Chapter 753 The Assistance of the True Gods, Formless Martial Arts (66)

Seeing Yun Zhiguang's actions, Zhang Yu immediately shouted, "Principal! Stop right now! If you keep acting like this, I'm going to call the God of Justice over."

Behind Yun Zhiguang, beams of divine light surged forth, pinning Zhang Yu firmly to the ground. Her beautiful, ancient-style face was icy cold. As she adjusted her movements and coordinates, she sneered, "You can try, but no matter how much you shout, you can't stop me."

As soon as Zhang Yu sent out the message from the spirit world, several righteous gods descended upon the scene, one of whom was Deng Bingding, an old acquaintance of Zhang Yu.

Seeing the situation on the scene, the gods had different expressions, but none of them took any action.

Zhang Yu said urgently, "Gentlemen! Yun Zhiguang has gone mad. She wants to force herself on me. Please stop her immediately."

The gods remained unmoved, while Deng Bingding explained to Zhang Yu, "Her actions are currently legal, and we cannot stop her."

Legal? Zhang Yu was shocked. This is legal?

Deng Bingding continued, “Yun Zhiguang has a forced cultivation certificate and has a quota for forced cultivation every year. Theoretically speaking… as long as she is willing to pay the money and does not harm the other party or take the opportunity to rob the other party’s seed, she can force cultivation on whomever she wants.”

"Hehehehehe."

Amidst a burst of giggles, a projection of Yun Zhiguang's ID card appeared above her head.

Looking at the three large characters "Forced Repair Certificate," even Zhang Yu, who had experienced a great deal in Kunxu, was speechless.

Yun Zhiguang laughed and said, "I have the authority to make the decree first and report later. The Heavenly Court has granted this privilege. Today, whether you like it or not, I am going to have you."

Zhang Yu roared angrily and began to struggle violently.

The "Heavenly Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power" within his body was seen to be operating violently, and the immortal sect's technique "Kunlun in the Palm" was causing a series of spatial distortions.

Seeing this, a righteous god nearby reminded him: "Stop immediately, True Lord Zhuyi! Yun Zhiguang has a forced cultivation certificate, and her forced cultivation of you is a legal and compliant act. But if you resist with force and attack her, that would be considered intentional injury, which is illegal, and we must stop you."

Deng Bingding also warned, "Don't resort to violence. This is a crucial moment for your examination. If you get involved in a lawsuit, all your previous efforts will be in vain."

"Damn it..." Zhang Yu cursed inwardly upon hearing this, "This is outrageous! The sky over Kunxu is truly dark! How can they even have this kind of certificate? Where did they get this certificate? How did they even pass the exam?"

At this moment, Zhang Yu also realized that in the eyes of the gods... it was nothing for him to be forced to study by Yun Zhiguang, and it would not affect his exam. So let him study.

"In fact... from the perspective of the true gods, I already have a sectarian concept, so they shouldn't oppose forced cultivation."

But Zhang Yu was unwilling. This was his bottom line, one of the differences between him and a large number of Kunxu college students and sect masters, and the anchor point for him not being completely assimilated by Kunxu.

Feeling the shapely body pressed against him, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "No, how can I fall down here? No, how can I stand up here?"

Although only a moment had passed between the arrival of the cloud-woven light and his being pinned to the ground, Zhang Yu's mind was constantly racing, searching for a solution to his current predicament.

"I wonder how Kuang Tianqing faced eight Nascent Soul cultivators back then? Should we ask him?"

As Yun Zhiguang watched Zhang Yu struggle, resist, and refuse to cooperate, a strange look flashed in her eyes, and she thought to herself, "There's definitely something fishy going on."

"To resist so much for a mere cultivator, how can someone with such a mindset pass the preliminary test and be accepted into a sect?"

“If he had a true sect mentality and vision, he would never refuse me; he would only cooperate with me.”

"Under these circumstances, the fact that he was still able to pass the preliminary test must be due to the secret assistance of the Heavenly Court."

With this in mind, Yun Zhiguang made up her mind to deal with Zhang Yu thoroughly today.

Meanwhile, Le Mulan, who had been observing from the sidelines, sent a message to Zhang Yu.

In fact, since the end of the re-examination, Le Mulan has often cultivated and studied with Zhang Yu, so when Yun Zhiguang arrived, she was both shocked and watching carefully.

During this careful observation, a question arose in Le Mulan's mind.

"Yun Zhiguang...why is she forcing Zhang Yu to undergo training? What is her purpose?"

Le Mulan vaguely sensed that this problem had a significant impact on the current situation.

