And to an extremely profound level?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cong Na's first reaction, of course, was not that Zhang Yu had stolen the technique or absorbed her own palm force; she simply thought his Tendon Severing Palm level was very high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing this situation, Cong Na let out a light laugh, and layers of Qi burst forth from within her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems I really underestimated you earlier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I'll get a little more serious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Cong Na punched out, bringing with it strands of spiral Qi, like a huge drill bit, blasting fiercely toward Zhang Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was precisely the Star Aether Meridian Rushing Technique of the Earth and Wood system, which, when cultivated to a high level, had the effect of splitting mountains and drilling ground, rapidly digging tunnels through rock and underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at this moment, with Cong Na's fist, wherever the spiral Qi passed, the atmosphere exploded with noise everywhere, and the humanoid Qi blocking her were torn apart like strips of paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next moment, another humanoid Qi charged straight over, with the same clenching of fist, bending of elbow… then blasting out fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The identical spiral Qi erupted with a bang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Cong Na's fist and the humanoid Qi's fist collided violently, the explosive energy burst outward in all directions centered on the point of impact, stirring up gusts of wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He also knows Star Aether Meridian Rushing Technique?!\" Cong Na was surprised again in her heart, but she quickly came to her senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning-quickly recalling the battle process just now in her mind, Cong Na thought to herself: \"He absorbed my power and then released it again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a formidable borrowing of force to strike.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which type of technique is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are many techniques that can channel force, borrow power to strike, or even rebound attacks, but Cong Na thought briefly and couldn't think of one that had such a miraculous effect—not only absorbing and releasing her power but even simulating her moves with Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, although the humanoid Qi in front of her released the Star Aether Meridian Rushing Technique it had just absorbed, it ultimately had less foundational power than Cong Na, and after a moment of stalemate, it was shattered again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cong Na took a deep breath, the fighting spirit and will to fight in her eyes burning ever more fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who would have thought that among this year's freshmen, there would be a genius like you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! I'm talking to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Zhang Yu, who didn't even turn his head and was still focusing on his work, Cong Na grinned and said, \"An arrogant freshman.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then try this move—can you mimic it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Cong Na's arms shook, and below her elbows, one hole after another appeared. Martial Qi, accelerated through artificial meridians, was released at high speed from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the parts below the elbows began to spin faster and faster…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At the Foundation Establishment stage, just having powerful martial arts is useless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only when powerful martial arts are paired with compatible artifice bones can a technique's strongest power be brought out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cong Na understood that the vast majority of college students did not have the qualifications to learn and use military-grade techniques; expert-level techniques were the upper limit that everyone could learn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in such a situation, if one wanted to further raise the upper limit of one's expert-level technique, using artifice bones specifically suited to the technique to enhance its power was the direction many students would choose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, as Cong Na activated her Xingxiao Pulse Arm, the power of her next punch would skyrocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as Cong Na was about to strike, a message popped up in her eye relic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Xuan: Stop, Cong Na.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cong Na: Why stop? My next punch will definitely defeat him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Xuan: It's just a test, why use the Xingxiao Arm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cong Na: Even without using the hand dharma relic, give me some time and I'll still defeat him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cong Na: Abusing Gang Qi to borrow force, with his mana, how long can he last?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Xuan: Cong Na, this is just a test, not a real fight. Don't get carried away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cong Na wanted to retort, but the other person's next sentence calmed her down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Xuan: Fighting like this, the shell of your Xingxiao Arm will get worn, right? And how many more uses before your impact joints need replacement?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Xuan: Fighting this Zhang Yu is quite time-consuming, laborious, and costly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about the maintenance bill for dharma relics, Cong Na immediately felt that among classmates, sparring should be done in moderation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as her fighting spirit and battle intent were both suppressed, Cong Na increasingly realized that Ma Xuan was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This guy... can take a hit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And it's the kind of taking a hit after borrowing force to counter, a straight-on clash.