Universal Ascension: Starting with SSS-Level Talent - Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Dual Cultivation Divine Art

Li Chengfeng and Shu Fuyao both downloaded the three files.

The prefaces of the first two books stated that the success rate of cultivation was only 10%. However, the success rate of the third book was 30%.

The method in the third book was not about cultivation, but about leveling up through combat.

Although they couldn’t enter dungeons before reaching Level 10, they could gain experience and level up by killing other alien races.

In that star region, each planet had more than one civilized species.

Killing alien races would grant upgrade experience. However, this method provided little experience, and the experience required for dual core to level up was double that of a single core.

The most difficult part was that alien races were not easy to kill and posed great danger.

Before reaching Level 10, not to mention killing alien races, it would be a blessing not to be killed by them. Many dual core cultivators often died at the hands of alien races before they could kill enough to reach Level 10.

Modu University Genius Group.

Chu Xiang: Fuyao, don’t cultivate anymore.

Shu Fuyao: If I don’t cultivate, should I just wait to be eliminated?

Chu Xiang: It’s okay, I cultivate quickly. I’ll take care of you in the future.

Shu Fuyao: No need!

Chu Xiang: I’m serious. Be my woman, and in the future, you can wash clothes, cook, and have children. I’ll be responsible for clearing dungeons, making money, and supporting the family.

Shu Fuyao: Get lost!

Zhang Kun: Goddess Shu, you should think it over carefully. There’s only a 10% success rate.

Chu Xiang: Why go down that path of a short-lived beauty?

Zhang Kun: Goddess Shu, don’t rush into cultivation. Wait until I’ve mastered my skills, and then I’ll help you kill alien races to level up.

Zhang Kun: You don’t have to be my wife; I’ll help you for free.

Alien races were civilized species just like humans.

Humans were people, and alien races were also people. Relying on killing people to level up was something the kind-hearted Shu Fuyao was unwilling to do. Without any good words to say, she simply stopped reading the group messages.

She began cultivating according to the first book’s method. However, after only half a day of cultivation, she experienced a deviation.

After a violent bout of coughing, she sent a message to Li Chengfeng.

Shu Fuyao: I coughed up blood. How are you doing?

Li Chengfeng: I haven’t started yet.

Shu Fuyao: Are you planning to use the third method?

Li Chengfeng: More or less.

Shu Fuyao: I can’t bring myself to kill innocent people.

Li Chengfeng: Who said anything about killing innocents? Don’t you know to target the bad guys among the alien races?

Shu Fuyao: But each of us only starts with 10,000 yuan, which won’t last long.

Shu Fuyao: How easy do you think it is to kill enough to reach Level 10?

Li Chengfeng: Don’t forget, there are already 5 billion people on the planet, and they aren’t as poor as we are.

Li Chengfeng: With your looks, isn’t it easy to get some money?

Shu Fuyao: Ha, are you suggesting I sell my looks?

Li Chengfeng: I meant for you to start live streaming.

Shu Fuyao realized she had misunderstood him and was in the wrong.

Shu Fuyao: Oh.

Shu Fuyao: Can you make money from live streaming?

Li Chengfeng: With your beauty, you could easily make tens of thousands a month.

Hearing this, Shu Fuyao felt a surge of excitement:

Really? But I don’t know how to live stream.

Li Chengfeng: No problem, I’ll teach you when the time comes. As long as you have the looks, you can stream anything.

Shu Fuyao: Okay, it’s a deal.

Li Chengfeng: (Handshake)

After this exchange, Shu Fuyao felt much of her distress alleviated. She suddenly felt that having someone with the same dual core as her was really nice. It made her feel less lonely and helpless.

Her roommates were cultivating every day.

She couldn’t get in touch with her family either.

When bored, Shu Fuyao would chat with Li Chengfeng.

Li Chengfeng, on the other hand, used his spare time to study the “Micro Tremor Sword Technique.” Occasionally, he would practice a few moves in the 2.5-meter-wide corridor.

A week passed.

“Check-in.”

【Ding! Weekly check-in successful.】

【Reward: SS-level internal energy “Dual Cultivation Divine Art.”】

【Description: This is a cultivation method for dual cores. The success rate for solo cultivation is 30%. The success rate for dual cultivation is 90%.】

“Wow!”

“Is it really this awesome?”

Li Chengfeng was overjoyed.

Whatever he lacked, it provided. This check-in system truly won his heart!

Li Chengfeng carefully examined the cultivation method described within. It turned out that cultivating together with another person could greatly increase the success rate.

It was just that this dual cultivation method was a bit… well, you know.

Shu Fuyao: Have you eaten?

Li Chengfeng: Yes.

Shu Fuyao: It’s so boring staying in the dormitory watching them cultivate every day. Want to go out for a walk?

Li Chengfeng: Sure.

Most people were seizing every moment to cultivate. Because everyone knew that the time left for them was running out. If they couldn’t quickly reach Level 10 and the initial 10,000 yuan given by the system was spent, they would face the danger of being eliminated.

On the aircraft carrier, there was a spacious activity plaza every thousand rooms. There weren’t many people in the plaza.

The two walked side by side.

Shu Fuyao had her hands behind her back, walking earnestly.

Li Chengfeng thought it over carefully.

Practicing the Dual Cultivation Divine Art alone was too dangerous. He needed to find someone with a dual core like himself to cultivate together.

Li Chengfeng only knew Shu Fuyao as another dual core. Even if he knew others, it wouldn’t change the fact that Shu Fuyao was the best choice.

He cleared his throat:

“Ahem, I obtained a cultivation method for dual core with a success rate as high as 90%.”

Shu Fuyao’s starry eyes lit up:

“That’s great! How did you get it?”

“I bought it from the system marketplace.”

“How did you buy it? I didn’t see it.”

Li Chengfeng had studied the system marketplace over the past few days and found that many things could be bought:

“You can find anything in the marketplace if you look carefully.”

“Then quickly send it to me so I can take a look. Does it really have a 90% success rate?”

“It does, but the cultivation method is a bit… special.”

“What kind of special?”

“You’d better see for yourself!”

Li Chengfeng sent the cultivation method to her.

【This is a restricted cultivation method, it can only be copied once. The opportunity has been used up.】

Shu Fuyao opened it with her mind.

The cultivation method was detailed and profound, every point making sense. It didn’t seem to be fabricated. However, the dual cultivation method described within made her blush.

Lowering her head, she muttered:

“How, how could there be such a cultivation method!”

“The biggest problem with dual core cultivation is balance. Only by forming a four-corner balance with four cores can the issue of deviation due to imbalance during cultivation be resolved.”

Shu Fuyao nodded.

The principles were all in the cultivation method. She could understand it without Li Chengfeng explaining. It had to be two dual core cultivators practicing together.

She looked at Li Chengfeng in front of her: sunny and handsome, elegant and graceful, and, of course, most importantly, this man seemed very honest.

It seemed relatively safe to cultivate with him.

There was no other choice. That cultivation method could only be practiced with Li Chengfeng.

Shu Fuyao blinked her enchanting eyes.

Biting her lower lip, she said:

“Then it can only be the two of us practicing dual cultivation.”

After saying that, she shyly lowered her head. Her fair face turned as red as a ripe peach, making one feel an irresistible urge to take a bite.

“This is also a method, at least it’s simpler and safer than leveling up by killing alien races.”

Shu Fuyao quickly glanced up at him, then lowered her head again.

Her long eyelashes fluttered like fans.

“Shall we… give it a try?”

Li Chengfeng also took a good look at her: pure and elegant, unmatched by others. Cultivating with her didn’t seem too bad.

“Let’s give it a try.”
