Chapter 173: #173 - Endless Zen of Spring and Autumn

When Zhang Yu first attempted to comprehend the Spring Autumn Endless Zen, he had absolutely no understanding of this technique. He only regarded it as an enhanced version of the Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi, a more efficient body-refining martial art capable of more effectively training the physical body.

However, after he awkwardly and hastily practiced the entire technique once, he had developed his own understanding of this body-refining martial art.

Spring Autumn Endless Zen Level 1 (0/10)

Scenes of practicing the Spring Autumn Endless Zen flowed through his mind, and various mistakes encountered during practice and memories generated emerged in his thoughts.

All of this made it seem as if he had experienced the entire process of cultivating the Spring Autumn Endless Zen from level 0 to level 1 in a short instant.

It was only after this practice that he understood that this body-refining martial art was very different from the Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi.

However, Zhang Yu did not immediately report to the examiners to prove that he had mastered the Spring Autumn Endless Zen.

"Too abrupt, too high-profile."

"Being high-profile without strength… is like courting death."

Zhang Yu believed that anyone who saw him clumsy and inexperienced the first time, but then incredibly proficient and seemingly entering a state of mastery the second time, would inevitably be suspicious and think he was cheating.

And as someone whose potential was stimulated by an evil god, Zhang Yu didn't want to arouse the curiosity of those righteous gods.

So, he began his second practice.

Recalling the cultivation experience from 0 to 1 that had just emerged in his mind…

Zhang Yu pretended to be not very skilled and began his second practice.

However, compared to the first time, he already had some semblance of skill.

And in Zhang Yu's mind, the subtleties of the Spring Autumn Endless Zen and the differences between this body-refining martial art and the Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi constantly emerged.

The first step was to condense a Longevity Mana.

Then, Zhang Yu sat cross-legged on the ground. As he twisted his upper body backward, his hands touched the ground, and his internal organs squeezed and exerted force against each other in the twist.

"The Spring Autumn Endless Zen has forty-nine stances, each of which trains different parts of the body, tempering the flesh, bones, and internal organs throughout."

"And with the infusion of Longevity Mana, waste and impurities remaining in the body after training can be eliminated, purifying the flesh while accelerating the body's recovery."

The next moment, as Longevity Mana surged into his internal organs, Zhang Yu felt a burst of relief in his newly exercised organs.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "If the forty-nine body-refining movements are like the desolation of autumn, representing the wear and tear of the physical body…"

"Then the Longevity Mana is like the rising of spring, for the repair and regrowth of the physical body."

"The two, one spring and one autumn, one life and one death, must nourish the physical body and make it stronger and stronger in this cycle of life and death."

In particular, Zhang Yu could understand that with each rotation of the Spring Autumn Endless Zen, the medicinal toxins and pill toxins accumulated in the internal organs would be gradually eliminated.

Now, Zhang Yu deeply understood the immortal path of Kunxu.

As the saying goes, so-called three parts practice, seven parts diet, and the remaining ninety parts depend on how you take medicine.

On the immortal path, taking medicine is as normal as eating and drinking.

But as long as you take medicine, you will inevitably leave behind impurities or even toxins.

The Spring Autumn Endless Zen eliminates impurities and toxins from the body while exercising, slowly repairing the damage caused by drugs to the body.

In this way, even under the same physical strength, a strong person who has practiced the Spring Autumn Endless Zen will definitely be healthier, more vigorous, and have a higher limit on both physical endurance and explosive power than someone who has not practiced it.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "What a divine skill, what a truly divine skill."

"If it weren't too expensive and too difficult, this Spring Autumn Endless Zen should really be the holy body-refining skill for high school."

"With this Spring Autumn Endless Zen, pushing my physical strength to level 10 next will definitely be a natural process."

At the same time, Zhang Yu began his third practice of the Spring Autumn Endless Zen.

This time, according to the cultivation experience in his mind, he once again improved his performance, becoming more skilled and his movements more standard.

...

Huang Zichou, who was observing Zhang Yu, raised an eyebrow and said, "This Zhang Yu's progress is so fast. He has only practiced the Spring Autumn Endless Zen three times, and he already looks the part."

At the same time, the detection patch on Zhang Yu's body constantly uploaded various data about his physical strength and mana operation.

Huang Zichou compared this data with the standard data of the first level of the Spring Autumn Endless Zen and came to a conclusion.

"The data currently displayed by Zhang Yu, compared with the normal operating data of level 1 of the Spring Autumn Endless Zen, shows that his physical compatibility is about 36%, and his mana compatibility is 15%."

Another minor god nodded secretly after seeing this: "Indeed, his aptitude is outstanding."

"But now it's just a superficial resemblance."

"The key to the Spring Autumn Endless Zen lies in the coordination of Longevity Mana and the forty-nine movements, which involves the connection of various parts of the body and the metabolism of the internal organs. It's not that simple…"

Huang Zichou also knew that learning the movements could be fast, but the internal force and mana operation were not that simple.

This was also evident from the result that Zhang Yu's physical compatibility was 36% and his mana compatibility was 15%.

But as Zhang Yu practiced the fourth and fifth times, Huang Zichou's face became more and more surprised.

