And what about Tantai Qin's "Questioning the Three Lives"? Isn't that a kind of supernatural power that uses spiritual energy to the extreme?
It was Batian Military's provocation that made Shen Qian realize this weakness, so he took advantage of his spare time to fill in the gaps.
"3987 contribution points".
In the Hundred Kings Hall's exchange system, Shen Qian first glanced at his contribution value balance.
After adding the 1,000 contribution points from bounty number 56, his contribution point balance is approaching the 4,000 mark, which should be enough to exchange for some mental power spells without much difficulty.
However, it was both unexpected and reasonable. After searching for "techniques", the catalog that appeared in the exchange system only had a dozen or so techniques available for exchange.
"The Heavenly Evolution Manual, left behind by King Qin Guang, those five words alone are enough, but it's a pity it costs eight thousand contribution points, and you can only exchange for the first volume, it's outrageous..."
Keep in mind that a genuine mythical beast Qilin egg only costs 9999 contribution points, and this scroll of magic is almost as valuable.
There are four other cultivation techniques like the "Heavenly Evolution Technique" that Shen Qian simply cannot afford to exchange for. Although Shen Qian is envious of them, he can only skip them.
After looking around, Shen Qian finally focused his attention on the three spells.
"The Thousand Charms, exchangeable for 3,000 contribution points, is a mind control technique. When cultivated to a high level, even the top-tier Mountain and Sea Realm experts will waver for a moment. In a life-or-death battle, if used well, it can even change the situation in an instant."
"The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons combines attack, confusion, and soul-stealing abilities. It can be used on groups and can be exchanged for 4,200 contribution points."
"Shadow Spear, a pure offensive spell, is quite similar to 'Shadow Blade,' which perfectly aligns with my idea of combining 'Shadow Blade' with mental attacks. This one is relatively inexpensive, costing only 1,800 contribution points..."
Shen Qian originally intended to specialize in only one type of magic.
But after hesitating for a while, Shen Qian still dragged "Hyakki Yagyō" and "Yingqiang" directly into the settlement interface.
The Shadow Spear is undoubtedly the best, because of the existence of the Shadow Blade, Shen Qian would never give up this technique.
Moreover, it is not a high-level mental spell, but rather the most common type of straightforward attack. Only the "Shadow Blade" before it can give it a different kind of magic.
Therefore, there's no need to overthink this; you must cultivate it.
The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons is a complex magic technique, and once you learn it, there are countless applications for it.
Besides being extremely useful in group combat, there is another aspect that greatly appeals to Shen Qian.
"Soul Stealing!"
The meaning of these two words might be a little hard to understand, but their function becomes quite clear once you understand them.
Besides mind control, once you learn the techniques of soul capture, you can even search the other person's soul, erase their memories, and even tamper with them!
Just like all the students in Toothless Valley back then, their memories were erased by Boss Gao.
Shen Qian felt that he still needed to learn more of these unconventional but useful methods in certain situations.
Although he disliked anything flashy, he couldn't just be a complete brute.
As for the "Thousand Charms" technique, we can put it aside for now; I don't have that much energy for it right now.
Having selected two spells, the next problem is that there aren't enough contribution points.
The gap of around two thousand points was within an acceptable range for Shen Qian. He directly had Wan Ning contact Yuan****** in the Hundred Kings Hall. A moment later, the bank's SMS notification of the deposit arrived rang.
"Dear Mr. Shen, the esteemed holder of the Black Gold Card, your dedicated customer service manager, Du Mengyao, sends her greetings. At 10:22 AM, your bank card ending in 9999 received a deposit of RMB 0.00 in Huaxia Currency, leaving a current account balance of RMB 0.54. Our bank..."
He withdrew 400 million from the investment fund and, without batting an eye, directly deposited another 420 million into the Hundred Kings Hall.
Core members can exchange cash for contribution points at a ratio of 200,000 to 1, which is much cheaper than for regular members.
Soon, his contribution points balance became 6087 points.
Just enough to redeem "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons" and "Shadow Gun".
After changing the spell, before Shen Qian could even open it and examine it, he felt someone touch his elbow.
Shen Qian's consciousness returned to reality, and he opened his eyes to see Ouyang Fei smiling at him. "Shen Qian, wake up, it's almost our turn!"
"Is it about to begin?"
Shen Qian sat up and saw that the main stadium was already in an uproar, and the battle between the sixty university teams on the thirty separate arenas below had also entered a heated phase.
"This is the final round of competition. Once the result is determined, the top 250 teams will be decided."
Since he hadn't opened his eyes for more than an hour before sinking, Ouyang Fei also gave him a quick update on his current progress.
"So fast?"
Shen was somewhat surprised, but upon reflection, it made sense.
Nearly 700 universities participated in the competition. After removing 100 seeded universities, the remaining 600 universities only need to go through two rounds of competition to determine the top 150.
Although each team consists of five people taking turns, in martial arts battles, the outcome is often decided in a matter of moments. Battles that last for hundreds of rounds are usually only found in low-brow literature.
In addition, with thirty arenas competing simultaneously in the early stages, an hour or so is more than enough.
Are there any particularly outstanding universities?
Shen Qian glanced at the arenas where the fights were taking place and casually asked a question.
"There are basically none in universities, but there are a few good ones among individuals." Ye Shicong shrugged, "but they're just so-so."
