20: Chapter 2 Have you heard of the Martial Saint of the Bright Moon?

Jiang Mingyue quickly calmed her mind, filtering out the interference from the external phenomena.

She swallowed a heavenly bear pill and formally began to circulate the Bright Moon Divine Art.

The majestic medicinal power dissolved within her body and was swiftly refined by the technique, transforming into pure Qi and blood energy.

"In this life, my starting point is truly excellent!"

Her heart was filled with both emotion and confidence.

"Not only do I have a supreme divine art that perfectly complements my Silver Moon Sacred Body, but I also have the assistance of top-grade pills like the heavenly bear pill."

"Before long, I will be able to break through the so-called ten million jin limit of the starry sky!"

At this thought, that annoying fellow next door involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

"When the time comes... Hmph! I'll definitely give you a sound thrashing!"

"How dare you call me 'Number Two'? Hmph! I'll let you know who the real boss is!"

She subconsciously glanced in the direction of the room next door, her lips curling into a breathtakingly beautiful arc.

...

"Achoo!"

In his room, just as he was preparing to get down to business, Ning Yuan sneezed without warning.

He rubbed his nose and muttered to himself.

"Who's missing my handsome and dashing self?"

He had naturally heard the Nine Resonances of the Great Dao that had just resonated through the sea of stars.

While others might still be in shock or guessing, he knew the truth as clearly as a mirror.

This phenomenon was ten thousand percent caused by the birth of the Myriad Tribulations Star Dome Dragon Elephant Scripture.

It seemed that the entire starry sea would likely be in an uproar for a while.

"But fortunately, this should be a universal phenomenon across the entire cosmos. No one should be able to pinpoint that the source is right here on this tiny Ancestral Star."

Ning Yuan's heart settled slightly, and then he couldn't help but marvel.

"Truly impressive!"

"brother tongzi, you really delivered!"

He stopped overthinking and directly took out a blood dragon pill provided in advance by the system, tossing it into his mouth.

In an instant!

The violent medicinal power erupted like a volcano!

Under the domineering and peerless circulation of the Myriad Tribulations Star Dome Dragon Elephant Scripture, this majestic energy—which would have normally taken a long time to digest—was devoured and refined to the last drop almost instantly!

The original seven hundred Dragon Elephant Particles in his body began to undergo a stunning transformation under the guidance of the new cultivation technique!

Ten ordinary Dragon Elephant Particles connected end-to-end and merged, eventually condensing into a new particle that was even more brilliant and powerful!

This new particle was as crystal clear as a star. At its core, one could vaguely see the phantom images of a Heavenly Dragon and a Divine Elephant coiled together, exuding a terrifying aura that seemed to suppress all ages!

This was a Starry Sky Dragon Elephant Particles!

Each one represented a full 100,000 jin of massive force!

Compared to before, it wasn't just an increase in quantity, but an upgrade in quality!

The process of transformation was incredibly fast.

In just a few moments, the seven hundred particles originally in his body had all transformed into seventy brand-new Starry Sky Dragon Elephant Particless!

But this was only the beginning!

As the medicinal power of the blood dragon pill continued to be refined, new Starry Sky Dragon Elephant Particless began to form one after another!

Eighty particles!

Ninety particles!

The Qi and blood in his body surged like a starry river, roaring incessantly!

However, all these terrifying phenomena were perfectly restrained within his body by the cultivation technique, without a single trace leaking out.

Ning Yuan felt that when away from home, it was better to keep a low profile.

Soon, the ninety-ninth Starry Sky Dragon Elephant Particles condensed into form!

9.9 million jin!

He was only one step away from the highest record in the starry sky!

Ning Yuan's expression also became solemn. He prepared to mobilize all his focus and go all out to charge at this invisible barrier that had troubled countless geniuses of the Ten Thousand Races of the Starry Sky!

However...

*Pop!*

With a soft sound, it was as if a layer of window paper had been poked through.

The hundredth Starry Sky Dragon Elephant Particles had... just like that, easily finished condensing!

Ten million jin of massive force!

Ning Yuan was stunned.

"It's... broken?"

He was still a bit dazed.

Mainly because for so many years, all sorts of ancient records and rumors in the starry sky had depicted this threshold as being incredibly difficult.

