Global Game: I Can Choose Instance Rewards

"The inconspicuous black tower placed here is a treasure used for cultivation under my tutelage. Once you enter through the bronze door, you will understand everything...

Remember, though the enemies inside are false, they are real, so do not underestimate them...

You have only one opportunity to use it each day, cherish it well, for it will greatly benefit your cultivation advancement..."

Wang Zhifan explained to He Kuang the core benefit for disciples of the Martial Venerable Hall as they approached the pitch-black tower in the underground palace.

He Kuang, although not fully understanding, still followed diligently, and only after Wang Zhifan instructed him to wait a moment did he step into the black tower’s bronze door.

Outside the tower, Wang Zhifan, watching as He Kuang disappeared inside, felt inexplicably moved.

"Originally, I planned to recruit up to two hundred disciples, but now it seems, he might be the last disciple I accept in this instance...

With the calamity arriving in a month, accepting more disciples seems meaningless; taking this person in feels like it’s simply fate...

I hope they can all make progress within this month and then hopefully survive the unprecedented catastrophe."

Wang Zhifan’s inexplicable feelings were affected by the shocking news from Qingyangzi not long ago.

He already anticipated that many common folks would lose their lives to demons, and cultivators would suffer heavy casualties.

When the Demon Realm army arrives, even those beyond the Innate stage would likely fall, and he himself would face great risks, which is why he lost much of his interest in recruiting disciples, focusing only on fulfilling basic responsibilities.

"In the next month, my main objective must be to enhance my strength; currently, the best way to do that is to cultivate the techniques...

With the extra boost from the Coiled Dragon Jade Pendant, I should hopefully train both Pure Yang True Skill and Infinite Golden Body Skill to Lv3 within a month...

Though these advancements won’t bring a fundamental transformation in my power, stronger is certainly more beneficial for surviving the Calamity Realm catastrophe..."

With these thoughts in mind, after arranging matters for the new disciple, Wang Zhifan returned to the main hall to continue his meditation cultivation.

What he is currently practicing is still the Pure Yang True Skill, aiming to elevate it to the next level to reach Lv3, initially forming the Pure Yang Overlord Body.

The Pure Yang True Skill’s enhancing effect is significant for him now; if possible, he’d put more effort into this to directly cultivate the Pure Yang Overlord Body to mastery.

But time waits for no one, and the Coiled Dragon Jade Pendant’s powerful cultivation bonus decreases with the advancement of the cultivation technique realm, so relying on achieving profound levels in Pure Yang True Skill within a month is unrealistic—he can only turn to the yet-to-be-learned Infinite Golden Body Skill.

As for the medicinal bath materials needed for practicing the Infinite Golden Body Skill, he had someone inquire early yesterday; this world has many alternative formulas, and based on the detailed inheritance information he received, it’s enough to support his training to Lv3, which is why earlier today he offered disciples the option to learn the Infinite Golden Body Skill.

While Wang Zhifan started his intricate meditation training, many of his disciples inside the Underground Palace Black Tower were also cultivating.

For instance, the robust youth resembling a bronze statue and the smaller-statured Huang Feihua, along with many other disciples, were in the Wind and Thunder Heaven-Treading Skill teaching space, repeatedly following the teaching avatars to visualize the meaning of wind and thunder.

The silk-clad girl with Daoist cultivation, Liou Luoying, was in the Pure Yang True Skill teaching space, learning the sitting meditation and the meridian circulation for tomorrow’s sunrise bathing entry approval.

Likewise, some disciples were delving into the Great Dream Saber Scripture teaching space and the Infinite Golden Body Skill teaching space, each striving to cultivate the techniques they had chosen.

It’s worth mentioning that all teaching avatars arranged by Wang Zhifan in these teaching spaces only impart the minimal necessary knowledge, specifically focusing solely on the basics of each technique for the novices.

As for the subsequent content, they cannot know in advance since the teaching avatars themselves do not carry relevant information.

This arrangement ensures that the youths have clear directions, avoiding unrealistic ambitions at the start of their training, and also functions as Wang Zhifan’s protective measure.

He does indeed want to impart the secret skills he has mastered to his disciples, but he would never unload all content at once; only those who have thoroughly grasped the basics and built a solid foundation may qualify to access the next subsection of knowledge.

If anyone harbors ulterior motives, wanting to extract the vast and intricate legacy information from his mind, they’re thinking too far ahead—they might only know some superficial aspects of each technique, unable even to delve slightly deeper.

Unlike the youths diligently learning technique basics, the recently accepted disciple He Kuang has entirely different treatment.

He isn’t currently assigned to any cultivation technique teaching space to study; instead, he has been directly assigned his most liked challenge content, facing an opponent who leaves a profound impression on him.

He Kuang, with a face full of curiosity, hadn’t understood the true nature of this place that his new master deemed immensely important upon stepping into the black tower’s bronze door; suddenly, the scene before him shifted from dimness to a barren plain.

A cold wind swept over the ground, a figure then abruptly appeared in the wind, standing a hundred meters before him, causing his pupils to constrict and an involuntary surge of battle spirit to erupt from within.

It was a tall, imposing middle-aged monk, draped in yellow-scarlet robes, with a string of child-fist-sized Buddhist Beads around his neck, observing him with eyes devoid of joy or sorrow, exuding a steady-as-a-mountain aura.

"Longshan Venerable?! Why are you here?!"

Suppressing the urge to rush forward with his spear, He Kuang asked incredulously to the figure in front.

He couldn’t comprehend why the Buddhist Sect expert who once defeated him would appear in this place.

However, the other seemed not to have heard his question, giving no response, continuing to stand there with an immovable stance, surrounded by a soft golden Buddhist radiance.

This bizarre scene momentarily reminded He Kuang of Wang Zhifan’s advice before sending him in.

"My mentor said the enemies here are false yet real... could it be that this person..."

While closely watching the "Longshan Venerable" before him, he recalled the aura from his memory to make a judgment, but the pressure from the being before him was almost identical to the one in his memory, raising many doubts.

Moments later, seeing his lack of action, the "Longshan Venerable" took the first move.

The imposing middle-aged monk clasped his hands together, and behind him, the golden Buddhist radiance bloomed like a summer lotus; with a half-step forward of his right foot, he suddenly ascended into the sky, reaching several hundred meters high.

A massive golden phantom of a Buddhist vajra appeared in the sky, enveloping the Buddhist master, and with a body-rotating descent, plummeted swiftly from the sky with an unstoppable force towards the ground where He Kuang stood.

"Hahaha... you are not him! But you’re very much like him! You want a fight! Then let’s fight!"

Witnessing this, He Kuang instantly realized the "Longshan Venerable" before him wasn’t the one he thought, as the real one wouldn’t rashly attack him in this way.

But what difference does it make if it’s not the true body? This Longshan Venerable, from appearance to aura, is identical to the one in his memory, even exhibiting the same signature Buddhist technique.

This signifies that this opponent closely resembles the real Longshan Venerable, and having once lost to this person, He Kuang seized the opportunity to exact revenge with the spear in his hand.
