Chapter 2

In the scene in his mind, Ye Xing felt a sense of familiarity and quickly recalled it.

When he participated in the internal testing of the mystical world, his body was also scanned like this, but at that time, it was a supercomputer that scanned him!

Could it be—?

Ye Xing's heart trembled as an incredible thought flashed through his mind!

The supercomputer had merged with his brain, making his brain a superbrain that was billions of times more powerful than an ordinary person's!

Ye Xing was very clear about how powerful the supercomputer was. If a person's brain had the same level of functionality as a supercomputer, how intelligent would that person be?

That person would definitely have a photographic memory, understanding and mastering anything at first glance, and would undoubtedly be an extremely talented genius!

To verify his thoughts, Ye Xing shifted his gaze from Xiao Qing and focused intently on the wall in front of him.

The scanning function of the superbrain was not limited to the human body.

Sure enough, under Ye Xing's gaze, the wall in front of him soon became transparent, leaving only some veins. The components of the soil and rocks in the wall were scanned by the superbrain, revealing many unknown minerals not found on Earth!

Penetrating a wall was clearly not the limit of the superbrain's scanning ability. Soon, Ye Xing's gaze penetrated the second and third walls, forming a semi-transparent model in his mind. The walls were no longer solid but a network of veins.

When Ye Xing's gaze penetrated three walls, he saw figures in front of him. He knew where this was—it was the hall outside his parents' room.

Parents?

Ye Xing's heart trembled. He was an orphan and had no parents, but the word "parents" had instinctively flashed through his mind. This was clearly the original owner's instinctive consciousness.

The original owner had the deepest memories of his parents. Although he was a waste of a body, which disappointed Ye Feihong and Liu E, as an only son, Ye Feihong and Liu E still cared for him a lot.

However, everything changed after Liu E had a second child. Ye Feihong and Liu E focused all their attention on the second child, gradually neglecting and becoming cold towards him.

Especially as the birth of the second child drew near, Liu E had been in seclusion for over a month, and Ye Feihong completely ignored him.

The second child was crucial for the continuation of the Ye family's lineage. At this time, Ye Xing, being a waste of a body, was naturally neglected or even abandoned.

Through the memories, Ye Xing could feel that the original owner was a filial son with a deep attachment to his parents, even after death, his subconscious still harbored deep affection for them.

Although the original owner was a waste of a body and could not enter the path of martial arts, he had always trained his physical body diligently, making it extremely strong. Despite being only sixteen years old, his body contained considerable strength.

In this unfamiliar world, Ye Xing had no idea where to go. The Ye family was a martial arts family, and if he wanted to cultivate, he had to stay in the Ye family.

Therefore, since he had taken over the original owner's body, he had to use the original owner's identity to stay in the Ye family.

So, the original owner's parents were now his parents.

As for the original owner's fiancée, Ye Xing snorted coldly in his heart, he would divorce her sooner or later!

It was deep in the night, but there were so many people in the hall, clearly indicating that his mother was about to give birth to the second child.

His younger brother or sister was already neglected by his father and mother while still in the womb. If they were born, he would probably be even more neglected.

Ye Xing sighed inwardly. If the original owner hadn't died, the future would have been tough.

However, he didn't care. He only needed the original owner's identity. Whether his father and mother cared for him or not, he didn't mind!

Suddenly, Xiao Qing's voice came from beside him, "Young Master, do you understand?"

Ye Xing immediately retracted his gaze and nodded, saying, "It's a piece of cake!"

Although he had only glanced at Xiao Qing, Ye Xing had already scanned her cultivation process into the superbrain, including the flow of stellar energy in her body.

Ye Xing immediately followed Xiao Qing's posture, placing his five points toward the sky, closing his eyes, and calming his mind. He focused his senses on the celestial stars.

In just a blink, Ye Xing felt a surging power descending from a distant place, enveloping his body.

In an instant, a dark sky appeared in his perception, with the vague outline of a massive star. The surging power was descending from that massive dark star, making his body feel extremely comfortable.

What surprised Ye Xing even more was that he felt his body's strength increasing and his power rising.

"Y-Young Master, you... you really sensed the stellar energy?"

Xiao Qing covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes full of shock, looking at above Ye Xing.

Above Ye Xing, the roof had transformed into a dark sky.

In Ye Xing's perception, there was a vague outline of a massive star in the dark sky, but in Xiao Qing's eyes, it was pitch black, and she couldn't see anything, which was vastly different from what she knew about sensing stars.

