The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

Using the starry sky as a metaphor for the cultivation of the Star Core Realm in the depths of the universe, sensing energy from the depths of the universe is also elegantly referred to as "gazing at the starry sky".

But in reality, just as stars exist regardless of day or night, the cultivation of the Star Core Realm is the same regardless of day or night.

However, just now, at the instant the sun appeared, Lu Yuan's perception of cosmic energy was significantly enhanced, to the point that he could now faintly sense it.

This is not an illusion.

"Physical constitution, or cultivation technique...?"

There's always a reason for everything. After thinking about it, Lu Yuan figured there were probably two possibilities.

Firstly, his Fiery Sun Battle Body possesses an extremely strong and yang constitution, which aligns well with daytime. Martial meridians are organs that sense cosmic energy, becoming more active during the day, naturally making their perception clearer.

Secondly, the cultivation method he is currently practicing is similar to the Star Core Qi Guiding Method. This Star Core cultivation method, after being repaired and improved by the mysterious tattoo, has become a method that is completely suitable for him.

Since it is based on his own constitution, it naturally leans towards the yang element, so it is more effective during the day.

"Oh."

Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile, not expecting such an unexpected gain.

He then took a deep breath and decided to continue his cultivation.

Whatever the reason, now that the sensation is clearer, we should seize the time!

Lu Yuan spent almost the entire day cultivating.

He didn't stop until sunset and nightfall. As expected, the cultivation effect had indeed worsened. He figured he had cultivated long enough since last night, so he decided to rest.

"It's not that easy after all."

After eating something, Lu Yuan reviewed what he had learned during the day's cultivation.

Although he can sense cosmic energy, it is still relatively vague, let alone extract it for his own use.

In reality, even if energy could be extracted from the depths of the universe, condensing a star core would require an extremely complicated and massive project.

In other words, although he has successfully taken the first step, he is still extremely far from the Star Core Realm.

"Never mind."

Lu Yuan was actually mentally prepared for this, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

After sorting out my thoughts, I went straight to bed.

The next morning, I got out of bed as the sun rose and continued my practice.

With only a little over half a month left until the end of the month and the end of the quarter, Lu Yuan changed his plans. He decided not to take on any more missions and instead devoted all his time to cultivation.

Before competing with the Beidou team, although it was impossible to break through to the Star Core Realm, every little bit helps. Only by accumulating knowledge bit by bit can one break through as quickly as possible.

In addition, Lu Yuan occasionally practiced combat skills during his cultivation, as a way to relax.

As a Earth-rank combat skill, even though Lu Yuan has fully comprehended this sword technique, he still needs a lot of time to practice it extensively in order to master its profound meaning and reach the level of splitting the sky and earth with a single strike.

In comparison, the 'Bloodlust' skill he had just exchanged for was only a Yellow-rank combat skill, which was much easier to use. After just a few tries, he was already able to use it proficiently.

Time flies, and it's almost the end of the month.

The second competition between the Nandou and Beidou teams after their formation is about to begin.

At 10 a.m., on the football field in the middle of the base, the two teams appeared on time.

Just like last time, Wu Jianming didn't show up; he was still hiding in that corner, peeking around.

"This time! We'll utterly defeat you!"

Looking this way, the seven members of the Big Dipper all had deep expressions, with flames burning faintly in their eyes.

They had been holding their breath for three months!

Now, the time for revenge has finally come.

"Do you want to avenge this humiliation?"

Tang Guangming gave a light snort, his expression remaining largely unchanged.

The other five members of the Nandou team also remained calm, and Jin Xinxin didn't even say a word.

And so, the two sides remained in a silent standoff.

Two minutes later, Wu Jianming walked out with a regretful expression.

I thought it would be another exciting show, but the Nandou team was surprisingly restrained this time, and didn't ignite any of the tension before the competition.

Is NanDou changing its tactics?

Wu Jianming frowned, too lazy to think further, and directly faced the two teams.

"As is customary, we place a bet before the competition."

"No points required! Not a single point! But!"

The Beidou team spoke first, their faces already extremely gloomy.

"After we win, Nandou will bow to us and shout 'We are trash' three times!"

"Ha, this is an eye for an eye."

Wu Jianming smiled; these were the young men he liked. He then turned to the Nandou team.

"you……"

"We disagree."

"What?"

Not only the Beidou team, but Wu Jianming was also stunned upon hearing this, before he came to his senses.

"What do you mean?"

"Didn't I say I didn't agree to this bet?"

Tang Guangming shrugged and said directly.

"This bet is meaningless and would damage the relationship between the two teams. It's really unnecessary, so we disagree."

Depend on!

The Beidou team instantly flew into a rage and almost rushed up to beat up the shameless Nandou team.

You've already gotten a good deal, and now you're saying you don't want to play anymore?

You can't take a joke, huh?

However, according to the rules of the contest, the bet must be agreed upon by both parties for it to be valid.

Therefore, although Nan Dou's actions were tasteless, they were indeed in accordance with the rules.

For a moment, the Beidou team was furious, but there was nothing they could do.

Well...

Wu Jianming scratched his head, looking somewhat troubled.

Although the Southern Dipper team could refuse, it still felt somewhat unfair to the Northern Dipper team.

"Five minutes!"

At this moment, Liu Wuji suddenly spoke, saying in a deep voice.

"This time it won't take ten minutes! If you agree to this bet, we'll only need five minutes!"

"this……"

The six people from Nan Dou exchanged a glance and nodded helplessly.

The Beidou team was holding their breath; if they didn't agree to the bet, they feared the conflict would continue indefinitely.

"All right."

It was Tang Guangming who spoke first.

"We agree to your bet, but we also have requirements for the bet."

"explain!"

"If you lose, we don't need you to call anyone trash. We only ask one thing: never again use this kind of behavior as a wager! Like I said before, let's avoid hurting each other's feelings."

"We agree!"

Without even thinking, the Beidou team immediately agreed.

The Nandou team's intention was simple: they could have a chance to regain face and vent their anger, but this was their only chance!

This was indeed a bit excessive for the Beidou team.

However, even after the previous setback, BeiDou remains the proud BeiDou.

One chance is enough!

"Okay, it's settled then."

The two teams finally settled on a fair bet, and Wu Jianming nodded and continued.

"This quarter, the Beidou team is in the lead in points. According to the rules, you can decide on the competition method."

"Same as last time!"

Liu Wuji spoke directly, and all seven members of the Big Dipper group looked serious.

Only by defeating the Nandou team in the same way can we truly avenge our previous defeat!
