Chapter 1026: Chapter 1013: You will become mine… Chapter 1026: Chapter 1013: You will become mine… “Elder brother, have you truly become a Martial Supreme?”

When Muria returned to his residence, his half-sister with long indigo hair rushed excitedly to him, her face flushed with enthusiasm, looking extraordinarily excited.

“Mhm!” In contrast to the exceedingly thrilled Daisy who had approached him, Muria remained utterly calm, without any emotional fluctuation.

“Daisy, didn’t you just see it all on the live broadcast? Now your brother is the esteemed Martial Venerable; it’s the talk of the Network everywhere.”

Behind the girl, Robert ingratiatingly sidled up, oozing sycophancy, “Teacher Jelos, this time you’ve become famous in a single battle, and now you’re the hottest sensation on the web, with many people speaking of you in the same breath as Ayn Martial Venerable.”

“Tsk, our master is a full ten years younger than Ayn Martial Venerable. How could anyone even compare Ayn with our master? They’re simply not on the same level.” Victor, who had been disciplined by Muria and was now much more subdued, came over to flatter.

“He is the guide on my Martial Arts Road,” said Muria, looking at Victor with an expressionless face.

“Uh…” Victor’s face stiffened slightly; he knew that this time he had barked up the wrong tree with his flattery.

“Haha…” Seeing Victor’s awkward state, the others who had initially followed to flatter Muria suddenly laughed aloud.

While laughing, they also took to heart what Muria had said; Ayn Martial Venerable was his guide? That meant the two Martial Supremes were in a master-disciple relationship?

This appeared to be yet another explosively hot piece of news since no one had revealed this information before.

Once back inside his quarters, Muria dealt with the students who had come to congratulate him and the various visitors, and finally, it quieted down.

Because after becoming a Martial Supreme, his Identity had entirely changed; he was no longer someone anyone could see whenever they desired.

“With the emergence of two Martial Supremes in a row, it’s time to enter the Martial Arts Revival Period,” Muria contemplated.

Within the entire Zijing Federation, only a handful could become Star Armor Masters; the vast majority of people lived the same as ordinary folks, and a large number among these ordinary people wanted to grasp Extraordinary Powers.

However, Star talent is innate, and as of now, there is no known way to enhance it through acquired means; hence, these people could only remain ordinary.

But were they content with that? Of course not. However, the consecutive emergence of two Martial Supremes was undeniably shining a bright path for them, as the ages of these two Martial Supremes would give many the illusion that practicing martial arts was very simple.

Therefore, Muria could foresee that in the coming times, the number of people in the Zijing Federation wanting to become Martial Artists would surge dramatically, yet, inevitably, very few would achieve any significant success.

…

Covering the sky, the night fell, and in the surrounding tranquility, Muria, who had been meditating in his room, opened his eyes, hearing the faint footsteps that were gradually approaching his room.

Boom, boom, boom!

The light and somewhat hesitant knocking sounded, “Elder brother, are you asleep?”

“Daisy, what’s the matter?” Muria opened his eyes and asked with a subtly different tone.

“I have something I’d like to talk to you about, may I come in?” asked the girl outside Muria’s door, somewhat tentatively and nervous.

“Come in, the door isn’t locked.”

Click!

The door to Muria’s room opened, and then a girl in a pink nightgown cautiously walked in.

“What did you want to talk about?”

“Elder brother, I also want to learn martial arts!” Daisy hesitated a bit before plucking up the courage to express her wishes, her desire to become stronger.

“Hmm? What did you say?” Muria lifted his head, looking at the fidgety girl who had come to him in the middle of the night. A hint of astonishment appeared on his face.

“Is that not okay?” Seeing the look of surprise on Muria’s face, the girl became even more embarrassed. She lowered her head and fiddled with the corner of her nightgown, looking like nothing more than an innocent little girl.

“How should I put it, it’s not that it’s impossible,” Muria rubbed his brow as he watched his sister, who in front of him was acting like a little girl who had never seen the world,
“But starting to learn martial arts at your age, you’re unlikely to achieve much. Starting to train now is purely a waste of time, as your body is essentially fully developed, and your physical foundation is set.”

“Oh, elder brother, since that’s the case, I apologize for the disturbance,” upon hearing Muria’s words, the girl couldn’t help showing a look of disappointment. Then, having received the answer, she bowed slightly to Muria and prepared to turn and leave.

