High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System

Chapter 89: Chapter 87: Star Sea Divine Path

”I will not change my goal.” Jiang Ye’s gaze was very determined.

Even though he knew it would be difficult.

But to give up because of this, was clearly not in his character.

Zhang Jianwu’s gaze slightly moved, he had long known this student had a stubborn personality.

Every person who strives persists, has a stubborn character.

Once a goal is confirmed, it will not be easily shaken.

But despite clearly informing him of the difficulty akin to reaching the heavens, Jiang Ye remained so determined, which surprised him a bit.

”Very good.”

Zhang Jianwu suddenly smiled, his heart once again filled with satisfaction toward Jiang Ye.

In the face of such difficulty, the other party still remained so determined.

He increasingly believed that in the future, there would definitely be a place for this young guy in the Star Sky Martial Arts.

”Jiang Ye, you’re impressive.”

Zhang Jianwu drank the tea in his cup in one go and said in a deep voice, ”If so, then I shall point you to a clear path!”

Jiang Ye’s eyes moved as he sat up straight, ”Director, please speak.”

Zhang Jianwu looked at him and said, ”If you can reach the First Break before the college entrance exam, then participate in the ’Star Sea Divine Path’ trial.”

”Conduct a strength certification.”

”As long as you pass the certification, your strength will leap in a very short time.”

”By that time, even a score increase of twenty or thirty points overnight is possible,” he said with a smile.

Jiang Ye’s pupils suddenly contracted.

His mind roared.

Zhang Jianwu was not surprised to see Jiang Ye’s expression.

After all, the notion of improving by twenty or thirty points overnight was exaggerated enough.

But what he didn’t know was that Jiang Ye was thinking about something else.

”Star Sea Divine Path?” Jiang Ye envisioned the dream he often had.

In the dream, he had also seen these four words.

The man who seemed to be his biological father once carried him toward a magnificent palace.

On the palace, the words ’Star Sea Divine Path’ were engraved!

”Director.”

Jiang Ye snapped back to reality and asked with confusion, ”The ’Star Sea Divine Path’ trial you mentioned, what does it refer to?”

Zhang Jianwu smiled slightly and explained, ”The Star Sea Divine Path, to be precise, is not called a trial, it’s more like a certification organization.”

”However, it indeed exists in the form of a trial.”

”Only by passing the corresponding trial can it be recognized,” Zhang Jianwu explained slowly.

Jiang Ye listened attentively.

”Currently within the Blue Star Federation, it is commonly recognized that the human body has seven major shackles, also called Seven Breaks.”

Zhang Jianwu said, ”Each time a shackle is broken, one can complete the corresponding certification trial on the ’Star Sea Divine Path’.”

Jiang Ye found this quite novel.

According to this statement, no matter if it’s the First Break, Second Break, Third Break, or even the highest Seventh Break.

They can all undergo certification on the Star Sea Divine Path?

Wait...

Why does this sound familiar?

Isn’t this his Martial Arts Celestial Ladder!

Realizing this, Jiang Ye couldn’t help but ask, ”What is this Star Sea Divine Path? Is it a road?”

”No.”

Zhang Jianwu shook his head and sighed, ”The Star Sea Divine Path is a mysterious space discovered accidentally when Blue Star connected to the starry sky.”

”Within that space, there is indeed a road, but this road... leads to the starry sky!”

”Its origins are unknown to anyone, but it can be confirmed, it is incredibly ancient.”

”The mysteries within, humans have yet to understand,” he said with a smile, ”Do you know why Martial Arts are now called Star Sky Martial Arts? And Martial Arts Masters are called Star Sky Martial Artists?”

Jiang Ye was thoughtful.

He had always thought the name Star Sky Martial Arts came from Star Sky Energy.

But now it seems, it’s not that simple.

”Could it be because of that road in the Star Sea Divine Path?” Jiang Ye speculated.

Zhang Jianwu nodded, ”Correct! It’s because of this road!”

”Anyone who steps upon that road and completes a strength certification will receive the ’Star Sea Gift’!” he expressed a hint of longing.

”Star Sea Gift?” Jiang Ye was taken aback.

”The Star Sea Gift comes from the starry sky, from the depths of the vast Star Sea,” Zhang Jianwu said gravely:

”Upon receiving the Star Sea Gift, both strength and potential will experience a leap in growth.”

”That’s why a First Break Martial Artist is called a Star Sky Martial Arts Master.”

”In reality, for the Federation, only those Martial Artists who have been certified by the Star Sea Divine Path can truly be called Star Sky Martial Artists!”

”They are recognized by the starry sky!”

Jiang Ye held his breath.

Zhang Jianwu’s words indeed inspired the listener.

To receive a starry sky certification, starry sky recognition!

What an honor this must be for a martial artist?

”So, this is the origin of the Star Sky Martial Arts Master,” Jiang Ye also couldn’t help but feel stirred.

Zhang Jianwu smiled, ”If you can receive the Star Sea Gift, I suppose getting into Penglai University wouldn’t be a difficult matter.”

