Chapter 38 – Incomplete Grandmaster-Level Star Power Art!

On the academy’s main path, birch trees on both sides stood lush and verdant.

Lin Mofeng and Elder Li strolled along the road, followed by watching teachers and students, under the gaze of thousands.

“Everything in the school remains just as it was, completely unchanged…”

Lin Mofeng looked at the birch trees, a trace of nostalgia appearing on his face as he said to Elder Li beside him, “I was too stubborn back then, always making you angry, Teacher.”

“Mo Feng… what are you saying? Young people should be spirited and bold.”

Elder Li chuckled, clapping his hands together, “Jianghai Martial Arts Academy was ultimately a shallow pond, but with your exceptional talent, you still became a true dragon.”

“You flatter me, Teacher.”

Lin Mofeng lowered his gaze and cupped his hands respectfully, “If not for your guidance, Teacher, I would never have gained my family’s recognition, let alone achieved what I have today…”

“No need to say more, Mo Feng. Over these years, if not for the martial arts techniques and skills you gifted us, Jianghai Martial Arts Academy wouldn’t be in its current state.”

Elder Li expressed his gratitude to Lin Mofeng.

Those around them, hearing this, turned their gazes to Lin Mofeng with various expressions of envy.

It was important to know that Jianghai Martial Arts Academy’s status used to be quite ordinary.

Far from today’s prominence, it ranked only in the middle nationally, at best reaching the level of an average institution.

But later,

after Lin Mofeng advanced to Grandmaster-level,

his success lifted everyone associated with him.

Relying on the Star Power Art he contributed in return, Jianghai Martial Arts Academy’s foundation greatly strengthened, allowing it to build a robust faculty and become a top-ranked presence nationwide.

Therefore,

Lin Mofeng’s return to the academy now could truly be described as returning home in glory, with boundless splendor.

“Teacher, actually, I came back this time partly out of curiosity.”

Lin Mofeng looked at Elder Li beside him and asked softly, “I heard that in recent days, a Jianghai Sword God has emerged in our city… I wonder if you have any connections to introduce him to me, your student?”

“Mo Feng, you wish to meet Sword God Senior?”

Hearing this, Elder Li was taken aback, then sighed with melancholy, “I understand your intention, but there’s no way. I have no connections either.”

“Could it be that you don’t know Sword God Senior either, Teacher?”

Lin Mofeng asked in surprise.

“I don’t. To be honest, I haven’t even met him once.”

Elder Li let out a long, regretful sigh.

“This… Sword God Senior’s temperament is truly…”

Not expecting this response from Elder Li, a flicker of surprise passed through Lin Mofeng’s eyes. After pondering for a moment, he slowly said, “…truly peculiar.”

As he spoke,

he halted his steps and looked toward the academy plaza ahead.

On the vast, spacious plaza, a few students hurried to class sporadically, while white pigeons soared and landed on a Black Uncut Stone in the center.

“This stone was moved here just a few days ago.”

Seeing Lin Mofeng looking at the stone, Elder Li explained, “It hasn’t been artificially carved yet; we’re still waiting for a suitable design.”

“Hmm.”

Hearing this, Lin Mofeng thought for a few seconds, nodded, and suddenly decided, “How about here, then, Teacher? Let’s not go to the auditorium. I’ll give the lecture to everyone right here.”

“Give the lecture here?”

Elder Li was stunned by this response, finding it utterly unexpected.Seeing this, Lin Mofeng explained, “The auditorium is too small to accommodate many people. It would be better to hold the lecture here in the plaza so all teachers and students can hear.”

“Excellent, excellent! Mo Feng, you’ve been very thoughtful!”

Upon hearing this, Elder Li immediately narrowed his eyes into a smile and nodded with satisfaction.

Other school leaders, seeing this, acted even faster. They immediately sent the news to various class groups and arranged a unified day off for the entire school.

Soon.

On the empty academy plaza, other students came one after another upon hearing the news, filling the entire space within ten minutes.

After all, this was a lecture by a Grandmaster Realm expert.

Just hearing it was a gain!

