Heavenly Dipper Qi Refining Formula!

No. 3 Secret Command Room.

There were no unnecessary furnishings in the room.

Only a massive holographic projection platform stood at its center.

Su Qingxue walked to the console and entered a string of extremely complex passwords.

"Buzz—"

A deep blue light projected outward, weaving into a virtual screen in midair.

On the screen,

dense lines of text cascaded down like a waterfall.

They were combinations of characters steeped in ancient charm, yet carrying a certain transcendent power.

"This..."

"This is a genuine martial arts cultivation technique?"

Several accompanying researchers stepped forward.

Their eyes widened as though they were looking at ruins left behind by an alien civilization.

Su Qingxue ignored everyone's shock.

Her slender fingers swiftly slid across the virtual panel.

In the blink of an eye,

the screen was divided into several sections.

Then,

Su Qingxue turned around.

Her gaze swept across everyone present before finally settling on Lin Yuan.

"These are all the complete cultivation techniques I mastered in my previous life."

"One Sixth-Tier Cultivation Art."

"Two Fifth Tier cultivation techniques."

"Three Fourth Tier cultivation techniques."

"Five Third-Tier Stage cultivation techniques."

"Four Second-Tier Stage cultivation techniques."

"And three First Order cultivation techniques."

Each time Su Qingxue announced a number, a section on the screen lit up.

At the very top,

the Sixth-Tier Cultivation Art known as the Heavenly Dipper Qi Refining Formula radiated dazzling Dark Gold light.

Lin Yuan raised his head.

His eyes remained fixed on that gleam of Dark Gold.

"The higher the rank of a cultivation technique, the greater its power."

"But likewise, its requirements for a cultivator's talent and comprehension increase geometrically."

Seeing Lin Yuan's reaction,

Su Qingxue pointed to the cultivation technique at the top, her tone turning unprecedentedly solemn.

"Take this Heavenly Dipper Qi Refining Formula, for example."

"It is a Sixth-Tier Cultivation Art jointly deduced by five grandmaster-level experts."

"..."

At that point,

Su Qingxue paused for a moment, seeming to sink into some memory.

"When I obtained this cultivation technique in my previous life, I was already a Fourth Tier martial artist."

"Even so,"

"it still took me a full five years to barely cultivate it successfully."

As soon as those words were spoken,

the air in the command room instantly froze.

Nie Dingguo frowned deeply.

Su Qingxue in her previous life had been a Fifth Tier Late Stage martial artist.

With her talent, it had still taken her five years?

That was far too exaggerated!

"Lin Yuan."

"You are the most monstrous genius I have ever seen."

"But you have only just entered the First-Tier Early Stage."

"I suggest you begin by cultivating a Fourth Tier cultivation technique."

"Fourth Tier cultivation techniques are quite powerful, and their difficulty is relatively moderate."

“Once your Strength improves and your body and meridians have been thoroughly transformed by Aura,”

"your talent will become even stronger. It will not be too late to switch to the Heavenly Dipper Qi Refining Formula then."

"..."

Su Qingxue looked at Lin Yuan and offered her professional advice.

She did not want to see Dragon Country's hope for the future ruin his foundation through overreaching ambition.

"I disagree!"

At that moment,

an urgent voice interrupted Su Qingxue.

Old Li, the head of research, stepped forward.

Everyone's eyes turned toward Old Li.

"Instructor Su."

"You are judging a monster by ordinary standards!"

"For the past few days, our research team has not rested for even a second."

"We built an enormous data model!"

"Based on the lists of future powerhouses you provided, such as Ye Qingshan and Chu Tiankuo,"

"we simulated everyone's growth curves under identical conditions!"

Old Li slapped the report in his hand onto the table.

Then,

he pointed to the edge of the holographic projection and brought up a set of comparison charts.

"Look here!"

"Even Ye Qingshan, the future man known as the number one War God,"

"could never reach Lin Yuan's level in terms of theoretical data limits!"

"For talent at this monstrous level,"

"following the usual steps is the greatest waste!"

"Fourth Tier cultivation techniques simply do not deserve Lin Yuan's potential!"

"I believe Lin Yuan is fully qualified and capable of directly cultivating the Heavenly Dipper Qi Refining Formula!"

