Chapter 36

"Seven thousand!"

The opponent drew the long sword in his hand, his tone indifferent, and threw a stack of gold notes on the ground, "My name is Wei Yun. If you can defeat me, these gold notes are yours."

"Make your move!" Hu Gao said calmly.

Wei Yun instantly burst forward, a sharp sword qi shooting out from his long sword, aiming straight for Hu Gao's chest.

Seeing that he had successfully executed this move, a cold smile appeared on Wei Yun's lips. Although this move had few variations, its power and attack speed were terrifying, and he didn't think Hu Gao could withstand it.

If Hu Gao was injured by this move, he would have a greater chance of completely defeating him.

"Bro, your move is really weak, and the follow-up is too feeble!"

However, just as he thought Hu Gao couldn't withstand his sword, he saw the latter move like a ghost, miraculously dodging his sword qi attack and appearing in front of him in the blink of an eye, the sharp sound of the wind cutting through the air ringing in his ears.

"How is this possible?"

Wei Yun's expression changed slightly. Indeed, he had no follow-up attack, but this was a secret known by few, just like Guo Tao's secret. Yet, Hu Gao had seen through it at a glance.

As Hu Gao had said, he indeed had no powerful follow-up moves. Therefore, when Hu Gao appeared beside him, he could only stab randomly with his sword, hoping to hold him off and buy himself enough time.

"Bang!"

However, he soon felt a sharp pain in his chest, accompanied by the sound of bones cracking. He was definitely injured.

"What the hell is going on?!"

The sharp pain quickly made Wei Yun faint. Before closing his eyes, he was still trying to figure out why Hu Gao could see through his weakness.

"Another seven thousand, hehe." Hu Gao chuckled, picked up the gold notes, and flew toward another arena.

"How many gold coins do you have?" Hu Gao asked straightforwardly.

"Eight thousand!"

As soon as the opponent answered, Hu Gao didn't say much more. He burst forward, immediately unleashing a powerful attack. His eyes scanned the opponent, and the flaws in the opponent's stance were immediately revealed in his mind.

"Get down!"

Hu Gao approached the opponent, his palm, filled with immense force, struck the opponent's body. He quickly took out the gold notes from his pocket and, with a push of his palm, sent the opponent flying off the arena.

Putting the gold notes in his pocket, Hu Gao didn't even look at the person and landed on the last arena.

"Just you left..."

Hu Gao's lips curved into a smile, "How many gold coins do you have, sir?"

"Ten thousand!"

The man's lips twitched as he answered. After he finished speaking and saw Hu Gao's eager stance, he quickly shouted, "Stop, I surrender..."

"Uh... You're quite sensible." Hu Gao was taken aback, then grinned and walked toward the man, extending his hand, clearly indicating that since he had surrendered, he should hand over the gold coins.

"Here are the gold coins." The man handed a stack of gold notes to Hu Gao and said, "I have a question. Why are you suddenly so powerful today? You're much stronger than yesterday, and I feel that this isn't even your full strength. Did you hide your strength yesterday?"

"You're not qualified to know!" Hu Gao didn't want to say another word to this person who didn't know his own limits and was just looking for a beating.

After organizing all the gold coins, Hu Gao leisurely jumped off the arena, ignoring the crowd's clamor, and headed straight for the library.

Hu Gao's memory was now excellent, and he easily found the library even though he had only been there once. Over the past two days, he had earned nearly fifty thousand gold coins. After some thought, he decided to take out all the gold coins and hand them to the librarian.

He was informed that because his total deposit had reached the upgrade point, his ordinary gold card had been upgraded to a first-class gold card. In the future, he could get a ten percent discount on viewing the Yuan Decision, which was a pleasant surprise.

Hu Gao continued to the physical cultivation bookshelf. Last time, he had spent five hundred gold coins and hadn't even finished the first level. This time, he planned to finish all five levels, as he had enough gold coins.

Although he hadn't truly cultivated any Yuan Decision yet, his understanding of it had greatly improved. There were countless Yuan Decisions in this world, and he doubted any martial artist had ever thought of creating their own Yuan Decision this way. The most important thing was that by studying Yuan Decisions, Hu Gao could敏锐地捕捉到对手的出招动作，相当于多了一双无形的【写轮眼】，这绝对也是一个BUG级的存在。

一整个上午的时间过去，胡高这才将体修类书架上所有适合自己的元诀给翻看完毕。

他连午餐都顾不得去吃，而是盘坐在书架下面，认真的开始消化那些元诀。

说实话，看多了这些低等级的元诀，他感觉与前世的那些武侠小说中所描写的拳脚法则有着很大的相似性，都比较基础，即便现在真的学习了几套元决，想必作用也不甚了了。

胡高读书时曾经看过一本书，叫做《笑傲江湖》，里面有套剑法叫做《独孤九剑》，这套剑法的原理对他的启发很大，这套剑法真的只有九式，分别是破剑式、破刀式、破枪式、破鞭式、破索式、破掌式、破箭式、和破气式。

