The garrison.
The highest violent organ in a state.
No doubt about it.
Normally, the garrison was not well-known, and many people only knew its name but had never heard of it.
However, once ferocious beasts wreak havoc or monsters invade, all departments in the state must cooperate with the garrison.
Even if one wants to remove a governor who is at the top of power in a state, it only takes a word from the garrison chief.
Li Bin had passed by the garrison more than once when he was teaching students in Xinghui Hall, but this was the first time he actually entered the garrison.
As the vehicle drove in, Li Bin clearly felt a slight discomfort.
This is because there are many powerful people guarding the mansion.
There are quite a few star refiners and high-level star refiners.
Although Li Yin had just won the World Martial Arts Tournament not long ago and was known as the best in the world, this title was limited to the martial arts world.
A warrior who breaks into a gathering place full of star refiners is like a sheep entering the territory of a fierce tiger, and he will immediately show abnormalities.
Fortunately, as Li Bin strengthened his belief, this discomfort soon dissipated.
At this time, the vehicle also passed through villas and attics and drove into a manor with an area of more than 50,000 square meters, with hills, trees, and artificial lakes.
The vehicle stopped in front of the main building, and a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, who looked to be in his early fifties, was already waiting there.
After Zhou Xiuyuan and Li Yin got out of the car, they smiled and said, "Li Wusheng, I won't go in. You can just follow Butler Fang."
Li Yin nodded.
Although Zhou Xiuyuan was the person in charge of Xinghui Palace, he did not dare to enter the manor rashly without the summons of Palace Master Xiang Tianxing.
"Li Wusheng, this way please."
Butler Fang, dressed in a suit and tie, waved his hand and took Li Pin directly to the backyard.
The backyard is covered with lawns, planted with flowers, and has several awnings.
A man who looked to be in his early thirties, seemingly quite young, was watching a young girl practicing sword on the lawn.
Although it was just a back view, as his figure and the sunlight shone together, his entire body was still shrouded in a faint glow.
It's like photosynthetic rendering is turned up to its limit.
Just a back view gives people a dreamy feeling.
This is…
Astral body.
When necessary, the star power stored in the Star Palace can be detonated to completely transform the flesh and blood body into energy, thereby breaking the special structure that shackles the physical body.
After being energized, the Star Refiners have almost become a new species, surpassing the limits of carbon-based life in all aspects, and some things that carbon-based life simply cannot do...
Things like resisting high temperatures, freezing, being out of the air, running at supersonic speeds, etc. are no longer shackles for them.
Decades ago, someone conducted an experiment and found that top-level star refiners who had been energized could even roam in space without the help of any external objects.
Possessing an astral body…
The identity of the man in front of him was about to be revealed.
It was Xiang Tianxing, the lord of Jiangzhou Garrison Mansion, a top star refiner, who had once listened to lectures under the seat of Fu Qingtian, the strongest Tianyuan master. In the eyes of Su Mai and others, he had the greatest hope of combining his own will with the will of atoms and stepping into the field of great star refiner.
At this time, the garrison commander did not look back.
Li Yin also stood there quietly without saying anything.
The only sound left in the field was the sound of the wind caused by the girl practicing with the sword.
However, after practicing for a while, the girl seemed to have seen Li Pin, and suddenly shouted in surprise: "You are... Li Pin who won the honor of 'Number One in the World' for our Taibai?"
"Continue practicing sword skills."
Xiang Tianxing said in a deep voice.
"oh."
The girl didn't dare to disobey. After secretly glancing at Li Yin, she started practicing sword skills again.
But the following process was obviously a bit absent-minded.
Xiang Tianxing still did not call for a stop, but turned around and looked at Li Bin, gazing at her.
While he was looking at Li Pin, Li Pin was also looking at him.
Compared to Su Mai, the lord of the garrison mansion's attainments in the astral body are undoubtedly much higher.
This can be seen just by looking at the fact that his whole body seems to be glowing.
Su Mai cannot reach this level.
Put this garrison master in darkness...
He would really be like a star in the dark, with nowhere to hide.
Whether it is his face that has been optimized to perfection or the starlight all over his body, he will become the focus of everyone's attention.
If it were some people who are obsessed with looks, they would definitely throw themselves into the arms of this uncle, the lord of the garrison mansion, like moths to a flame.
"You are great to be able to stand out from countless competitors and win the title of the best in the world at the age of 23, Li Yin."
Xiang Tianxing said calmly.
"Thank you for the compliment."
Li Yin responded.
"So, what do you want from me?"
The mansion lord went straight to the point.
Li Yin thought for a moment and said, "I'm sorry."
The next moment, the Qi and blood in his body were suddenly activated.
And almost at the moment when he activated the qi and blood in his body, an unspeakable tremor suddenly swept through his whole body.
His blood, which should have been boiling immediately, seemed to be completely stagnant at this moment.
It was like midsummer, when suddenly a cold wind swept in and froze all the sparkling waves on the lake.
Li Yin's eyes narrowed.
He had stimulated his energy and blood in front of an orc warrior before, and although he had suffered a considerable impact, he had gradually adapted to the situation as he became more proficient during this period. Although he could not exert his full strength, maintaining full combat effectiveness was a piece of cake for him.
