37: Chapter 37 The Annihilation Divine Light of Little Star Abyss

Listening to the system's still-idiotic notification tone, Ning Yuan automatically filtered out the preceding nonsense.

The number one Prodigy of the Starry Sky waiting for me?

If I dared to call myself number two in the starry sky right now, which blind fool would dare to step up and claim number one?

He focused his attention on the mission reward this time.

When he saw the content of the reward, the joy on his face instantly bloomed uncontrollably.

Originally, he thought this reward should be a simple aptitude improvement, just like last time.

But he never expected there would be an additional surprise!

"Comfortable! brother tongzi, looks like you can actually understand human speech after all!"

Ning Yuan praised sincerely in his heart.

A chance to use the Epiphany Space!

Isn't this exactly what I can use to solve the most troublesome problem of my follow-up cultivation technique?

I was just worried that the Myriad Tribulations Star Dome Dragon Elephant Scripture only had the Qi and Blood chapter, and brother tongzi delivered the pillow right to my doorstep!

"However, there's no need to rush this matter."

He quickly calmed down, having made a decision in his heart.

"It's best to wait until I have completely cultivated my Qi and Blood Realm cultivation to the perfect limit of one hundred million jin, when my comprehension of this realm reaches its deepest, most peak state, before using this epiphany opportunity."

"Only then will I have the greatest chance of deducing the most perfect Transcendent chapter!"

"Moreover... if I use it right now in the dorm, what if I cause another earth-shattering commotion? That would really be a pain."

"Better to wait until after entering that Ancient Ruin to use it. Perhaps the unique spatial laws inside the ruin can perfectly conceal all anomalies."

Ning Yuan clearly knew that those true secret realms or ruins left behind from ancient, even primordial times, formed their own worlds within, possessing rule systems completely different from the current starry sea.

Doing a little something there would actually be the least likely to be detected by the outside world.

Having made up his mind, Ning Yuan first temporarily kept the "Epiphany Space Usage Opportunity," then without hesitation, claimed the other reward.

"Claim, tenfold aptitude increase!"

In an instant.

A surge of mysterious power, even more vast and profound than the previous two times, like the Silver River of the Nine Heavens pouring down, violently flooded into his limbs and bones, finally converging into the deepest part of his skeleton!

The Star Sacred Bone within his body trembled violently once again.

The mysterious and unpredictable star chart on it, radiant and colorful, actually had a brand new corner completely lit up and perfected.

Boom!

In Ning Yuan's mind, a grand scene of the universe being created and stars being born seemed to flash by!

A torrent of information, as if innate, quietly awakened from the deepest part of his bloodline.

It was a supreme secret art unique to the enhanced Star Sacred Bone!

Its name was—Lesser Star Abyss Annihilation Divine Light!

Ning Yuan carefully contemplated the profundity of this secret art, the delight on his face growing even stronger.

This secret art used the origin power of his own Star Sacred Bone as a guide to condense a ray of Annihilation Divine Light!

This light could melt and destroy anything!

Whether it was a sturdy physical body or aillusory soul, once struck by it, would turn into nothingness amidst annihilation!

Driven by Ning Yuan's currently terrifyingly extreme Qi and Blood foundation, its power was so strong that the vast majority of Transcendent Realm martial artists couldn't withstand it. Blasting someone into dust with one strike was no joke.

"And this is only the 'Lesser Star Abyss.' When my cultivation realm deepens further in the future and my Star Bone becomes more complete, this secret art can evolve further into the 'Great Star Abyss Annihilation Divine Light'! By then, I could even draw upon the origin power of the myriad stars in the universe. Its power will become even more terrifying!"

This was the inheritance secret art that came with a top-tier Saint Bone.

Not only was it perfectly compatible with oneself, but it could also continuously grow stronger as one's own power increased.

Even if I ascend to the Martial Saint realm in the future, it will still be of great use!

"Good, good, good! brother tongzi, please do your best! Strive to help me boost my aptitude to a hundredfold increase as soon as possible! I really want to see what kind of spectacle that will be on that day!"

Ning Yuan's heart was filled with anticipation.

Now, he already possessed a thirtyfold Star Sacred Bone.

With this aptitude, he estimated it was enough to utterly crush all the Prodigys among the Ten Thousand Races of the Starry Sky throughout history.

If it truly reached a hundredfold...

He simply couldn't imagine!

That would undoubtedly shatter the shackles of the "Saint Bone" level, reaching a brand new realm never touched by anyone in the history of the starry sea!

Satisfied, he stretched lazily, ready to step out of the room to see what his little brothers were up to.

But the system's voice rang out in his mind once again.

[Congratulations, Host, your cultivation has reached the Advanced Warrior Realm! You finally have a tiny bit of respectable confidence! Now, within the Qi and Blood Academy where experts are as numerous as clouds, you are beginning to gradually reveal your own brilliance! But do you still remember that white-clad maiden who saved your life like an ethereal fairy when you were on the brink of death?]

