Chapter 228: Others Can't Endure Your Kindness
This was truly Xu Lingjun's oversight.
He always felt that with his defense power, he basically wouldn't encounter any dangerous situations.
Therefore, he didn't really think much of it...
Especially upon hearing that Father Wang wanted to open a shop, he wholeheartedly wanted to show his filial piety, so he simply took out all his academic credits to help Father Wang.
After all, be it the Gravity Room or the cafeteria, he had a yearly package.
In other places, there wasn't much to spend credits on, especially since credits were too easy for him to earn, he naturally didn't pay much attention to them. As a result, losing the Secret Realm, he suddenly found that with this little bit of credits he had left, he couldn't buy anything, even if he wanted to pick out bargains, he could only pick lower grade Potion.
But lower grade Potion requires more Source Value Talent Source...
The value of Source Value is much more precious than credits. Using Source Value to replace credits isn't just luxury, it's wastage to the point of squandering.
Gu Xi saw Xu Lingjun's expression and knew what happened, she asked, "I still have over two hundred credits, do you want them?"
"Forget it, even if you give them to me, it's not enough. Keep them for yourself."
Xu Lingjun waved his hand, carefully pondering the solution.
Working part-time is impossible, impossible this lifetime, working hard for several days just to earn a couple of credits, it's like a drop in the ocean.
Borrow from Zong Xiaoping? No way, he needs them too.
Moreover, for some reason, ever since his Transformation Capsule stored Teacher Su's personal item, he felt a bit uptight facing Zong Xiaoping, although he knew Teacher Su had no intentions towards Zong Xiaoping, Zong Xiaoping admired Teacher Su more than anything.
But he always felt guilty, after all, very likely the person they've been searching for was him, me.
"It seems there's only one solution."
"What solution?"
Xu Lingjun said, "I should contribute the Martial Skill I created, I should be able to earn quite a bit of credits."
This is probably considered a feature of Martial Mansion's Martial Skills.
Improving Martial Skills, creating Martial Skills, if one leaves the Martial Skills in the library, they can earn a large number of academic credits, even more abundant than gaining from the Secret Realm.
It's precisely because of this rule that the Martial Skills of Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion have been constantly refined amidst new selections.
You should know, a true expert, even if his Martial Skill is learned by others, what difference does it make?
Others don't have what I have, I excel at what others have...this is the confidence of a strong person.
Thus, originally a day's cultivation was completed half a day earlier.
Then went to the cafeteria for a hearty meal and confirmed that he indeed partially satisfied eating Gu Xi's True Qi.
It seems now, getting hit can cultivate, and one can get fed.
After eating.
Xu Lingjun arrived at the Martial Skill Library area, proposed his request to the Martial Skill instructor.
The instructor looked at the name on Xu Lingjun's Student Card and asked, "Xu Lingjun, have you made the decision to leave your self-created Martial Skill in the library for other students to learn for a fee?"
Xu Lingjun nodded.
"Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion will be grateful for your generosity and open-mindedness."
The instructor stood up, earnestly shook the other's hand, expressing gratitude: "In the future, countless diligent students will receive gifts because of your generosity. When they are cultivating these Martial Skills, we will tell them the creator of these techniques is Xu Lingjun, and they need to hold a sense of gratitude towards Xu Lingjun."
Xu Lingjun smiled wryly and said, "I'm just a bit short on credits, and the Ice Snow Realm Secret Realm is closed, so I can only use this method to earn credits."
"Regardless of the reason, being willing to contribute one's own Martial Skills, this is generosity, it's open-mindedness; coercive moral requirements are the ultimate rogue act. Come, let's start, I can't wait to see what kind of unique skill last year's Dragon Gate Champion Scholar has created."
The instructor sat down and signaled Xu Lingjun to start his performance.
Xu Lingjun walked to the center of the demonstration platform and said, "I have two sets of Martial Skills, one of which is called Lightweight Step, a Legendary Light Body Technique. It can evade according to the wind sound derived from the opponent's actions, I improved it from Taobao's popular fictitious techniques, making it indistinguishable from reality...please initiate some attacks."
The instructor nodded.
Pressed a button.
Immediately, countless blunt arrowheads fired from afar, shooting towards Xu Lingjun.
Initially, Xu Lingjun remained unmoving, but as the sharp arrows approached, he moved like a breeze brushing past willows, back and forth.
The movement was very composed and natural...
Even though the attacks hadn't reached yet, he had already dodged out of position...it looked as if he had rehearsed with these arrows countless times.
The instructor's eyes couldn't help but shine, thinking this Light Body Technique is extraordinary indeed.
Especially seeing the airtight barrage being easily dodged by Xu Lingjun as if he had foreseen it, the instructor was amazed.
