Starry Sky Professional

Blue Star University, Dormitory.

Inside the cultivation room.

Fang Xing sat cross-legged, with a jade box containing Vajra Fruits beside him.

“Now Wei Shentong is somewhat targeting me... but even he couldn't imagine that without exchanging items in the treasury, I can obtain something even better than the jewels stored there...”

“This is what they call silent profits!”

“The exposure of some strength before was insignificant. My true trump cards are ever-increasing...”

At present, his cultivation avatar had reached Northern Li Immortal City, where there were more tier-two elixirs.

The spiritual energy in the cave dwelling was also more abundant.

Furthermore, given his willingness to spend spirit stones, he could naturally advance rapidly.

As for being watched by others?

Fang Xing would just graciously accept those who came offering spirit stones.

Unfortunately, the sabotage cultivators probably wouldn't be foolish enough; repetitive fishing tactics would eventually fail.

“Gaining resources from the cultivation world might be better than those major powers cultivating their own geniuses...”

“As a result, my need for academic credits isn't as urgent...”

“For now, all I need is to exchange credits for the technique to condense the cosmic Yin-Yang essence...”

From this exchange requirement, it seems Blue Star University supports, yet restricts students in infusing cosmic special essences into their martial Dao golden cores.

In simple terms, only the geniuses among geniuses could attempt this.

For merely ordinary geniuses, they should honestly condense ordinary martial Dao golden cores to become the pillars of society.

“Now... it's time to increase a major trump card again.”

Fang Xing glanced at the attribute panel:

【Dragon Elephant Technique: 225/800】

【Great Vajra Prajna Power: 256/400】

...

“I wonder what this Vajra Fruit tastes like?”

Fang Xing picked up the white-skinned, gold-patterned Vajra Fruit and took a bite.

‘Crunch!’

A crisp sound rang out.

“Hmm?”

Instantly, Fang Xing noticed a difference—the Vajra Fruit was extraordinarily hard! Even its skin was as tough as steel.

If he hadn't cultivated the Dragon-Elephant Skill to the Grandmaster level, with his body having been repeatedly fortified to the point of chewing through metal, he wouldn’t have been able to break the skin!

‘It seems that even in the world of cultivation, high-level spirit fruits that fall to mortals are beyond their ability to consume… They might even bring calamity!’

As Fang Xing's teeth chewed through the flesh of the fruit, the power of its essence swiftly surged through his thoroughly refined internal organs, aiding its digestion.

Only when looking at the bitten fruit did he notice its interior was as crystal clear as glass, exuding a radiant luster.

The entire fruit was like a jewel carved from crystal, with an exceptionally pleasing taste—a crunch reminiscent of apples, coupled with a delicate sweetness akin to cherries.

As Fang Xing continued to absorb the fruit's essence, he noticed the proficiency of his Dragon-Elephant Skill and the Vajra Prajna Divine Power slowly increasing.

“The power of the Vajra Fruit must not be wasted!”

With a thought, he pressed his brow, letting his mental strength spread to aid digestion, while silently employing the method of the Vajra Prajna Divine Power to integrate this medicinal potency.

‘Crunch, crunch!’ Having familiarized himself with its essence, Fang Xing quickly consumed the remaining fruit.

Once the entire Vajra Fruit settled in his stomach, a peculiar cool energy flowed in his lower abdomen, coursing up along his spine to his brain.

Unconsciously, his eyes shimmered with a golden light, his perception seemingly heightened for the moment.

Bottlenecks he faced while cultivating the Vajra Prajna Divine Power were suddenly broken through!

‘No wonder the Vajra Fruit can break through physical cultivation barriers; it even temporarily boosts comprehension!’

Overjoyed, Fang Xing immediately entered a state of enlightenment.

Golden light shimmered around him, condensing and remaining. However, this wasn’t the golden armored scales of the Dragon-Elephant Skill, but rather the sheen of a golden arhat, gradually enveloping his entire figure.

“Vajra, Prajna…”

“So, the true essence of the Vajra Prajna Divine Power… is to unlock the divine treasury of wisdom!”

After comprehending this juncture, Fang Xing touched his brow.

Within the Niwan Palace, a myriad of spiritual energies rapidly transformed, infusing the entire Niwan Palace with a trace of gold, like a perfectly rounded, radiant golden relic!

With the formation of the relic, Fang Xing instantly felt the immense power of the Vajra reached a breakthrough into the realm of Grandmaster, achieving a sixteen-fold explosive force!

“A sixteen-fold explosion, that's the pinnacle of this S-class martial art!”

“With such explosive strength, if I can get close to a mid-level cultivator, I have a fair chance of taking them down... Of course, we're talking about those of ordinary True Core quality and not surpassing the initial stages of Core Formation...”

On his attribute panel, the runes that represented the Vajra strength grew blurry, then altered:

【Vajra Strength: 1/800】

“To have cultivated such a challenging S-class martial art to the level of a Grandmaster within such a short time, even Pan Xiong would find it unimaginable, I suppose?”

Fang Xing's lips curled slightly upwards as he gently pressed his abdomen, sensing that the medicinal power of the Vajra Fruit had not been completely exhausted.

He quickly closed his eyes, pondering the fusion of Dragon Elephant Power with the Vajra strength.

Time seemed to slip by unnoticed.

