220: Chapter 220: Trials, Resources, Acquisition of Secret Techniques, Bounty

After pondering for a moment, Wang An spoke.

"I naturally welcome all of you who wish to practice my extraordinary system. I am currently in need of many excellent disciples to spread my Daoist teachings far and wide and to perfect my lineage."

He then drew the magic sword from his waist, which floated in the air. Its body was intertwined with cold energy and lightning, with a sword intent that could freeze thoughts circulating within it.

He looked at the seven of them and said.

"To become my true disciple, the first priority is talent, followed by character, and finally, perseverance."

"You seven have two choices. If you can comprehend your own true intent from this sword intent of mine, you can directly become my true disciple."

"Of course, it does not matter if you fail to comprehend it. Since you are all young and have already become primary-stage extraordinary beings, your talent must be quite good. During my time with the Bronze Human Race, I will observe you with my divine abilities. If your actions and character meet my expectations, you may first become my named disciples, and you will still have a chance to switch to my system in the future."

After speaking, Wang An left the magic sword there, leaving those present looking at each other in dismay.

Before they could say anything, Wang An continued to discuss the Dao and exchange ideas with the other intermediate-stage beings.

Those capable of achieving the extraordinary are naturally not fools; the opportunity is right before them, and it depends on whether they can seize it.

Since there is a standard, they just need to do their best to meet it.

The young girl in the lotus-patterned dress quickly put away her large Bronze sword, entered the range of the magic sword's intent, and sat cross-legged to meditate and comprehend.

The others followed suit, forming a large circle around the magic sword, carefully sensing the lightning and cold sword intent within it.

Wang An and the other intermediate-stage powerhouses left behind a strand of their mental energy and Yin Spirit thought to observe them.

These people carefully touched it with their mental energy. The sword intent followed their mental energy and instantly froze the young girl in the lotus-patterned dress, causing her body to stiffen. Fortunately, the transmitted sword intent was controlled at the primary stage level, and an amulet on her body activated, dispelling this icy true intent.

The girl, having regained her senses, continued to perceive and make contact with her mental energy, repeating this process.

There were also other boys and girls whose mental energy barely touched the sword intent before their bodies were paralyzed by intertwined lightning. After recovering, they gathered their courage and continued to meditate.

At this moment, Wang An asked Gaoyang Zhenkong.

"After I finish discussing the Dao, I would like to ask Senior Gaoyang to allow me to leave behind a strand of sword intent. From now on, anyone who can comprehend the true intent may come to me to become my disciple. I wonder what Senior Gaoyang thinks of this?"

Gaoyang Zhenkong stroked his beard, squinted at the sword intent on the magic sword, and smiled.

"If Fellow Daoist Tianhe can leave behind a strand of sword intent, that is naturally something we desire; there is no reason to refuse."

"As for taking on disciples, there are many primary-stage extraordinary beings within our Bronze Academy. Perhaps some have talents that do not lie within the Bronze Sacrifice System, and we would be very happy to see them transfer to other extraordinary systems of our Three Human Races."

"You might not know, Fellow Daoist, but our Bronze Academy has also opened several elementary extraordinary courses for the Silver and Gold races. We also send some talented individuals there, and the academies of the other two races do the same. We must not bury such good seedlings."

Unexpectedly, the cooperation between the academies of Three Human Races had reached such a level that they were mutually sending "exchange students."

There was no concern for taboos regarding the right to preach the Dao; instead, both sides shared resources and had formal learning channels.

"That is true. Unlike the conventional era of mortals, most of those who can achieve the primary or intermediate stages of the extraordinary are naturally not fools. Maximizing the utilization and discovery of talent is something they have always been trying to achieve in every possible way."

"Only in this way can a civilization ensure long-lasting prosperity. After all, even if a high-stage master has emerged, if there are problems with the reserve training system, and the master leaves after 800,000 years, the lack of successors will inevitably lead to being targeted by other civilizations and races."

"Therefore, for a civilization or race, having an orderly succession where the strongest exist in every generation is the greatest stability."

At this moment, Wang An remembered something and asked Vice Dean Gaoyang Zhenkong, who was beside him.

"Senior Gaoyang, you previously mentioned that there are law resources to help with comprehending laws. I wonder where one can find these related secret arts and resources?"

"I see that the highest-level trading malls on the Galactic Network only have ordinary second-tier high-grade resources, with absolutely nothing involving matters related to laws."

In response, Gaoyang Zhenkong took out his bracelet communicator and sent an invitation link to Wang An. Wang An looked at the invitation link on his bracelet and clicked on it.

Only then did he say.

"Under normal circumstances, there will not be information of this kind on the network. The Galactic Network is relatively safe for most primary and intermediate-stage beings, and there is no need to mention high-stage masters."

"However, some beings have strange methods that can still spy on a user's communication coordinates. Therefore, generally speaking, for matters involving precious and rare law resources and secret arts above intermediate-stage level 3, they are usually conducted through internal transactions or offline transactions."

Gaoyang Zhenkong pointed at the Incarnation, and the communicator projected the Bronze Academy's internal resource trading platform, [Qingyi Building].

"This is the trading platform for the teachers and students within our Bronze Academy. You can post the resources you want on it or trade with others. There are also some bounty lists from our Bronze Academy here; completing these can also earn you the rewarded resources."

Wang An clicked on the section, and various resources, secret arts, knowledge, and trading information were displayed.

Wang An directly selected the intermediate-stage level 3 resource trading section.

A newly posted resource trading message made Wang An unable to help but smile.

"Jiuli Bingjian: Which fellow Daoist has information, resources, secret arts for brewing, or related clues regarding wine-related laws? I am purchasing at a high price here and have a long-term need."

Below were other trading posts.

"Shennong Yinmu: Who has spiritual plants with metal-type law mysteries from other extraordinary systems? [Spirit Sacrifice Path] is offering to exchange them for spiritual plants of the same stage that possess law mysteries."

"Gonggong Hanhai: Trading water-type law mysteries metal ores related to water-type laws for spiritual water with water-type law mysteries."

"Zhurong Yanhuo: Trading spiritual fire with law mysteries related to fire-type laws for secret arts with fire-type law mysteries."

"..."

Looking at these messages, Wang An was also extremely envious, but unfortunately, he only had the strength of an intermediate-stage level 1, and he did not have equivalent resources to exchange for them.

"Alas, what can I do?"

He then clicked on the bounty section of the Bronze Academy, where additional bounties were usually offered to solve a series of difficult problems.

It encouraged powerhouses with external channels to find solutions, which was usually also the channel for most powerhouses who had just entered intermediate-stage level 3 to seek law resources.

Upon entering this section, the first bounty was for a method to condense the true intent of laws, trading for law resources of the same level or secret arts for condensing law mysteries.

Upon looking at the poster, good heavens, it was Gaoyang Zhenkong right next to Wang An.

Wang An said somewhat helplessly to Gaoyang Zhenkong.

"Senior, you are whetting my appetite. I do not know how much longer it will take for this method of condensing my sword intent to reach the level of laws. I am afraid I will need to wait until I am at intermediate-stage level 3 for it to be possible."

Gaoyang Zhenkong looked indifferent, then thought of something and said solemnly.
