We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

Chapter 113 The Eight-in-One Great Sun Contemplation Method
[A skill that can be solidified has been detected.]

Suddenly, a notification sound popped up on the panel.

However, at this moment, Shen Bailian had no time to pay attention to the messages popping up on his own panel, because all his energy was being used to resist the pull of the great sun on his mental power.

It seemed that the great sun wouldn't be satisfied until it had completely absorbed his spiritual power.

"Ah~~ Ah~~"

Shen Bailian's body trembled violently. He roared inwardly, and his spiritual sea surged violently, trying to escape the gravitational vortex of the great sun.

However, no matter how hard he tried, it was all in vain. As a mere martial artist at the Foundation Establishment Realm, his spiritual power had not yet been formally materialized.

How can one resist the immense power of heaven and earth?

All of a sudden.

Li Feiyu and Feng Yanqiu exchanged glances for a moment, their expressions changing drastically as they immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, as members of prominent families.

Although they were killed by that boy in the virtual world this morning, victory and defeat are common occurrences among martial artists.

No one would stand by and watch someone die over something so trivial.

Wang Yuxuan and the others dared not waste a moment. Their internal organs were drawn by the power of the heaven and earth's primordial energy, and they began to resonate rapidly. Their muscles and bones throbbed, and power surged forth continuously.

The distance of several tens of meters, including the time for acceleration, was less than a second, and the person was already beside the boy.

And at the same time.

Their combined spiritual energy had been fully gathered.

The four looked at each other for a moment, nodded heavily, and then, in the next instant, gathered their energy in their dantian and shouted in unison, "Freeze!"

In an instant, the shouts of Wang Yuxuan and the other three, like the booming of a great bell, struck Shen Bailian's mind, causing his mental energy to dissipate.

After a while~
"hu~hu~"

Shen Bailian's chest heaved violently as he gasped for breath, his pupils dilated. He hadn't fully recovered his senses, and his trembling body swayed.

Just as Shen Bailian was about to collapse to the ground, Li Feiyu, quick-witted and agile, rushed forward to support the boy and pinched his philtrum.

"Are you swooning over a guy again?"

Wang Yuxuan glanced at Feng Yanqiu, who was eager to try, and said calmly.

"Hey." Feng Yanqiu said with a nonchalant smile, "How can this be called being infatuated? I just saved his life, a beauty saving a hero."

Wang Yuxuan and Chen Jiyue exchanged a glance, feeling quite annoyed as they watched Feng Yanqiu start babbling on again. In the end, Wang Yuxuan used her ultimate weapon, shutting Feng Yanqiu up with just four words.

Princess Taiping.

"Ho~"

"Whoo~"

Shen Bailian snapped back to reality, her pupils focusing. Once she was fully conscious, she realized she was being supported by a burly, blond man.

He felt that the person was somewhat familiar, but due to the exhaustion of his mental energy and the pain in his head, he couldn't remember who the person was for the time being.

Suddenly, a clear, melodious, and somewhat familiar voice rang in my ears, and the tranquil evening breeze carried a faint scent of perfume.

"Do you feel better?"

"Who are you?" Shen Bailian stood up shakily, frowning slightly. His head ached as if it were about to split open, as if it were inlaid with steel needles.

Finally, under the worried gazes of Wang Yuxuan and the others, Shen Bailian took a long time to calm down before stammering, "You, you are Wang Yuxuan?"

"Correct!"

Wang Yuxuan nodded heavily, exchanged glances with Li Feiyu and the other two, and a look of relief and joy flashed in her eyes. Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

After all, that was the Great Sun, which was an eight-in-one entity. Countless martial artists died while gazing at the Great Sun. Even if some were lucky enough to be rescued, they would suffer from amnesia at best, and become mentally disabled or intellectually challenged at worst.

Therefore, it is clear how fortunate Wang Yuxuan and the others were that Shen Bailian was able to survive unharmed.

"Who are you?" Shen Bailian turned to look at the people around him, and memories flooded back into his mind.

However, embarrassingly, when Shen Bailian looked at the four people in front of him, he only knew Wang Yuxuan's name. Although he recognized the names of the others, he did not know their names.

"Li Feiyu." The blond, burly man seemed to sense Shen Bailian's embarrassment, smiled slightly, and said his name.

"Chen Jiyue".

"My name is Feng Yanqiu, we've met before," the girl said with a smile. "I saved your life this time, so can we connect on Star Alliance?"

"Row."

Shen Bailian was slightly taken aback because he didn't expect the girl's request to be so simple. He then immediately opened his Starlink account and added Feng Yanqiu as a friend.

“Then let’s add them all,” Wang Yuxuan suggested. Shen Bailian certainly wouldn’t refuse, after all, these four were his saviors. After adding the Star Alliance, he immediately clasped his hands and said, “Thank you all for saving my life. I will definitely repay you handsomely in the future.”

