Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 6 Life Source Crystal
The Life Source Crystal melts upon entering the mouth, transforming into a stream of fluid that flows into the stomach.

Soon, a powerful life force surged from his abdomen, guiding this force to flow throughout his entire body. Lu Jin felt that all the bones, muscles, and cells in his body were undergoing astonishing changes.

Life Source Crystal can be used to strengthen genetic energy and improve physical fitness, as well as to enhance mental power, making it a versatile product.

However, his mental power talent has not yet been fully realized. At most, his mental power strength can only be two levels higher than the martial artist realm. Therefore, there is no need to strengthen his mental power now. He should just focus on improving his martial artist realm.

Cells are dividing, genes are optimizing, and new, superior genes are replacing the less-than-perfect genes from the past, resulting in another perfect integration.

During this process, the discarded and useless cells turn into wispy gray-black substances that seep out through the skin's pores.

In the blink of an eye, a thin layer of gray-black stains appeared on Lu Jin's body.

Meanwhile, within the sea of ​​consciousness, a pool of water containing large and small azure fragments was rapidly rotating, its volume slowly shrinking as it transformed into energy and dissipated, joining this 'evolutionary frenzy'.

At this moment, Lu Jin's physical fitness was improving rapidly, far exceeding his previous daily arduous training.

Moreover, as his physical fitness improved, Lu Jin, a mentalist whose talent had not yet been fully realized, also saw his mental power rapidly increase according to the limits of his physical fitness.

Unfortunately, this life force was quickly exhausted; this 'evolutionary frenzy' came and went just as fast.

"Tsk~"

Smacking his lips, Lu Jin felt a little regretful; the quantity was too small, and he hadn't been able to fully enjoy himself.

He walked up to the punching power testing machine, clenched his right fist, and threw a powerful punch.

With a "thump," the punching bag shook, and a line of numbers appeared on the screen—'2986kg'.

"It increased punching power by nearly 500 kilograms?"

Lu Jin raised an eyebrow, feeling a surge of joy in his heart.

Although the monster meat he bought was all from F-rank monsters, which are high-level beast soldiers, there are plenty of monsters of this rank in the wilderness.

In addition, since he is a psychic, buying a few throwing knives of the fourth element or higher would make chopping up F-rank monsters as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.

Lu Jin could foresee that in his future apprentice-level cultivation, his concern would not be how to quickly improve his strength, but rather how to quickly adapt to his rapidly increasing power.

Suppressing her joy, Lu Jin washed up, took out her phone, typed a text message, sent it to her uncle, and then waited for him to call back.

As Lu Jin had expected, Li Yunqian initiated a video call within just half a minute.

Click "Accept," and Li Yunqian's image appears on the phone screen.

"Are you sure you're not bragging?"

As soon as the call connected, Li Yunqian asked with a suspicious look.

In Li Yunqian's memory, although his nephew Lu Jin's cultivation talent was not bad, it was definitely not a cultivation genius. At most, he could only be considered a hard-working little genius.

According to his estimate, Lu Jin would not be able to master the "Five Hearts Towards Heaven Cultivation Method" in less than a few days.

However, Lu Jin sent good news the day after he obtained the cultivation method, and what was even more unbelievable was that his eldest nephew had actually awakened mental power? Was this some kind of nonsense?
Upon hearing this, Lu Jin pursed his lips, offered no explanation, walked to the punching power testing machine, pointed his phone screen at the machine, and threw out a powerful right punch.

"Bam—"

The punching target shook, and a line of numbers appeared on the screen—'2984kg'. Immediately afterwards, the training sword placed on the weapon rack shot through the air with a roar, and the number displayed on the punching power testing machine screen soared, directly rising to '11938kg'.

"Hahaha~, as expected of my nephew Li Yunqian, his talent is amazing!"

Instantly, Li Yunqian, who had been looking suspicious, smoothly changed his expression, now looking as if it were his nephew's natural behavior.

"Good lad, from now on you are one of the people of the South Guard District of my Jiangnan Base City! Tomorrow morning I will send someone to bring you to the Guard District for a martial arts combat assessment."

While feeling gratified and proud of his nephew's outstanding talent, Li Yunqian did not forget his main task.

"Okay, Uncle, I'll hang up now. I haven't informed Grandpa yet!"

Lu Jin nodded.

Every aspiring martial artist who wants to shed the "aspiring" label and become a full-fledged martial artist needs to undergo a martial arts combat assessment.

However, for ordinary aspiring martial artists, practical combat assessments are not something they can simply attend whenever they want.

For example, prospective martial artists at the Extreme Martial Arts Academy only have two opportunities for practical combat assessment each year; if they miss them, they have to wait another six months.

However, for Lu Jin, who has a "some background," martial arts combat assessments can be conducted at any time.

Go to the South Guard District where your uncle works, and hunt down a few monsters on your own under the witness of a military officer. You will then pass the martial arts exam and become a formal martial artist.

"Don't!"

Upon hearing that Lu Jin was going to inform the old man, Li Yunqian immediately stopped him.

Just kidding, the old man is the head of the entire Southeast Guard District, his rank is two levels higher than his, the head of the base city's sub-guard district.

If the old man finds out that his eldest nephew is a psychic, then Lu Jin will have no place in the Nanwei District!

Even if the old man wants to transfer Lu Jin away later, he should at least let Lu Jin visit their Nanwei District, right?
It should be noted that the efficiency of a single mentalist in killing a monster is probably not even comparable to that of ten martial artists of the same level.

Moreover, when Lu Jin becomes a God of War one day, Li Yunqian will be able to proudly say, "My Nanwei District has also produced a God of War, and he is a God of War-level mentalist!"
"Huh? What's wrong?"

Lu Jin was stunned.

"Kid, I'm your uncle, would I ever harm you? Listen to me, he's very busy, don't tell the old man yet, I'll handle this!"

Li Yunqian spoke with righteous indignation.

Lu Jin rolled her eyes, guessing what her uncle was up to, and said, "If the old man asks, you'll take the blame."

"I will handle it!"

Li Yunqian immediately patted his chest and assured him.

Is he afraid of the old man?
joke!

Although the old man is a mid-level war god and he is only a high-level war general, he can't beat the old man, and he can't even beat the old man's grandson.
If the old man dares to beat him, he'll take it out on his own son!
After a pause, Li Yunqian continued, "You're a mentalist, and your martial arts talent isn't bad either. You have a bright future ahead of you, and becoming a councilor isn't out of the question. Remember to tell your parents."

Lu Jin: "Okay, I'm hanging up!"
