Chapter 951: Mission
East Dragon University, teachers housing.
There were rows of villas in various styles such as Western castles and Eastern courtyard houses, looking quite distinct from each other.
Sun Mengmeng led Fang Yuan while walking carefully on the road. âEvery teacher has their own villa. Without permission, donât barge in as you please! Not only do the villas possess the schoolâs seals, but each teacher has their own way of dealing with trespassers. The unreasonable ones could even beat you half dead without anyone batting an eye!â
âI know, theyâre like the cave abodes of cultivators. Of course, I wonât just barge in!â
Fang Yuan nodded and followed Sun Mengmeng toward the periphery. They arrived at an ancient rural courtyard that had red bricks, green roof tiles, and stepped gables.
Sun Mengmeng went to the main entrance and knocked.
âI am Sun Mengmeng. I would like to see Teacher LĂŒ Songyang! I brought a student who has just broken through!â
There was no response from within even after waiting a while.
Sun Mengmeng was slightly puzzled. âThatâs strange. Shouldnât the teachers be around at this time?â
Bang!
Out of the blue, there was a violent vibration. The door opened immediately, and a disgruntled-looking LĂŒ Songyang appeared.
Fang Yuan noticed that his clothes were in a mess, and there were some charred spots. It was possible that there was a lab accident, resulting in an explosion.
âWhat?â
Under his gaze, Sun Mengmeng trembled. âA-according to the school rules, once a first-year has become a cultivator, the first time they visit a teacher, the teacher needs to meet them.â
âYou mean him?â LĂŒ Songyang opened the screen and fished out some information. âLin Meng, a mere 35% brain development? Breaking through immediately after entering school. Yet another who seeks quick success. I wonât accept him! No way!â
âWhat? Only 35%?â
Sun Mengmengâs eyes were wide with surprise.
Of course, she did not have detailed information on Fang Yuan. All along, she had thought that he was a nurtured genius from a renowned family with at least a 50% brain development, which would explain why he broke through immediately upon entering university. Her expression froze.
âYour fundamentals are too weak. Even if you had purchased drugs on loan, coupled with meditation techniques, the most you would have been able to raise it to was 40%. You are among the worst in East Dragon University!â LĂŒ Songyang was full of disdain.
âYou must have heard in my public class? Despite that, you forcibly broke through. You seek quick successes, which is a character flaw. Your future achievements will be limited!â
âJunior, what other specialties do you have? Hurry up and show them!â
Sun Mengmeng was flustered and kept gesturing with her eyes.
âNone!â
Fang Yuan shook his head. His heart settled. So itâs true. After forming spiritual roots and becoming a cultivator, the Mysticâs brain development is hidden. The only way to check would be to open the sea of consciousness. This is absolutely taboo to any cultivator!
After knowing this, he would no longer need to worry about others discovering that his brain development was at 100%.
âHmph, donât bring these kinds of students here in the future!â LĂŒ Songyang stared angrily at Sun Mengmeng and shut the door. âI donât accept any kind of trash!â
âŠ
Inside the dormitory.
Fang Yuan sat crossed-legged and absorbed all the surrounding energy particles in an instant. Resignedly, he opened his eyes and waited for the energy particles to recover.
After being rejected this afternoon, he and Sun Mengmeng went their separate ways on an unhappy note.
It was obvious that Sun Mengmeng felt that Fang Yuanâs potential was limited and not worth her further investment.
However, Fang Yuan was unbothered.
He had more or less known what would happen. The only reason why he had followed Sun Mengmeng to choose a mentor was simply to test his hypothesis.
âStill, I canât stay in this dormitory any longer. Itâll severely hamper my progress!â Fang Yuanâs face was full of dissatisfaction. âI have to raise my cultivation level and accept missions. Then I will move to the higher-level districts. Oh yeah⊠I still need to prepare credits to exchange for a spiritual technique that lets me hide my cultivation!â
âŠ
Although he absorbed all the surrounding energy particles, including those in the nearby rooms every time he cultivated, those around him were all ordinary first-year who had yet to break through. He did not have to worry about being discovered for the time being.
Morning the next day.
After suppressing his urges for an entire night, Fang Yuan cultivated again once the concentration of energy particles had recovered.
Crack!
A crack sounded from his body. He knew then that he had broken through to level two Mystic.
âIn fact, this is normal. Wu Wudi used twenty-seven days to finish Qi Refinement. But compared to me, heâs trash. If there were ample energy particles around, I could reach level five in a mere three days!â
Fang Yuan sighed regretfully. He opened his screen and selected the spiritual techniques category. After browsing through each technique at an incredible pace, he soon found what he was looking for.
âBreath Holding Technique (Spiritual Technique): Able to hide the aura of low-level Mystics. Able to deceive cultivators at the same level! Price: 50 credits!â
âExchange!â
Fang Yuan immediately deducted fifty credits from his account and got his hands on the Breath Holding Technique.
âOneâs aura in this world is energy radiation. Using spiritual roots to affect the operation of a few spiritual power structures, one can affect the bodyâs external radiation, thereby deceivingâŠâ
This technique used a modern train of thought to explain the ancient breath-holding techniques in an easy to understand manner.
âArcane Smart-Brain!â
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.
âThis Breath Holding Technique is about the level of a first-class arcane spell. Itâs just right!â
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.
âHowever, 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!â Fang Yuan groaned. âUnless⊠I modify this Breath Holding Technique!â
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.
âBreath Holding Technique (Modified): Able to hide oneâs 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!â
âPhoton computers are seriously amazing!â
After the modification, Fang Yuan sighed. He was shocked.
Even the simplest Breath Holding Technique had reached a perfectly balanced state after the photon computerâs optimization.
Even he found it hard to surpass, and he could only sacrifice parts of the technique to bolster other parts of its ability.
âHowever, 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 couldnât have finished the modification immediately after purchasing it. HeheâŠâ
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 Universityâs 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.
âAccording 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 commonâŠâ
Fang Yuan considered methods to obtain credits carefully.
âHonestly, 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!â
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.
âAt least, if I want to change dormitories, I need to spend a lot of credits. But I donât want things to become troublesome, so I should settle everything at once⊠and go straight to district five!â
Fang Yuan frowned. He truly had had enough of the safe zoneâs environment.
To his cultivation, it was as though a person dying of thirst was only given a drop of water. It was downright cruel!
âI 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 daysâŠâ
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.
âSchool missionâHunt star beasts! Long-term mission. Mystics can accept. The credits are rewarded according to the star beast materials submitted!â
Fang Yuan found a mission, and his eyes lit up. âThis isnât bad⊠Aside from credits, the star beast materials can sell for a good price⊠After I reach level five, Iâll give it a try!â
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.
âWith this weak body⊠if I donât use my Demon God power, Iâd be able to deal with a single star beast at best. And Iâd die if I were surrounded⊠I should forget it!â
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?
âIâll exclude it for now. Letâs keep looking!â Fang Yuan continued scrolling down. Suddenly, his gaze shifted. âResearch assistant mission?â