The first time someone sensed a star, a strange phenomenon would appear, reflecting the star they sensed, known as a star phase!

The star phase varied in quality based on the star sensed, and it was an important part of one's potential!

Xiao Qing had never heard of a case where a star phase appeared but was completely dark, with no visible star phase.

However, the appearance of the star phase and the surging stellar energy proved that Ye Xing had indeed sensed the stellar energy and was now guiding it into his body to strengthen it.

Xiao Qing found it hard to believe. Ye Xing was clearly a waste of a body, and he had tried countless times before without sensing the stellar energy. This time, he sensed it almost effortlessly, as if it were a natural progression!

According to her knowledge, the first time someone guided stellar energy to strengthen their body, it took a long time, at least half an hour, and sometimes even a whole day!

"Could it be that Young Master spent so much time sensing stellar energy in the past, and the cumulative time finally made it possible for him to sense it this time?"

Xiao Qing thought about it, recalling the time Ye Xing had spent sensing stellar energy, which added up to at least a few months. She couldn't help but think: "So, Young Master isn't a waste of a body, but just has an incomparably poor aptitude?"

The stellar energy entering his body instinctively strengthened Ye Xing's body, with remarkable results. However, Ye Xing noticed that only a small portion of the stellar energy was absorbed by his body, while most of it was lost.

But because the stellar energy he sensed was so surging, even a small portion being absorbed significantly increased his body's strength.

Ye Xing then controlled the flow of stellar energy in his body according to the way it flowed in Xiao Qing's body.

The superbrain quickly scanned Ye Xing's body, identifying the three meridians where Xiao Qing's stellar energy flowed. He controlled the stellar energy in his body to flow into these three meridians.

Instantly, a large amount of stellar energy gathered in the three meridians and was then distributed throughout his body. The speed at which Ye Xing absorbed stellar energy increased by more than ten times compared to his previous random absorption.

Ye Xing's body was constantly strengthening, and his strength was rapidly increasing. After about half an hour, the dark sky above him disappeared, cutting off the connection to the stellar energy.

At this point, Ye Xing's body strength and power had more than doubled compared to before he sensed the star. He felt his entire body was full of strength.

Comparing his body strength with Xiao Qing's in the superbrain, he found that his body was slightly stronger. Xiao Qing was a first-level martial artist, indicating that Ye Xing had already entered the path of martial arts and reached the first level. A star ring had formed in his dantian.

This was only the first night Ye Xing had arrived on the Stellar Continent, and he had already taken the first step in martial arts. He was extremely excited. His dream of becoming a supreme expert and a king among kings had already begun.

Ye Xing's heart was filled with ambition, and his voice was full of hope as he said, "Stellar Continent, I, Ye Xing, have arrived. I will definitely become a supreme expert and travel the world, making my journey on the Stellar Continent worthwhile!"

Xiao Qing, of course, couldn't detect the hidden meaning in Ye Xing's words, but she couldn't help but laugh when he said he would become a supreme expert.

In Xiao Qing's view, her young master's aptitude was so poor that it was a joke to think he could become a supreme expert!

Xiao Qing covered her mouth and laughed, "Young Master, you just sensed the star, and it's unknown when you'll reach the first level of martial arts. You're still so far from being a supreme expert, it's like a journey of ten thousand miles!"

Ye Xing didn't mind Xiao Qing's contempt and asked, "Tell me, what level must one reach to be considered a supreme expert? Why am I so far from it?"

Xiao Qing explained, "Martial arts have nine major levels. The first three levels are for strengthening the body, known as martial disciples, which is the entry stage. The middle three levels involve generating internal energy, and only then can one be considered a true martial artist!"

At this point, Xiao Qing's voice became more passionate and filled with longing, "Only when one reaches the seventh level, where internal energy can be released externally to injure from a distance, can one be called a martial master, a true expert. However, even at the seventh level, one is only a local hero. To be considered a great expert in the entire Falling Star Kingdom, one must reach the eighth level, the grandmaster."

Xiao Qing's tone changed, "But the true top experts in the Falling Star Kingdom are the ninth-level grandmasters! Even at the ninth level, one cannot be called a supreme expert!"

Ye Xing asked, "What level must one reach to be considered a supreme expert?"

Xiao Qing's eyes filled with hope and reverence. She took a deep breath before saying, "Only those who surpass the ninth level and become martial saints can be considered supreme experts, capable of standing against a thousand soldiers!"
