Breakthrough to the Earth Aperture Stage!

Chen Lie's team was named 136th Squad by the head instructor according to the order.

Because the first batch of new students from the other planets, including those from the South, West, and Northern Star Region, have already completed their enrollment process, and the planets of the Ten-Star Alliance even reported for duty earlier than the planets from the ordinary Central Star Region and the Four-Sided Star Domain.

This means that there are 135 teams ahead of Chen Lie's team, with a total of at least 70,000 people.

Before long, all the members of Team 136 had their names recorded by Zhou Yixi. This team had a total of 630 people.

"Alright, everyone has recorded their names. Today I'll take you to see the Wasteland and then let you familiarize yourselves with the various martial arts environments at Starry Sky University."

Come with me to the space jump point.

After Zhou Yixi finished speaking, she led the group of students to the space jump point on the Earth First Campus.

Chen Lie was at the front of the group. Not long after leaving the assembly area, he saw many stone pillars in the distance with the words "Space Jump Station" written on them.

"I never expected that Canglong Star would possess interstellar space jump technology. It seems that Canglong Star is not only ahead in martial arts, but also Yaoyao in technology."

Chen Lie pondered for a moment, no wonder Canglong Star's overall martial arts strength ranked only third in the Canglan Star Domain, yet it could become the central hub of the Canglan Star Domain.

In terms of influence, compared to Canglong Star, Tianming Star and Blood God Planet all have to take a backseat.

Canglong Star is a planet that combines martial arts civilization and technological civilization. Such planets are the most sought-after in interstellar space. With such a large influence, the currency printed by Canglong Star should be a hard currency throughout the Canglan Star Domain. It can use currency to harvest martial arts resources throughout the entire star region. Although Blood God Planet and Tianming Star have stronger martial arts, they will probably still be harvested by Canglong Star. With this ebb and flow, Canglong Star's martial arts strength will sooner or later reach the top of the entire star region.

With such advanced technology, Canglong Star must have an excellent mechanism for cultivating scientific and technological talents, and these talents must hold a superior status. Otherwise, Canglong Star's technology would not be so advanced.

"Students, this is the Space Jump Station. 200 years ago, the scientific and technological talents of Canglong Star researched and developed the Space Wormhole and mastered the Space Wormhole technology. With the help of the wormhole and the calculation of the Superbrain, we can perform short-range space jumps within the Canglan Star Domain."

Now follow me into the wormhole-covered area, and we'll head to the Wasteland immediately!

After entering the space jump point, Zhou Yixi immediately gathered the team of 630 people and entered the space jump area covered by the wormhole.

The space jump area is a platform tens of meters high. After entering the space jump area, Chen Lie looked up from the crowd and immediately saw a circle of black, bottomless holes in the sky. This was the Space Wormhole.

"This is the Space Wormhole of Canglong Star? It can instantly jump to any place, it's amazing!" a freshman exclaimed in surprise.

"Space jump is about to begin, everyone stay in position!"

As soon as Zhou Yixi finished speaking, the Superbrain at the spatial jump point sounded.

"Space jump in progress, target: Canglong Star - Wasteland."

Suddenly, the wormhole descended from above and swallowed the platform.

Chen Lie felt a sudden dizziness, and the next second, he found himself standing on a platform in a boundless Wasteland.

Looking up, Chen Lie saw a white Space Wormhole in the sky.

Before anyone could react, Zhou Yixi's voice rang out.

"Students, we've arrived. This is the Wasteland. You can see the Wild Beast within from the Wasteland."

The group of new students were shocked when they saw the Wild Beast.

Standing on a high platform, they looked down and saw countless Wild Beast swarming across the boundless Wasteland. These Wild Beast were enormous, and they occupied almost the entire ground and sky.

"My God, how come there are so many Wild Beast?"

"I never imagined that Canglong Star would have a place like this. Looking around, there are at least a million Wild Beast."

"I don't support it. I think I saw a giant butterfly over a hundred meters long in the sky. Could that be Grandmaster- level Wild Beast?"

"Can you really survive hunting Wild Beast here?"

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Han Keke approached Chen Lie and said, "Big brother, this place seems to be the Kunlun Mountain Range in the Northwest of our Blue Star. The density of Wild Beast here is about the same as that of the exotic Exotic Beast on Blue Star, except that the level of the Wild Beast here seems to be higher than that on our Blue Star."

"Yes, I just saw a giant beast that was almost two hundred meters tall. Its size was as big as a small mountain. It should be at the ninth level, right?" Ji Lingxuan said.

"This place is indeed similar to the Northwest of Blue Star, but Canglong Star should be fully capable of eliminating these Wild Beast. The reason for leaving them Wild Beast is likely because Wild Beast are useful to Canglong Star."

