Chapter 18: Escape From the Bottom

For a whole year, Yun Ye spent his time improving the imagination method and practicing.

He only slept six hours a day, and spent the rest of his time working on various difficult points, squeezing out his potential.

Yun Ye himself did not expect that he would have to take the college entrance examination after being reborn in the cultivation world, and at the age of nine!

But there was no way, if he did not work hard, he would never get ahead in this world.

During this year, Yun Ye finally improved the imagination method to the extreme of the current stage, which was about 300% of the original cultivation efficiency, and the cultivation time was also sharply reduced to only half of the past.

At present, Yun Ye only needs two hours a day to convert all the nutrients of three meals into "qi".

To be precise, it should be called life energy.

This kind of life energy is not as mysterious as Yun Ye imagined. The effect is nothing more than better physique, improved strength and speed, but it does not surpass ordinary people.

There are also many people on Earth who can easily do things that seem impossible to ordinary people, but the reason why they don't understand is that ordinary people will not spend their whole lives to hone.

For example, some people can knead rice into a ball with their hands, pierce glass with flying nails, and cut cans with playing cards. These all look amazing and incredible.

The same is true for the Qi-nourishing Technique. Although there is a sense of Qi, there are not many things that can be done. Even compared with modern people, they are not the opponents of those who have spent their entire lives honing their skills.

But it is not possible now, but there is still hope in the future.

Yun Ye's current cultivation efficiency is three times that of the past, which almost makes his cultivation speed explode.

The three meals a day are about nine or ten portions when converted into the normal number of food portions.

In the first year, one meal was a Class D meal, so it was five portions.

In other words, he was originally practicing twice as fast as in the first year, and now with the blessing of the Imagination Method, his efficiency has increased to six times.

He has practiced for one year now, which is equivalent to six years of practice in the first year, which is completely incomparable.

And this only counts the D-level food. Yun Ye actually eats a C-level food every day, which can get two more servings of food nutrition, and the actual cultivation speed is faster.

So, in just one year, his cultivation level soared directly from the initial stage of foundation to the initial stage of minor success.

At the minor success stage, with the help of tiger fist, Yun Ye can even punch a deep fist mark on the tree trunk. To some extent, Yun Ye has almost touched the limit of modern people.

And this level is just the beginning in the world of cultivation, far from the upper limit.

Ten years ago, the black-armored soldiers could easily knock down the buildings of Onomura, and easily hit him to fly across the sky with one blow. Their strength was definitely a one-man army, and Yun Ye was still far from it.

When he reached the minor success realm, Yun Ye's cultivation was not so smooth, and he immediately found the shackles of his talent.

Although the efficiency was higher than before, the limitation of qualifications made it difficult for his physique to preserve life energy. He needed to work harder to break through the upper limit of his physique and continue to increase the coverage of the qi.

After a quick calculation, Yun Ye found that it would take at least two or three years for him to reach the Great Success.

This made him feel a little confused. If the Great Success was so difficult, what about the Perfection?

"It seems that I am still too careless. With my current qualifications, the Great Success is the limit. It is impossible to cultivate to the Perfection. In this case, I will report directly to the Awakening Hall and start to try the spiritual root awakening. During the awakening period, practice the Qi-nourishing Technique to the Great Success!"

Yun Ye stood up and went straight to the Awakening Hall.

There are also supporting secret techniques for the spiritual root awakening, which can increase the success rate and make the awakening more controllable.

He currently wants to learn the awakening secret technique, so he can only report to the Awakening Hall.

The reporting condition is the Minor Success. He has really reached this level, so there is no reason to be rejected.

Zhou Xian, who reported a year ago, was recommended by the teacher and took a shortcut. He entered the Awakening Hall in the late stage of the foundation, and could familiarize himself with the awakening secret technique a month in advance.

Yun Ye had no teacher to recommend him, so he could only go after the Minor Success.

…

The Awakening Hall is located deeper in the academy, occupying a huge area by itself.

Basically, all the rich and talented people gather here.

Most of them are students who have passed the fourth test or above. After many years of accumulation, they finally entered the Awakening Hall with a small success. Of course, there are also "old students" who entered the Awakening Hall after the second and third tests, but did not awaken their spiritual roots until the fifth test.

Awakening spiritual roots does not mean that they can be awakened after a small success, but there is a chance of awakening after a small success.

In fact, the deeper the cultivation, the higher the possibility of awakening.

If it is a great success, it is basically 100% possible to awaken, and there is no need for awakening secrets.

After Yun Ye entered the Awakening Hall, he quickly found the reporting office. The young man who was responsible for recording the work was smiling. When he saw Yun Ye, his eyes lit up and he could tell at a glance that Yun Ye was only ten years old.

At such a young age, he has reached a small success, and the chance of awakening spiritual roots is really not small!

He said kindly: "Junior brother, are you here to register? I am Wang Ye, the recorder here. If I verify that you have indeed reached the minor level, then just fill in the information and you can go in."

"(How to verify?)" Yun Ye wrote.

"Um... let's just high-five." Wang Ye said.

He didn't expect that this freshman had a bad throat. This was a huge disadvantage. The cost of communication was high. It was difficult to learn anything. He was born one step slower than others.

Moreover, the Qi-nourishing and awakening techniques were only of ordinary difficulty. The spiritual techniques were truly complicated. If you were not careful, your life would be in danger. The future of people who could not communicate normally could be seen at a glance.

Yun Ye raised his hand and signaled Wang Ye to high-five.

He was used to it and didn't care about other people's eyes. For other people, this was a huge flaw, but for him, it made him think more quietly and reduce the possibility of making mistakes.

"Pah!"

As soon as he high-fived, Yun Ye felt a shock all over his body, and the life energy generated by Qi-nourishing suddenly flowed.

This surprised Yun Ye very much. He had practiced for so many years, but he had never been able to mobilize these life energies. All along, he had only played a passive role - that is, warming the body and improving physical fitness.

This made him always think that the so-called "Qi" only made him intuitively feel his life energy, and it could not be actively used at all.

Meeting Wang Ye today obviously broke this stereotype.

It can't be used, but he can't, it doesn't mean that it is so.

"It has indeed reached a small success, junior brother, you can enter after filling in the information here."

Wang Ye withdrew his hand and pushed the notebook in front of Yun Ye.

Name.

Age.

Realm.

Place of origin.

After filling in a few simple pieces of information, Wang Ye glanced at it and let Yun Ye in directly.

"Huahuahua..."

There are many people in the Awakening Hall. Not long after entering, Yun Ye saw a large number of students fighting and testing, and the noise was bustling.

From the first to the fifth test, the more you go back, the greater the proportion of scores occupied by the secondary and secondary courses, and those who can enter the Yangqi Hall are at least small success. If you want to continue to improve in the main course, it is too difficult, and it is far better to practice more of your own fighting skills.

"Entering the Awakening Hall doesn't mean anything. Awakening the spiritual roots is the real achievement of cultivation..."

If Yun Ye remembered correctly, there were only two or three hundred people in the second test, but so far this year, there were 27 people who had reached the realm of minor success.

And the third, fourth, and fifth tests will only be more, not less.

It's not surprising that there are more than a hundred people in the entire Awakening Hall.

Although he figured out the imagination method and had a little advantage, these advantages were nothing in the Awakening Hall, and there was no room for pride.

But no matter what, he finally got out of the bottom and entered a higher level, which encouraged him.
