You dare to cultivate without money?!-Chapter 64 - 47 Dispute_2

64 -47 Dispute_2
“This magic competition is going way beyond the curriculum.”
And coincidentally…
Zhang Yu looked at the Yu Shu floating beside him and found no change in it.
“Isn’t this supposed to be a cultivation technique?”
“Then I’ll just have to practice it forcefully and see.”
Zhang Yu gathered the mana in his dantian and began to cautiously operate according to the meridian chart.
Meanwhile.
At the location of Purple Cloud High School.
Lian Tianji looked at Le Mulan in the distance, noticing her confident demeanor, and thought to himself, “The sacred top student will definitely achieve remarkable results.
What I need is not to drag behind, to prop up our school’s total score…”
Le Mulan glanced at the meridian chart in front of her and suddenly tilted her head, “I think I’ve practiced something similar to this before.”
“Let me think…
this is the Protective Gang Qi of martial arts, right?”
She directed the mana within her body and indeed, skillfully began to transform strands of mana into the special magic power indicated on the meridian chart.
Protective Gang Qi, transformed from mana, is considered a special magic power of the martial arts system in the Immortal Path system established by the Ten Major Sects.
Le Mulan remembered that to convert mana into Protective Gang Qi, mana oscillation was necessary, and the higher the quality of the Protective Gang Qi, the more oscillations were required.
“Each mana oscillation enhances the quality of the Gang Qi formed from mana, but makes it harder to control.”
“According to the instructions in this chart, it requires 7 mana oscillations, and then operation along the route…”
Suddenly, her brows furrowed slightly.
Listening to the groans and cries of pain not far away, she felt it was quite noisy.
These were some students who had been injured during the last competition when resolving mana, and their injuries hadn’t healed yet, so initiating the meridian operation aggravated the injuries.
“These students from ordinary high schools, can’t they consume some decent healing medicine?”
“Even if they can’t afford good ones, can’t they at least buy pain relievers of a better quality?”
Thinking of this, Le Mulan suddenly realized that these poor students from ordinary high schools might really not be able to afford expensive pain relievers.
This is the sound of poverty.
“It’s affecting my exam.”
But Le Mulan knew that money’s power could isolate the sound of poverty.
She reached out and grabbed, already donning a pair of soundproof earmuffs worth tens of thousands on her head, enjoying the finally quiet environment, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth as she resumed mana conversion.
…
On the other side, at White Dragon High School, Song Halong stared at the meridian chart in his hands while his entire mana naturally flowed, as if moving with his thoughts, gradually aligning with the instructions on the chart.
Long-term practice of mana operation with the Heavenly Spirit Root made him highly proficient in controlling mana even without it now.
The questions in front of him were also ones he had practiced many similar kinds of beforehand, making his actions more proficient and much faster.
Boom!
A surge of mana in the dantian suddenly scattered under a strong oscillation, then was slowly gathered again by Song Halong.
“First mana oscillation, complete!”
“Simple!
Simple!
Simple!
Too simple!”
My parents have the finest genes after thousands of selections.
Since I was 5 years old, I haven’t needed to sleep.
Now at 18, year after year I’ve been the highest performer, highest scorer, and strongest physique among my peers in the Song Family!
I’m also the only one who hasn’t attempted suicide, disliked learning, or gotten depressed!
I’m the ace son of the Song Family!
“You trash in this arena, what makes you think you can compete with me!”
At this moment, he was fully committed, without any distractions, solely aiming to master the technique on the diagram quickly and trample all the top students of the other two prestigious schools underfoot.
…
Meanwhile, in Red Tower High School, Xiong Bufan was lying in front of the meridian chart, his eyes tightly closed, his fluffy tail trembling slightly, apparently having reached a critical moment in his practice.
The competition coach watching beside him thought, “During the time Bufan’s batch was in the breeding base, they started medicating them from the womb, and before entering high school, his physique was the most outstanding.”
“When the school picked him up from the breeding base in the reserve, his meridian toughness was already more than ten times that of ordinary students, no need to worry about injury however he practiced the technique.”
“Since the beginning of enrollment, I’ve had him continually train his mana operation speed.”
“He’s also practiced the Protective Gang Qi training many times before.”
“He’ll definitely be the first to master this meridian chart.”
“Indeed, the principal should naturalize more demons…
I mean, enlist more demon descendant students.”
“Is just one enough?
I think adding four more in the competition team wouldn’t be an issue, those advocating for pure human teams are too conservative.
I’ve heard the neighboring city already has an all-demon…
I mean, all demon descendant setup.”
…
Zhang Yu had to admit, lacking relevant training and preparation, striving to earn a ranking in this round seemed an almost impossible feat for him.
The competition contests not only talent and quality but also the financial resources, power, and foundation behind it.
Damn!
Is this the end of my competition journey?
Zhang Yu!
Are you going to be defeated by money?
…
Not far away, Teacher Yan looked at Zhang Yu’s troubled expression, sighing silently in her heart.
Then she glanced at the other Songyang High School students around her, watching each either sweating profusely, looking pale, or appearing to be overly anxious and desperate, and she shook her head helplessly.
The students of Songyang High School were already not on par with the top students from the three prestigious schools, and after failing to achieve results in the magic competition for so long, the school simply stopped investing in this area.
Without the school’s investment, their results in the magic competition worsened further, naturally dissuading the school from further investments, creating a vicious cycle.
Teacher Yan understood that without robust support from the school, lacking relevant teaching and practice, they weren’t on the same starting line.
Just then, a student suddenly raised their hand, “I need to use the restroom.”
Teacher Yan cursed internally, thinking, “So you really did want to go.”
“Hurry up!”
Just then, Teacher Yan suddenly heard the sound of bones popping echoing from a side.
She turned to look and found that it was Bai Zhenzhen punching.
Has he given up in despair already?
This is a mana operation competition; why are you punching?
Zhang Yu was also drawn to the punching sounds and glanced over, sighing inwardly, “Alas, Azhen has lost it.”
Hmm?
Suddenly, Zhang Yu sensed that Bai Zhenzhen’s punches seemed oddly familiar and could possibly be combined with something.
This set of martial arts was straightforward, with only six moves, which he quickly finished observing before suddenly realizing.
This martial arts set seems to complement the meridian chart!
Seeing the Limitless Cloud Hand at level 0 emerging on the Yu Shu, Zhang Yu wished he could pick Bai Zhenzhen up and spin him around.
“Azhen!”
“You’re a saint!”
“The savior saint of Songyang High School!”
While the meridian chart illustrated the mana operation method, Bai Zhenzhen’s moves were external martial arts techniques.
Combining them created a complete combat martial art—Limitless Cloud Hand.
This is an advanced-level martial arts cultivation technique.
Yet, this technique emphasizes inner strength over external moves, focusing on the application of mana and how to convert mana into Protective Gang Qi.
The six external moves were more examples of application than actual moves.
This time, the magic competition had taken the meridian chart to use as a test question.
To the average person, with or without the external moves, they could learn the conversion method of Protective Gang Qi.
But for Zhang Yu, whether it was a complete technique and if it could enter the Yu Shu…
made a world of difference.
Zhang Yu didn’t know how Bai Zhenzhen comprehended the external moves, but he could only hurry now, immediately switching the Yu Shu’s specialization to Limitless Cloud Hand, and began practicing.
Limitless Cloud Hand level 0 (0/1, 15.4/5 mana)
Just once!
If he could practice once!
Even if full of errors and chaos, he could fully master the Limitless Cloud Hand!
