Chapter 35: Cultivation Plan
Chapter 35: Cultivation Plan
Through his conversations with Teacher Xu Bo and Instructor Xing, Li Yuan understood that early signing did not exempt him from attending university.
Early signing was essentially an investment by the Martial Palace, which would provide Li Yuan with a certain amount of cultivation guidance, but it would not cover everything.
The best path for him was still to take the college entrance examination and attend Martial University.
"According to Teacher Xu, the Martial Palace is a gathering place for warriors, and its primary responsibility in the entire human civilization is to undertake combat missions rather than cultivation missions."
"The Martial Palace needs immediate combat power," Li Yuan thought to himself, "The ones responsible for cultivation missions are the Martial Universities, where the most comprehensive warrior training is conducted."
"Whether it's the nation or the Seven Star Alliance, all kinds of precious resources will be invested in the Martial Universities."
"Many precious resources are provided for free in the universities, but within the Martial Palace, one has to spend a fortune to acquire them."
"Even some precious resources are not available in the Martial Palace."
Attending Martial University would allow him to receive the best warrior training.
Many top-tier warriors would take turns serving in various Martial Universities, guiding the younger generations.
"Only through systematic learning in a Martial University can one progress more steadily and further on the path of a warrior," Li Yuan did not dare to be arrogant.
Yes, he had the good fortune of awakening the Divine Palace, but the more he saw, the more he realized how insignificant he was.
"Just as Uncle said,"
"On the path of growth, one sometimes needs the support of a benefactor and the help of opportunities." Li Yuan silently recited in his heart, "Teacher Xu Bo is my benefactor."
"Signing early with Starfire Combat Palace is my opportunity."
"What I need to do is to make good use of them, helping me enter a broader field."
...
Inside the Flaming Star Space.
"Little Yu, isn't my cultivation points at 3 million?" Li Yuan asked in confusion, "Why does it show only 2.8 million points?"
"Master."
"As an L3 member, you enjoy numerous privileges within the Martial Palace every year, such as the family card and your personal Martial Arts Studio... These require a payment of 200,000 points, which is a mandatory deduction." The purple-robed maiden said playfully, "Cultivation points are exclusive to those who sign early."
"Their function is similar to points, but they can only be used to purchase non-physical cultivation services."
"The deduction will be made using your cultivation points first," the purple-robed maiden explained.
Li Yuan immediately understood.
If points were the currency within the Martial Palace, then cultivation points... were like 'coupons' for those who signed early, and they came with many restrictions.
"They can only be used to pay for annual fees, master guidance, skill manuals, Origin Power pills, cultivation videos..." Li Yuan checked the usage of cultivation points.
All of them were non-physical.
"No wonder the Martial Palace is so generous," Li Yuan muttered to himself, "3 million cultivation points? Nominally worth 3 million Bluestar coins, but for things like manuals, cultivation videos... The Martial Palace can replicate them endlessly, so the cost is almost zero."
Some cultivation resources could be replicated and were not actually precious, so the Martial Palace appeared more generous.
However, for physical resources, such as Vital Energy Potions, which required a significant amount of resources to produce, the Martial Palace would strictly control their distribution.
Of course, the function of cultivation points, although not as good as points, was still quite useful.
...
"The higher the rank within the Martial Palace, the higher the authority, and the less points are required for the same services, right?" Li Yuan looked at the Flaming Star Rank explanation, "I'm currently at L3, which isn't too bad among all Martial Palace members."
Through his conversations with Instructor Xing, he had some understanding.
L1 was for trial members.
L2 was the rank of most Martial Palace members, and most warriors at this level were below level 15. Probationary members with D-Rank and C-Rank contracts were also at this level.
L3 was usually for the management of lower-level Martial Palaces, and probationary members with B-Rank contracts were also at this level.
L4 and L5 often required Second Rank Origin Warriors to attain.
Grandmaster Wan, for example, was an L5 member.
"Unless I upgrade to an A-Rank contract, otherwise, until I become a Second Rank Origin Warrior, I'll remain an L3 member." Li Yuan flipped through the requirements of his B-Rank contract.
To improve his Flaming Star Rank? It depended on talent and strength, as well as contributions made to the Martial Palace.
For instance, probationary members with A-Rank contracts were L4 members.
"A Probationary Member with an S-Class Contract? Directly a Level 5 Member!"
