Chapter 168 Zhang Yu's Heartache (Thanks to 'Tian Ze Lu' for rewarding the Silver Alliance Leader)
According to the explanation and standards of the righteous gods, the so-called ten-star difficulty skills are the skills that ordinary high school students in ordinary high schools need three years to practice.
A nine-star level would take two years, an eight-star level would take a year, and a seven-star level would take about half a year...
After hearing this introduction, Dai Xingzhi thought to himself, "Based on this difficulty, if I want to complete it within two hours, I am very confident that I can achieve a five-star level, but there is a possibility of failure for a six-star level. As for seven-star and above... apart from Yun Jing and Ye Lingxiao, I am afraid that few people dare to choose it."
After all, in Dai Xingzhi's opinion, it is not worth it to risk not being able to practice martial arts just to get a few more points, and end up with a risk of 0 points in this level.
The other side.
Zhang Yu, however, didn't care about the difficulty of the explanation. He was looking at the rows of exercises appearing on the light screen, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
"Demon Parasitic Technique, Buzhou Moving Mountains Sutra, Heart Yuan Great Handprint..."
Although the skills provided by the gods in this exam could not possibly be all the Qi Refining skills in Kunxu, they were already dazzling enough for Zhang Yu.
"So many techniques? Can I choose all of them?"
At this moment, Zhang Yu's eyes showed great excitement. After all, with his great potential, it would be easy for him to assist Yu Shu in practicing any martial arts.
The righteous god on the other side was still explaining the rules, and Deng Bingding said, "...different difficulty techniques naturally have different difficulty coefficients."
"The final score for this level will be calculated based on the difficulty level and the time it takes you to finally master the technique."
"Okay, now you have 10 minutes to start choosing your technique."
"Once you choose a technique, you can never change it."
"If you don't finish selecting a technique after ten minutes, it will be considered as giving up, and this level will be counted as 0 points."
"As for the weapons, materials, medicines and other supplies needed to practice various techniques, they will be provided on site. After you choose the technique, they will be given to you."
"Finally, remember not to choose a technique that you have already learned, otherwise it will be treated as cheating."
As the rules of this final martial arts exam were gradually explained, the 10-minute timer began and the students could already operate the light screen in front of them to choose their own techniques.
The students at the scene stretched out their hands and drew on the light screen in front of them. As their fingers kept clicking, their eyes browsed back and forth between the exercises one after another, and hesitation appeared on their faces from time to time.
As Zhang Yu looked at the list of skills, he thought: "If I want to get a high score, I should choose the most difficult skill."
In the list of techniques, each technique was rated with a star rating by the gods according to its difficulty.
Zhang Yu selected the highest ten-star difficulty skills, and saw the following skills appearing on the list: The Myriad Palms, Blood-scattering Demon-killing Skill, Heavenly Demon Disintegration Skill, Ten Thousand Swords Endless Skill, Hundred Changes and Thousand Illusions Heart Skill...
"The ten-star difficulty level only means that these techniques are the most difficult to practice, but they are not necessarily the most powerful ones, let alone the ones I need the most, or the ones that are most suitable for me."
Thinking of this, Zhang Yu recalled the process of the Foundation Establishment Qualification Examination and the purpose of today's examination.
"The foundation building qualification exam is divided into three rounds. The round I am participating in today... is the first round of exams in August."
"There will be a second round of exams in October and a third round in January next year."
"Today, in the first round of exams, you only need to enter the top 20 in total scores of magic power, physical strength, and martial arts to avoid being eliminated and be eligible to enter the second round of exams."
Zhang Yu calculated his ranking in the magic power and physical level, and knew that as long as he ranked in the top 20 in the third level, he would be unlikely to be eliminated.
"So... compared to choosing the most difficult technique and getting a very high score..."
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Perhaps I should take this opportunity to practice a powerful technique that is most suitable for me for free."
"Firstly, it won't affect my passing today's exam."
“Secondly, this will be more helpful for my future development.”