"Blue Star is now plagued by beasts," Chen Lie said.

The beautiful mentor, Zhou Yixi, said, "Don't worry, everyone. This is a relatively central part of the Wasteland, so the density of Wild Beast is high and Wild Beast levels are also very strong. When you hunt Wild Beast on the edge of the Wasteland, you generally won't encounter Wild Beast of level three or higher."

After hearing their mentor's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Zhou Yixi led everyone to a building behind the high platform.

Inside the building, there is a huge holographic projection.

"As you can see, this is a geographical map of the Wasteland. The so-called Wasteland is a continent with an area of over 70 million square kilometers. We are currently in the central part of the continent, while you are hunting Wild Beast on the edge."

There is an inland sea on the edge of the Wasteland Continent. You must never hunt Wild Beast in that area, because there are many sea Wild Beast there, and a powerful sea Wild Beast has the ability to overturn rivers and seas."

Zhou Yixi explained the terrain map of the Wasteland to everyone.

Chen Lie finally understood: Canglong Star had kept all the Wild Beast on a continent, including the nearby ocean, which served as Wild Beast breeding grounds.

"Professor Zhou, why are there so many Wild Beast on Canglong Star?" a student asked.

Zhou Yixi said, "These are Wild Beast that can be considered Wild Beast raised by Canglong Star. Wild Beast were brought from outer regions by martial arts experts of Canglong Star using wormholes. Not only Canglong Star, but each of the other planets in the Ten-Star Alliance also has a huge Wild Beast breeding ground."

These Wild Beast are beneficial to the cultivation of Blood-Qi Martial Way. The Wild Beast and blood, as well as the Beast Core, of these wild beasts are highly nourishing for Qi and Blood Martial Arts Martial Artist. Without a large supply of Wild Beast flesh and blood, it would be difficult to support the development of Blood-Qi Martial Way on a planet.

"How could Spirit Medicine and Martial Dao Rare Treasure alone support the qi and blood enhancement of over 10 billion young men and women on Canglong Star?"

"I see!" The freshmen understood instantly upon hearing the reply.

"In fact, many planets in the Central Star Region also raise Exotic Beast and Wild Beast to supply the bloodline Martial Artist of their planet, but their scale is far smaller than that of the Ten-Star Alliance," Zhou Yixi said.

The group carefully examined the map of the Wasteland Continent.

"Furthermore, there is one more thing I want to tell you."

There's a leaderboard for earning Credit by hunting Wild Beast.

Each year, the top 100 students who earn the most Credit by hunting Wild Beast within a month will be awarded a spot in the Void Heaven Pagoda by Starry Sky University.

The top 500 will be awarded a Starry Sky University spot for Ancient Star Exploration.

Many of you must yearn to enter the Void Heaven Pagoda and reach higher realms, so do your best to hunt Wild Beast and compete for this spot."

As she spoke, mentor Zhou Yixi announced a list to the many new students.

"This list shows the top 100 students at Starry Sky University who earned the most Credit from hunting Wild Beast this year. Take a look at their scores, and then think about whether you have a chance to make it into the top 100. If you think you have a chance, then you can work harder!"

What was originally a holographic projection screen of the Wasteland Continent map suddenly transformed into a list.

Ranking of monthly Credit of Wild Beast in the Galactic Calendar 7366.

First Place: Gu Tianji (Credit: 12,865,000)

Second place: Shen Jiuxi (Credit: 8860900)

Third place: Hua Yunduan (Credit: 8,698,800)

Fourth place: Huangfu Lingge (Credit: 7369520)

Fifth place: Jun Wudao (Credit: 6806300)

Sixth place: Wenren Qingyue (Credit: 6008015)

7th place: Gu Changhe (Credit: 5,180,000)

The scores displayed on the leaderboard left the freshmen speechless.

"Am I seeing things? The first place is ten million Credit?"

"That's right, ten million Credit. In just one month, you can earn ten million Credit simply by hunting Wild Beast?"

"How can I not understand this? Ten million Credit. Even if he only hunts Tier 3 Desolate Beast, in thirty days, he would have to hunt at least three hundred Wild Beast every day. How is that possible?"

Zhou Yixi explained, "Classmates, you don't need to be confused. Gu Tianji, who ranked first, is a renowned genius on Canglong Star. He has broken through to the Divine Aperture Stage in martial arts."

Furthermore, his Mental Power created Sea of Consciousness with a value exceeding 100 million, and he cultivated himself into a Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit, ranking among the top ten on the Canglan Star Domain Consciousness Spirit Ranking. This is precisely the nemesis of the Wild Beast.

