Life at the Mystic Practitioner Academy was quite mundane, almost a day-to-day routine. Like many students from the Original Universe, there was nothing new each day; the only change was that everyone was continuously growing stronger. Questions that once seemed significant now felt childish.
"Time flies so fast," Lan Bing'er, Ziyu, and Ye Ling sat side by side on the steps, gazing at the flowing water and a nearby grove of trees.
It was already autumn, and Ziyu's progress had caught the attention of some. In fact, Ziyu analyzed that it was mainly due to Infinite Replication; his ageless cells constantly maintained their vitality, allowing him to advance so quickly.
"Ziyu, next month is the Championship. Our Squad will be counting on you," Lan Bing'er said. "As long as you don't hold us back, our Squad has no problem advancing."
"Are you saying Li Xuan is strong?" Ziyu joked.
"Don't bring him up!" Lan Bing'er pouted and pinched Ziyu's ear.
"Bing'er, if you guys advance, our Squad will be your fierce rivals," Ye Ling smiled.
"You'll still be defeated... right, Ziyu?" Lan Bing'er laughed.
During this time together, the three had become quite familiar with each other, and Ziyu often found himself the target of jealousy from other boys. Ye Ling and Lan Bing'er had become good friends.
"Next month... I'll still be a Third-Level Xuan Practitioner, and Bing'er, you're also a Third-Level Xuan Practitioner. I shouldn't hold us back," Ziyu pondered.
"Oh right, I want to ask, why are both of you so powerful?" Lan Bing'er stared wide-eyed at Ziyu and Ye Ling.
Although Ye Ling was in Class 45, her talent was definitely not inferior to Ziyu's. Recently, there were rumors that she would be moved to a higher class.
"We're just strong~ Is there a need for a reason?" Ziyu said proudly.
"Just keep showing off," Lan Bing'er turned her head away.
"Ziyu, I found a few gun techniques called Mystical Arts, which use guns to perform, and their initial effects are similar to sword energy," Ye Ling said. "By the time of the Championship, they might come in handy."
Ziyu also noticed that there are not only Mystical Arts relying on the combination of spiritual power and physical body, but also formations and other weapon Cultivation Methods, such as Cold Resistance Sword Technique, Dragon-Snake Spear Technique, and so on, which can also be considered part of Mystical Arts.
However, apart from the initial batch of basic Mystical Arts distributed, other Mystical Arts require a certain number of points to exchange for.
From Level One Transcendent to Second-Level Mystic, one can earn one hundred points; from Level Two to Level Three, two hundred points... and so on.
Condensing the Golden Core directly grants five thousand points.
Of course, these points are definitely not enough; one can also take on some missions to hunt monsters or robbers in other places...
Collecting materials and treasures to hand over to the Mystic Practitioner Academy can also earn points... this is also the source of so many materials at the Mystic Practitioner Academy.
But the current problem is that the gun technique Ye Ling needs requires one thousand points for exchange, and since Ye Ling is a Third-Level Xuan Practitioner, he still lacks four hundred points.
"What level is that gun technique?" Ziyu frowned. Mystical Arts are divided into levels one through nine; a Level One Transcendent or quasi-Transcendent can only perform First-Level Mystical Techniques, while Level Two can perform below Level Two Mystical Arts... and so forth.
This is because the energy control requirements and energy levels needed for Mystical Arts vary; a low-level Transcendent cannot release higher-level Mystical Arts.
"It's a Level Two gun technique," Ye Ling said. "The nearby ones are all sword techniques; this is the only gun technique suitable for me, but it's very expensive."
"Is this gun technique called 'Breaking Army'?" Lan Bing'er asked. "If it really is, you should find a way to obtain it."
"How do you know?" Ye Ling looked at Lan Bing'er. "Is this gun technique very powerful?"
"This gun technique is indeed quite good and widely circulated. If you know someone who is skilled in using guns, they might have it," Lan Bing'er began to talk about this Breaking Army gun technique.
A gun is the most difficult weapon to master because its tip can stab, and its body can strike, allowing for various combinations. This complexity determines the advanced nature of gun techniques.
In this world, all weapons' Cultivation Methods possess characteristics of Mystical Arts. For example, the blood-red glow on the blade of a robber's knife is a trait of its technique.
"Breaking the Army" is the most widely practiced gun technique in this world, used by the most people because once one cultivates "Breaking the Army," there is no need to seek out more advanced techniques!
Although this gun technique is not the highest level, it is the most practical. Those with status and connections would not use it, but there are still many at the bottom level of society. Those who practice guns at this level will choose "Breaking the Army."
This is because "Breaking the Army" is a second-level gun technique, which can only be used by Second-Level Mystics. However, once a user reaches the third level, they can perform more techniques, and even the same techniques executed by a Second-Level Mystic and a Third-Level Xuan Practitioner will have different levels of power.
Moreover, this Cultivation Method can accompany practitioners as they condense their Golden Core, allowing them to become stronger at a new level!
Once one reaches the Golden Core stage, obtaining a Cultivation Method becomes much easier, and "Breaking the Army" will then be set aside.
Most of "Breaking the Army" discusses not specific techniques but variations; its endless transformations without fixed moves make it the strongest.
