82: Chapter 82 Superior-Subordinate Relationship

Speculation on the internet was endless, but the final conclusion was that Su He had created it herself.

"This lass is truly interesting; she can actually bring about so many surprises." Elder Xuan smiled slightly, feeling very satisfied with her.

"It is a pity. Her technique is only in its initial stages and still has obvious flaws; otherwise, the outcome would be uncertain." Ye Jianxing shook his head slightly, feeling some regret.

"Isn't that enough? Old Ye, your standards for her are too high. She is still just a twenty-year-old student!" Yue Shanhai said.

"If we are talking about this year… she is turning twenty-one." Ye Jianxing mused for a moment.

"Go away, go away. Who is talking to you about that?" Yue Shanhai turned his head away, too lazy to argue with him.

On the battlefield, Su He staggered to her feet, a smile appearing on her cold face.

"So, you can get injured too," she teased.

This move of Su He's was not just as simple as injuring Ye Jianxing; it also shattered the filter in everyone's hearts.

How astonishing had Ye Jianxing's performance been before? Even when his opponents exhausted all their trump cards, they still couldn't harm him in the slightest.

This caused many to feel despair, believing that let alone defeating him, even making him bleed was an impossible feat.

But Su He shattered this filter, finally making the world understand that no matter what, he was still human and could bleed!

"Sister Xing is awesome!"

"Sister Xing is mighty!"

"Go, keep slapping his face!"

"..."

In the corridor, the crowd from Tianhe Academy shouted excitedly, even though the other party couldn't hear their voices.

"Awesome! No wonder there are rumors that Senior Sister Xinghe is the number one person in the academy. Even some senior students in the Divine Ability Realm might not necessarily be her match!" Qin Feng gave a thumbs up.

"If it's a situation where she goes all out, Senior Sister Xinghe can elevate herself to the Divine Ability Realm, using the Small Divine Ability Realm to fight the Great Divine Ability Realm. But if it's an A-rank senior, the chances of winning aren't high because they also possess Divine Abilities," Lin Qingyao said.

"Damn, that's still awesome. Those seniors have already reached the Spirit Seed Realm after activating their Natal Treasures and Innate Divine Abilities!" Qin Feng exclaimed.

High in the sky, Ye Jianxing raised his hand to wipe away the bloodstains on his cheek, but the scar had already disappeared.

This was the formidable aspect of the Body Refining Battle Technique he Cultivated: the Astral Body Refining Art. Once reaching his Realm, as long as it wasn't a major injury, he could repair it directly.

However, Su He's Starlight Body Refining Art was much inferior, and could even be considered a subordinate substitute for the Astral Body Refining Art.

But this was normal; the former was a Battle Technique belonging to the Alliance, while the latter was recorded within the academy. Which one was stronger was clear at a glance.

"Good, come on." Su He stood up, her disheveled figure appearing imposing at this moment.

"Astral, Radiance!"

She summoned one of her Natal Treasures—the Star Compass.

A circular disk, engraved with the sea of stars and reflecting starlight, hung behind Su He's head, emitting a sacred radiance.

Seeing this, Ye Jianxing also moved, but this time it wasn't the sword-nurturing gourd, but another item—the ancient stellar painting.

It was a painting depicting the vast starry sky, with planets, stars, black holes, galaxies, and so on, without a single omission.

Su He hung high in the air, and with the help of the Star Compass, their attributes matched, creating a resonance.

Not only was her cultivation elevated to the Divine Ability Realm, but even her various Battle Techniques had their efficiency greatly increased due to the attribute resonance.

For example, with the Starlight Body Refining Art, the injuries on Su He's body were rapidly healing, comparable to the Astral Body Refining Art.

"Hum!"

The world dimmed, and light radiated from one person—that was Ye Jianxing opposite her.

Under the augmentation of the ancient stellar painting, Ye Jianxing also reached the Divine Ability Realm, becoming a Small Divine Ability user, and his efficiency was significantly improved.

"Boom!"

Seeing this, Su He raised her hand, and the ancient stellar spear appeared, while silver radiance flashed across her body, covering the previous bronze glow.

At the same time, Ye Jianxing did not show weakness and also activated the same power, only it was one level higher than hers.

"Silver Bone Body!" Outside the arena, a group of veteran experts was astonished.

"This lass really did it; she has reached the Divine Ability Realm in both Concept and Physical Body strength!" The department head from the [Star Department] of Tianhe Academy said with a smile.

There weren't many people in the Star Department, but there weren't too few either; everyone usually Awakened things like stardust, starlight, or star radiance.

For example, Lin Qingyao's best friend, Li Linglong, and her boyfriend—one Awakened the Moon Star and the other the Sun Star—were both from the Star Department.

And Su He's teacher was the head of that department.

"The Astral Body Refining Art and the Starlight Body Refining Art have a hierarchical relationship; what Starlight has, Astral also has!" Inside the corridor, Li Linglong spoke.

"What is that?" Lin Qingyao asked, looking at the silver light on the two of them.

Li Linglong glanced at her and said, "I heard the department head say during a lecture that the Starlight Body Refining Art has four body stages, with each stage corresponding to two Realms, except for the fourth stage."

"The first stage is the [Copper Skin Body], corresponding to the Light Opening Realm and the Divine Sea Realm. The second stage is the [Silver Bone Body], corresponding to the Divine Ability Realm and the Spirit Seed Realm."

"The third stage, which is also a transformative stage, is called the [Golden Body], corresponding to the Three Heavens Realm and the Tribulation Transformation Realm. As the superior technique, the Astral Body Refining Art naturally has it too."

Everyone was surprised. Su He had actually cultivated the second stage, the Silver Bone Body; no wonder she could withstand that move just now!

Qin Feng asked curiously, "Then what is the fourth stage?"

Li Linglong replied, "The fourth stage is called the [Glazed Body]. The body becomes like celestial glaze, difficult to kill or cut, corresponding to the Heavenly Position Realm."

Qin Feng was lost in thought and said, "Is there really no fifth stage? Has no successor created one?"

Li Linglong shook her head slightly, "The so-called fifth stage is actually the [Immortal Body] of a deity in the Immortal Realm. The Starlight Body Refining Art simply does not possess that level of existence. If you want to Cultivate it, you have to find the superior substitute, the Astral Body Refining Art, but that is controlled by the Alliance."

Qin Feng nodded, "I see, no wonder it is controlled by the Alliance."

The Divine Ability Realm, as the third major Realm of an Ability User's cultivation, does not have nine segments or nine layers, but rather three important stages.

Small Divine Ability, Medium Divine Ability, and the strongest, Great Divine Ability users.

Finally, the two Small Divine Ability users on the field moved.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

Having elevated by a level, their movements were even harder to capture. In the blink of an eye, they had arrived at the other end of the city.

"Pfft!"

Subsequently, Su He was injured. A moment of carelessness and her body was pierced by Sword Qi. If not for the rapid operation of the Starlight Body Refining Art allowing her to recover, she would have easily been forced out.

In fact, after elevating her cultivation, she actually had even less of a chance to fight.

Because she was not truly in the Divine Ability Realm, whereas for Ye Jianxing, this was a form of restoration; he knew how to fight in the Divine Ability Realm.

"Bang!"

Su He decisively activated her Innate Divine Ability—Star Origin Return, pushing her own form to the limit and forcing the opponent back.

Ye Jianxing also decisively activated his Divine Ability—Star Sword Heaven Opener.
