This Divine Spirit Root from Bai Zhenzhen could be said to be the first military-grade power he possessed, filling him with infinite expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, he continuously sensed the information contained in the Dao Seed while testing the effects of this Divine Spirit Root in his dantian bit by bit, beginning to comprehensively summarize its mysteries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, over these past few days, although Zhang Yu had not explored the abilities of the Green Lotus Sword Embryo much, during the process of continuously circulating techniques to nourish the spirit root, he could more or less perceive its effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, by sensing the Dao Seed, it became even more effective, allowing him to gradually understand the various mysteries of the Green Lotus Sword Embryo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Level 2 Green Lotus Sword Embryo still has adaptation as its characteristic, but its adaptability is far stronger than during the past Heavenly Spirit Root period.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This adaptation or enhancement is a long-term adjustment to the body. For example, when Ah Zhen diligently cultivates the Sword Control Art, the Green Lotus Sword Embryo continuously adjusts her body, bit by bit enhancing her reaction speed, thinking speed, mana gathering efficiency, and other aspects, constantly strengthening her sword control ability, allowing her to make rapid progress in swordsmanship.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if one adapts to everything—letting the body adapt to the effects of various medicines, to the tempering of external forces, to the influence of Daoist spells...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then gradually, medicines would find it hard to affect the cultivator, so they would cease to work. If the body suffers no damage during cultivation, then the various cultivation methods would struggle to change oneself. If Daoist spells cannot exert influence, then the power of Daoist spells would not be able to enhance oneself...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Adapting to everything would only slow down the improvement of cultivation base and even lead the cultivator astray.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu thought to himself, \"The adaptation of the Green Lotus Sword Embryo is by no means blind all-round adaptation, but rather a selective adaptation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The direction of selection is determined by the user's state and intention.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For example, Ah Zhen wanted to hide her spirit root, so day after day, she was continuously strengthened with an increasingly powerful hiding ability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Later, she focused on cultivating martial arts, so the Green Lotus Sword Embryo began to strengthen her martial talent in that regard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And in high school, Ah Zhen awakened the deduction ability of the Green Lotus Sword Embryo, which was a manifestation of this adaptive enhancement. At that time, she was able to deduce techniques, change the Level 10 effect, and obtain an effect more suitable for herself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that I am using the Green Lotus Sword Embryo, what direction will it push me towards?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Zhang Yu thought that the Green Lotus Sword Embryo would gradually enhance his civil engineering techniques as he worked and worked overtime again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon he realized he was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Green Lotus Sword Embryo... is enhancing the set effects of my Chain Diagram?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Zhang Yu felt puzzled by this, but soon he gradually understood the reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Green Lotus Sword Embryo adaptively strengthens in the direction of the cultivator's focused improvement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And my Chain Diagram sets—do they drastically change my physique and various talents during the switching process?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This drastic change after switching sets triggers the adaptive enhancement of the Green Lotus Sword Embryo, making it think that I am growing in that direction? Therefore, the adaptive enhancement of the Green Lotus Sword Embryo adjusts my body to strengthen the set effects.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems the previous True Spirit Root could not do this. Is this something that can only be done after evolving into a Divine Spirit Root?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When switching to the University Sacred Body, the True Spirit Root began to strengthen my technique cultivation ability...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When switching to the Civil Engineering Sacred Body, it strengthens various resistances and reduces lifespan consumption...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When switching to Qi Vein Eternal Flow, it strengthens mana recovery speed and reduces consumption efficiency...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu could sense that although this process was very subtle and very slow, the Green Lotus Sword Embryo was indeed adaptively strengthening in the direction of the sets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he realized this, a surge of surprise and joy welled up in Zhang Yu's heart. He understood that the Green Lotus Sword Embryo's help to him would be unprecedented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the adjustments and enhancements of the Green Lotus Sword Embryo to the body are long-term.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does this mean that even if I switch from the University Sacred Body to the Civil Engineering Sacred Body, the enhancement of my learning ability by the Green Lotus Sword Embryo is still retained?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Doesn't that mean... with the Green Lotus Sword Embryo, I can permanently retain a portion of the set effects on my body?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu had always placed great importance on the effects of the Chain Diagram sets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the biggest problem with the Chain Diagram sets was that only one set could be used at a time, and they were difficult to combine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if, through the Green Lotus Sword Embryo's enhancement, his body could possess a portion of the set effects under normal conditions, that would be a qualitative leap in Zhang Yu's strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu let out a deep breath, suppressed the surprise and excitement in his heart, and began to summarize the effects of the Green Lotus Sword Embryo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For me, the greatest effect of the Green Lotus Sword Embryo is to enhance my set effects.