Chapter 332: Addicted to Self-Abuse
To be honest, if Ye Zan's ability is really compared with the arrogance of various sects, there is really nothing special about it. What he relies on, one is the way of insight, the other is the movement of stars, and the trick of black hole swallowing. Apart from these few tricks, whether it is spells or sword skills, or the control of magic weapons, he is actually quite ordinary.
On the one hand, Ye Zan's status in Yu Qingzong was too high, so high that no one dared to be his master. Although Mo Ru took on the responsibility of teaching him, there was no way to truly be a strict teacher. And the saying "Strict teachers make good apprentices" is really a truth in this world.
On the other hand, Ye Zan is also used to using technological means to solve problems that cannot be solved. In his view, there is no problem that cannot be solved by one nuclear bomb. If there is, then use two nuclear bombs. Relying on technology is not to say it is bad, but after all, this world still emphasizes self-cultivation, and there will always be times when it is impossible to drop a nuclear bomb.
What's more, spells and swordsmanship, and even talisman formations, etc., are not only means for ascetics to defend against the enemy, but also one of the ways to touch the Dao. Therefore, if you can't really be good at these, it means losing a way to touch the avenue.
However, because of those two reasons, Ye Zan has only reached the level of mastery in terms of spells and swordsmanship. In terms of use, it still relies more on the calculation of the auxiliary chip, rather than relying on the mastery of the essence of spells and swordsmanship.
It's like, you can type all kinds of beautiful calligraphy fonts on the computer, but it doesn't mean you are a calligrapher. You can use a printer to print out world-famous paintings, but it doesn't mean that your painting skills are really comparable to those of those painters.
But now, in this arena, Ye Zan did not dare to use too many technological weapons, because the opponent always exaggerated the effects of technological weapons regardless of scientific facts. Therefore, the only technological equipment that Ye Zan can use is the auxiliary chip in his brain and the nano-combat suit on his body.
The nano combat suit did not help Ye Zan widen the gap in strength with the opponent. After all, the opponent's strength is basically based on Ye Zan's current situation, which naturally includes the gains brought by the nano combat suit.
As for the computing power of the auxiliary chip, it is indeed impossible for the other party to imitate, but computing power is not omnipotent.
If he simply relied on the computing power of the auxiliary chip, Ye Zan would be like using a computer chess master to play against a real chess master.
Although the computer can calculate countless moves in an instant, it is still one step to make a chess piece. Although, in the current chess game, this choice may be the best move, but it may not be the best move in the whole game. But for a real chess master, every move is based on the whole game. A seemingly insignificant move may only be known in the end as a deadly move that has been buried long ago.
The fight between monks,
In fact, it is the same as playing chess. If it is said that your strength is far superior to that of your opponent, then of course you don't need to think about anything, just blow the opponent into flying ash with a single spell. However, if you encounter an opponent of comparable strength, or even an opponent stronger than yourself, then you can't just follow the tricks, but also pay attention to the layout.
Ye Zan was taught countless times by his clone in the arena, standing in front of the arena and yelling at the other party's cunning time and time again. However, he also saw from that "self" how to use those spells and swordsmanship without relying on the auxiliary chip, and to what extent he could use them.
Unknowingly, Ye Zan began to reduce his dependence on auxiliary chips, and at the same time learned how to use his various methods from his "self".
This is really a good opportunity. Ye Zan can see from the other party how his own strengths can become stronger strengths, and how his own shortcomings can no longer become shortcomings.
When Ye Zan was kicked out of the ring again, there was no longer much displeasure on his face, but he immediately fell into deep thought. Compared with others, his biggest advantage is that he can record all the battle scenes. Even at that time, he didn't notice some details at all, and he was able to find those neglected details by looking back at the video.
At this time, Lin Mumu came over and said, "Brother Ye, my sister passed the test."
Ye Zan broke away from his contemplation, nodded, and said to Lin Mumu, "Don't worry, there won't be any danger on the eighth floor."
Regarding Lin Miaomiao's pass, Ye Zan was not surprised at all. He was even sure that Lin Mumu was not far away from passing the test. In fact, among them, only the brothers and sisters of the Lin family can be called the most talented.
Ye Zan created the Flawless Dao Body, the Thirty-Sixth Grade Dao Foundation, and produced three top-level golden pills, but these are also physical aptitudes. However, Ye Zan's comprehension of the Dao and his way of thinking are actually far inferior to that of the Lin family siblings, and can only be said to be quite ordinary.
Needless to say, Ye Zan himself already understood this point.
Sure enough, not long after, Ye Zan got information from Ye Xiao after coming out of the arena again, and Lin Mumu had passed this level.
If it was at the very beginning, although Ye Zan would not be jealous, he would feel somewhat depressed. After all, his performance along the way seems to be the strongest of all. Although he was unwilling to accept the title of the number one person in the Golden Core Realm, he was also faintly complacent about it.
But now, Ye Zan already knew that there was indeed a big problem with him. Without the assistance of technology, with his little ability, maybe he wouldn't be able to completely obliterate everyone, but he certainly wouldn't be able to perform so well.
