Chapter 341 - 280: Transcender Panel, Star Sea Martial Arts Family, Setting Sail!
[I worked in a daze for some time.]
[I accidentally learned from an old classmate that "Jiu Yue" awakened the "Ability: Aurora", was directly granted first-class citizenship by the "Pan-Human Alliance" Supreme, and the director of "Galaxy University" personally came to the Mother Star to specially recruit Jiu Yue.]
[The "Pan-Human Alliance" has unified the levels of "Professionals" within the tribe into seven tiers—Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet.]
[Above the seventh tier is the highest energy level that an individual lifeform can achieve, radiating brilliance comparable to Fixed Stars in the endless "Star Sea".]
[Among other races in the Cosmic Sea, Radiant Level Professionals represent "Immortality", each one a treasure of the race!]
[The "Ability: Aurora" that Jiu Yue awakened is elemental, the strongest "Awakened" of the same tier, and she has the potential to become a "Radiant" lifeform, so it was natural for Jiu Yue to choose to leave the Mother Star.]
[Awakened...]
[For the first time, I saw an old classmate looking at me, a "Natural Person", with envy.]
[I learned a big secret from the old classmate’s mouth.]
[Natural persons have boundless potential, with the "useless fragments" hidden in primordial genes having infinite possibilities, once awakened they soar to great heights. And "Genetic Modifiers" can never become "Professionals" through normal means, those who are not Tier One "Mecha Masters" are cannon fodder.]
[Certified Professionals are not something I can come into contact with.]
[It’s just a pity, we haven’t had a proper farewell... but I was already used to "leaving without saying goodbye", and silently wished them all the best in my heart.]
[I returned to ordinary life.]
[Three more months passed. After a day’s work, I looked up at the stars, tired, yearning a little; at the end of that distant starlit sky is someone I want to meet.]
[But like ninety percent of the people on the Mother Star, I am destined to have no chance to leave here. A ticket to leave the Mother Star costs only three hundred Star Coins, equivalent to a million Credit Points, truly an unattainable luxury.]
[I would never earn that much money in a lifetime of working.]
[Three years later, due to the shortage of cleaning and maintenance workers, I rarely got the opportunity to enter the "Mother Star Special Zone" to perform cleaning tasks. Those living in the Special Zone are the descendants of former pioneers of the Mother Star, their ancestors being at least Tier One Professionals, and there are less than a hundred thousand descendants remaining here.]
[Until one day, I walked past a wooden building, the "Baofeng Martial Arts Hall", and watched a middle-aged man in a kung fu suit practicing punches and kicks, feeling a slight stirring in my heart.]
[In a trance, my eyes seemed to play tricks on me, as a pale blue light screen appeared, showing a brief text: "Star 122*999 ID·Ancient Martial Basic Boxing Skill (Uninitiated)"]
[After returning home, I inexplicably began to mimic the middle-aged man’s movements.]
[After finishing one round of practice, something in my mind broke out of its shell, my whole body felt hot, my bones grew, and my muscles swelled. My eyes turned red, and I felt an overwhelming primitive hunger. I devoured all the "Concentrated Nutrient Paste" at home to barely fill my stomach.]
[I picked up a metal cup, intending to drink water, and easily crushed it. I couldn’t believe my strength; how could my flesh and blood, so fragile, crush metal barehanded? This power had completely surpassed "ordinary people", more terrifying than the old classmate who was a Genetic Modifier.]
[I knew the source of all these changes.]
[With a thought, that pale blue light screen appeared in my eyes again: "Ancient Martial Basic Boxing Skill (Initiated)"]
[I logged onto the "Mother Star Regional Network" and found that "Baofeng Martial Arts Hall". The information for the hall master prominently displayed Tier One Professional—Leidong, Martial Arts Practitioner (Red Star Middle Level)]
[The two "Red Star" symbols following the name of the hall master, "Leidong", were the certification of the "Pan-Human Alliance·Supreme".]
[I didn’t know where this "Panel" came from. I guessed I was an Awakened, and this was precisely my awakened ability.]
[After testing my strength for a day and truly feeling my power, I decisively chose to resign.]
[This was my only chance to change the ordinary.]
[I stayed at home, practicing the boxing techniques over and over again. After about twelve repetitions, my Ancient Martial Basic Boxing Skill advanced from initiated to Minor Success, and my strength had increased to about ten times that of an ordinary person.]
[In the next ten days or so, I shut myself in, practicing the boxing techniques more than seventy times. One day, a sudden inspiration came, and the realm marker broke through from Minor Success to Great Success.]
[During this process, I clearly felt that my awakened ability was constantly strengthening. After reaching Great Success, the boxing techniques were already at a level comparable to that of the martial arts hall master in my memory. But to my surprise, I vaguely sensed that this basic boxing technique still had room for further enhancement.]
[I estimated that if I practiced another hundred times, I could transcend the Great Achievement Realm.]
[My body was craving, as if transcending Great Success would bring unimaginable benefits.]
[I named this panel ability—the "Transcender Panel"!]
[This feeling of continuously growing stronger and surpassing everything activated the body’s instincts, truly becoming addictive. Unconsciously, my savings were depleted in the day and night of cultivation, and I had no money left even for meals. I had to stop cultivating.]
[I wanted to contact "Master Leidong". With my martial arts aptitude, I should be able to become a "First-Tier Professional", right? I could acknowledge him as my mentor, but Master Leidong didn’t respond for three days, and the elevator to the "Special Zone" required authority, which I lacked, preventing me from actively seeking him out.]
