67: Chapter 65: Star Orb

"An Earth Contract Student who is relatively strong? From Wuling City?" Xing Ye quickly pondered, a large amount of data on martial arts geniuses flashing through his mind.

As the manager in charge of 'Martial Artist recruitment and the cultivation of rookie Martial Artists'

one of his responsibilities was to compete with other Martial Artist groups within the scope of Wuling City for those promising martial arts geniuses.

Students who awakened an Upper Astral Constellation during middle school, or were admitted to Crescent Martial Arts University, the Top Ten Key Martial Arts Universities, and thirty first-class martial arts universities during the college entrance examination were all targets to fight for.

It was just that the degree of resource inclination varied.

Huguang Martial Arts University students? Most of them were not worth Xinghe Group signing contracts with in advance.

However, Earth Contract Students were an exception... The path of martial arts was long, and the college entrance examination was merely an assessment of the first three years of martial arts.

In the history of the Blue Moon Civilization, many martial arts geniuses gradually blossomed after entering university, which was why there were degree-upgrade examinations and graduate examinations... From multiple angles such as strength and potential, the Earth Contract Students of Huguang Martial Arts University could already catch up to the elite students of the thirty first-class martial arts universities.

This type of student also belonged to the targets they needed to strive to sign.

"Old Wang, are you kidding me?" Xing Ye frowned and said, "In Wuling City, there are currently fewer than ten Earth Contract Students from Huguang Martial Arts University, and they have all already signed contracts with various Martial Artist groups."

"Haha."

"The person I want to introduce has not yet signed an Earth Contract with Huguang Martial Arts University." Chairman Wang XunDao laughed: "But it's almost time, I will transmit his information to you."

"Oh? Someone who just popped up?" Xing Ye's eyes lit up: "Quickly send it over."

Swiftly.

Chairman Wang XunDao transmitted some of Fang Yu's information, the information Wang Mo had learned these past few days, as well as the speculations of Wang Mo and Gu Qing, all to Xing Ye.

"Fang Yu has quite high skill talent, tsk tsk, not bad."

Xing Ye quickly browsed through it, and the more he read, the more interested he became. When he saw the family background column, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help saying: "Fang Long and Fang Siyue's eldest brother?"

"Correct." Chairman Wang XunDao smiled and said: "You shouldn't be unfamiliar with these two people."

Xing Ye nodded.

He was naturally not unfamiliar with them. Among this year's new high school freshmen, there were only a few Upper Astral Constellation students signed through his hands... Since Fang Long and Fang Siyue were even twins, how could he possibly not remember them.

Back then, he even specifically received the two siblings.

However, at that time he didn't know that the other party actually had such a formidable eldest brother.

"This family of people."

"It's a bit interesting." Xing Ye revealed a smile: "Old Wang, if the speculations in the data you gave are true and this Fang Yu has truly awakened a Star Phase, then his potential might even be higher than his younger brother and sister's."

"Oh? Why? Fang Long and Fang Siyue are both Upper Astral Constellation holders, you know." Chairman Wang XunDao's face revealed curiosity.

"The Star Phase is only one aspect of talent." Xing Ye explained: "You also know that over the years, many Upper Astral Constellation students have mediocre skill talents and ultimately stop at level 39... In fact, they fall far short of the group's expectations."

"I've heard of it." Chairman Wang XunDao nodded.

"What the group wants most are geniuses whose Star Phase and skills are both extremely strong." Xing Ye smiled and said: "The next tier consists of martial arts geniuses with extremely strong skills and upper-middle Star Phases."

"Mm."

"A slightly weaker Star Phase doesn't affect becoming an Earth Martial Artist or Sky-Patrol Martial Artist." Chairman Wang XunDao seemed to react: "But if the skill talent is too low, one can't even become an Earth Martial Artist."

"Haha, right, that's exactly what I mean." Xing Ye smiled.

Chairman Wang XunDao wore a look of sudden realization.

How could he not understand these principles? However, letting Xing Ye say it to satisfy the other party's desire to be a teacher was a very high-level way of communication.

"Alright."

"Old Wang, I will arrange for someone to verify this as soon as possible." Xing Ye said: "Regardless of whether we can seize the lead to sign him before other groups, I will thank you in advance."

"Haha, what's there to thank between brothers?"

...

Wilderness Area, edge of the Beiyan Mountain Range.

Nearly 9 AM.

Beneath a rather secluded cliff, the members of the Chiyan Team were resting and recuperating. Bai Chen and Xiong Meng were both surrounding Xia Yao, having just finished bandaging her.

"How is it?" Fang Yu, who had already changed into a backup combat suit and simply washed up at a small pond not far away, came over with considerable worry.

Although Xia Yao did not die on the spot like Gu Ming,

her injuries were not light either. There was a shocking claw mark on her face, and both her arm and thigh had been bitten by a Wind Wolf, and even her tough combat suit had been torn open with several wounds.

"I won't die." Xia Yao still had the leisure to smile, though her complexion was somewhat pale.

"Fortunately." Bai Chen looked at Fang Yu and said in a low voice: "None of the injuries Xia Yao sustained were fatal. For the two wounds, the combat suit neutralized most of the force, and the bleeding volume of the wounds wasn't large. We just bandaged them and administered medicine, which has alleviated things quite a bit."

"It's just that a few bones are shattered, making it basically impossible to move. We have to return to the base for treatment." Bai Chen said: "The base's 'medical room' can quickly recover injuries."

Fang Yu nodded slightly.