He had been waiting in full battle array, prepared for a tough fight.

He hadn't expected that it would be like using a cannon to hit a mosquito—it was almost too simple.

He froze for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh.

"Awesome!"

"Continue!"

He could clearly feel that his physical body was still far from reaching its limit.

The cultivation continued!

Soon, by the time today's cultivation session ended, the number of Starry Sky Dragon Elephant Particless in his body had reached one hundred and ten!

This meant that his net growth today was exactly forty particles, which was... four million jin of massive force!

This was four times his previous cultivation speed!

"It wasn't in vain that I worked so hard to become the dorm boss."

"The Deduction Card is truly powerful!"

"Tsk tsk, according to this progress, I'm afraid it won't even take a month for me to cultivate this technique to the limit of the Qi and Blood Realm and then attempt to step into the Transcendent realm!"

"Stepping into the Transcendent realm with a foundation of one hundred million jin... I'm really looking forward to it."

He stood up with a smile, completely restraining the terrifying Qi and blood power within his body without revealing a single trace.

...

Meanwhile, in the room next door.

Jiang Mingyue also slowly finished her cultivation for the day.

Feeling the majestic new Qi and blood within her body, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"Not bad! In just one day, my Qi and blood strength has seen a net increase of 600,000 jin!"

"Who else can compare!"

Her heart was full of pride.

At this rate, in less than a month, she would be able to reach the 18 million jin limit of the Bright Moon Divine Art and then step into the Transcendent realm!

"Ning Yuan... when the time comes, I'll definitely give you what's coming!"

She was thinking happily when she suddenly froze.

An extremely subtle, yet terrifyingly powerful fluctuation of Qi and blood that made even her soul tremble flashed by!

If she hadn't once been a Martial Saint with soul power far exceeding ordinary people, she wouldn't have been able to capture this trace of aura at all.

But even so, the feeling was too slight, as if it were just an illusion.

"Was it next door? No way, right?" Jiang Mingyue was stunned.

"That guy... could he have made that much progress in one day?"

She quickly tried to sense it again, but that aura had already vanished without a trace.

"That moment just now... it felt like an increase of at least one or two million jin?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

She shook her head vigorously, gritting her teeth and refusing to believe her own judgment.

How could anyone's cultivation speed be that fast?

Adding that to his original strength, wouldn't he be nearing the starry sky limit?

She activated her supreme treasure, changing her appearance and figure back into that of the delicate youth.

Jiang Mingyue pushed open her door.

Coincidentally, the door next door was pushed open at the same time.

Ning Yuan's figure appeared in the doorway.

The two of them were perfectly synchronized.

Jiang Mingyue paused slightly.

Ning Yuan walked over with a grin and familiarly threw his arm around her shoulder again.

"Oh, Number Two finished cultivating too."

"How was it? The heavenly bear pill works well, right? If you run out, just tell the boss. I've got plenty!"

He was in a very good mood today.

Consequently, his gaze toward his younger brothers was much kinder.

A vein on Jiang Mingyue's forehead throbbed involuntarily.

She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.

At the same time, she quietly sensed Ning Yuan's aura over and over again.

However, no matter how she investigated, his body was as calm as still water, as if he were just an ordinary youth, not much different from before.

Her confidence returned once more.

"It seems it really was my illusion just now. Most likely, those Nine Resonances of the Great Dao caused my soul perception to become distorted."

"Still, this guy is indeed not simple. His cultivation speed should be on par with mine."

"But, hmph hmph, my upper limit is higher than yours! I'll let you be smug for a little while longer!"

"Once I break through the ten million jin mark, just you wait and see how I beat the crap out of you!"

Her inner monologue was full of pride and defiance.

Just then, Lu Sheng's loud voice came from downstairs.

"Boss! Second Brother! You two came out at just the right time! I just got back from the academy with some ingredients and started a hotpot. Come down and eat!"

"I happen to be hungry, we're coming!" Ning Yuan called back with a smile.

Soon, the four of them were gathered around the dining table. The hotpot was steaming, and all sorts of precious ingredients were being tossed into the pot.

The four of them chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

They were becoming more familiar with each other.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Jiang Mingyue asked seemingly casually:

"By the way, have any of you heard of the Bright Moon Martial Saint?"
