Starry Sky Professional Directory 121
September 1st.
“Fellow students, on behalf of Blue Star University, I welcome your arrival…”
On the podium, Nie Ying was giving a passionate speech.
Uh… for everyone’s convenience, this speech was conducted in the Blue Star University community on the virtual network.
After all, they were all Professionals, with many things to keep them busy.
Fang Xing pretended to listen attentively while listlessly checking his email, suddenly pausing.
“Master, you have a new email.”
Xiaolan, perched on his shoulder, whispered in his ear.
“Mm.”
Fang Xing clicked it open: “Finally, the assigned mentor has arrived?”
【Dear Fang Xing, your mentor is ‘Pan Xiong’, and your advisor is ‘Wei Shentong’. Contact information: …】
He found the beginning fine, but the latter part truly amused him.
“Wei Shentong, advisor?”
“Forget it, some college students never see their advisor more than a few times during their entire college career…”
“As long as the mentor is reliable.”
Thinking this, he immediately sent a message to ‘Pan Xiong’.
Almost within minutes of sending it, the reply arrived.
“Hello, Fang Xing, as your mentor, I need to comprehensively assess your abilities… Let’s meet offline for the first time. You can come to the public training room, room Q34, the password is XXX…”
Pan Xiong’s reply was very serious, but Fang Xing knew the other party was definitely distracted.
Otherwise, how could he reply so quickly?
Shouldn’t he be listening to the school leaders’ speech?
“Okay.”
He actually felt quite good about this.
‘This virtual space is nice, but it can hardly handle the data of high-level powerhouses… Hopefully, it will be optimized in the future.’
Just as Fang Xing was daydreaming, he suddenly heard enthusiastic applause around him.
Although he didn’t know where the speech had reached, following the applause was the right thing to do.
…
Hiss!
A large amount of icy mist appeared, and Fang Xing stepped out of the holographic virtual cabin, glancing at his attribute panel:

…
“Except for the Mahābhote-like Chant, which I’ve been intentionally suppressing, everything else has increased quite a bit. It was worth the hard training all summer… Although I did play some games occasionally…”
Fang Xing observed while stepping onto his newly bought flying skateboard, flying low to the public training room.
Not buying a skateboard was really impossible; Blue Star University was too big, even using his body techniques to travel was troublesome.
Looking down from above, the public training room was enormous, like a precisely constructed honeycomb, divided into different structures.
From the most basic martial arts training rooms to specialized shooting ranges, weapons testing grounds, potion labs, mecha repair shops, space simulation cabins… it had everything.
Room Q34.
After entering the password, Fang Xing entered, instantly feeling a gravitational force attacking him.
“The gravity in this room is at least three times that of the outside!”
His expression remained unchanged as he surveyed his surroundings.
The floor was a reddish-brown material emitting a herbal fragrance. It was both firm and springy underfoot.
The space was extremely spacious, at least three hundred square meters.
At this moment, it was empty, with only a few people standing in the middle.
Fang Xing glanced over and recognized two of them!
“Su Longyan!”
He smiled, greeting a timid female student.
“Fang…”
Su Longyan seemed a little afraid of Fang Xing, having some psychological trauma.
This female student wasn’t weak, she just had bad luck encountering Fang Xing. However, Fang Xing had watched videos of her subsequent performance in the revival tournament, where she fought her way through, showing great perseverance, worthy of praise.
Besides her, there was a gun-wielding boy with a determined face, named Ouyang Qiang.
This student was skilled with a long spear, with amazing perseverance. The scene of him being knocked unconscious off the stage yet remaining standing left an impression on Fang Xing.
Fang Xing didn’t recognize the remaining student, who was fair-skinned and looked very young.
“Good, you’ve all arrived.”
The fair-skinned boy smiled slightly: “Let me introduce myself, I’m Pan Xiong, 87 years old, and I’m your martial arts instructor!”
“…”
Fang Xing suspected it was a prank, but after sensing the other’s strength, he chose to remain silent.
The spiritual energy of a Martial Artist was extraordinary, and practicing the Mahābhote-like Chant further enhanced his innate spiritual perception.
‘This teacher… looks like a shota, but is named Pan Xiong, but is he still this young at 86?’
‘It seems that martial arts cultivation to a high level makes you look younger, not inferior to the Immortal Dao. Or… did he have genetic surgery?’
“What? Don’t believe me?”
Pan Xiong chuckled, a golden light suddenly rising, quickly enveloping the surroundings like a golden sun, bringing a terrifying pressure!
“Ah!”
Su Longyan and Ouyang Qiang exclaimed, taking a step back. Seeing Fang Xing not retreat, they looked at him with complex expressions.
Seeing that Fang Xing didn’t retreat, a satisfied expression appeared on Pan Xiong’s face, but another layer of gold covered his body, making him look like a demon-subduing Vajra, solemn and majestic.
