Star Warrior Badge, Soaring to the Heavens in One Step!

Could one achieve immortality through the Stellar Martial Path?

Lin Yuan did not know.

He had only just reached Initiation himself. Even Azure Star had only been exposed to the Stellar Martial Path for a few hundred years; on a cosmic scale, it had only just begun...

But he knew that as long as he worked hard, with the heaven-defying trait "Life Plunder," he would never need to worry about his lifespan.

He was only eighteen now, yet he already had a full three hundred years of lifespan in reserve!

Not to mention that if he continued hunting and plundering, it would keep increasing without end...

"In a few days, I'll go to the Starry-Sky Warrior Association and certify my status as a Starry-Sky Warrior."

Under the moonlight, Lin Yuan stood atop a building, gazing down at the skyscrapers and earth below with a solemn expression.

After certifying his Starry-Sky Warrior status, he would receive a Star Warrior Badge.

Only by possessing a Star Warrior Badge could one claim the various benefits and privileges the Human Federation granted to Starry-Sky Warriors.

Starry-Sky Warriors stood above all professions. That was not merely an empty claim.

For one thing, once the certification was approved, one would immediately receive a standalone villa within the inner district of a satellite city and automatically become an inner-district resident.

That benefit alone was worth tens of millions, perhaps even hundreds of millions, of Azure Coins!

That was a standalone villa in the inner district!

Countless people dreamed of one, yet could only live in the outer districts, crammed into towering apartment blocks alongside tens of millions of ordinary people.

Lin Yuan's current home was merely an ordinary hundred-square-meter apartment floor left behind by his parents.

It had three bedrooms and a living room, but the space was too small to truly stretch his limbs. It was simply not enough for him to train at home, forcing him to go to the park outside every time he practiced.

Alternatively, he could spend a fortune to use the training grounds opened by martial arts schools, but ordinary families could not afford that.

That was all ordinary people could do.

Lin Yuan greatly desired a standalone villa of his own. It was not because he craved luxury, but because only villa districts came with private training rooms!

He would not need to go outside every time. He could train at home.

As for why he would wait a few days before going...

Naturally, it was because he did not want to be too high-profile. Completing a transformation overnight was still too conspicuous. Not even those Star-Martial Prodigies could manage it, so there was no need to invite unnecessary trouble.

On the third day, Lin Yuan rose early. After making a few preparations, he headed straight for the Starry-Sky Warrior Association.

When he arrived at the enormous building complex that could only be called miraculous once more, Lin Yuan was no longer the same person he had been before. He had undergone a complete transformation.

His entire bearing differed from that of the ordinary people around him. Every gesture naturally radiated nobility and sharpness.

This was brought about by the difference in the level of life itself. It was not something he intended.

As he walked, he became aware of it as well.

He understood that he had only just broken through and had yet to adapt to such immense changes.

"This won't do. Being so sharp and conspicuous doesn't suit my personality..."

Lin Yuan muttered as he tried hard to restrain his aura.

Upon entering the association, he saw once again the breathtaking beauty of the hall, like a shifting galaxy. This time, he was not dazzled by it. Instead, after his breakthrough, he sensed the true nature of the stellar energy currents in the air.

"So it's a phenomenon formed by pure stellar energy being misted. No wonder even taking a breath feels like entering an immortal realm..."

Lin Yuan was secretly astonished.

What extravagance.

He had only just broken through, and the Natal Stellar Force refined within his body consisted of only a single wisp—pitifully little.

Yet the Starry-Sky Warrior Association was lavish enough to fill the entire hall with misted stellar energy. One could only imagine how many resources that required...

"Lin Yuan?"

"Did you... break through and become a Starry-Sky Warrior?"

Just as he was marveling at it, a cry of surprise came from behind him.

Lin Yuan turned and saw that it was Lin Xue, the female attendant who had helped test his martial ability three days ago.

Lin Xue was still wearing the association's standard uniform. Her blue-and-silver robe tightly wrapped around her curvaceous figure and naturally parted at her thighs, revealing her fair, slender legs.

She lifted a jade-like hand to cover her rosy lips, surprise evident on her face.

She had long been mentally prepared for Lin Yuan to successfully break through.

But completing his transformation in just three days still caught her off guard.

"As expected, he's a little genius..."

After all, she was a professional. She quickly composed herself, and a captivating smile appeared on her face.

"You're here to certify your Star Warrior Badge, right?"

After breaking through, the first thing every Starry-Sky Warrior did was come certify their identity and receive a Star Warrior Badge representing their status and position.

Lin Yuan did not feel embarrassed. He nodded openly.

Lin Xue led him into another testing room.

Unlike the one from three days ago, this was an advanced testing room specifically established to assess the data of Starry-Sky Warriors.

Certifying one's Starry-Sky Warrior status was very simple: strength, speed, and physical strength.

Already familiar with the process, Lin Yuan quickly completed the certification.

"Strength—50,000 kg. Qualified!"

"Speed—30 m/s. Qualified!"

"Physical strength—Mortal Transcendence Realm. Qualified!"

Once all the data came out, every category met the standard.

Lin Xue recorded each item, then took out a silver-white badge and handed it to Lin Yuan.

"Congratulations, Lin Yuan."

"This is your Starry-Sky Warrior Badge. It contains an internal chip holding all your identity information and warrior records."

"All your warrior privileges have been activated. You may log into the Starry-Sky Warrior Forum to learn about the various information and materials concerning Starry-Sky Warriors."

"Your exclusive Star-Martial rewards have been issued. The property has been automatically allocated by the system. It is located at No. 68 Zhonghai Sky City, Inner Fourth Ring. You only need to bring your Star Warrior Badge to move in..."

"You may log into the Star-Martial Marketplace and select any one stellar energy secret art..."

"Additionally, the fifty-million-Azure-Coin reward has been deposited into your personal account. Please check it..."

Lin Xue continued introducing the many benefits and rewards available to Starry-Sky Warriors, one after another, and Lin Yuan nodded repeatedly as he listened.

Tsk, tsk. As expected of a Starry-Sky Warrior.

A true privileged upper class. They gave him a villa and started him off with a fifty-million reward fund. Who else could compare?

"Soaring to the heavens in one step."

He took a deep breath. Never before had he felt so tangibly the nobility and prestige of being a Starry-Sky Warrior.

He could not wait to see the first standalone villa he owned in this world...

"I'll move immediately when I get back!"

After bidding farewell to the somewhat reluctant female attendant, Lin Yuan hurried back to the old neighborhood where he had lived for more than a decade.

He returned to the small home that, though not large, carried so many of his memories.

In the dim light, Lin Yuan picked up a photograph from a corner of the room and silently wiped away the dust.

Once the grime was wiped away, it revealed a family portrait of a man, a woman, and a little boy.

The man was broad and sturdy, with an honest-looking face, smiling foolishly.

The woman was gentle and elegant. She wore glasses and smiled softly.

Between them stood a little boy who looked only eight or nine years old, holding their hands. It was Lin Yuan.

"Dad, Mom..."

Lin Yuan stared at the photograph for a long time, and his expression gradually softened.

"I'm leaving. I'm going to a broader world, to see the starry sky you always wanted to see but were ultimately fated never to behold..."

"I believe that your spirits in heaven will continue watching over me in silence, won't you?"
