10: Comprehend the cultivation technique? I can learn it instantly with just one click!

Back at the dormitory, Chen Nian closed the door behind him.

Without the slightest hesitation, he pulled out the thin booklet directly from his chest pocket.

The Myriad Things Yuan Absorption Art!

The cover material was peculiar—neither metal nor wood. It was cold to the touch and carried an ancient, primitive texture.

Just holding it in his hand, Chen Nian could feel a faint, indistinct suction, as if it wanted to drain the warmth from his palm.

He took a deep breath and laid the booklet flat on the table, preparing to begin his comprehension.

However, the moment his fingertip touched the first page...

A cold, mechanical voice rang out in his mind without any warning.

【Ding! Detectable S-Rank Cultivation Technique: Myriad Things Yuan Absorption Art】

【The System can provide a fast learning service; consume points to master it instantly】

【Learning the Myriad Things Yuan Absorption Art requires 60,000 points. Consume points to learn?】

The string of System prompts caused Chen Nian's hand, which was about to turn the page, to freeze mid-air.

His pupils contracted slightly.

What?

He could actually consume points to quickly learn a Cultivation Technique?

One should know that when others learned Cultivation Techniques, they had to slowly comprehend them, learning bit by bit.

If their luck was bad, it might even take a year or two.

But for him, he could actually consume points to learn it instantly!

He had to admit, this System was quite impressive!

However, he was also a bit troubled.

Quickly learning the Myriad Things Yuan Absorption Art actually required sixty thousand points?!

Did he hear that right?

Chen Nian subconsciously glanced at his System panel.

【points: 57】

The bright red number looked so glaring.

This wasn't just outrageously expensive.

This was practically highway robbery!

Chen Nian's mouth twitched. He felt like the joy that had just risen was instantly doused by a bucket of cold water.

Sixty thousand points—how long would it take him to earn that much?

This System really didn't treat him as one of its own at all.

It seemed to have sensed his intense inner turmoil and complaints.

That cold, mechanical voice rang out once again.

【Detected that the host is learning a Cultivation Technique for the first time】

【Newbie exclusive discount has been issued】

【Learning the Myriad Things Yuan Absorption Art this time will only consume 10 points】

【Consume 10 points to learn?】

The System's voice faded.

The entire room fell into a dead silence.

The expression on Chen Nian's face shifted from astonishment to skepticism, and finally transformed into an uncontrollable surge of wild joy.

His breathing became rapid.

Sixty thousand points had turned directly into ten?

This discount was like jumping from Mount Everest straight into the Mariana Trench!

Was there even a choice?

As long as one's brain hadn't been caught in a door, they would know what to do!

“Learn! Learn immediately!”

Chen Nian replied quickly without any hesitation, fearing the System might change its mind in the next second.

【Confirmed consumption of 10 points to learn the Myriad Things Yuan Absorption Art】

【Learning beginning...】

As the System prompt finished...

The ancient booklet in Chen Nian's hand instantly surged with specks of golden light, like dancing fireflies, all pouring into his body.

“Boom—!”

An unimaginably massive flood of information exploded in his mind.

Countless profound runes, intricate meridian circulation diagrams, various cultivation methods, and combat techniques surged in like a tide, deeply imprinting themselves into the depths of his Soul.

At the same time, an unspeakable change occurred in his body.

He could clearly feel a tiny vortex appearing out of thin air at the location of his Dantian.

This vortex was initially only the size of a needlepoint, but it was rotating and expanding at an incredible speed.

An invisible, powerful suction suddenly erupted from within his body.

The air inside the room began to flow.

The curtains moved without any wind.

The papers on the desk began to rustle.

He felt as if he were no longer a person, but a massive whirlpool slowly starting up, wanting to swallow everything in its surroundings.

This feeling came quickly and left just as fast.

In just a dozen seconds, everything returned to peace.

But Chen Nian knew that something was completely different.

He slowly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing across them for a fleeting moment.

An unprecedented sense of comfort spread through his body; every cell seemed to be cheering and jumping for joy.

He immediately pulled up his System panel.

【demon slaying and evil eradication system】

【host: Chen Nian】

【Physique: Prison Suppressing Divine Body (Rank 2)】

【Skills: Mountain-Collapsing Fist (Rank 3), Myriad Things Yuan Absorption Art (Rank 1)】

【points: 47】

As expected!

In the skills column, the Myriad Things Yuan Absorption Art had been added.

The Rank was 1.

And his points had changed from 57 to 47.

With a thought, Chen Nian tried asking the System.

“How many points are needed to upgrade the Myriad Things Yuan Absorption Art?”

【Each upgrade of the Myriad Things Yuan Absorption Art requires 1,000 points】

The System's answer was crisp and direct.

Chen Nian understood.

It was the same price as the Prison Suppressing Divine Body.

He glanced at his remaining 47 points.

With these points, he couldn't do anything for now.

It seemed he would have to find a way to go out and hunt some Demonic Evils or Evil Cultivators tomorrow to earn points.

Without points, it was hard to move a single step.

However, it wasn't like he could do nothing right now.

From his pocket, he took out that small white jade bottle.

The top-grade qi condensing pill.

The extra reward for taking first place at the examination hall.

The Myriad Things Yuan Absorption Art was itself a Cultivation Technique that could assist in training. Now, when paired with this top-grade Medicinal Pill, what would the effect be?

It was the perfect time to experience firsthand just how terrifying the combination of this S-Rank technique and a top-grade pill could be.