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Secondly, after I switch sets, I can still retain some of the set effects.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But how much can ultimately be strengthened and retained... remains unknown for now. It will take months or even years of slow cultivation before I know the outcome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, there are also abilities that have already reached the Foundation Establishment limit after switching sets. Even if the Green Lotus Sword Embryo adjusts my body, it seems unable to enhance them further.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For example, the peak Foundation Establishment drug tolerance from the Great Learning Sacred Body, and the peak Foundation Establishment digestive ability—the Green Lotus Sword Embryo seems unable to strengthen them further.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu could sense that because of the wide variety of set effects, the adaptive strengthening of the Green Lotus Sword Embryo to different set effects would obviously vary greatly. This would require him to gradually familiarize himself and comprehend slowly in his future cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this, Zhang Yu merely showed a faint smile. Experiencing the profound mysteries of his own power—wasn't this a kind of happy trouble?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With the Feather Codex and Green Lotus Sword Embryo, just how strong will I become in a few years?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Truly something to look forward to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there were also the concealment and deduction abilities of the Green Lotus Sword Embryo—the former granting powerful combat and stealth capabilities, the latter strengthening techniques to a higher level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another thing that intrigued and excited Zhang Yu was the next upgrade of the Green Lotus Sword Embryo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To upgrade the Green Lotus Sword Embryo to level 3, it requires the nourishment of ten level-30 techniques.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh... that's something only a Golden Core cultivator could accomplish, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu shook his head. Although he was full of anticipation, he understood this was by no means something achievable in a short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, without sufficient strength...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It probably wouldn't be a good thing to let Azhen's Green Lotus Sword Embryo ascend again too early, exposing it under the watchful eyes of the Seven Emotions Divine Lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the simulation construction site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As class ended, Gongshu Jin and Ying Xin and the others slowly left the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongshu Jin swept his gaze over the crowd, curious: \"Zhang Yu has been taking leave these past few days—what has he been up to?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And at yesterday's banquet, he just focused on eating, not even taking the chance to get to know a few friends from other schools.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even though eating is important, yesterday was a rare opportunity...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongshu Jin always felt that Zhang Yu's behavior seemed a bit lackluster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At yesterday's banquet, everyone was a competition contestant from top universities—every single one was a scholar among scholars, holding rare resources from other universities, and many were even more impressive than Zhang Yu or Ji Yuanshu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Gongshu Jin's view, every such friend added was another increment of immortal path potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention exchanging resources between their respective schools—even having an extra person to borrow money from was a plus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He himself had added over a dozen friends yesterday, which he considered a slight increase in his immortal path potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Gongshu Jin's gaze focused on a figure standing outside the simulation construction site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That person is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered him—Wen Wuyan from Tianjian University, another scholar participating in the flying sword competition like Bai Zhenzhen, and another inheritor of a Divine Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his popularity on the Spirit Web this time wasn't as high as Bai Zhenzhen's, Gongshu Jin remembered that his competition ranking was actually higher than Bai Zhenzhen's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Was it around rank 15?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why is he at the simulation construction site?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Wuyan had come looking for Bai Zhenzhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just before the Tianjian University team was set to leave, Bai Zhenzhen had disappeared again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he found the place where Zhang Yu attended class, wanting to see if Bai Zhenzhen was nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Wen Wuyan's gaze swept over the Foundation Establishment class, a figure walked up to him—it was Ji Yuanshu from the 6th layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the student with the best grades and the highest background present, Ji Yuanshu considered himself the most suitable person to engage with Wen Wuyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he also wanted to see if he could take this opportunity to... establish a connection with a disciple of a Divine Lord from the 10th layer like Wen Wuyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I can add him as a friend, or even take a photo and post it on my feed, my fortune should increase quite a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Yuanshu recalled the methods of fortune-enhancing techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once upon a time, there was a senior from the Finance Department who went around taking photos with the strong, making many people think he had deep connections and knew many wealthy people. As a result, his qi fortune soared and his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. The only regret was that in the end, he couldn't withstand the backlash…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Yuanshu opened his mouth and said, \"Hello, I'm Ji Yuanshu from the Civil Engineering Department of Wanfa University.
