Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

9231, as the name suggests, is room 31 on the 92nd floor of the teaching building.

The office is over 100 square meters, with an office area and a reception area, and huge floor-to-ceiling windows on the south and west sides.

The setting sun cast a beautiful red glow, which, filtered through the glass wall, resembled a giant soft-boiled egg.

Qingyuan Star is illuminated by only one star, and surrounded by twelve small satellites, which means that sometimes twelve moons can be seen at night.

This was the first time Gao Wu had seen the academy from such a high vantage point. From this position, one could see a huge lake in the center of the academy, with various buildings arranged in an orderly fashion around it.

The college buildings are full of order, while the huge lake and the waterways that run through them add a touch of nature.

As the highest star master academy on Qingyuan Star, Qingcheng is indeed very impressive!

Gao Wu admired the scenery of the academy, and he was quite impressed. A high-end academy should have the appearance and grandeur of a high-end academy, so that every visitor could see the glory and greatness of the academy.

He was already a member of Qingcheng, so naturally he hoped that Qingcheng could become stronger and be worthy of his student...

"Please take a seat."

Having witnessed Gao Wu's swordsmanship and fist techniques while riding the Star Armor, Ye Ning felt a greater respect for Gao Wu.

Although this person was a bit old, she was truly capable. She also had high hopes for Gao Wu, and her attitude towards him was even more enthusiastic.

"What kind of tea would you like?"

"Black tea." Gao Wu didn't really care, but saying "anything is fine" would be too casual, so he made a request directly.

Ye Ning opened the drawer and selected one of the dozens of teas to boil water and brew.

Drinking tea while discussing business can make the atmosphere more relaxed and can also help adjust the pace of the conversation.

While brewing tea, Ye Ning said, "Let me give you a brief introduction. The Dragon-Tiger Meditation Method involves visualizing the transformations of a dragon and a tiger. It is the most authentic and important meditation method in Qingcheng."

"The Dragon and Tiger also refer to the transformation of Yin and Yang, taking the wonder of the balance between strength and gentleness. This method is taken from the orthodox Xuanmen, it is impartial and unbiased, the most correct and just, and it is also the most advanced visualization method in the world today."

"Of course, the key to visualization techniques above level sixteen is a secret, and you need to accumulate enough contribution points to obtain it."

Gao Wu nodded. That's more like it.

Advanced meditation techniques are the Alliance's most important knowledge, and naturally cannot be easily passed on.

"The Nine Sounds Method is profound, taking the ultimate principle of the vibration of all things, using one's own spirit as the string, and plucking all things."

Ye Ning explained, "This technique is extremely powerful, but it requires exceptional talent. If you can't get the hang of it, you'll never be able to master it."

Gao Wu was slightly tempted. The so-called Nine Sounds sounded very similar to the Dragon Roar Nine Heavens Technique. It was nothing more than using spiritual power to stimulate resonance, thereby destroying the opponent's consciousness and star armor.

Although the Yang spirit is restricted by the rules of the universe, it can adjust its frequency at will to achieve resonance.

Mastering the nine-tone method will make you virtually invincible against your peers.

Through the resonance of the nine tones, one can continuously resonate with the source of this universe, releasing the power of the Yang God at the fastest speed.

Ye Ning noticed Gao Wu's expression and knew that he wanted to learn Jiu Yin. However, she didn't quite agree with this idea.

The Nine Sounds is good, and it can even be said to be the most powerful of the four advanced visualization methods, but this method is difficult to learn and master.

She continued, "The Heavenly Escape Visualization Method emphasizes change and is suitable for Star Masters who take agile and fast routes. The Heavenly Net Visualization Method, on the other hand, emphasizes defense, using the sky as a net, which is sparse yet leaves no loopholes. It is the most rigorous and thorough."

Ye Ning said seriously, "I see that your swordsmanship is superb, and the Heavenly Escape technique is actually very compatible with your spiritual power characteristics."

Gao Wu nodded slightly. The Dragon Soaring Sword technique he demonstrated followed this approach, so it was normal for Ye Ning to have this view.

The spiritual concepts and ideas of this realm must be combined with the source power and star armor, and must also be in harmony with the spiritual power characteristics of the star master.

His Yang Spirit is part of the Taiyi Battle Body, and it is also a transformation of his martial arts realm.

The Nine Dragons Limitless Way emphasizes change and the integration of all methods, and has no fixed characteristics.

At least at this level, his Yang Spirit can simulate any spiritual quality.

Regardless of the type of spiritual magic, he can adjust his mental magnetic field state as needed.

Gao Wu asked, "Can I see the visualization method first?"

Based solely on Ye Ning's description, there's still a significant gap. He needs to examine the visualization techniques before making a decision.

"can."

Ye Ning first sent Gao Wu an electronic confidentiality agreement, which contained strict confidentiality clauses, namely that the meditation method could not be disclosed in any way.

Once discovered, severe punishment will be imposed.

After Gao Wu signed the agreement, he received an electronic document.

The document contains the first three hundred words of four meditation methods, purely textual.