[Side Quest issued: Please gather your courage and add Ling Wanhe on Heavenly Communication!]

[As an aspiring good-for-nothing, you must have grand dreams! Now, you possess a tiny bit of qualification to chase after her silhouette! Great buildings rise from the ground, don't be timid, just do it! Go for it, young man!]

Ning Yuan was instantly dumbfounded.

Slowly, a question mark formed on his face.

"?"

little system, are you out of your mind?

When have I ever been on the brink of death in all my life?

And who is this Ling Wanhe that popped out of some obscure corner?

He felt a bit of a headache.

Wow, this good-for-nothing reversal script is really standard.

Even the standard "white moonlight" harem heroine has been arranged, right?

"brother tongzi, come here, let's have a good chat. Are you sure you're called the 'Good-for-Nothing Reversal System' and not the 'Ultimate Simp System'? Taking the initiative to add her on Heavenly Communication? You might not care about face, but I do!"

Ning Yuan crazilyMake complaints the system in his heart.

The system once again chose a cold, silent response.

Ning Yuan snorted lightly and ultimately couldn't be bothered to waste more words on this idiot.

"Alright, judging by the logic of the idiot system, this Ling Wanhe should currently be in the Great Xia Martial Academy, and is probably quite a prominent figure."

"Sigh, whatever, for the sake of the mission reward, I'll endure it!"

He pushed open the door and walked out.

Coincidentally, Lu Sheng rushed in from outside the villa like a gust of wind.

"Boss! Boss! Breaking news!"

His excited loud voice startled Wang Zai and White Moon, who were playing on the sofa.

Wang Zai was riding on White Moon's head, acting like a tyrant. Startled by the shout, he jolted and fell right off White Moon's head, barking in dissatisfaction.

White Moon also bared her cute little fangs, complaining that Lu Sheng had disturbed their "boss's" elegant mood.

Meanwhile, Jiang Mingyue, who was sitting on the sofa reading a book, rolled her eyes fiercely.

She had tried several times to stop the little fox from being such a simp, but it was useless, so she simply let it be.

But Ning Yuan remained completely calm.

"Old Fourth, calm down!"

He walked to the sofa and plopped down casually.

"I've told you so many times, you need to be like me, your boss, and maintain a calm and unflappable mindset at all times. Only then can you achieve great things!"

Then, he leisurely asked:

"Alright, speak up. What has got you so excited?"

Lu Sheng grinned.

"Boss! The official notice for the Academy Tournament is out!"

"It starts officially in three days!"

"The top hundred from the Qi and Blood Academy and the top thousand from the Transcendent Academy will all qualify to enter an Ancient Ruin!"

"I also heard through the grapevine that inside that ruin, there are heaven-defying items that can help warriors forge a supreme Transcendent foundation!"

Jiang Mingyue's eyes instantly lit up.

She was already approaching the limit of eighteen million jin and could step into the Transcendent Realm at any time.

This ruin was like a pillow delivered just as she was getting sleepy!

She was already rubbing her hands together in anticipation.

"This Ancient Ruin seems tailor-made for me!"

However, a trace of doubt also arose in her heart.

At this point in time in her previous life, she hadn't heard of such an important ruin appearing on Ancestral Star.

Could it also be due to those previous cosmic anomalies?

She felt somewhat helpless.

Her rebirth seemed to have triggered butterfly effects that were a bit too large.

So large that it caught her somewhat off guard.

She was even a bit worried that this might cause the human race to be targeted by the Ten Thousand Races ahead of schedule.

"But it doesn't matter. As long as my own strength is sufficiently powerful, all plots and schemes will be nothing but clay chickens and pottery dogs!"

Her eyes once again filled withHigh morale.

Looking at his three extremely excited little brothers, Ning Yuan chuckled lightly.

"Since you all know now, you should spend some free time in the library during this period researching records about the Ancient Dragon Clan."

The time was about right.

As the boss, he couldn't hog all the benefits for himself.

Happiness enjoyed alone is not as good as happiness shared.

He couldn't say too much in detail, but giving them a hint like this was enough.

Upon hearing this, the three of them were stunned.

Zhou Qi cautiously probed, "Boss, do you mean... that ruin..."

Ning Yuan once again put on that profound and inscrutable expression, interrupting him.

"The Buddha said, it cannot be spoken."

The three instantly understood, their eyes revealing looks of immense gratitude.

Truly worthy of being the boss!

He was even willing to share such top-secret intelligence with them.

As if suddenly remembering something, Ning Yuan asked Zhou Qi, who was the most well-informed:

"By the way, Third Brother, let me ask you about someone. Do you know if there's someone in our academy named Ling Wanhe?"

As soon as the words left his mouth.

The villa's living room instantly fell into an eerie silence.

Lu Sheng, Zhou Qi, and even the usually aloof Jiang Mingyue were now staring at him with the look one gives a country bumpkin.

Zhou Qi even exclaimed in an exaggerated tone:

"No way, boss?!"

"You don't know Ling Wanhe?!"