Jiang Ye held his breath and said, ”Director, reaching First Break, can that enable passing the trial?”

By rights, this kind of trial must be quite difficult.

Otherwise, wouldn’t everyone pass?

Zhang Jianwu shook his head and said, ”The Star Sea Divine Path doesn’t look at your realm, but your combat strength at an equivalent level.”

”As long as your combat strength meets the standard, whether you’ve just broken through the First Break or are at its peak, you can get certified.”

Jiang Ye nodded.

”The difficulty is certainly not small,” Zhang Jianwu lamented, ”I’ve heard that even for the First Break certification, the success rate is less than one-fifth.”

”However, it’s still early for you.”

He looked at Jiang Ye and said, ”Even if you want to take the trial, you must first reach the First Break, strive to break through soon.”

Jiang Ye nodded: ”Yes.”

For him, the Star Sea Divine Path is indeed an opportunity.

But whether it can succeed depends on what happens after the First Break.

”Come,” Zhang Jianwu raised his glass with a smile, ”Here’s to you achieving your wish in three months!”

”Achieving my wish!” Jiang Ye also raised his glass.

Cheers!

...

After the meal, Zhang Jianwu drove Jiang Ye to the Shadow Hunting Bureau to visit Jiang Dahai.

Jiang Dahai was still on duty at the Shadow Hunting Bureau.

”Dad!” Jiang Ye walked into the security room.

”Ye?” Jiang Dahai promptly came up: ”What are you doing here? Weren’t you on a mission?”

”I’ve already completed it,” Jiang Ye said.

”And who is this?” Jiang Dahai looked at Zhang Jianwu, who had walked in, his face full of doubt.

Jiang Ye introduced, ”He’s the grade director of our school, Director Zhang.”

”Hello, Director Zhang.” Jiang Dahai quickly extended his hand for a handshake.

Zhang Jianwu chuckled and said, ”Brother Jiang, you’ve raised a good son!”

Jiang Dahai was startled, hearing this tone, could it be that his son had caused some big trouble?

”Director Zhang, my son’s still young and doesn’t understand...” Jiang Dahai instinctively said.

Zhang Jianwu was slightly startled.

Then he smiled and shook his head, ”You misunderstood, this time Jiang Ye really made a great contribution for An City No.3 High School!”

How valuable is the Preparatory Star Profession qualification?

In the entire West Mountain Province, with hundreds of millions of people, only a few dozen emerge each year.

And in the small, inconspicuous An City No.3 High School, one appeared this time!

It’s safe to say that Jiang Ye will definitely make the headlines of An City news.

After Jiang Dahai understood the situation, he was also a bit shocked looking at Jiang Ye: ”Ye, is this true?”

Jiang Ye shook his head, smiling: ”Would the director lie?”

”Good, good, that’s great.” Jiang Dahai was so excited he was at a loss for words.

This time, Jiang Ye really did them proud.

For the school, for An City!

How big a news could this be?

After Jiang Dahai calmed down, Jiang Ye said, ”Dad, we’re going back tomorrow, you should come home early too.”

”Sure, I’m going back in a few days too.” Jiang Dahai grinned: ”Don’t worry, I’ve been here for days and everything’s fine. Once this stint is over, I can get fifty thousand yuan.”

Jiang Ye shook his head helplessly.

He also understood his foster father’s feelings.

Fifty thousand yuan really isn’t a small sum.

Jiang Ye didn’t say much more. After chatting with his foster father for a bit, he and Zhang Jianwu turned and left.

It was already late, and the two of them would stay another night in Cyan Yang City.

...

After returning to the hotel, Jiang Ye didn’t rest.

He assumed a horse stance and began cultivating the ”Star Martial Advancement Technique” again.

This cultivation technique integrates both inner and outer practices, requiring both daily inner strength training and the honing of outer power.

”Hoo!” ”Hoo!”

Jiang Ye punched and slapped, the vast powerful qi surged like seawater, full of strength.

”Currently, my Star Martial Advancement Technique is still at 46%.”

Jiang Ye thought to himself, ”To quickly break through to Minor Success in the next three months, I must seize every moment.”

Breaking through to Minor Success in the Advanced Technique is the key to reaching the First Break standard.

At that time, his Guanyuan Acupoint will be able to hold a hundred thousand strands of Star Energy.

And after several Star Sky Refinements, he’ll be able to truly elevate his life level, breaking that shackle.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, it was 1 AM.

Jiang Ye stopped cultivating, his whole body steaming with sweat.

[Star Martial Advancement Technique: Entry (46%) → (47%)]

”Once the ten thousand yuan subsidy is disbursed.”

”By then, my cultivation speed should further improve,” Jiang Ye calculated, ”Breaking through to Minor Success in three months is not a problem.”

He got up, went to the bathroom, and took a hot shower.

It was 1:30 AM.

This time, Jiang Ye did not enter the Martial Arts Celestial Ladder but lay down on the bed.

Tonight, he decided to actively fall asleep.

Jiang Ye wanted to see what the ’Star Sea Divine Path’ in his dreams was all about.
