The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

Back at the base, after explaining everything to Xia Banzhu, I dumped all these things on him.

Lu Yuan believes that the best manager is one who shirks responsibility, and the best boss is one who never appears in the employees' sight.

Of course, the main reason is that he is allowed to slack off for now.

If you can be lazy and don't, wouldn't you be a fool?

After finding an empty warehouse and instructing people not to disturb him, Lu Yuan began his vacation.

"Phew!"

He swallowed a pill, took a deep breath, and began his cultivation.

Lu Yuan is now a five-star warrior, and with the help of a large amount of potions containing cosmic energy, his sixth star core is about to condense.

Might makes right.

Strength is the foundation of everything.

This strength includes both overall strength and his personal strength.

Taking advantage of this free time, he wanted to focus on his cultivation and strive to break through to the sixth star.

For the boss, this was already considered a vacation.

Next, Lu Yuan focused wholeheartedly on his cultivation.

Nearly a month has passed in the blink of an eye. The Four Death Warriors and Sui Ling have returned, and it is said that the people sent by the Guild Hall are already on their way.

Boom!

At noon that day, a thunderclap suddenly erupted from Lu Yuan's body.

The sixth star core is coalescing!

Lu Yuan opened his eyes, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

For others, advancing to the next level is like climbing mountains and crossing rivers, or even as difficult as ascending to heaven, but for him, with his tenth-grade aptitude, it is simply a matter of course.

"My strength has increased again."

With the condensation of the sixth star core and the sixth tempering of his body, Lu Yuan's physique became increasingly powerful.

Strength and other aspects have also been greatly improved.

Unfortunately, there was no qualitative leap.

Although six star cores are much stronger than five, they are still only mid-level warriors.

Lu Yuan got up and stretched his arms and legs, getting a general feel for his current body, and then stopped thinking about it.

"Seven stars?"

Lu Yuan sat cross-legged again, his expression turning serious.

The difference between a seven-star and a six-star general is only one star core, but it represents the gap between a high-level general and a mid-level general.

Once the seventh star core is condensed, one can accumulate Qi within the body and transform flesh and blood into a Gang body.

With just his physical body, he can withstand most of the Lord-level equipment.

In addition to a surge in defense, there will also be a significant improvement in attack and speed.

While it can't be described as a complete transformation, their strength has indeed reached a new level.

Lu Yuan's goal was also the Seven Star Warriors.

He even harbored a slight obsession with the Seven Star Warriors.

It's not just because the title of "Advanced Warrior" sounds better; once he's promoted to Seven-Star Warrior, he'll be on par with Liang Hongyun.

As a man, how can you let your woman ride on your head all the time except at night?

However, breaking through to the Seven Stars level is not so easy.

At least, potions containing cosmic energy alone won't suffice.

Imagine if one could continuously improve their cultivation level with potions, then there would be no shortage of high-level warriors in this world.

Each three levels represents a small stage, which is also a bottleneck.

The higher the level, the harder it is to break through the bottleneck.

After advanced warriors comes grandmasters, which can be considered the last bottleneck in the common understanding, and also the most difficult one!

How many people, no, how many former geniuses, arrogant prodigies, ended up being trapped as six-star generals for the rest of their lives.

This is why, at Shen Fuyue's birthday banquet, when Lu Yuan took out the potion formula that could help people advance to the seventh star, it caused such a big reaction, and Cai Yuanzhi even directly called it a divine formula.

"Pseudo-core..."

As long as he used the potion with that formula, Lu Yuan could immediately advance to the Seven-Star Warrior level. Thinking of this, Lu Yuan shook his head.

The formula was flawed; the seventh star core it produced was a false core. Once a false core was formed, it replaced the real one, like bad money driving out good, and the real star core would no longer be formed.

In other words, it stops at the Seven Stars.

While for most people, becoming a Seven-Star General is a height they wouldn't even dare to dream of, it's certainly not enough for Lu Yuan.

His goal is at least to become a grandmaster!

After all, he possesses an unparalleled tenth-grade aptitude.

Therefore, even if he waits longer, he cannot condense a pseudo-core using the potion and do something that would destroy his own Great Wall.

Since that's the case, I can only cultivate myself step by step.

But Lu Yuan had no idea when he would be able to break through this bottleneck.

After all, the so-called bottleneck itself represents uncertainty.

"My eyes are working much better now."

Whether it's the Opening Meridian Realm or the Star Core Realm, there's a minor realm every three levels. Besides the bottleneck limitations, there are also different abilities at each of the three levels.

Intermediate-level warriors are those with a special form of physical mutation.

Lu Yuan's altered part is his eyes, which have given him the ability to see far, see at night, and even see through objects.

However, for someone with space exploration capabilities, it's at most an added bonus.

With the condensation of the sixth star core, this ability also increases.

Not only can it see further, but its X-ray vision is also stronger, allowing it to easily penetrate walls and look at Xia Banzhu, who is reading documents in the office.

Of course, with this ability, seeing through clothes would be a piece of cake, but Lu Yuan still has basic moral principles and would not do such a thing unless absolutely necessary.

"It should be close to its limit."

In addition to leveling up, the existence of the Golden Bridge of Heaven and Earth constantly draws spiritual energy into the body, also focusing on nourishing the eyes.

Lu Yuan vaguely sensed that his eyesight had reached a limit, and once he broke through that limit, it would be a qualitative leap!

At that time, this ability might not be as simple as 'peeping', although Lu Yuan has never done so.

Lu Yuan wasn't sure what level it would reach, but he wasn't in a hurry.

"Two thousand."

At the same time, Lu Yuan's mental strength has been continuously improving and has now exceeded two thousand points!

As if breaking through a threshold, when mental strength reaches two thousand points, both perception and mental power suddenly and greatly improve.

Take the most direct space exploration as an example, the original range of ten kilometers has suddenly increased to one hundred kilometers!

In addition, the power of telekinesis has become increasingly strong, to the point that it can easily lift several tons of weight.

If one condenses their mental energy into a spike and directly attacks another's spirit, the damage will inevitably be greater.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile. Besides his abnormal self-healing ability, his mental power was his hidden trump card.

"Let's continue."

After taking a short rest and checking his current strength, Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and continued cultivating.

Although the bottleneck may be stubborn, it can be overcome with persistent effort. As long as you keep practicing and keep pushing forward, you will eventually break through it.

Lu Yuan decided to stop thinking about it and focus on the present.

Several more days passed in the blink of an eye.

"They're here."

That afternoon, Xia Banzhu suddenly came looking for him.

"Who's here?"

Lu Yuan didn't even open his eyes, just asked a casual question.

"People from the Starry Sky Club have arrived at the base."

Xia Banzhu spoke again, his voice low and deep.

Lu Yuan paused, then opened his eyes, his face instantly turning icy cold.
