Chapter 11. Ambition
That night, starlight came into the room through the window and shone on Li Ye's bed.

Li Ye did not sleep, but silently practiced the Seven Star Technique to draw the power of the seven stars into his body.

The power of the Seven Stars enters the body, and under the effect of the Seven Star Technique, part of it flows into the spiritual sea, and part of it flows into the limbs and bones.

"The power of the Seven Stars has been transformed into something else by the Seven Stars Technique, as if it has been decomposed. This is how my spiritual power can be enhanced." I felt the changes in the power of the Seven Stars, and my mind was working rapidly.

"The power of the Seven Stars can only be integrated into the body after being transformed or decomposed, improving my physical fitness."

"That is to say, the power of the seven stars cannot be used directly. It needs to be transformed and decomposed to increase spiritual power and strengthen the body."

"Is it the same with spiritual power? Is it that the mortal body is too fragile to withstand such high-level energy as spiritual power, and can only absorb and consume energy at the level of chemical energy?" Li Ye couldn't help but think wildly.

"During the physical training class in the afternoon, under the stimulation of spiritual electricity, the spiritual power seemed to be broken down into smaller energies. These broken down spiritual power molecules can be absorbed and help the human body recover from injuries."

"Can energy that is smaller than spiritual energy molecules be directly absorbed by the human body and strengthen the body?"

"If that's the case, then the Seven Star Power and spiritual power should be essentially the same kind of energy, but the Seven Star Power is of a higher standard. In other words, the Seven Star Power is a special high-level spiritual power."

"According to my speculation, the spirit host cannot manipulate the power of the seven stars like the spiritual power. The reason is that the physical strength is not enough, or the life level is insufficient."

"Then, when the human body reaches a certain level of strength and the life level reaches a certain height, the spirit host will be able to use the power of the seven stars, or even higher levels of energy, such as divine power. Perhaps at that time, humans will ascend to the throne of God and become gods!"

"Hey, hey, hey, we've gone too far. The most urgent thing now is to think of how to decompose the spiritual power."

“Hey, the Seven Star Technique can transform and decompose the power of seven stars, so can it decompose spiritual power?” Although the Seven Star Technique has special properties for the power of seven stars, the universality lies in the particularity, so it doesn’t hurt to give it a try.

Li Ye acted immediately. He practiced the Seven Star Technique and stopped drawing the power of the seven stars. He used spiritual power to replace the power of the seven stars.

Well, a little bit, but not much.

"Hey, what's going on? This efficiency is even worse than lifting weights by myself!" Li Ye was a little disappointed.

After a while, Li Ye suddenly had an idea, "If the power of the Seven Stars is a high-level spiritual power with special characteristics, and the Seven Stars Technique can decompose high-level spiritual power, then spiritual power, which is a lower level of energy, can definitely also be decomposed."

Therefore, there is only one truth, and the problem lies in the particularity of the Seven Stars. So, if we remove this particularity, will the problem be solved?

"How do we eliminate this particularity? Well, that's a problem."

Li Ye pondered for a long time, remembering that in his previous life in high school, he copied his classmates' homework. If several classmates had different opinions, he would just copy the same answer that everyone had.

"Yes, I will remove the different ones. I rely on the Seven Star Technique to decompose the power of the Seven Stars. So if I remove all the parts related to the Seven Stars in the Seven Star Technique and then practice it, will it be okay?"

Li Ye sat up excitedly, as if a corpse had suddenly come back to life. Fortunately, Gao Chong, Yang Tianyu and Fang Shuwen were all asleep, otherwise they would have been frightened if they had seen this scene.

He recited the Seven Star Formula silently and deleted all the parts related to the Seven Stars or those obviously affected by the Seven Stars.

Suddenly, he felt a little worried again. Based on his experience from reading novels in his previous life, deleting or modifying the skills would very likely lead to obsession. He began to hesitate whether to continue.

"Damn it, just do it, just rush it and it's over. Don't listen to the bell in the opposite direction at that time." Li Ye gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and started to practice the Seven Stars Formula without the Seven Stars.

One's determination must match one's ambition.

How can you realize your ambition of reaching the top if you hesitate and shrink?

As the exercises are practiced, the spiritual energy in the body is mobilized.

"Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, I succeeded, I did it." Li Ye was extremely excited. He didn't expect that his wild and seemingly ridiculous idea would actually succeed.

