186: Mysterious Patterns and Mysterious Secrets

Miya-pasu took Miya-paranu to recognize her dormitory.

"Ah! Miya-pasu, your dorm is below mine!" Miya-paranu exclaimed in surprise when she saw Miya-pasu's dormitory.

"Eh?! Really, meow?!" Miya-pasu was also a little surprised, she didn't expect such a coincidence!

"It's true, meow!" Miya-paranu said happily, then led Miya-pasu upstairs, opened the dorm door, and verified it.

"That's great, meow!" Miya-pasu was extremely happy; she could continue to be with her childhood friend!

Miya-paranu was also very happy, so the two of them went to eat together.

After dinner, Miya-pasu and Miya-paranu chatted until it was a bit late, then they each returned to their dorms to rest, but they also agreed to train together tomorrow.

Before going to bed, Miya-pasu happily rolled around on the bed.

After rolling a few times, she hugged the soft and comfortable quilt and lay there, her ears twitching occasionally, and her fluffy tail wagging~

# = w = # ~ Meow ~

Her mood during the day had been up and down! Now that she had calmed down, she felt like she was dreaming.

"System~ are you there?" Miya-pasu couldn't help but call out.

【Beep~】

Miya-pasu, who received a response, was extremely happy, and she fell asleep while lying down.

The next day, Miya-pasu woke up and stretched comfortably.

The academy's basic courses had no restrictions or fixed times; as long as you went, there were specialized courses 24 hours a day, because each course had rotating teachers.

Of course, advanced courses, including various advanced techniques or potential abilities, had a class schedule that changed weekly, requiring students to check it themselves, and it would not wait if expired.

These teachers were not "24-hour" teachers, but rather some high-level Miya-pasu Warriors, or some Miya-pasu Warriors who were invited and couldn't be permanently stationed here.

What "cannot" meant was that they came to the academy only by invitation, invited to teach here during their rest time.

After teaching, they had to return to work or rest.

Miya-pasu finished washing up, then walked out of her dorm, just in time to see Miya-paranu coming down from upstairs.

"Miya-pasu! Good morning, meow!" Miya-paranu greeted Miya-pasu.

"Miya-paranu, what training do you want to do today?" Miya-pasu asked Miya-paranu.

"Emm~ first do some basic training. In the afternoon, there's a skill lesson called: Pouncing Strike. I plan to go and learn it," Miya-paranu thought for a moment and told Miya-pasu.

"Okay! Then I'll go with you too!" Miya-pasu nodded, and the two Miya-pasu went to train together.

...

Ling Jue Realm.

The Immortal Crane Sect had completely entered the right track, flourishing. Six outer disciples had successfully entered Foundation Establishment - Body Tempering, and learned White Crane Skill and White Crane Fist.

As for the subsequent Spirit Crane Skill and Spirit Crane Heart Sutra Skill, Lin Zifeng and Spiritual Crane Taoist planned to provide them to inner disciples and true disciples.

Spirit Crane Fist could be learned after White Crane Fist reached a proficient level of mastery.

And Lin Zifeng had also successfully broken through to the Tianqiao Realm.

Becoming the second Heavenly Bridge powerhouse of the Immortal Crane Sect!

After reaching the Tianqiao Realm, one had to start contemplating Mystic Marks and Mysterious Art.

Generally, body cultivators focused more on Mystic Marks, while spell cultivators focused on Mysterious Art.

Whether it was Mystic Marks or Mysterious Art, they were actually a type of cultivation technique. However, Mystic Marks were more like passive abilities (or semi-passive abilities that required active activation), while Mysterious Art was mostly active.

These could only be learned and used after Tianqiao, and they would be Run through to the end.

And the Shenyun Realm, which came after Tianqiao, was also a higher-level realm achieved by integrating one's essence, qi, and spirit with these cultivation techniques, Mystic Marks, and Mysterious Art, achieving unity of thought.

"Good disciple! You've finally entered the Tianqiao Realm too!" Spiritual Crane Taoist looked at Lin Zifeng also entering the Tianqiao Realm, and was immediately filled with relief. Although he had entered the Tianqiao Realm earlier than Lin Zifeng, he didn't have much more exploration in the Tianqiao Realm than Lin Zifeng.