When Zhang Yu saw Le Mulan's message notification, a thought flashed through his mind: "That's it, Yun Zhiguang's purpose..."

"From the perspective of the sect's philosophy, I shouldn't be afraid of her forcing her to cultivate."

"Does she know my bottom line? Or does she know that I sealed away my memories of the sect's origin? Or does she believe that I have no sect mentality?"

Zhang Yu eliminated these answers one by one, and the scene of his first meeting with Yun Zhiguang came to mind.

"Extreme Emotional Sword Dao!" Zhang Yu suddenly thought, "I told her that I cultivated the Extreme Emotional Sword Dao! Could it be that she wanted to test me because of this? To break my Extreme Emotional Sword Dao? So that I would suffer a backlash and perform poorly in the interview?"

"We must do the opposite and make her understand that dual cultivation will not only not harm me, but will actually help me..."

At that moment, a flash of understanding crossed Zhang Yu's mind, and he already had a plan in mind.

He thought to himself, "Since that's the case, then I can't back down. On the contrary, I must... charge forward with full force!"

In the next instant, Zhang Yu released the Kao Zong clone, and a fierce burst of spiritual energy emanated from it, making him seem like a completely different person.

"Hmm?" Yun Zhiguang was slightly taken aback, as if she had already sensed the change in Zhang Yu below.

In Yun Zhiguang's eyes, Zhang Yu's seemingly flustered gaze was merely a facade, and the overwhelming lust contained within it even startled her slightly.

"Come on, come on!" At this moment, the Kaozong clone roared in his heart: "Dual cultivation? I have been studying for so many years, spending these years in solitude and depression. How could I not want dual cultivation? I want to climb the peak of immortality, to reach the highest point of the sect. How could I not want to cultivate with a Nascent Soul Divine Lord?"

"Yun Zhiguang! You want to use this opportunity to make me turn against you? Little do you know that I also want to use this opportunity to make you help me cultivate!"

According to Yun Zhiguang's perception, although Zhang Yu was trying his best to suppress his blood and magic power, it was still slowly gathering towards his lower abdomen.

At the same time, she could sense that Zhang Yu's entire body was gathering strength and ready to cultivate, which was hardly the case that he was unwilling to engage in dual cultivation.

"This kid lied to me? If he really cultivated the Extreme Emotion Sword Path, how could he be like this?"

"Or has he already cultivated the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao to the Love Sect realm, enabling him to cultivate with other sects? Was everything before just a pretense? Is he actually eager to cultivate with me and gain benefits?"

Thinking of this, a glint seemed to flash in Yun Zhiguang's eyes.

Especially when she thought of the Love Sect Realm of the Extreme Emotion Sword Path, she knew that this was a new piece of content that the Heavenly Sword Sect had only updated the Extreme Emotion Sword Path a few years ago, and it had not been transmitted to the lower realms at all.

"If Zhang Yu really has this ability, it must be because the Heavenly Court is secretly helping him."

Thinking of this, Yun Zhiguang suddenly stopped what she was doing. Looking at Zhang Yu, who was unwilling, eager, and even wanted to chase after her, she chuckled and retreated.

The gods watching from the sidelines understood the situation immediately.

Deng Bingding thought to himself, "So that's how it is. The True Lord was just playing along, pretending that he was unwilling to engage in dual cultivation, and even called us to help him, trying to lure him into a trap. Unfortunately, Yun Zhiguang saw through it."

Seeing this, Zhang Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had escaped from danger and avoided the tragic fate of being targeted and forced to cultivate by the other party.

So Zhang Yu resealed the Kao Zong clone and took over everything in the body himself.

At the same time, Yu Xinghan rushed in, shouting, "Let go of Zhang Yu! If you have a problem, come at me!"

Since the end of the second round of interviews, not only Le Mulan, but also Yu Xinghan, Bai Zhenzhen, and others have all gathered together with Zhang Yu to look out for each other and prevent any unexpected events from happening before the final interview.

At the same time Yu Xinghan arrived, she also sent a message to Zhang Yu: Don't worry, I've covered for you. Bai Zhenzhen doesn't know what's going on here.

Zhang Yu: Good Brother

Yun Zhiguang glanced at everyone indifferently, but had no intention of using the forced cultivation method again. After all, having confirmed that forced cultivation was ineffective against Zhang Yu, wouldn't doing it again just be giving the other party an advantage for nothing? It would also waste the quota for forced cultivation certificate.

"Since it is indeed a sect's way of thinking, then let's do it the way of the sect."

