Eye of Heaven Observation

On the second day after Lei Zhan arrived, Ning Yue went to school and applied for permission to study away from school.

The reason: he was preparing to cultivate at the Thunder Martial Arts Hall.

Only from his parents did Ning Yue learn that Lei Zhan was the second master of the Thunder Martial Arts Hall.

The hall master of the Thunder Martial Arts Hall was Lei Bo, a peak sixth-rank martial artist.

Lei Zhan was Lei Bo's younger brother. He liked adventure and roaming the world, and disliked a life of ease.

So he joined forces with some like-minded people to form the Mad Battle Hunting Team.

Back then, Ning Baichuan and Lei Zhan had been buddies. That was how Lei Zhan had drawn him in, making him one of the Mad Battle Hunting Team's original members.

Lei Zhan stayed at Ning Yue's home for a whole day, arriving at noon on the first day and leaving in the evening the next.

In that little more than a day, Ning Yue discovered that his father and the others really were close, as close as blood brothers.

Thinking about it, he understood. Back then, they had faced life and death together, comrades who could safely entrust their backs to one another.

The four iron bonds of life.

They had been through them who knew how many times.

Not only that, Ning Yue also heard some information about universities from Lei Zhan.

On Blue Star, after the spiritual energy revival, the cities entered an era of self-governance.

Later, after Blue Star achieved unification, its cities were divided into four grades according to their importance.

First-grade imperial city, the center of humanity.

Second-grade royal cities, the eight royal cities suppressed the eight wildernesses.

Third-grade fortress cities, the 108 fortress cities formed an array that protected Blue Star and guarded its peace.

Fourth-grade scattered cities, several thousand scattered cities were dotted across the land in an orderly pattern, with populations ranging from a hundred thousand to a million. Xinyuan City was one of them.

Only after hearing this did Ning Yue understand how vast Blue Star was.

From the scale of a scattered city, he could tell how large the three higher grades of cities were.

According to Lei Zhan, after becoming a grandmaster, he had visited the imperial city and the Border Wilderness Royal City.

The imperial city was vast, with a permanent population of over a hundred million. Seventh-rank grandmasters were as plentiful as rain, and even eighth-rank great grandmasters could be seen from time to time.

On Blue Star, only geniuses could enter university.

The college entrance examination was one way Blue Star selected geniuses from among humanity.

Universities were not as rampant as they had been in his previous life, found everywhere, and not every city was qualified to establish one.

According to the city grades, only fortress cities and above were qualified to build universities.

A fortress city could have only one university.

A royal city could build two universities, while the imperial city had four.

There were no so-called private universities. Civilian organizations could only count as martial arts halls.

"Uncle Lei, Uncle Zhao, take care."

"Old Lei, Old Zhao, come by whenever you have time. Our home is your home, so visit often."

Ning Yue's family saw Lei Zhan and Old Zhao off as the two men left.

"All right, I'll come often. You two should hurry up and have a few more kids. Ning Yue's grown up, so he's no fun anymore."

Lei Zhan and Old Zhao each hugged Ning Baichuan, then hugged Ning Yue.

"Kid, when you reach the fourth rank, Uncle Lei will take you to kill vicious beasts."

With that, Lei Zhan and Old Zhao laughed heartily, turned, and left.

In their hearts, they didn't think they would have another chance to fight alongside Ning Yue.

After the college entrance examination, Ning Yue would leave Xinyuan City and enter a university. That was where he would grow.

Even a fortress city university possessed a secret realm of its own, suppressed a region, and had abundant resources.

A scattered city like Xinyuan City simply couldn't compare.

Time flowed like water.

Twenty days passed in the blink of an eye. During that time, Ning Yue traveled back and forth between home and the Thunder Martial Way Hall.

He discovered that cultivating at the Thunder Martial Way Hall was faster than cultivating at home.

Only later did he learn that the Thunder Martial Way Hall had set up a martial array called "Thunder Spirit Transformation."

That was only one benefit. He could also constantly spar with others, exchange insights, and gain practical combat experience.

After twenty days of simulations, Ning Yue didn't know whether his luck was good or bad. He had obtained ten physiques in a row, not because he didn't want to choose anything else.

The other two options were either trash or useless items.

After more than ten physiques fused, his physique finally underwent a transformation, becoming a spiritual physique: the Indestructible Vajra Physique.

With the boost from his physique, his cultivation speed grew faster and faster, and in twenty days he cultivated until his qi and blood value was nearly a thousand points.

Ning Yue had fought the martial artists at the hall. Those in the first and second ranks couldn't do anything to him.

He hadn't fought anyone in the Third-Rank Realm, and he didn't want to expose too much either.

Even so, he became the hall's number-one genius, attracting the flattery and envy of many.

He checked his savings. He had a little under a hundred thousand left.

Once again, he had to consider where to earn money.

He had originally wanted to exploit a bug by exchanging the things he drew from the Myriad Heavens Simulator for money, then using the money to simulate.

Unexpectedly, the things in the simulator were mostly conceptual, with too few physical items.

Bugs weren't so easy to exploit.

"Today, I'm going to break a thousand qi and blood."

Ning Yue sensed that he was on the verge of a breakthrough. In the Qi and Blood Realm, he had already reached his body's limit.

If he hadn't been cultivating the divine-level technique, the Bitter Bamboo Scripture, he might have broken through long ago.

Moreover, Ning Yue had always felt that something was not quite complete, which was why he had held on until today.

"Myriad Heavens Simulator, activate."

[Ding, ten thousand yuan deducted. Drawing from the myriad heavenly worlds...]

"Heavenly Dao world drawn: Star Realm"

"Age 0: You gained a faint awareness. You were one of the billions of stars in the Sea of Stars."

"Age 100: You were still a star."

"Age 10,000: Your consciousness grew very slowly. You were still a star."

"Age 129,600: You sensed the power of destruction. The star began a new cycle of reincarnation."

You reincarnated.

[This simulation has ended. The host may choose one of the following rewards: 1. Eye of Heaven Observation, 2. none, 3. none]

Was there even a choice?

"I choose 1."
