The night is as dark as ink and dotted with stars.
The night at the Heavenly Fixed Starry Sky Academy is completely different from the daytime - during the day, only the vague outlines of the strange-shaped buildings remain in the darkness. Only the dome at the top of Main Teaching Building still shines with a faint light, like a bright pearl suspended in the night sky.
Long Yuan led Xu Xiaoyan through the main road of the college and walked towards Main Teaching Building. The campus was very quiet at night. Occasionally, a few students who returned late passed by. When they saw Long Yuan, they quickly bowed their heads and gave way.
After a day of fermentation, many people have gotten to know Long Yuan, the new crown prince.
Xu Xiaoyan followed behind, his heart beating a little fast.
It is worth mentioning that Main Teaching Building does not have facilities such as soul elevators, only a spiral staircase going straight up.
According to the college, it is to train students' physical fitness at all times.
However, from Long Yuan's point of view, the students in this college are all flying Martial Soul, so it seems that there is really no need to install an elevator.
Long Yuan waved his hand casually, and the wind element lifted the two of them and flew upwards.
After landing on the roof, there is a thirty-meter-high domed hall in front of you. There is only one passage in the hall.
Long Yuan walked to the passage first, followed by Xu Xiaoyan.
Go through a corridor and walk into a huge hall.
What's even more surprising is that this is an open-air hall without a dome, facing the sky.
It is surrounded by a thirty-meter-high wall. If you look carefully, you will find that there are many textures and patterns made of rare metals on the wall. If you observe and feel it carefully, you will find that Star Gazing Platform contains huge energy.
Xu Xiaoyan came out, and the sight in front of her stunned her.
There is no obstruction or light pollution in the starry sky above your head, and the stars in the sky seem to be within reach.
The Milky Way stretches across the sky like a flowing silver ribbon.
Xu Xiaoyan raised his head, opened his mouth slightly, and forgot to speak for a moment.
"Does it look good?" Long Yuan's voice came from the side.
Xu Xiaoyan nodded vigorously. "It looks good..."
Long Yuan walked to the center of the platform, squatted down, and lightly traced his fingers on the ground. The star map engraved on the platform lit up with a faint blue light under his fingertips, as if it was activated.
"This is Soul Guidance Array of Star Gazing Platform." Long Yuan stood up, "Two thousand years ago, a soul guide Grandmaster carved this magic circle here, which can attract the star power in the starry sky to converge on this platform."
Xu Xiaoyan came back to his senses, walked to Long Yuan, and looked down at the glowing lines.
"Star power... what is it?"
Long Yuan thought for a while and explained in the simplest terms, "There are vitality, elements, and various energies between heaven and earth. Star power is the power from the starry sky. It is pure and vast, but violent and difficult to be absorbed by ordinary people."
He looked at Xu Xiaoyan with serious eyes.
"But your Martial Soul is different. Star Wheel Ice Staff has both ice and astrological attributes. The ice attribute is inherited from your family, and the astrological attribute is a mutation. The two attributes coexist, although they make your Martial Soul stronger, they also restrain each other."
Xu Xiaoyan nodded in understanding.
Long Yuan continued, "When you practice here, the star power will continuously wash away your Martial Soul and strengthen its astrological attributes. If it goes well, the ice attribute may be suppressed or even replaced. At that time, your Martial Soul will mutate from Star Wheel Ice Staff into pure Star Staff."
"Star Staff?" Xu Xiaoyan's eyes lit up.
"Yes." Long Yuan nodded, "There is no ice attribute, only astrological attribute. At that time, your Martial Soul will no longer be restricted by day and night, and can exert its full power anytime and anywhere."
Xu Xiaoyan's breathing became rapid.
She remembered that when she was Eastsea Academy, the effect of practicing at night was much better than during the day. Master said that her Martial Soul was too dependent on the environment. If it could really mutate into Star Staff...
"But." Long Yuan changed the topic, "This process is risky."
Xu Xiaoyan raised his head and looked at him.
"Martial Soul Mutation is not child's play. During the process of star power flushing, you may be in pain and may even fail. If you fail, Martial Soul may be damaged and it will take a long time to recover."
He paused and asked, "Are you afraid?"
Xu Xiaoyan bit his lip and was silent for a few seconds.
Then she raised her head with firm eyes.
"Not afraid."
Long Yuan looked at her, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"Then let's get started."
Long Yuan asked Xu Xiaoyan to sit cross-legged in the center of the platform.
"Close your eyes and release Martial Soul."
Xu Xiaoyan did as he was told. Star Wheel Ice Staff appeared in his hand, and the starlight on the tip of the staff was particularly bright in the night.
Long Yuan walked to the edge of the platform, raised his hand and released a stream of Soul Power. Soul Power injected it, and all the star maps carved around it lit up instantly, and the blue light spread along the lines, covering the entire platform.
"Buzz--" a buzzing sound sounded, and the entire wall around Star Gazing Platform lit up. The magnificent patterns on it seemed to come alive under the halo. The halo rushed into the air together and turned into rays of light. Hundreds of rays of light gathered at one point in the air and turned into a huge light pillar rising into the sky.
The stars in the night sky seemed to become brighter, and countless tiny light points fell from the sky and converged on the platform, shrouding Xu Xiaoyan in a silver halo.
"Feel the star power." Long Yuan's voice came from a distance, "Don't resist, let it enter your body and flow along the meridians."
Xu Xiaoyan Take a deep breath and close your eyes.
She could feel that something was coming from all directions, like countless tiny light spots, passing through her skin and seeping into her meridians. The feeling was wonderful, neither cold nor hot, but with an indescribable heaviness.
Star power slowly flowed through her meridians and converged towards her Dantian. The light on Star Wheel Ice Staff became brighter and brighter, and the starlight on the tip of the staff began to rotate, forming a small Vortex.
Time passed minute by minute.
The bright starlight gradually gathered and took on the form of light mist, covering Xu Xiaoyan. The golden light mist rose, making it even difficult for people close to see her appearance.
But this can't stop Long Yuan's gaze.
Xu Xiaoyan's face was sometimes calm and sometimes frowning, obviously she was under some kind of pressure. But she never opened her eyes or made any sound.
Long Yuan stood on the edge of the platform, with his hands behind his back, looking at her quietly.
The night wind blew by, fluttering the corners of his clothes.
On the first night, Xu Xiaoyan sat on Star Gazing Platform all night.
At dawn, Long Yuan asked her to stop and rest.
Xu Xiaoyan opened his eyes, feeling sore all over his body, but his spirit was surprisingly good.
"How do you feel?" Long Yuan asked.
Xu Xiaoyan looked down at Star Wheel Ice Staff in his hand. The starlight on the tip of the stick seemed to be brighter than yesterday.
"It seems... there is a little change, but I can't tell."
Long Yuan nodded. "It's normal. You will feel it after you try it a few more times."
Xu Xiaoyan holds the staff tightly and nods vigorously.