With just one glance, he saw the wondrousness of this Light Body Technique, simply extraordinary and unparalleled, unless deliberately targeted, otherwise completely powerless, if one wants to target this Light Body Technique, one must lower their attack power to reduce the wind sound. Wouldn't that be akin to cutting off one's own arm?
The instructor joyfully stood up, asked, "A superb Light Body Technique, Xu Lingjun, I didn't expect you to be willing to share such a brilliant technique, truly remarkable. You say this is a Legendary Level technique, but I feel no Legendary Level Light Body Technique can compare to it...is this technique hard to cultivate?"
"Not hard!"
Xu Lingjun said, "You just need to jump from a few hundred meters high without any measures, feeling the flow of the wind. If all goes well, jumping ten to eight times should do the trick."
Mentor: "............"
The mentor hesitated and asked, "Is... is this really how you practice?"
Xu Lingjun nodded.
"Why does this Cultivation Technique seem a bit familiar?"
"I previously mentioned that I created it based on a Cultivation Technique from Taobao. However, that one was fake, and I made a real one based on its principles. Does this count as an improvement or original creation?"
Xu Lingjun worriedly said, "I heard the academic credit rewards for improvements and original creations are different."
"This... this... let's count it as original creation."
The mentor thought that though it's a bit risky, if you put something in place below as a precaution, maybe the worst that could happen is just breaking an arm or leg?
Or having a Guiyuan Realm Grandmaster waiting below to catch would work too.
"Hmm, a Legendary Light Body Technique, if self-created, you can receive a reward of 800 academic credits. Thank you, Xu Tongxue, for your contribution to the Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion. In the future, the students who practice your Martial Skill will be... uh... grateful."
The mentor's words seemed a bit strained.
He felt that this Light Body Technique might not be practiced by anyone for a century.
Jump once, break an arm or leg, recovery would take two or three months at least. If lucky, you'd succeed after ten or eight times, meaning it takes at least two or three years to master this Light Body Technique, assuming everything goes well...
And if you can afford a Guiyuan Realm Grandmaster as a babysitter, do you still need to practice this Legendary Light Body Technique?
This is beyond just being a 'chicken rib'...
"Thank you, mentor."
Xu Lingjun smiled and said, "Actually, I also have an improved Armor-Piercing Peak Seven-Spin Finger based on 'Ninefold Thunder Tribulation.' Its power might already be approaching the Supreme level, although I can't fully wield its power yet, its level is undoubtedly higher than the Ultimate Level Backtracking Wind Finger."
The mentor was shocked, "Approaching Sup... Supreme level?"
If it weren't Xu Lingjun saying this, he might have slapped the person's face right then.
Supreme level, dare to claim that?
"Indeed, as long as you first practice the Ultimate Level 'Ninefold Thunder Tribulation' Martial Skill until you can freely release it with your arm, then simultaneously let the True Qi circulate and reverse in your body, split it into two streams, coil and explode at the fingertips..."
"It would blow up before you even launch it."
The mentor forced a smile and said, "Xu Tongxue, I bet no one... no, not even a Demon Beast would do that. It's not even mutually assured destruction, it's direct self-destruction."
"But isn't the Martial Mansion's rule all about any improvements being okay? I've improved it, if others can't practice it, that's their problem. I want to present my improved Technique alongside the original for future students to have more options when exchanging, it's my goodwill..."
The mentor smiled even more awkwardly, "But others can't handle your goodwill."
Xu Lingjun laughed and said, "How about this, I'll demonstrate it for you personally. I've heard that Legendary Martial Skills ensure invincibility at the same level, while Ultimate Level Martial Skills let you fight above your level, and the power after my improvement is infinitely close to the Supreme level, definitely top tier within the Ultimate Level as well."
Mentor: "............"
And so.
Half an hour later.
The mentor, bewildered, transferred 2000 academic credits to Xu Lingjun!
While Xu Lingjun, with the credits, stepped into the Martial Tao Resource Area.
It never hurts to prepare some Elixirs and Potions... 2000 credits should suffice.
Xu Lingjun thought to himself that he was fully prepared, hoping Han Yun City or Hanfeng City wouldn't cause trouble. If they did, they'd surely submit and sing a conquest song at my feet.
Meanwhile,
on the dedicated bus from Central City Martial Mansion to Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion,
Marquis Xia Wu, sitting in the co-driver seat, had a fierce smile at his eyes.
This time I'm fully prepared, no matter if Xu Lingjun has three heads and six arms, there's no escaping my hunt.
And on the road from Dongxu Martial Mansion to Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion...
In a luxurious single passenger car,
Hanfeng City, donned in a school uniform and sitting as straight as an Iron Warrior in the military, quietly looked at a photo in hand...
In it, a handsome and stern young man was smiling, oddly giving him a sense of nostalgia.
Nostalgia for the days in the military, this kid really has a face full of righteousness.
"A pity if he's not a general."
Hanfeng City casually tore up the photo, murmuring to himself.
