What a lucky world!

Chapter 40: The Secret List Reopens
"do not want!"

Zhang Mu immediately rejected the Tianji List in his mind and immediately deduced the list.

What a joke! In order to retrieve this "Cold Dragon Killing Spring", I ran to a very secluded place. What can I gain from deducing it here? I guess there are not even a hundred people.

However, where to start the deduction is indeed a problem.

Zhang Mu did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he sat on the ground, drew a rough map of Wan'an County on the ground, and began to think.

There are a total of one hundred positions on the list, and the strength is arranged from high to low, that is, the top one hundred within the range of the list deduction are taken.

From the perspective of ranking, every time you defeat an opponent, you can strengthen your innate martial luck. The higher your ranking, the more turtle points you will earn each month. Therefore, the weaker the ranking, the better. On the contrary, if the ranking is too strong, you will easily get stuck.

From a cost perspective, it seems that the weaker the list, the lower the cost of playing once.

So is it the best option to start a list among the weak ones?
Zhang Mu was a little skeptical about this.

The role of the Tianji List, whether it is to strengthen one's innate martial luck, to deduce martial arts, or to calculate opportunities after completing the list, is ultimately to help him become stronger.

If he deliberately seeks out low-level opponents, what if he is found to have a bug?
Zhang Mu did not hesitate to judge his golden finger with the most cautious attitude.

It's just like love.

Incomplete understanding is the same as no understanding at all.

Or, try it first?
After hesitating for a while, Zhang Mu decided to give it a test. After all, for him, quickly brushing the list is the most effective way to improve his strength.

Zhang Mu looked at the simple map of Wan'an County he had drawn on the ground.

He had studied the calculation range of the previous list, which was roughly a five-mile radius centered on where he was.

Fangyuan is not a circle, but a square. Fangyuan five li means a square area that is five li long and five li wide.

Just do it!

Zhang Mu cleaned up the traces of the campfire and left this remote place.

……

Zhang Mu first came to the east city of the outer city.

As I recall, this place was mostly a gathering place for villagers from villages and towns outside the city. They either had too many people in their families or lost their land. In short, they lost their jobs in the countryside and ran to the county town to make a living.

The poverty of life makes it almost impossible for serious warriors to appear here. In comparison, Wuren Lane where Zhang Mu originally lived is the oldest place in the county after all, so the overall strength is stronger.

"Let's do it here." Zhang Mu found a location and tried to open the Tianji List.

But the Tianji List just shook a little and did not respond.

Zhang Mu tried to open the Tianji List again, and then a message emerged in his mind -

[Within the deduction range, the number of warriors above the First-Rank Meridian Opening Realm is less than one hundred, so they cannot be included in the ranking.]

Zhang Mu: Sure enough!
The Tianji Ranking will not let you get stuck with bugs!

It seems that every time the Tianji Ranking is refreshed, one's own cultivation level will be used as the bottom line.

Fortunately, the bottom line should be cultivation, not strength.

After all, there is a big difference between the first rank and the second rank.

Looking back at the previous list, I am an ordinary person, so the lowest level of the list is also ordinary people.

Now I am at the first level of Tongmai Realm, and the people on the list must be at least at the first level!
Got it!
Stealing the chicken failed!

……

After learning about the rules for the Tianji Ranking, Zhang Mu changed the place this time.

Inner city, Changwu Street!

Naturally, Zhang Mu would not be so stupid as to open a list near the escort agency or government office. There must be enough people on the list nearby, but the problem is that they are also strong!

Apart from anything else, the escort agents and several escort leaders in the escort agency are not people he can defeat at the moment.

But Changwu Street is pretty good.

When Instructor Wang advised Zhang Mu to move to the inner city, he recommended Changwu Street.

Because this place used to be the site of the county government office, and was later converted into residence for government officials and constables, due to the rent, some grassroots instructors of martial arts schools and escorts from escort agencies also mostly choose this place. It is considered an area in the inner city with relatively clear strength.

It's better than running into a seventh or eighth-grade master card list.

"This is it!" Zhang Mu confirmed, and then tried to open the Tianji List again.

