Battle of Myriad Stars!

Wang Qianjun gripped his pitch-black spear tightly, glanced at the scattered wood chips, then saw the utterly satisfied smile at the corner of Chen Yu's lips. A trace of surprise appeared on his face.

He knew very well that if not for the material of the wooden saber itself, Chen Yu should have been able to barely withstand the second strike.

Even though he had not been particularly serious when he attacked.

But Chen Yu's saber technique... was indeed somewhat different.

"Teacher Fang, please pass a message to Chen Yu. Once he wakes up, I'll be waiting for him to fight me again anytime. Next time, I'll use a wooden spear too."

Wang Qianjun's gaze shifted slightly as he looked at Fang Xiong.

The moment those words were spoken, the way every student in the Martial Arts Class looked at Chen Yu changed.

If they had regarded Chen Yu as nothing more than a clown, Wang Qianjun would never have said such things.

"No problem."

As Fang Xiong looked at Chen Yu, a rare hint of astonishment appeared in his eyes.

A Body Tempering Second Layer cultivator facing someone at the Body Tempering Eighth Layer could already be proud just for taking one move.

With his discernment, he could naturally tell that if not for the weapon material, Chen Yu would definitely have been able to take Wang Qianjun's second move.

This brat has really had an Aperture Opening! His confidence is just a little too inflated. He actually dared to provoke Wang Qianjun on his own initiative. That was still far too reckless.

However... it wasn't without its benefits.

Fang Xiong could clearly sense that the Martial Arts students' disdain for Chen Yu, a Biohuman, had now vanished without a trace.

Among Martial Artists, strength was ultimately supreme.

By the time Chen Yu woke up on a bed in the infirmary, the sky outside had already grown late.

As expected, Wang Qianjun's martial arts talent is truly different. He's far beyond that trash Xiao Feng!

The moment his consciousness cleared, Chen Yu recalled the talent he had copied from Wang Qianjun before losing consciousness.

The speed at which one's martial arts realm advanced was a full thirty times that of an ordinary person!

Cultivating for one day was equivalent to an ordinary person's gains from an entire month!

Although it was not as terrifying as Fang Xiong's two-hundredfold Blade Technique Grandmaster talent, it was already an enormous stroke of fortune that ordinary people on Crimson Radiance Star could only dream of!

"Brat, you're finally awake?"

Just as Chen Yu's heart surged with excitement, Fang Xiong's voice suddenly sounded from beside him.

"You got a little fortuitous opportunity, and your confidence immediately swelled. You actually dared to provoke Wang Qianjun while only at the Body Tempering Second Layer!"

"There are countless geniuses in this world. Don't think you're special just because you obtained a little opportunity. Even geniuses like Wang Qianjun are as numerous as stars in the Human Federation."

"You suffered a setback this time. I hope you understand this principle."

Chen Yu nodded silently and fell quiet.

It seems Fang Xiong has already noticed my changes and assumed I encountered some kind of fortuitous opportunity.

He was not surprised by this.

Whether it was his battle with Xiao Feng or his fight with Wang Qianjun, his performance had clearly differed from before. Any normal person could see it.

It was only natural for Fang Xiong to notice.

Rather than fabricate one lie and then use countless more lies to cover it up later, it was better to say nothing and let others make their own guesses.

People believed conclusions they arrived at themselves more readily.

"Teacher Fang, since you can say that, it seems you've seen many geniuses stronger than Wang Qianjun?" Chen Yu changed the subject.

"What does Wang Qianjun amount to?" Fang Xiong curled his lip. "Back then, your teacher here was only a step away from obtaining the qualifications for the Battle of Myriad Stars..."

Hearing that Fang Xiong seemed about to speak of his past, Chen Yu immediately pricked up his ears.

Yet just as it reached the crucial part, Fang Xiong's voice abruptly stopped, and a trace of loneliness flashed across his face.

"Battle of Myriad Stars? What is the Battle of Myriad Stars?" Chen Yu asked proactively.

