Watching Professor Lu with shining eyes, Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel a hint of peculiarity.
If one were to compare their understanding of the path of martial arts evolution, not to mention Professor Lu in front of him, even those evolution scholars of human civilization would hardly surpass Lin Yuan.
Because the path of martial arts evolution was fundamentally pioneered and established by Lin Yuan himself. How could others compare?
It was like if all the questions were set by Lin Yuan, and the answers were solely at his discretion. Would outsiders dare to set questions?
Of course, the identity of the founder of the evolution path was too crucial, especially for the current hot topic of the martial arts evolution path.
Naturally, Lin Yuan would not admit his identity here.
You see, currently, most evolvers and high-level citizens in the Red Kun Star Domain all unanimously believe that the martial arts evolution path is an experiment of a certain lofty evolution scholar.
Who are the evolution scholars? They are the absolute upper echelons of human civilization, whether in terms of their own strength or their contributions to human civilization, they are beyond dispute.
Those non-human races outside of human civilization are extremely eager to assassinate an evolution scholar.
An evolution scholar may have never even set foot on a border battlefield, but their influence on the border battlefield is profound. They research evolutionary paths, various secret techniques, and even technological achievements.
They can even decide the outcome of localized wars.
Unfortunately, both the non-human races and the human race are aware of the importance of evolution scholars, and every evolution scholar is fiercely protected.
Moreover, evolution scholars are by no means weak; they have their own means of self-preservation.
Non-human races, let alone assassinating evolution scholars, can't even determine the position of an evolution scholar.
If Lin Yuan were to expose himself as the founder of the martial arts evolution path, the non-human races would undoubtedly launch a relentless assassination attempt.
Even if it meant paying the price of several Rank 6 infiltrators sneaking into human territory, they would still fervently assassinate Lin Yuan.
Why is the martial arts evolution path considered an experiment of the evolution scholars?
Why haven't other evolutionary paths been subjected to such speculation?
Isn't it because of the exceptionally high potential of the martial arts evolution path that leaves people astonished?
Ordinary founders of evolutionary paths simply cannot establish such high-level evolutionary paths.
Only evolution scholars, with their vast knowledge and insight spanning ancient and modern times, can create such potent evolutionary paths.
If the non-human races knew that the martial arts evolution path was created by an evolver who wasn't even Rank 6, how could they possibly allow Lin Yuan to continue to grow?
The martial arts evolution path has the potential to evolve into an eighth-Rank evolutionary path. Lin Yuan has a tiny chance of becoming the next evolution scholar of human civilization.
Even if assassinating Lin Yuan incurred a huge cost, it would still be much lighter than the billions of powerful beings from various races falling in future interstellar battles due to Lin Yuan's research and inventions.
Lin Yuan collected his thoughts.
He listened to Professor Lu's "insights."
"I think the path of martial arts evolution is not purely based on Qi and blood but integrates many other elements such as spiritual power, soul power, and mental power," Professor Lu expounded.
The principal of the Canglan Evolutionary Academy nodded slightly, finding Professor Lu's words reasonable.
Of course, this doesn't mean that what Lin Yuan said lacks merit.
Everyone has their own views and interpretations when it comes to studying the path of martial arts evolution.
This is normal.
Lin Yuan's evolutionary talent is indeed one of the best among the Canglan Star.
He reached the Fourth Rank before the age of a hundred.
But precisely because of this, most of Lin Yuan's time was spent on cultivation.
On the other hand, although Professor Lu's evolutionary talent was not as good as Lin Yuan's, he had been researching since the martial arts evolution path entered the Canglan Evolutionary Ranking a few years ago.
It was only natural for him to have a deep understanding of the martial arts evolution path.
"Alright."
"Professors Lu and Lin, both of your points are valid."
"Although everyone has different views, we are all working for the betterment of human civilization. Lin Yuan, you shouldn't mind Professor Lu's questioning. He's just like that sometimes, even daring to argue with the principal."
Professor Chu chuckled, smoothing things over.
"It's okay."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
He didn't mind Professor Lu's questioning just now.
Mainly because Lin Yuan didn't care too much; every word Professor Lu said was praising the path of martial arts evolution, and praising the path of martial arts evolution was essentially praising Lin Yuan, its founder.
"That's good."
Professor Chu nodded with satisfaction.
He returned to his personal space in the virtual world.
Lin Yuan pondered. His conversation with those professors just now, especially discussing their understanding of the martial arts evolution path, gave him more insights and feelings.
Cultivation and learning were never isolated activities; occasionally, one had to interact with the outside world.
