Chapter 195: The challenge of reading technique, the second reward (long chapter)
Zhou Yue did not get up and leave the practice room immediately.
He simply ate some food he had prepared in advance, and his conversation with Feng Yongde flashed through his mind.
"There are many ways to gain contribution points during the freshmen stage, and completing the enrollment tasks is just the beginning."
"In addition, before the official start of school, how much contribution points can be obtained by increasing the telekinesis value. Breaking through the first realm will be directly rewarded with 100 points, and the second realm will be directly rewarded with 1,000 points."
"In fact, in the entire history of Relic Realm College, there are only a handful of people who can break through the second realm as freshmen. As far as I know, no one from Zhonglu College has received this award in the past thirty years.
.The significance of this 1,000-point contribution reward is more about motivation and encouragement.”
"In addition to improving one's own cultivation, there are two other ways, which are to compete in rankings and cross-grade challenges."
"If you want to compete in the rankings, you can consider challenging the 'Psychic Skills Ranking'."
"Purchase a telekinesis technique in the college information center and learn it on the spot in the practice room."
"The shorter the learning time, the higher the ranking on the ranking list, and the more contribution points will be rewarded."
…
"Psychic skills?"
Zhou Yue secretly shook his head.
Telepathy, sound transmission, light of breath, etc., all belong to the category of skills.
For ordinary freshmen, and even most first-year students, many mental skills are still difficult to overcome.
However, in Grandmaster Bai Yan's notes, there are numerous techniques for using telekinesis, some of which are derived from actual combat, while others are imaginary and creative.
During Zhou Yue's seclusion in Shell Street for more than half a month, in the process of sorting out Bai Yan's notes, he had classified these skills into categories. He already had a deep enough understanding of most of the skills. If the remaining skills are really needed,
You will also learn quickly.
The most important thing is that the library has restrictions on the purchase of teaching videos for freshmen. Freshmen can only purchase one subject at a time.
Go challenge the telekinesis skill list, the price/performance ratio is too low.
If you have this time, it’s better to challenge the list with a higher reward limit.
"It's time to master the art of mind."
Zhou Yue's eyes flashed, and the telekinesis core disk purchased in advance floated out and was sent into the holographic projector in front.
Before he chose the telekinesis technique, he consulted the glasses senior at the front desk in detail.
The exchange price for primary telekinesis is generally between 50 contribution points and 500 contribution points.
The telepathy technique chosen by Zhou Yue sells for 80 contribution points, which is very close to the people, but it is the telepathy technique that almost every telepathy cultivator must choose.
Its scientific name is [Psychic Movement].
This is the so-called "teleport" on the ground city network.
If we say that the difficulty of controlling objects with mind power is like addition and subtraction in mathematics.
The difficulty of Breathing Light is comparable to multiplication and division.
Then the difficulty of elementary telekinesis rises directly to the level of solving equations.
Many students don't consider learning their first nenjutsu until they are in second grade.
The holographic projection was turned on, and a man appeared on the screen, his figure and appearance blurred.
However, Zhou Yue recognized at a glance that the other person was the instructor in the video on basic mind cultivation.
The man explained and demonstrated at the same time.
Every time he made an action or gesture, his body would disappear out of thin air, and when he reappeared, he would be in another place.
Zhou Yue observed carefully.
The teacher's movement range is always within a semicircle and never exceeds this distance.
"There are two main points in telekinesis."
"First, the distance you move can only be within the farthest distance where you release your telekinesis, and you can only move to a place you can see."
"Only after you have mastered this mental skill, can you move to the place you sense."
"When you reach great perfection, you can even move to the places you have been to in your memory. Of course, this is basically only something that can be done by a master or above."
"Secondly, something that all telekinesis and imperial arts need to pay attention to is the issue of hand seals."
"The mind seal, also known as the mind seal, has only one purpose, which is to allow spiritual thoughts to flow throughout the body and stimulate the whole body's talents."
"I still remember what I said at the beginning of the basic mind training course. Mind power originates from the brain, but it is not limited to the brain. The physical body can also be the carrier of mind power."
"According to incomplete statistics, practitioners who often use Nenjutsu mudra practice at least 2 to 4 times faster than those who don't like to use Nenjutsu mudra."
"Nenju mudra is mainly divided into fist postures, palm postures, finger postures and double gestures."
"Many masters have their signature unique telekinesis mudras."
"Everyone can also develop their own Nenjutsu mudra according to their own preferences."
…
Zhou Yue nodded slightly: "This teacher taught in such detail that he even used hand gestures to teach. Isn't it a waste of time in the water class?"
