CHAPTER 578: CHAPTER 578: PERFORMANCE EVALUATION

Ye Youlong also knew that this was not a problem that could be solved quickly.

She then said, "Although we cannot transform it ourselves, now that we know how to cultivate, as long as we practice diligently, we can quickly master the rapid use of this national technique."

"Um."

At this point, Xiao Zhan nodded his head.

Indeed, although it took them a whole day today to figure out the principle,

Once understood, it actually wasn’t that complicated.

It’s just a process of assimilation, purification, and then isolation integration, and with Xiao Zhan’s mastery over the Death Aura and Space Power, such a thing just needed more practice to be completed in a very short time.

Also, the issue of controlling the energy level also just required long-term familiarity combined with one’s own real combat assessment.

This was no problem for Xiao Zhan.

"Then let’s practice!"

Xiao Zhan asserted firmly, then continued to practice with Ye Youlong.

During this second attempt, Xiao Zhan greatly reduced the time, taking less than half an hour to complete the entire process.

Moreover, this time, Xiao Zhan’s energy level had increased, and he began to incorporate the Space Power during the assimilation process, thus preventing the meridians from experiencing a stinging sensation due to excessive Yang Attribute power.

With the time greatly reduced, Xiao Zhan continued to practice.

This time, even faster, taking less than ten minutes.

But it still wasn’t enough, as combat on the battlefield occurs in the blink of an eye. Xiao Zhan had to control this process within one second in order to truly utilize its effectiveness.

The day quickly came to an end.

In the following period, Zhan Yuntian gave them no additional tasks and allowed them to cultivate national techniques in the Federation Library.

Xiao Zhan was also happy with this.

And after his diligent practice, he finally mastered this method within a month.

With this, he had thoroughly learned the Taiji Hand.

After mastering Taiji, Xiao Zhan began to study the so-called ’Absorption Star Technique’, which after researching, he found to be not very useful.

Because when using it to absorb energy, it required the opponent’s active cooperation.

And why would an enemy cooperate?

The enemy is not a fool.

However, after his research, Xiao Zhan discovered that this technique was not completely useless; he found that when he activated this national technique, the erosive effect of his Death Aura actually became stronger.

As it is known, the erosive effect of Death Aura also comes with an engulfing ability, and it could feed the absorbed energy back to Xiao Zhan.

With this, the feedback effect strengthened, which was a pleasant surprise for Xiao Zhan.

Another day passed.

Xiao Zhan and his group went to the Federation Library but were stopped by Zhan Yuntian.

"From today onwards, you won’t need to go to the Federation Library."

Xiao Zhan and others stopped.

The sudden news made them somewhat uncomfortable.

"What should we do then?" someone asked.

Zhan Yuntian pointed at a nearby combat training field.

"Today, you will test your learning outcomes."

Learning outcome?

Referring to this month’s cultivation of national techniques?

Zhan Yuntian led everyone to the combat training field, then with a leap, jumped to the center of the field.

Looking at everyone, "Who will come first?"

The crowd understood Zhan Yuntian’s intention, exchanged glances, and Ye Qingtian stepped forward first.

With a movement of his hand, a long spear appeared in his hand.

"Please advise!"

Zhan Yuntian wasn’t in a hurry to start, saying, "In this battle, only the national arts practiced within this month may be used; other techniques and skills are prohibited."

"Not using them then, not using them! Watch the spear!"

Ye Qingtian let out a loud shout, and his spear quivered, its tip piercing the wind like a dragon, aiming at Zhan Yuntian.

The national art he selected was a spear technique, which perfectly matched his Artifact Spirit.

Zhan Yuntian chuckled lightly, not even using his Artifact Spirit. He clenched his hand into a fist, welcoming Ye Qingtian’s spear barehanded.

The two instantly tangled in combat.

Below the stage, the expressions of the onlookers varied; some were excited, while others seemed very solemn.

"Damn it, I’m screwed, I chose a set of palm techniques, but my Artifact Spirit is the Cloud Umbrella!"

Meng Zehao muttered, greatly annoyed.

He initially also wanted to choose a national art that matched his Artifact Spirit, but after a long search, he found no national art related to umbrellas.

With no other choice left, he selected a set of palm techniques.

But now, having to fight Zhan Yuntian with national arts, how could he possibly win.

This was the end.

Xiao Zhan also frowned deeply because he had chosen the Taiji Hand, while his Artifact Spirit was the Death Demon Scythe, which weren’t much related.

But they could be considered a bit related.

Since Xiao Zhan had combined his previously cultivated Taiyin Hand with the Death Demon Scythe, creating unique scythe techniques.

But now, he had only recently learned the Taiji Hand, and had not yet proficiently combined it with the Death Demon Scythe; the Taiji Scythe Technique was also not yet successfully created.

If that was the case, wouldn’t he too be unable to defeat Zhan Yuntian?

However, this thought seemed off to him.

Zhan Yuntian’s genuine Eighth Grade strength meant that probably all of the people here combined might not be able to beat him, so what was the purpose of this combat?

Certainly not to determine the winner.

If it’s not to determine the winner, then most likely, it was to assess their learning outcomes of the national arts.

Indeed, Zhan Yuntian had just mentioned a sentence about this.

Bang!

Soon, a sound echoed from the arena.

Ye Qingtian clashed with Zhan Yuntian for less than ten seconds before being sent flying out of the arena by Zhan Yuntian.

Ye Qingtian fell to the ground, clutching his chest, looking towards Zhan Yuntian with reluctance, yet trying to stand up again!

But Zhan Yuntian said, "Your spear technique has form but lacks spirit, knowing only reckless charging and not understanding the core driving force of power. The Overlord Spear Technique has been ruined by you! Not passable!"

Having said that, Zhan Yuntian looked out of the arena, "Next!"

The crowd hesitated.

They had seen Ye Qingtian’s combat just now; he performed very well, his spear technique was like a dragon, dominating and extraordinary, truly having an unrivaled demeanor.

If they were to replace him, it would be very tough to handle.

But such an excellent performance, in the eyes of Zhan Yuntian, was actually not passable!

If he didn’t pass, then what is considered passable?

"What, no one dares to come up?"

Seeing them all hesitating, Zhan Yuntian impatiently snorted.

"I’ll go!"

Meng Zehao jumped onto the stage, "Sooner or later I’ll die anyway."

He posed a stance at Zhan Yuntian!

Zhan Yuntian chuckled lightly, beckoning him with a hand gesture.

Meng Zehao shouted loudly and immediately charged forward.

His chosen set was a palm technique named Thirty-Six Waves, consisting of thirty-six moves, each move representing a wave, each layer stacking upon the last, and each wave mounting higher.

When the thirty-sixth wave is completed, its power destroys the heavens and devastates the earth, capable of carrying out a leapfrog kill!
