Chapter 12

~~

"These three days, I won't go to class. I will focus on cultivation!"

Ye Wei got up, walked down from the wooden bed, stretched lazily, and did some simple exercises. After washing up, he began to practice diligently again.

"Starfall Technique!"

A moment later, Ye Wei returned to the wooden bed, sat cross-legged again, and slowly closed his eyes, adjusting his breathing. Gradually, he entered a state of emptiness where he forgot himself and the world around him.

His hands formed mysterious seals in front of his chest. As the technique circulated, invisible waves of mental energy quietly spread from his brow. Gradually, a formless mental energy vortex seemed to form around him, with threads of primordial energy converging towards Ye Wei.

Mental energy absorbed primordial energy, and after saturation, the Starfall Technique was used to refine the primordial energy!

After a full twelve hours, the primordial energy in Ye Wei's dantian finally reached saturation. The speed of absorbing primordial energy was excruciatingly slow. The moment the primordial energy in his dantian reached saturation, Ye Wei, who had his eyes slightly closed, suddenly opened them. A hint of silver light flashed in his eyes. He continuously changed thirty-six hand seals, and the violent primordial energy in his dantian began to be slowly refined.

Rumble!

As Ye Wei used the Starfall Technique to refine the primordial energy, a thunderous sound suddenly echoed in his mind. In the depths of his consciousness, a majestic green mountain's shadow quietly appeared. On the mountain, hundreds of thousands of divine patterns seemed to come to life, wriggling flexibly. Gradually, a semi-transparent figure suddenly walked out from the mountain.

This figure was semi-transparent, with clear green and red meridians visible inside its body!

In Ye Wei's extremely astonished gaze, the figure sat cross-legged, seemingly practicing a technique. The green and red meridians in its body vibrated slightly, and a faint silver primordial energy circulated through the meridians.

"Is this... the Starfall Technique?!"

Ye Wei's eyes instantly widened. The path of the primordial energy circulating inside the semi-transparent figure was very similar to the Starfall Technique! However, it was more complex!

The Starfall Technique passed down in the Ye family used a total of thirty-six meridians, while the Starfall Technique used by the semi-transparent figure circulated through one hundred and eight meridians, forming a perfect cycle!

The semi-transparent figure only needed to circulate the technique once for the violent primordial energy in its meridians to be completely refined!

Ye Wei needed to circulate the Starfall Technique at least nine times to refine the violent primordial energy in his dantian, while the semi-transparent figure only needed one circulation! Although the number of meridians the primordial energy circulated through was more, the time required was reduced by about half.

"The Starfall Technique of our Ye family is a mid-grade Profound Technique, yet the speed of refining primordial energy is so much slower than that of the semi-transparent figure. Could it be that the technique being used by this figure is a high-grade Profound Technique?"

At this thought, Ye Wei's eyes suddenly emitted a startling light. As a member of the Ye family, he was very clear about what a high-grade Profound Technique meant.

The speed of refining primordial energy with a high-grade Profound Technique was three times faster than with a mid-grade one. As long as one's talent wasn't as poor as his, a threefold increase in the speed of refining primordial energy would almost double the overall cultivation speed!

A two-fold increase in cultivation speed—what did that mean?

Cousin Ye Zhong is twenty-two years old and a Four-Star Warrior. With his talent, it would take at least two to three years of hard practice to reach the Five-Star Warrior level. If the speed were doubled, it would only take one year for Cousin Ye Zhong to reach the Five-Star Warrior level!

A Five-Star Warrior at the age of twenty-three would be considered an absolute powerhouse among the young generation in the entire Qingyue City.

Moreover, in the entire Qingyue City, no more than five families possessed a high-grade Profound Technique. If the Ye family had a high-grade Profound Technique, the family's status in Qingyue City would at least rise by one level.

The semi-transparent figure continuously circulated the technique three times, and the hand seals and circulation paths were imprinted in Ye Wei's mind, crystal clear.

Buzz!

Ye Wei, sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed, suddenly trembled all over and opened his eyes wide.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Ye Wei's hands moved in a blur, continuously changing one hundred and eight hand seals. As the seals were formed, the violent primordial energy in his dantian began to rapidly circulate through the one hundred and eight meridians in his body.

In just one hour, the violent primordial energy in his dantian, which had reached saturation, was completely refined. The speed of refining primordial energy had increased by more than two times!

"According to legend, our Ye family once had an Imperial Venerable Realm powerhouse, and the Starfall Technique passed down is merely a fragment. I always thought it was just a legend, but now it seems the legend might be true!"

"At the very least, the legend that the Starfall Technique is a fragment is true!"

"In the consciousness sea, the semi-transparent figure that walked down from the ancient divine mountain helped me perfect the Starfall Technique, elevating its quality to the high-grade Profound Technique level!"

Ye Wei's eyes were filled with disbelief and astonishment, and his face showed uncontainable joy. He tightly clenched his fists, his heart surging with intense emotions.

The quality of the "Starfall Technique" reaching the high-grade Profound Technique level would bring great benefits to both Ye Wei personally and the entire Ye family!

After a long time, Ye Wei took several deep breaths and slowly exhaled, gradually calming his excited emotions.

"My physical strength has already reached the limit of a One-Star Apprentice. Even without taking the 'Fiery Sun Body Tempering Pill,' I should be able to break through to the Two-Star Apprentice level tomorrow!"

Ye Wei excitedly muttered to himself and began to focus on cultivation again.

On the morning of the third day, as the slightly glaring sunlight shone through the window onto Ye Wei's slightly youthful face, he slowly opened his eyes. He then clenched his fist tightly and punched forward with all his might.

With a sharp whistle, Ye Wei felt the powerful force contained in the punch with great surprise.

"Is this the Two-Star Apprentice level?" Ye Wei's eyes were slightly moist. He had been in the South Star Academy for three years, and he had stayed at the One-Star Apprentice level for three years. At this moment, he had finally broken through!

From the One-Star Apprentice level to the Four-Star Apprentice level, there wouldn't be any significant changes. It was just that the physical strength, speed, and power would increase slightly. Only after reaching the Five-Star Apprentice level would there be a qualitative improvement.

After reaching the Five-Star Apprentice level, the skin would be as hard as iron, and the speed and power would increase exponentially!

"Father, Mother, your son has broken through! Your son has also reached the Two-Star Apprentice level!" Ye Wei looked in the direction of his family, and warm tears quietly slid down his cheeks.

It had been three whole years... The significance of this breakthrough to Ye Wei was something others couldn't understand.

"Go home!"

Ye Wei couldn't wait to tell his parents and Cousin Ye Zhong, who had always taken care of him, about his breakthrough. Since he had already skipped classes for two days, he didn't care about skipping one more day.

He quickly packed his belongings, carefully hid the bottle containing nine remaining Fiery Sun Body Tempering Pills close to his chest, and closed the dormitory door. Then, he walked towards the main gate of the South Star Academy.

Since it was early morning, the students were in class, and there weren't many people lingering in the academy. Although the teaching at the South Star Academy was quite relaxed, most students still listened to their classes diligently!

Bathed in the morning light, Ye Wei walked out of the academy and set off on the road home.
