Chapter 435 - 295: Triple Jump! Tier Four Flame Demon’s Grip

He had quite a few items that had been magically modified by the system, like that auto-targeting Fireball Technique.

Or the recently created Invisibility Armor, which would absolutely be considered exceptional.

"That’s the catch right there!"

Guo Xiaobao slapped his thigh and lowered his voice, "Boss, this is the Myriad Laws Hall. And they only ever accept new techniques."

"Whether it’s a Cultivation Technique, a Secret Technique, or even tech schematics, it has to be something the Myriad Laws Hall has never recorded before. Only then will they accept it.

But since it’s a brand-new Technique, that means no one besides you has verified the True Technique’s value and Grade.

So, before any transaction, they’ll make you prove its value first.

And how do you prove it? Words alone are useless. You have to give a demonstration."

Guo Xiaobao pointed at Han Feng, then gestured upward.

"For example, say you bring out a brand-new Swordsmanship technique that you claim is at Tier Four Peak.

Alright, then they’ll ask you to demonstrate power at the level of Tier Four Peak."

"You’re only at the First Layer of the Enlightenment Realm. Even if that Swordsmanship is truly a Divine Skill, you can only produce a display worthy of the Enlightenment Realm.

Those assessors are extremely rigid. They will absolutely not waste energy to verify your new Technique for you.

They only trust what they see.

If you can’t demonstrate it, they’ll rule that you’re just bluffing.

Even if your technique is truly Tier Four Peak, they’ll only grade it based on the effect you manage to display."

"So, this option is really meant for Tier Four Grandmasters and has nothing to do with people like us?"

At that moment, Han Feng suddenly recalled something. ’The Dean seemed to have warned me not to get involved with the people from this Tower of Babel.’

He had originally planned to try his luck with his Three-Inch Heart Sword or his improved Magic.

But now he had completely given up on the idea.

Han Feng glanced at Guo Xiaobao before him and asked with renewed interest:

"Didn’t you say before that you know how to get a spot for the Hall of Myriad Spirits?"

"So stop beating around the bush. If your method works, I’ll add another hundred."

Guo Xiaobao’s eyes instantly lit up like lightbulbs.

"You got it! Boss, take a look at option number two!"

His finger shot out, pointing to the "Technique Optimization Challenge Board."

"This way, Boss!"

Like a slippery loach, Guo Xiaobao weaved through the crowd with ease, expertly leading Han Feng to the west side of the grand hall.

The area suddenly opened up into a vast space, comparable in size to a soccer field.

In the center of the square, a curved light screen, several times larger than the main display, hovered in mid-air. Golden text cascaded down its surface like a waterfall—this was the so-called "Technique Optimization Challenge Board."

Dotted around the square were dozens of fully transparent, independent testing booths, as well as over a hundred strange devices that looked like dentist’s chairs.

Many people sat cross-legged in meditation, wearing virtual reality helmets, with spiritual light flickering around their bodies.

Others were inside the testing areas, moving with ferocious energy as they practiced various deadly combat moves. The explosive displays of light and shadow constantly drew gasps from the crowd of onlookers.

Guo Xiaobao paid no mind to the spectacle, leading Han Feng directly to the front of the massive board.

He pointed to the golden list in the very center, illuminated by countless spotlights, his voice thick with an envy and longing he couldn’t suppress.

"Boss, look. This is the ’Technique Optimization Challenge Board.’"

"Every single name on this board belongs to a hot commodity that the major corporations and Martial Arts Families are scrambling to recruit."

Han Feng cast his gaze toward it.

At the very top of the board, a few names were bolded and magnified by a special lighting effect. The point values following them were shockingly high.

[First Place: Ji Tianxing (Kunlun · Daoist Palace) — Points: 2850]

[Second Place: Nalan Qing (Divine Shield·Biological Research Institute) — Points: 1920]

[Third Place: Mo Ye (Free Martial Artist) — Points: 1600]

...

"Holy moly, you see that?

That monster in first place, Ji Tianxing, has almost three thousand points!"

Guo Xiaobao clicked his tongue and lowered his voice.

"Here in the Myriad Laws Hall, one point has the purchasing power of one Spirit Coin. And that’s just pocket change, not even counting the grand prize for finishing on top."

"These prodigies make money faster than a printing press."

He paused, then added, "Of course, if you want to optimize a technique, you first have to pay out of pocket with Spirit Coins to acquire the original rights. Fair price for all."

"But if you succeed in optimizing it, submit your work, and get it approved, you won’t just get instantly rich with a ton of points.

The Celestial Ship will also reward you with a ’Universal Exchange Certificate’ equivalent to the Grade of your new Technique!"

Guo Xiaobao rubbed his hands together, his mercenary smile filled with a you-know-what-I-mean sort of look.

"Boss, this is the crucial part! A small gamble for a huge payoff! A tiny investment for a massive profit!"

"For example, let’s say you spend money on a Tier Two Technique. But you, being the genius you are, somehow manage to optimize it into a Tier Three Technique.

Well, congratulations! You get a free voucher for a Tier Three Technique!"

"With that voucher, you can go to the window over there and exchange it for any Tier Three Cultivation Technique, Body Technique, or Swordsmanship you want from the Myriad Laws Hall’s database!"

The light in Han Feng’s eyes sharpened.

His purpose on this trip, aside from that ethereal spot for the Yan Dao, was to obtain High Tier Body Techniques and Swordsmanship.

If he could get a Universal Exchange Certificate this way, it would be ten thousand times more secure than painstakingly setting up a stall to make money, or taking the risk of revealing his own "Black Technology" in a trade.

’This game... is a little interesting.’

A slight smile played on Han Feng’s lips.

"You bet it is!"

Guo Xiaobao’s posture straightened, his face beaming with the pride unique to the Kunlun People.

"This is a traditional specialty program here in Kunlun. The internal codename is ’Knowledge Alchemy’!"

"As long as you have the brains and the ability, you can turn knowledge into pure gold!"
