Chapter 39 Heart Method

The Zhoutian Qi Gathering Method finally reached level 10. Zhang Yu then planned to switch Yu Shu's specialization and choose another method to upgrade.

After deciding not to sign a contract with the student union and deciding to break through the siege and get admitted to the top ten universities, Zhang Yu also figured out some things.

First of all, without the investment from the student union, the resources at his disposal would inevitably be more limited.

If he wants to get into the top ten, the pressure he will face in the future will be much greater than it is now.

Resources are more limited, but the pressure is greater.

Therefore, Zhang Yu must be careful in allocating and utilizing the resources in his hands, and try his best to develop faster and better per unit time.

To achieve this, one must make the most of one's strengths - absolute self-discipline and amazing potential.

Simply put, it means practicing stronger and more difficult techniques.

For Zhang Yu, the owner of the Feather Book, if he practices the same technique diligently, the more powerful the technique he learns, the better the effect will be.

It's like one Zhang Yu is practicing the Great Wilderness Prisoner Sky Finger, while another Zhang Yu is practicing the Basic Long Palm. You can tell which one has a promising future just by listening to the names.

Zhang Yu thought to himself: "...but this is not something that can be done casually."

The more powerful the martial arts technique, the higher the threshold.

Just like even a dog can learn the doggy paddle, not everyone can learn water ballet.

Among the expert-level skills, such as the Tianwu Lianxin Jue in Zhang Yu's hands, he has not yet reached the requirement of level 3 Dao Heart.

Therefore, if you want to practice powerful skills, the first condition is to meet the threshold of these skills as much as possible.

Zhang Yu's eyes swept across the screen of his mobile phone, looking at the requirements that each powerful technique put forward for the practitioner...

"Dao heart! Mana power!"

Just as high school teachers often say, Taoist heart and magical power are the foundation of the immortal path.

The level of Dao Heart represents the cultivator's control over and ability to carry the power of the immortal way.

Mana power is the most basic force that drives all kinds of exercises.

The thresholds for most of the powerful techniques are related to the Tao mind and magic power.

Therefore, if you want to practice powerful skills, you must have a high enough level of Taoism and magical power.

"In terms of mana, I now have the 10th level of Zhou Tian Qi Gathering Method. I am breathing in and out spiritual energy and refining mana all the time."

"On the contrary, it is my Dao Heart level that I have been neglecting to improve in recent times."

Zhang Yu looked at his savings. After paying for a new round of rent, utilities, and miscellaneous expenses such as food during this period, he currently had more than 62,000 yuan left in his savings.

Even if this money is all used to improve magic power, it is only enough to rent a spiritual root for more than ten hours, just like spending a night in an Internet cafe. It will be gone in the blink of an eye, and the improvement is extremely limited.

So Zhang Yu thought about it these days and still felt that he should buy a more powerful mental method to improve his Dao Heart to level 3 as soon as possible, and then switch to practicing the Tianwu Refining Heart Technique to further accelerate the improvement of his Dao Heart.

After all, the level of Dao Heart during the Qi training period ranges from level 1 to the highest level 10, similar to the magic power from 1 to 100.

It would take quite a while to raise the Dao Heart level to level 3. If there was a stronger and more suitable Heart Refining Method than the basic one, it would save a lot of time.

After your Dao Heart level and magic power are both improved, you can then practice more powerful techniques. This is the fastest and most cost-effective route to develop.

Zhang Yu had done a lot of research and thought over the past few days about what mental skills to buy.

Basic level, advanced level, expert level...

Among the mental methods that Zhang Yu can currently purchase, the basic level is the cheapest, but it does not provide much improvement for him.

Although the expert level is powerful, it is not only expensive, but also has a high threshold for cultivation, and is not suitable for him at the moment.

On the contrary, the mental method for advancing to the next level seemed rather useless to most students who were just four months into their first year of high school, but it was just right for Zhang Yu.

In terms of effectiveness, the first year of high school is the time to lay the foundation, and the several basic exercises promoted in high schools are all researched and developed by the ten major sects. They are the most moderate and peaceful, and have a very good effect in laying the foundation.

It would be better to concentrate on improving a basic mental method than to learn an additional advanced mental method at this time, which would be a lot of work.