"Who created this Cultivation Method? It seems really impressive," Ziyu said in amazement.
After arriving in this world, Ziyu realized how difficult it was to create these seemingly simple Mystical Arts. A Mystical Art that automatically upgrades with the user's level is even rarer.
"It's just that this gun technique is relatively easy to obtain in the outside world, so it only costs one thousand points. The purpose is to allow some third or fourth-level students to complete tasks to earn points and use this gun technique," Lan Bing'er explained. Having been at this Mystic Practitioner Academy for some time, she was more familiar with these matters, while Ziyu hardly paid attention to Mystical Arts.
"Let's choose a task," Ziyu suggested.
"Sure, let's pick a task, but all tasks have one characteristic... you cannot use Puppets," Lan Bing'er reminded them.
"It seems like Zero-Sum Emperor is really going to rust," Ye Ling joked. "These two haven't really moved much; they just wander around the Mystic Practitioner Academy area."
"Yeah... haha." Ziyu also laughed and stood up, "Let's go find a mission."
There are no restrictions on missions that earn points; suitable missions can be chosen, and it's fine to team up with people from different classes.
The three of them quickly arrived at the Experience Hall, which is the designated place for receiving and dispatching missions.
"Over there..." Lan Bing'er led Ziyu and the others to the Reception.
"We want to take on a mission, three people, all Third-Level Xuan Practitioners," Lan Bing'er said.
"Okay, please wait a moment." The staff member began to search for suitable missions for the three of them.
"Last time we did a mission, it was Li Xuan who took me along..." Lan Bing'er said, "That guy..."
Since Li Xuan confessed his feelings, Lan Bing'er had deliberately distanced herself from him. After Ziyu arrived, Lan Bing'er had been almost always by Ziyu's side, so Li Xuan never found an opportunity to talk to her.
Now that Lan Bing'er thought of Li Xuan, she felt something special.
"Actually, Li Xuan is a really nice person," Ziyu said.
Although Li Xuan had some resistance towards Ziyu because of Lan Bing'er, Ziyu observed him and was sure that Li Xuan was definitely a good person.
"Really not as good as you," Lan Bing'er casually remarked, turning to look at the Reception. The staff member had already taken out a crystal containing information about suitable missions.
"Um..." Ziyu frowned as a sharp pain shot through his waist. Ye Ling had pinched Ziyu hard from behind.
"I didn't do anything..." Ziyu gritted his teeth.
"Let's take a look at these missions." Lan Bing'er suddenly turned around, and Ziyu and Ye Ling quickly returned to normal.
"This mission is located in the outskirts of Purple Moon City, where there are demon beasts on a mountain. Each person earns five hundred points," Ziyu said.
"Yeah, I think this one is pretty good," both Lan Bing'er and Ye Ling agreed.
There was only this one mission related to demon beasts, and the advantage of demon beast missions is that certain parts of the demon beasts can be used as materials, which can be submitted to the academy for additional points.
~~~~~~~~~~
Purple Moon City. Purple Moon City is another major city not far from Siyang City. One side of this city has a mountain, which was rumored to have demon beasts. Later, it was confirmed that there is indeed a Bear Demon here.
This mission was available at the Mystic Practitioner Academy in the nearby major city; whoever claimed it first would take it on, and ultimately, it was Ziyu and her companions who got it.
The Bear Demon is a Third-Level Xuan Practitioner level demon beast. Naturally, demon beasts are tough-skinned and strong, so a Third-Level Xuan Practitioner level demon beast is stronger than a human Third-Level Xuan Practitioner. Therefore, they chose to send three people for the task.
"This is Purple Moon City," Ziyu said as the three arrived in Purple Moon City and entered after paying the fee.
"Let's take a break," Ziyu suggested as she found an inn and prepared to rent a few rooms.
"Boss, we'll take two upper-class rooms," Ziyu said as she took out some money.
Ziyu wasn't short on money... Selling some Kallok Metal, which has hardness close to that of Mystical Weapons, would fetch a good price in this society. If she shaped the Kallok Metal well, it would be even more valuable...
Of course, ordinary markets do not carry Mystical Weapons; those need to be obtained from specific Transcendent trading places.
"Two rooms? No way, we need three!" Lan Bing'er directly objected.
"Ah? Just the two of us in one room is fine..." Ziyu said, her face turning red as she spoke.
"Hehe, so you two want to leave me out at night, huh? Three rooms or one room, hmph~~" Lan Bing'er unexpectedly chimed in at that moment.
"Um... three rooms will be fine," Ziyu replied helplessly. Meanwhile, Ye Ling looked at Ziyu with a half-smile.
It seemed like there was something going on.
"Let's rest well today; tomorrow we will deal with that beast," Ziyu instructed in front of the room.
"Bing'er, you shouldn't joke around like this anymore. It makes it seem like our relationship is all messed up..." Ziyu thought it was better to mention it.
"Hmph... fine, fine, it's not funny at all." Lan Bing'er turned and went into the room.
"Really, there's nothing going on," Ziyu said to Ye Ling, but before she could say anything else, Ye Ling also returned to her room...
"Alright, alright, this is really frustrating," Ziyu said helplessly.
