You dare to cultivate without money?!
Chapter 182 - 182 152 The First Evolution of the True Spirit Root

182: Chapter 152: The First Evolution of the True Spirit Root 182: Chapter 152: The First Evolution of the True Spirit Root The original True Spirit Root, over the years of adaptation inside Bai Zhenzhen’s belly, had extended tendrils like an additional nervous system, spreading throughout her body to assist and enhance in various aspects.

But now, Bai Zhenzhen felt all those tendrils that extended from the True Spirit Root had disappeared, or rather retracted back into the Spirit Root itself.

The True Spirit Root seemed to have reverted into a seed, yet it hadn’t severed its connection with her body.

Instead, Bai Zhenzhen felt…

at this moment, the True Spirit Root, although lacking tendrils, had formed a tighter bond with her.

It connected not only with the muscles, nerves, organs, bones, etc., of her entire body but even connected to her brain, establishing an inexplicable resonance with her mind.

The control of the body, the flow of strength, the circulation of mana…

all these surged back and forth in her mind, making Bai Zhenzhen feel her understanding of various cultivation techniques was advancing rapidly.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yu, watching Bai Zhenzhen, noticed that her abdomen had returned to being flat and toned.

However, the bluish mark that had appeared on her abdomen was now becoming more pronounced, like a budding blue lotus, exuding a unique charm.

The originally cool and aloof-looking Bai Zhenzhen now carried an aura of sanctity, which amazed Zhang Yu.

After waiting for a while, Bai Zhenzhen opened her eyes, two rays of brilliance flashing through her pupils.

Zhang Yu quickly asked, “How is it?”

Bai Zhenzhen sighed, “My True Spirit Root has indeed evolved.”

“Now the True Spirit Root can enhance my understanding of martial arts cultivation techniques, allowing me to enter a state of selflessness.”

“In that state, I feel my understanding of martial arts has further deepened, and there’s even a…

”

Bai Zhenzhen thought for a moment, then uncertainly said, “…I can seem to improve the cultivation techniques I originally practiced when they have some drawbacks that aren’t suitable for me?”

Zhang Yu was shocked, saying, “You mean you can improve cultivation techniques?

Infer cultivation techniques?”

Seeing Bai Zhenzhen slightly nod, Zhang Yu asked again, “Does that mean you can learn cultivation techniques even faster now?”

He reminded, “You must remember to remind yourself every day, never to expose the cultivation techniques for which you haven’t purchased usage rights!”

Before Zhang Yu arrived at Kunxu, Bai Zhenzhen, with the strengthening of the Spirit Root, already possessed extremely impressive martial arts talent.

She often needed only a short time to master various basic skills taught in high school.

When contemplating the Diagram of Celestial Martial Arts and the mana circulation diagram of the Limitless Cloud Hand from the Dharma Tournament, Bai Zhenzhen had astonishing performances.

Over the past six months, her martial arts talent had been increasing day by day as the Spirit Root continued to adapt.

Just like when Zhang Yu practiced Back Dragon Flipping Mountain Hand and Dragon Elephant Mountain Crashing Palm in front of her, merely watching from the side multiple times allowed Bai Zhenzhen to learn these two external skills and reach Level 1.

However, because these two cultivation techniques didn’t align with Bai Zhenzhen’s style and required paying for usage rights, she didn’t delve deeply into cultivation.

Zhang Yu inwardly thought, “Azhen’s martial arts aptitude is still too dangerous; she learns new martial arts skills so easily.

How could there be enough money to buy usage rights?”

“The key is that this martial arts aptitude is like a passive skill, impossible to turn off; it can only be hidden and used sparingly.”

“But it’s still much more fortunate than those born martial arts prodigies…”

Since learning the Back Dragon Flipping Mountain Hand on the spot at a martial arts competition, Zhang Yu had searched the web for many similar cases.

After reading, he had only one thought…

tragic, just too tragic.

These martial arts prodigies, often when they’re young, possess the talent to master techniques at a glance and perfect them in practice.

But to avoid breaking the rule that minors cannot cultivate or cultivate before entering high school, they are often heavily restrained by their parents from a young age, not daring to touch the internet, TV, news, and even only going out to places full of ordinary people.

More extreme cases involve being under 24-hour house arrest…

“Even entering high school is troublesome, it’s practically an innate fines Sacred Body, easily falling into traps and accruing massive debts.”

Zhang Yu shook his head, grateful that his Yu Shu wasn’t as uncontrollable, lacking the worry of accidentally learning someone else’s martial arts.

Hearing Zhang Yu’s reminder, Bai Zhenzhen seemed lost in thought, murmuring, “I know, Yu Zi.”

“It was very difficult for me before.”

“Especially seeing classmates at school performing martial arts I hadn’t learned, I couldn’t resist learning the external moves within.”

“These martial arts are like prepackaged dishes, left unguarded in front of me, waiting for me to pick…

”

“Each time was so hard to endure.”

“But now…” In Bai Zhenzhen’s mind, she was constantly deducing a sword technique: “I’ve found something even more delicious.”

…

On the next night.

Under the bridge arch.

By the small river.

Two streams of sword light clashed with each other, like shooting stars streaking across the night sky, leaving brilliant trails.

