Just as Ling Feng imagined, when other martial arts students disappeared, all the Catfish Demons rushed towards him, as if he were experiencing a Catfish Demon storm.

Even with a combat power of 67.1, successfully unlocking the Power of the Surface, facing that endless sea of Catfish Demons, he quickly lost resistance and vanished from the advanced assessment plane, though he smoothly took first place.

Originally he wanted to jump into the game plane and relax, but there was a time limit; he needed to leave the Star Realm for 24 hours before he could enter again.

So, he woke up from the sleep pod and walked out of the sleep room to stretch his muscles.

He had been lying down for about two days and nights. Despite his body functions being nourished by the sleep pod and all-weather breathing and exhaling ability, with no issue in physical strength and spirit, Ling Feng habitually stretched his muscles.

"Ling Feng."

A voice called out.

"Teacher Yan."

Ling Feng was startled; Yan Fei unexpectedly appeared before him, not knowing from where.

"You have good talent; your final exam results are also among the top. The Seven Great Star Systems Alliance entrusted me to open a Dharma Hall for you to help lay the foundation of Dharma Power. Haven't you received the related information prompts these days?"

Yan Fei inquired.

"Oh, I saw it but forgot."

Ling Feng scratched his head.

"No worries, now come with me to the Cultivation Room. I'll teach you how to consolidate the Dharma Aspect and awaken it."

Yan Fei grasped Ling Feng's wrist kindly.

The Dharma Hall can be established in the Star Realm or in reality.

"Alright, I'll go with you."

Ling Feng realized that today he absolutely had to go with Yan Fei.

After a while, Ling Feng followed Yan Fei to a cultivation room specifically set up for cultivating the Dharma Aspect, where he encountered two acquaintances.

It was Ye Chen and Chen Duling.

Both had combat power exceeding 40.0. They were Dharma Realm martial artists who hadn't yet unlocked the Skin Phase. Since they made breakthroughs, they also quickly received attention from the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance.

They obtained the opportunity to enter the Dharma Hall together for cultivation.

However, compared to Ling Feng, the two proactively ran here to wait for Yan Fei after receiving the notification.

Upon seeing Ling Feng again, recalling all they had experienced in the advanced assessment plane, neither Chen Duling nor Ye Chen gave Ling Feng a good face.

In their hearts, they planned that once they successfully unlocked the Dharma Aspect, by any means, they would find a way to give Ling Feng a good beating.

"The eight layers of Dharma Aspect power — skin, flesh, muscles, organs, qi, and spirit — are powers that all Dharma Realm martial artists strive to awaken throughout their lives."

"The Skin Phase is awakening power from the skin, allowing the surface to evolve. Not only can it resist the Catfish Demon toxin, but it is also impervious to ordinary weapons, while speed and reaction capability will also be enhanced by this layer of Dharma Aspect. Awakening the Skin Phase is akin to awakening the most suitable armor."

"When the surface skin accumulates enough power, and the strength continues to rise and evolve, this power can stimulate the flesh, allowing people to awaken power from the flesh, which is the second layer of the Dharma Aspect, the Flesh Phase!"

"The difference between the Flesh Phase and Skin Phase is that the power penetrates from the skin surface into the flesh, making the flesh have explosive power like beasts. Physical fitness will surpass 20.0. Even if Catfish Demon toxin enters the body, it can be resisted with Dharma Power.

The reason Alien Demon Beasts are strong is due to the natural advantages of their meat bodies. Humans wishing to confront them must awaken the Dharma Aspect to achieve meat body evolution, awakening more power from the body is one of the most effective methods."

This is why, when alien creatures invade human territories, it's often necessary for Dharma Realm experts to step in to quell the turmoil."

"Thus, awakening the Dharma Aspect is crucial in cultivation. The higher the Dharma Aspect, the stronger the power, defense, and speed, as well as immunity, even life force, will all rise with the tide.

Some Dirt Realm or Vitality Realm experts, even with shattered viscera, can repair through the Dharma Aspect. Every strand of Dharma power within them is countless times more precious than the common potions on the market.

Moreover, when Dharma power accumulates to a certain extent, Divine Techniques can be awakened from the body, reaching a realm where the body communicates with the divine."

To make the three realize the importance of the Dharma Aspect, especially Ling Feng, Yan Fei conducted a science popularization and encouragement before instructing them to cultivate the Dharma Aspect.

Upon hearing this, Chen Duling and Ye Chen's eyes sparkled, their hearts eager.

The words "the body communicates with the divine" made them lose resistance.

Even Ling Feng's mind was filled with imagination; coasting along meant not being competitive, not struggling, not working hard, but it didn't mean losing longing and imagination for the future.

"Teacher Yan, I heard my mother say that physical fitness 4.0 is the node for unlocking the Skin Phase. Is it true that once my physical fitness reaches 4.0, I'll automatically unlock the Skin Phase?"

Ye Chen asked.

"Of course not. To unlock the Skin Phase, one must combine the breathing technique and body tempering technique to continuously stimulate the skin until you get a response from it. That response is the Power of the Surface. Once awakened, you can successfully unlock the Skin Phase."

Yan Fei explained.

"Then why did Ling Feng unlock the Skin Phase in combat? Is it possible to awaken the Dharma Aspect purely with talent?"

Chen Duling followed up.

She and Ye Chen were both Dharma Realm martial artists with a combat power exceeding 40.0, both eagerly wishing to awaken the Dharma Aspect.

"Everyone has different opportunities to unlock the Dharma Aspect. Still, relying on the breathing technique and body tempering technique to awaken Dharma power is a safer path. However, when encountering emergencies, life-and-death situations, you might also, like Ling Feng, directly unlock the Dharma Aspect through battle. Such examples are common in the archives of the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance."
