In the dark, frigid expanse of outer space, cyan radiance permeated everything, suffused with an unfathomable, awe-inspiring power.
"Something's not right."
Bailey tilted her rabbit head to the side.
Within the intelligent core's senses, her master Andrew Han was still growing stronger, seemingly without end.
"This doesn't make sense." Bailey looked even more puzzled. "Master's physical power cultivation... Mm, his martial realm is already at Third‑Order Constant Light peak, so why is it still increasing?"
In truth, Andrew Han himself was also puzzled.
Yet the body is always honest. As energy surged madly, cyan Light Origin rippled and began to undergo unexpected changes.
It seemed as if something was brewing.
Only awaiting the final moment to erupt in power.
"It's a Power Trait!"
Andrew Han's face showed astonishment as he sensed two traits within the cyan Light Origin—likely the Blazing Trait and the Heavy Trait.
So-called traits are the hallmarks of power quality.
"Bailey explained all this before," Andrew Han recalled silently. "The genius standard for the body-power cultivation system is precisely traits. The more traits, and the higher their grade, the stronger one's aptitude and power."
According to rumors from the Chenriver Empire...
Three centuries ago, a Starlight-tier lifeform relied on Power Traits to beat a formidable Stellar Palace-tier opponent to death.
However...
Power Traits also come in varying grades. Andrew Han's Blazing Trait and Heavy Trait seemed only ordinary, at best allowing him to contend evenly with a Fourth‑Order Cosmic Light opponent.
Yet...
Andrew Han sensed a third trait—and saw hope of slaying a Fourth‑Order Cosmic Light foe even in adversity.
"Mm."
He pondered silently, "My Light Origin core is condensing a wondrous new trait. I can't quite identify it, yet I clearly sense that it resembles a blade's edge."
The higher the grade of a trait, the rarer and more formidable it is.
A Power Trait is not the same as a power level, but rather an area of exceptional concentration and fusion... For example, the unique aspect of Super‑Solid Inner Origin is its mountain-like heaviness, which gives rise to the Heavy Trait.
As for the Blazing Trait—
Perhaps it comes from emotion and conviction, or maybe from the experience of magma-state internal power.
"What is this third trait?"
"And according to Bailey, Stellar Palace-tier lifeforms can fuse multiple traits, turning ordinary ones into better and stronger traits... So, what is the full classification system for traits? There should be a detailed list, right?"
Questions arose one after another in his heart.
He would have to ask about all these profound and complex issues later.
But at this moment, Andrew Han simply immersed himself in the sensation of brand-new martial power, forgetting the passage of time—and the pitiful Bailey beside him.
It was completely different from what he had imagined.
Having pioneered a new martial art and ascended to the Starlight Tier beyond the martial realm, Andrew Han was not excited; his heart was like a quiet mirror lake, disturbed only by the faintest ripple.
...
Azure Earth continued its orbit as always.
The dark starry sky surrounded it, yet could not obscure Earth's beauty. Artificial satellites recorded the planet's rotation, while also capturing the brilliant cyan radiance in the dead silence of outer space.
This event alarmed nations across the globe!
In Sinovera's Imperial Capital, at a government office, inside a spacious conference hall—
On both sides of the conference table sat anxious government officials, all their eyes fixed on the extraordinary satellite images.
"How could there be starlight so close to Earth?"
"Truly incredible."
"The cyan radiance remains stationary, but as Earth moves farther away, its brightness only increases. That's why our Red Flag-8 Satellite can keep recording... These images are absolutely accurate. Report this immediately to the Martial Arts World."
The government officials were moved and speechless.
This incident was classified as a Blue-Star Top-Secret Event, accessible only to national leaders.
The Martial Arts World and the Gifted World, upon learning of the news, were thrown into a frenzy... Most had already guessed the truth behind the Blue-Star Top-Secret Event, especially those in the Law Realm and Titled Sequence.
...
Americonia, southern region.
In a vast, highly developed international city, the bustling traffic and lively crowds, along with towering buildings, embodied the revival of the economic society.
At the city center—
A standalone villa covering thousands of square meters.
Arthur Rook and numerous Gifted Law Realm experts had gathered for the first time, faces stunned as they stared at the vast images on the giant LCD screen.
Gifted powers could not manifest.
The distance was simply too great.
"That cyan radiance is definitely Andrew Han." A red-haired, red-eyed Gifted Law Realm expert, wearing a strange earring and with a lean, somber face, spoke in a deep voice.
He was adamant, unwavering in his conviction.
No matter how high-ranking government officials were, they were still ordinary people—how could they comprehend the concept of Andrew Han's current, world-shaking invincibility?
The red-haired Law Realm expert sighed, instinctively tugging at his earring twice, then grinned wryly. "Sinovera's martial arts can actually become this strong? Stretching across the starry sky, radiating light, and even shining as brightly as a small planet?"
Planets themselves do not emit light, but due to their immense size, they refract a tremendous amount of radiance.
Therefore—
When people gaze up at the night sky, the scattered stars they see include planets among them.
"It's truly terrifying—unimaginable."
Arthur Rook let out a wistful sigh.
He could hardly believe it.
Even if a Law Realm Supreme unleashed their full power, they would be only a tiny speck in the dead silence of outer space—satellites wouldn't be able to detect them at all.
This indirectly proved Andrew Han's martial power was unmatched—unprecedented and peerless.
"It seems our Gifted powers can't compare to Sinovera's martial arts."
"Mm, let's not discuss this for now... Who knows when Andrew Han will return? We can only cultivate inside satellites, while he can train in outer space. He clearly isn't worried about getting lost."
The Gifted Law Realm experts voiced their admiration, clicking their tongues in praise.
To the side—
Arthur Rook sat speechless at the edge of the sofa, his aged hand brushing the velvet surface, gazing at the worshipful faces of the Gifted Law Realm experts. His feelings were deeply complicated.
The Law Realm is united, all of one mind—but everyone harbors a sense of comparison!
Martial arts and Gifted powers stand side by side, the only two incredible forces in the world today.

"Before Andrew Han emerged, martial arts and Gifted powers were equal in status," Arthur Rook thought, shaking his head, unsure how to feel. "But thanks to Andrew alone, martial arts have nearly surpassed Gifted powers."
There was regret, amazement, and also a sense of unwillingness.
Arthur Rook wished deeply that Andrew Han were a Gifted expert rather than a martial artist... Yet he did not know that the path for Gifted powers to evolve to a higher level had been cut off from the very beginning.
...
Meanwhile—
The Martial Arts Elders' Council Hall in Sinovera was already in an uproar.
Every member of the Titled Sequence, as well as martial artists aspiring to reach it, had gathered in the Elders' Council Hall, faces flushed with excitement as they vied to discuss the news.
"Is it true or not?"