In a meditative state, Fang Xing seemed to hear an ancient bellow of a dragon elephant in the distance.

At that moment, he felt as if he had traveled back to the prehistoric era, arriving in a primeval jungle, transforming into an ancient dragon elephant!

Its body was adorned with golden patterns, its hide incredibly tough, and its dragon teeth sharp!

It was...

The Invincible Dragon Elephant Divine Power!

Boom!

Fang Xing abruptly opened his eyes, sensing a golden warm current emerging within his organs, limbs, and bones, initiating an unprecedented strengthening throughout his whole being!

Once this golden warm current flowed through, it left faint golden marks on his blood vessels, muscles, and bones... like the formation of a complex, intricate pattern.

“Is this... the power of divine abilities?”

He caressed his hands, feeling the surge of power within his body.

“I am so strong... Not only has my physical body far surpassed its previous strength, but even my mental faculties as well.”

Fang Xing sensed the golden relic at his brow.

Reaching this level of mental cultivation, his martial will could withstand the psychic contamination even from the high-ranked offspring of the void.

If Xia Long had his level of mental strength, he wouldn't have been injured last time!

“No wonder it's called a divine ability… truly the means of a Golden Core!”

“Now, with my current physique and mastery of Golden Core techniques… even encountering weaknesses in martial Golden Cores, I can hold my own… though not against someone like Pan Xiong; perhaps against someone like Lu Guangming, yes… but even then, not Pan Xiong when he's at the Golden Statue stage.”

Fang Xing's spiritual powers swept over his body, revealing skin as lustrous as yellow jade.

As soon as his mind stirred, the Invincible Dragon Elephant Divine Power emerged, cloaking him in a golden aura, much like the golden statues of Arhats found in temples.

Moreover, his physique, unified and complete, retained the explosive force of a grandmaster's Vajra prowess, becoming more concentrated, possessing a sense of solidity and gradual stabilization.

“This manifestation bears the essence of a Gold Body’s first or second transformation…”

“My defense could likely endure several blows from low-grade magical treasures…”

“In the realm of immortals, this would be akin to advancing from a quasi-third tier to a true third-tier physique?”

It's like transforming from a pseudo pill practitioner into a true pill practitioner!

Of course, in the cultivation world, pseudo pill practitioners can’t transform their pseudo pills into true ones.

They are often looked down upon by genuine Golden Core practitioners and are not considered equals.

Therefore, crossing this step is akin to leaping across a grand divide, resulting in numerous impacts and changes.

“In simple terms, I'm now capable of standing on equal terms with the city lord of Northern Li Immortal City?”

“Regrettably… even with such strength, I couldn’t slay Wei Shentong with a surprise attack… but how old is he? And how old am I?”

“Perhaps… before I graduate university, there'll be an opportunity.”

Fang Xing would not forget his enemies, but with his current power still lacking, mentioning revenge now would only bring ridicule. At present, he shifted his focus to the attributes panel：

【Name: Fang Xing】

【Age: 21】

【Occupation: Martial Artist】

【Fifth Realm: Outward Manifestation】

【Tiger-Dragon Stance: 235/800】

Fang Xing meticulously surveyed his progress.

[Three-Star Martial Techniques: 15/800]

[Indestructible Dragon Elephant Power: 1/800]

[Great Sun Tathagata Mantra: 50/200]

[Twin Lotus Guardian of Heavenly Mother: 1/200]

[Dancing Sky Steps: 6/400]

[Gate of the Heavens]

……

“Wei Shentong is at the Grand Vajra Level. This isn't something to underestimate... To surpass him in a short time seems improbable, unless I decide to recklessly push through the cultivation of the 'Great Sun Tathagata Mantra’...”

Fang Xing hadn’t forgotten the peculiarity he experienced last time when using the mantra.

Should he be pushed to the limit, he considered consuming the Myriad Spirits Record. Would a single 'Great Sun Divine Palm' be enough to annihilate a Martial Sage?

Fortunately, with Pan Xiong around, Wei Shentong was forced to adhere to the rules.

Fang Xing had no intention of flipping the table just yet.

In truth, his life at Blue Star University was quite enjoyable.

Not only did he have Pan Xiong, a mentor at the Vajra Level, to guide him, but also access to the university’s extensive facilities and even virtual cabins.

Moreover, the Myriad Spirits Record paired with the properties panel felt like he was playing with cheat codes.

Blue Star University's treasury was abundant with treasures, and they could be exchanged simply with academic credits.

Compared to this, any other first-class universities, or even second-class institutions, couldn't compete with these conveniences.

Fang Xing had heard from Song Jingang that the faculty and infra of top universities fell far short of Blue Star University.

The biggest differentiator was still the Myriad Spirits Record and the ability to exchange credits for rare resources, something other top universities couldn’t even dream of establishing.

As for Gu Yun's second-tier school, it lagged even further behind.

And Xia Long, who had become a corporate drone, had to risk his life on the battlefield just to obtain what Fang Xing could easily acquire.

“It's the summer break of my third year now... soon I'll be entering my fourth year."

"A little over a year from now, it will be the internship in my fifth year."

"I wonder what the battlefield of the secret realm truly looks like?"

Fang Xing pressed the golden light that enveloped his body, feeling an inexplicable sense of anticipation in his heart.
