474: Chapter 473 Information about the Prodigy!

"The consumption for the Five Elements Primordial Scripture is getting higher and higher."

Qin Yan looked at the 35% progress on his panel, his brow furrowing slightly.

Since breaking through to the fifth grade, he could gain 80 Skill Points by training for four hours a day, which was double his previous efficiency.

He had been training hard during this period, using almost every available second, and had poured all the Skill Points he obtained into the Five Elements Primordial Scripture.

Even so, the progress had only increased from 25% to 35%.

"However, 35% isn't without its gains."

Qin Yan said, slowly raising both hands.

His left hand opened, and a strand of golden True Qi slowly condensed in his palm.

That was the Taibai Sharp Gold True Qi, sharp and piercing, with a metallic luster.

As the True Qi condensed, the faint sound of clashing metal echoed, as if countless swords were vibrating.

His right hand opened, and a strand of green True Qi slowly condensed in his palm.

That was the Yimu Longevity True Qi, brimming with vitality and the emerald green of spring.

As the True Qi flowed, the faint scent of growing vegetation permeated the air, making one feel refreshed.

Then, he slowly brought his hands together.

There was no violent repulsion.

No energy riot.

They merely trembled slightly before beginning to fuse!

Gold and green intertwined, gradually merging into one to form a brand-new, gold-green intertwined True Qi!

That True Qi possessed both the sharpness of gold and the vitality of wood.

It hovered in Qin Yan's palm, emitting an eerie yet profound aura—as if it could cut through everything, yet also as if it could bring life to everything.

Gold and wood Fusion.

He withdrew the mass of gold-green True Qi, and with a thought, acted again.

In his left hand, he again condensed Taibai Sharp Gold True Qi.

In his right hand, this time it was Xuan Ming True Water Qi.

Gold and water, Fusion!

The gold-blue intertwined True Qi emitted an eerie aura where sharpness and flexibility coexisted.

Gold and fire, Fusion!

The gold-red intertwined True Qi was scorching and sharp, as if it could incinerate all things...

Qin Yan displayed them one by one and then withdrew them one by one.

"Now, besides the initial water and fire Fusion, I have also mastered three other Fusions: gold-wood, gold-water, and gold-fire."

He calculated silently in his heart.

With the Five Elements, fusing them in pairs results in a total of ten variations. (Is the calculation C5-2 correct, guys?)

Gold-wood, gold-water, gold-fire, gold-earth, wood-water, wood-fire, wood-earth, water-fire, fire-earth, and water-earth.

He had now mastered nearly half of them.

"Once I have mastered all the variations of dual-attribute Fusion, I can attempt to break through to triple-attribute Fusion. By then, the Bottleneck for the sixth grade will be broken."

Qin Yan estimated in his mind.

The sign of reaching Perfection in the first layer of the Five Elements Primordial Scripture is mastering the Realm of Five Elements Fusion.

That isn't just dual Fusion, but the perfect Fusion of all five attributes—the Supreme Realm where the Five Elements return to one.

He still had a long way to go before reaching that Realm.

Then, Qin Yan withdrew his True Qi and his gaze landed on the Spear Dao column.

[Spear Dao: Sixth Stage Spear Intent (45%) Spear Intent: Destructions End Spear Intent (Fourth Grade)]

Seeing the progress as high as 45%, Qin Yan smiled faintly and then stopped caring.

Because even if this progress reached 100%, he would not make a Breakthrough.

Above Spear Intent, there was an even higher Realm—Spear Domain.

That is turning Spear Intent into a Domain; with a single thought, everything within the Domain becomes a world of spears.

That Realm's power far exceeds Spear Intent and is the ultimate goal dreamed of by countless Spear Dao Martial Artists.

But he would not break through now.

Once he broke through, his Foundation would be ruined!

How could a Domain condensed from a fourth-grade Spear Intent compare to those High Grade Spear Intents (first to third grade) or even supreme grade Spear Intents?

It was a gap in quality, an unbridgeable chasm.

What he wanted was not a fourth-grade Spear Domain, but a first grade Spear Domain, or even a Supreme Spear Domain.

Therefore, he had to raise the grade of his Spear Intent to the absolute limit during the Spear Intent stage before considering a Breakthrough.

Although this process would be very long and consume countless amounts of time and energy, he was willing to wait.

The path of martial arts was originally a long journey of cultivation.

One cannot be anxious or impatient.

"The comprehension of Spear Intent can wait until the sixth grade to be perfected. The current priority is the big exam at the end of the month."

Qin Yan muttered to himself, moving his gaze away from the panel.

While improving Spear Intent was important, it was a long-term plan.

What was imminent was the upcoming end-of-month assessment.

He had already seen the relevant information in his token.

The Outer Court of Taixuan Academy held an assessment every month.

The method of assessment was simple—combat.

The winner would be promoted, and the loser would be demoted.

Special Grade Disciples possessed a specific privilege: they would only be demoted if they lost to a lower-ranked Disciple for three consecutive months.

Note, it was 'lost to a lower-ranked Disciple for three consecutive months.'

In other words, if he lost this month, as long as he won next month, he would be fine.

Only if he lost to a Disciple of a lower Rank than himself for three months in a row would his status as a Special Grade Disciple be demoted to first grade.

This was a privilege exclusive to Special Grade Disciples.

Such a rule could be said to give Special Grade Disciples a certain margin for error.

Losing to lower-ranked Disciples for three consecutive months proved that your talent and strength were indeed unworthy of the Special Grade Disciple status, making demotion only natural.

Disciples of other Ranks were not so lucky.

unranked, third grade, second grade, and first grade—no matter the Rank, losing once would result in an immediate drop in Rank.

Except for the unranked, as there was nowhere lower to fall.

One had to win to move up and would fall if they lost; it was cruel and direct.

"Therefore, the big exam at the end of the month must be taken seriously."

Qin Yan thought secretly to himself.

Although he had a three-month error margin, he couldn't afford to be careless.

Who among those who could enter the Taixuan Holy Land wasn't a person of extraordinary talent?

At this thought, Qin Yan's Mental Energy couldn't help but seep into the token.

The token contained its own space, storing a vast amount of information.

With a thought, he found the directory for the classification of New Students in the East Courtyard.

Special Grade Disciples: 113 people.

The list was as follows:

Xiao Tianci: Taixuan Realm — Xiao Clan