With a thought, Yun Zhiguang sent out documents to the three people present—three contracts targeting Zhang Yu, Yu Xinghan, and Le Mulan.

As Yu Xinghan's gaze swept over the contract, she was startled to discover that it was an outsourcing contract.

Furthermore, according to the contract, not only will he be provided with 11 job opportunities, but he will also be sponsored to take the selection exam for sect affairs officer, to participate in the exam under the best conditions, until he is admitted, and there will be various rewards upon entering the sect.

In short, it means entering the 11th level, passing the entrance exam for the Myriad Laws Sect, taking up a promotion artifact, and climbing to the peak of the immortal path.

Just as Yun Zhiguang was sending out the contract, the gods nearby also sprang into action. Deng Bingding even spoke up, saying, "Yun Zhiguang, please do not disturb the examinees."

Yun Zhiguang smiled faintly and said, "I'm just offering them an outsourcing contract, a new opportunity. It's not like I'm preventing them from taking the exam. How is that interfering with the candidates?"

After saying that, Yun Zhiguang retreated while saying, "Zhang Yu, Yu Xinghan, and Le Mulan, you are all smart people. You should all understand what the situation is like in this examination."

She said in a tone that carried a warning: "Your interviews this time are probably going to be quite difficult. It's possible that zero people will pass the interview for your position."

"On the contrary, if you stay on the 11th floor, with my help, you will have countless opportunities to participate in the sect examination..."

After saying this, Yun Zhiguang chuckled and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Deng Bingding then said to Zhang Yu, Yu Xinghan, and Le Mulan, "Please rest assured, the Heavenly Court will ensure fairness and impartiality in the upcoming examination interviews. With your abilities, you will definitely pass."

"Yun Zhiguang is just spouting nonsense out of desperation, like a dog grasping at a wall when it's sick. The three of you don't need to take it to heart."

"In fact, these sect disciples have already mobilized their forces to find traces of your cheating and want to expose your dirty secrets at this crucial moment."

Yu Xinghan exclaimed in surprise, "Cheat marks?"

Deng Bingding laughed and said, "Don't worry, you three. You didn't cheat at all, so how could there be any trace of cheating? Yun Zhiguang and the others' efforts are destined to be in vain."

"As for other underhanded tactics, we will protect you three. You just need to focus on preparing for the interview."

Zhang Yu naturally couldn't ignore it. He believed that Yun Zhiguang was right about one thing: the upcoming interview would definitely not be easy.

The conservative faction within the sect will definitely try every means to prevent them from passing the interview.

Although the Heavenly Court would support them from behind, the covert power struggle between the two forces would ultimately affect them.

"We still need to seize the time to continue learning and practicing, and become stronger in order to meet the challenges."

As for the so-called outsourcing contract, Zhang Yu didn't even consider it. At this moment, Yun Zhiguang and the other sect disciples still needed to accommodate them due to the current situation.

Once they reach the upper levels, the sect will no longer have any demands on them, and who knows how they will be treated then.

This is tantamount to handing over one's entire fate and future to the other party, which is something Zhang Yu is unwilling to choose.

He doesn't care about next year; he just wants to be admitted to the sect this year, in this cohort.

So, in the time that followed, Zhang Yu once again devoted himself entirely to studying and cultivating.

In particular, the ten sets of martial arts in "Formless Martial Arts" are martial arts that Zhang Yu practices every day.

It wasn't just because Zhang Yu sensed the profoundness of these ten martial arts techniques, but also because of Deng Bingding's reminder.

"Lord Zhuyi, the questions in the re-examination often contain profound meanings and are closely related to the job position you are applying for. They are worth spending more time studying."

Zhang Yu sensed that Deng Bingding's words were a hint, so he simply switched to a different set of Yu Shu's specialized martial arts every day, intending to push all ten sets of "Wu Xiang Yan Wu" martial arts to the peak level of Nascent Soul 40 before the interview began.

Fortunately, he is now at the 12th level of the Nascent Soul Saint Body, and has 16 demonic clones to help him. His martial arts training speed is unprecedented, and he can push a martial art directly to level 40 almost every day.

If it weren't for the fact that Yu Shu needed a day to switch specializations, his cultivation speed would be much faster.

While Zhang Yu was cultivating every day, he could also sense the undercurrents around him. Many forces and information were trying to approach him and influence him, but they were all blocked by the righteous gods.

Regardless of how fiercely the two sides were fighting in secret outside, Zhang Yu paid almost no attention to anything outside and devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation.

