41: Breakthrough Level 4
Lin Ye's breakthrough to the Fourth Level occurred without any hitches.
In terms of physical body, his physical body was invincible.
In terms of Star Power, with the Star Child's bonus, his Star Power was also terrifying.
In terms of realm, he had mastered so many skills at the Third Level; was there anyone whose realm was higher than his?
In terms of abilities, he had mastered all of them to the Divine Realm.
So, this breakthrough was as easy as eating and drinking, even smoother than Dove chocolate.
After breaking through, Lin Ye adapted to his body.
It must be said that the Fourth Level and the Seventh Level were both huge thresholds.
From the changes Lin Ye experienced, there was a world of difference compared to before.
If the physical body and Star Power of the Third Level were likened to 1, then the physical body and Star Power of the Fourth Level were 10.
He had to thank the Energy Diagram for this rapid breakthrough; with the enhancement of so many minor mastery skills, the Energy Diagram advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching minor mastery early.
Naturally, cultivating the minor mastery level Energy Diagram was quick.
Lin Ye felt it, frowning slightly, because the skill points didn't change much, only becoming thirty-five points per day.
Recalling the changes in skill points, it seemed only about five points were added per level, with the rest coming from the Muscle Master and the dream's enhancement.
Fortunately, he wasn't short on skill points now, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
He decided to return to Modu to absorb the Gas Source Flow for his fourth ability.
He bid farewell to his elders in the sect one by one; Fourth Martial Aunt was reluctant to part with him. During this time, Lin Ye's presence allowed her to remember someone dear, which was a comfort. Now that Lin Ye was leaving, she would have to bear the pain of longing again.
Lin Ye increasingly felt like he was born to be like Fish Brother, secretly warning himself not to harm others to avoid creating karmic debt.
"Lin Ye, now that you're leaving, come stay for a while every year. Grandmaster will give you special tutoring. Also, don't forget your cultivation on the professional stage. Now that you're at the Fourth Level, don't rush to cultivate Star Level skills; that's not efficient. Strive to master all your existing gold-level skills first," Grandmaster advised earnestly.
Lin Ye held great respect for his Grandmaster, who had cared for him so much.
He quickly agreed, said a few more words to everyone, and then left.
"He's gone, stop looking," Zhao Man softly said to Jiang Xin.
"Ah? I wasn't," Jiang Xin instinctively retorted, her eyes darting away, her face flushing with embarrassment.
Zhao Man looked at Jiang Xin before her, seemingly seeing herself, but Jiang Xin still had many opportunities, while she herself had already completely lost.
Although he didn't take the special express train for powerful cultivators this time, the speed was still not slow; he arrived in Modu by afternoon.
"Xiao Yezi, did you miss your Fish Brother?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked with a mischievous grin, wrapping an arm around him.
"Of course I missed Fish Brother! Without seeing Fish Brother, I couldn't eat or sleep!" Lin Ye chuckled, teasing him.
"Oh, please. You had a beautiful senior sister accompanying you every day over there. You only couldn't eat or sleep after you left her, right?"
With the Third Martial Brother, who liked to secretly take photos, often sharing them in the group chat, Jiang Xiaoyu was extremely well-informed about Lin Ye's life.
And in every photo of Lin Ye, Jiang Xin's figure was inevitably present.
The veterans in the group naturally saw Jiang Xin's feelings for Lin Ye clearly and joked about keeping the good fortune within the family.
Lin Ye was momentarily stunned, then replied, "Indeed, Senior Sister took special care of me."
Jiang Xiaoyu's handsome peach blossom eyes rolled at him. "You rascal, don't tell me you didn't notice your Senior Sister has feelings for you."
"Ah? I really hadn't thought of that. Didn't Senior Sister hang out with me because we're the only two of the same age in the sect?" Lin Ye recalled, realizing that if he looked at it from a different perspective, it indeed made sense.
He felt a little secretly pleased, yet also somewhat at a loss. No man could refuse a beautiful senior sister liking him, but his interest in martial arts cultivation far outweighed his interest in women right now.
His feelings for Senior Sister were mostly that of a senior sister; it was normal to appreciate her beauty.
Lin Ye was not a paragon of virtue; he would still glance at those with highAppearance and good figures, enjoying himself.
"Alright, you rascal, so you're treating others as brothers, huh?"
Jiang Xiaoyu was exasperated. He, Jiang Xiaoyu, the master of romance, actually had such an idiotic disciple. This was truly a misfortune for the sect. No, he had to give him a good remedial lesson.
Jiang Xiaoyu began to give Lin Ye an intensive crash course in romantic knowledge, teaching him how to identify beautiful women, analyze personalities, use sweet talk, be persistent, and handle love triangles, among other things.
Lin Ye listened with great interest, feeling truly enlightened. He was also quite curious about this 'scumbag' perspective.
(Important note: There is truly no female lead in this novel. Writing this is not to pad the word count, but because the romantic scene is something everyone will definitely experience.)
However, there were still important matters to attend to. He told Fish Brother and then rushed to the Modu Education Bureau to absorb the Gas Source Flow.
The Gas Source Flow was the reward for being first in the New Student Grand Competition, and he had already scheduled his absorption a few days prior.
Originally, he wanted to absorb Star Force Body Armor or Undying Soul; Prosperity Group had already prepared them for him.
But after Star Force reached the Divine Realm, Star Force Body Armor could already slightly replace its function, and while Undying Soul was prepared, it was more for defending against Soul attacks.
He didn't really need it at the moment.
The same went for Intuition; he hadn't started cultivating Star Level skills yet.
Moreover, Gas Source Flow and Star Child could stack.
Gas Source Flow and Star Child were not redundant; he had asked Grandmaster.
If Star Power were likened to a pool, Gas Source Flow would be expanding this pool, expanding the inlet of this pool.
And Star Child would be a slight increase in pool capacity, and a significant increase in rainfall.
Relying on the Star Child's affinity, Star Power would flock to its possessor like swallows returning to their nest.
So, combining the two resulted in a geometric increase.
After Lin Ye absorbed it, he felt his Star Power had increased by more than fifty percent. It was said that once Gas Source Flow reached the Divine Realm, it could increase the amount by tenfold, and the increase in absorption recovery speed was even more absurd.
Lin Ye decided to quickly add points to it to reach the Divine Realm level.
He would temporarily put aside Xiao Bai's Space Control; he didn't plan to expose this on the professional stage, considering it his trump card.
Next, having reached the Fourth Level, he would enter the professional arena to battle.
Jiang Xiaoyu said he would let him play in the minor league first to adapt to the intensity of the matches, play for one season, and then enter the first team.
This was quite incredible; the first team's battlefields were mostly for Fifth and Sixth Levels, while Lin Ye was only at the Fourth Level.
But Lin Ye could already fight above his level at the Third Level. After breaking through to the Fourth Level, his Star Power was naturally no longer qualitatively different from others, and the difficulty of fighting above his level actually decreased.
Jiang Xiaoyu clearly knew Lin Ye's strength. The reason he let him play in the minor league was also to build momentum for him.
Entering the professional arena with the title of being undefeated throughout the minor league was a different concept from entering without any reputation.
Lin Ye was also fully preparing for battle and began to interact with the second team. The second team initially resented this parachuted player, but after Lin Ye defeated them all with one hand, they became incredibly adoring.
He began to train coordination with the second team.
Prosperity supported three teams and a group of youth training seed players.
Among them, the second and third teams were all Fourth Level, some still students, playing in the minor league.
Only the first team entered the professional league, participating in official matches.