But now facing this top star refiner...
Xiang Tianxing looked at him quietly, with no intention of restraining the fluctuations of his own star power.
Li Pin took a deep breath and the secret technique of burning blood was unleashed.
The originally solidified lake surface seemed to be thrown into by a cannonball, and all the frozen ice layers were blown apart, splashing out huge waves of water. The waves, accompanied by surging and fiery blood, brought high temperatures and boiling water, instantly breaking through the suppression of this top star refiner.
But even so, he still felt that every part of his body was alerting him to restrain his energy and blood and not to show any disrespect to the life in front of him.
Under this terrifying oppression, Li Bin, who was wearing a full set of star weapons, had his spiritual will stimulated to the extreme, as if he had broken away from his body and was suppressing and controlling the rebellion of his flesh as a third party.
It took him a full half minute to suppress this "rebellion" with the help of his "insight" talent.
Then, his energy and spirit began to surge and combine in an all-round way.
When this surge and combination reached the critical point, Li Pin took action and grabbed it in the air.
Taiyin Youying is performed!
A circle of visible ripples erupted from his grip, and instantly spread to two or three meters away.
Although the ripples only spread over two or three meters, they had dissipated, but Xiang Tianxing, who had been maintaining a calm and indifferent attitude, suddenly had his eyes narrowed.
It was as if I saw some incredible scene.
He couldn't help but lean forward.
With this movement, an even greater force of suppression and interference surged in.
Li Pin could no longer maintain absolute control over his body, and his energy and spirit quickly became disordered.
If he was not in a special state where his mind was controlling his body, the atomic riot caused by Xiang Tianxing's forward body would be enough to make him vomit blood and get injured.
this…
This is the price a Martial Saint would face when taking action against a top-notch Star Refiner.
At this time, Xiang Tianxing also quickly gathered the star power in his body.
"Again."
He said in a deep voice.
Even though he tried his best to restrain himself, Butler Fang could still hear the suppressed excitement in his tone.
Without the interference of the atomic will caused by the star power of this top star refiner, Li Bin felt much more relaxed in controlling his spirit, energy, and the use of sword intent and sword momentum.
As he attacked again and released Taiyin Youying, the ripples that originally erupted from his body seemed to be condensed into some kind of special force field, tending to suppress Tianxing.
Upon seeing this, Xiang Tianxing took the initiative to step forward, allowing the repressive force to permeate his body while quietly comprehending it.
After a while, he finally said, "It's still a little short."
Li Yin nodded: "It is flashy but not substantial, scattered but not condensed. At best, it is just an explosion of Qi, blood, spirit, sword intent, and sword power. It is still far from being a life force field that can directly suppress the opponent's state from the life structure level."
"But, you have understood. If you are also a top-notch star refiner... you have already mastered this secret method."
Xiang Tianxing felt a little emotional.
At this moment, his gaze towards Li Bin finally changed.
If the previous Li Yin, even if he came here with the glory of being the best in the world, in his eyes, he was still a junior who had not yet fully grown up, so he could just receive him casually.
If you are in a bad mood, you can just ask the butler to send him away.
But now...
The look he gave Li Yin was filled with recognition.
They even began to view him as an equal.
"I came here this time to ask you, Lord Xiang, what is your philosophy in studying this secret method?"
Li Pin said.
“The concept…”
When Xiang Tianxing heard Li Pin's question, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
After a while, he did not answer, but turned to Butler Fang and said, "Take the young lady to rest."
"yes."
Butler Fang responded and left with the girl.
But before leaving, the girl couldn't help but say to Li Yin: "Li Yin, after you finish talking to my dad, can I take a photo with you?"
"certainly."
Li Yin nodded.
"Very good."
The girl responded happily, and then left with Butler Fang contentedly.
Xiang Tianxing watched but did not stop him. He gestured to Li Pin to sit down on the chair under the awning, then he began to think.
After a while, he said, "Have you ever considered that the Star Refiner system is developing too fast?"
"quick?"
Li Yin was a little surprised.
"Yes, from the advent of the Star God to now, the Star Refiner system has only been around for less than a hundred years. In a hundred years, it has surpassed all existing systems and allowed humans to complete rapid evolution. From the original strongest martial saints who were still limited to mortal bodies and could be killed by bullets, to now, the legendary strongest are so powerful that they can move mountains and seas, and a legendary star technique is comparable to the explosion of a large-yield nuclear bomb..."
Xiang Tianxing paused when he said this, as he remembered that Li Yin was not a star refiner.
I have no idea how powerful the legends are.
He pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know whether it's right or wrong to tell you my opinion. It may subvert your understanding of the Star Refiner system, but if you want to listen..."
"Please speak to the Lord of the Mansion."
Li Yin clearly expressed his attitude.
Xiang Tianxing nodded: "You are familiar with the term atomic will, right?"
"certainly."
"Have you ever thought about how the atomic will was born?"
“How was born…”
"It's Starlight."
Xiang Tianxing said: "We have always had a guess that starlight contains information! It is this information that gives atoms their will!"