Therefore, even for wealthy students, they often focus on the basics in their first year of high school, and only in their second year do they start to work hard and learn various expensive techniques.

This is also one of the reasons why the grades of various rich guys in Songyang High School often open up a huge gap with those of the poor people in their second year of high school, while the rankings of the poor geniuses begin to decline in their second year of high school.

As for the price, although the advanced level skills are much cheaper than the expert level ones, the subsequent costs are still high.

After all, it is too difficult to learn the skills by yourself. For most people, it is not possible to just learn with a secret book. You often need a teacher to guide you.

An advanced level manual may only cost a few hundred or a few thousand, but the subsequent teaching, classes, guidance... and tutoring fees may cost several thousand.

This reminded Zhang Yu of some games in his previous life, where the main body of the game was free, but the various props and characters cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Run away.jpg But these two points are very suitable for Zhang Yu.

Make-up classes? Not available.

Even if I, Zhang Yu, only rely on myself, I can still master magical skills with my extraordinary talent.

Opening the favorites bar of the shopping website, Zhang Yu looked at a mental method he had chosen.

Advanced level martial arts, the Wild Bull Soul-Calming Secret.

Just looking at the name, it seems to be a method of mind that is mighty, domineering, extremely strong, and awe-inspiring.

But upon closer inspection, one finds that the Wild Ox Soul-Calming Heart Technique requires a matching thought, which is a state of diligence, hard work, and endurance, like an old ox opening up new land.

What is particularly crucial is that the strongest state of this mental method requires the cooperation of another person, a role that can constantly force and suppress the practitioner and constantly give the practitioner tasks, such as a leader or boss.

The more orders you receive, the harsher the pressure, and the longer the working hours, the stronger the effect of the Wild Ox Soul-Calming Secret will be.

The Wild Ox Soul-Calming Secret has been selected as the best construction site secret for ten consecutive years and is the most popular secret among bosses.

It is also a set of martial arts techniques whose user ratings have always been below 1.2 points.

Zhang Yu looked at the user reviews.

One star

What the company requires you to learn is really useful.

One star

Five-star good rating period.

One star

I got hung up by my stupid boss again today.

After just a few glances, Zhang Yu felt a strong resentment coming towards him. It was obvious that most of the practitioners of this Ox and Horse Mentality Method were forced to practice it, and it was obvious at first glance that they all met the requirements of the method.

Zhang Yu looked at the specific configuration requirements of the technique again.

Recommended configuration:

1 Forced to work more than 18 hours a day Zhang Yu thought about it and felt that he seemed to be forced by the power of the ritual 24 hours a day, which met the requirements.

He looked at the next one.

2. The means of coercion should be at least verbal coercion, preferably with a salary threat. The harsher the coercion, the better the effect.

Zhang Yu thought about it and felt that he was now being threatened with death, which met the requirements.

"This Ox-Horse Mentality is indeed very suitable for my current state, and the key is the price..."

Zhang Yu looked at the Wild Ox Soul-Calming Secret and found that the current price for the right to use it was only 588 yuan.

This is one of the cheapest advanced martial arts techniques Zhang Yu has ever seen.

However, if you want to get started, you need a "boss" to cooperate with you, so the guidance service priced at 1,000 per day is also recommended.

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

After all, many jobs require this mentality before you can get the job, but many people have to find a job and have a boss before they can develop this mentality.

In order to solve this job-hunting dilemma, the platform has specially launched a paid guidance service.

You're just spending money to hire a boss for yourself, right?

Zhang Yu cursed inwardly, knowing that he certainly didn't need this, as he had something forcing him 24 hours a day, anywhere and at any time.

It can be said that this Wild Bull Soul-Calming Secret, no matter its effect, price, configuration... is a secret technique that is extremely suitable for Zhang Yu's current state.

You won’t suffer a loss or be cheated with 588. Even if you find that your thinking cannot adapt, the loss will not be too great.

The only thing that made Zhang Yu feel unhappy was the connotation of this technique.

However, at this moment he is no longer the Zhang Yu who had just traveled through time. Faced with the harsh environment of Kunxu and the repeated pressure from the power of rituals, he has learned to adjust his mentality and thoughts to adapt to the environment.

Zhang Yu took a deep breath and thought, "Just let it be, the situation is pressing."

"If you need to be a coward, just be a coward and be like a beast of burden for a while."