Of course, having technology assistance is not a bad thing, there is no reason to have these plug-ins but not use them. However, relying too much on technological assistance while ignoring one's own practice is something that shouldn't be done.
Therefore, Ye Zan's mood was not affected in any way knowing that the brothers and sisters of the Lin family passed the test one after another, and there was no such thing as knowing shame and then being brave.
Ye Zan jumped onto the ring again and again, and was sent out again and again. And every time, he was able to understand many things that he hadn't noticed before from the short few minutes of fighting.
And in this process, the people in the seventh floor have also successfully passed the level and went to the eighth floor of Tongtian Tower. There are people from the Arctic Sword Sect and the Star Sect, as well as people from the Taoist Palace and the Freemasonry, and of course there are those companions from Ye Zan's side.
This test is not that whoever is stronger will be able to pass the test more smoothly, but just the opposite.
You must know that the opponents in the arena have all the abilities of those on stage. Then, if your ability method is very single, then your opponent's ability method is also the same as those two moves. If you have many means, your opponent will naturally have the same means. Even things that you don't pay attention to usually become very sharp killing moves in the opponent's hands.
From this point of view, the easiest ones to pass are those sword cultivators who only practice swordsmanship, such as the Jindan masters of the Arctic Sword School. Secondly, on Ye Zan's side, the alchemy cultivators, tool cultivators, and talisman cultivators, their fighting methods are not much more than sword cultivators.
Finally, there are people from Dao Palace and Freemasonry. Because of this small world, the development of Taoist civilization is very simple, so they also don't have many means.
Some people go and some people come.
After a few days of hard work, those members of the Demonic Dao finally passed the test one after another and appeared in the space on the seventh floor.
"Ye Daoyou, we meet again." Gu Feng looked at Ye Zan who had just come out of the ring, and said with a smile on his face, somewhat mocking. So what if you didn't tell us the skills to pass the level, we were delayed for a few days, but we still saw you here.
Ye Zan also smiled, and said: "Sure enough, it didn't bother you. However, if it weren't for that, you might have already reached the eighth floor by now."
Ye Zan didn't tell the other party the skills to pass the sixth floor, but the other party still caught up, and it seemed that they had done nothing. However, as Ye Zan said, if Mo Dao and the others hadn't spent a few days on the sixth floor, they would probably be on the eighth floor by this time.
"Hehe, what Fellow Daoist said is good, but after such a long time, Fellow Daoist is still waiting for us here, but I am quite surprised to wait." Gu Feng satirized Ye Zan lightly.
Although the words were not very polite, the people from Mo Dao didn't intend to trouble Ye Zan, and soon they all chose the ring.
On Ye Zan's side, he stood in front of the ring and pondered for a moment, then jumped onto the ring as before.
When Ye Zan came out of the arena again, he saw a beam of light suddenly rising from one of the arenas chosen by the Mo Dao people. Ye Zan still remembered that the one who chose that arena was the man wrapped in the cloak among the Demon Dao crowd.
Ye Zan didn't think that the man wrapped in the cloak passed the test so quickly because of his poor strength. If the opponent's strength is really poor, how could the Mo Dao group be led by the other party? Mo Dao is very particular about the strong.
So, there are two possibilities. Or, it is the strength of the opponent, which is already so strong that it has no shortcomings, and it will directly crush its own copy when it goes up. Or, the other party has mastered the skills that can pass the level quickly.
Just as he was thinking, two beams of light rose up in the arena on the other side of the magic path, which meant that two more people had successfully passed the level. Those two people should be Gu Feng from the Hundred Ghosts Sect, and Zou Jishi from the Holy Fire Sect.
In this way, Ye Zan can also be sure that the other party indeed has the skills to pass the level quickly.
Then, the remaining two golden core masters of the demonic way were kicked out of the ring. The two of them glanced at Ye Zan's side, a little fear flashed in their eyes, and there was no aftertaste of contemplation, and they immediately jumped onto their respective rings. It seems that what Ye Zan did in the sixth floor caused a lot of psychological shadow to the two Golden Core Grandmasters.
Ye Zan shook his head, and didn't bother to inquire about the methods of the demons to pass the level, but played back the video just now in his mind. After making some preparations, Ye Zan jumped onto the ring and started the contest with "himself" again.
On the one hand, Ye Zan cherished this opportunity and became a little addicted to being abused by his "self" in the ring. On the other hand, it was because he already knew what was going on on the eighth floor of Tongtian Tower, so naturally he was not in a hurry to go up.
After Ye Zan came out this time, the two Jindan masters of Mo Dao had also passed the level smoothly, and a beam of light representing the level passed rose up from the ring.
And as the demonic people chose to pass the level, in the seventh floor, apart from Ye Zan, there were still a few people left, all of whom belonged to teams of various forces. Some of these people are still persisting, constantly coming in and out of the ring. Some have simply given up, sitting on the ring and don't know what they are thinking.
In addition, there is another person who has not passed the level, and that is Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao hadn't even been in the arena before, and had been standing in front of a arena not far from Ye Zan. It looked like he was thinking about something, but he was actually observing the situation on the seventh floor for Ye Zan.
