Chapter 342 - 280: Transcender Panel, Star Sea Martial Arts Family, Setting Sail!
[I feel very disappointed.]
[If I want to obtain "food" to continue cultivation, I can also go to the Surface Layer. There is a complete "ecosystem" there, inhabited by beasts that once emerged on the Mother Star, and anyone can hunt them, but the use of "mechanics" is prohibited.]
[A very strange rule.]
[Moreover, the elevator fee to the Surface Layer is not high, only three Credit Points per trip.]
[In order to continue cultivating, I can only make ends meet myself, I contacted the only friend in my contacts — an old classmate, hoping to borrow three Credit Points.]
[My old classmate’s name is "Moli," she has red hair, a tall figure, and delicate features, ten times more beautiful than Jiu Yue. However, their beauty is really the same, I can only recognize Moli by her red hair and attire.]
[After an hour, I gave up hope.]
[Old classmate "Moli" is a Genetic Modifier, ranked at the top of her class, too busy to even look at people, her only focus after graduation was studying to become a high school student, her dream being to get into Galaxy University and leave the Mother Star.]
[But I really have no friends on the Mother Star.]
[Surprisingly, "Moli" actually transferred ten Credit Points to me, simply replying "remember to pay me back."]
[Efficiency.]
[I didn’t bother Moli any further, keeping it in mind. Before setting off, I made a final attempt to contact "Hall Master Leidong," recording a fist technique video, and then headed towards the "Surface Layer."]
[I abandoned all technology and immersed myself in cultivation on the Surface Layer, quickly integrating into this primordial environment. I once taught Jiu Yue to use the Mother Star’s tools, and Jiu Yue taught me the most primordial survival skills, which I put into practice.]
[I traversed lofty mountains, battled with one of the ancient Overlords of the Mother Star, the "Horror Beast," danced with fierce beasts, and fought against natural disasters.]
[I punched furiously at tsunamis, crossed the Pacific Ocean, narrowly escaping avalanches, and struggled to survive storms. I chased after lightning, observed volcanic eruptions up close, amassing strength, and with one punch, I could collapse a small mountain.]
[A line emerged on the Transcender Panel — unnamed fist technique (Breaking Limit)]
[The "useless gene" fragment among Natural Persons activated.]
[I defeated every powerful beast on the Mother Star’s Surface Layer, conquered natural disasters, and after undergoing eight extreme trials, I named this unique fist technique of mine — Eight Extremes Heaven!]
[I sparred with the samurai of the Surface Layer’s primordial tribes, they were weak, and with mastering "Eight Extremes Heaven," I, standing three meters tall, defeated them with one hand, but their spirit was strong, losing without despair.]
[I began learning what they called "Static Skill."]
[A line emerged on the Transcender Panel — Tai Chi Heart Intent (Not Initiated)]
[After initiating "Tai Chi Heart Intent," I gradually defeated the beasts in my heart, including the panic of being abandoned by my parents as a child, the sorrow of Jiu Yue’s unannounced departure as I grew up, and the loneliness of having no one to talk to.]
[A hundred days flew by quickly.]
[After completing the hundred-day Foundation Establishment, I exited the pass. My strong physique transformed into a "Perfect Body," the calm in my eyes turning into true serenity. When I looked up again, through the gaps in the Mother Star’s cold buildings, I gazed at the starry sky.]
[I stayed in the Surface Layer, hunting fierce beasts and enjoying gourmet food. The Transcender Panel recorded all the martial arts of Natural Persons, and soon, I reached the limit of the flesh and blood body.]
[Leidong from the Baofeng Martial Arts Hall finally received the fist technique video. After watching it, he rushed back to the Mother Star at the fastest speed, asking the Governor to mobilize "Supreme" Authority to locate me, hastily launching a craft to descend on the Surface Layer.]
[I looked at the craft hovering overhead and discussed with Hall Master Leidong; he wanted to take me away from the Mother Star to join the "Martial Arts Association," saying my potential could get me into Galaxy University.]
[Hall Master Leidong spoke with great excitement.]
[The principal of Galaxy University, "Mu Yan," is the Judge governing three million Transformed Stars and Primordial Stars throughout the Milky Way Galaxy. Every year, the outstanding graduates of Galaxy University are protégés of Principal "Mu Yan."]
[Principal "Mu Yan" is also a top figure in the Pan-Human Alliance, a Seventh Rank Professional, Purple Gold Advanced, second only to the topmost combat power of the race, the "Three Kings of Radiance."]
[Hearing the name "Galaxy University," I was moved; there are three things worth being moved about in my ordinary twenty-something years of life — parents, Jiu Yue, gourmet food, and martial arts.]
[I agreed, turning around to bid farewell to the tribal samurai friends one by one; if they wished, they need not struggle on the Surface Layer, my value was enough to cover their lifetime expenses on the Mother Star, and with Mother Star’s medical level, they could live very long.]
[They looked at each other, smiled, and refused; they didn’t want to become "commodities" of the Mother Star.]
[Mother Star has no special resource mines, not a strategic location, and even the Alliance’s "Cosmic Highway" and "Wormhole" won’t pass by the Mother Star, totally devoid of value.]
[Mother Star became subject to economic sanctions by a Governor as it joined the ranks. For Mother Star to make its way into the starry sky, it could only sell "playthings" to earn Star Coins, exhausting all resources to nurture "Professionals," only for everyone to never return.]
[I was silent for a while; everyone was like this, and I would be no exception.]
[I waved goodbye and left with Hall Master Leidong.]
[He was delighted to introduce me; Martial Arts Practitioner is one of the three major professions in the Cosmic Sea, with boundless prospects.]
[Mecha Master, Martial Arts Practitioner, Awakened.]