In particular, while watching the other party's movements, Huang Zichou was constantly observing the various data transmitted from the detection patch on Zhang Yu's body.

Physical compatibility 58%, mana compatibility 33%

Physical compatibility 69%, mana compatibility 56%

"The progress is so fast."

"It's like a complete transformation every time he practices, like an ordinary high school student practicing for several months."

"Is Zhang Yu's aptitude so terrifying?"

At the same time, Zhang Yu's rapid progress quickly attracted the attention of other minor gods, and even Deng Bingding.

A minor god exclaimed: "The sixth time… physical compatibility 87%, mana compatibility 79%?"

Huang Zichou said: "And his movements are getting faster and faster. Whether it's physical or mana, he is consciously and actively adjusting."

"It shows that during the practice, he is very clear about where his problems are, where his mistakes are, and knows how to adjust to the correct path."

"In particular, he has never repeated the mistakes he has corrected. This control over the body is too amazing."

"Does he really not have a Dharma Body? Does he not have any special bloodline?"

At the same time, Zhang Yu had already begun his seventh practice.

And this time, from the first stance of practicing the Spring Autumn Endless Zen, his physical compatibility and mana compatibility were 100%.

As the next second, third, fourth… stances were displayed one by one, neither physical compatibility nor mana compatibility ever dropped again.

When the forty-nine stances of the Spring Autumn Endless Zen were completed, the gods looked at the 100% compatibility data and knew that Zhang Yu had succeeded.

The latest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

He had completely mastered level 1 of the Spring Autumn Endless Zen.

Just as the gods were surprised, Deng Bingding asked calmly: "How much time?"

Huang Zichou quickly said: "32 minutes and 15 seconds."

At the same time, Zhang Yu raised his hand to the examiners and said, "Examiners, I'm done."

Then he said calmly under everyone's gaze: "I have mastered it."

Looking at Huang Zichou who was walking over, Zhang Yu respectfully said: "Hello, examiner, do you need me to demonstrate it again?"

Huang Zichou shook his head: "No need, we have received your data and there is indeed no problem. Go to the lounge over there to rest first and don't affect the other students in the examination hall."

So Zhang Yu walked to the lounge on the side, and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart: "This time, I should have passed this round of exams today, right?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu, who had been mentally tense, felt as if he had let out a breath, and slumped in the chair, just wanting to rest well.

The past few months of practice, the continuous hard work, the fatigue accumulated day by day… seemed to have found a chance to relax at this moment.

At this moment, Zhang Yu just wanted to rest well today, and it would be best to start preparing for the second round of exams tomorrow.

However, he had just sat down, and his butt hadn't even settled down yet, when a chill rose in his heart.

Listening to the countdown of the ritual, Zhang Yu sighed helplessly.

"This idiot thing."

After sitting for another five seconds, Zhang Yu slowly stood up and continued to practice the Spring Autumn Endless Zen.

...

And Zhang Yu's success and departure naturally also affected the candidates on the scene.

Just like seeing someone hand in their paper early during an exam, many students present inevitably had different thoughts.

Dai Xingzhi looked at Zhang Yu's disappearing figure and thought to himself: "Only half an hour has passed, right? He mastered it so quickly? Is it a three-star or four-star difficulty technique?"

Ye Lingxiao also looked at the time and thought to himself: "32 minutes? Did he deliberately choose a low-star difficulty technique?"

He didn't think too much about it and continued to focus on his Myriad Swords Without End Technique.

Like Dai Xingzhi and Ye Lingxiao, most students only thought that Zhang Yu had chosen a lower-star technique, after all, this was the most likely reason in their opinion.

But Yun Jing, on the other side, when he looked at Zhang Yu's disappearing figure, a number of million flashed across the eyes of his Dharma Body.

This was the judgment of Yun Jing's Dharma Body eyes on Zhang Yu's cultivation technique when he glanced at the practicing Zhang Yu just now.

"A technique priced at million?" Yun Jing's heart moved, and the basic information about the Spring Autumn Endless Zen appeared.

"Spring Autumn Endless Zen, according to my memory just now, is a technique that is rated as eight-star difficulty by the righteous gods."

Yun Jing's eyes narrowed, and he was surprised in his heart: "32 minutes, and he mastered an eight-star difficulty technique?"

"Can I do it?"

Yun Jing estimated it slightly, and the answer appeared in his mind.

"I can't do it."

"Is this guy's martial arts ability stronger than mine?"

"But he chose an eight-star difficulty body-refining martial art? If he chose a ten-star or nine-star technique, he might have succeeded."

"In this exam, the difficulty factor is more important than time. Does he have no interest in competing for first place?"

Yun Jing couldn't understand at all.

Especially as the top student in the Immortal Capital, he had never stopped pursuing first place since he was a child.

In his opinion, the behavior of No. 55 (Zhang Yu) was simply extremely strange.

"He obviously has the opportunity to compete for first place, but he gives up on his own? Why?"

Yun Jing shook his head, temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart, and continued to focus on the cultivation of the Senluo Vientiane Palm, but in the end, Zhang Yu's behavior still affected a trace of his concentration.