It was Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen practicing High School Basic Sword Technique.

Each holding a branch the length of an arm, the straight branches, infused with Sword Qi, became as sharp as a precious sword, slicing through the air with lethal trajectories towards each other.

Because September marked the start of the second year of high school, Zhang Yu took time to master the High School Basic Sword Technique required by the end of the first year and immediately pushed it to Level 10.

The Level 10 effect of this High School Basic Sword Technique was quite simple: the ability to infuse Sword Qi.

Through the infusion of Sword Qi, even a branch in Zhang Yu’s hand could be temporarily transformed into a sword artifact for use.

But at this moment, Bai Zhenzhen, also using High School Basic Sword Technique against Zhang Yu, with her branch swaying and her Sword Qi suddenly bursting out with threads of electric light, forcibly speeding up by three points.

The sword shadow in Bai Zhenzhen’s hand forced Zhang Yu to retreat step by step until both their branches could no longer bear the collision of Sword Qi, shattering into a cloud of wood fragments.

Zhang Yu curiously asked, “Did you succeed in the deduction?”

Bai Zhenzhen nodded, recalling the process of the past day, and slowly said, “Yes, after my deduction, the Level 10 effects of High School Basic Sword Technique have changed.”

“Besides simply infusing Sword Qi, it can now accelerate…”

Bai Zhenzhen picked up a blade of grass at random; as it was infused with Sword Qi, the originally soft grass immediately straightened, cutting through the air in a burst of electric light, drawing afterimages.

After a day of attempts, Bai Zhenzhen grew more familiar with the new function of the evolved True Spirit Root.

“My technique deduction can only infer martial arts skills I’ve mastered to Level 10.”

“The deduced result is changing the Level 10 effect of that martial arts skill to make it more suitable for me.”

“This simple one like High School Basic Sword Technique can be deduced in one day.”

“For expert level Body Refining Techniques like Thunderbolt True Body, it would probably take 3 or 4 days to complete the deduction.”

Bai Zhenzhen calculated that if she shared the usage of the True Spirit Root with Zhang Yu, taking turns using the root, it would take about a week.

“But fortunately, I can deduce while cultivating, without wasting too much extra time.”

Saying this, Bai Zhenzhen looked at Zhang Yu and said, “Yu Zi, the rapid evolution of the True Spirit Root is thanks to you.”

“I can feel that the True Spirit Root, while adapting to you, has transformed the 10-level martial arts you mastered into nourishment, accelerating its growth.”

At this moment, Fu Ji sighed, “I told you, Bai Zhenzhen’s evolving Spirit Root was indeed stimulated by your skill set.

It seems the Spirit Root’s evolution is heading in a martial arts direction.

As you both master more martial arts, constantly being absorbed as nourishment by this Spirit Root, it should continue to evolve.”

And Zhang Yu noticed that when Bai Zhenzhen spoke, her eyes were aglow, seemingly full of anticipation for the future and interest in technique deduction.

The next moment, Bai Zhenzhen had already flashed to Zhang Yu’s back like the wind, hugging him tightly, and said with great eagerness, “Yu Zi, you should try it too, this deduction of techniques is really interesting.”

But Zhang Yu glanced at the time and said, “Next time, it’s almost tutoring time, I have to hurry to class.”

Saying that, Zhang Yu had already changed his form, transforming into the guise he uses for disguise, taking on the appearance of the supplementary tutor from the dark world, Ma Yunteng.

“Try it on the way, it’s really super interesting, super useful…”

While Bai Zhenzhen talked, she had already put on a golden wig, applied tattoo stickers, and put on mature makeup, transforming into the appearance of the supplementary tutor from the dark world, Le Mulan.

After finishing all that, Bai Zhenzhen squatted in front of Zhang Yu and said, “At worst, I’ll carry you to class today, you can try deducing martial arts on the way, right?”

Zhang Yu felt at this moment Bai Zhenzhen was like a child eager to show off a beloved toy, insisting that he play with her new toy.

And it was a rare chance to ride on his good brother’s back, so naturally, Zhang Yu didn’t refuse, easily leaping up and hugging Bai Zhenzhen from behind.

Moments later, Bai Zhenzhen, surrounded by a burst of electric light, sped off toward the district, carrying Zhang Yu all the way.

Zhang Yu, sensing the True Spirit Root, tried using it to deduce the 10-level skills he mastered, but felt the progress was very slow.

He murmured, “At this pace, any expert-level skill, considering taking turns with Azhen using the Spirit Root, will probably take me 2 to 3 months to successfully deduce?”

“If deducing one skill takes so long, choosing well is crucial.”

With that in mind, Zhang Yu mentally reviewed all the cultivation techniques he mastered, finally settling on the Dragon Elephant Mountain Crashing Palm.

“My Body Refinement efficiency is already quite high, and as my physical strength increases, effectively mobilizing and exploding the power within the body becomes crucial.”

“Moreover, this 200,000-priced Dragon Elephant Mountain Crashing Palm is the most expensive cultivation technique I’ve learned so far…”

With this thought, Zhang Yu decided to focus on deducing the Dragon Elephant Mountain Crashing Palm.
