What’s the point of cultivating immortality if you don’t have money?

Two identical chills, two identical countdowns. After several attempts, Zhang Yu discovered that these two ritualistic forces were pressing in different directions.

One stopped counting down after he breathed in spiritual energy.

The other stopped counting down after he comprehended the Celestial Human Martial Arts Diagram.

Zhang Yu immediately became even more certain of one thing: one of these two countdowns was fake.

“It’s probably the effect of the Celestial Human Martial Arts Diagram.”

“Directly facing the fear in my heart… so it’s recreating the pressure of the ritualistic power on me?”

“But I didn’t expect the ritualistic power recreated by the Celestial Human Martial Arts Diagram to conflict with the real ritualistic power on my body.”

But which of the two ritualistic powers is fake?

“Is it the one that stopped counting down after I breathed in spiritual energy?”

“Or is it the one that stopped counting down after I comprehended the Celestial Human Martial Arts Diagram?”

Zhang Yu was more inclined towards the latter, but he couldn’t make a decision lightly.

Because the price of choosing wrong was death.

“Which one should I choose?”

Listening to the constantly changing countdowns in his heart, Zhang Yu was extremely conflicted, unable to make a decision for a long time.

“Since I can’t choose, then I simply won’t choose.”

His eyes narrowed, and he made a decision: “I’ll treat both countdowns as real.”

Zhang Yu sat down cross-legged on the spot and began to circulate the Heavenly Cycle Qi Gathering Method, breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

As the countdown in his heart continued, from 10 to 5 to 3, Zhang Yu stood up again and looked towards the direction of the Celestial Human Martial Arts Diagram, trying to comprehend the set of martial arts contained within.

In this way, under the simultaneous pressure of the two countdowns, Zhang Yu alternately performed the Heavenly Cycle Qi Gathering Method and comprehended the Celestial Human Martial Arts Diagram, advancing in turn.

At the same time, some people at the art exhibition gradually noticed Zhang Yu’s strangeness.

The Songyang City Director of the Immortal Rhyme Group looked at Zhang Yu curiously and said, “This kid is breathing in spiritual energy one moment and standing up to comprehend martial arts the next. What is he seeing?”

Li Xuelian, who was beside him, also turned her gaze to Zhang Yu, thoughtfully saying, “It looks like someone is forcing him to breathe in spiritual energy.”

“Maybe it’s out of reverence for a certain teacher in reality.”

Just then, they discovered that Zhang Yu had changed his movements again, no longer breathing in spiritual energy but starting to practice the Thirty-Six Forms of Body Strengthening.

It turned out that Zhang Yu had suddenly realized one thing: the countdown that stopped counting down after he breathed in spiritual energy might not be forcing him to breathe in spiritual energy, but forcing him to walk the path of learning, cultivating, going to college, and working to earn money.

So he began to try whether he could practice martial arts while looking at the Celestial Human Martial Arts Diagram.

In any case, his Thirty-Six Forms of Body Strengthening had long been ingrained in his muscle memory. If he could practice martial arts while looking at the Celestial Human Martial Arts Diagram to comprehend it, he could focus most of his attention on the Celestial Human Martial Arts Diagram.

After all, his main purpose at the moment was to comprehend the martial arts on the Celestial Human Martial Arts Diagram.

After this attempt succeeded, he began to feel that it was still a bit troublesome to practice martial arts while comprehending, so he simply took out his phone and tried to browse the textbooks on his phone while looking at the Celestial Human Martial Arts Diagram.

Finding that browsing textbooks was also no problem, he simply played the textbook content on his phone aloud, listening to the textbook content while comprehending the Celestial Human Martial Arts Diagram.

...

Looking at Zhang Yu’s appearance of breathing in spiritual energy, practicing martial arts, and studying, Li Xuelian sincerely sighed, “Behind this child must be an extremely strict teacher, constantly forcing him to work hard, even gradually becoming an image of immense fear in his heart.”

“Next, it depends on whether he can break through with thought under layers of pressure…”

But before Li Xuelian could finish speaking, Zhang Yu actually moved away from the Celestial Human Martial Arts Diagram and ran directly to the buffet table, took a large plate of seafood, and returned to the Celestial Human Martial Arts Diagram to comprehend it while eating.

Because he suddenly remembered that eating should also not be blocked by the ritual.

Looking at this scene, Li Xuelian was slightly surprised and said, “Oh? He broke through so quickly. Under layers of pressure, he directly established a philosophy of slacking off? Only then can he directly face the fear in his heart and continue to comprehend the martial arts in the martial arts diagram.”

“Perhaps even he himself has not realized that, unknowingly, he has overcome the fear in his heart, passed this test of the martial arts diagram, and everything is back to normal.”

Seeing that a security guard wanted to step forward to stop Zhang Yu, Li Xuelian waved her hand and dismissed him. She was now quite curious about how much Zhang Yu could comprehend from the martial arts diagram.

While eating lobster and looking at the martial arts diagram, Zhang Yu gradually saw clearly what kind of martial arts the figure was practicing.

“It seems to be a set of fist techniques?”

The fist technique itself was not complicated. Zhang Yu had a vague idea after looking at it several times, but when he looked at his Feather Book, he found that there was no change at all. Obviously, he had not truly learned this martial art, let alone mastered it.

According to his experience in learning High School Basic Swordsmanship and the Heavenly Cycle Qi Gathering Method, similar martial arts should display a Level 0 on the Feather Book after he looked at it once.

“What’s wrong?”