This time, the Tianji List in his mind did not shake, but shone brightly, and then the scroll slowly unfolded.

At the top is still the map of Wan'an County, and further down are the names.

First place: Xia Shouzhi, fourth-grade Tongmai realm.

Second place: Ning Shuang, third level Tongmai realm. Third place: Gu Hongzhi, third level Tongmai realm.

Fourth place: Qiao Mengan, third-grade Tongmai realm.

Fifth place: Yu Duo, third-grade Tongmai realm.

Sixth place: Qiu Yingdong, third-grade Tongmai realm.

……

No. 98: Cong Ying, first-grade Tongmai realm.

No. 99: Wei Dian, first-grade Tongmai realm.

No. 100: Mai Changyin, first-grade Tongmai realm.

Although he was mentally prepared, Zhang Mu still couldn't help but gasp after seeing this list.

On the list, there is one fourth-grade, thirteen third-grade, thirty-seven second-grade, and the remaining forty-nine first-grade.

It’s hard to beat!
But the list is already open, so we have no choice but to fight hard.

After reading the list, Zhang Mu looked down again.

Very good, the five Turtle Shell points are still there, and the previous recharged river is still full, which makes me feel at ease.

……

After opening the list, Zhang Mu returned to the escort agency.

After being busy outside for a long time, it was almost dark.

After spending a tael of silver, Zhang Mu had a casual dinner in the kitchen and returned to the courtyard where he lived.

It's time to do your homework.

Returning to the room, closing the door and locking the windows, Zhang Mu summoned the Heavenly Secret List again and looked directly at the tortoise shell points.

[Human Meridian Acupoints Diagram (Incomplete): This diagram depicts the meridians and acupoints in the human body. Is it deductive?]

[Broken Star Step: A martial art form, originating from the Taoist martial art of "Stepping on the Divine Powers". Should I deduce it?]

[Three Talents Sword Technique: A low-level martial art that seems to contain simple sword principles. Should I deduce it?]

[Lingshuang Spear Technique (Incomplete): A peerless martial art, but unfortunately only has one move. Do you want to deduce it?]

Zhang Mu's gaze hesitated for a moment between the Sancai sword technique and the Lingshuang spear technique.

Although the lessons of the Three Talents Sword Technique told him that he should practice "Cold Dragon Killing Spring" more, so that it would be more cost-effective to deduce, but Zhang Mu had just discovered that it was really difficult to master the Cold Dragon Killing Spring on his own.

Although this spear technique is just one move, the circulation of internal energy is extremely complicated. If there is a slight mistake, not only will the spear fail to stab out, but it will also cause oneself to fall into a short state of stiffness.

"I can master this move first, and then practice it slowly." Zhang Mu thought, "After all, there are rewards for challenging higher-level opponents."

"As long as we can defeat the second rank, this move will be our trump card. Then we won't have to worry about the turtle shell points."

After thinking it over in his mind, Zhang Mu made up his mind.

He chose Lingshuang's spear technique and began to deduce!
As his Tianji points decreased little by little, his understanding of "Cold Dragon Killing Spring" also increased little by little.

After the five points were used up, Zhang Mu opened his eyes again.

He walked into the courtyard and picked up a long stick.

The internal energy is surging in the body, and a momentum is brewing.

It's like there's a cold dragon growing inside my body.

Suddenly, Zhang Mu seemed to see a petal falling in front of him. Without hesitation, he raised the long stick in his hand and stabbed at the petal.

Suddenly, the internal energy in the body quickly spurted out, wrapping the long stick and emitting a faint light, as if a cold dragon roared and flew out along the long stick in his hand.

"Snapped!"

The long stick did not pierce out completely, but broke into two pieces in the middle, bringing Zhang Mu's attack to an abrupt end.

"Huh..." Zhang Mu let out a long breath and suddenly felt his legs go weak.

Just this one move almost drained all his internal energy.

But, it’s really strong!
Also, what was that light on the long stick just now?

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in Zhang Mu's ears——

"Meow-"

"You can actually use Yuanxi?"