"The Battle of Myriad Stars..." Fang Xiong was silent for a long time before slowly letting out a breath. "It is a true competition that only the Human Race's most elite geniuses are qualified to participate in."

"Even simply participating without obtaining any rank is an immense honor. It is enough to make one famous beneath this starry sky and earn the reverence of countless living beings."

"The most elite geniuses? How do they compare to Wang Qianjun?" At the mention of geniuses, Chen Yu's eyes immediately lit up.

He was lacking geniuses right now!

The more geniuses there were, the more good talents there would be!

"Wang Qianjun's martial arts talent would only be considered above average on all of Crimson Radiance Star. How could he possibly compare?"

Fang Xiong shook his head helplessly, but he also understood that due to Crimson Radiance Star's limited information channels, Chen Yu knew little about matters beyond the planet.

"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll tell you a little about it and broaden your horizons!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu immediately adopted an attentive posture.

Fang Xiong stopped wasting words and began speaking slowly.

"The Crimson Radiance Star we are currently on is merely a remote life planet within the Human Race's territory, located in the Red River Galaxy."

"There are nearly a million life planets like Crimson Radiance Star in the Red River Galaxy."

"And one hundred to one thousand galaxies like the Red River Galaxy can be called a Star Domain. The place we are currently in is the Demon Mountain Starfield."

"The territory controlled by the Human Race is estimated to contain tens of thousands of Star Domains. How many life planets do you think there are?"

"To obtain the qualifications to participate in the Battle of Myriad Stars, one must first join a force within a Star Domain. After layer upon layer of selection, competition, and rivalry, the many forces choose the ten thousand strongest seed geniuses from that Star Domain."

"The so-called Battle of Myriad Stars is the Myriad Stars Battlefield, where tens of thousands of Star Domains each send ten thousand genius seeds, and hundreds of millions of elite geniuses compete!"

"Even if you rank at the bottom among those hundreds of millions, you would still stand at a peak beyond the reach of countless trillions of living beings. Your name would be enough to spread throughout the vast territory of the Human Race."

Shock!

True shock!

After hearing Fang Xiong's introduction, Chen Yu immediately understood the weight carried by the Battle of Myriad Stars.

The Battle of Myriad Stars! If I can participate in the Battle of Myriad Stars, how many top-tier talents that can only be encountered by chance could I copy?

A fervent light immediately flashed in Chen Yu's eyes.

He could forcibly copy one talent from his opponent through battle.

If he could participate in the Battle of Myriad Stars and fight hundreds of millions of elite geniuses standing at the pinnacle of human talent, how many rare talents could he copy?

At that moment, Chen Yu's desire to participate in the Battle of Myriad Stars rose to its peak.

Did I say too much? Seeing the obsession in Chen Yu's eyes, Fang Xiong closed his mouth, somewhat worried that Chen Yu was aiming too high.

That was the Battle of Myriad Stars.

Although he had told Chen Yu that he had only been a step away from qualifying, that was actually a slightly exaggerated claim by Fang Xiong.

When competing for the Demon Mountain Starfield's ten thousand participation slots back then, he had actually been eliminated early and had not even come close to qualifying.

But on second thought, Fang Xiong felt that having a goal was not a bad thing.

Those who aim high achieve the middle; those who aim for the middle achieve the low; those who aim low achieve nothing.

Chen Yu had just obtained a little opportunity. Letting his confidence grow and giving him a goal was still a good thing. It was far better than letting him become dispirited.

Thus, Fang Xiong decided not to discourage Chen Yu and smiled faintly.

"Brat, work hard. Maybe one day, you'll have a chance to participate in the Battle of Myriad Stars too."

"But you have to walk the road step by step. Your top priority is to pass the Martial Exam three months from now and successfully enter a Martial University on Crimson Radiance Star. Otherwise, you won't even have the qualifications to leave Crimson Radiance Star."

"Biohumans have no parents and no family background, so you can only rely on yourselves."
