Chapter 367: Chapter 62: Mingxun Dragon Transformation Technique
Of course, most people wouldn’t be foolish enough to choose an Inheritance at this price point. The government has already announced that the various free Cultivation Methods taught at the major Academies and in official prep courses are of a similar level.
However, these public Inheritances mostly focus on Defense Power and Life Force, with a secondary emphasis on enhancing constitution and strength. Compared to other Cultivators of the same level, their offensive capabilities are very low. But for the average person, there’s no need to practice such highly destructive, combat-oriented Spirit Techniques.
If someone truly wants to possess offensive power, they should apply for eligibility, pass various psychological tests, and then diligently complete missions to accumulate Points for exchange.
As for Immortal God Inheritances, the price was surprisingly not very high. A typical Immortal God Inheritance was uniformly priced at ’360,000 Points.’ This is equivalent to the amount of Points an average citizen could accumulate in thirty years. Considering the value of an Immortal God Inheritance, it really wasn’t that much. Moreover, this was only based on the freely distributed Points.
For those who truly aspired to Cultivation, as long as they worked hard during the Holy Ascension Selection Test and performed well in the Academy—receiving an A Class evaluation from their professors every time—then with the various academic rewards, over 300,000 Points was not an unattainable goal. Similarly, publishing papers in relevant fields could earn them corresponding Point grants based on citation counts.
This number was carefully calculated. If a person performed well on the Holy Ascension Selection Test, strove hard at the Academy, and regularly completed official Extraordinary missions to contribute to the nation’s development with their abilities, they would almost certainly be able to earn enough Points for an Immortal God Inheritance during their four years at the Academy.
In this way, upon graduation, they would have effectively passed a four-year-long collective assessment by the Academy’s professors. With ample Points, they could then formally begin their own Cultivation journey.
By this point, most people were only in their twenties. At that age, their thinking was more mature, yet for a Cultivator, they were still considered very young, which meant their progress wouldn’t be hindered in any way.
Of course, despite all these explanations, the price tag still drew dissatisfaction from many people.
Many people who felt they should be able to get an Immortal God Inheritance for free were furiously pounding their keyboards, loudly voicing their opinions.
"Didn’t the Dragon King say it? Anyone can practice his Inheritance. Anyone! So why are you still charging 360,000 Points for it?"
"And what about Su Zhou? He clearly got an Immortal God Inheritance, right? Why didn’t he have to wait? Why did the government just hand it to him?"
These resentful comments certainly sounded reasonable at first glance. However, these people clearly overlooked one point: Immortal God Inheritances aren’t something just anyone can practice simply because they want to. Take the Thunder Marsh Inheritance, for example. Any ordinary person who attempts it will die. Even though Su Zhou experienced it firsthand, figured out the dangers, and devised countermeasures, it’s still not without its mortal risks.
Moreover, that mortality risk applied even to geniuses with extremely fine control over their Spiritual Power. For an average person, the death rate would likely more than double.
While there are safe Immortal God Inheritances that ordinary people can practice, both common people and geniuses must choose the Cultivation Method that is most suitable for them if they wish to advance further in the future.
Four years at the Academy, combined with the training from relevant missions, is enough time for any aspiring cultivator, whether they’re an ordinary person or a genius, to understand the strengths and weaknesses of their own constitution, discover their talents and shortcomings, and determine the path their future should take.
Only after cultivating and training to this degree will the Immortal God Inheritance they choose be the one most suited to them.
To use an analogy, if you drop a multi-ton pie from a thousand meters up on someone with no foundation, most people would be crushed to death, not find it delicious. An Immortal God Inheritance is exactly like that multi-ton pie falling from the sky. An ordinary person who hasn’t been tempered through trials cannot possibly catch it.
As for Su Zhou...
"He was the Holy Ascension Examination Champion Scholar, and he’s completed so many missions since enrolling! He’s been on the news several times—are these trolls blind?"
"Why don’t you try killing a Mysterious Organization’s Leader and coordinating with the South Sea Fleet during your summer vacation?"
"Exactly. Trolls are just salty. Nyah nyah nyah."
At present, the number of Su Zhou’s fans was skyrocketing... largely due to the *Legacy of the Elder Wilds* show.
’A large portion of them are mindless fans who support me unconditionally, but this feeling... is pretty damn awesome!’
Su Zhou’s comment on the matter was: "When I used to flame other people, I found these kinds of fans annoying. But now that I see other people flaming me, I think these fans are really sweet!"
"’Where you stand really depends on where you sit! I’ll keep on flaming them next time!’"
In any case, besides the repercussions from the *Legacy of the Elder Wilds* show, many other things happened around the world at the end of 2015, just before the new year.
For example, Flood Dragon Nine Netherworlds was now a registered citizen of the Zhengguo South Sea. He, along with Garuda and some intelligent Iron-eating Beasts from Sichuan State, became the first batch of new Demon Race citizens in Zhengguo.
Some people might ask, what’s an Iron-eating Beast? Iron-eating Beasts are those black-and-white creatures that usually just hang out in air-conditioned rooms eating. They’re the ones that can get millions of fans (or even more) to happily watch a livestream of them pooping. In any case, judging by the current public opinion in Zhengguo, it seems no one found this strange at all. In fact, they even thought it was perfectly natural.
