At White Dragon University, the days passed quickly.
The seven-day training program soon concluded.
Jiang Ye's life returned to its quiet rhythm. He remained confined to his quarters at Star Garden No. 10, dedicating every moment to cultivating his spearmanship.
After the Luoshen Spear merged with the Nine Luminaries Star-Treading technique, the two cultivation methods became one, allowing for simultaneous cultivation. This greatly accelerated his progress.
The White Dragon True God Manual and the Star-Piercing Arrow Technique also advanced in tandem.
During his free time, Jiang Ye sparred with Chen Zilu. He gained much from these sessions, and she also benefited. Though Jiang Ye's realm was lower than Chen Zilu's, his spearmanship was exceptionally unconventional.
While sparring with him, Chen Zilu occasionally had moments of insight.
However, Jiang Ye's gains were undoubtedly far greater than his senior sister's.
Thus, most of his time was spent either in secluded cultivation or seeking guidance from Qiu Cang.
Under this meticulous plan, his strength steadily improved.
Of course, he never missed his monthly cosmic tempering sessions.
Time flew by like an arrow.
In the blink of an eye, two months had passed, and it was now September 29th.
Inside the second-tier stellar energy tempering pool, Jiang Ye slowly rose to his feet after two consecutive days of immersion.
"Since advancing to Dao Bone Aptitude," he mused, "my stellar energy absorption efficiency has soared. I no longer need to stay in the pool for ten days or more as I used to."
Two days were sufficient for him to reap the maximum benefits.
Stellar energy could promote the transformation of one's life level, but there was a limit to how much could be absorbed at once.
Like Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasures, Jiang Ye needed time to refine it, to truly integrate the spiritual energy into his own.
Stellar energy was the same, though it required even longer.
Now, Jiang Ye no longer relied solely on stellar energy to advance his life level. For him, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasures were more effective.
Yet cosmic tempering remained indispensable.
During his last trip to the ancient star, Jiang Ye had depleted the tens of millions of strands of stellar energy within his body.
Cosmic tempering was the only way to replenish it.
"Two months of arduous cultivation."
"My realm has truly reached the late stage of the third breakthrough," Jiang Ye glanced at his status panel.
White Dragon True God Manual (Upper Volume): Uninitiated (65%)
Reaching 60% in the True God Manual meant entering the late stage of the third breakthrough.
Reaching 70% would signify the third breakthrough peak!
"Now,"
"My Guanyuan Acupoint can accommodate eighty million strands of stellar energy," Jiang Ye observed his internal state.
Six qi vortices now swirled within his Guanyuan Acupoint.
These were the fruits of his two months of cultivation.
To advance from the early to the peak of the third breakthrough, a total of seven qi vortices needed to be condensed.
By then, the Guanyuan Acupoint would be able to contain hundreds of millions of strands of stellar energy.
Though Jiang Ye hadn't reached such a level yet, he was only one step away from the third breakthrough peak.
"The most crucial part..."
"Now, the burst of a single strand of stellar energy from me is comparable to the power of over a hundred strands before my third breakthrough," Jiang Ye said, clenching his fists.
He felt the stellar energy coursing through his body.
Each strand seemed to contain immense, hidden power, making him feel overwhelmingly strong.
This sensation...
...was overwhelmingly powerful.
"There are five days left until the Star Realm Sea opens."
"It's time to undergo the Third Breakthrough Certification on the Cosmic Divine Path." Jiang Ye checked the time. "Today is the day the Third Breakthrough Certification opens."
This wasn't a coincidence.
Everything had been planned by Jiang Ye. After the cosmic tempering, he would immediately proceed to the Cosmic Divine Path for certification, wasting not a moment.
"Let's go."
Jiang Ye shot into the sky. The jet-black battle armor flowed like liquid, instantly enveloping his entire body.
His speed surged from 0 m/s to 1,000 m/s in an instant, like a thunderbolt, creating a terrifying sonic boom.
He sped into the distance.
Hundreds of kilometers from White Dragon University.
A magnificent golden palace, soaring into the clouds, stood at the center of the city.
This was the Cosmic Divine Path's certification trial site in Donghai City, where a long queue had already formed.
Whoosh!
A streak of light shot through the air, rapidly closing in. It halted abruptly just ten meters above the ground.
Boom! A powerful gust of wind slammed into the earth with a thunderous roar.
Jiang Ye didn't pause, flying directly into the palace.
"White Dragon University Class A Top-Tier Student, Jiang Ye, granted entry."
"Proceeding with Third Breakthrough power certification."
"Please wait while we activate your priority channel." Mechanical voices echoed.
"Priority channel?" Jiang Ye's expression remained calm.
He remembered his first time at the Cosmic Divine Path certification. Back then, he had waited in line for hours.
But now?
He was the champion of the Ten Schools League. His status and strength had undergone a seismic transformation.
Such a position was enough to make a massive institution like the Cosmic Divine Path open a special channel just for him.
There was no need to wait.
Suddenly,
"Jiang Ye," a clear voice called out.
Jiang Ye turned to see a beautiful girl in sea-blue battle armor walking toward him.
"Su Haiyue?" Jiang Ye's eyes widened in surprise.
It was Su Haiyue, the pride of Starry Sky University.
"Jiang Ye," Su Haiyue smiled. "What a coincidence. Are you here for the Third Breakthrough Certification too?"
"Yes," Jiang Ye nodded.
Su Haiyue was also entering the Star Realm Sea, clearly with the same goal as Jiang Ye.
Before entering the Star Realm Sea, the Cosmic Divine Path might offer unexpected improvements.
"Certificant Jiang Ye, your strength certification will begin shortly. Please prepare." A mechanical voice announced.
"Jiang Ye, it's your turn."
"Good luck with your certification," Su Haiyue said with a smile.
"Thanks. Same to you," Jiang Ye nodded.
Whoosh! In a flash, he vanished from his spot.
"That guy..."
Su Haiyue watched Jiang Ye's retreating figure, her pretty face filled with astonishment. "He feels much stronger than he did two months ago. Am I imagining things?"
"Could it be... he's close to the third breakthrough peak?"
"Impossible," Su Haiyue shook her head. "Going from the late stage of the third breakthrough to its peak takes at least six months for those without Transcendent Aptitude."
"However..."
"The rewards for the Third Breakthrough Certification are extremely generous," Su Haiyue thought to herself. "If I can complete it, it will greatly aid my cultivation."
A hint of anticipation flickered in her eyes.
Before heading to the Star Realm Sea, this would be her last chance to improve.
"Certificant Su Haiyue, you will now undergo your strength certification," the mechanical voice announced again.
"My turn," Su Haiyue said, rising and walking forward.
Through the teleportation array, she entered the Cosmic Divine Path trial field.
