Two Realms High Martial Arts: Gathering the Heavens to Become a Great Luo Immortal

Chapter 346 Suffering for Nianyi, I'll Bear the Hardship

The news that Feng Sheng himself confirmed that Li Xijun had condensed a first-grade martial arts golden core and had one foot in the realm of martial saint spread like a storm across the starry sea to every corner of the Human Federation at an astonishing speed.

From our home planet Earth to the distant planets where the seven extraterrestrial bases are located, this name is being hotly discussed in all news media, online platforms, and on the streets.

The official federal news channel broadcast this "historic breakthrough" in a solemn and impassioned tone, calling it a milestone victory for the "ten-year training program," a solid step forward for federal martial arts civilization, and that Li Xijun is "the pride of all federal citizens."

The internet was in an uproar.

"My God! The legendary First-Grade Golden Elixir!"

"Li Xijun is awesome! (voice cracks)"

"Where are those extraterrestrial trolls who were previously criticizing our Earth's native geniuses? Come out and show yourselves! See clearly what it means to be the number one prodigy of humanity!"

"Half a foot in the Martial Saint realm... These are the words of Lord Feng Sheng himself. Doesn't this mean that, as long as he doesn't perish along the way, our Federation is destined to gain another Martial Saint!"

"Hiss... Such a young first-grade Golden Core cultivator, a future Martial Saint... I feel as if I'm witnessing a living legend rising!"

"I thought he was ridiculously strong during the National Championships, but I still underestimated him."

"Is it too late to transfer to Qingquan Chunhui Palace? Even just becoming a sweeping monk there, to absorb some of the academic genius's aura, would be great!"

Various expressions of praise, shock, and admiration filled every corner of the virtual network.

At this moment, Li Xijun's reputation reached an unprecedented peak, truly becoming a household name on Blue Star and the seven extraterrestrial planets, and a national hero regarded as the future hope of the Federation.

……

Just as the outside world was in an uproar over this news,

Li Xijun, however, had already quietly returned to Qingquan Chunhui Hall University.

Although with his current cultivation level of First-Grade Golden Core, he has already far exceeded the standard of ordinary graduates.

and,

Logically speaking, they could graduate and enter higher-level federal agencies or military forces.

But in Qingquan Chunhui Hall, from the dean to ordinary faculty and staff, not a single person who was "ignorant" brought up this matter.

On the contrary,

The school's academic affairs system quietly completed the operation, automatically updating the student records of Li Xijun, Su Nianying, and others to graduate students under the name of Vice Principal Lisa.

This kind of "guaranteed admission" to graduate school, directly under the tutelage of top professors, would have been the envy of countless hardworking college students in the study rooms in Li Xijun's previous life.

Of course, Li Xijun himself didn't care about this.

For him, Qingquan Chunhui Palace was more like a familiar and relatively free base, and because of Lisa, he had no intention of changing bases.

At this moment, he and Su Nianying were returning to the long-lost attic with Lisa.

As soon as I stepped into the living room, I sensed two familiar yet much stronger auras.

Su Nianyi and Jiang Qiyue were sitting cross-legged on a soft, wide sofa, their spiritual energy flowing around them, indicating that they had both entered the early stage of the Outer Realm.

On the screen opposite them, a classic martial arts commentary program was playing.

Two professors from the Vajra Realm were on top, engaged in a heated discussion about data and analysis reports displayed on a holographic projection screen.

Li Xijun and the other two looked at it and found that it contained news about Li Xijun's advancement to the first-grade Golden Core stage, as well as some publicly available physical data about him when he reached the Great Perfection of the Mortal Transformation stage.

"...Incredible! Based solely on these remaining basic data, the foundation of Li Xijun's 'Sacred Body' that enabled her to complete her mortal transformation far surpasses all current records of various spiritual bodies. No wonder the Martial Saint came to this conclusion!"

"Professor Wang is right. Look at these power and recovery speed parameters; they completely surpass theoretical levels. This is unheard of in the Transcendent Realm. Just from this perspective alone, if he comprehends the laws in the future and his physical body bears the imprint of those laws, his success rate will increase by at least 30%!"

The two professors argued heatedly, their faces flushed, their voices filled with amazement and excitement at academic inquiry.

"Sister, Xijun and Lisa!" Su Nianyi was the first to sense it and saw the three people coming in. Her expression, which had been calm, immediately broke into a smile.

Jiang Qiyue also quickly stood up, her spirited face beaming with joy: "You're finally back! It's been so noisy outside!"

Li Xijun looked at the two, whose breathing was steady and whose progress was obvious, smiled slightly, and nodded.

With a casual wave of his hand, several clusters of radiant natural treasures floated in front of Su Nianyi and Jiang Qiyue.

