Chapter 58: Rapid Progress

  In less than half a day, Yang Tong had refined the mid-grade crystal worth 1 million spiritual coins. Yang Tong also opened up ten more acupoints! There was no mistake, Yang Tong used standard crystals to cultivate, refining one hundred standard crystals in a month and opening up ten acupoints. But using mid-grade crystals to cultivate, refining one in half a day had an effect similar to using one hundred standard crystals. However, the efficiency was far from comparable.

  Yang Tong was deeply shocked, if this continues, wouldn't it mean that before the official start of class, he can already break through to Earth Level 2? In half a month, wouldn't he be able to cultivate to the peak of Earth Level 9?

  The entire Huangyu Kingdom's land was cultivated with this crystal stone, wouldn't that make their progress speed astonishing?

  "It's not like that, every forty acupoints is a small bottleneck, which needs to be broken through in order to continue refining. It's possible that you can reach the peak of the first level of the Earth in two days, but if you get stuck at a bottleneck, it might hold you back for three to five years."

  "Uh..." Yang Tong was speechless.

  "And do you think everyone has your kind of cultivation speed? You're cultivating the Jade Clear Secret Record, don't compare those trashy techniques to the Jade Clear Secret Record. I dare to guarantee that even the top-notch cultivation methods in human civilization can't match one-tenth of the Jade Clear Secret Record! This is one of the three greatest untransmitted inheritances of the entire Xian civilization, and outsiders can't even imagine its profundity. If it weren't for me acknowledging you as my master during my weak period, I wouldn't have passed on the untransmitted secrets of the Jade Clear lineage to a junior like you." Lu Bao scolded without giving face, compared to when he just woke up, his spiritual intelligence was becoming more and more abundant, and his damaged spiritual intelligence was recovering faster and faster.

  Yang Tong did not refute, but secretly rejoiced in his heart. Yes, what kind of kung fu was he practicing? What kind of kung fu were others practicing? With the same resources, his own practice speed absolutely exceeded outsiders' imagination. There was no comparison to be made, nor could there be any comparison. Yang Tong would not be foolish enough to reveal his secrets and compare with others.

  Yang Tong Jing calmed down and exchanged two more mid-grade crystal stones, and within two days, he had pushed his cultivation to the peak of the Earth Level. Indeed, as Luo Bao said, he encountered a bottleneck.

  Yang Tong did not continue to cultivate, but instead came out of the cultivation room and went to his own resting room to take a nap. After waking up, he browsed through the entertainment programs and saw various projects such as martial arts competitions, games, movies, news, and more.

  Yang Tong opened the news, and most of the news introduced some large companies or conglomerates that had developed new technology products, or were advertisements for various spiritual tools. After reading for a while, Yang Tong's novelty wore off, and he turned to the martial arts selection option.

  It turned out that among these options, they were all video recordings of internal competitions within the college. As he watched, Yang Tong couldn't help but become mesmerized.

  These battle records opened the door to intercontinental fighting for Yang Tong. It gave Yang Tong an accurate understanding that the concept of fighting between continental and apprentice levels is completely different. At the apprentice level, each person's physical foundation, such as strength and speed, was not much different, and the key to victory lay in the difference between the power of the blow and the martial arts moves.

  The Earth level is completely different, the Earth level is more complex, including mind method, attribute, martial skill, secret art, experience and combat wisdom. The pros and cons of the mind method determine the speed of spiritual energy recovery on the battlefield, the attributes between each other are interdependent, the good or bad of martial skills, the strength or weakness of secret arts, all these are linked by combat wisdom and combat experience.

  Yang Tong watched on one side while Luo Bao explained on the other, making Yang Tong see even more clearly and distinctly.

  Three days passed and the school's curriculum officially started operating. There was no opening ceremony, nor was there a head teacher. Everything began in a calm and compact manner, starting a new round of teaching and competition.

  Yang Tong sat in the study room, through holographic virtual networking, synchronously learning what the teacher on the other end of the network was teaching.

  Yang Tong needs to study "Material Science", "Synthesis", "Spirit Pattern Study", "Law Secret Pattern Study", "Sealing Study", "Energy Circuit Study" and "Primary Array Method Essentials". Only after studying these can he learn the specific manufacture of spiritual tools.

  In terms of spiritual combat, it is taught by the teacher to impart the universal mental method "Tuna", and then explain the key points, precautions and taboos of the mental method. Next is the secret technique of "Yuqi", which is the most basic secret technique for spiritual masters. Only after passing the assessment will more profound secret techniques be explained.

  At the same time, Yang Tong also learned that the school divides its techniques into three categories: Heart Method, Martial Skills, and Secret Arts. These are further divided into five levels based on their efficiency and power: Divine, Heavenly, Earthly, Mysterious, and Yellow.

  Divine is the highest, Yellow is the lowest. Each level is further divided into four stages: Initial, Middle, High, and Top. The "Tuna" heart method and "Yuqi" secret technique taught in school are both yellow-level initial-stage techniques.

  The "Spirit Breath" yellow-grade top-tier technique on the Mercenary Guild's exchange list is worth 25 contribution points, while the "Soul Devouring Technique" worth 1,000 contribution points is a mysterious top-tier technique.

  Yang Tong has his own method, and it's not necessary to learn the heart method, just understand it. As for the "Yuqi" secret technique, Yang Tong even bought a divine thought cultivation ball to practice Yuqi.

  On the third day of class, Yang Tong broke through the bottleneck of Earth Level 1 and entered Earth Level 2. His spiritual power increased by 30%, and his divine sense also increased by 30%.

  "The master's cultivation has advanced to the next level, with a progress speed that is extremely excellent. The evaluation results will be reported to the school. If reported, you will be rewarded with learning points." The dormitory manager reminded Yang Tong after his cultivation stabilized.

  "How many points will be rewarded?" Yang Tong asked.

  "According to the difference in cultivation, rewards are given according to the pros and cons of progress. From Earth Level 1 to Earth Level 2, excellent ones get 20 learning points, good ones get 10 learning points, and those below average are not rewarded. Super excellence is even more excellent than excellence, with a reward of 30 learning points. For every level crossed, the reward increases threefold."

  "Uh, okay, report it then." Yang Tong was worried that his learning points weren't enough to use, exchanging them for spiritual coins was good, but Yang Tong was really too poor and didn't want to use the contribution points from the Mercenary Guild to exchange for spiritual coins.

  "Yes, master." After a while, the dormitory manager's voice rang out: "The reward has been issued, congratulations to the master."

  Yang Tong took a look and indeed found thirty more academic points in his school account.

  But what Yang Tong didn't know was that soon after his information was reported, the school commended him in front of all first-year students: "First-year student, Yang Tong. Broke through the second level of the Great Land, scored super excellent, rewarded with 30 academic points." Such a voice was broadcasted in all the freshmen dormitories by their respective dorm managers.

  Yang Tong suddenly became famous in first grade.

  However, this year's freshman class has less than 500 people, and most of them don't know each other. Everyone is wondering in their hearts: Who is Yang Tong?
