Chapter 902: Chapter 902: Anticipation for the Olympics (Seeking Double Monthly Passes with a Third Update) Chapter 902: Chapter 902: Anticipation for the Olympics (Seeking Double Monthly Passes with a Third Update) Feng Jun arrived in Chang’an, not for sightseeing; he went straight to a five-star hotel and checked in.
In his room, after setting down his “luggage,” he left the hotel and made his way to a nearby park.
The park was sizeable, and although there were many people, he still found a secluded spot and began to make phone calls on his mobile phone.
He called several friends, casually chatting away the ti, and soon dusk fell.
Next, he swiped on his mobile phone and entered the mobile realm.
What he needed to figure out now was what changes would occur after another Stone Ring was added.
He looked at it from the perspective of energy points, but he couldn’t tell if the consumption of energy points increased or decreased—after all, his recent battles with multiple Innate Experts kept his wrist’s energy points fully charged, and small changes were hard to notice.
He tried so other thods and found no significant change in his strength.
Finally, he rembered the last ti the Stone Ring mutated, which enlarged his sensing range, so he accessed the “people nearby” feature.
Sure enough, his sensing range had greatly expanded. Previously, he could sense within a sixty-ter radius, but now it extended to one hundred and twenty ters. anwhile, the sensing radius for “nearby Spirit Stones” reached one thousand two hundred ters.
Last ti, he also gained the ability to predict the stock market trends of the following half-hour, but he couldn’t test it now as Earth’s stock market was not within trading hours.
He randomly selected a person and was shocked to discover—there were new changes to the individual’s information.
He could see that this person was practicing the Qingmu Technique, a common Cultivation Technique; Gu Jiahui also practiced it—although it had cost Feng Jun so effort to acquire it.
Even more interesting was that their data showed a compatibility rate with the Cultivation Technique of sixty-seven percent.
“Cultivation Technique compatibility rate”? Feng Jun was puzzled; after so thought, he returned to the small courtyard of the Fang Market.
Everyone was busy in the courtyard. He used his phone to find Yun Buyao among the “people nearby.”
Yun Buyao had a Pure Gold Body—a term everyone surely rembers. At the mont, the Cultivation Technique she was practicing was listed as “none.”
Feng Jun had chosen the Heavenly Luo Edge for her to practice but hoped she could recuperate for a while and preferably start her cultivation after visiting Mount Zhige—a plan Yun Buyao had already agreed to.
However, the current location for her Cultivation Technique was blank. Feng Jun thought for a mont and then opened the “nearby Cultivation Techniques” option.
The Heavenly Luo Edge was not far off. Feng Jun selected “copy” and then switched to “people nearby,” where he pasted it into the Cultivation Technique slot for Yun Buyao.
Then, a faint shadow of the Heavenly Luo Edge appeared in that slot, and to his surprise… there was a progress bar for pasting!
The progress bar was swift, almost instantaneous, and then it revealed the compatibility rate of the Cultivation Technique, also shadowy, but with a high compatibility of seventy-eight percent, far exceeding the sixty-seven percent he had seen before…
Feng Jun exited the mobile realm, and after so thought, he ventured out to the market with his phone to test other people’s compatibility rates.
In fact, most people’s Cultivation Technique compatibility rates were between sixty and seventy percent, with occasional individuals exceeding eighty percent—these individuals had exceptional talents.
Feng Jun drained the batteries of two mobile phones and ca to realize that people with better talents could easily match with Cultivation Techniques, while even the best Cultivation Techniques would not have a high compatibility with those of mixed or lesser talent.
Of course, there were exceptions, like a “perfect match”—which is a matter of genuine opportunity.
For soone like Yun Buyao with a 24K Pure Gold Body, almost any Gold Attribute Cultivation Technique would easily have a compatibility above seventy percent. Strictly speaking, eighty percent was rely the passing line.
The Heavenly Luo Edge that Feng Jun chose was the only Gold Attribute Cultivation Technique he had bought, relatively inexpensive, but he didn’t choose it randomly; he considered Yun Buyao’s actual situation.
The girl had scars on her face and a slight limp from her hardships, but for soone with a Gold Attribute, hardships could actually be beneficial—the sword is sharpened by grinding, and the plum blossom’s fragrance cos from the cold.
The Heavenly Luo Edge focused on tempering, with notions like “Heavenly Luo Refining Edge,” “Heavenly Luo Concealed Edge,” and “Heavenly Luo Edgeless.” Just from the nas of these concepts, it was clear this was not a Cultivation Technique for hermits but for those who underwent falls and grindings.
Right, even if he casually acquired a servant, rely as a facade to conceal his purchase of the Water Attribute Cultivation Techniques, he wanted to be more responsible.
And the compatibility of only seventy-eight percent was sowhat disappointing for Feng Jun—where did I go wrong?
He ca near the courtyard but did not enter, unsure how to face Yun Buyao once inside.
In truth, Yun Buyao was oblivious to all this. As a mortal ineligible for cultivation, being able to practice was already a delight, but Feng Jun took pride in his discernnt and could not be complacent, knowing that he could do better.

