951 Mission (2/2)
”One's aura in this world is energy radiation. Using spiritual roots to affect the operation of a few spiritual power structures, one can affect the body's external radiation, thereby deceiving…”
This technique used a modern train of thought to explain the ancient breath-holding techniques in an easy to understand manner.
”Arcane Smart-Brain!”
Fang Yuan used the Arcane Smart-Brain to crystallize his psyche and form the model for the Breath Holding Technique, imprinting it into the smart-brain.
”This Breath Holding Technique is about the level of a first-class arcane spell. It's just right!”
With the assistance of the smart-brain, as well as being a Demon God, it was a piece of cake for him to learn spiritual techniques.
Fang Yuan rubbed his forehead, and the aura bursting out from his body immediately weakened. It was now at the strength of someone who had just begun cultivating.
”However, this Breath Holding Technique is only a spiritual technique. The most it can do is deceive those at or below level five Mystic. If the teachers observe closely, they can see through this technique unless I cultivate the Breath Holding Dao Art!” Fang Yuan groaned. ”Unless… I modify this Breath Holding Technique!”
Although he had just begun cultivation, his experience was nothing to be scoffed at. Coupled with the calculation of the Arcane Smart-Brain, it would be quite easy for him to improve a spiritual technique.
Soon, a brand new model formed.
”Breath Holding Technique (Modified): Able to hide one's cultivation level. One can choose to increase the depletion rate and activate the strengthened form to escape detection from those under level ten Mystic. Duration five minutes!”
”Photon computers are seriously amazing!”
After the modification, Fang Yuan sighed. He was shocked.
Even the simplest Breath Holding Technique had reached a perfectly balanced state after the photon computer's optimization.
Even he found it hard to surpass, and he could only sacrifice parts of the technique to bolster other parts of its ability.
”However, there should still be people willing to purchase it if I put it on the school website. Unfortunately… unless I want to be seen as a monster, I couldn't have finished the modification immediately after purchasing it. Hehe…”
Fang Yuan shook his head and began browsing missions.
He did not have any mentors that would impart knowledge on spiritual techniques directly to him. Even if he wanted to attend classes by himself, he needed to pay with credits.
Surprisingly, East Dragon University's credit expenditure was terrifying!
The hundred credit reward for advancing to Mystic was instantly cut in half after purchasing a spiritual technique. Soon, he would have nothing left.
Looking at the Eastern Dragon Leaderboard now, Fang Yuan felt extremely envious. He almost wanted to rob them.
”According to Sun Mengmeng, the missions with the most credits are published by the school. Missions published by the teachers may reward spiritual techniques or other items. As for missions published by students, the rewards may be great, but they may also be scams. Of course, the latter is more common…”
Fang Yuan considered methods to obtain credits carefully.
”Honestly, first-years should study hard and obtain their first credits through cultivation breakthroughs and passing courses. But for me, that just gives way too little!”
Even if Fang Yuan wanted to be a straight-A student, he was limited by the number of classes he could take on as a first-year.
Although it might be a significant number to ordinary first-years, it was really too little to him.
”At least, if I want to change dormitories, I need to spend a lot of credits. But I don't want things to become troublesome, so I should settle everything at once… and go straight to district five!”
Fang Yuan frowned. He truly had had enough of the safe zone's environment.
To his cultivation, it was as though a person dying of thirst was only given a drop of water. It was downright cruel!
”I still need to cultivate for those classes. With the efficiency of the Arcane Smart-Brain, I should pass them with full marks after a few days…”
He started looking for missions that were suitable for him. It would be best if the mission allowed him to come in touch with rare materials and curious objects, allowing him to confirm the material required to advance the Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique.
”School mission—Hunt star beasts! Long-term mission. Mystics can accept. The credits are rewarded according to the star beast materials submitted!”
Fang Yuan found a mission, and his eyes lit up. ”This isn't bad… Aside from credits, the star beast materials can sell for a good price… After I reach level five, I'll give it a try!”
Planet East Dragon was unfit for human survival.
Instead, certain plants and star beasts were thriving on the planet.
In addition, due to the harsh environment, they had evolved special abilities and were not much weaker than cultivators.
Even now, humans only occupied less than half of Planet East Dragon. There were still many places that were heavens for star beasts.
According to certain legends, star beast races could give birth to kings. They were beings capable of fighting with high-level Mystics.
As such, the school made hunting star beasts a long-term mission. Perhaps there was the intention of letting the students experience the world as well.
”With this weak body… if I don't use my Demon God power, I'd be able to deal with a single star beast at best. And I'd die if I were surrounded… I should forget it!”
Although this mission had good rewards, it had always been the monopoly of the seniors. Fang Yuan guessed that it was difficult for even Sun Mengmeng.
Furthermore, it really was very dangerous.
Otherwise, why would she rather settle various administrative missions than hunt and break through?
”I'll exclude it for now. Let's keep looking!” Fang Yuan continued scrolling down. Suddenly, his gaze shifted. ”Research assistant mission?”
