lie, Chi Naixue and Li Xiujing arrived at the first Crystal Pillar, reached out to touch it, and began to calmly comprehend the first move of the martial arts secret technique.

After Chen Lie began to comprehend it, a figure practicing martial arts was immediately projected into his spiritual world.

Immediately afterwards, the figure began practicing the martial arts secrets from Chen Lie's first-person perspective.

Chen Lie immediately realized that this so-called <Starry Sky Blood-Condensing Art> was only barely equivalent to a third-rate technique within Taia Star Province, and even inferior in some aspects. This kind of technique was not even worthy of being included in the Scripture Library of the Taia Star Province Martial Arts Academy. Compared with the <Flood Dragon Rebirth Technique> that Chen Lie cultivated, it was like heaven and earth.

This <Starry Sky Blood-Condensing Art> can only increase a person's Strength Value by a maximum of eight times. If someone who already has eight times the Strength Value tries to cultivate the <Starry Sky Blood-Condensing Art>, even if they complete all twelve forms, they can only increase their Strength Value by a maximum of 0.5 times. For someone with Strength Value of eight times or more, it's practically useless. For someone like Chen Lie, who already has 13 times the Strength Value, it's completely pointless.

Soon, in Chen Lie's spiritual world, he learned the first move of the <Starry Sky Blood-Condensing Art> ten times from a first-person perspective.

The time allotted for comprehending the Crystal Pillar passed quickly, and Chen Lie, with his martial arts insights as Ninth-Order Grandmaster, had only grasped a superficial understanding. "This damn technique is actually quite difficult."

The top martial arts secrets of the Central Galactic Empire have all been improved again and again by martial arts predecessors. What was improved was not the power of the techniques, but the difficulty of cultivating them, such as the <Flood Dragon Rebirth Technique>.

The reason why this top-level martial arts technique cannot be popularized and can only be practiced by a small group of people is that the Central Galactic Empire has trillions of humans and countless geniuses. If every genius could cultivate this extremely resource-intensive martial arts technique, then even if the Central Galactic Empire had a vast amount of martial arts resources, they would be consumed at an alarming rate.

Resources are plentiful, but the population is even greater; even a powerful empire like the Central Galactic Empire cannot support the needs of a trillion people.

Therefore, only the most outstanding martial arts geniuses are qualified to cultivate top-level techniques, so that resources can be used to their fullest potential and a balance can be maintained.

At this moment, Chi Naixue and Li Xiujing also stopped cultivating, both with expressions of astonishment on their faces.

"It really is a martial arts secret technique from Outer Stars; it's truly wondrous."

Li Xiujing asked, "Chi, have you successfully grasped the essence?"

Chi Naixue nodded slightly.

Then, the two of them looked at Chen Lie at the same time.

Chen Lie possesses maxed-out aptitude; even they successfully comprehended it, so there's no way Chen Lie could fail.

"Chen Lie, how's your comprehension going? Have you succeeded?"

Chen Lie, thinking it best to avoid trouble, nodded and said, "It's a success."