There were three paths to upgrade from a B-Class Contract to an A-Class Contract, according to the contract terms.
"First, awaken your Martial Spirit."
"Second, pass the entrance exam for Starfire University."
"Third, before the age of 18, reach 300 points in the Starry Sky Combat Network's Meteor Rank." Li Yuan frowned slightly.
In Li Yuan's eyes, the first two paths were quite similar.
"If I can awaken my Martial Spirit, with a 10% score bonus, I can study hard for the next eight months, and my chances of passing the Starfire University entrance exam will be extremely high." Li Yuan thought to himself, "If I don't awaken my Spirit, my chances of passing the exam are basically zero."
Starfire University was one of the top three global Martial Arts Schools, alongside Starlight University and Blackstone University.
Just from their names, it was clear that these three top-tier Martial Arts Schools had close ties to the three great Martial Palaces.
The difficulty of passing their entrance exams far exceeded that of the five top academies in Xia Nation.
These five academies in Xia Nation admitted a total of around 10,000 students from across the nation each year.
Looking at the global scale, there were over a dozen Martial Arts Universities that could rival the five top academies in Xia Nation.
However, according to Li Yuan's knowledge, Starfire University admitted less than 1,000 students globally each year, and no more than 300 students from Xia Nation annually.
Those who could pass the entrance exams for the top three global Martial Arts Schools, except for a very small number of specially recruited students, were at least the top ten Martial Arts geniuses in their province.
"It's said that those who can smoothly graduate from Starfire University are basically Second Rank Origin Warriors." Li Yuan shook his head slightly.
Provincial Martial Arts Schools, the five top academies in Xia Nation, and the top three global Martial Arts Schools—these were three distinct tiers.
"Martial Arts scores, top ten in the province?"
It wasn't that Li Yuan didn't dare to dream; it was just that without awakening his Martial Spirit, why would he even consider it?
Even if Li Yuan scored 1000 points in Martial Arts, it would still be difficult to break into the top ten in the province.
Others would have a total score of 1100 points.
In life, one must be realistic.
"My scores haven't even broken into the top ten in the school, let alone the province?" Li Yuan didn't want to think about it anymore. "Compared to the first two paths, the third path seems more realistic."
Before the age of 18, reach 300 points in the Meteor Rank on the Starry Sky Combat Network.
Although this path was also difficult, given Li Yuan's progress in Martial Arts techniques, there was a glimmer of hope.
...
After sorting everything out, Li Yuan spoke softly, "Little Yu, I need a cultivation plan tailored to me."
"Okay."
"Please have the master fill out their personal information again, and make sure to fill it out truthfully." Little Yu said, "This way, the Martial Palace's Intelligent System can create the best plan."
Whoosh~
With a wave of Little Yu's hand, a light screen immediately appeared.
It had numerous fields to be filled out.
Age, gender, Life Tier, fist power, burst speed, weapon proficiency, Martial Arts techniques, cultivation techniques... there were over a hundred items.
"The Martial Palace should have my information, but they probably want to reconfirm it." Li Yuan thought as he filled out each field.
Having the Divine Palace Panel, the accuracy of Li Yuan's filled-out information was bound to far exceed that of other probationary members.
"Please wait a moment, master." Little Yu said, "I'm applying for access to the Intelligent System to create a cultivation plan for you."
After more than ten minutes...
"Master, it's done." Little Yu said, "Please review it."
Buzz~
A massive light screen quickly appeared in front of Li Yuan, filled with dense text and descriptions.
"Assist in improving physical qualities, mainly by taking a Basic Qi Blood Potion every two days... Due to not cultivating Advanced Techniques, take at least one Essence Energy Pill every month." Li Yuan read the first item: "Monthly cost of approximately 130,000 Blue Star Coins/Points."
"Basic Spirit Nourishing Potion, three bottles per month, costing approximately 90,000 Blue Star Coins/Points..."
"Deep Bath Therapy, once every ten days, monthly cost of approximately 30,000 Blue Star Coins/Points..."
"Purchase the Second Stage Spear Technique, 'Starlight Spear Technique', for 100,000 Cultivation Points."
"Purchase the Second Stage Body Technique, 'Dragonwalk Body Technique', for 100,000 Cultivation Points."
"Master Guidance, request guidance from a Second Rank Origin Warrior for spear and body techniques, once a month, costing 100,000 Cultivation Points/Blue Star Coins/Points..."
