I wonder how effective the level four body-refining method is. It's a pity I've already done it today; I can only try it tomorrow...
Lu Xiaobai thought to himself.
The Basic Body-Refining Method could only be performed for two cycles a day. If one forced a third cycle, although there would still be improvement, they would suffer immense tearing pain and might even be bedridden for a week. It simply wasn't worth the loss.
If I just get one more Starry Sky Point, I can upgrade the body-refining method to the max level and activate the legendary extreme state effect...
Lu Xiaobai muttered to himself, his face full of fantasy:
When that time comes, the effect will be at least a hundred times that of the level one body-refining method!
If he could really upgrade it to the max level, he was confident he would get extremely satisfactory results in the Star Exam. After all, just as Nangong Ling had said, as long as the level of the body-refining method went up, the total score of the Star Exam would go up too!
And this is just the basic body-refining method. Wait until I upgrade the Lu family's exclusive body-refining method to the max level in the future, along with other attack-type star skills, and even special skills...
Lu Xiaobai licked his lips, as if he could already see the scene of himself roaming unhindered across the starry sky.
His heart filled with boundless heroism, he suddenly stood up, disabled the aircraft's autopilot, and switched directly to manual control.
Accelerate, give me more speed!
He turned the acceleration knob straight to the maximum.
Boom, boom—
Fiery red exhaust sprayed from the rear of the aircraft, and its speed increased once more, easily reaching five hundred kilometers per hour, and this was still not its limit!
With an excited look on his face, he accelerated madly, not worried in the slightest about causing a traffic accident.
Technology today had long undergone earth-shattering changes. His aircraft was equipped with an intelligent obstacle avoidance system that could prevent all accidents. As the driver, all he needed to do was mindlessly accelerate!
Right at this moment,
His gaze turned toward a massive virtual screen suspended above the city center, which was currently broadcasting the daily hot news.
According to the latest news from the Starry Sky Channel, Chen Yuan, Vice Commander of the Third Legion of the Human Federation, has unlocked the first gene lock and successfully advanced to become a Transcendent. Under his leadership, our forces hold an absolute advantage on the Boyao Star battlefield, completely routing the frontal defense line of the Star Zerg and achieving fruitful combat results!
On May 20th, a Starry Sky Desolate Beast that intruded into the human star region was encircled and annihilated by the Radiant Hunting Group. According to news sent back from the scene, this was an adult Desolate Claw Beast with a vitality level of 90. Its body contains precious desolate stones that can be integrated into high-level mechas, making its value immeasurable!
Breaking news, breaking news! The Third Exploration Group has discovered a life-sustaining planet in the North Star Region. With a diameter of fifty thousand kilometers, its climate and environment are extremely suitable for human habitation. This will inevitably become our next home! To commend the Third Exploration Group for their major contribution, the planet will be personally named by them!
Listening to these inspiring pieces of news one after another, Lu Xiaobai's heart grew even more excited as he muttered,
One day, I will also make it onto these trending news broadcasts...
He stood up, feeling the wind whistling past the window, and shouted with all his might,
I, Lu Xiaobai, am destined to leave my name in the endless starry sky!
Click! Click!
A series of blinding camera flashes suddenly lit up, all aimed directly at Lu Xiaobai...
Huh? What the heck?
Lu Xiaobai looked stunned.
Bzz! Bzz! Speeding, speeding!
Right at that moment, a robot wearing a traffic police uniform appeared instantly and forcefully intercepted Lu Xiaobai's aircraft.
Eh?
Lu Xiaobai was taken aback and hurriedly said,
Isn't there no speed limit in the suburbs of Starlight City?
You have entered the city center area...
The traffic robot's eyes glowed red, and an electronic voice sounded from its mouth:
Speeding by three hundred percent. Issuing ticket now!
After saying that, it slapped a huge stack of tickets from its hand directly onto the front window of the aircraft.
No, bro, are you drawing a comic book here?
Lu Xiaobai's mouth twitched.
The traffic robot did not respond, simply stating in a mechanical tone,
You have left your name at the traffic department. Please drive civilly!
...
Looking at the massive pile of tickets in front of him, Lu Xiaobai's previous lofty aspirations vanished in an instant...
Before he could leave his name in the starry sky, he had left it at the traffic department first...
I already bought potions at a high price, and now this happens. It's really adding insult to injury!
He sighed, then glanced at the date and muttered to himself,
Good thing it's the end of the month, and my living expenses will be refreshed soon. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know how I'd survive the coming days...
...
Ten minutes later,
Lu Xiaobai returned to the gate of his residential community in the city center at a normal speed.
Dear owner, welcome home!
A pure white, chubby, round robot recognized Lu Xiaobai's face and made a welcoming gesture.
Don't be fooled by this robot's goofy appearance; it was a bona fide combat robot. Although it was only D-class, it was enough to fend off most thugs!
This was unlike ancient times. This robot security guard could truly protect the peace of an area, and it wouldn't hit on the owner Xiaodan...
I'm a member of the Lu family anyway, yet I've been reduced to living in an ordinary residential community...
He stepped into the community, unable to help but think of the Lu family's main planet. That entire planet belonged to their Lu family!
When I have the strength myself, I must definitely buy a life-sustaining planet from the Human Federation Government...
Of course, he was just fantasizing.
Although humanity had entered the interstellar age and controlled a massive expanse of star regions, they possessed fewer than a thousand life-sustaining planets. Buying a planet wasn't something that could be done just by having money; it also required making a massive contribution to humanity.
The Lu family's planet came from Ancestor Lu's contribution to humanity. He was one of the pioneers of humanity's interstellar age!
Stay grounded, stay grounded, take it slowly...
Lu Xiaobai calmed his excited mood.
Taking steps too big would only tear one's crotch...
Welcome home, Master. What would you like to order for dinner?
A white-bearded old man wearing a suit walked up, his face covered with a kind smile, but the voice speaking was a mechanical electronic sound.
Obviously, this was also a robot, and an extremely high-end one at that, primarily responsible for Lu Xiaobai's daily life.
Braised small star beast meat, stir-fried blue-scaled snake meat, and add a portion of ginseng essence soup.
Lu Xiaobai casually ordered a few nutritious dishes, then sat comfortably on the sofa to wait.
Right at this moment,
The chip watch on his wrist vibrated, indicating an incoming call.
Huh? Old man?
Lu Xiaobai was slightly taken aback, then answered it without hesitation.
In an instant,
The image of a majestic middle-aged man appeared.
It was none other than Lu Xiaobai's father, Lu Xingtian, the head of the Lu family, and also one of the Speakers of Humanity!
Today, humanity has long since abolished national borders. The highest governing body is the Human Federation Council, which consists of ten Council Presidents and a hundred Councilors. All major decisions for mankind must be made by the Federation Council.
Although there is more than one President, the man before him undoubtedly wields monstrous power. Furthermore, he himself is a terrifying Star Martial powerhouse!
"Lu Xiaobai!"
Lu Xingtian's gaze was calm but full of majesty, making people instinctively afraid to meet his eyes.
"Uh..."
Lu Xiaobai's expression jolted, and he said cautiously,
"Dad, could you not call me by my full name? I still prefer it when you call me Xiaobai."
According to international convention, whenever parents call you by your full name, it basically means nothing good is about to happen...

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family."

Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
