Special Constitution, Thunder-Origin Immortal Body!

Huh?

A special constitution?

Me?

Lin Yuan looked utterly stunned.

Could it be that this face of mine... really was some kind of special constitution?

But Lin Yuan quickly calmed down and promptly noticed the information revealed in the girl's words.

"Too?"

"So you awakened a special constitution as well?"

Faced with Lin Yuan's question, Gu Yiyi did not hide it and simply nodded.

"Yes. The reason I left for several months and didn't take the June Joint Exam was because my constitution awakened..."

No wonder.

Lin Yuan suddenly understood. No wonder she had left so abruptly back then—it had coincided with the awakening of her special constitution...

"Special constitutions are unique talents possessed by an extremely small number of humans."

"Depending on the constitution each person awakens, the time required for awakening varies greatly."

Perhaps to cover up the earlier awkwardness, Gu Yiyi kept a straight face and solemnly explained it to him.

"The constitution I awakened is relatively powerful, so it took even longer to awaken. I only completed the awakening and came out of seclusion not long ago."

As she spoke, the girl gently raised her hand.

Her hand was fair and delicate, like creamy white jade, exuding the softness and fragrance of a young girl.

Crackle—

Suddenly, a thread of golden lightning burst into life.

A bolt of golden lightning appeared in her hand, coiling up and down like a thunder dragon.

Lightning?

Lin Yuan's gaze sharpened.

Was this a special constitution?

Her tempered Natal Stellar Force had actually transformed into the lightning attribute?

It was an eye-opener for him.

For ordinary Starry-Sky Warriors, tempered Natal Stellar Force was the most primitive blue, without any elemental attribute.

Only by cultivating certain special Stellar Force Secret Arts could one possibly alter the attributes of Natal Stellar Force, and even then, it was merely temporary rather than a fundamental change.

Yet Gu Yiyi's Natal Stellar Force had been altered at its root, becoming a special lightning-attributed Stellar Force!

And this lightning did not seem to be ordinary lightning-attributed power.

Normal lightning should have been blue-silver, but the lightning in her palm was golden!

"This is the special constitution I awakened. It's called the Thunder-Origin Immortal Body."

Gu Yiyi seemed to have no intention of concealing it and spoke frankly.

"Thunder-Origin Immortal Body?"

Lin Yuan was secretly shocked.

That name... was pretty domineering too.

His gaze involuntarily drifted toward the girl's petite, exquisite figure, and his expression turned a little strange.

Such an adorable girl had awakened the Thunder-Origin Immortal Body, which sounded overwhelmingly domineering...

He suddenly wanted to see what Gu Yiyi looked like in an actual battle.

Lin Yuan quietly withdrew his gaze, feeling slightly guilty.

Gu Yiyi's eyes curved into crescents, as though she did not mind at all.

"The Thunder-Origin Immortal Body is a powerful constitution that has been recorded before. It can control special golden lightning, and it tempers Natal Stellar Force into gold, granting even greater destructive power..."

"It also possesses many other wondrous abilities, but I'm still too weak to use them."

She sounded somewhat regretful.

Only when martial arts were mentioned did her expression become calm and serious, as though the shy beauty who had confessed to him earlier no longer existed.

"Actually, special constitutions may be rare, but isn't there another person at our school who awakened one too?"

The girl was clearly hinting at someone.

"Chen Fan."

This time, Lin Yuan blurted it out before she could say it.

At the same time, the image of a tall, skinny youth with a cold face immediately surfaced in his mind.

Chen Fan was also from their school. But unlike Gu Yiyi, who had always been favored by heaven, he came from a poor family. His parents had died, and he had been fostered by his uncle's family, which had made him rather withdrawn.

His martial talent was not much better than Lin Yuan's. Before the June Joint Exam, he had only barely reached the peak of the Blood Tempering Stage, possessing a mere two thousand jin of strength.

Such results could not possibly stir up any waves in the June Joint Exam, where geniuses gathered.

But Chen Fan's luck had been good. He had actually awakened a special constitution midway through the Joint Exam!

With one awakening, he entered the open road.

Those with special constitutions possessed heaven-blessed talent. They even had special abilities called Innate Secret Arts, which required no cultivation and could be used as naturally as instinct. Their power rivaled Stellar Force Secret Arts.

Naturally, he had been able to overtake others on the curve, cut through every obstacle, and shine brilliantly.

He had even eventually entered Azure River Satellite City's renowned Starry-Sky Martial Academy—the Mountain-Suppressing Martial Hall—where he earned the hall master's favor and gained a boundless future.

The reason Lin Yuan paid so much attention to Chen Fan was because Chen Fan's experiences gave him a powerful sense of déjà vu.

A strange feeling that... Chen Fan was the real protagonist...

How odd.

"Yes, Chen Fan."

When Gu Yiyi mentioned that name, her face remained expressionless, and her gaze never left Lin Yuan's face.

"In little Azure River Ninth High School alone, there are three people who have awakened special constitutions... That shows that while special constitutions are rare, there are still some when looking across all of human civilization."

Three?

Lin Yuan froze, then immediately understood.

She was counting him too...

He did not refute her. Given his situation, no one would likely believe him if he said he was not someone who had awakened a special constitution.

Besides, Talent Traits really did feel somewhat like a special constitution, though perhaps a little stronger...

Lin Yuan glanced at the densely packed eleven Talent Traits on his panel: "Swordsmanship Mastery," "Martial Prodigy," "Transcendent Comprehension," "Infinite Space"... and more.

It made him feel completely at ease.

"You're right."

"I really did awaken a special constitution..."

He went along with it, speaking utter nonsense with a straight face.

Just as expected!

Gu Yiyi did not doubt him. An unsurprised expression appeared on her exquisitely perfect face, while something like... excitement seemed to flicker in her eyes?

"That's wonderful, Lin Yuan."

The girl was happy for him.

She knew that martial aptitude had always been Lin Yuan's pain.

He had worked so hard, yet never achieved any results.

She had watched the youth go from high-spirited at the start to increasingly despondent, increasingly doubtful of himself, until finally... he refused to accept his fate!

She had wanted to help him, but unfortunately, she had been powerless.

But now things were different. Awakening a special constitution was itself a chance to defy fate.

As expected of the man I like. His luck is extraordinary...

For no reason, the girl's heart leaped with joy.

Lin Yuan was smiling too.

He could tell that Gu Yiyi was sincerely happy for him.

That pure feeling brought a long-forgotten trace of warmth to his heart.

Afterward, he casually asked about how she had been recently. The girl answered every question without holding anything back.

The atmosphere between them finally returned to normal, carrying something of the feeling of old friends reunited.

"Oh, right."

"Since you've awakened a special constitution, there's something you have to consider."

As they chatted enthusiastically, Gu Yiyi seemed to remember something and spoke solemnly.

Huh?

Lin Yuan tilted his head, not understanding.

"What is it?"

"The Star-Martial Prodigy Talent Development Program!"