Six days passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhang Yu had already advanced "Formless Martial Arts" to the sixth level, cultivating the six techniques in this chain diagram to the maximum level of 40 in the Nascent Soul realm.

Beginner - Formless Martial Arts (6/6): Simulates martial arts, with power not exceeding 50% of the original version.

When Zhang Yu first saw the effect, he felt it was ordinary, and even felt it was not as good as the Three-Eyed Divine Power.

After all, the Three-Eyed Divine Power can be learned simply by seeing others use it, and there is no limit to its power.

Through Zhang Yu's experimentation, he discovered that the Wuxiang Martial Arts simulation required prior knowledge of the opponent's martial arts prowess before it could be performed.

"It doesn't seem to work very well."

But as Zhang Yu tried it out, and as the martial arts techniques—Wu Yi, Wu Er, Wu San, and so on—operated naturally, he discovered the wonders of Wuxiang Martial Arts.

"The Formless Martial Arts Training uses ten sets of techniques within the set to simulate all kinds of martial arts in the world."

Zhang Yu's body surged with qi, and palm shadows, carrying earth-shattering force, shot into the sky, only to be quietly withdrawn by him.

"This simulation can actually directly lead to the refinement of level 40 martial arts?"

At this moment, Zhang Yu was simulating the Great Wilderness Mountain-Moving Force, one of the Seven Wonders of Earth and Wood.

However, he did not practice this martial art. Instead, he simulated it using the Wuxiang Martial Arts, which directly brought out the exquisite power of the Great Wilderness Mountain Moving Force at levels 10, 20, 30, and even 40.

"Its power is no more than 50% of the original..."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "The numbers aren't enough, but the mechanics have been perfectly simulated."

At this moment, Zhang Yu also deeply understood the difference between the Three-Eyed Divine Power and the Formless Martial Arts.

"The Three-Eyed Divine Power can be learned with just one glance, but it still requires starting from level 1 and cultivating step by step, progressing level by level."

"As for the Formless Martial Arts, after understanding the details of a martial art, one can immediately simulate and execute the exquisite techniques of a level 40 martial art in one go."

Zhang Yu understood that the reason he was at level 40 was because his 10 sets of martial arts techniques in the Formless Martial Arts were only at level 40.

If he pushes all the martial arts techniques from level 1 to 10 to level 50, he can directly simulate the exquisite nature of level 50 techniques. Similarly, by pushing all ten techniques to level 60, he can simulate the exquisite nature of level 60 techniques in one go…

Of course, this is on the premise that the simulated martial arts must have content corresponding to levels 50 and 60.

And the so-called process of understanding the details...

"This is also the only drawback, which is that you need to consult the manual."

"With the assistance of the Formless Martial Arts, I can simulate the effects of a high-level martial art as long as I read through the manual once."

"but……"

Zhang Yu thought of the Three-Eyed Divine Power: "If I use the Three-Eyed Divine Power for observation, and then combine it with the Formless Martial Arts for simulation... could I simulate and promote someone's martial arts by observing their internal energy circulation process without reading the manual?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu felt a surge of excitement.

But the next moment he sighed: "Alas, firstly, I don't have the copyright to the other party's martial arts."

"Secondly... I only have the copyright to the examination rooms for Martial Arts 1 to Martial Arts 10, and it can only be used in the examination room."

"I cannot use this method openly and honestly."

But then Zhang Yu's eyes flickered again: "But, as long as I get into the Imperial Law Pavilion, I should be able to use it, right?"

After studying the Wuxiang Martial Arts technique for the past few days, Zhang Yu has also begun to have some guesses about it.

He wondered to himself, "These ten sets of techniques are all-encompassing and contain the principles of various martial arts in the world. It is precisely because of this that they can be used to simulate all martial arts in the world."

"Perhaps the Imperial Law Pavilion uses this method to simulate cultivation techniques and then approve their permissions."

With this in mind, Zhang Yu continued to seize the time to practice his martial arts, looking forward to what the next two effects of the Formless Martial Arts would be.

...

Just as Zhang Yu was making continuous progress every day, various investigations targeting him were quietly unfolding on floors 1 to 5, like a large net being cast across the entire world.

The first to be affected was Lu Xuanzhi, who was the examiner.

Looking at the disciples of the sect in front of him, Lu Xuanzhi said firmly, "Zhang Yu absolutely did not cheat in the examination room, I can guarantee that."

Whether Lu Xuanzhi was willing or not, as an examiner, he was now tied to Zhang Yu.

No matter how the sect disciples questioned or investigated, he firmly stated that Zhang Yu had not cheated in the examination.