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I keep fighting him, my dharma relics will get worn down a lot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Cong Na had played games, then at this moment when she looked at Zhang Yu, she would feel he was like those monsters in games that are especially good at depleting equipment durability; even if you win, you have to spend a lot of money to repair your gear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cong Na: So? Are you planning to recruit him into the team?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Xuan: If you met such an opponent in the department's selection tournament, would you feel uncomfortable?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cong Na squinted slightly: A bit disgusting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Xuan: Exactly. This Zhang Yu can not only disgust opponents mentally, but this skill of borrowing force is also a wild card, very suitable for having him stall the opponent's strongest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Cong Na felt a slight joy in her heart, as if she could already see the constipated expressions of other upperclassmen when dealing with Zhang Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Xuan: Moreover, he has been at Wanfa University for less than a year. By the time the department selection starts in the second half of this year, his strength will definitely have increased significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, in another floor of Wanfa University City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Xuan, who was communicating with Cong Na, thought to himself: \"Using Gang Qi to absorb and rebound the opponent's power, this technique... seems to be the Nine Heavens Cloud Void Force, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To actually master a former military-grade martial art—although this technique is now rated as expert-level, it's not something you can just casually buy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Zhang Yu... can be our secret weapon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, after finishing his work, Zhang Yu turned to look at Cong Na and asked with some curiosity, \"Why aren't you attacking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cong Na smiled slightly and said, \"The strength you've shown is enough to pass the test. And I'm not one for meaningless battles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a coincidence, me neither.\" Zhang Yu smiled upon hearing this and subconsciously touched the Black Silk Flying Sword on his index finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the other party had just used the dharma relic to unleash the Xingxiao Pulse-Charging Art, he would have had no choice but to use the Black Silk Flying Sword given by Bai Zhenzhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Zhang Yu asked, \"So... I passed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an outstanding student of Wanfa University, Cong Na was also someone who accepted reality very quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After understanding Zhang Yu's strength, she changed her previous attitude toward ordinary freshmen and said politely, \"Personally, I think you're absolutely fine. Welcome to join our competition team.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But we still need the other team members to agree as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's add each other as friends first. Once they agree, I'll pull you into the group.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After bidding farewell to Cong Na, Zhang Yu's figure flickered and he was already hurrying toward the underground cemetery again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn't expect it to go so smoothly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This way, I can participate in the competition next semester.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a message from Le Mulan appeared in his eye relic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Le Mulan: Zhang Yu, I feel like my mana is about to undergo some kind of transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this message, Zhang Yu’s spirits lifted; he thought to himself, today really is a double blessing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu: Where are you? I’ll come over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, Zhang Yu rushed into the dormitory and saw Le Mulan sitting cross-legged, waves of chill radiating from her entire body, causing even the temperature of the whole room to drop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Zhang Yu, Le Mulan spoke: \"I feel like it’s almost there, but it still seems to be missing just a little bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu strode over and said, \"Stay seated and don’t move. Let me give you a hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a surge of mana was channeled into Le Mulan’s body by Zhang Yu, after slowly absorbing that mana, she suddenly felt a tremor in her dantian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, a terrifying chill erupted from her dantian, sweeping through all the meridians in her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wherever the chill passed, the mana circulating within Le Mulan abruptly transformed, undergoing a qualitative change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst this transformation, her blood energy and mana seemed to stall, and she grew drowsy, sinking into a half-asleep, half-awake state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, her entire body felt as if it had frozen, and her consciousness seemed to enter a state of hibernation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After who knows how long, when she came to, she found that her meridians and mana had undergone earth-shaking changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before Le Mulan could carefully sense those changes, she noticed that Zhang Yu behind her was stiff and motionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhang Yu got frozen stiff?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Le Mulan was startled: \"Could it be that when he was channeling mana into me, he was affected by my body?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1979,"2026-05-29T04:54:42.391Z","2026-06-01T04:29:12.818Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","607f5295ae50ca46eba87aaab9cb19a0f96b967dd3f894894933185a74bb574e","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-339","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-337",711,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fno-money-what-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