After taking a look, Gao Wu felt that Dragon Tiger indeed had a higher potential, Nine Sounds was the most powerful, Heavenly Escape had the most variations, and Heavenly Net was the most stable.

In the long run, only choosing the Dragon and Tiger path should allow one to directly reach the Divine General level. However, all visualization techniques above level sixteen require contribution points to exchange for.

He knew very well that the so-called exchange actually had a prerequisite: passing the review.

As an alien who joined Qingcheng halfway through his life, and given his unique circumstances, it would be difficult for him to gain the trust of Qingcheng's higher-ups in a short period of time.

If he weren't in such a hurry to find Qi, he could have patiently spent ten or eight years in Qingcheng, and these things wouldn't have been difficult.

After considering it for a moment, Gao Wu chose the Heavenly Escape Meditation Method.

At the same level, the Heavenly Escape technique allows him to have more precise control over the Star Armor. Otherwise, even if his awareness is in place, it's all for nothing if the Star Armor isn't.

With this advanced meditation technique, he could advance to level fifteen.

There must be an upper limit to the Heavenly Escape Technique, which is why the threshold for teaching it is lowered.

For him, efficiency is what matters now, not the potential...

Once he reaches a certain level, with his forty points of innate talent and the Qilin Divine Hero Mantra, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to comprehend the corresponding spiritual concepts, right?
His current problem is that he knows nothing about advanced meditation methods. Once he gets to the basics, he will naturally be able to apply what he has learned to other situations and glimpse the true secrets of meditation.

Ye Ning agreed with Gao Wu's choice and immediately sent him the Heavenly Escape Visualization Technique.

After finishing, he instructed Gao Wu that there would be a public class tomorrow morning, mainly about advanced star armor knowledge, all of which were very important.

Gao Wu returned to his dormitory and read through the Heavenly Escape Meditation Technique.

The complete Heavenly Escape Meditation Method is very detailed, with live explanations and demonstrations, as well as animated demonstrations of various visualization effects, visualizing abstract entities such as spiritual magnetic fields and source power, making them easier for people to understand.

Visualization can also bring some minor problems, such as making it easy for people to misunderstand the essence of these abstract things.

The advantage is that it makes it easy for people to get started. Once their cultivation level improves and they have their own insights, they will no longer be limited by visual things.

The Heavenly Escape Meditation Technique is indeed very advanced, a hundred times more advanced than the meditation techniques learned by this body.

The core of the Heavenly Escape Meditation Method is to transform one's spiritual magnetic field into a flying sword through meditation, which comes and goes without a trace.

The flying sword itself is merely a manifestation of an image, primarily guiding the star master to experience that fleeting and unpredictable state.

Visualizing a flying sword also involves corresponding incantations, breathing techniques, and methods for adjusting one's source energy. The entire visualization method is quite complex and requires some physical coordination.

Gao Wu believes that physical movements are mainly auxiliary, and the real key is to adjust mental power and change the magnetic field state.

Spiritual power is like the electromagnetic waves emitted by a neural network. It is invisible and intangible to star masters, and it is extremely difficult to visualize and materialize spiritual power.

Therefore, the number of advanced star masters is quite limited.

Gao Wu understood the principle after practicing it once. He selected the Divine Dragon Path from among the Nine Dragons to replace the flying sword he was visualizing.

The dragon appears only briefly, never revealing its true form; it emphasizes agility and change, just like the core principle of celestial escape.

Visualizing a flying sword simply makes it easier for star masters to understand and to enter the state of sudden appearance and unpredictable changes.

Gao Wu's use of the divine dragon as a substitute is more in line with his own state. More importantly, it allows him to introduce the Nine Dragons Limitless Dao into this world, making it more in line with the source power laws of this world.

The effects are immediate. With the dragon as the core of visualization, the mental magnetic field is immediately greatly enhanced, and the ability to mobilize source power is also improved.

After performing the complete meditation three times, Gao Wu had fully mastered the Heavenly Escape Visualization Technique and was extremely proficient at it, as if he had been cultivating it for decades.

He has mastered this advanced meditation technique!
Although Gao Wu couldn't test it, he felt that his mental strength should have reached 500 points, which is the peak of level 15.

Just one more step forward and you'll reach the level of a master.

However, Gao Wu also clearly felt that his spiritual power was encountering invisible constraints.

It's like a transparent glass wall blocking his way forward. Even though he's reached the threshold of mastery, if he can't find a way to cross it, he might be trapped here forever.

Gao Wu pondered all night, but by dawn he still couldn't grasp the key point.

He felt that this must be some kind of limitation imposed by the laws of the universe, and that humanity in this world had only managed to find a way to break through this limitation after thousands of years of exploration by countless elite sages.

This is a collection of the wisdom and experience of countless sages. Even with the divine Qilin Divine Mantra, it would be difficult for him to understand it in a short time.

Gao Wu decided to stop thinking about it, slept for four hours, and went to the large classroom for a general course at ten o'clock in the morning.

The huge classroom has tiered seating for students, enough to accommodate hundreds of students at once.

In fact, there were only a few dozen people in the classroom, and they were scattered around, with very few people sitting together.

Gao Wu also saw a familiar face in the classroom—the young man who had been outside the training room yesterday.

