CHAPTER 48: CHAPTER 48: GALAXY MARTIAL COMPETITION (SEEKING MONTHLY TICKETS)

The figure quickly disappeared from the White Moon, as if it had never appeared.

But Su Tu clearly felt that the White Moon had changed; the originally bright moonlight now contained an indescribable spirituality. Just its light shining on him brought an inexplicable feeling of cool comfort.

It was like a traveler in a desert finally finding a clear spring after a long journey.

This sense of comfort continued to extend. At the same time, Su Tu looked at the surroundings of his inner world, feeling an inexplicable trembling in his heart, White Tiger lair on the side, Cyan Snake circling his hand.

Something seemed to dawn on him, and he sat down cross-legged, comprehending his true self.

On Heishan, clusters of black flowers formed from peculiar stones blossomed around him, while the bizarre and enchanting red moon stood in the sky, its center featuring a black crack appearing to deepen over time... truly like a crimson eye...

...

[You performed a Dream Path Exploration, Skill Level +30, Spiritual Wisdom +20!]

[Path Exploration (Initial Tier): 110/300]

[Spiritual Wisdom (Middle Tier): 303/1000]

As soon as Su Tu opened his eyes, the system’s settlement prompt appeared before him.

His guess was indeed correct; the bug in the Dream Path Exploration was effective. That feeling was magical, perhaps due to the influence of that White Moon.

This time during the Dream Path Exploration, he was conscious, able to explore the path within his inner world, and after waking up, he felt even more refreshed and comfortable than just waking up naturally.

Most importantly, this exploration also improved his Spiritual Wisdom proficiency.

"Finally, there’s more than just grinding problems to increase the Spiritual Wisdom proficiency!"

Su Tu was in a great mood.

When Zhou Wuliang passed on the Taiyin Falling Heaven, he had mentioned that Taiyin could nourish the Heart and Spirit. Back then, Su Tu wondered whether the Taiyin Divine Wonders could enhance the Spiritual Wisdom proficiency.

After all, according to Su Tu’s previous deductions, the Heart and Spirit and Spiritual Wisdom were closely related.

Everything that happened within the inner world confirmed Su Tu’s hypothesis. When the moonlight shone down, his Heart and Spirit were calm, internally and externally transparent, and his thought speed also increased, which was the manifestation of enhanced Spiritual Wisdom.

With this Taiyin Divine Wonders, he could simultaneously improve both the Spiritual Wisdom and Path Exploration skills’ proficiency.

This also resolved the plight of difficulty in increasing the Spiritual Wisdom proficiency.

"I just don’t know how the first time I did the Path Exploration managed to simultaneously enhance both Strengthen Body and Spiritual Wisdom."

Su Tu remembered that during the first Path Exploration, both his Strengthen Body and Spiritual Wisdom proficiencies improved. Afterward, they only increased the proficiency of Path Exploration, now with the support of Taiyin Divine Wonders, he could once again enhance Spiritual Wisdom.

The cultivation of Heart and Spirit is too mysterious, there are still too many unknowns, and he plans to ask the teacher when the opportunity arises.

A very cheerful Su Tu flipped over and jumped up from the bed.

He picked up his phone to check the time, only to find that the group of the martial arts gym squad had unusually over 99+ messages, and they were frantically tagging him.

Usually, the group only had Fat Zhuge and the chuuni Baru speaking.

Most of the others, like Su Tu, were lurking, so today’s lively atmosphere surely meant there’s fun to be had!

Upon opening the group chat,

he only saw Baru frantically tagging Su Tu.

Ultimate Tyrannosaurus Warrior (Baru): Go rank up!! Quickly rank up!!

Ultimate Tyrannosaurus Warrior (Baru): How can you sleep soundly with such martial commerce? Quickly enter the Galaxy Martial Competition and rank up, then carry me to victory!!

Ultimate Tyrannosaurus Warrior (Baru): I beg you, bro, from now on you’re my real brother!!! @You just woke up (Su Tu)

Feather Fan and Silk Crown (Zhuge): I guess Su Tu is still sleeping, besides, how can a Black Iron player keep up with my brother’s ranking speed, bro carry me, I’m the strategist!!

