187: Chapter 187 Meaningless! Reach the Top!

Zhang Yang's Primordial Spirit Power swept out, taking the contents of the Martial Skill into his mind and recording them into the System panel.

"A Heaven Rank Low-Grade Martial Skill? The difficulty is around upper-mid tier, not bad!"

"Unfortunately, it's meaningless to me."

Zhang Yang looked over the contents of the Martial Skill and nodded slightly.

Afterward.

"System! Simplify it for me!"

The next moment! The Martial Skill was simplified into a series of movements.

Inside Zhang Yang's Grotto-Heaven,

His tens of thousands of Blood Drop Cloness began to practice this series of movements frantically.

As for himself, he began to observe the surroundings of the room.

It was just a Heaven Rank Low-Grade Martial Skill,

Zhang Yang's Blood Drop Cloness wouldn't even need half a day to practice it to the Perfection Realm.

Zhang Yang walked to the stone tablet in front of him and reached out to tap it. The material of the tablet was peculiar and felt quite extraordinary.

"Is this another space? As expected of a Heaven Rank supreme treasure, I didn't even feel the sensation of teleportation."

Looking at the room around him, Zhang Yang couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Normally, if someone with Zhang Yang's cultivation level used a Teleportation Array in the Middle Continent, there would be a noticeable sensation of teleportation.

But this spatial teleportation of the ladder was silent and imperceptible.

Not even a split second had passed before the space changed... In less than half a day, that Heaven Rank Low-Grade Martial Skill had already been cultivated to the Perfection Realm by Zhang Yang!

Zhang Yang came before the stone tablet and circulated his magic power, activating that Heaven Rank Low-Grade Martial Skill at the Perfection Realm!

Boom!

Zhang Yang struck the stone tablet with a punch!

Instantly, various lights flashed on the stone tablet, returning to tranquility after a moment.

Two words slowly emerged on the stone tablet.

Perfect!

The next instant,

"Test has reached Perfection; this stage ends early!"

"Congratulations on passing the third stage. Your performance was absolutely perfect; you have reached the 9,300th step."

Zhang Yang watched as he returned to the ladder and nodded slightly.

Before the voice could say anything more, he stepped directly onto the next level.

The fourth stage!

The fifth stage!

The sixth stage!

All the way to the seventh stage!

Zhang Yang still passed very easily, and his performance remained absolutely perfect!

Zhang Yang had now reached the 9,960th step!

Zhang Yang took another step, and the ninth stage arrived as expected.

A Secret Manual, a stone tablet.

Zhang Yang's Primordial Spirit swept over it, and he immediately knew the contents of the Secret Manual—it was actually a heaven tier mid-grade Martial Skill!

"Now this is alright!"

Zhang Yang smiled slightly; he didn't expect to actually obtain a heaven tier mid-grade Martial Skill here!

One must know that there weren't many Martial Skills of this grade in the entire Middle Continent.

They only circulated among Dao Slaying Realm Experts.

With a thought, Zhang Yang finished simplifying the Martial Skill.

As expected of a heaven tier mid-grade Martial Skill, the simplified movements were at least ten times more numerous than those of the heaven tier low-grade one!

However, Zhang Yang didn't panic at all.

The time limit for this challenge was half a year, which was more than enough for him to push this heaven tier mid-grade Martial Skill to the Perfection Realm!

The next instant,

Inside the Grotto-Heaven, the five elements clones and those Blood Drop Cloness began to Cultivate this heaven tier mid-grade Martial Skill together.

Outside the Grotto-Heaven, Zhang Yang's main body was no exception and continued to Cultivate!

Although the time limit was half a year, through the previous stages, Zhang Yang

also knew that time was a criterion for testing performance.

If he could Cultivate to Perfection as quickly as possible, he should!

With Zhang Yang's main body, the five elements clones, and tens of thousands of Blood Drop Cloness cultivating together, progress skyrocketed!