Unrivaled Insight was based on the height Lin Yuan stood at and the profound enlightenment he pursued.
The more Lin Yuan knew, the broader his vision, the greater the effect of Unrivaled Insight.
After examining himself, Lin Yuan noticed a small red dot under the founder's virtual world column.
"Someone is contacting me?"
Lin Yuan immediately understood the meaning of this red dot.
During the fourth transmigration, in order to avoid disturbance, Lin Yuan directly closed any means of contact with him.
Naturally, the "message prompt" in the founder's world was also included.
"Who would contact me?"
Lin Yuan was curious. When he first entered the founder's world, he didn't know anyone, let alone have any friends.
Soon.
Lin Yuan entered the founder's virtual world.
"Is it the owner of that 'post'?"
Lin Yuan's expression became slightly solemn.
The question of this 'post' is:
Is it better to comprehend a single rule well, or to comprehend multiple rules?
At the time, Lin Yuan gave an answer based on his own perspective, and he didn't expect to receive a response from the owner of the post.
After all, the post was made twenty-three thousand years ago.
The owner of the post might have long since passed away.
"How to master myriad paths with one rule? Is it the Time Dao or the Space Dao?"
Lin Yuan looked at the reply from the owner of the post and fell into contemplation.
He used his own understanding of the Tao of Tai Chi to control myriad paths. As for the Time Dao and Space Dao, they were too distant for Lin Yuan.
Whether it was the rules of time or space, they were both among the supreme rules, only comprehensible by beings surpassing Rank 6.
Lin Yuan, being only at Rank 5, even with his Unrivaled Insight, couldn't possibly sense anything about time or space.
"By using the rules one has mastered as the framework, and incorporating other rules as the flesh, one can naturally master myriad paths with one rule."
After pondering for a while, Lin Yuan expressed his own insight.
In the endless distance, on a vast research planet.
The Tai-A Scholar was yawning; now that his research had reached a conclusion, the next few decades would be leisurely for him.
"Hmm?"
"A reply?"
The Tai-A Scholar immediately became alert.
In order to be notified of any replies to his questions as soon as possible, the Tai-A Scholar had designated the founder's world as 'special interest.'
As soon as there was any news, he would receive it immediately.
"A framework? Flesh? Too vague."
The Tai-A Scholar furrowed his brows slightly and continued to ask, "How exactly does one construct the framework of their own rules?"
In a manor on the Canglan Star.
Lin Yuan had just replied when he received a new question.
"Is this person just squatting here?"
Lin Yuan carefully read it and replied cautiously, "By combining the power of Yin and Yang to form a stable microcosm, accommodating myriad paths."
"Is he planning to 'open a realm'?"
The Tai-A Scholar marveled, conversing briefly with Lin Yuan.
The Tai-A Scholar concluded that Lin Yuan was probably not another scholar.
To become an evolution scholar, one needed to create and establish a stable Eighth-Rank evolutionary path at least. This meant that evolution scholars were at least Rank 8 evolvers.
And while Lin Yuan's answers just now were indeed not problematic, in some descriptions, they didn't sound like those of an Eighth-Rank evolver.
At least, using the power of Yin and Yang to form a stable domain was the rudiment of a certain kind of 'realm.'
"Remarkable, to prepare for the future 'opening of a realm' before reaching Rank 8. Without guidance, the potential is limitless."
The Tai-A Scholar muttered softly to himself.
"No wonder the protection from the Goddess of Wisdom is so tight." The Tai-A Scholar glanced around.
He was well aware that scholars like himself were under constant surveillance by the Goddess of Wisdom, both for protection and to prevent them from doing anything outrageous.
If an evolution scholar were to go mad, the consequences would be unpredictable.
"A few more questions."
The Tai-A Scholar became interested; it had been a long time since he had encountered a junior who sparked his enthusiasm like this.
Next.
The Tai-A Scholar and Lin Yuan chatted for over half an hour.
"This..."
The Tai-A Scholar's eyes widened in amazement; through his subtle guidance, they even touched upon other methods of 'opening realms.'
The Tai-A Scholar clearly felt that what was called the method of 'opening realms' was completely a blind spot in Lin Yuan's knowledge. He didn't even know what it was.
But as the Tai-A Scholar and Lin Yuan communicated deeply, the latter's understanding of several other methods of 'opening realms' rapidly improved, to a terrifying extent.
Terrifying to the point that even a scholar like him felt astonished.
"Is he pretending not to understand or does he truly not know?"
The Tai-A Scholar was somewhat puzzled.