光是看这九式的名字便能知道，这独孤九剑只凭这九招便能破尽天下所有的武功，其实这已经不是什么剑法招式，而是一套武学理论，这套理论简单来说就是【料敌机先】四个字。

通过把人能做的动作全部拆解，透过分析对手的目前姿势，他能做的动作有哪些？对手哪个部位、哪条肌肉有动作徵兆，推算他下一步只可能是什么招式？这就达到了破尽天下一切武功的目的。

胡高现在的做法其实跟这套理论有一定的相通，他可以通过消化天下元决的方式，来达到分析对手元决的目的，最终用一套普适的元决将他们击败。

想到这里，胡高不由的高兴起来，有了理论的基础，实践才能事半功倍，在消化完全拳脚类元决后，他又继续把兵器类元决全部翻了一遍，差不多又是一个下午的时间过去了。别说是胡高了，就连小五都开始饿得呱呱叫了起来。

“小五，先别急，让我再挑选一本人品上阶的元决，现在我学习的全都是体修类元决，遇到一些不太好近身战斗的敌人，有些难以对付。”

胡高走到技能的书架前，看了看，人品上阶的元决不过才几本，很快就浏览了一遍，恰好有一本火系的元决与他的契合度达到了八成。

就你了！胡高在书架边刷了下金卡，发现里面竟然也就剩下了一万出头的金币，果然是花钱如流水。

《火龙术》，修炼到入门可以在指定的位置，从地上发起一道直冲天际的火龙，持续时间达到三秒的时间，修炼到小成境界可以催动火龙在一个很小的范围内进行移动，修炼到大成境界可以同时催动两条火龙在一个较大的范围内进行移动。

不愧是上阶的元决，这火龙术虽然入门级的作用比较有限，估计也就只有烧烤的时候比较有用，毕竟敌人不会站在原地让你烧，但是一旦修炼到大成后，简直就是大杀器级别的啊。

胡高笑了笑，先把元决背了下来，等回去之后再慢慢修炼。

“天黑了，也该回去准备休息了。”胡高感觉自己整个脑袋都要炸开，里面装了太多东西，非常难受。他想了想决定明后两天都不来战院了，就待在家里慢慢消化今天所背诵的这些元诀，万一要是战院问起来就说自己去传功长老那了，也无所谓。

刚出了战院的大门，正好看到有着一头标志性银发的极乐嘴里叼着有点类似芦苇杆一样的物事，斜靠在战院门口的围墙上，碰到路过的女同门，还时不时的吹上两声口哨，这哪里是什么富二代贵族，完全就是一个小流氓啊。

以胡高的推断，这家伙应该是有意在等着他，赶紧转过头，往另外一个方向走去。

“胡高，你小子可算是出来了，莫非今天在藏书阁待了一整天？”别看极乐眼睛好像是在看女同门，实际上一直在关注着大门口，看到胡高一出来，立刻就跑了过来。

这个北极分支的家伙看起来还真是有点自来熟呢，胡高只好停了下来，点了点头，说道：“怎么？找我有事情吗？”

“没事，知道你这家伙今天赚足了金币，特意在这等着你请客的。”极乐一脸奸笑的说道。

“哦，那不好意思，我现在已经身无分文了……”胡高摊了摊手，他确实没有说谎，今天赢来的钱已经全部砸到了藏书阁了。

极乐直接无语，“不会吧？几万金币花光了？你今天去的是藏书阁还是销金窟啊，你小子该不会是去学了上品的元决吧？”

胡高点了点头，以极乐的智商他绝对想不到自己主要学的都是最低级的元决，不过他也懒得解释了。

“好吧，算你狠，走吧，今天整顿算我的了，不过下回你可得请回来！”

胡高一阵无语，心里盘算着要是跟了极乐去吃饭，小五可怎么办？

“没事的主人，晚上我可以自己去狩猎，现在一阶中期的妖兽对我来说完全没有任何威胁，而且我还可以把妖丹带回来给主人。”

“还能把妖丹带回来？”

“没错，别看我个头小，但是在我的体内还有另外一层空间，里面可以放置很多东西。”

“喂，胡高，是我请你吃饭耶，怎么一副不情愿的样子傻站在这里？”极乐在一旁奇怪的说道。

“额，好吧，那你带路吧……”

However, by analyzing all possible actions, he could predict the opponent's next move, thus achieving the goal of breaking through all martial arts in the world.

After an entire morning, Hu Gao finally finished reviewing all the physical cultivation Yuan Decisions suitable for him on the bookshelf.

He didn't even bother to have lunch, instead sitting cross-legged under the bookshelf to seriously digest those Yuan Decisions.