Just then, Lian Tianji laughed loudly, saying with a confident face, “I have fully comprehended the martial arts within. It is indeed a marvelous palm technique.”

Before he could finish speaking, Qian Shen, who was not far away, said, “What palm technique? It is clearly a leg technique.”

Normally, Qian Shen, with a total score of 600, would definitely not dare to speak loudly in front of Lian Tianji, with a total score of 670.

But at this moment, after experiencing a round of Dao heart tempering from the Celestial Human Martial Arts Diagram, it was precisely when Qian Shen was at his boldest.

These words of the two quickly aroused opposition from others.

Someone argued, “No, no, the martial arts hidden in the martial arts diagram are clearly a set of saber techniques.”

Someone began indiscriminate ridicule: “A bunch of blind people, that’s clearly a set of finger techniques.”

Bai Zhenzhen frowned slightly. What she saw was a sword technique.

Obviously, while Zhang Yu was eating and comprehending, more and more students had completed the comprehension of the martial arts diagram.

Listening to the discussion, Lian Tianji simply turned his gaze to Li Xuelian and asked, “Ms. Li, I wonder what kind of martial arts are hidden in this martial arts diagram?”

Seeing everyone present looking over, Li Xuelian smiled slightly and said, “I cannot disclose what specific martial arts it is.”

“However, I would like to remind everyone that there are mysteries in the martial arts diagram. If anyone present has mastered the martial arts within, there will naturally be an indication.”

Everyone understood that this meant that if anyone in the audience mastered the martial arts in the martial arts diagram, the martial arts diagram would naturally have a prompt appear.

Thinking of this, Lian Tianji stepped forward without hesitation.

Lian Tianji from Ziyun High School already had the absolute confidence of being a pride of heaven.

After the test just now, his self-confidence had expanded to a peak state. At this moment, he used the palm technique that he had just comprehended from the martial arts diagram.

Between his moves, bursts of wind and thunder sounded, and surging strength and killing intent erupted from his body, as if to blast the entire art exhibition away.

Zhao Tianxing, who had been observing the results here, felt a burst of exclamation in his heart at this moment when he saw this scene.

“What high physical strength, what terrifying palm technique, this is a killing martial art used for combat.”

However, Lian Tianji’s physical strength was considered powerful among high school freshmen, but there were many cultivators who had already graduated from high school, and they were even more surprised by the proficiency of the martial arts that Lian Tianji displayed.

Someone exclaimed in his heart: “Is this really the palm technique he just comprehended from the martial arts diagram? Every move and every stance is so skilled. The top student of Ziyun High School is indeed a genius among geniuses.”

But after Lian Tianji performed this set of palm techniques, the Celestial Human Martial Arts Diagram did not move at all, without the slightest reaction.

“How is that possible?” Lian Tianji said in disbelief, “I have clearly mastered the martial arts on the diagram, how can it not work?”

Qian Shen smiled and walked up to Lian Tianji: “I said long ago that this is a leg technique.”

Next, he also displayed the martial arts he had comprehended from the diagram in front of the martial arts diagram. Although he did not perform as easily as Lian Tianji, he was already familiar with the moves.

Bai Zhenzhen frowned again as she watched this scene: “Is this a body refining martial art? Specially used to train legs.”

As Qian Shen completed the last move, the Celestial Human Martial Arts Diagram still did not move, without the slightest abnormality.

“How is that possible?”

Saying the same words as Lian Tianji, Qian Shen also looked at the martial arts diagram in disbelief.

Next, students continued to step forward to show off the martial arts they had comprehended.

Including Lian Tianji and Qian Shen, 12 students successively demonstrated a total of nine sets of martial arts: fist, palm, leg, finger, claw, saber, sword, spear, and staff.

Among them, 3 people had martial arts that overlapped with others.

But after this round of martial arts performances, no one could cause a reaction from the Celestial Human Martial Arts Diagram.

Lian Tianji couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Li Xuelian and asked again, “Ms. Li, are none of us successful?”

Li Xuelian did not answer, just shook her head slightly, with a look of disappointment in her eyes.

Just then, Bai Zhenzhen slowly walked up and, under the gaze of everyone, used her fingers as a sword to practice a set of swordsmanship.

Although this set of swordsmanship was unparalleled in sharpness and Bai Zhenzhen’s every move and every stance could be called masterful, everyone present stopped paying attention after watching a few glances.

After all, there were also two people who had stepped forward to practice martial arts and display swordsmanship before, and they had not been able to cause a change in the martial arts diagram.

But who knew that after Bai Zhenzhen finished performing this set of swordsmanship, the style of painting changed, and she used her hand as a knife to display a set of saber techniques.

Then there were fist techniques, palm techniques, leg techniques…

Zhao Tianxing said in surprise: “Bai Zhenzhen has learned all the martial arts that everyone practiced before?”

Lian Tianji frowned as he watched this scene, thinking: “In such a short period of time, she was able to watch it once and perform all the martial arts demonstrated by everyone. Which key high school is this woman from?”

Looking at Bai Zhenzhen, whose every move and every stance seemed to have been practiced hard for a long time, Qian Shen’s thoughts were also surging in his heart.

On the one hand, he was amazed that Bai Zhenzhen could actually perform all the nine sets of martial arts that everyone had comprehended. On the other hand, doubts continued to arise in his heart: “Is it really possible to perform all the nine sets of martial arts that everyone has comprehended?”

Just then, in the surprised eyes of everyone, the man on the Celestial Human Martial Arts Diagram moved, actually looking at Bai Zhenzhen with a smile, and two words appeared on the scroll.

Not bad.