"..."

Old Li grew more excited as he spoke, even unable to stop himself from waving his fists.

The way he looked at Lin Yuan was like he was gazing at a flawless work of art.

As Old Li's words fell,

the atmosphere in the command room instantly became strange.

On one side was Su Qingxue, representing the practical experience of blood and fire from her previous life.

On the other was Old Li, representing absolutely rational scientific data analysis.

Nie Dingguo stood with his hands behind his back.

The old general did not immediately state his position.

He turned his gaze toward Lin Yuan, who stood nearby.

The nation's training of Lin Yuan was not merely about providing him with resources, but also about cultivating his decisiveness.

A future top powerhouse had to possess convictions of his own.

"Lin Yuan."

"What do you think?"

Nie Dingguo's deep voice echoed through the command room.

Lin Yuan stood where he was.

His expression was exceedingly calm.

Talent?

Comprehension?

Stringent requirements?

Before awakening the Heaven Rewards Diligence System,

he had spent only three days going from an ordinary person to a martial artist.

And,

that had been in an environment where Aura had yet to revive.

If Aura had already fully revived, his cultivation speed would only be faster.

Under such circumstances,

Lin Yuan was highly confident in his own talent.

Besides,

he had already awakened the Heaven Rewards Diligence System.

The words "Heaven Rewards Diligence" were not just empty talk.

No matter how difficult a cultivation technique was,

as long as he could get started,

all that remained was to grind proficiency like crazy!

And when it came to grinding proficiency,

no matter how good a Fourth Tier cultivation technique was, could it compare to a Sixth-Tier Cultivation Art?

"Commander, Instructor Su."

"I want to try the Heavenly Dipper Qi Refining Formula."

Lin Yuan stepped forward under everyone's gaze.

His tone was calm, but it carried an attitude that brooked no doubt.

"Lin Yuan, do you understand the consequences of failure?"

"Cultivation technique backlash can damage your meridians at best, or cripple you outright at worst!"

Su Qingxue frowned slightly.

She still wanted to persuade Lin Yuan.

"I understand the risks."

"But I understand even more clearly that we do not have much time left."

"Since the best is available, I have no reason to choose something inferior."

"..."

Lin Yuan met Su Qingxue's gaze without backing down.

But he deliberately paused, then offered a compromise.

"How about this?"

"Let's set a limit of half a month."

"If I cannot get started with the Heavenly Dipper Qi Refining Formula within half a month,"

"I will immediately switch to a Fourth Tier cultivation technique without another word and waste no more time."

"..."

Upon hearing Lin Yuan's words,

the command room fell into brief silence.

Nie Dingguo stared at Lin Yuan.

There was not the slightest trace of arrogance on that young face, only pure determination.

"Good!"

"That is the spirit young people should have!"

"We will do as you say. Half a month!"

"The military district will provide you with the highest standard of medical and nutritional support. Go ahead and give it your all!"

Very quickly,

the matter was completely settled.

Su Qingxue secretly sighed.

She could only hope this monstrous genius could truly create another miracle.

"Now that the cultivation technique has been chosen,"

“next are the Martial Techniques.”

Su Qingxue gathered her emotions and began operating the console again.

The light screen shifted.

The martial cultivation techniques vanished.

In their place appeared the names of dozens of different kinds of Martial Techniques.

Fist techniques, leg techniques, saber techniques, sword techniques...

Lin Yuan looked closely and noticed something was wrong.

And he was not the only one.

Nie Dingguo and the researchers standing beside him all wore strange expressions as well.

Because every Martial Technique listed on the light screen was Third Tier.

There was not a single Fourth Tier Martial Technique!

The adjutant hesitated beside them, his face flushing red from holding back his words.

Everyone knew that Lin Yuan was now the treasure of the entire Dragon Country military.

They had even brought out a Sixth-Tier Cultivation Art.

So why were they only giving him Third Tier Martial Techniques?

Su Qingxue had clearly said before that she possessed three Fifth Tier Martial Techniques.

This made no sense at all.

Of course.

They would not suspect Su Qingxue of having selfish motives.

After all, everything Su Qingxue had done over the past three months had been for this country.

She must have had her reasons for doing this.
