I Can Grant Origin Powers To Anything-Chapter 158 - 157: What do you mean by leaving 200 academic credits?

Chapter 158: Chapter 157: What do you mean by leaving 200 academic credits?

Returning to his own room.

It was clearly morning...

But Li Jingjun’s room was silent. Through the curtains, the faint outlines inside indicated it was empty.

No one knew where she had gone.

Xu Lingjun glanced around casually and planned to head back to his room, but before he opened the door, he heard a noise behind him.

Li Jingjun, dragging her weary steps, slowly walked over from the end of the street. Her simple clothing was somewhat damaged as she made her way to her room.

Reaching the door, she noticed Xu Lingjun’s gaze, nodded slightly, and went inside.

Her steps were a bit unsteady, seemingly from exhaustion.

This girl is so committed... Despite being unfamiliar with the surroundings, she has already started hellish training?

Xu Lingjun couldn’t help but sigh softly. Indeed, whether it is power, resources, or even finances, she surpasses me by far and works harder too... If not for my Talent Source ability, the gap between us would indeed be a despairingly vast one.

He returned to his room.

He opened the "Ninefold Thunder Tribulation" once more.

He didn’t assign the Talent Source immediately, instead, he skimmed through it.

Indeed, it deserved its name as an Ultimate Level Martial Skill, with its use of True Qi reaching the pinnacle of subtlety.

Once one reaches the Dongxuan stage, True Qi is elevated to True Essence.

The difference between True Qi and True Essence is immeasurable... but this "Ninefold Thunder Tribulation" greatly enhances the power of martial artists below Dongxuan.

Although it’s still True Qi, through extreme compression and instant explosion, it can erupt with a destructive power close to True Essence.

However, this makes True Qi too uncontrollable, like a super-enhanced version of the Flame Killing Fist.

It is enhanced to an excessive degree, making it impossible to circulate within the body, and can only be channeled through a weapon, using its power to explode...

The "Ninefold Military Tribulation" certainly lives up to its name.

It’s important to note that weapons also have levels.

A Grade-D weapon is extremely finely crafted, Grade-C is a characteristic weapon with unique traits, and Grade-B weapons not only have strong lethality and substantial material but also possess various magical abilities...

But judging from Liu Zhiyuan’s tone, Grade-B weapons likely can’t withstand the violent burst of True Qi.

The damage to the body is too great; even steel body weapons or those of high grade can’t withstand this destructive force.

This seems to utilize violent clashes between various molecular structures within True Qi, creating explosive chemical reactions.

Similar to a bomb.

"With such explosions, I wonder if my hands could handle it."

Xu Lingjun mused, uncertain which aspect would be enhanced after empowering it with Talent Source... whether it would be power or something else...

He stopped speculating and activated the Talent Source.

The Source Value rapidly decreased by 700 points visible to the naked eye.

Opening it again.

Sure enough, while the incantations were identical to before, what unfolded in his mind was an entirely different set of martial skills.

It wasn’t much different from the "Ninefold Thunder Tribulation," even extremely similar, but had subtle, almost qualitative differences.

The power was somewhat enhanced...

But more significantly, the conflict was greatly reduced.

Xu Lingjun vaguely understood.

This martial skill pursued ultimate destructive power, and everyone had conventionally believed that it should be manifested through a weapon as the medium; inadequate weaponry was seen as a weapon issue, not a martial skill issue, so one just needed to find stronger weapons.

No one had ever thought to improve in reducing harm.

Because even with reductions, it’s still beyond a mortal body to bear...

But in fact, it did have room for optimization since this martial skill, from its creation, wasn’t a sword skill but a martial skill expressed through fists and feet.

Its description was thus; therefore, once empowered with Talent Source, it naturally was this way.

"Although it still inflicts significant self-harm, with my current constitution, I should be able to handle it."

Xu Lingjun continued earnestly studying the technique... yet who could know that the martial skill he was comprehending had become entirely dissimilar from what he held in his hands?

Martial skills can be empowered.

But comprehension must come from oneself.