“Hold on, I haven’t finished speaking. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?” Muria called out to the girl, whose hand was already on the door, ready to go.

“Is there anything else, Brother?” The girl couldn’t help but show a look of anticipation on her face. She knew her brother was a very magical person, capable of things ordinary people could not do.

“What I just told you is what would normally happen if you, at your age, chose to start practicing martial arts without me. You would definitely not be able to achieve much.”

As Muria stroked his chin, he sized up his sister, whose expression seemed somewhat uneasy. “However, because of my presence, you now have another choice, don’t you?”

“What choice?”

“To embark on the Martial Arts Road with the aid of my power!” Muria looked at the girl, and behind him emerged a radiant and resplendent starry sky, revealing his Dharma Appearance.

“Brother, what is this…” The girl looked at her brother, slightly confused.

Muria did not speak but extended his palm. Under the girl’s gaze, positioned above Muria’s head and as if eternally present in the cosmos, a white star transformed into a meteor and fell into the center of his palm.

“This is the choice I’ve prepared for you!” Muria, holding the white star in his hand, showed it to Daisy.

“What is this?”

“This is part of my Dharma Appearance Crystal. With it, you can step onto the Martial Arts Road, and before you become a Martial Supreme, you will face no boundary barriers. As long as you’re willing to continue cultivating, you’ll be able to keep breaking through.”

“Brother, do you mean to say that if I merge with this star, then I can freely cultivate without worrying about anything else, and the only limit is that I must not surpass your strength, right?” The girl blinked, then inquired.

“That’s right, but that’s not the only limitation,” Muria nodded, then continued to explain to his sister the consequences of merging with the white star,
“Once you merge with my Dharma Appearance Crystal, I can freely extract and manipulate the Qi you cultivate. I could even instantly strip away all your martial arts cultivation.”

“Is that it?” The girl asked after hearing about the price Muria stated.

“Just that. Do you think it’s not enough?” Muria countered, as merging with his Martial Dao Crystal was akin to becoming his minion, forever lacking the strength to resist and obliged to submit meekly.

Of course, as a Star Armor Master, even if Daisy suddenly lost all her martial arts cultivation, she wouldn’t lose all her combat abilities.

“For me, only the limitation on cultivation needs to be considered. The other restrictions are of no consequence to me because I will never become your enemy, Brother. And surely you wouldn’t suddenly strip away all my cultivation!”

“Of course not.”

“Moreover, in terms of cultivation progress, I never need to worry either. Even if I don’t have any bottlenecks, your cultivation will surely remain far above mine, so I have nothing to worry about.”

“So, you’ve decided to merge with my Dharma Appearance Crystal?”

“If there are no other restrictions, then my answer is, of course.”

“This is your own choice; I hope that one day you won’t regret it.”

Muria raised the white star in his hand and gently pushed it towards Daisy. The white star immediately transformed into a streak of light and directly entered Daisy’s abdomen.

“I won’t have any regrets,” the girl replied resolutely, watching the star merge into her body. Then, she felt as if a small sun had emerged in her abdomen, emitting a continuous, warm presence.

But as time passed, Daisy felt the warmth from the small sun in her abdomen escalating into an intense, searing heat, causing her some distress.

Yet this level of distress was still within her tolerance. The beautiful girl merely furrowed her brows slightly and kept silent.

“This is a Martial Dao Crystal I’ve cultivated. Merging with it will be an adaptation process, one that won’t be too easy, but also not overly painful,” Muria said, looking at his sister’s pale skin turning a bit red, as he reminded her.

“Hmm!”

“If you can’t endure it, just say so. Of course, I expect this kind of pain is tolerable for you, so it shouldn’t be much of a problem.”

“I can endure.” The girl felt the small sun in her abdomen had become intensely hot to the point of near scalding, and that was not the end of it.

She could also feel hot Qi emanating from this sun, originating from her abdomen and beginning to circulate and spread throughout her body. It seemed to be the adaptation process her brother had mentioned.

“What are you feeling now?” Muria asked curiously, this being his first time doing such a thing. He wasn’t sure about the specifics of the process, having only read about similar instances in martial arts books.

“My stomach feels bloated and my body feels swollen, as if it’s going to burst open,” Daisy described her current sensations to Muria.