He checked the information of the students in the same class and learned that this person was named Li Guofeng, who was also the most outstanding Star Master in the 138th Advanced Student Class and had already reached level fourteen.

Normally, most Star Masters who pursue advanced training are at level 11 or 12, while level 14 Star Masters are very rare.

Qingcheng holds an advanced training class every six months, so there are still 137 classes of students. Among them, the strongest are Wang Si'an and Liu Guanying, whose information states they are at level fourteen.

These people all seem to be here for the Sword Tournament. They're taking advantage of the time before the tournament starts to spend a few months at the academy preparing.

Gao Wu didn't care about this; he reached level fifteen in one night. If it weren't for the limitations of the meditation method, advancing to the master level wouldn't have been difficult.

Those few people were decent, but that was all. They couldn't possibly be compared to him. He had no need to pay them any attention.

When Li Guofeng saw Gao Wu enter, he instinctively avoided Gao Wu's gaze, but then he realized that this made it seem as if he was afraid of Gao Wu.

He then looked at Gao Wu again, his gaze sharp and unyielding.

Gao Wu was a little confused. What was this kid up to? He didn't care. It was normal for him not to understand what the proud and arrogant little rooster was thinking.

The instructors arrived and mainly explained various advanced star armor related knowledge, such as the internal structure of star armor, the advantages and disadvantages of different types of star armor, and how to better maintain star armor in intense battles, etc.

This is all practical information, containing extremely useful knowledge. This kind of knowledge won't circulate online, and even if someone records it, they can't share it...

As a counselor, Ye Ning sat at the back of the classroom, recording individual attendance.

She can watch the surveillance video, but she's just a counselor, so she needs to perform well and be present for these general classes.

Ye Ning noticed the eye contact between Li Guofeng and Gao Wu. She was mainly focused on Gao Wu, but she also caught a glimpse of Li Guofeng's subtle expressions.

She was also a little puzzled. Although Li Guofeng was very sharp and had no conflicts with Gao Wu, did he just dislike Gao Wu?
After a night, Ye Ning felt that Gao Wu's eyes seemed brighter, which should mean that his cultivation had yielded some results.

She was also curious about this and decided to talk to Gao Wu about his meditation practice after class.

Li Guofeng is alright, but that's about it. He hasn't even reached level 15, so he's unlikely to make any significant impact at the Sword Tournament.

On the contrary, the mysterious and unpredictable Gao Wu always made her feel that he had great potential and was worth investing some energy in.

After the large class ended, Ye Ning contacted Gao Wu via the terminal. The two met in the corridor, but before Ye Ning could inquire about the cultivation progress, Li Guofeng arrived.

Li Guofeng greeted Ye Ning politely before turning to Gao Wu and saying, "I watched you train at the training ground yesterday; your swordsmanship is truly excellent."

He said earnestly to Gao Wu, "I would like to spar with you and learn from you. Is that convenient?"

It wasn't for Ye Ning's sake, but seeing Gao Wu practicing swordsmanship made him very uncomfortable.

Surrounded by advanced students, each with strong mental power and keen perception, Li Guofeng's words immediately attracted the attention of many.

Many students were curious about the sudden emergence of Gao Wu.

After all, it's quite rare to see a senior student in their thirties. On the other hand, Gao Wu is also an alien; he used to be a professional Battle.net player.

These factors combined make Gao Wu even more special.

Li Guofeng's challenge, on the contrary, was not surprising. He just likes to spar with others.

After several sparring sessions, he established himself as the top player in the 138th advanced class.

Gao Wu didn't mind playing around with Li Guofeng, but he still looked at Ye Ning for his opinion: "Teacher Ye, is it alright to spar?"

Ye Ning nodded; the academy strongly encouraged this.

How can you determine the winner between Star Masters and Star Armorers without actually fighting?

In literature, there is no first place; in martial arts, there is no second. It is precisely by distinguishing between superior and inferior that people's fighting spirit is stimulated and they are motivated to keep moving forward.

Star armor is expensive and too dangerous in actual combat. Even star masters need to use the battle network for sparring.

The difference lies in the fact that both sides use specially designed cockpits that completely simulate the cockpits of the Star Armor. Depending on the Star Armor, the corresponding parameters can be adjusted to make it as close to actual combat as possible.

Upon hearing that Li Guofeng was going to fight Gao Wu, the Qingcheng Academy's intranet immediately became lively.

Liu Guanying and Wang Si'an received the message and entered the internal network. The spectator seats were already filled with many people.

Not only were there advanced students, but also full-time lower-grade students. The fully simulated environment made the scene very noisy and lively...

Wang Si'an and Liu Guanying laughed and said, "What a grand display!"

Liu Guanying also laughed: "Li Guofeng has been very popular these past few months. Everyone thinks he's a master and has a lot of following."

"I wonder how skilled this Gao Wu really is?" Wang Si'an shook his head. "I heard he used to be a professional gamer, and he's getting old..."

Liu Guanying nodded: "Professional gamers play on Battle.net every day, they're very experienced, maybe they'll surprise us..." (End of Chapter)