Fortunately, just as Gu Xi had said, martial skills and cultivation technique are complementary, and Xu Lingjun’s cultivation of the "Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique" provided great assistance when he comprehended the Flame Killing Fist... or rather, propelling martial skills with the "Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique" made it feel much easier.

He felt that when this cultivation technique was perfected, various martial skills might be easily mastered, readily available.

For now, even though it didn’t have this function...

Just half a day of comprehension, and he already felt significant progress... such that when Gu Xi came to see him, asking how his cultivation was progressing.

He spontaneously posed a few questions.

Though Gu Xi wasn’t well-versed in martial skills, she could still offer considerable advice on True Qi circulation.

After resolving Xu Lingjun’s questions.

She was astonished...

This boy had reached a rather profound level of understanding in just half a day.

At that moment, Xu Lingjun looked at the time and said, "By the way, I think the cafeteria is about to open for meals, let’s go eat together."

"No, I made another 200 academic credits through your help yesterday, now I have 276 academic credits. I’m planning to sell 76 credits... Xiaoqing’s health hasn’t worsened to the worst extent yet, but her routine care is still very costly."

"Academic credits can be sold for money?"

Xu Lingjun paused, sensitively detecting something amiss, he asked, "Why are you keeping 200 credits?"

"No reason."

Gu Xi smoothly diverted the topic, saying, "Of course, academic credits can be sold for money; in the Martial Mansion, there are plenty of rich students. They have been well-fed and pampered at home, suddenly coming here, they need to earn everything on their own. They would love to pay for academic credits. The going rate is about 100,000 for one credit, but if you engage in private transactions and have the means, you can get about 130,000 per credit."

Xu Lingjun asked, "Are you keeping 200 credits in case I have an accident, so you won’t be forced to leave school?"

"Hehe, you’re overthinking it."

Gu Xi sighed and said, "Alright, I admit, I have a mental shadow from before. Do you even know how I managed to save up 1,000 academic credits? Just handing them over like that... sigh... I can’t afford to be expelled. You go eat by yourself; you have meals upstairs, I can only afford one meal for one credit downstairs. Those things are beneficial for newcomers but negligible for me. I’d rather sell some credits and eat something fresh and tasty outside."

With that, she waved her hand.

Turned and went out.

Xu Lingjun hurried to the cafeteria.

He had a subscription plan; skipping one meal would mean a loss... especially since the flesh and blood of the Mysterious races of the heavens varied in quality.

Gu Xi told him that during this enrollment period, to earn more credits, the flesh and blood used for cooking were mainly from elite Mysterious races of the heavens. Although they were usually rare, they were now available daily.

Along the way, he ran into Zong Xiaoping, who seemed to be heading for a meal too.

The two went together... freewebnσvel.cѳm

Listening to Zong Xiaoping’s incessant complaints.

Saying that among his roommates, someone snores, someone grinds teeth at night, and someone sleepwalks, practicing martial arts in the dormitory...

He couldn’t rest well at night.

From his tone, it seemed like his roommates were not easy to get along with.

It makes sense; having just been admitted to Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, one of the Great Xia Empire’s top academies, they must be the pride of their previous schools.

Each naturally arrogant, unwilling to yield to anyone.

In fact, if Zong Xiaoping hadn’t met Xu Lingjun, he might have been the same way—humble on the outside, arrogant on the inside... but now...

"I need to work hard, strive to get a single room like you sooner, so I won’t be woken up by people with poor kidneys getting up at night."

Zong Xiaoping patted Xu Lingjun’s shoulder, laughing: "Thankfully, I have a friend like you... come on, let’s go taste the food in the cafeteria."

Xu Lingjun nodded, smiling: "Sure, it’s rare to hear you say the word ’friend’. I’ll treat you."

Treat?

Is a treat even necessary at the cafeteria...

Zong Xiaoping asked in surprise, "You... didn’t buy 100 academic credits, did you?"

"No."

"Oh."

"I bought 150 academic credits."

Zong Xiaoping: "..........."