Zhang Yu's eyes swept over the martial arts techniques that cost hundreds of thousands or even millions, and he felt like drooling.
Although they are all expert-level skills, there are differences between expert levels, which can be seen from the price of each expert-level skill.
Zhang Yu normally wouldn't even dare to think about expert-level skills that cost seventy, eighty, or even millions of dollars.
After all, with so much money, he would definitely use it to buy pills, make medicine, rent spiritual veins, and ascend to the spiritual world...
But now, he has the opportunity to practice such an expensive martial art for free.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yu has made up his mind: "I want to choose a martial art that is most suitable for me and the strongest."
The best fit isn't hard to find.
"Just after my physical strength broke through to level 8, the efficiency of the Red Marrow Qi gradually began to decline."
Thinking of this, Zhang Yu directly chose body-refining martial arts as the type of technique, and then chose the late stage of Qi training.
As for which of these physical training martial arts is the strongest? Zhang Yu directly clicked on the sorting by price.
"There are many scams in Kunxu, and the methods of deceiving people and cutting leeks are endless."
"But one thing is absolutely correct, that is, companies here will never put a low price on a martial art that they think is very powerful."
“There is no such thing as good quality at a low price.”
"On the contrary, the most expensive skills must have powerful features."
As the sorting was completed, the body-refining martial arts that appeared in front of Zhang Yu were, from high to low, Spring and Autumn Endless Zen at 1.55 million, Titanium Body Refining Essentials at 1.54 million, and Great Dragon Divine Power at 1.52 million.
Although these three skills are all of eight-star difficulty, not the highest ten-star difficulty, but for Zhang Yu these are the skills he really needs.
Especially after taking a quick look at the introductions of these three most expensive skills, Zhang Yu felt a kind of heartache.
"Am I going to give up two of these three techniques?"
Then he became extremely hesitant.
"Spring and Autumn Endless Zen can strengthen the body while also cleansing the marrow and strengthening the internal organs. It can truly change the body constitution, enhance the body's vitality, expel various impurities such as erysipelas and drug poisons from the body, and improve the effect of taking medicine..."
"After practicing this technique, you can take medicine and acupuncture like crazy. It is a true body-refining technique that enhances the practitioner's potential to become an immortal."
But looking at the Titanium Body Refining Secrets beside him, Zhang Yu also became eager: "A worker in a steel factory created this technique after falling into a steelmaking furnace and struggling to survive."
"It can melt various alloys into the body, combine with flesh, bones and even internal organs, and greatly enhance the body's ability to resist blows and its carrying capacity."
"In particular, the higher the quality of the alloy used, the higher the body strength. It is said that the company guarantees that the training materials will be updated every year. Even after reaching level 10, it can become stronger year by year."
Zhang Yu scoffed at the claim that a worker fell into a steel furnace. He thought it was obviously a gimmick made up by the company to promote this martial art.
Rather than a story about a worker accidentally falling into a steel furnace, Zhang Yu would rather believe that this was a technique that was created after countless experimenters were burned or crushed to death in the laboratory.
But the strength of this technique is unquestionable.
But Zhang Yu couldn't help but look at the great dragon power on the side.
"Refining dragon blood will transform the body into a half-dragon, half-human body. This can greatly increase muscle strength and physical strength, while also improving recovery, energy, stamina, drug resistance, metabolism, digestion, and other abilities."
"If you persist in refining dragon blood every day, you can even continue to grow your potential, increase your lifespan, and gain some dragon abilities."
"Well... but there are side effects, that is, the personality will be affected by the dragon's nature. For example, dragons are inherently lustful. As the dragon blood is continuously refined, the cultivator's aesthetic taste will change, and their hobbies will become more and more diverse."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"It would be best if you could continue to improve after you have mastered the technique in conjunction with sterilization surgery."
But this little side effect is nothing to Zhang Yu now.
If he could practice this technique for free, he would be willing to even undergo a minor operation.