With martial arts combined with Mental Power, killing a Tier 3 Desolate Beast would be a piece of cake for him. Even with those twelve million Credit a month, he might not have truly exerted his full strength."

After Zhou Yixi said this, everyone fell silent.

The Divine Aperture Stage and the top ten Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit in the Canglan Star Domain —these two combined make them the top geniuses in the Star Region, and they cannot be judged by ordinary standards.

"These people with millions of Credit are probably all geniuses who have awakened their Divine Aperture."

The freshmen whispered among themselves.

Speaking of Ancient Star Exploration Voucher, Chen Lie remembered that he had won one in the Genius Hundred-Match Streak Ancient Star Exploration Voucher in the Sumeru Illusion Realm, but he didn't know where to collect it.

Chen Lie glanced at the Credit on the light screen list. The top 100 Credit totaled over 800,000, and the top 500 Credit totaled over 300,000.

However, he no longer needs to be among the top 100 to compete for a spot in the Void Heaven Pagoda, nor does he need to be among the top 500 to compete for a spot in the Ancient Star Exploration.

But Chen Lie asked, "Professor, I'd like to ask, you just said that one Credit can be converted into one Galactic Coin. Can these Credit be converted into Galactic Coin?"

Zhou Yixi glanced at Chen Lie and said, "Starry Sky University only allows the exchange of Galactic Coin for Credit, but does not allow the exchange of Credit for Galactic Coin."

Of course, if you have enough Credit, you can trade them with other students. Starry Sky University has institutions like the Transmission Pavilion and the Divine Armory. Techniques, martial arts, skills, and weapons can only be purchased with Credit, and there are quite a few students who need Credit.

Starry Sky University does not prohibit private transactions between students. Once you complete this round of elimination tasks, the functions of transferring new cards and receiving Credit will be enabled.

Excess Credit can be easily sold, but the ratio of Credit to Galactic Coin is definitely not 1:1. You can inquire about the exact ratio privately, but it shouldn't exceed 2:1.

"Oh, so that means if I can also earn ten million Credit by hunting Wild Beast, can I sell those Credit and exchange them for five million Star-Origin Galactic Coins?" Chen Lie asked.

If that's the case, he will never lack money again.

Zhou Yixi smiled and said, "This student shouldn't be too unrealistic. If you want to earn ten million Credit by hunting Wild Beast, how many Wild Beast would you have to hunt if they were first or second-tier Wild Beast?"

Furthermore, Starry Sky University also has regulations that each student can only earn a maximum of 200,000 Credit per month by hunting Wild Beast. For students in their second year and beyond, this is halved, with a monthly limit of 100,000 Credit for hunting Wild Beast.

The ten million or millions of points on the Credit Rankings represent those geniuses participating in an officially organized competition. Although they may earn millions or even tens of millions of Credit by hunting Wild Beast in a single month, that's just the competition result. The actual Credit they receive are only about two hundred thousand.

"Oh, I didn't know there was such a rule!"

If the monthly limit is only 200,000 Credit, then there's no point in striving for it, as there's no profit to be made.

"Even so... if you can shine in this round of elimination, there will still be hidden benefits; the mentors will definitely value you more," Zhou Yixi said.

Chen Lie nodded and said nothing more.

"Did you hear that? This guy's dreaming of ten million Credit!"

"That's too much to say. One hundred million Credit is equivalent to one hundred thousand Tier 2 Desolate Beast. Even if he worked himself to death, could he possibly hunt them all?"

"Does he think he's some kind of star-domain level genius like Gu Tianji or Shen Jiuxi? Is he still dreaming?"

Among the Heavy Rain Star, Hou Yutan was also puzzled as to why Chen Lie would ask such a question.

Qiao Xuanxi, standing beside him, looked at the rankings on the screen with longing in her eyes.

After Zhou Yixi led the group of freshmen to explore the Wasteland, they returned to the Starry Sky University's Earth First Campus through Space Wormhole.

After returning, she introduced the Cultivation Room, the Transmission Pavilion, and the lecture hall where the instructors gave lectures at the Earth First Campus to the group of new students.

After familiarizing the students with the surroundings, Zhou Yixi pointed out the Dormitory to them.

"Earth First Campus currently has ample Dormitory, and everyone can freely choose a room to stay in and then bind it with Star Card."

There's something I forgot to tell you: you are all freshmen and are undergoing a three-month elimination process, so using the Space Wormhole to enter the Wasteland is free.

After three months, or after passing the elimination screening, the Space Wormhole will begin collecting Credit.

After explaining these things, Zhou Yixi said, "Meet at the space jump point first thing tomorrow morning," and then left.