The medical standards of the Starry Sky Base far exceeded Blue Star. As long as it wasn't instant death, basically everyone could be saved... Broken bones and the like might take twenty or thirty days to recover on Blue Star, and there were often many hidden dangers afterwards.

Yet the medical room of the Starry Sky Base could allow a Martial Artist to recover faster and achieve basically no sequelae.

However,

Xia Yao definitely couldn't continue with this actual combat exercise.

And for the facial injury, Fang Yu wasn't certain whether the base's medical room could perfectly eliminate the scar... Any woman loved beauty after all.

Fang Yu's gaze swept across the other teammates again, who all had injuries to varying degrees, which made the anger in his heart burn even fiercer.

"Xia Tao." Fang Yu silently recited in his heart, carrying a trace of killing intent: "Over and over again, snatching treasures is one thing, but you almost implicated our entire team in total annihilation."

If they had only been inadvertently affected, Fang Yu wouldn't have been so angry.

Everyone sought to survive.

However, it was clearly trouble stirred up by the other party, yet when it came down to it, the other party ran away first? If he hadn't comprehended the Micro-realm Secret Technique, everyone besides himself would have died completely.

"Fang Yu, we were in a rush to collect the spoils of war just now and haven't had time to ask you yet, how did you defeat the Wolf King?" Bai Chen couldn't help asking.

Qin Yang, Xiong Meng, and even Xia Yao lying down to rest all couldn't help looking at Fang Yu.

"Micro-realm Secret Technique." Fang Yu said directly.

"As expected!" Xiong Meng's eyes lit up, and he said with considerable emotion: "It really is the legendary secret technique. Brother Fang, you are truly too perverted! Having a Micro-level Blade Technique was one thing, but you actually even mastered a secret technique. I even suspect that you didn't come up via a degree-upgrade examination, but were expelled from a key university and ran over here to audit our classes as a transfer student."

"Haha."

"Truly fierce." Qin Yang and Xia Yao both revealed smiles.

"Thinking about it, it's also normal." Bai Chen said: "Fang Yu achieved a Micro-level Blade Technique when he was level 20, which shows that his skill talent is exaggeratedly high."

"After Awakening his Star Phase, his life level skyrocketed, and his Mental Energy also improved quite a bit. His control over his body's force vastly improved, so his skills could naturally improve... The higher this life level, the easier it is to improve skills."

Everyone couldn't help nodding.

"That's still extremely perverted."

"According to what the teachers said in class," Xiong Meng sighed emotionally: "During our time in university, our Cultivate time is short, and achieving Major Achievement in the micro-realm is very difficult... Before the age of 30, being able to become a Senior Martial Artist and achieve a Micro-level Blade Technique is already considered pretty good."

"Before the age of 40, being able to master a secret technique counts as success."

Age 30, age 40... Comparing this to Fang Yu's age of 21,

the gap in talent was evident.

"Right now, in our school, even the Earth Academy students in their fifth year—who knows if any of them have mastered a Micro-realm Secret Technique." Xia Yao asked curiously.

"There definitely are, and even stronger ones." Bai Chen smiled and said: "Don't forget, fifth-year student Yan Tianheng is a ruthless person who broke into the finals of the Blue Moon High School Tournament back when he was in his fourth year. I heard from a fifth-year student that Yan Tianheng's skills reached the Inner Scenery level long ago."

"Inner Scenery? Damn!"

"Oh right! I forgot about him."

"The guy who won one hundred million Star Coins?"

"So much money." Everyone obviously knew Yan Tianheng and felt a bit emotional and sighing. Like Xia Yao and Xiong Meng, their physical skills had not yet reached Major Achievement in the micro-realm.

Inner Scenery? That was too far away!

Fang Yu was also listening from the side.

Yan Tianheng was someone Wang Mo had mentioned when they had dinner a few days ago... Currently recognized as the strongest student of Huguang Martial Arts University, he was rumored to be at level 39 with an extremely high skill level. In terms of strength, he wasn't inferior to many teachers at the school.

Even compared to some students from Crescent Martial Arts University, he was not inferior in the slightest.

He was a rare martial arts Genius of Huguang Martial Arts University, and becoming an Earth Martial Artist in the future was practically a nailed-down certainty.

"Right."

"Fang Yu, take this thing." Bai Chen flipped his palm and handed over a emerald-green jade stone, the size of a palm, exuding a hazy glow like an emerald.

Fang Yu reached out and took it.

The moment it touched his hand, Fang Yu felt all 46 star apertures throughout his body trembling faintly, as if cheering and leaping with joy, just like a Vicious Beast smelling the scent of blood.

"Star Jade?" Fang Yu's pupils constricted.

"It should be." Bai Chen nodded.

"Star Jade?" Xia Yao's eyes lit up.

"I was still guessing just now, but I didn't dare to imagine at all that a probation base could produce this kind of treasure?" Qin Yang smiled and said: "Risking our lives this time can be considered worth it. A level-30 Fire-eyed Black Wolf, such a large piece of star jade... We've made a huge profit."

Fang Yu also couldn't help taking a deep breath.

Treasures like red star grass and dragon-shaped grass contained massive amounts of Star Power and had astonishing value. They could be made into special medicines to help Martial Artists Cultivate.

Star jade was also a similar treasure.

It was a special Ore containing extremely astonishing Star Power, surpassing red star grass and dragon-shaped grass by unknown multiples. Its uses were broader, and its value was even more astonishing.

"Before, I had only seen star jade in the school's 'treasure probation room'." Bai Chen smiled: "That piece had a market price of 4 million Star Coins... and it wasn't as big or as bright as this piece of ours."

"I reckon this piece of ours can be worth at least 8 million Star Coins."