Ye Zan kept Ye Xiao here, in fact, to guard against those people from the Demonic Dao. Now that those people from Demon Dao have passed the level, there is no need for Ye Xiao to stand there stupidly.
Ye Xiao is not a real Yuanying ancestor, and has flaws that cannot be corrected at all. Therefore, it is basically impossible for Ye Xiao to pass the level by himself, and can only be brought over by other means.
Therefore, Ye Zan sacrificed the jade ball and received Ye Xiao into the space of the jade ball.
"Fellow Taoist, can you lead someone through the level?" A person who gave up on the level asked in surprise when he saw Ye Zan's actions. This person is a golden elixir master of the Star Sect. He has never met Ye Zan, so he doesn't know how to address Ye Zan.
"I don't know how to call you?" Ye Zan asked.
"I'm Geng Xin of the Star Sect." The Grandmaster of the Star Sect said, cupping his hands.
"Ye Zan, Emperor of the Yu Qing Dynasty, I have met fellow Daoist Geng." Ye Zan also bowed his hands in return.
"Oh, it turns out that Fellow Daoist is..." Although Geng Xin had never met Ye Zan, after all, he had been with people from the Arctic Sword Sect for some time, so he had also heard people from the Arctic Sword Sect talk about Ye Zan.
You must know that apart from Guo Zhenyang, the people who came to the Arctic Sword Sect this time, the other Jindan Grandmasters also had conflicts with Ye Zan and others. Therefore, when you have free time, it is natural to talk about Ye Zan, and tell people in other sects how rude and hateful Ye Zan is.
"It seems that Fellow Daoist Geng has heard of it?" Ye Zan asked with a smile.
"Hehe, I made fellow daoists laugh. I did hear fellow daoists from the Arctic Sword Sect talk about fellow daoists. However, hearing is deception, and seeing is believing. Now that I see fellow daoist Ye, I know what they said It's really biased." Geng Xin said with a bit of embarrassment.
"Friend Daoist Geng asked me just now, do you also want to pass the test together?" Ye Zan didn't care whether the other party was genuine or fake, and turned the topic back to the beginning.
"That's right, I just saw it below. Fellow Daoist Ye seems to have hidden a fellow Daoist in a magic weapon, so I have the audacity to ask if I can take it with me to pass the test together." Geng Xin asked with a slightly red face. After all, this matter is really not a matter of showing his face. Others pass the test based on their ability, but he begged others to take him to pass the test.
"It's not impossible to take a fellow daoist to pass the test together. It's just that I have some questions. I want to ask fellow daoist Geng for advice. I wonder if you can help me solve my doubts?" Ye Zan put forward his own conditions without concealment.
Geng Xin hesitated for a moment, then turned his head to glance at the somewhat empty space, then turned around and said, "Whatever you want to ask, fellow daoist, as long as I know it, I will definitely tell you everything."
"Just tell me, after Guo Zhenyang left, what you have experienced until now." What Ye Zan wanted to ask was actually the man of great luck who guided them along the way in the teams of Arctic Sword Sect and Star Sect.
Of course, when Ye Zan asked this question, he didn't mean to do something, but just to be more prepared. If it is said that the person with great luck has no enmity with him, then it is naturally the best. However, if the person with great luck is someone in the Arctic Sword Sect who has a grudge against him, then we must be on guard.
This person of great luck is often very evil, and anyone who opposes him will be inexplicably unlucky. There is a saying that luck is the embodiment of God's will, so this person with great luck is also called a person favored by God's will. Therefore, anyone who is an enemy of a person with great luck will be punished by God's will.
"This..." Geng Xin hesitated again, and the desire to pass the test still prevailed, so he continued: "This is a long story. Originally, I waited for Master Guo to leave, and I wanted to follow his instructions when he left. In the original I waited for him to come back. But later, Senior Brother Cheng of my sect insisted that everyone leave."
"Senior Brother Cheng? Which Cheng..." Ye Zan interrupted the other party and asked.
Hearing the word "Cheng" mentioned by the other party, Ye Zan couldn't help but think of another word "Cheng". The two words have the same pronunciation but different words, so he asked this question.
"Cheng, success or failure, my sect's Senior Brother Cheng is named Cheng Daqi, who is usually quite inconspicuous, but he brought me and others all the way to this place. It's a pity, my aptitude is really high." I'm mediocre, and I still can't pass the test with my own strength, so I want to ask fellow Taoists for help." Geng Xin said a little ashamed.
However, from Geng Xin's words, Ye Zan got what he wanted to know. It seems that the person with great luck in the opponent's team is probably the one who has become a master.
Since he wasn't that "Cheng" and he wasn't from the Arctic Sword Sect, Ye Zan was also faintly relieved, at least the other party was unlikely to have any enmity with him. It's not Ye Zan, it's really an enemy of someone with great luck, it's really quite stressful, what do you have technology, they have God to help.
Then, Geng Xin explained in detail how he and others broke through layer by layer under the leadership of Cheng Daqi in the tower. Ye Zan was also secretly startled when he heard it. The more he listened, the more he felt that the man with great luck was really a bug, and the other party's experience of passing the test was... as weak as plain boiled water. (To be continued.)