"No need for a generous reward, it was just a small favor." Li Feiyu waved his hand dismissively.

"Yes, we're all classmates, it was just a small thing I did on a whim." Wang Yuxuan said with a gentle smile.
"If you were in our shoes, you would make the same choice as us."

There is no doubt about this.

In the Great Xia Dynasty, a martial artist's moral character is just as important as their strength. In such a world, martial artists die on the front lines every day.

If the martial artists trained in the rear have strength but lack basic moral principles, how can Great Xia become the world's number one?

How could this Zhou Tian Star Array be established?

"What's with all the fuss and hesitation, man?" Feng Yanqiu said with a smile. "If you really want to thank me, do it during the second round of trials."

"Qiu'er!" She was interrupted before she could finish speaking.

"Oh." Feng Yanqiu, seeing Wang Yuxuan about to get angry, immediately covered her armpits and said rather dejectedly, "I was just joking, look how angry you are."

Wang Yuxuan ignored this clown and looked at the boy in front of her, instructing him: "Don't look at the sun casually in the future, and don't take it to heart."

"The Great Sun?" Shen Bailian asked in confusion.

“Yes.” Wang Yuxuan nodded heavily and said, “The Great Sun is what was pulling at your mind just now, that is…”

As Wang Yuxuan recounted her story, Shen Bailian finally understood what he had seen earlier and why his mind had been drawn to it like a moth to a flame.

The Great Sun is neither the Xihe Star Palace nor the core of the Zhou Tian Star Array.

It is an eight-in-one sun.

At the beginning of the new era, ten suns appeared in the sky. Within just a few hours, the vast land was transformed into a living hell, and that period was also the time when the human race suffered the most severe casualties.

Fortunately, the gods fell quickly enough, and power was returned to the world's consciousness. In that instant, eight of the ten suns disappeared, leaving only two suns in the sky.

At first, many people genuinely believed that the eight suns had disappeared.

However, an unknown spiritualist (a path of the extraordinary that has become a research profession) by chance, at the cost of his own life, proved to the world the location of the vanished eight suns.

However, this spiritualist also proved to everyone the danger of the Great Sun.

After all, during a battle, everyone needs to concentrate, and it's impossible to always have your back to the east. You might accidentally glance at someone and they're gone.

Therefore, for a period of time afterward, most martial artists in the Great Xia Dynasty whose spiritual power had reached the threshold of materialization would hold their breath and concentrate their spiritual power before dying, looking at the great sun.

In just one month, two basic patterns were discovered.

First: If one's mental strength is too low, one cannot see the sun and will not be affected in any way. Only when one's mental strength has reached the threshold of materialization and one concentrates can one see the sun.

Second: Once your mental strength reaches the required level, as long as you gaze eastward without deliberately seeking its existence, you will not be affected by the Great Sun.

Simply put, it's like when a child cries: the more you care, the deeper you get involved; if you ignore it for a while and let it cool down, the situation will improve a lot.

But ultimately...

No one can be blamed for this. After all, Duan Wuyai would never dare to dream that Shen Bailian could reach a spiritual power level of 9.9 at the initial stage of the Establishing Life Realm with just a second-tier Spirit Nourishing Fruit.

Even the renowned Xu Changqing, when he first entered the Transcendent Realm, used his powerful physical strength to cultivate his spiritual power to level 10.0, achieving a preliminary state of spiritual power materialization.

"Alright, let's go back to cultivate now." Wang Yuxuan and the other three said as they walked outside, reminding each other again, "Remember, if there's nothing else, don't stare at the Great Sun."

"Ah."

Shen Bailian nodded heavily. Even now, thinking about that feeling still makes him a little apprehensive, so naturally he wouldn't dare to try it again so easily.

He watched Wang Yuxuan and the other three leave silently for a while, thinking to himself: If I have the chance, I must repay this life-saving grace.

Only after the four figures were completely out of sight did Shen Bailian decide to go back to rest.

He didn't plan to cultivate tonight either, because his mental energy was almost exhausted and he needed to get a good night's rest.

"Eh?"

As Shen Bailian reached the door, he suddenly froze, memories surging in his mind: "Didn't a message pop up on the panel earlier?"

Because he was still in a relatively clear state when his mental energy was pulled to half, he heard the notification sound from the panel.

It was simply because he was at a critical juncture in life and death that Shen Bailian didn't have the leisure or energy to pay attention to his own data panel.

As he was thinking, Shen Bailian's eyes flickered slightly, and he opened the panel. The moment he opened it, a message popped up on the panel—

[Detected a potential skill: the Eight-in-One Great Sun Visualization Concept – Will it be solidified?]