As the 10-minute time for selecting martial arts techniques passed, Zhang Yu looked at the three martial arts techniques in front of him and felt extremely hesitant and difficult.
“I want them all.”
"Oh, this is too hard to choose."
Compared with Zhang Yu's difficulties, Ye Lingxiao on the other side seemed very decisive.
As the heir to the perfect bloodline of the Ye family in Xiandu, Ye Lingxiao possesses a nervous system far superior to that of ordinary high school students. He has an innate and terrifying control over his muscles, internal organs, and even magic power.
This talent was fully unleashed once he entered high school, allowing him to learn any martial arts technique at a glance and master it immediately.
It can be said that since entering high school, the number of martial arts he has practiced has long surpassed the imagination of ordinary students. Even his classmates, teachers, and personal coaches... don't know how many kinds of martial arts he has learned.
And at this moment, in Ye Lingxiao's eyes, many of these rows of skills were ones he had already learned.
As for the remaining things that he had not learned, he had seen and heard about most of them and knew the general direction they were heading.
However, he would not risk choosing a technique he had already practiced to take this exam.
On the one hand, he himself was too disdainful to do so, and on the other hand, each of his martial arts techniques was a genuine one for which he had purchased the right to use.
As a pure and genuine user, what kind of skills he has practiced can be found out by the righteous gods on the scene.
So Ye Lingxiao selected the martial arts with a cultivation difficulty of ten stars, and then randomly chose a martial art that he had never practiced but did not dislike.
Ye Lingxiao thought to himself: "Let's just use this Ten Thousand Swords Endless Art."
Yun Jing on the other side was even simpler. Unlike Ye Lingxiao, he had not practiced a large number of martial arts. At this moment, he simply sorted them from high to low in difficulty and chose the Senluo Wanxiang Palm, which was at the top.
Yu Xinghan thought about it for a moment.
True Man Xinghuo had already made plans and arrangements for his practice and selection of each technique in the Qi Refining stage.
Judging from the rankings in the previous two exams, he was not under much pressure in this exam and did not need to find the most difficult technique to practice.
"There's no need to choose a technique that's not in Master's plan. It will only waste my extra time and energy."
After all, Master Xinghuo's schedule for Yu Xinghan was already very tight, and he had no extra time to practice additional skills.
"You still have to choose the method in the plan."
"In this way, next time Li Xuelian transfers money to me to buy a technique..."
Yu Xinghan was delighted when he thought that he could learn a martial art for free here today and get money from Li Xuelian next time.
"Of course I have to choose the most expensive one in the plan..."
Yu Xinghan's gaze rested on the Tiangang Qigong, which was of seven-star difficulty and worth 900,000.
"It would be difficult for me to master the seven-star level of Tiangang Qigong in two hours."
"and……"
Looking at the eight big words in the introduction of the skill: "If you want to practice this skill, swing the sword against life", Yu Xinghan felt a chill.
He had just asked the examiner, Tiangang Qigong requires the integrity of the body. So if he chooses this practice, the examiner will respectfully ask the Ministry of Health to use its divine power to restore the physical defects caused by the sterilization surgery.
"So when practicing Tiangang Qigong, one has to face the impact on one's Tao heart, as well as the physical and mental changes brought about by various hormone changes in the body, which greatly hinders one's own practice."
This change, which hinders his own cultivation, is simply poisonous to Yu Xinghan, who is determined to make rapid progress on the path to immortality.
"No wonder Master arranged for me to practice Tiangang Qigong in my second or even third year of high school."
"So, to practice this technique, one has to pay such a high price?"
Yu Xinghan gritted his teeth and thought, "But wealth and honor are achieved through risk. If I don't even dare to fight for 900,000 yuan, how can I strive to climb the path of immortality in the future?"
“Let’s fight!”
The rest of the students, such as Dai Xingzhi, Meng Tao and other Xiandu High School students, mostly chose five- or six-star difficulty techniques.
This is all for the sake of safety. After all, if the chosen technique is too difficult and cannot be practiced within two hours, it will be counted as zero points.
