With regards to Li Qingniu, who had extraordinary potential and had helped the merchant guild out of trouble many times, after being in the business for many years, Gu Chuan, who was incomparably tactful, had naturally thought of all sorts of ways to rope his in, especially when the gold had yet to completely shine. Yes, night, he invited Li Qingniu to stay at his house, wanting to build a good relationship with him.

And Li Qingniu, who had just entered this world for the first time, happened to have nowhere to go. At the same time, he carefully asked Gu Chuan about everything related to this continent at night.

Although Gu Chuan who had been out doing business for many years was not strong, he still had a thorough understanding of the continent. He was very willing to answer all of Li Qingniu's questions one by one.

It turned out that this continent was called Star Continent, because no matter when and where, at night, one would always see a sky full of stars, specks of stars, like a huge net enveloping this continent, beautiful and mysterious.

The Star Continent were separated into two parts, one of them being the Wildland located in the northern part of the continent. This was the place where Li Qingniu grew up at, where there were very few traces of humans. It was like a burning domain of fire, a land of ice with snow drifting through the four seasons, etc. In between, there were many savage Strange Beast, ferocious beyond compare. Of course, there are humans that survive in Wildland. Most of these people are powerful, whether it is for training, or to avoid enemies, fish and dragons are mixed, without restriction by law, everything is based on strength. Therefore, the Wildland was also known as the Bedlam Lands.

And to the south of the Star Continent, was the place where the human warriors mainly lived. It was called the human martial ground. The human martial grounds were divided up by many forces, and two of them were empires that took up most of the land, namely Mystic Moon Empire in the west and the Sky Sun Empire in the east. The Qingyang City belonged to the border region of the Sky Sun Empire.

The human martial grounds were not completely safe because, for some unknown reason, there would be beast tides every so often, and thousands upon thousands of savage Strange Beast would attack the human martial grounds. According to the strength of the beast tide, they were divided into five levels of Fighter, Stars, Star-moon, Starry Sky and apocalyptic destructive ranks. Every time a beast tide appeared, it would bring a huge disaster to the human martial ground.

In order to resist the beast tide, there were a large number of cultivation experts on this continent, known as the experts under the starry sky. According to the level of cultivation, they were separated into star Fighter s, Stellar Level s, and Star-moon Level s. Each stage was further divided into ten stages, such as one star Fighter s, two star Fighter s, and so on. And on the continent, there were a few extremely talented people who could break through their Star-moon and step into the starry sky, becoming their Starry Sky Level Expert. These people were also known as the The Most Powerful s under the stars, and each one of them had the ability to destroy the heavens and the earth. For example, the Guardian God of the Mystic Moon Kingdom, Mo Nichang, the number one female emperor under the starry sky. The last time the Starry Sky Level beast tide appeared, ten Starry Sky Level Expert, including the female emperor's, appeared. They were called the ten strongest experts under the stars! It was because of these experts that humanity was able to continue to survive.

After understanding the background of this continent, Li Qingniu was moved. The Most Powerful under the starry sky! Then what was the realm of the person who attacked the village and defeated the Grandma Long? When can I become a strong practitioner in the Starry Sky Level? There wasn't much to think about, he decided to awaken his martial spirit through the Martial Soul Institute first.

At this moment, within the Martial Soul Institute, a man was lying on the roof of the academy drinking. His clothes were casual, his hair was messy, and the beard on his face was a mess. However, a pair of eyes deep and powerful was currently staring at the vast starry sky, emitting a terrifying light! He murmured to himself.

Nichang! Where the hell are you? What happened in that battle? Why have you all disappeared!

The next day, Li Qingniu, who had followed Gu Chuan to Martial Soul Institute, was completely shocked by the bustling scene in front of him. They saw a resplendent golden building, in front of which there were ten giant humanoid sculptures that were extremely powerful and domineering! At this moment, a large number of youths, accompanied by their parents and servants, were gathered within the academy.

This is Martial Soul Institute? It's really big! Li Qingniu sighed.

That was because the academy delivered a large number of experts to the empire every year. That was the foundation of the empire! So every single academy has an incomparable position, so this is our Qingyang City, Qingyang Academy! Gu Chuan said.

The ten statues in front of the building?

That's right, it was a sculpture of the ten great The Omnipotent Expert Of The Starry Sky s! Gu Chuan patiently explained as he looked at the ten statues with a face full of worship.

He walked forward and looked at the statues of the ten great The Most Powerful s. For some reason, the more he looked at them, the more he felt that the female statue that looked like a fairy looked like Grandma Long. However, the difference in age between the two was too great. Approaching closer, he saw that underneath the sculpture, it was carved with the number one female emperor under the stars, Mo Nichang. So she was the only female out of the ten great The Omnipotent Expert Of The Starry Sky, the female emperor Mo Nichang!

Gu Chuan brought Li Qingniu and passed the crowd and came to the front of a slender old man with white beard who was dressed in a light blue robe.

Brother Li, this is the Principal of Qingyang Academy, Master Yue Chen.

