Gao Wu: Others practice martial arts, but you cultivate immortality?

Chu Yuan gained a lot from his long talk with Shen Zhengqing;

But we can't listen to him completely;

At least in the short term, Chu Yuan does not believe he has the ability to create his own immortal cultivation techniques, and even if he could, the level would be far from sufficient.

Those powerful individuals created their own techniques because they had no other way forward, but I am far from reaching that level myself...

But how do we complete the Golden Elixir Great Dao Song?

By drawing inferences from one instance to another and integrating the essence of various schools, won't you end up with a hodgepodge that's neither fish nor fowl?

Or should we switch directly to a different cultivation method, choosing a lower-level one...?

Yes, Chu Yuan exchanged for the other nine realms' self-created cultivation techniques. Although the converted techniques were much stronger than the Starry Sky Qi Guiding Technique, they were still significantly inferior to the Golden Core Great Dao Song.

Previously, he only thought that there were differences in strength among the nine realms;

After listening to Shen Zhengqing's explanation, he realized that the other cultivation techniques he had exchanged for were not the same as the Martial God Scroll...

Or use the simplest method: to comprehend the laws!

As one reaches deeper and deeper, everything falls into place naturally and logically...

......

"Chu Yuan, you've finally finished your cultivation!" Tian Tian was waiting for Chu Yuan outside his courtyard and greeted him as soon as she saw him return.

Chu Yuan nodded: "What's wrong?"

Tian Tian smiled, two dimples appearing on her face: "Nothing much, just came to tell you about things at school..."

I'll treat you to dinner.

"Let's go..."

Although the number of students at the Divine Capital Martial Academy is not large, the area is quite extensive.

As they walked outwards, Chu Yuan discovered that they had "encountered" many people.

I know some of them, but I don't know most of them.

At first, Chu Yuan thought he was after Tian Tian, ​​but later he realized something was wrong.

Most of those people looked at me with scrutinizing and wary expressions...

Even though I've never appeared at school, are there still legends about me circulating there?

I also ran into an acquaintance...

"Brother Long, I reckon you'll break through to the Divine Power Realm next semester, right?"

"Exactly! By then, I doubt many of the older students will be a match for you!"

Pang Long remained noncommittal, but said regretfully, "Unfortunately, we're out of Heavenly Purification Pills..."

There is a limit to the number of Heavenly Purification Pills that can be exchanged in the Outer Heaven Battlefield;

Upon returning, Pang Long was surprised to discover that those who had been eliminated in the training camp were also eligible to exchange for the Heavenly Purification Pill!

However, they didn't use military merits, but rather academy points... The danger wasn't great, but the difficulty was considerable, but it was still a path;

So Pang Long spent a lot of money to buy some in order to maintain his rapid advancement in cultivation level...

But he wasn't the only one who did this, and once this batch of Heavenly Purification Pills was used up, there really wouldn't be any left.

How could a treasure capable of eliminating impurities from martial arts pills be sold to them so cheaply? It was originally a benefit for members of Project Jianmu!

We want more, but it's not that we can't afford it, it's that we simply can't buy it... Da Qin only ordered this one batch.

"Even without the Heavenly Purification Pill, your strength is enough to make you invincible among your peers!"

Those third- and fourth-year students, even if they've cultivated for two years longer than you, have they ever participated in the Jianmu Project? Have they ever fought and trained in the outer battlefields?

Pang Long's lips curled up slightly; though he didn't speak, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face...

"..." Chu Yuan was a little speechless. He wondered if Pang Long had some kind of obsession with the word "invincible".

"Has he had another episode?" Chu Yuan asked Tian Tian, ​​without lowering his voice at all.

From a distance, Pang Long and his companions naturally heard it all.

Pang Long's face darkened, and he turned to leave. Invincible my ass... Chu Yuan was the highest mountain on his path to invincibility...

The person who had previously fawned over him suddenly rolled his eyes and exclaimed loudly, "Senior Chu Yuan! You've finally emerged from seclusion!"

"...When did I become a senior again?"

Tian Tian couldn't help but chuckle: "I happen to know a little about it; Pang Long is practicing a family-inherited martial art."

It emphasizes unwavering determination, requires a "who else but me" spirit, and demands a certain state of mind... roughly, the more domineering you are, the faster you cultivate.

Chu Yuan nodded: "No wonder...you elevated my seniority."

Being relatively invincible is still being invincible, right?

"But people at your level are usually seniors, right..." Tian Tian said uncertainly, "Pang Long is very strong. He is currently ranked in the top 100 of the overall battle rankings!"

She was also the only freshman among the top 100.

"Top 100? So that's 100th? Or 99th? It's not that great..."

Tian Tian emphasized, "This is the overall ranking of all martial arts academies in the Great Qin Dynasty, regardless of grade level!"

"What's going on with this ranking battle?" Chu Yuan noticed that he had only walked around for a short while when he found that quite a few people were talking about this thing.

The key point is that this wasn't part of the training curriculum I was familiar with at the martial arts academy.

"It was just implemented this year, and it was mentioned at the freshman orientation ceremony. Oh right, you didn't go..."

It's basically the same as the leaderboard we had at the snow mountain training base, but of course, the benefits are definitely not as good.

Those who rank higher in the ranking battle will have priority access to the school's training grounds;

For example, gravity chambers, enlightenment chambers, energy gathering chambers, etc. The higher the ranking, the longer the time it can be used.

In addition, there are fixed martial arts resources distributed every month;

"And... well, priority is given to selecting tasks." Tian Tian explained, "This also affects schools. The more students a school has on the overall ranking list, the more resources it can enjoy! So the school encourages us to participate..."

"How can we compete with so many people?"

"It's definitely not a competition between martial artists, otherwise, with so many martial arts academies across the country, how would they all come here..."

It's a level-based game where you fight combat puppets, and if you win, you advance to the next level.

If they fail at the same number of levels, then the one who inflicts more damage on the puppet and lasts longer will be judged based on a set of scoring criteria.

Only those who make it into the top ten are eligible for a real-person challenge. Tian Tian smiled at Chu Yuan, "Would you like to give it a try too?"

"Not interested." Chu Yuan replied somewhat uninterested.

There's really nothing about him that appeals to him...

He has no need for the training grounds in the school, and he has no shortage of martial arts resources.

He would rather spend that time cultivating a little longer; what if he figured out the sequel to the Golden Core Dao Song?

Tian Tian blinked: "It is said that the Great Qin is going to form a tenth legion!"

Everyone in the ranking battle is a reserve officer, and the top player might even become a legion commander!

Chu Yuan's heart fluttered for a moment, but only for a moment;

"Tch~ Others become legion commanders because they are strong, not the other way around..."

"Anyway, back in the outer battlefield, when our squad finished a mission and handed in the resources, we would keep a portion for ourselves... The legion commander probably controls even more resources, right?"

Chu Yuan thought to himself, "You're slandering the glorious image of the Ninth Legion!"

But considering the behavior of the Clock Tower Squad and Zhu Long, it was impossible to go against one's conscience and refute Tian Tian's words...

"Furthermore, if you retain first place for a year, you'll be rewarded with a bottle of Myriad Magic Source Liquid!"

Chu Yuan was filled with awe: "What kind of thing is this? How dare it give itself such a high-class name?"

This art style...something's not right...

"It can help martial artists greatly increase their comprehension! To more clearly comprehend the laws! It's known as... the ticket to the seventh realm!" There was a hint of longing in Tian Tian's tone, but she also understood that this level of treasure had nothing to do with her.

"So, you're still not going to participate?"

Chu Yuan licked his lips: "But then again..."