"Big brother, shall we go check out the Dormitory?" Han Keke suggested.

Chen Liedao, "The male and female Dormitory at Starry Sky University are in different locations. Let's go back to our respective dormitories."

Thanks to the Communication Bracelet given to him by Hou Yutan, Chen Lie added a contact to the names of Ji Lingxuan and Han Keke before returning to his Dormitory.

Upon arriving at the Dormitory in the Earth First Campus, Chen Lie randomly selected a room and bound his Star Card.

From the moment he arrived on Blue Star until now, he had been carrying the black box containing the bones of the Starry Sky Behemoth. Only after arriving at his Dormitory did he put the box on the ground.

"I used Spirit Medicine to nourish my Spirit Aperture, and my current accumulation is sufficient to break through to the Earth Aperture. Now that I have time tonight, I might as well make the most of it and try to break through to the Earth Aperture Stage one go."

Chen Lie stayed in the Dormitory for a short while before Dormitory and arriving at the Cultivation Room in the Earth First Campus.

After finding a Cultivation Room, Chen Lie sat down cross-legged and began to circulate the energy-opening method of the <Flood Dragon Rebirth Technique>.

He already had enough accumulated experience, and with the powerful foundation of the Small Extreme Realm, even if he were to unleash his full potential later, he could easily break through the Earth Aperture.

After circulating his qi and blood once, Chen Lie began his breakthrough.

As his qi and blood circulated rapidly, Chen Lie heard a loud "boom" and his Earth Aperture opened instantly.

At this moment, Chen Lie's golden blood rainbow light soared into the sky, breaking through the Earth Aperture Stage, and his power was enhanced.

After stabilizing his realm, Chen Lie began to use his divine sense to examine his inner self.

"With my current abilities, breaking through to the Heaven Aperture and the Primordial Aperture is a piece of cake, but breaking through to the Divine Aperture requires the nourishment of Divine Source. How can I obtain this Divine Source?"

Divine Source is a precious treasure that seizes the creation of heaven and earth, and it is generally born on Fixed Star in a special environment.

However, the Divine Source is very peculiar; it cannot leave its birthplace for more than 24 hours. If it leaves its birthplace for more than 24 hours, the divine power it contains will dissipate rapidly, and no vessel can delay it.

Knowing this, Chen Lie did not ask Sheng Yingluo for the Divine Source, because he knew that once the Divine Source came from the Saint Envoy Hall and reached his hands, its divine power would dissipate and it would become an ordinary thing.

"Forget it, if I really can't find the Divine Source, I'll just give up on cultivating the Divine Aperture for now. I only need to open up all four Four Divine Apertures Four Divine Apertures, and when I have the ability in the future, I can rebuild them."

After reaching a high level, it would take several times the effort to rebuild one's martial arts. However, there was no other way; he couldn't let the cultivation of the Divine Aperture delay his progress in martial arts. Even if he waited, he wouldn't have the ability to obtain the Divine Source.

"I wonder how my current strength compares to that of Upper Divine Aperture."

Having broken through the Earth Aperture, Chen Lie's strength advanced by leaps and bounds once again. Logically speaking, his strength should be slightly stronger than that of ordinary Martial Artist have broken through the Lower Divine Aperture.

However, the martial arts cultivated Divine Aperture Stage are either level 4S or 5S. Combining multiple profound martial arts can unleash more than double one's own strength. Since Chen Lie has not cultivated any martial arts, he will naturally suffer a great loss when facing someone in the Divine Aperture Stage.

In his previous life, he had already broken through to the level of Martial Artist when he was still on Blue Star. He had never practiced any martial arts. After arriving in Taia Star Province, since he was already True Qi Martial Artist, he only practiced a few martial arts techniques and had never come into contact with the low-level martial arts techniques practiced by Qi and Blood Martial Artist.

After breaking through the Earth Aperture, Chen Lie returned to his Dormitory and rested for the night.

Early the next morning, Chen Lie once again carried the Starry Sky Behemoth bone on his back and went to the space jump point.

While still on the road, Chen Lie received messages from Han Keke and Ji Lingxuan via his Communication Bracelet.

After replying to the message, Chen Lie arrived at the Space Jump Station shortly afterward.

By this time, the Space Jump Station was already crowded with people, and almost all of the 12 teams that had registered yesterday were there.

Upon seeing Chen Lie, Ji Lingxuan went up to greet him, "Chen Lie, you've arrived?"

Chen Lie hummed in agreement.

"Big brother, it seems that many of our 180 people from Blue Star have been scattered. I just counted, and there are only 17 Blue Star people in our team," Han Keke said as she stepped forward.