At the same time, many people associated with Zhang Yu were also implicated.

"Dirty secrets about Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen?"

"I told you, are you sure you're only giving me that many spirit coins?"

Zhou Chechen looked at the stranger in front of him: "This is a crucial moment for them to take the sect exam. You want their dirt on them, are you trying to affect their exam?"

Upon hearing that the other party had raised the price again, Zhou Chechen quickly said, "They bullied classmates in high school. Oh, and Bai Zhenzhen even stole electricity!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhiguang's eyes flickered: "Stealing electricity? They stole something? Were they caught?"

As Bai Zhenzhen continued plugging chargers into the sockets in various classrooms, Yun Zhiguang said with a disgruntled expression, "Isn't there anything else? Is this considered stealing? Are you praising her for saving electricity?"

"I need more reliable dirt on you, preferably dirt that hasn't been used before," Yun Zhiguang snorted coldly, and said, "Anything else?"

After some questioning, and seeing the other party leave empty-handed, Zhou Chechen thought to himself, "Zhang Yu, Bai Zhenzhen... if there really is something bad about you... let it go."

"Hurry up and get into a sect, so no one will bother me anymore."

Just then, Deng Bingding appeared and looked at Zhou Chechen, saying, "Classmate, don't worry, they will definitely be admitted to the sect this time."

"They will break down the gates to the lower-level sect examinations for you. From then on, the lower-level sect examinations will become the norm, and you will have the opportunity to enter a sect in the future."

"Entering a sect..." Zhou Chechen murmured these four words, feeling a surge of emotion in his heart. He felt his blood, which had cooled down, suddenly heat up again.

An impulse from the depths of his heart, an infinite yearning for the path of immortality, made him willing to abandon all his past grievances and resentments, and also wanted to help Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen.

...

Wang Yin looked at the person in front of him and said coldly, "I have no grudges with Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen."

"Everyone was just playing around."

"Playing around?" Yun Zhiguang frowned and said, "Wang Yin, think it through. As long as you are willing to provide useful information, I can let you get outsourced work on the 11th floor, or even take the imperial examination."

Wang Yin remained silent, watching the other person's disappearing figure. He thought to himself, "Zhang Yu, you guys must get into the sect. I gave up an outsourcing job on the 11th floor for you."

Whether it was the impulse in his heart or the memories of the imperial examination in his mind, Wang Yin knew that once the imperial examination became a regular practice, he would be able to compete with a huge advantage at the lower levels and obtain the greatest opportunity to be examined.

...

"Xiangshan, does Zhang Yu have serious discriminatory behavior towards people of demonic lineage?"

"Was it him who caused that environmental damage you did? It ultimately led to the loss of the medicinal herb field..."

Looking at Yun Zhiguang and the others in front of him, Xiangshan's mind flashed back to the red envelope he received, the triple salary he earned, the feather debt he bought with all his savings, and the information Deng Bingding had told him.

After thinking for a moment, Xiangshan said calmly, "Zhang Yu did not discriminate against demons, nor did he damage the environment. It was all my fault for accidentally ruining it."

He thought to himself, "Will I... also have the opportunity to take the imperial examination in the future?"

Meanwhile, various investigations targeting Zhang Yu and others were continuously carried out, but under the strict surveillance of the Heavenly Court, the sect disciples only used bribery and normal investigations, and did not use any illegal means.

Ying Mingchi from Tianyao University said, "True Lord Zhuyi is my elder; he possesses a true demon's heart."

Mo Shangjin from Wanfa University said, "I don't recall Zhenjun committing any illegal or criminal acts at the construction site."

Ye Xingli said, "My senior brother has always been selfless, how could he embezzle funds?"

Looking at the feedback from each investigation, Yun Zhiguang sneered, "A bunch of scum from the lower realms, they've banded together, all wanting to see Zhang Yu pass the sect exam so they can also have a chance to enter a sect?"

Meanwhile, recalling the obstacles encountered during the investigation and the emergence of some clues, Yun Zhiguang became even more certain of her original guess.

"Zhang Pianpian, this woman is key."

"And there's also True Monarch Xinghuo. It seems that being knocked down a level before wasn't a coincidence."

“Zhang Yu, Yu Xinghan, Le Mulan, Bai Zhenzhen… these guys’ strengths and the exam questions are a perfect match.”

"The Heavenly Court had indeed planned this all along."

Yun Zhiguang sighed, knowing that with the Heavenly Court's thorough preparations, she was helpless.

"We can only rely on interviews."

As time passed, Zhang Yu and the others finally faced the final interview for the imperial examination.
