Tiger-Leopard Thunder Resonance, Starry-Sky Warrior Association (Bonus Update During Recommendation Period)

In truth, Lin Yuan had still underestimated his current advantages.

He had thought that even with all those resources and the talent of a Martial Prodigy, completing the entire Marrow Cleansing Stage would likely take three months, perhaps even half a year.

But in reality...

He had needed only two months to achieve his goal ahead of schedule—

"Boom!"

A deep, earthshaking whoosh suddenly rang out, like a tiger's roar and thunderclap, carrying an overbearing force that echoed for a hundred paces.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp..."

The leaves nearby trembled. Flocks of birds panicked, flapping their wings as they hurriedly fled, as though some terrifying monster lurked here.

"..."

Lin Yuan froze.

He remained blankly in the posture of throwing a punch.

Tiger-Leopard Thunder Resonance!

He had not used the Fine Perception Level's technique of exerting twice the force. Relying on his own strength alone, he had actually produced Tiger-Leopard Thunder Resonance?

Lin Yuan knew very well what this represented.

Ten thousand jin of strength!

Body Tempering Grandmastery!

Only those who had fully completed the Marrow Cleansing Stage and achieved Body Tempering Grandmastery, possessing ten thousand jin of strength, could unleash such standard and thunderous Tiger-Leopard Thunder Resonance!

"I... I've already reached Body Tempering Grandmastery?"

Even Lin Yuan found it somewhat unbelievable.

It had only been two months!

Ever since returning from the Wilderness Zone, he had trained diligently day and night. With a constant supply of premium blood food and Vitality-Blood Potions, his physical qualities had steadily improved.

He had known his progress would be swift, but he had never imagined that in just two months, he would reach a realm he had not even dared to dream of over the previous three years—

Body Tempering Grandmastery, Foundation Establishment Perfection!

What did Body Tempering Grandmastery mean?

Body Tempering Grandmastery represented the limits of mortals. The body, inside and out, had been tempered to incomparable toughness; it could withstand ordinary iron weapons and wield immense strength of ten thousand jin at a turn. It represented minor bodily perfection.

Only such a powerful body could bear the wondrous, higher stellar energy of the universe without being torn apart.

In other words...

"I've met the requirements to cultivate the Starry Sky Breathing Method!"

Lin Yuan was ecstatic.

The Starry Sky Body Tempering Art was merely a cultivation method for mortal body tempering. It could bring one to Body Tempering Grandmastery and the realm of Flesh Perfection.

The Starry Sky Breathing Method, however, was the cultivation secret art of Starry-Sky Warriors!

The Human Federation was currently at a crucial stage of rapid expansion into the cosmic starry sky, and it had an especially great need for the power of Starry-Sky Warriors.

Thus, it not only spread the supposedly most perfect body tempering art—the Starry Sky Body Tempering Art—to everyone, but also freely taught an advanced cultivation method after one attained Body Tempering Grandmastery: the true Breathing Method.

The Breathing Method was a method of breathing and absorbing energy.

It allowed one to actively absorb the omnipresent higher stellar energy of the universe and refine it into Natal Stellar Force.

Only after refining one's first wisp of Natal Stellar Force could one truly be considered to have stepped through the gates of the Stellar Martial Path and become a genuine Starry-Sky Warrior!

"Hu..."

Lin Yuan took a deep breath and calmed himself.

He then swiftly left the park. That Tiger-Leopard Thunder Resonance just now had been far too extraordinary, its sound carrying for a hundred paces. The people nearby had probably noticed it.

"To the Starry-Sky Warrior Association!"

The Starry-Sky Warrior Association, its full name being the Official Starry-Sky Warrior Association, was, like the Hunter Association, an official organization dedicated to serving Starry-Sky Warriors.

"So huge..."

On the broad street, Lin Yuan stood before the Starry-Sky Warrior Association and looked up at the majestic, enormous complex of buildings, unable to help feeling stunned.

