The Spiritual Energy Revival Began in Zhangjiajie

148: Chapter 148 The PassageMore than thirty Draiden Star people arrived at the Dome Martial Arts Academy.

The academy’s principal even made a rare appearance at the main gate.

The heads of various departments were also present one after another.

This was to show respect.

The Genius Disciples from each college also appeared.

”High-level Legendary!?”

Ji Yebai looked up, and Asma’s figure came into view.

Asma’s appearance was very young, with a slender build and an extraordinary face.

The Draiden Star people all seemed to have good looks; looking around, every one of them was a handsome man or a beautiful woman.

Furthermore, their features were very similar to those of Blue Star people.

The only difference was in their height.

With an average height of two meters, they stood out significantly.

Ji Yebai’s gaze swept over Asma.

He had gauged the other’s strength.

”So this is the level of a High-level Legendary!”

Ji Yebai murmured in his heart.

Ji Yebai’s strength had essentially surpassed the Life and Death Realm, meaning he had already moved past the Legendary Stage.

From the moment he finished his secluded cultivation, he had crossed the Legendary Stage and begun his transformation.

Because of this, he didn’t have a concrete grasp of what the Legendary Stage in Cosmic Civilizations entailed.

But at this moment.

Based on Asma, this High-level Legendary, he had a measure in his mind.

”The path of martial arts does have its advantages!”

Ji Yebai withdrew his gaze.

Not just the Asma before him, but the memory of that suspected elf cultivator he had encountered in the Universe surfaced in Ji Yebai’s mind.

They all had one thing in common.

An emphasis on mental cultivation.

Life has three treasures.

Jing, Qi, and Shen.

Namely: flesh and blood, energy, and spirit.

Whether it was the Asma before him or the elf he met back then, both used the spirit as the core to harness energy.

In contrast, the martial arts path of Blue Star focused on flesh and blood from the very beginning, using the Physical Body as the Foundation and integrating spirit and energy into it.

It was a path of unifying Jing, Qi, and Shen.

”Each has its pros and cons!”

Ji Yebai pondered.

The cultivation method used by the Draiden Star Civilization was the one published by the Cosmic Union.

It used Breathing Techniques to harness energy and stimulate the spirit, guiding energy to temper the body in the early stages.

However, this cultivation method required one to discard the Physical Body at the Saint Stage, using Mental Energy to wield Laws and energy to construct a new energy-based body.

”In the path of martial arts, during the Life and Death Realm, one integrates all will and spirit into the flesh and blood cells. Once the body’s flesh has completely fused with energy and spirit, one can basically consider transforming into the Saint Stage.”

”Similarly, to break through into the Saint Stage, one needs to integrate that power of Laws into the body’s flesh as well.”

Ji Yebai looked up, his gaze slightly dazed.

”When the transforming Physical Body absorbs the power of Laws into itself...”

”And flesh, energy, spirit, and Laws become one, then the life evolution is considered complete!”

Ji Yebai’s thoughts fluctuated continuously.

Currently, his physical transformation was nearing its end.

With two more layers of the Nine-Turn Soul Refining Path, the transformation would be fully complete.

The Saint Stage would then follow naturally.

”Now that I’ve seen through all the cultivation routes, all that’s left is to wait.”

Ji Yebai’s eyes brightened slightly as he looked at Asma’s group once more.

He turned and walked away.

The exchange wouldn’t start immediately on the first day.

Accommodation issues needed to be settled.

The official exchange matches would be on the second day.

...

The second day.

The Martial Arts Arena.

By now, it was already a sea of people.

Ji Yebai passed by here on his way to work, and seeing the excitement, he walked over.

At this moment, the discussions among the many students were practically boiling over.

”I went back and collected data on them yesterday. Look at that Draiden Star person in the very front; she hasn’t lost a single match so far!”

”They are proficient in mental manipulation and can make people fall into interference without realizing it. Many prodigies from other academies lost exactly like that!”

”Yeah, Mental Energy attacks and interference... as martial artists, if we haven’t reached the First-class Realm, we have no way to resist at all!”

”In that case, doesn’t that mean we have no chance of winning!?”

...

A large crowd of students kept discussing incessantly.

Ji Yebai heard it all and raised an eyebrow.

But he couldn’t blame them.

Most of these students were in the Second-rate Realm; even First-class ones were rare.

With such limited experience, they naturally couldn’t see through the fundamentals of the cultivation path.

”Quiet, everyone!”

The principal stood on the stage, scanned the field, and said with a smile, ”Friends from the Draiden Star Civilization have come from afar. Let us give them a warm welcome!”

Instantly, everyone began to applaud.

Regardless of anything else, a welcome was necessary.

”Alright, let the cultivation exchange meet officially begin!”

”The exchange meet is to promote interaction among the younger generation. Therefore, only those under the age of thirty may participate...”

”Stop when the point is made; let us make friends through martial arts!”

”It officially begins now!”

As soon as the principal finished speaking, applause rang out again.

Amidst the applause, thirty-odd Draiden Star people walked onto the Martial Arts Arena.

And from the academy’s side, a few people also walked up.

After both sides greeted each other, the first round of the exchange began.

Each side sent out one person to begin the match.

”It’s Senior Brother Liu Qi!”

”Senior Brother Liu Qi is proficient in the Lightning Sword, and with his cultivation at the Peak of Second-rate, he shouldn’t be bad. He will surely win this round!”

...

The students on the field began to whisper among themselves.

The cultivation levels of the Draiden Star people who came were also varied, so Liu Qi did have a chance of winning.

Just as the match was about to start, Ji Yebai turned and walked away.

It was time for him to start work.

Since Ji Yebai wanted to leave, he could naturally do so easily and without being noticed.

”That Asma’s Mental Energy is constantly scanning; it doesn’t seem like he’s just here for an exchange!”

Ji Yebai walked along the road, his mind flashing with thought.

Just now, Asma’s Mental Energy was constantly investigating, a fact Ji Yebai had easily discovered.

”Interesting. Could he be here for the person underground!?”

When Ji Yebai reached the Library, he suddenly thought of that Pansi Civilization Legendary sealed underground.

The Draiden Star Civilization and the Pansi Civilization were enemies.

If something were really to happen, it would make sense.

”I’ll see what you’re up to!”

Ji Yebai smiled slightly.

He didn’t take Asma too seriously.

Currently, his physical transformation was nearing its end.

He was still able to mobilize a little bit of the power of Laws.

Don’t be fooled by it being just a little; if he wanted to defeat Asma, it would be effortless.

Ji Yebai worked diligently while new matches continuously began on the Martial Arts Arena.

However, what was disheartening was that very few people managed to win against their opponents.

The Draiden Star people’s mental interference played too large a role in battle.

And so, time passed.

Soon, three days had gone by.

Yes, three days.

Even Ji Yebai was a bit surprised.

He had been wondering if Asma had some other purpose.

But seeing no movement from him for three days made Ji Yebai doubt if he had guessed wrong.

However.

On this very night, Ji Yebai once again felt that surging mental fluctuation.

”So there is action!”

Ji Yebai smiled slightly.

His figure vanished instantly.

In a hidden corner of the school.

Asma looked calmly ahead as a rockery slowly rose.

Beneath the rockery, a silver-white metal passage suddenly appeared.

Enveloping his body in Mental Energy, Asma’s figure slowly floated.

He descended directly down the passage.

On the surface, Ji Yebai was watching this scene with great interest.