Zhou Yue followed the teacher's demonstration and imitated the double hand gestures and boxing postures respectively, but he always felt strange.
"Do I need another lunge?"
Zhou Yue joked casually, but found that there was no one to joke with. He shook his head and closed his eyes, and his consciousness sank into the spiritual world.
Gray lines appear on all sides of the mind area No. 1.
White lines appear on each surface of the No. 2 mind area.
The two mental areas started operating at the same time, establishing a mental model.
Zhou Yue, who was concentrating on simulating telekinesis, did not notice that a telepathic hawk on the top of the training room turned its head and aimed at him.
hiss!
The holographic projection that was originally closed was reopened.
A ranking list appeared on the projection screen.
The ranking list is gray, so you may not be able to spot it unless you look carefully.
A line of large characters appeared at the top of the ranking list.
[The overall ranking of the seven colleges by the completion time of telekinesis]
Time passed minute by minute.
Zhou Yue was completely immersed in the construction and debugging of the model, with a peaceful face and a calm expression, except for his eyelashes that trembled slightly from time to time.
The curls of green smoke drifting out of the incense burner were rising beside Zhou Yue, like a dream.
The cultivator is immersed in it and forgets everything, and can no longer sense the passage of time.
At this moment, a text description appeared on the gray ranking list:
...Beginning more than thirty years ago, holographic projection recording technology has been fully popularized in the seven heritage branches.
...All meditation methods, mind skills, and imperial skills are distributed to students in the form of video materials, and smart eagle eye recorders are equipped in the practice rooms.
...Students study on-site in the practice room, and all results will be included in the system or entered into the historical rankings.
If Zhou Yue opened his eyes at this time, he would definitely find that there are many familiar names on the first page of this list.
Behind the name, there is the time it took to learn [Psychic Movement], as well as the date on the list.
The text description flashed by, and the screen darkened again.
…
I don't know how long it took before Zhou Yue opened his eyes.
The number of incense sticks in the furnace seems to never decrease.
Little Ma Tuan was still snoring.
"I can really sleep. Are you about to change your character?"
Zhou Yue gently stroked the soft feathers of the little pockmark.
He didn't know how much time had passed.
Six hours? Seven hours? Or most of a day?
The academy's practice room is so boring. Once you are immersed in it, it will be difficult to feel how fast time passes.
At this time, in Zhou Yue's mind area, the model representing [Psychic Movement Technique] has stopped being constructed and is running repeatedly at a very uniform speed.
"Finally stabilized? OK, give it a try!"
Zhou Yue stood up, looked forward, and thought about the mental mudra that suited him.
Middle finger gesture?
No, no, the meaning of this action can be understood by any practitioner of mindfulness, which is too inconsistent with my gentle and elegant image.
"Yes."
An idea flashed in Zhou Yue's mind, he stretched out his hand forward, crossed his thumb and index finger, and then smiled.
Refill.
The mental model in the mental area runs faster!
The two thought balls spun rapidly at the same time, the thought power surged, like a river turning over the sea, and the entire spiritual world was shaken!
0.6 seconds later, Zhou Yue's figure disappeared, and there was no ripple in the air, as if the whole person had completely disappeared in this world.
Almost at the same time, Zhou Yue's figure appeared out of thin air more than ten meters away.
"Success!"
Zhou Yue's eyes flashed with joy.
More than two months ago, when he was still an ordinary high school student in Nanhe City, he followed Shi Qing to eliminate the apostle group. For the first time, he witnessed Shi Qing using telekinesis to dodge bullets by teleporting. He was shocked for a moment.
People are unforgettable.
Just two months later, he himself learned to teleport.
When Zhou Yue made this series of moves, the silently rotating telepathic eagle eye on top kept tracking him.
Wow.
The holographic projection ranking list lights up.
Zhou Yue looked up, his eyes focused, and a trace of nervousness emerged in his heart.
Although it was fleeting, for him nowadays, such emotions are very rare.
"This is the ranking of the time it takes to learn [Psychic Movement Technique]? The shorter the time, the higher the ranking."
Zhou Yue breathed out gently.
There are no clocks or timers in the entire practice room.
I think the purpose is to allow students to enter a state of selflessness and not notice the passage of time and... the consumption of contribution points.
"Who designed the practice room? It's really too dark."
Zhou Yue originally wanted to take out his phone to check the time, but then he thought about it and realized he didn't know when it started, so he had to give up.
His ultimate goal is to compete in the rankings. The higher he ranks on the rankings, the more contribution rewards he will receive.
The contribution value is not only related to the ranking of the freshman list, but can also be exchanged for tribute coins and used in the Sky City, which is the guarantee for the survival of him and his contract partners.