Even for this heaven tier mid-grade Martial Skill,

fifteen days later, Zhang Yang still cultivated it to the Perfection Realm.

"As expected of a heaven tier mid-grade Martial Skill! It actually took me fifteen days!"

Zhang Yang stopped and couldn't help but marvel.

One must know that he could Cultivate dozens of Heaven Rank Low-Grade Martial Skills to the Perfection Realm in a single day!

He hadn't expected this heaven tier mid-grade Martial Skill to cost him fifteen days!

Of course, a marvel was just a marvel.

After marveling, Zhang Yang stood up directly, circulated his magic power according to the Martial Skill's route, and punched the stone tablet!

"Test has reached Perfection; this stage ends early!"

"Congratulations on passing the ninth stage. Your performance was absolutely perfect; you have reached the 9,990th step."

"Exit here to receive all previous rewards, as well as the cultivation Breakthrough method for the Due Realm."

"Do you wish to exit?"

"Once you exit, you cannot re-enter!"

Hearing the ethereal voice, Zhang Yang raised an eyebrow.

One had to reach the 9,990th step to obtain the cultivation method for the Due Realm!

No wonder people before couldn't get it from the ascending heaven ladder; the difficulty was too high!

"I wonder how many challenge stages are left?"

"Logically speaking, the last ten steps should have at most 10 challenges, right?"

Zhang Yang looked at the top of the ladder, which was close at hand, and chuckled softly.

He took a step forward, starting the next challenge!

In the next moment, Zhang Yang arrived inside a room.

A mirror stood before him, clearly reflecting his image.

Suddenly!

The Zhang Yang inside the mirror smiled slightly:

"Zhang Yang, aren't you afraid?"

"Think about it, your simplification system?"

"Without it, could you have reached this stage?"

"Could there be a mastermind behind this System?"

"Could it be that once you Cultivate to a certain Realm, you'll become the System's Puppet?"

...The Zhang Yang in the mirror spoke incessantly,

every word and sentence pointing directly at the System Zhang Yang had relied on until now!

Listening to what his mirror self said and seeing his mirror self's frantic appearance,

outside, Zhang Yang's expression was indifferent.

"Is this reading my thoughts?"

"Or is it manifesting based on what I fear in my heart?"

Zhang Yang looked at the mirror with some interest.

"It should be reading my thoughts, right?"

Zhang Yang speculated.

As for the simplification system, Zhang Yang wasn't afraid at all; it was just using some cheats.

Which powerhouse in the myriad Realms doesn't use cheats?

It was just a simplification system; could it be considered that powerful of a cheat?

In Zhang Yang's view, it was only a tiny bit more convenient than a proficiency System.

As for any mastermind, Zhang Yang was even less afraid.

He might even say that this System was possibly sent back by his future self from beyond the timeline.

Before reaching a certain level of cultivation, thinking about these things was meaningless.

The words of his mirror self couldn't shake his conviction at all.

Seeing that its words were fruitless, the image in the mirror began to change again.

But it was still useless; Zhang Yang's state of mind didn't fluctuate at all.

Finally, the mirror shattered instantly, and Zhang Yang returned to the ladder.

"Congratulations, the tenth test has been completed. Your performance was absolutely perfect; you have reached the 9,999th step of the ten-thousand-step ladder!"

That ethereal voice rang out again!

Accompanied by yet another inquiry.

Asking if Zhang Yang wished to exit now!

And take all the previous rewards!

The corners of Zhang Yang's mouth curled up slightly as he took a step and ascended to that 10,000th step!

The next instant, Zhang Yang only felt boundless pressure coming at him,

as streaks of divine light shone from all directions!

Every streak of divine light was scanning everything about him!

Making him feel as if everything he currently possessed was being illuminated by this divine light!

Ten seconds later, everything returned to tranquility!

"The eleventh test is complete; Aptitude meets the standard!"