To be honest, after reading so many low-level Yuan Decisions, he felt they were very similar to the martial arts described in the wuxia novels he had read in his previous life, all quite basic. Even if he learned a few sets of Yuan Decisions now, he doubted they would be very useful.

When Hu Gao was reading, he once read a book called "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer," which contained a sword technique called "Dugu Nine Swords." The principle of this sword technique greatly inspired him. This sword technique really only had nine moves: Sword-Breaking, Saber-Breaking, Spear-Breaking, Whip-Breaking, Chain-Breaking, Palm-Breaking, Arrow-Breaking, and Qi-Breaking.

Just by looking at the names of these nine moves, one could tell that the Dugu Nine Swords could break through all martial arts in the world with just these nine moves. In fact, this was no longer a set of sword techniques but a martial arts theory, which could be summarized in four words: "anticipating the enemy's moves."

By breaking down all possible actions and analyzing the opponent's current posture, he could determine what actions the opponent could take. By observing which part or muscle of the opponent showed signs of movement, he could predict the opponent's next move. This achieved the goal of breaking through all martial arts in the world.

Hu Gao's current approach was somewhat similar to this theory. By digesting all the Yuan Decisions in the world, he could analyze the opponent's Yuan Decisions and ultimately defeat them with a universal Yuan Decision.

Thinking about this, Hu Gao couldn't help but feel happy. With a theoretical foundation, practical application would be more efficient. After digesting all the physical cultivation Yuan Decisions, he continued to review all the weapon-based Yuan Decisions, which took another afternoon. Not only was Hu Gao hungry, but even Xiao Wu was starting to cry from hunger.

"Xiao Wu, don't worry, let me pick an upper-tier Yuan Decision. I've been learning only physical cultivation Yuan Decisions, and it's difficult to deal with enemies who are not good at close combat."

Hu Gao walked to the skill bookshelf, looked around, and found only a few upper-tier Yuan Decisions. He quickly browsed through them and found a fire-based Yuan Decision that had an eighty percent compatibility with him.

You're the one! Hu Gao swiped his gold card at the bookshelf and found that he only had a little over ten thousand gold coins left, indeed spending money like water.

"Fire Dragon Technique," when cultivated to the beginner level, can summon a fire dragon from the ground at a designated location, lasting for three seconds. When cultivated to the intermediate level, it can move the fire dragon within a small area. When cultivated to the advanced level, it can simultaneously move two fire dragons within a larger area.

Truly an upper-tier Yuan Decision, the Fire Dragon Technique, while limited at the beginner level (useful mainly for barbecues, as enemies won't stand still to be burned), becomes a powerful weapon when cultivated to the advanced level.

Hu Gao smiled, memorized the Yuan Decision, and planned to practice it slowly after returning home.

"It's getting dark, time to go back and rest." Hu Gao felt his head was about to explode, filled with too much information, making him very uncomfortable. He decided not to come to the academy for the next two days and stay at home to slowly digest the Yuan Decisions he had memorized today. If the academy asked, he would just say he went to the elder for training, no big deal.

Just as he left the academy gate, he saw Jile, with his distinctive silver hair, leaning against the wall, holding something like a reed in his mouth, whistling at passing female students. This guy was clearly a small thug, not a noble second generation.

Judging by Hu Gao's reasoning, Jile was probably waiting for him on purpose. He quickly turned and walked in another direction.

"Hu Gao, you finally came out. Did you stay in the library all day?" Despite Jile's eyes seemingly on the female students, he was actually watching the gate. Seeing Hu Gao come out, he immediately ran over.

This guy from the Northern Branch was really quite friendly. Hu Gao had to stop and nod, "What's up? Need something?"

"Nothing, just knew you made a lot of gold today and was waiting for you to treat me." Jile said with a sly smile.

"Oh, sorry, I'm broke now..." Hu Gao shrugged, not lying, as he had spent all the money he won today in the library.

Jile was speechless, "No way? You spent tens of thousands of gold coins? Did you go to the library or a gold mine? You must have learned an upper-tier Yuan Decision, right?"

Hu Gao nodded. With Jile's intelligence, he wouldn't guess that Hu Gao had mainly learned the lowest-level Yuan Decisions, but he didn't bother to explain.

"Fine, you win. Let's go, I'll treat you today, but you owe me next time!"

Hu Gao was speechless, wondering what to do about Xiao Wu if he went to eat with Jile.

"Don't worry, Master. I can hunt at night. First-stage mid-level monsters are no threat to me, and I can bring back the monster cores for you."

"Really, you can bring back the monster cores?"

"Sure, don't underestimate me. I have an extra space inside my body where I can store many things."

"Hey, Hu Gao, I'm treating you to a meal, why are you standing there looking so reluctant?" Jile said, puzzled.

"Uh, okay, lead the way..."
