Chapter 78

...

At this moment, Ye Xiao actually felt that the spiritual energy within his body was beginning to fluctuate and change subtly.

This was a sign that he was about to advance to a higher level.

The difference between a Grand Master and a Master lies in the fact that a Grand Master is not just practicing martial arts.

They also cultivate martial arts to the point where the martial arts concept is integrated into their martial arts practice.

Only when the two are combined can one advance; neither can be missing.

For example, if the martial arts concept is sufficient, but the storage of spiritual energy in the body has not reached the limit, one cannot advance.

Similarly, if the spiritual energy has reached the critical point, but the martial arts concept is insufficient, one cannot easily advance either.

With the backing of the Golden Book Divine Soul, Ye Xiao cultivated several top-tier techniques simultaneously, and the speed at which he absorbed spiritual energy was actually very fast.

At the very least, it was much faster than that of a typical Grand Master.

In this world, the cultivation techniques and mental techniques, when continuously practiced, can enhance one's cultivation.

The only difference between the two is that one is used for combat, and the other is used to restore spiritual energy.

Therefore, when his concept was sufficient, it was very easy for him to break through.

The last time Ye Xiao broke through, it was because he understood the importance of protection.

Protecting himself and protecting his companions.

And this time, what Ye Xiao understood was the greater good of the nation!

There was a saying from his previous life that Ye Xiao had always liked very much.

A great hero is one who serves the country and the people!

This "hero" does not necessarily refer to a powerful martial artist. It can be a street vendor, a border guard, or even a scientist who works tirelessly and silently for the country!

They might be of low status and unknown, or they might choose to remain anonymous to avoid the constraints of the secular world.

But!

When the country or compatriots are in danger, they can still step forward without hesitation to help.

This... is what a hero is!

Although he works at the library and doesn't want to get involved in secular disputes,

In the face of the greater good of the nation, he has a clear sense of right and wrong and a firm heart.

Not using various excuses and reasons to ignore and act selfishly.

How could such a heart, oriented towards the light, not have the qualifications to advance to a higher level?

The fluctuations in Ye Xiao's spiritual energy became even more intense!

Like water about to boil, the movements became increasingly violent.

Pop—!

Finally, with a dull sound, the spiritual energy within Ye Xiao's body, like a cloud parting to reveal the sky, entered a brand new realm.

Ninth Rank of the Innate Realm!

At this moment, the amount of spiritual energy in his body became even thicker!

At this moment, his martial arts concept became even more profound!

At this moment, he was even closer to the word "invincible"!

The scorching weather in Jianghai City suddenly had a slight cool breeze, refreshing the heart and lungs.

Countless citizens of Jianghai City, feeling this refreshing breeze, their restless hearts were soothed and calmed down.

The maple leaves on the roadside turned red, and the chrysanthemums, facing the cool breeze, bloomed silently after the other flowers.

The coolness of autumn was truly delightful.

...

When Ye Xiao finished lunch and returned to the library, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

Ning Yuheng and a few librarians were discussing something. As Ye Xiao passed by, he glanced over and couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

They were looking at a newspaper, discussing a fighter jet featured in it.

And this fighter jet was the one Ye Xiao had just provided the blueprints for.

"Manager is here."

Ning Yuheng and the others noticed Ye Xiao's arrival and immediately greeted him.

Ye Xiao nodded, hands behind his back, and watched them discuss.

When did these guys become so interested in war technology?

A young man was the most enthusiastic in the discussion.

"This is the strongest fighter jet in the latest war technology announced by America! The Star Trace! It's the most advanced in the world! It can unleash the combat power and speed of a Grand Master!

The cost of a single one is over sixty billion US dollars.

It's said that only experts at the Master level or above can even qualify to control it."

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly at the back.

Is this fighter jet really that powerful?

However, it's not wrong to say that when the three fighter jets launched six attacks, he was indeed threatened and slightly injured when he was unprepared.

And those six attacks indeed had the combat power of a Grand Master.

If it were a regular, no, even three regular Grand Masters, they might fall if they were not careful when facing those three fighter jets.

Unfortunately, they encountered someone who could fight beyond their level, and the result was...

Forget it, no need to think about it anymore.

It's a good thing, after all, that he has already handed over the design drawings and data USB to Changfeng. This is a good thing for Jiuzhou.

Ning Yuheng couldn't help but sigh,

"If only we in Jiuzhou could create such a fighter jet, that would be great."

"I wish, but it's too difficult for us right now. Our development of war technology and genetic technology is far behind. The other side also has a technology blockade and won't teach us. Jiuzhou can only rely on its own exploration, and it's not possible to create a fighter jet comparable to the Star Trace in the short term.

But one day, we will definitely create and surpass America's fighter jets!"

"I really hope someone can create it now!"

"If someone could create the Star Trace fighter jet now, they would definitely go down in history and leave a significant mark in Jiuzhou's scientific field!

If that's not possible, even stealing the design of the Star Trace would be fine.

When it's submitted, whether it's honor or rewards, I think it would be at the peak of Jiuzhou!"

"Would they give a few billion?"

"A few billion? At the very least, it would start from a few hundred billion to a trillion!"

Ye Xiao: "..."

This fighter jet... is it really that valuable?

His face was somewhat stunned.

After a long while, he finally came to his senses and took a deep breath.

Forget it.

Money is just an external possession.

He was contributing to the country, for the greater good of the nation, how could he think about money?

Too vulgar!

Thinking this, Ye Xiao started reading again.

He had already learned six body cultivation techniques, and he estimated that with one or two more, at most three, he could collect all the basic body cultivation techniques.

Then, he could fuse them into a top-tier body cultivation technique.

That way, not only would his defense increase significantly, giving him another means of survival, but when he used the Divine Will Technique, his skin wouldn't be torn by the powerful wind force.

However, as usual, it was always difficult to find the last one or two techniques.

Most cultivation techniques have the same origin.

Cultivation techniques evolve from a basic technique, with thousands of versions. With additions, deletions, and modifications, a new technique might be created.

But no matter how they change, they don't deviate from their origin.

Ye Xiao wasn't discouraged.

He would find them eventually; it's just a matter of time.
