Chapter 201 - 201 168 Spring and Autumn Endless Zen

201: Chapter 168: Spring and Autumn Endless Zen 201: Chapter 168: Spring and Autumn Endless Zen When Zhang Yu first attempted to comprehend the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen, he was completely unfamiliar with this cultivation technique.

He merely regarded it as an enhanced version of the Red Marrow Primordial Qi, a more efficient body refinement martial art, capable of more effectively training the physique.

However, after he forcefully practiced the entire cultivation technique in a haphazard manner, he developed his own understanding of this body refinement martial art.

Spring and Autumn Endless Zen Level 1 (0/10)

Scenes of practicing the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen flowed through his mind, and the various mistakes encountered during cultivation, along with the memories formed, appeared in his thoughts.

All of this made it seem like, in a brief moment, he had experienced the entire process of cultivating the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen from Level 0 to Level 1.

It was only after such cultivation that he understood this body refinement martial art was quite different from the Red Marrow Primordial Qi.

But Zhang Yu did not immediately report to the examiners to prove that he had mastered the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen.

“Too abrupt, too ostentatious.”

“High profile without strength…

that’s just like hanging oneself.”

Zhang Yu believed that anyone seeing his awkward and clumsy attempts on the first try would be suspicious if he suddenly exhibited expertise on the second attempt, suspecting that he had some kind of advantage.

As someone whose potential was awakened by the Evil God, Zhang Yu didn’t want to attract the True Gods’ curiosity.

So he began the second round of practice again.

Recalling the recently emerged…

cultivation experience from Level 0 to Level 1 in his mind.

Zhang Yu then pretended to be somewhat unfamiliar again and began this second round of cultivation.

Only this time it already showed some form compared to the first round.

In Zhang Yu’s mind, the nuances of the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen continually emerged, as well as the differences between this body refinement martial art and the Red Marrow Primordial Qi.

The first step was to condense a stream of long-life mana.

Then Zhang Yu sat cross-legged on the ground, as he twisted his upper body backward and touched the ground with both hands, his internal organs also twisted and pressed against each other, exerting force in the process.

“The Spring and Autumn Endless Zen comprises forty-nine forms, each form exercises different parts of the body, refining the flesh, bones, and internal organs all over the body.”

“With the infusion of long-life mana, it can expel the residues and impurities left in the body after training, while purifying the flesh, speed up the body’s recovery.”

The next moment, as the long-life mana surged toward his internal organs, Zhang Yu felt the organs that had just been exercised becoming relaxed.

Zhang Yu thought to himself: “If the forty-nine forms of body refinement movements are akin to the autumn’s desolation, representing the wear and tear of the physical body…”

“Then the long-life mana is like the spring’s renewal, meant for the repair and regrowth of the flesh.”

“One is spring, one is autumn, one brings life, one brings death, nourishing the physical body to become stronger between life and death.”

Particularly, Zhang Yu could understand that with each rotation through the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen, the accumulated medicinal toxins and pill toxins in the internal organs would be gradually expelled.

Zhang Yu now had a deep understanding of the Immortal Path of Kunxu.

As the saying goes, three parts exercise, seven parts diet, and the remaining ninety parts depend on how you take medicine.

On the Immortal Path, taking medicine is as normal as eating and drinking.

But as long as medicine is taken, it’s unavoidable to leave behind impurities or even toxins.

And the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen expels impurities and toxins from the body during training, slowly repairing the damage caused by medication to the body.

In this way, even with the same physical strength, a practitioner of the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen will undoubtedly be healthier, with more abundant blood and energy, regardless of physical endurance or the explosive limit of strength will be higher.

Zhang Yu thought to himself: “What a divine technique, truly a divine technique.”

“If it weren’t too expensive and difficult, this Spring and Autumn Endless Zen should really be the holy body refinement technique taught in high school.”

“With this Spring and Autumn Endless Zen, pushing my physical strength to Level 10 will surely be effortless.”

At the same time, Zhang Yu also began the third round of practice with the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen.

This time, according to his cultivation experience, he improved his performance again, becoming more proficient, and his movements more standard.

…

Observing Zhang Yu, Huang Zichou raised an eyebrow and said: “This Zhang Yu is progressing so fast, he only practiced Spring and Autumn Endless Zen for the third time, and already has decent form.”

Meanwhile, the detection patch on Zhang Yu continuously uploaded various data regarding his physical strength and mana circulation.

After Huang Zichou compared this data with the standard data of the first layer of the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen, he reached a conclusion.

“Zhang Yu’s current performance data, in comparison to the normal operation data of Spring and Autumn Endless Zen Level 1, has roughly a 36% physical compatibility, and a 15% mana compatibility.”

Another Little God also nodded subtly: “Indeed, quite talented.”

“But it’s just the appearance for now.”

“The key to the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen lies in the coordination between the long-life mana and the forty-nine movements, involving the connection between various parts of the body and the metabolism of the internal organs, not as simple as it seems…”

Huang Zichou was also aware that while learning the movements could be quick, the internal force and mana circulation are not that simple.

This is evident from Zhang Yu’s physical compatibility being at 36%, and mana compatibility at 15%.

But as Zhang Yu proceeded to the fourth and fifth rounds, Huang Zichou’s face showed increasing astonishment.

