174: Ranking battle

After a long talk with Shen Zhengqing, Chu Yuan gained a lot; but he could not listen to everything he said.

At the very least, in the short term, Chu Yuan did not think he had the ability to create his own Immortal Dao Cultivation Technique, and even if he could, the level would be far from enough.

Those powerhouses chose to create their own Cultivation Techniques because there was no path forward, but he was far from reaching that stage...

However, how was he supposed to complete the Golden Core Great Dao Song?

By drawing inferences from others, merging the essence of various schools, wouldn't he end up creating some weird, unrecognizable monstrosity?

Or perhaps, just switch to another Cultivation Technique, choosing a second-tier one...

Yes, Chu Yuan had exchanged for Cultivation Techniques created by others in the Ninth Realm. After conversion, although they were much stronger than the Star Qi Guidance Method, there was still a clear gap compared to the Golden Core Great Dao Song.

Previously, he had only assumed that there were differences in strength among the Ninth Realm, but after listening to Shen Zhengqing, he realized it was because the other Cultivation Techniques he exchanged for were not in the same league as the Martial God Scroll...

Or, use the dumbest method: comprehend the Law!

When reaching the depths, everything would naturally fall into place...

...

"Chu Yuan, you've finally finished Cultivating!" Tian Tian was waiting outside Chu Yuan's courtyard and came up to greet him as soon as she saw him;

Chu Yuan nodded: "What's the matter?"

Tian Tian smiled, two dimples appearing on her face: "Nothing much, just came to talk to you about some things in the school... I'm treating you to a meal."

"Let's go..."

Although Shendu Martial Academy didn't have many people, it was very large;

Walking out, Chu Yuan noticed they 'ran into' a lot of people.

Some he recognized, but most he didn't;

At first, Chu Yuan thought they were coming for Tian Tian, until he realized something was wrong later.

Those people were mostly looking at him with scrutiny and wariness...

Could it be that even though I've never shown my face in school, there are legends about me circulating?

He even saw an acquaintance...

"Brother Dragon, I reckon you'll be able to Breakthrough to the Divine Power Realm next semester, right?"

"Exactly, exactly. By then, there won't be many upperclassmen who are your match!"

Pang Long was noncommittal and said with regret: "It's a pity, there are no more Sky Cleansing Pills..."

There was a quota for Sky Cleansing Pills exchanged in the Outer Heaven Battlefield;

After returning, Pang Long was surprised to find that those who had been eliminated in the training camp long ago were also eligible to exchange for Sky Cleansing Pills!

It's just that they didn't use military merit, but school points... Although the danger wasn't great, the difficulty was not small, but it was still a path;

So, Pang Long spent a large sum of money to buy some to maintain the rapid improvement of his Realm...

But he wasn't the only one doing this, and once this batch of Sky Cleansing Pills was exhausted, there would really be none left.

How could such a treasure that could eliminate the Impurities of martial arts Medicinal Pills be sold to them so cheaply? It was originally a benefit specifically for members of the Jianmu Project!

If you want more later, it's not that you can't afford it, but that you can't buy it at all... Great Qin only customized this one batch.

"Even without Sky Cleansing Pills, with your strength, you are enough to be invincible among your peers!

Those juniors and Seniors, even if they have Cultivated for two years longer than you, have they joined the Jianmu Project? Have they fought and trained in the Outer Heaven Battlefield?"

The corner of Pang Long's mouth lifted slightly. Although he didn't speak, an expression of satisfaction appeared on his face...

"..." Chu Yuan was a bit speechless. He found that Pang Long seemed to have some obsession with the word 'invincible'.

"Is he having another episode?" Chu Yuan asked Tian Tian, not lowering his voice at all.

In the distance, Pang Long and his group naturally heard it;

Pang Long's face turned dark, and he turned to leave. Invincible, my foot... Chu Yuan was the highest mountain on his road to invincibility...