Under the operation of the abridged version of the Seven Star Art, his spiritual power was broken down into micro-molecules that could be directly absorbed by the body, and his physical fitness was slowly getting stronger.

After a while, he stopped practicing his skills, not because something went wrong, but because he had run out of spiritual energy.

Cultivating spiritual power is actually about increasing the upper limit of the spiritual sea. The higher the spiritual sea value, the more spiritual power it can accommodate and the stronger it is.

The higher the physical strength, the more spiritual energy you will need to consume to improve it.

However, the stronger the body is, the more spiritual power it can carry; the stronger it is, the higher the load it can withstand, and the stronger the ability it can exert.

Li Ye began to practice the complete version of the Seven Star Technique again, mobilizing the power of the seven stars, restoring his spiritual strength and strengthening his body.

"From now on, you can practice the abridged version of the Seven Star Art during the day, and the complete version of the Seven Star Art at night."

"Hehe, with dual SIM cards and dual standby, I can practice non-stop. I can't imagine how efficient my practice will be."

"Now, I officially announce that the most awesome genius in the history of the underworld has been born!"

"Underworld, your emperor is back!" Li Ye thought happily in his heart.

A night without words...

Early the next morning, the sun rose and the sky became bright.

After Li Ye finished his training and washed up, he was ready to eat something. Gao Chong and Yang Tianyu had not gotten up yet.

Only Fang Shuwen had gotten up, so he said to Fang Shuwen, "Shuwen, do you want to go get something to eat together?"

"How can I not go? You don't even know where the cafeteria is, so I can take you there." Fang Shuwen chuckled.

"Let's go then."

Among the big bag of things that Uncle Zhou gave me yesterday, there was a pass to the Island of Dead Souls, which was similar in function to the campus card in my previous life.

The only difference is that the pass does not contain money, but contribution points.

As a student in the genius class, the initial contribution points are 1,000 points, and there are 500 free contribution points every year.

For students in ordinary classes, the initial contribution points are only 100 points, and then only 50 points each year.

Contribution points are used for eating, shopping, exchanging training materials, trial opportunities, trading, etc. on Dead Soul Island.

You know what, you really don't know, the prices on Dead Soul Island are quite cheap.

The cafeteria has a wide variety of food with various styles and the prices are very low, basically no more than five contribution points.

As if noticing Li Ye's curiosity, Fang Shuwen began to explain.

"Because these are ordinary foods, they have no real benefit to the spirit host, they just simply satisfy the appetite." He paused, then continued,
"If the price is not cheaper and the taste is not better, no one will buy it."

"I see. Then what foods are useful for spirit-hosting people?" Li Ye asked.

"Spiritual meals and spiritual food are made from things containing spiritual power. Eating them is good for spiritual power." Fang Shuwen replied.

"There are even things like elixirs and magic pills, but they are very expensive," Fang Shuwen continued.

"It seems that the underworld is similar to the world of cultivation in novels." Li Ye muttered softly.

"What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly."

"Nothing, let's go eat first and bring some for Chong and Tianyu."

"Well, let's go."

……

On the road, Li Ye and Fang Shuwen stood side by side.

Li Ye suddenly said, "Shu Wen, are you willing to follow me?"

"What do you mean? Aye." Fang Shuwen pretended not to understand what Li Ye meant.

"It's just like Fang Xuanling followed the King of Qin back then." Li Ye looked into Fang Shuwen's eyes and answered seriously.

Fang Shuwen was silent, and Li Ye didn't speak either.

After a long while, Fang Shuwen spoke up to break the silence: "Aye, can you tell me what you want to do?"

"Naturally, he is like Emperor Taizong Wen, striving for the pinnacle."

Fang Shuwen suddenly raised his head, his eyes sparkling, staring closely at Li Ye's eyes. Seeing that there was no joking in his eyes, only absolute determination and confidence, he knelt on one knee, clasped his hands and said:

"Shuwen is willing to serve you as his lord!"

Yes, Fang Shuwen is to Li Ye as Fang Xuanling is to Li Shimin, two flowers that are so similar. A destined relationship between master and minister.

Everyone has his own destiny, destined by God.

In the vast underworld, we are fortunate to meet, fortunate to continue writing the great chapter of thousands of years ago, and fortunate to create a new legendary myth together.