Veteran BBQ (Luo Fan): Even if you rank up, you should consider teaming up with me, I’m Gold... pay attention, Gold!

Seeing the messages in the group, Su Tu was a bit confused.

What’s this about ranking, what’s Black Iron, are you guys playing League of Legends here?

He quickly scrolled up through the chat messages and finally understood what it was about.

Luo Fan’s defeat to Su Tu in a duel was known by Baru and others who later went for cultivation.

So Baru started freaking out, frantically tagging Su Tu, hoping he would carry him in a game called Galaxy Martial Competition.

"Being good at dueling, what does that have to do with the game?" Su Tu wondered in his heart but didn’t ask directly in the group, instead, he opened the Martial Artist Forum to look it up.

He found that there were indeed quite a few posts about Galaxy Martial Competition, with roughly one in ten posts related to it. Previously, Su Tu, being new to Martial Arts Dao, had only focused on some basic entry-level posts, hence he paid no attention to these posts.

He opened a promotional post about Galaxy Martial Competition and did a bit of reading on this game.

He couldn’t help but smack his lips afterward.

"Is the technology gap between Blue Star and New Star a bit too big?"

"It’s simply not on the same level of civilization; we still play games with a mouse and keyboard, while you’re directly into the virtual world."

"Why does Ancestor Star seem protected like primitive people?"

In fact, Su Tu had suspected the technology level of Ancestor Star long ago, after all, it had reached the level of interstellar colonization, yet the technology on Ancestor Star was largely similar to that of his previous life.

This was quite unreasonable.

But at the time, Su Tu didn’t think much about it, as he was just an ordinary student back then, but after engaging in Martial Arts Dao, he discovered the technology gap between Ancestor Star and New Star was too vast.

Not to mention all sorts of incredible cultivation devices; let’s talk about this Galaxy Martial Competition game.

It uses a neurological conduit system, allowing players to enter a virtual game world which can simulate player body data with 100% accuracy, matching combat in game, honing techniques.

This is a popular game among martial artists, allowing warriors from different stars to spar, battle, and improve combat awareness and refine techniques.

This virtual world technology, Su Tu had only seen in anime so far, yet the technology was already commonplace in the Star River.

"This isn’t protection of Ancestor Star; this is full-scale technology blockade of Ancestor Star."

An astonishing thought arose in Su Tu’s mind.

He shook his head to dispel that thought, aware of potential distortions in understanding due to monetary influence, the thorough technical blockade on Ancestor Star—all these seemed like an invisible net enveloping Ancestor Star.

But, these were not his concerns; these things were too far removed from him, what mattered most was to tread his path well right now.

He then sent a message in the group, saying: "Baru brother, stop tagging, I’m scared; I don’t even have the equipment to log into the game, how can I carry you."

Honestly, Su Tu hadn’t even searched the price of this login device, but items related to Martial Arts Dao were surely not cheap.

Seeing Su Tu’s message in the group, Tang Yangwu, who had been quietly waiting to jump in, had his eyes light up.

He was just about to say he would buy the equipment.

But a message was faster than his impulse.

Thank the Princess (Mo Ya): "I knew you hadn’t played Galaxy Martial Competition yet, this game is pretty good and can enhance your techniques, improve your combat experience, I’ve already ordered one yesterday, thank the princess!"

Seeing Mo Ya’s message, Su Tu instinctively wanted to refuse; surely the price of this thing wasn’t low, accepting such a gift out of the blue felt impolite.

But before Su Tu could send a refusal, another message popped up.

Veteran BBQ (Luo Fan): Don’t be polite with her, her family owns shares in the game!!

Thank the Princess (Mo Ya): "Yes, besides, you’re considered a junior brother, the latest entrant, just think of it as a gift from your senior sister [Proud Emoticon]"

Reading this, Su Tu promptly sent out a message.

I just woke up: "Thank you, Princess!"

Yes, a junior brother should have the awareness of one, and Su Tu was clearly a person with awareness.

Seeing their discussion, Tang Yangwu clenched his fists tightly: "I was too slow!"
