38: Chapter 38 One Hundred Million Jin, The Perfect Realm!

Ning Yuan felt somewhat uncomfortable.

He couldn't help but glare at Lu Sheng.

"What's with that look? Why should I know her?"

Lu Sheng, intimidated by the glare, shrank his neck back and quickly chuckled, rubbing his hands together as he explained: "It's... it's nothing. Boss, we're just surprised, that's all."

Ning Yuan raised an eyebrow, his gaze shifting to Jiang Mingyue beside him, who was uncharacteristically showing a gossipy expression.

"Go on. For someone like you, an ice block, to know about her, this person must be quite something."

Jiang Mingyue, hearing this, rolled her eyes at him.

But this time, she surprisingly didn't retort with a sarcastic remark. Instead, she took the initiative to explain.

"You know about the Star Spirit Clan, right?"

Ning Yuan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

The Star Spirit Clan?

He knew them all too well.

Back then, in order to find the cultivation technique most compatible with his Star Sacred Bone, his grandfather had made a secret deal with the Star Spirit Clan, which was how he obtained that Star Immortality Technique.

As for the specific details of the transaction, he had no idea.

Seeing him nod, Jiang Mingyue continued: "Our human race rose from our ancestral star. Over ten thousand years, we have endured countless hardships. In that dark era, most of the powerful races in the starry sky held hostility towards us. But, there are always exceptions. Some peace-loving races extended a helping hand to us."

"The Star Spirit Clan was one of them. Today, they are also one of our human race's staunchest allies."

"This race is born with the innate ability to control stellar spiritual power. Their appearance is extremely similar to ours, with the only difference being a diamond-shaped stellar crystal naturally present on their foreheads..."

As she spoke, a trace of goodwill couldn't help but show in her eyes.

Because in her previous life, when the human race faced annihilation and was besieged by myriad races, the already declining Star Spirit Clan did not choose to kick us while we were down.

Although, in the end, due to insufficient strength, they chose to protect themselves.

But in that situation where everyone attacks when the wall is falling, managing to do even that was truly commendable and worthy of respect.

Ning Yuan grew somewhat impatient listening and directly waved his hand to cut her off.

"Stop, stop, stop. Get to the point. Just tell me directly who this Ling Wanhe is."

He naturally knew all these general facts about the Star Spirit Clan.

Seeing this, Zhou Qi hurriedly chimed in, his tone filled with boundless admiration and worship.

"Boss! Senior Ling Wanhe is the undisputed, one and only goddess of our entire Great Xia Martial Academy!"

"Her beauty is peerless, pure and ethereal, like a fairy descending from the Ninth Heaven to the mortal world! Her talent is even more unparalleled throughout the ages..."

Ning Yuan interrupted him with an expressionless face.

"Alright, Simp Number One, you can step back now. Next."

Saying this, he turned his gaze towards Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng quickly picked up the thread, his tone equally filled with infatuation.

"Boss, Senior Ling Wanhe's strength is even more unfathomable! It's said her current cultivation has already stepped into the fifth rank, but her actual combat power has reached an extremely terrifying level! In our Transcendent Academy, many of the foreign prodigies who have already reached the Heavenly rank, which is the sixth rank, are no match for her in a single exchange!"

"Everyone says that once Goddess Ling's cultivation also smoothly breaks through to the sixth rank, she will definitely be solidly in the top three, maybe even number one, in our entire Transcendent Academy!"

"Moreover, it's said that wherever Goddess Ling passes, starlight diffuses around her, capable of reviving withered grass, rejuvenating all things, making people feel as if bathed in a spring breeze..."

Ning Yuan listened with a face full of speechlessness.

"Alright, Simp Number Two, you can step back too. Next."

He shifted his gaze to Jiang Mingyue.

Jiang Mingyue snorted lightly, a trace of inexplicable meaning in her eyes.

"Why are you asking about her?"

Ning Yuan replied matter-of-factly:

"Of course, I want to know where I can find her."

Jiang Mingyue suddenly felt a bit displeased in her heart.

Just now, listening to Lu Sheng and Zhou Qi praising that Ling Wanhe to the skies, a rare competitive spirit had arisen in her heart.

What a joke!

In her previous life, who didn't know that she, the Bright Moon Martial Saint, not only possessed combat power unmatched among her peers, but her beauty was also hailed as peerless across the starry sea, unparalleled throughout the ages!