Hello, Master Yue Chen. Junior is Li Qingniu. Li Qingniu immediately said.

Brother Gu, is this the disciple you promised this year? Yue Chen couldn't help but ask this sixteen or seventeen year old youngster in front of him.

That's right, Brother Li is this year's student that we have guaranteed to send to your school. However, our clan is not capable of nurturing such an outstanding disciple like the Brother Li. After Gu Chuan heard this, he immediately denied it.

Hm? Seeing that Gu Chuan, a Seven Star Fighter, praised him so highly, Yue Chen couldn't help but use his Stellar Force to scout Li Qingniu out, but after he finished investigating, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Li Qingniu, who had been scouted by Yue Chen, had his eyebrows twitch. He could clearly see that within Yue Chen's body, a blue Stellar Force was flowing like a sharp ice wheel with sawteeth on the sides. Its size was actually even larger than that of Yang Lie's. Needless to say, Yue Chen's martial spirit was Ice Wheel, and his Fighter's rank was only higher than Yang Lie's!

Alright, after you have passed the test with the other students, you will be like a student studying in the inner courtyard. Looking at Li Qingniu's young and tender face, Yue Chen couldn't find anything special about him. He gave a few instructions, then left.

The Qingyang Academy entrance examination was divided into two tests, the Star Margin test and the awakening of the martial spirit! The level of Star Margin determined the cultivator's cohesion towards the Stellar Force, and was directly related to how fast or slow they would cultivate in the future. The student only needed to place his hand on the Inductive Stone, and the Inductive Stone would emit light that was the same color as him, and then, depending on the strength of the light, he would determine the level. If it wasn't an elemental type, it was a white light.

And the existence of martial spirits depended on whether or not one could become a powerful Star martial artist. Of course, there were different types of martial spirits. If one had a good martial spirit, then their explosive combat power would be stronger! Similarly, the moment the student placed his hand on the Inductive Stone, the Inductive Stone would also channel its energy into the student's body, triggering the martial spirit in the student's body and exposing the martial spirit.

Mo Wuxin, Star Margin Rank, Low Rank; Martial Spirit, Earth Escape. Unqualified!

Shui Yue'er, Star Margin Rank, Medial Grade; Martial Spirit, Ice Sword. Qualified!

As the academy completed one test after another, some of them passed, some failed, and all kinds of martial spirits dazzled the eyes of the crowd. The current Li Qingniu was a little nervous in his heart, what level was he at? And what was a martial soul?

Suddenly, the Inductive Stone on the platform emitted a dense green light. The light was so bright that it surpassed any previous student's light. Everyone could clearly see a huge Lingzhi appearing from the green light.

Gu Yanran, Star Margin Rank, High Rank; Martial Spirit, Wood Lingzhi!

The entire audience was in an uproar! It was actually High Rank, High Rank Star Margin! The crowd all looked at Gu Yanran with envious eyes.

Good, good, good! Gu Chuan was so excited that he kept on cheering.

En, this time I have finally produced a pretty good student. Although it is not an offensive martial spirit, but as a support element in battle it is still incomparably useful.

I can also become a Star Fighter now! What kind of martial spirit was the Brother Li? Gu Yanran was ecstatic in her heart, at the same time she looked at Li Qingniu with anticipation.

Seeing how high the rank of Gu Yanran's Star Margin was, Li Qingniu was also very happy for her, and at the same time, looked forward to it himself.

Next, Li Qingniu!

Finally it was Li Qingniu's turn, he quickly walked to the stage and placed his hand on the Inductive Stone. Everyone's eyes were focused on the Inductive Stone, awaiting the results of this simple youth's test, especially the Gu's Father And Daughter and Principal Yue Chen.

In that instant, the Inductive Stone released a dazzling, multicolored light. The multicolored light seemed to pierce into people's eyes, but in the center of the light, there was no Martial Spirit.

This … Looking at this scene, the teacher was shocked. He had been a student taking the test for so many years, but he had never seen a Inductive Stone emit such a bright light like this. The five colored light showed that there was more than one type of Martial Spirit Attribute, but why did it not have any martial spirit?

Li Qingniu, Star Margin, top quality; martial spirit, none! After recovering from his shock, the exam teacher regretfully announced.

He didn't have a Martial Spirit? What a pity …

Humph! No matter how high the rank of a Star Margin was, it was useless without a Martial Spirit.

At that moment, the place was filled with discussions, some people were regretting Li Qingniu's decision, and others were adding insult to injury. The Gu's Father And Daughter and Lord Yue Chen all shook their heads in regret from their incomparable initial shock. Sigh! Such an astonishing Star Margin is simply the darling of the starry sky, why does it not have a Martial Spirit?

However, just as everyone's eyes were filled with disappointment and regret, on the roof of the academy, a pair of deep eyes glinted with a strange light. From the very beginning, he had been observing the situation, but he didn't even lift his eyelids, only focused on drinking, even if it was Gu Yanran's [High Rank Star Margin s]. At this moment, he was staring intently at Li Qingniu, who was present, and didn't drink at all, as though he was thinking about something.