Instead, the person who had been fawning over him nearby rolled his eyes and said loudly: "Senior Chu Yuan! You've finally come out of seclusion!"

"... Since when did I become a Senior?"

Tian Tian couldn't help but chuckle: "I happen to know a bit about this. Pang Long practices a family Cultivation Technique; it emphasizes forging ahead, requiring the spirit of 'no one else but me', and has requirements for one's state of mind... Roughly speaking, the more overbearing one is, the faster one Cultivates."

Chu Yuan nodded: "No wonder... He raised my seniority; relative invincibility is also invincibility, right?"

"But people at your Realm are generally Seniors, right..." Tian Tian said uncertainly: "Pang Long is very strong. He is now in the top one hundred of the Ranking Battle leaderboard!

And he is the only freshman in the top one hundred."

"Top one hundred? So that's the hundredth place? Or the ninety-ninth? That's nothing special..."

Tian Tian emphasized: "It's the total ranking of all martial academies in Great Qin, regardless of grade~"

"What exactly is this Ranking Battle?" Chu Yuan realized that he had only walked around outside and found quite a few people talking about this thing;

The key was that the martial arts training content he had learned about before didn't have this either?

"It was just created this year, talked about at the freshman orientation. Oh right, you didn't go...

Anyway, it's the same nature as the leaderboard we had at the Snow Mountain training base. Of course, the benefits are definitely not as good.

People with higher rankings in the Ranking Battle can have priority in using the school's training facilities; for example, gravity rooms, enlightenment rooms, energy gathering rooms, and the like... The higher the ranking, the longer you can use them.

Besides, there are fixed martial arts resources distributed every month;

and also... well, priority in selecting tasks." Tian Tian explained: "This thing also has an impact on the school. The more students a school has on the overall Ranking Battle leaderboard, the greater the resource support it can enjoy! So the school also encourages us to participate..."

"How do so many people compete?"

"Of course, Martial Artists don't compete against Martial Artists, otherwise, with so many martial academies in the country, how could we get around to it...

It's in the form of clearing stages, fighting against combat Puppets. If you win, you enter the next stage;

if you fail at the same stage, it depends on who caused more damage to the Puppet and who persisted longer. There is a set of scoring standards.

Only after entering the top ten is there the qualification to challenge an Immortal Master." Tian Tian looked at Chu Yuan with a smile: "Do you want to go and try it too?"

"Not interested." Chu Yuan was a bit unenthusiastic;

There really wasn't any benefit that caught his eye...

He didn't need the training facilities in the school, and he wasn't lacking in martial arts resources.

If he had that time, he might as well Cultivate for a while longer. What if he figured out the continuation of the Golden Core Great Dao Song?

Tian Tian blinked: "It is said that Great Qin is going to form the Tenth Legion!

Everyone in the Ranking Battle is a reserve officer, and the first place might even take over as the Legion Commander~"

Chu Yuan was tempted for a moment, but only for a moment;

"Pfft~ Others become Legion Commanders because they are strong, not because they become strong after becoming Legion Commanders..."

"Anyway, before on the Outer Heaven Battlefield, when our squad finished our mission and handed over resources, we would withhold a portion... The resources controlled by the Legion Commander should be more, right?"

Chu Yuan thought to himself, you are slandering the glorious image of the Ninth Legion now~

But thinking of the style of the Bell Tower Squad and Vermilion Dragon, he really couldn't go against his conscience and refute Tian Tian's words...

"And, if you win the first place for a year, you are rewarded with a vial of myriad law source liquid!"

Chu Yuan looked respectful: "What kind of stuff is that, daring to have such a high-sounding name?"

This style... something is wrong...

"It can help a Martial Artist significantly increase their Comprehension Ability! Comprehend the Law more clearly! It is known as... the ticket to the Seventh Realm!" Tian Tian had a trace of imperceptible yearning in her tone, but she also understood that such a treasure had nothing to do with her;

"So, are you still not participating?"

Chu Yuan licked his lips: "Now that you mention it..."