"We've gained some valuable information on this trip. Take these and refine them carefully. They should be enough to stabilize your cultivation level and allow you to make an attempt to advance to the middle stage."

Li Xijun spoke calmly, as if she were only offering ordinary candy.

"We can't let Yagami and Hiiro leave us too far behind."

The two women's eyes lit up when they saw the treasure before them, a treasure that could drive even the most powerful martial artists in the Outer Realm crazy. They quickly and happily accepted it.

Everyone's attention instantly focused on the high-grade spiritual items in their hands.

After distributing the benefits obtained from the Pantheon, Li Xijun simply took out the spiritual weapons he had obtained from Mo Yuan and others and handed them to Lisa: "Lisa, the origins of these spiritual weapons are somewhat sensitive. Now that we're back at the Qingquan Chunhui Palace, it's perfect for you to handle them."

Lisa took the spiritual weapon and scanned it with her mental energy. She knew it was priceless. She nodded slightly and accepted it. Given their relationship, there was no need to say anything more.

A moment later,

After Li Xijun gave Su Nianyi and Jiang Qiyue the spiritual items and disposed of the spiritual weapons,

With nothing else to do, the three of them sat down together and relaxed after their Pantheon adventure.

The program on the screen continued, and the group ate spirit fruits as usual, chatting and laughing, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere in the living room.

but,

No one expected that Su Nianyi, who had just been smiling sweetly in the atmosphere, would suddenly go limp without warning, close her eyes, and fall straight to the side!

"Nianyi!" Su Nianying's expression changed, and she quickly caught her younger sister.

Li Xijun and Lisa's eyes also turned to them instantly, their eyes showing a hint of surprise and astonishment.

Because Su Nianyi's change was so strange, neither of them noticed it.

Seeing this, Jiang Qiyue waved her hand and said in a tone that was both helpless and familiar, "Relax, relax, it's okay, Nianyi isn't sick."

She explained, "Nianyi said that since she advanced to the Outer Realm, most of the remaining dark golden lightning ball in her brain has started to melt away at an accelerated rate. Recently, she has been suddenly falling into a deep sleep every now and then, sleeping for about one night each time. When she wakes up, her spiritual strength has increased significantly."

Upon hearing this, the worry on Su Nianying and Lisa's faces faded, replaced by deep envy and admiration.

"So that's how it is... the soul is spontaneously strengthened..."

Lisa sighed softly, her tone carrying a hint of bitterness and感慨 that she herself was unaware of.

"After reaching the Outer Realm, Golden Core, and even Vajra Realm, it is extremely difficult to improve the strength of the soul. Even for us, we can only rely on the feedback brought by the improvement of the realm or seek extremely rare opportunities... Nianyi's talent is truly... uniquely gifted."

Su Nianying nodded silently, her eyes filled with complex emotions as she looked at her sleeping sister in her arms.

She condensed her golden core, and her soul received nourishment, resulting in a significant improvement. However, compared to her younger sister's seemingly limitless "talent-based" growth, it still appeared slow.

Li Xijun was also filled with emotion. If it weren't for his many fortuitous encounters such as dual-world travel, the ability to merge self and other, and the Divine Refinement System, he would probably be extremely envious of Su Nianyi's heaven-defying talent in terms of spiritual power.

"However, I am now a Yin Spirit at the first level of the Thunder Tribulation, and the achievement of the Golden Core has brought a trace of indestructible golden nature, making my spiritual foundation even more solid. It's time to prepare for the extremely perilous second level of the Thunder Tribulation, the 'Living Towards Death' realm."

He began to ponder and consider this in his heart.

While Li Xijun was contemplating his cultivation plan,

Jiang Qiyue, standing to the side, darted around, a sly smile spreading across her face. Her gaze swept over Li Xijun, Su Nianying, and Lisa, before she suddenly lowered her voice and made a bold suggestion:

"Ahem... Since Nianyi is sleeping so soundly, she definitely won't wake up anytime soon. In order to 'get revenge' on her enviable spiritual talent, how about... we 'celebrate' Xijun's breakthrough to the Golden Core stage right next to her tonight?"

This abrupt, somewhat ambiguous, and mischievous suggestion brought a brief silence to the living room.

Su Nianying's pretty face instantly flushed red. She glared at Jiang Qiyue reproachfully, but did not object. Instead, she secretly turned her gaze to Li Xijun.

Vice Principal Lisa was taken aback at first, then a faint blush appeared on her mature and elegant face. She coughed lightly, picked up the teacup next to her, took a sip, and looked out the window, as if she had tacitly agreed.

Looking at the stunning beauties in front of him, each with their own unique expression, and then at Su Nianyi, who was sleeping soundly on the sofa next to him, Li Xijun did not offer any objections.

In short, let Su Nianyi suffer and bear the burden.