Thus, Lin Mofeng stood lecturing in front of the uncut stone, quickly surrounded by dense crowds of students, with noisy voices mingling across the plaza.

“Thank you all, juniors, for taking the time to come. Please quiet down a bit.”

Lin Mofeng cleared his throat.

Using the Innate Realm’s sound transmission technique, he clearly delivered his voice to everyone’s ears.

Instantly, the plaza fell completely silent.

Countless eyes blinked, fixed intently on Lin Mofeng, awaiting the lecture.

“First, let me clarify – as your senior, my return to the academy today won’t cover topics about the Innate Realm or Grandmaster Realm… After all, these are too distant for you, empty and grandiose, and would only disrupt your cultivation focus.”

Lin Mofeng pointed to the sky as he spoke slowly:

“What I’ll discuss this time is the fundamental secret of us Star Warriors. Whether at Grandmaster Realm or Acquired Realm, everyone follows this ultimate principle.”

“As we all know, the fundamental power of us Star Warriors comes from condensing True Essence through the power of celestial stars.”

“Ancient texts say: Master the celestial stars, observe the movements of stars, sun and moon, watch the changes under heaven, and discern their auspicious or ominous signs. Use star territories to distinguish the nine regions, where all domains have their designated stars for observing blessings and calamities…”

“As early as the previous dynasty, star observers had already begun watching celestial phenomena, using the principles of heaven-earth interaction to deduce the patterns of all things on earth.”

“And now we Star Warriors further harness the power of celestial stars to temper our physical bodies, achieving harmony between heaven and human…”

“…”

As Lin Mofeng continued with his detailed explanation.

The crowd in the plaza gradually gained understanding, one after another showing expressions of sudden realization.

When they looked at Lin Mofeng again, their eyes were filled with admiration.

A Grandmaster Realm expert’s lecture was truly different!

The textbooks distributed by the academy mostly taught promotion techniques and skills, rarely explaining the origins of Star Power.

Now Lin Mofeng was revealing the essence through the phenomena.

Many students and teachers felt sudden enlightenment, gaining new insights about themselves.

“Good, very good. This trip was definitely worthwhile.”

Even Qin Yang in the crowd couldn’t help but nod.

Although he usually read extensively in the Library, most materials were quite basic and common.

This Grandmaster’s lecture, however, directly resolved doubts from their very roots.

He even shared some interesting anecdotes about the Imperial Capital.

His visit to the academy had yielded substantial gains.

…………

“Alright everyone, these are some of my cultivation insights.”

On the plaza, as Lin Mofeng concluded his lecture.

The surrounding teachers and students all looked at him with reluctance, still wanting to hear more.”Everyone rest assured, although this lecture has concluded, to repay the academy for its cultivation over the years, I’ve decided…”

As he spoke, Lin Mofeng’s gaze swept across the crowd as he slowly declared:

“I shall leave an incomplete Grandmaster-level Star Power Art here at the Plaza for our junior students to study.”

As his words faded, the entire venue first fell into complete silence, so quiet one could hear a pin drop.

Then.

The entire place erupted into a boiling uproar!

“Holy shit! Did I hear that right? Has Senior Lin gone mad?”

“No matter how incomplete it is, this is still a Grandmaster-level Star Power Art! If this were out in the world, it would instantly spark a frenzy of snatching!”

“So damn impressive! Senior Brother Lin’s generosity is truly staggering!”

Everyone was utterly astonished.

The next moment.

They saw Lin Mofeng approach the uncut stone at the Plaza, press his palm against it, and state: “This art was obtained by chance, unrelated to my family or Divine Martial University. Feel free to study it without concerns.”

No sooner had he finished speaking.

BOOM!

Terrifying Star Power erupted from the uncut stone, sending stone fragments flying as dragon-and-phoenix-style calligraphy carved neat lines of text upon its surface.

Meanwhile.

Qin Yang, watching from a distance, immediately brightened up.

Excellent, excellent, so you’re just giving it away like this?

Thank you for nature’s bounty!

Straight to memorizing!