However, she had to admit.

That person called Ling Wanhe was indeed not simple.

In her previous life, she too had successfully ascended to the Saint realm, though her strength was still just a little bit inferior to her own.

Thinking of this, Jiang Mingyue's mood improved slightly. She said in a flat tone:

"Then I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. Your so-called Goddess Ling is always elusive, appearing and disappearing without a trace. Finding her won't be that easy."

Ning Yuan scratched his head, feeling troubled.

If he couldn't find her, how was he supposed to complete this task of adding her on Heavenly Communication?

His appearance, seen through Jiang Mingyue's eyes, was naturally labeled as "Simp Number Three."

She sneered inwardly, her gaze sweeping over the three men before her.

Men, they're all the same!

Just then, Zhou Qi beside them suddenly brightened up and said with a smile:

"Boss! If you want to find Goddess Ling, it's actually very simple! The Academy Tournament three days from now—she's definitely going to participate!"

Ning Yuan's eyes instantly lit up upon hearing this.

Right!

How could he have forgotten about that!

Excellent, excellent! Then I'll just wait for the rabbit by the tree stump!

Three days—he could definitely wait that long.

As for how to add her on Heavenly Communication when the time comes... don't ask. Just know that the cart will find its way around the hill when it gets there.

"Let's go! Today, your boss is in a good mood. Young Master Ning is paying for everything! To the Academy's Starlight Restaurant, let's go!"

Having figured it out, Ning Yuan was in high spirits. With a grand wave of his hand, he declared magnanimously.

Zhou Qi and Lu Sheng immediately cheered upon hearing this.

"Let's go! Time to feast on the big spender again today!"

Jiang Mingyue watched the three laughing and joking before her, feeling her teeth beginning to itch again.

Especially seeing Ning Yuan show such keen interest in that Ling Wanhe, she felt an inexplicable wave of displeasure in her heart.

As soon as this thought arose, it startled even herself.

Immediately after, she snorted coldly in her heart, finding an excuse for herself.

"Hmph! This guy is, after all, my future number one underling! As his big brother, what's wrong with me keeping an eye out for him in advance? Absolutely nothing!"

Remembering how a few days ago, she had secretly tested Ning Yuan only to find his strength still as unfathomable as ever, she felt waves of helplessness.

It seemed that in the Qi and Blood Realm stage, she really had no hope of surpassing him.

"Hmph! I'll eat you poor!"

She thought viciously.

...

Time passed.

After gaining another tenfold increase in aptitude, Ning Yuan's cultivation became even smoother.

He didn't even need the three days he had estimated.

It took only a little over two days.

The final barrier of one million jin blocking his path was effortlessly broken through as naturally as water flowing in its course!

The one hundred blood dragon pills advanced by the system had long been consumed by him.

Even the heavenly bear pills given by his grandmother had been taken by him, one batch after another, totaling over a hundred bottles.

And the results were remarkable!

As the final Starry Sky Dragon Elephant Particles in his body finally took shape.

A full one thousand!

In an instant.

These one thousand particles, brilliant like stars, seemed drawn by some mysterious force. They connected end to end, forming a perfect cycle, constituting an inseparable whole!

They vibrated simultaneously.

An unprecedented, vast and boundless Qi and Blood power erupted explosively!

One hundred million jin!

The phantom of the immortal ancient star behind Ning Yuan, at this moment, completely transformed from illusory to real, becoming as solid as substance.

Merely the pressure emanating from this phenomenon was enough to easily suppress those so-called top Prodigys in the starry sky.

He could even condense a phantom of an ancient dragon elephant imbued with supreme dragon elephant divine power, augmenting himself, making his strength even more violent, even more domineering!

His physical body shone with flowing treasure light, his blood energy like radiant mist.

At this moment, it had already reached an unprecedented, perfect state!

"I have a premonition that one hundred million jin is the true perfect state of the Qi and Blood Realm!"

"From now on, no one will ever be able to surpass it!"

Ning Yuan slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, sighing sincerely.

He reveled in the unprecedented feeling of strength and comfort within his body.

"Next, it's the Extraordinary realm!"

His eyes were filled with anticipation.

With such an abnormally powerful foundation, what kind of terrifying spectacle would it be when he opened his essence sea?

"In this life, our human race will definitely ascend to the pinnacle of the starry sky, becoming the strongest among all races!"

"I said so!"