“Martial Dao Golden Body! Vajra Realm!”
Fang Xing took half a step back, his face showing shock: “Greetings, Master!”
“Mm, a promising student. You’re worthy of being this year’s number one in Martial Dao.”
Pan Xiong nodded: “Yin Hongding is afraid I’ll compete with him for the Ancient Sword Pass, haha… relying on top-tier abilities, even with extraordinary talent and a smooth sailing path, encountering more and stronger geniuses can easily lead to discouragement. I like you guys who claw your way out of the mud, you’re tenacious!”
“Master!”
At this time, Su Longyan and Ouyang Qiang also stepped forward and bowed.
“Mm, I’ll teach you two lessons a week. Think carefully about what you need to ask…” Pan Xiong was a straightforward Martial Artist: “As for university advice, participate more in student union tasks, get more credits, look at the All Spirits Catalogue, get good stuff from the treasure vault, that’s it… Fang Xing, you ask first.”
“Master, my Niwan Palace is complete, and the Great Dragon Stake is only a short time away from breaking through to the fifth stage. I wonder if I should directly attack the Outer Scene?”
Fang Xing asked his question, not noticing the shocked expressions of the other two students.
This was the pace of a freshman about to break through to the fifth realm of Martial Dao?
‘Could this… be a true genius?’
Su Longyan lowered her head, then stubbornly raised it again.
“Mm… your ‘Spirit’ is indeed complete, only lacking the achievement of a realm to break into the fifth realm of Martial Dao. However, I see you’re taking the Dragon Tiger Golden Elixir path, so it’s better to wait a little longer and cultivate the Suppressing Tiger Stake to the fifth stage… Dragon and Tiger coordination must start before the Outer Scene…”
Pan Xiong gave some guidance: “Also… I watched your previous battle videos. I suggest you learn another body technique.”
“Yes, I want to learn ‘Stepping Through the Void,’ but this technique seems to be only learnable after the Outer Scene…”
Fang Xing was envious of Xia Long’s ability to walk on air, but Xia Long’s technique required realm power, so he couldn’t learn it.
He didn’t like the other body techniques, so he decided to wait for school to start and see what his mentor suggested.
“Mm, go to the school library and search for a body technique—‘Dancing Through the Void.’ This technique is derived from Stepping Through the Void, but it is more profound. It’s an S-class martial art that was completed in the last two years.”
Pan Xiong pointed out: “Dancing Through the Void, once you master it, allows you to walk through the air without needing the Outer Scene realm…”
“Yes!”
Fang Xing decided to check it out after going back. He needed to improve his body techniques.
“Su Longyan, your Taiji Intent is good… but you’re too immersed in the Yin and Yang way of overcoming enemies. From today on, learn the Crazy Eighteen Strikes, the Mad Demon Staff Technique… and train in crazy, ferocious strength every day.”
“Ouyang Qiang, you have plenty of perseverance, but lack of foundation… First improve your realm…”
Pan Xiong began to guide the other two students.
Fang Xing took this opportunity to download ‘Dancing Through the Void’, looked it over, and was delighted.
“To master Dancing Through the Void, you must use strong force to step on the air… imagine the air as a solid, and you can naturally use it as a foothold… To do this, you need a strong physique and amazing explosive power… It’s perfect for me!”
Previously, the martial arts in the Grand Library were vast, and even if Fang Xing specifically looked at body techniques, there were tens of thousands of books, making it impossible to find them.
Yet Pan Xiong could point it out immediately, making Fang Xing admire his sharp eye.
“Master, could you teach me the ‘Dancing Through the Void Intent’?”
Fang Xing seized the opportunity to ask another question.
If he could comprehend it once, he could use it as a standard to continuously practice and master it.
And once he mastered it, he could record it in his attribute panel, and then what was there to fear?
“Dancing Through the Void Intent?”
A smile curved Pan Xiong’s lips: “I can’t… This technique isn’t compatible with me.”
“Then… can I try in the virtual space?”
Fang Xing asked tentatively.
Although the virtual space could at most simulate Outer Scene experts, the Intent reserves should be quite rich.
“Haha, that space only has Outer Scene experts demonstrating, how could that be clear enough?”
A mysterious smile appeared on Pan Xiong’s lips: “It just so happens… that I will let you see the true foundation of Blue Star University—the ‘All Spirits Catalogue’!”
“All Spirits Catalogue, what is that?”
Su Longyan asked.
“The All Spirits Catalogue is a scroll!”
Pan Xiong seemed to have answered nothing, keeping the three of them in suspense, before chuckling: “It is a mysterious picture left by the founding president, developed and added to by the school’s strong cultivators over generations… it has almost integrated thousands of martial arts in the world. As long as you comprehend it, your Intent and Realm can make tremendous progress…”