"Mystic Marks and Mysterious Art, Master can't help you much... Either you comprehend them through cultivation techniques yourself, or you learn from existing ones. The more compatible with yourself, the better," Spiritual Crane Taoist told Lin Zifeng.

Similarly, this was also why sects were strong and had long legacies.

It was precisely because of this that the sect's cultivation techniques were basically a single path, part of a system, and the Mystic Marks and Mysterious Art were basically compatible.

So, if you joined a sect, you basically cultivated from beginning to end, without worrying about incompatibility or other aspects, and you didn't need to comprehend them yourself. Plus, with the sect's resources and connections, scattered cultivators were truly miserable in comparison. This was the advantage of sects.

"It's alright, Master! I'll check the system to see if there are any," Lin Zifeng smiled and told Spiritual Crane Taoist. He wasn't worried about this at all: "Just in time, it can also supplement our Immortal Crane Sect's..."

"Oh?! That's true! The power of the System!" Spiritual Crane Taoist nodded in realization upon hearing Lin Zifeng's words.

Lin Zifeng's source points had now accumulated to 3.22 million.

Lin Zifeng opened the mall and, with familiar ease, directly clicked on the recommendations.

Mist Subtle Peace Profound Tattoo (Beginner Mystic Mark): Increases speed, reduces one's presence to a certain extent, and shields others' perception. (source points 350,000)

Spirit Fire Trapping and Killing Mysterious Art (Beginner Mysterious Art): Casts spirit fire to trap and kill enemies. (source points 320,000)

Soaring Qi Great Strength Mystic Mark (Beginner Mystic Mark): Enhances strength, boosts vigor. (source points 330,000)

...

A bit expensive! Lin Zifeng looked at these Mystic Marks and Mysterious Art, most of which started at 100,000 source points.

But thinking about it, he felt it was right. Mystic Marks and Mysterious Art could only be used after Tianqiao, and each Mystic Mark and Mysterious Art was a "crystallization," specifically comprehended from various cultivation techniques, moves, and so on.

Some were even comprehended from heaven and earth.

They were all extremely powerful existences. Each Mystic Mark and Mysterious Art was a standard for measuring combat power above Tianqiao, and also the upper limit of combat power, because this thing could accumulate and stack!

Lin Zifeng picked and chose, finally spending almost all of his source points, exchanging them for a total of nine Mystic Marks and Mysterious Art:

Mist Spirit Strangling Mysterious Art (Beginner Mysterious Art - Attack)

Golden Profound Spirit Defense Profound Art (Beginner Mysterious Art - Body Protection)

Spirit Fire Trapping and Killing Mysterious Art (Beginner Mysterious Art - Trapping and Killing)

Gold Restraint Spirit Sealing Mysterious Art (Beginner Mysterious Art - Imprisonment)

Giant Bear Roar Profound Tattoo (Beginner Mystic Mark)

Mist Subtle Peace Profound Tattoo (Beginner Mystic Mark)

Spirit Sensing Qi Induction Profound Tattoo (Beginner Mystic Mark)

Thick Mountain Firm Stone Profound Tattoo (Beginner Mystic Mark)

Strong Strike Profound Tattoo (Beginner Mystic Mark)

Lin Zifeng naturally learned them directly. The system also thoughtfully provided a set of "jade slips" to Lin Zifeng, which he directly handed over to his Master, Spiritual Crane Taoist.

"So many Mystic Marks and Mysterious Art!" Spiritual Crane Taoist looked at these Mysterious Art and Mystic Marks in surprise; he naturally wanted to cultivate them himself.

Due to the system, Lin Zifeng's progress in these Mystic Marks and Mysterious Art all started at 10%.

But for others, they would have to start from scratch, from not knowing to mastering at 0%.

Full mastery was naturally 100%. A Beginner Mystic Mark at 1% could increase power and effect by 10%. An Intermediate one at 1% would increase by 20%, and an Advanced one at 1% by 30%.

In other words, a Beginner Mystic Mark at 100% could increase power and effect by 1000%! That's ten times!

And the foundation of each Mystic Mark and Mysterious Art was based on one's own realm and spiritual energy.

Therefore, although Mystic Marks and Mysterious Art could be mastered infinitely, one's energy was limited, and one's comprehension level was limited. However, mastering more meant more diverse methods and enhancements.

This was also what distinguished evildoers, heaven's chosen, geniuses, and ordinary people (cultivators).