The Hunter Association had already seemed enormous to him, yet before the true Starry-Sky Warrior Association, the difference was like clouds and mud.

The Starry-Sky Warrior Association was not merely one building, but an entire complex!

The main building alone stood twenty-seven stories tall, forged entirely from a special blue Star Iron material. Under the blazing sun, it shimmered with a mysterious, hazy glow.

Behind it stood countless stretches of buildings. Though he did not know their exact functions, their appearance alone was astonishing.

"I heard the entire Starry-Sky Warrior Association covers more than a million square meters..."

Lin Yuan recalled some of what had been written in textbooks and clicked his tongue in wonder.

Its scale was even greater than the Forbidden City from his previous life.

As expected of an official association serving true Starry-Sky Warriors. The Hunter Association could not compare in the slightest.

Lin Yuan composed himself and stepped into the Starry-Sky Warrior Association. At once, he felt the space before his eyes shift, as if he had entered another world—

The first-floor hall was framed entirely in dark silver mysterious steel. Its dome had been constructed in imitation of the vast starry heavens, with countless tiny fluorescent crystal stones embedded throughout, becoming stars that slowly drifted across the sky. Their brightness alternated, simulating the orbital movements of the real universe.

There were no ordinary candles or chandeliers here. The entire space was illuminated solely by the cool, gentle starlight naturally flowing from the galactic crystal stones.

The pillars all around were engraved with dense ancient Star Patterns. Pale cyan light flowed through the patterns, winding upward along the pillars and joining the galaxy across the dome as one.

The floor was paved with Star Jade tiles bearing faint nebula patterns. They felt warm and solid beneath his feet, and every step sent a faint ring of silver-blue star mist rippling outward before it vanished into nothingness.

Even the air held thin yet pure currents of stellar force. It felt as though every breath could condense stellar force and strengthen one's foundation.

"..."

Lin Yuan, entering the Starry-Sky Warrior Association for the first time, could not help stopping in his tracks, deeply shaken.

This level of grandeur...

Damn!

Even this transmigrator who had lived two lives was at a loss for words.

All he could say was: as expected of the Starry-Sky Warrior Association!

Its mere façade and bearing were enough to demonstrate the nobility and strength of Starry-Sky Warriors, far surpassing every other profession.

"Hello, welcome to the Starry-Sky Warrior Association."

"How may I assist you?"

A gentle, soft female voice rang out, drawing Lin Yuan's gaze away from the dazzling sight of stars swirling all around him.

When he turned, he saw a young woman dressed in a blue-silver star robe. A nameplate was pinned to her ample chest—

Starry-Sky Warrior Association Attendant.

Lin Xue.

An attendant?

She was probably a receptionist for the Starry-Sky Warrior Association.

Lin Yuan discreetly glanced at the charming, lovely face of this girl who shared his surname, inwardly marveling. As expected of the Starry-Sky Warrior Association—even its most ordinary staff members were beauties rarely seen outside...

"I'm here to apply for the cultivation qualification for the Starry Sky Breathing Method."

Lin Yuan answered honestly.

"Of course. Please follow me."

Lin Xue was not surprised by Lin Yuan's answer.

After all, the Starry-Sky Warrior Association was a platform serving Starry-Sky Warriors. Most of those who came and went here were genuine Starry-Sky Warriors.

Young people like Lin Yuan, whom one could tell at a glance had not yet entered the true Stellar Martial Path, were mostly here to apply for the qualification to cultivate the Starry Sky Breathing Method.

Still, Lin Xue gave the young man before her another look.

It was not only because his appearance was exceptionally striking—elegant and handsome, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, precisely her type.

It was also because he was exceptionally young.

"He looks like he has only just come of age, yet he already qualifies to cultivate the Starry Sky Breathing Method?"

As she led the way, Lin Xue felt envious.

He seems to be a genius...
