Chu Qing wanted to see what kind of splendor would come from opening seven hundred and twenty acupoints.
But that required a month of cultivation without rest or sleep.
If he were elsewhere, he would have ample time.
But it would not work at the Martial Academy.
Because:
All Martial Academy students had to undergo assessments.
And he was only two or three days away from the assessment date.
For now, he still wanted to remain at the Martial Academy.
Because:
The Martial Academy could provide enormous resources.
And he wanted to use those enormous resources to open his fourth Heaven-Connecting Path.
He wanted to step into the New Realm in one fell swoop.
And that required enormous resources.
Although strange pearls were good, it was better to save what he could.
"Since they want to scheme against me, they'll scheme against me sooner or later."
"Since that's the case, I'll let them scheme and see what they're capable of."
"Once I finish this assessment, I'll have a month of time."
"Once I open seven hundred and twenty acupoints, break through all the barriers, and step into the Second Limit."
"Then I'll use the Martial Academy's resources to charge toward the Third Limit."
Advancing from the Second Limit to the Third Limit required vast resources.
The resources ordinary martial artists consumed were enough to drive common people into despair.
And someone with foundations as powerful as his required even more resources.
When the Third Limit stepped into the New Realm, the resources consumed would be enough to make any exceptionally gifted prodigy with deep foundations collapse.
If:
An ordinary Second Limit martial artist needed one person's share of resources to enter the Third Limit.
Then martial artists like them, who had opened Heaven-Connecting Paths, needed ten thousand shares of resources