Of course, this was under the premise that he had a certain amount of Spirit Stones and capability, it was only then that he would consider such things. If he couldn’t even take care of himself, he wouldn’t be so whimsical—and actually, it was the sa now. So peerless Cultivation Techniques required tens of millions of Spirit Stones, which he couldn’t possibly buy for her.
He wandered not far from the small courtyard, inevitably opening Yun Buyao’s profile to take another look, and then, unintentionally, his finger landed on the “78%” compatibility rate.
This compatibility rate was a phantom because she had not yet begun to cultivate; it had been copied over as a presumption. But precisely this phantom had been opened—an indicator flashed briefly.
After opening it, he saw several lines of text. Feng Jun couldn’t help but inhale sharply, “Is this even possible?”
The text was explaining why the compatibility was at only 78%.
Why so low? Because Heavenly Luo Edge was not a Great Dao Cultivation Technique, but rather a sword technique with a unique edge. Its power was not too small, but the room for improvent was severely limited, and the derived techniques could at most be practiced up to the level of detachnt from the mundane world. To cultivate to the Golden Core Stage would depend on destiny.
Sword techniques with unique edges were common among Gold Attribute Cultivation Techniques.
However, if this was the only drawback, the compatibility rate wouldn’t be so low—many cultivators who only reached the detachnt stage had compatibility rates over 80%.
Another factor was that Yun Buyao’s talent was simply too good. A cultivator with primarily a Pure Gold attribute, practicing Heavenly Luo Edge, could easily reach the detachnt stage, and the compatibility might even reach 85%, because that was their limit.
But Yun Buyao was 24K gold; her potential had no limits. Cultivating Heavenly Luo Edge could indeed ensure reaching the detachnt stage, but… could this technique be considered compatible? It was more akin to harming her potential.
So it was a 78% compatibility rate, not just because the level of the technique was not high, but also because Yun Buyao’s talent was too exceptional.
Having finished reading the note, Feng Jun began to understand—this Destiny Plate I found is really sothing, allowing to calculate so much myself.
The next mont, he found the Book of Fleeting Water Technique and copied it onto Yun Buyao, only to discover that the compatibility rate for this technique was also at 77%, just one percent less than Heavenly Luo Edge.
Yet, this was only a Water Attribute Cultivation Technique!
It was evident that compatibility between talent and technique was not sothing easily explained in a sentence or two.
Out of curiosity, Feng Jun found that Jing Qingyang was also nearby and decided to use Heavenly Luo Edge to calculate the compatibility for this Innate Expert.
Jing Qingyang had a primarily Earth Attribute talent. After Feng Jun made his calculations, he found that Jing’s compatibility ranged from 48% to 69%—this ti there was even a margin of error.
After so thought, it made sense; this person had not yet entered the path through martial arts, so a considerable degree of uncertainty existed.
He then used the Book of Five Elents Transcendence to test Jing Qingyang, finding a compatibility of 53% to 69%.
When Feng Jun used the Book of Five Elents Transcendence to test Yun Buyao, he was shocked to discover that her compatibility with the technique was as high as 88%.
Five Elents Transcendence was one of the most fundantal techniques in the Cultivation World, without comparison. For Yun Buyao to have such high compatibility indicated a truly exceptional talent.
Moreover, Five Elents Transcendence was indeed a basic technique, allowing for an easy transition to other techniques, even though it was only a Transcendence stage technique.
After so exploration, Feng Jun had roughly figured out the issue with technique compatibility. However, he felt that rising from one ring to two should co with more than just these benefits.
So he tested so other functions and incidentally discovered that he could now analyze the quality of techniques and even Magical Treasures.
Feng Jun stayed in Qiuchen Market for two days, testing every feature he could, with trendous gains.
The most valuable discovery was that he now had so precognitive ability. For example, he noticed that the durability of soone’s Magical Treasure in the market was dropping fast and would shatter in seven months.
Being able to predict the ti was not so unusual. What was unusual was that the annotation ntioned that the treasure would be used five tis within these seven months—if not used so frequently, seven re months wouldn’t really be an issue.
Feng Jun couldn’t help but sigh: It’s truly like having a piece of the shattered Destiny Plate, now with a slight ability to glimpse into destiny.
In fact, he had many other gains. For instance, if a Spirit Plant was not growing well, he could analyze the reason as well as attempt various thods to save it…
Two rings were indeed so much stronger than one. Feng Jun felt this was incredibly worthwhile; he had even figured out nurous ways to make money. In comparison, giving Dong Zenghong a Spirit Gathering Array was hardly anything.
If he weren’t worried about Spirit Stones depreciating in value in the Earth Realm, he would have no issue paying ten thousand Spirit Stones for such changes.
On the Mobile Phone Realm, he felt that paying one million Spirit Stones would not be excessive— of course, he didn’t currently have that many Spirit Stones, but he would definitely honor the cost.
He even began to look forward with anticipation, “How can I get to three rings? If only I could have an Olympic Five Rings…”
