LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 66
Chapter 66: System Upgrade, Level 3
“Qin Bei, maybe it’s best to forget it. Although you’re the only one who has passed the fifth level on the first try, there are still a few princes in the royal family who have gotten through the fifth level. No one dares to help so many people acquire skills, because it’s just way too time-consuming.”
Qin Chen stepped forward to persuade him.
He had his own selfish motives.
Finally finding a peer to consider his goal wasn’t easy.
He didn’t want Qin Bei to waste his time comprehending magical powers just to earn spirit stones.
“Indeed, Prince Bei, you have exceptional talent. You should take a long-term view. Cultivation is the most fundamental thing—earning money can wait. Besides, Master Qiling has already rewarded you plenty. With your current cultivation level, these spirit stones are more than sufficient.”
Old Jiu chimed in, trying to help.
They all believed that if Qin Bei spent time helping other royal family members comprehend skills, he wouldn’t be making money, but rather wasting his precious cultivation time.
His cultivation was already lagging behind his peers. If he continued to stray off course, he likely wouldn’t achieve remarkable success in the future.
“How about I just take these two divine skills and skip the heavenly body movement skill? Don’t worry, I won’t ask for a refund,” Princess Ling Er added her thoughts.
She, too, didn’t want a genius like Qin Bei to squander his time.
For a moment, the others around realized what was going on.
Those who had already placed orders began to consider getting refunds.
The previously vibrant atmosphere was suddenly doused with a bucket of cold water.
Qin Bei glanced at Qin Chen and Old Jiu, understanding that they weren’t looking down on him; they were genuinely concerned about him.
Only Qin Ke truly wanted to stir up trouble.
“I haven’t even started yet, how do you know what the result will be? Just because others can’t do it doesn’t mean I can’t!” Qin Bei exclaimed confidently.
Everyone: …
This…
It didn’t seem to be a matter of confidence anymore; this was just some bizarre overconfidence!
If anything, one could even call it arrogance.
Qin Chen looked at Qin Bei, and this confidence made him feel a little embarrassed.
Suddenly, Qin Chen’s pupils widened.
Confidence? !
He suddenly understood how Qin Bei had passed the fifth floor of the Demon Suppression Tower.
Perhaps it was all down to this confidence!
Thinking of this, Qin Chen finally understood why he always felt capable of passing the fifth floor, yet fell short each time.
It was because he simply wasn’t confident enough!
“Alright, just wait outside without any worries. I’ll bring you what you want shortly,” Qin Bei said, dismissing any doubts.
With that, he walked confidently into the Martial Arts Pavilion.
“Hmph! You really don’t know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is. Just wait until you come out? You might as well wait until the monkeys come home!” Qin Ke scoffed irritably when Qin Bei ignored him.
“Shut your mouth! This princess who has already spent money isn’t worried. Why do you have to make a ruckus on the side? Can’t you stand seeing others better than you?” Princess Ling Er, with her short fuse, snapped back at Qin Ke.
“Hmph!”
Faced with Princess Ling Er’s fury, Qin Ke could only snort coldly, not daring to retort.
The others who had just spent money could only sit cross-legged outside and wait.
They were all bracing themselves; this wait could take at least three to five days, or even half a month at most.
That’s if everything went well.
Everyone present had firsthand experience of how difficult comprehension could be.
Especially Princess Ling Er.
She had been coming for half a year trying to master the high-level body technique.
Thanks to her master, Old Jiu, she received special training every time, which allowed her to spend more time comprehending than others.
Yet, despite all that, she still hadn’t managed to grasp this body technique after half a year.
And that was under the condition that this body technique suited her perfectly.
Qin Bei, even though he had considerably more time for comprehension after passing the fifth floor of the Demon Suppression Tower, there were so many techniques that he wouldn’t be suitable for practicing all of them.
Furthermore, techniques that weren’t a good fit would be much harder to comprehend.
“Willow Catkins Flying Flowers” suits female cultivators, and someone like Qin Bei, who fights with intensity, clearly isn’t suited for this body technique.
Attempting to comprehend it would be twice as difficult.
That’s one of the reasons why Qin Chen didn’t want to help Princess Ling Er.
…
As he entered the Martial Arts Pavilion.
The four lower floors were spacious, but Qin Bei didn’t linger and went straight to the fifth floor.
Upon reaching the fifth floor, Qin Bei first noted where his target was at the door.
Then he stepped inside.
His first target was the high-level body technique that Princess Ling Er desired, “Willow Catkins Flying Flowers.”
“29-09-7.”
Qin Bei silently recited the memorized location.
The 29th column, the 9th floor, the seventh position from left to right.
Sure enough, following his memory, Qin Bei quickly found this body technique.
A jade slip was quietly suspended within a grid the size of a head.
There were detailed records outside the grid.
“Willow Catkins Flying Flowers: High-level heavenly body movement technique, divided into three levels, the first level…”
There was a lot of information, but Qin Bei didn’t bother to read it carefully and reached toward the jade slip.
However, a seal blocked his hand outside the grid, allowing him to see but not touch.
To break the seal, he had to rely on soul perception.
Only when mutual recognition occurred would the seal dissipate.
Under normal circumstances, at this point, someone selecting a technique would sit down.
Calm their minds, and attempt to touch the seal with their souls.
To unlock the seal.
The greater the alignment with the technique sealed inside, the easier it would be to unlock it.
This is a drawn-out and arduous process; you’d never know when you’d finally receive a response.
That’s why the crowd outside couldn’t believe that Qin Bei could grasp too many techniques in such a short time.
Even though everyone viewed Qin Bei as a genius, it still didn’t matter.
Qin Bei assessed the situation.
Although he didn’t delve too deeply into it.
He knew that acquiring this technique wouldn’t be easy.
If he proceeded step by step, he would undoubtedly need to invest a significant amount of time.
However, he didn’t need to do things the slow way.
Because he had a system.
“System, upgrade!”
Qin Bei called for the system in his mind.
He could have upgraded the system for free long ago when breaking through in the secret realm.
He just hadn’t felt the need then, so he didn’t rush it.
Now, however, he wanted to exchange for something that required a level 3 system, so he was left with no choice but to level up.
Qin Bei looked at a spot in the system mall.
“Sudden Enlightenment: After use, it can assist in understanding skills, magical powers, or cultivation levels. Multiple uses can accumulate, and once accumulated to a certain degree, one can achieve instantaneous enlightenment.”
Required system level to unlock: lv.3
Required Krypton Gold Points: xxx*
This was exactly what he wanted.
This kind of sudden enlightenment might not allow him to fully grasp these magical skills all at once.
But he didn’t truly wish to understand all of these techniques; he just wanted to gain some form of perception.
So, one opportunity for sudden enlightenment per technique would be more than sufficient.
“Directly upgrade to level three!”