From Lin Yuan's tone in answering the questions, the Tai-A Scholar was certain that the other party truly didn't understand and hadn't been exposed to the methods of 'opening realms.'
But if he truly didn't understand, how could he grasp the concepts of these other methods of 'opening realms' so quickly after just a few hints?
"A genius, an unparalleled genius."
The Tai-A Scholar immediately stood up and paced back and forth.
"Huh?"
"He logged off?"
The Tai-A Scholar noticed that Lin Yuan suddenly disconnected from the virtual world.
On the Canglan Star, at the manor.
The conversation with the Tai-A Scholar had a profound impact on Lin Yuan. He even had to disconnect and return to the real world to focus on comprehending the martial arts evolution path.
"To master myriad paths with the Tao of Tai Chi."
"But what if it's not the Tao of Tai Chi?"
"Can one still master myriad paths?"
Countless insights surged in Lin Yuan's mind.
[Your Insight is unrivaled, dissecting one way to master myriad paths, continuously perfecting the path of martial arts evolution.]
[Your Insight is unrivaled, dissecting one way to master myriad paths, continuously perfecting the path of martial arts evolution.]
[Your Insight is unrivaled, dissecting one way to master myriad paths, continuously perfecting the path of martial arts evolution.]
Lin Yuan plunged into deep-level cultivation.
Even his external perception was mostly blocked out.
Fortunately, Lin Yuan often did this, and his parents were used to it. As long as Lin Yuan didn't come out, they wouldn't actively disturb him.
Several days later.
Lin Yuan opened his eyes.
This seclusion had a significant impact on him, even causing him to reconsider the foundation of martial arts.
"That person is at least a high-tier evolver, no weaker than my teacher," Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Just through a few conversations, Lin Yuan had gained a lot.
As Lin Yuan continued to contemplate, the upgrade sound of the intelligent assistant rang out.
"Master, you have a delivery."
"It's from Shuntong Group and is classified as S-level encryption."
"A delivery?" Lin Yuan was momentarily surprised.
But upon hearing 'Shuntong Group' and S-level encryption, he was instantly taken aback.
Shuntong Group was the largest transportation group in the human civilization, with its operations not limited to the Human Alliance.
In the vast expanse of the universe, while human civilization had many enemies, it also had many allies and affiliated groups. As long as it was within reach of human civilization, it fell within Shuntong Group's transportation range.
As for reliability and confidentiality, Shuntong Group was officially endorsed by human civilization, making it absolutely trustworthy.
It stood at the same level as the Central Galactic Bank.
Of course, Shuntong Group charged exorbitant fees, starting at a hundred millions at the minimum.
For S-level encrypted deliveries by Shuntong Group, prices started at billions.
As for the specific amount, it depended on the size of the item being transported and whether it had any other influencing factors.
For example, transporting a stone would naturally cost differently from transporting a planet.
S-level encrypted deliveries were part of Shuntong Group's high-level services, escorted by eight Rank 6 evolvers and one Rank 7 evolver.
Their whereabouts were completely confidential, and besides the recipient like Lin Yuan, no one else could know.
"When did..."
Lin Yuan hesitated.
Just then, the Lord of Red Kun Star Domain suddenly sent a message.
"Hahaha, my good disciple, the package should have arrived, right?"
"Is it from the teacher?" Lin Yuan felt a slight certainty in his heart.
If he hadn't figured out who sent it, Lin Yuan probably wouldn't have accepted it.
But now...
"Teacher, what is it, and why does it require S-level encryption from Shuntong Group?" Lin Yuan felt a bit distressed; that was worth billions of civilization credits.
"You'll know when you receive it," the Lord of Red Kun Star Domain said mysteriously.
"Okay."
Lin Yuan nodded.
Then he left the main building and went outside the manor.
A man in a black uniform was already waiting there.
This man looked very ordinary, with no difference from other delivery personnel.
However, Lin Yuan knew that to ensure the item was delivered to the recipient, the person who made the final handover was often the strongest member of the transport team.
For S-level encrypted deliveries by Shuntong Group, a Rank 7 evolver accompanied them.
In other words, this man in the black uniform was a Rank 7 evolver.
"Sir," the man in the black uniform greeted respectfully.
Anyone who could afford Shuntong Group's S-level encryption was of extremely high status, even beyond Rank 6.
"Hello," Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
Then, he went through fingerprint, iris, and soul wave authentication.
Once it was confirmed that Lin Yuan was indeed the recipient, the man in the black uniform handed over a simple black briefcase to him.
"Hmm?"
As Lin Yuan received the briefcase, his expression changed slightly.
