You dare to cultivate without money?!
Chapter 198 - 198 166 Zhang Yu's Heartache Thanks to 'Tian Ze Lv' for the Silver Alliance Leader Reward

198: Chapter 166 Zhang Yu’s Heartache (Thanks to ‘Tian Ze Lv’ for the Silver Alliance Leader Reward) 198: Chapter 166 Zhang Yu’s Heartache (Thanks to ‘Tian Ze Lv’ for the Silver Alliance Leader Reward) According to the explanation and standards of the True God, a ten-star difficulty cultivation technique is one that an ordinary high school student would need three years to master.

A nine-star would require two years, an eight-star one year, and a seven-star roughly half a year…

Upon hearing this introduction, Dai Xingzhi thought to himself, “With this level of difficulty, trying to master it within two hours, I am confident about a five-star difficulty, but a six-star might lead to failure, and as for seven-star and above…

besides Yun Jing and Ye Lingxiao, it’s likely that few would dare to choose.”

After all, in Dai Xingzhi’s view, risking failing to master a martial art for some extra points, ultimately scoring a zero in this stage, is just not worth it.

On the other side.

Zhang Yu was not paying attention to the difficulty explanation; he was staring at the array of cultivation techniques displayed on the screen, unable to suppress the smile curling up his lips.

“Heavenly Demon Parasite Technique, Buzhou Banshan Scripture, Heart Element Great Handprint…”

Although the cultivation techniques provided by the True Gods in this examination were certainly not all the Qi Refinement Realm techniques from Kunxu, it was already dazzling enough for Zhang Yu.

“So many techniques?

Can they all be chosen?”

At this moment, an intense excitement appeared in Zhang Yu’s eyes, for with his extraordinary potential, assisted by Yu Shu, mastering any technique would be a breeze.

Meanwhile, the True God continued explaining the rules, as Deng Bingding said: “…Different techniques have varying difficulty coefficients.”

“The final score for this stage will be calculated based on the difficulty coefficient and the time taken to master the technique.”

“Alright, you now have 10 minutes to begin selecting a technique.”

“Once a technique is selected, it cannot be changed.”

“If you have not completed the selection within ten minutes, you will be deemed to have forfeited, and this stage will be scored as zero.”

“Regarding the weapons, materials, medicines, etc., needed for practicing the techniques, they will be provided on-site and given to you after you select a technique.”

“Lastly, remember not to choose a technique you have already learned, or it will be treated as cheating.”

As the rules for the final martial arts examination were gradually explained, the 10-minute timer started, and students could now operate the screen before them to select their techniques.

At the scene, students were reaching out and swiping across the screens, their fingers constantly tapping, their eyes moving back and forth among the array of techniques, occasionally showing a look of hesitation on their faces.

Zhang Yu, while looking at the list of techniques, thought to himself: “To score high, I should choose the most difficult techniques.”

Within the list, each technique was rated by the True Gods with a star level based on difficulty.

Zhang Yu filtered out the highest ten-star difficulty techniques, seeing: Senluo Wanxiang Palm, Scattering Blood Demon Slaying Technique, Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique, Infinite Sword Technique, Hundred Transformations Thousand Illusion Heart Technique…

“Ten-star difficulty represents solely the highest level of difficulty to practice these techniques; doesn’t necessarily mean they are the most powerful techniques, let alone the ones I need the most, or the ones best suited for me.”

At this thought, Zhang Yu recalled the process of the Foundation Establishment qualification exam, and the purpose of today’s examination.

“The Foundation Establishment qualification exam is divided into three rounds; today’s exam is the first round in August.”

“Following this, there will be the second round in October, and the third round in January next year.”

“For today’s first round, as long as the combined score of mana, body, and martial arts is in the top twenty, I won’t be eliminated, securing qualification for the second round.”

Zhang Yu calculated his rankings in mana and body phases, knowing that in the third phase, as long as he also ranked within the top 20, it would be highly unlikely for him to be eliminated.

“So…

rather than selecting the technique with the highest difficulty for a high score…”

Zhang Yu mused, “Perhaps I should seize this opportunity to freely practice the most suitable and powerful technique for me.”

“Firstly, it doesn’t affect passing today’s exam.”

“Secondly, this will better aid my future development.”

Browsing those techniques priced at tens to hundreds of thousands, Zhang Yu felt his mouth water.

Though all are expert-level techniques, there are discrepancies between expert levels, a fact evident from the pricing of each expert-level technique.

Those priced at seventy to eighty thousand, or even hundreds of thousands, are techniques Zhang Yu wouldn’t even dare to dream about under ordinary circumstances.

After all, with such money, he would surely prioritize buying elixirs, getting treatments, renting spirit veins, or entering the Spirit Realm…

But now, he has the opportunity to freely practice such an expensive technique.

With this thought, Zhang Yu has already made up his mind: “I want to pick the technique best suitable and strongest for me.”

The most suitable one isn’t hard to find.

“Exactly as my body strength broke through level 8, Red Marrow Primordial Qi started becoming less efficient.”

With this thought, Zhang Yu directly chose the body refinement martial arts type and then selected the late Qi Refinement stage.

Which of these body refinement martial arts is the strongest?

Zhang Yu directly clicked to sort by price.

“There are many pitfalls in Kunxu, endless deceptive tactics, countless methods to exploit.”

“However, one thing is certain: the companies here would never price a body refinement martial arts they deem very strong…

at a low price.”

“Quality at a bargain doesn’t exist.”