Especially while observing the movements concurrently, Huang Zichou kept monitoring the various data transmitted from Zhang Yu’s detection patch.

Physical compatibility 58%, mana compatibility 33%

Physical compatibility 69%, mana compatibility 56%

“The progress is remarkably fast.”

“Every time I practice, it’s like being reborn, just like an ordinary high school student practicing for a few months.”

“Is Zhang Yu’s talent really this terrifying?”

Meanwhile, Zhang Yu’s rapid progress quickly attracted the attention of other Little Gods, even Deng Bingding.

A Little God exclaimed, “On the sixth round…

body compatibility at 87%, mana compatibility at 79%?”

Huang Zichou said, “Moreover, his movements are getting faster and faster.

Whether it’s his body or mana, he’s consciously and actively making adjustments.”

“This indicates that during his practice, he knows exactly where he’s going wrong, where his errors lie, and even better, how to correct them and get on the right path.”

“Especially, once he corrects a mistake, he never makes it again.

This level of body control is incredibly astonishing.”

“Does he really have no Magic Remains?

No special bloodline?”

At the same time, Zhang Yu had already begun his seventh round of practice.

This time, from the first move of practicing Spring and Autumn Endless Zen, body compatibility and mana compatibility were at 100%.

With the subsequent second move, third move, fourth move…

as each was executed, neither body compatibility nor mana compatibility ever dropped once.

When he completed the forty-ninth move of Spring and Autumn Endless Zen, the gods looked at the 100% compatibility data and realized Zhang Yu had succeeded.

He had completely mastered the first level of Spring and Autumn Endless Zen.

As the gods were astonished, Deng Bingding casually asked, “How much time?”

Huang Zichou rushed to reply, “32 minutes and 15 seconds.”

Meanwhile, Zhang Yu raised his hand toward the examiners and said, “Examiners, I’m done.”

Then, under everyone’s gaze, he calmly said, “I’ve mastered it.”

Seeing Huang Zichou approaching, Zhang Yu respectfully asked, “Hello, Examiner, do you need me to demonstrate it once?”

Huang Zichou shook his head, “No need.

We’ve already received your data, and there’s indeed no problem.

Please go to the rest room over there to rest first, so you don’t affect the other students in the exam hall.”

Thus, Zhang Yu walked to the rest room to the side, letting out a sigh of relief internally, “This round of the exam should be considered passed, right?”

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu’s tension finally found relief, and he collapsed onto a chair, wanting nothing more than a good rest.

The months of cultivation, the relentless hard work, the accumulated fatigue of each day…

seemed to finally find a moment of respite.

At this moment, Zhang Yu only wanted to rest well today and preferably start preparing for the second round of exams tomorrow.

However, as soon as he sat down, even before he was fully settled, a chill rose in his heart.

Listening to the countdown of the ceremony, Zhang Yu sighed helplessly.

“This damn thing.”

After sitting for another five seconds, Zhang Yu slowly got up and continued practicing Spring and Autumn Endless Zen.

…

Zhang Yu’s success and departure naturally influenced the candidates present.

Just like seeing someone submit an exam paper early, many students present inevitably had different thoughts.

Dai Xingzhi watched Zhang Yu’s disappearing figure and thought to himself, “Only half an hour has passed?

He mastered it so quickly?

Could it be a three-star difficulty or four-star difficulty cultivation technique?”

Ye Lingxiao also checked the time and thought to himself, “32 minutes?

Did he deliberately choose a low-star difficulty cultivation technique?”

He didn’t think much further and continued focusing on his Infinite Sword Technique cultivation.

Like Dai Xingzhi and Ye Lingxiao, most students assumed Zhang Yu had chosen a relatively low-star cultivation technique, which seemed to them the most probable reason.

But on the other side, when Yun Jing looked at Zhang Yu’s disappearing figure, the Magic Remains’ eyes floated over with a number 1,550,000.

This was Yun Jing’s Magic Remains judging the cultivation technique as he glimpsed Zhang Yu practicing.

“A cultivation technique with a price of 1,550,000?” Yun Jing thought, and the basic data about Spring and Autumn Endless Zen emerged in his mind.

“Spring and Autumn Endless Zen, according to my previous memory, is rated by True Gods as an eight-star difficulty cultivation technique.”

Yun Jing’s eyes narrowed, amazed in his heart, “32 minutes, and it’s mastered, an eight-star difficulty cultivation technique?”

“Can I do it?”

Yun Jing estimated slightly, and the answer appeared in his mind.

“I can’t do it.”

“Is this guy’s martial arts ability stronger than mine?”

“But chooses a Body Refinement martial art with eight-star difficulty?

If he chose a ten-star or a nine-star cultivation technique, he could also succeed, right.”

“In this exam, the difficulty coefficient is more important than time; is he not at all interested in striving for the first place?”

Yun Jing was utterly unable to comprehend.

Especially him, as a top scholar in Xiandu City, had never stopped pursuing the first place since childhood.

The behavior of number 55 (Zhang Yu) seemed extremely strange to him.

“Clearly having the chance to compete for first place, but willingly giving it up?

Why?”

Yun Jing shook his head, temporarily suppressing his doubts, and continued to focus on his Senluo Wanxiang Palm cultivation, though it was ultimately a bit affected by Zhang Yu’s actions.