I don’t know how high it can be ranked? It must be higher!
Zhou Yue prayed silently in his heart.
He raised his head and began to search for his name on the ranking list.
More than a thousand people on the first page of the rankings all learned [Psychic Movement] in one day.
Among the hundreds of thousands of previous students from the Seventh Academy, the students ranked on the first page are already considered the elite among the elite.
Most of the students on this page have been on the list in recent years.
This shows that with the advancement of the times, the cognitive level and learning methods of practitioners are also rapidly improving. The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. This is absolutely true.
"I should be on the first page too."
Zhou Yue is still confident about this.
He swiped directly from bottom to top and soon saw an acquaintance... Fang Weitong, who took 23 hours and 48 minutes and ranked 398th.
"Okay, Lao Fang. This is the overall ranking of the seven colleges in the past thirty years." Zhou Yue secretly gave a thumbs up to the "traitor" senior.
At that time, Fang Weitong probably had not yet gotten involved with Grandmaster Lu Li.
At least at that time, Senior Fang was definitely the pride of Nanhe City.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yue saw several familiar names.
...Chen Wenxi took 20 hours and 7 minutes and ranked 243rd.
...Song Yuxin took 19 hours and 34 minutes and ranked 198th.
…
...Shi Qing, who took 10 hours and 49 minutes, ranked 86th.
"Has he entered the top 100? He was still in his first year of school. As expected of Fat Shi." Zhou Yue praised Shi.
...Goddess Ming, which took 9 hours and 38 minutes, ranked 21st.
Zhou Yue's expression stiffened slightly: "Such a second-ranked name... must be Xiao Ming's sister. So it turns out that this ranking can also use a pseudonym? With such a fake pseudonym, are you really not afraid of being complained by all the cultivators in the federation?"
The higher you go up the rankings, the more intense the competition becomes.
Zhou Yue still didn't see his name.
From 100th place to 11th place, it takes about 10 hours.
From the 10th place to the 6th place, it took more than 8 hours.
Going up to the top, 5th, 4th, and 3rd place, the time is about 7 hours.
Soon, Zhou Yue saw the second place, and a smile appeared on his face.
...Tang Nianyi took 5 hours and 10 minutes and ranked second.
"Second in history, awesome." Zhou Yue said to himself.
Looking at the time when the record was set, it turned out to be more than two years ago, when Tang Xiaobai was still in the first grade of high school.
Zhou Yue once again experienced Tang Xiaobai's astonishing talent.
Although this list is not equivalent to a real talent ranking, those who may be at the top of this list are naturally the most talented cultivators in the entire federation.
But even though she was as strong as Tang Xiaobai, there was still someone ahead of her, occupying the first place.
The first place was registered last year and took 5 hours and 9 minutes, which coincidentally was only one minute longer than Tang Xiaobai.
Look at this person's name again.
...Li Niantang.
"Nian Tang? This guy deliberately chose this name and wanted to use the rankings to attract girls?"
Zhou Yue wrote down the name, but his heart was as calm as ever and he didn't feel much.
How should I describe my relationship with Tang Xiaobai?
Although neither of them had spoken out, it was like a game that had nothing to do with winning or losing, with each other making moves and testing, but they trusted each other and tacitly enjoyed the wonderful experience that only belonged to the two of them in the process.
After an instant, Zhou Yue's attention returned to the ranking list, and his heart sank slightly.
He had scanned the first page from bottom to top, but still didn't see his name.
"this……"
"Isn't it possible that I didn't even get into the first thousand places on the first page?"
Zhou Yue scratched his head, smiled secretly, and was about to search after a thousand people.
Suddenly, the first page of the list began to shake.
It's like the waves caused by the long wind blowing across the water.
Amid the turmoil, the rankings of these thousand names changed at the same time.
Fang Weitong went from 398th to 399th.
Chen Wenxi changed from 243rd to 244th.
Song Yuxin went from 198th to 199th.
…
Shi Qing went from 86th to 87th.
…
Tang Nianyi went from second place to third place.
Li Niantang went from first place to second place.
…
The waves stopped and the list gradually returned to calm.
At the top of the gray ranking list, a new row appeared, but no matter the name, completion time, or completion date, they were all blank.
At this time, Zhou Yue saw the informative text popping up from the left side of the list.
"According to the pre- and post-breath monitoring comparison of Telepathy Eagle Eye, it took you a total of 36 minutes to learn [Psychic Movement Technique]."
"Congratulations, Zhou Yue, for becoming the latest record holder for the time it took you to learn this art of telepathy."
