Chapter 1, Starry Sky

Li Yang, male, twenty-four years old, was specially recruited from the elite team "Dragon Tooth" of the special forces into the National Security Bureau's Group 9 two years ago. He is also the first member ever recruited from the military in the history of Group 9. The primary reason for this recruitment was Li Yang's exceptional knife-throwing skill, which is known for its accuracy.

A girl in a purple dress beside her smiled and said: "Stop dreaming, and focus on working hard. There are indeed many handsome and wealthy men in Shanghai, but it is quite difficult to find one if you are actively looking. However, if you don't seek, you might just encounter your prince charming when you least expect it"

This is a confidential base located approximately fifty meters underground, and the villa is assigned as Li Yang's residence. It is also one of the access routes to the base. Among nearly a thousand villas in this suburban area, ten villas belong to the personnel of 'Security Bureau Group 9' in Shanghai

Upon entering the villa, there was no distinction between it and an ordinary villa. It appeared to be a typical residence of a wealthy family. However, as soon as the young man entered the villa, he headed straight for the bathroom

September 18, 2013, at 22:15 in the suburbs of Shanghai

That was indeed an elevator. As Li Yang fell into it, the elevator began to descend rapidly. For an ordinary person, even if they could mentally endure such a high-speed descent, their body would not be able to withstand it.

As he walked, the young man arrived outside a villa

Ding! With a crisp sound, the elevator doors opened, and Li Yang stepped out of the elevator

"The Star Extreme Three Realms" is an ancient manual left behind by the protagonist's father, whom he has never met. This manual does not contain any secrets of internal martial arts cultivation; instead, it focuses solely on the magical flying knife technique. The flying knife technique is merely foundational. The true significance of "The Star Extreme Three Realms" lies in the cultivation of one's mental state. When the flying knife technique is fully mastered and perfected, and the mental state is cultivated accordingly, one will naturally reach one of the realms within.

A flash of the blade passed by, and the man stood frozen. Slowly, he reached down to touch himself, and suddenly wailed, "Ah, Li Yang, you bastard, you really went through with it! Just a little more, just a little more, and my entire beautiful life would have been ruined by you! You are truly excessive, truly excessive..."

Shanghai at night remains captivating, much like a beautiful woman shrouded in mist, enticing you to draw closer and unveil her mysterious veil. However, this is in the suburbs, which are significantly more tranquil than the city center

A white figure glided gracefully along the sidewalk; it was a young man, around twenty years old, with a relatively handsome and scholarly appearance. However, his long hair, casually cascading over his shoulders, seemed somewhat unconventional and carried a hint of nonchalance, yet it possessed an inexplicable allure for girls. Nevertheless, what was most captivating were his eyes—bright eyes that shone like stars.

A beautiful girl wearing a red tank top stared blankly at the young man walking past her, unable to help but be captivated by his demeanor

Iris, identity, compatibility! Welcome, Lieutenant Li Yang! The electronic voice sounded. The bathtub immediately rose nearly two meters, revealing a passage beneath it.

The first level of the "Star Extreme Three Realms" is precisely the "Realm of Joyful Spirits". The young man has now reached this level! At the end of this manual is the name of the author—Li Xunhuan

The young man glanced at the girl, a hint of a wry smile escaping his lips: "It seems that entering the first layer of the 'Star Extreme Three Realms'—the 'Realm of Joyful Spirits'—is not such a wonderful thing after all! However..." Suddenly, a smile appeared on the young man's face, and he extended his right hand, which had been resting in his pocket. It was an alluring hand, and in the darkness, it inadvertently radiated a faint, strange glow. A cold glint of a blade flashed between his fingers.

This is an extremely common villa; in this tranquil suburb, there are at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, such villas. The young man casually took out a set of keys, unlocked the door, and entered directly.

However, they also know that such matters are merely their fantasies. Nevertheless, countless girls strive to adorn themselves in hopes of one day becoming that 'Cinderella' from the fairy tale.

This base is precisely the 'Security Bureau Group 9' Shanghai Base - Xingluo

This young man is Li Yang

In a place like Shanghai, there are quite a few people who own villas; however, such a luxurious villa costs at least several million to nearly ten million. Owning such a villa signifies either great wealth or high social status, and this villa also represents, from one perspective, the identity and status of the youth.

"Snow, wait for me!" Li Yang murmured, then suddenly shook his head vigorously, his face once again breaking into a radiant smile as he walked into the training area

Li Yang, you rascal, you've come! I just checked, and my energy has now reached between 200 and 300 crystals, haha... Li Yang, are you jealous!" About fifty meters away, a man was laughing heartily at Li Yang.

Upon entering the restroom, the young man casually took out a card and inserted it into a hidden slot behind the restroom mirror. The slot suddenly illuminated, and a beam of red light shot out, prompting the young man to go to m.hetushu.com, allowing the red light to shine into his eyes

Li Yang, however, was unconcerned. With a slight smile, he said: "Look at you, still so arrogant. Although my energy is only around 80 crystals, as long as I have my flying knife in hand, dealing with you is not a problem at all. Alright, I won't chat with you any longer; I am going to train!"

At that moment, several girls walking past the villa noticed a handsome young man. One girl in a pink outfit couldn't help but brighten her eyes and said, "Ah, so handsome! This villa seems to be worth nearly ten million! I've made up my mind; I must find a boy like this in the future"

The wooden figure of Black Rock is still in the training area, and Sister Yan, the leader, is also at the base, but she is in the testing area. The five brothers of the Tan family are also testing their energy. Well, I have already completed six hours of training today, so I will take my leave now. Haha... A wonderful nightlife awaits me, heh heh, why am I even telling you this hypocrite, hmph..." Tian Lin hummed as he left... A wonderful nightlife awaits me, heh heh, why am I even telling you this hypocrite, hmph..." Tian Lin hummed as he left.

Li Yang looked at the passage before him and smiled helplessly, saying, "Why choose such a poor location? Why must it be in the bathroom? I wonder which 'smart' fellow made this decision." With that, he stretched his body and seemed to float up like a feather, landing in the passage beneath the bathtub

However, Li Yang remained unfazed, still wearing that calm demeanor, with a faint smile lingering at the corner of his mouth

Upon entering this underground base, the average person is immediately captivated by the ceiling decorations above. It appears that the training room of the base is entirely adorned with a starry sky, a stunning illusion created by advanced technology. This evokes a marvelous sensation of being in outer space

Whoosh

Li Yang smiled wryly and shook his head, took out his phone, and glanced at the colorful wallpaper on the screen, which featured a beautiful girl. Li Yang smiled, but a hint of melancholy flashed in his eyes, quickly disappearing. He walked into his private changing room, changed into his training outfit, gently kissed his phone, and placed it in the cabinet.

Tian Lin also smiled, expressing admiration for Li Yang. The brothers and sisters of "Group 9 of the Security Bureau" in the entire Shanghai base hold him in high regard, as Li Yang is the only one selected from the special forces, while Tian Lin and the others were specially trained from a young age.

The bright, twinkling stars hanging in every corner of the virtual 'starry sky' above enhance the sense of realism

The youth only knows that there was a martial arts master in ancient times named Li Xunhuan, yet he is unaware that Li Xunhuan possessed extraordinary talent and, in an unprecedented manner, achieved mastery of the flying knife in just over one hundred years, shattering the void and ascending to the heavens! ... This "Three Realms of the Star Extreme" is precisely the fundamental cultivation secret of Li Xunhuan from back in the day