"With my potential, even if I work like a cow or a horse and quietly save money, there will always be a day when I can fill a hole in the sky."

Zhang Yu knew very well that he was practicing the Oxen and Horse Mentality not because he was willing to be an ox or a horse, but because it was a temporary accumulation for a better future.

Place an order, pay, and receive the goods.

In the blink of an eye, he received an electronic version of the mental method.

After reading it carefully, new skills appeared on the feather book.

Wild Ox Soul-Calming Heart Technique 0 (0/1, 1/1 level Dao Heart) Zhang Yu sat cross-legged and began to practice this heart method.

He simply emptied his mind, tried to keep his spirit calm, and began to construct a mental diagram of this technique in his mind.

It was a picture of an old cow with its head down, silently reclaiming land.

But after Zhang Yu built it for a while, he always felt something was wrong.

Suddenly he seemed to remember something, and he quickly stopped practicing and sat there.

After a moment, a chill rose in his heart and a countdown sounded in his mind.

This time, Zhang Yu started practicing the Wild Bull Soul-Calming Secret again, and he immediately felt that it was right.

A few minutes later, a picture of an old cow with its head down, silently reclaiming the land had emerged in his mind.

At this moment, he seemed like an ox that worked silently and without complaint, and the unhappiness in his heart was alleviated a lot.

As he finished sketching this mind-concentrating diagram, numerous memories of practicing the Wild Ox Soul-Calming Heart Technique emerged in his mind out of thin air, allowing him to master this technique in an instant.

Wild Ox Soul-Calming Secret Level 1 (0/3)

"Just practice three times and you can level up?"

Zhang Yu didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a moment: "Is it because this technique is well suited to my current state?"

So he waited for a while, and when the countdown in his mind sounded, Zhang Yu practiced the Wild Ox Soul-Calming Secret again, and began to sketch the picture of the old ox reclaiming the wasteland in his mind.

He practiced this back and forth three times. After about ten minutes, Zhang Yu felt a movement of his mind. His understanding of the Wild Ox Soul-Calming Secret was deepened again, and the picture of mind-concentration in his mind became clearer and more vivid.

Wild Ox Soul-Calming Secret Level 2 (0/6)

Especially after the Wild Bull Soul-Calming Heart Technique was upgraded to level 2, he felt that practicing was not so boring and unbearable anymore.

"Is this the effect of the Wild Ox Soul Calming Heart Technique? It can make people less afraid of hardship and more hardworking..."

It was not until Zhang Yu stopped practicing this mental method that he felt all kinds of tiredness, boredom, and laziness thoughts flooding into his mind again.

After a while, after waiting for the power of the ritual to arrive, Zhang Yu once again practiced the Wild Bull Soul-Calming Heart Sutra. The impetuous and escapist thoughts in his mind were instantly swept away, allowing him to begin to practice earnestly.

"This technique... doesn't seem to be as bad as I thought before."

He suddenly remembered a sentence in the preface of this martial art, said by the founder who called himself the Great Sage of Wild Ox.

"May all people in the world face difficulties with less pain and more hope."

An idea suddenly came to his mind: "Perhaps the person who created this technique did not regard it as a beast's mental method."

In the blink of an eye, almost half an hour passed. Zhang Yu took a deep breath and felt a tremor in his sea of ​​consciousness. His Wild Bull Soul-Calming Heart Technique had been upgraded to level 3 (0/9).

After practicing for a while, he felt that both the magic power and physical strength in his body suddenly became more controllable and perceptible as if they were his own arms.

"My Dao Heart level has been raised to Level 2."

Although Zhang Yu originally felt that his Dao Heart level should be upgraded soon, at this moment he couldn't help but sigh... at his rapid progress after practicing the Wild Bull Soul-Calming Heart Sutra.

This technique is indeed very suitable for his current condition.

"Then continue to be a beast of burden. As long as the pay is enough, being a beast of burden is nothing."

So next, Zhang Yu immersed himself in the practice of the Wild Ox Soul-Calming Heart Technique once again. As this technique was practiced, he seemed to feel less and less boredom and hardship in the practice. Instead, a sense of accumulated satisfaction surged in his heart.

It’s like an old ox working diligently to open up new land, and feeling a sense of accomplishment as he sees the soil beneath his feet becoming more and more fertile.
