Chapter Thirty-One: Picking Up Battle Skills

  "Even the elder doesn't know a battle skill similar to Qi Feng Yin." Lu Yuefeng had always wanted to figure out what kind of battle skill his Qi Feng Yin was, "Forget it, one day I'll understand."

  Lu Yu Feng had returned to the inner sect, but he didn't speak with anyone. Instead, he cultivated alone, occasionally meeting up with his senior brother, Feng Chen, for a drink. Last time he heard from Feng Chen that once he reached the Hua Yuan realm, he could go to the Cang Jing Pavilion to retrieve some things. So now, Lu Yu Feng stood in front of the Cang Jing Pavilion.

  Lu Yu Feng stepped into the Scripture Pavilion, and saw an old man sitting in the center of the pavilion. Lu Yu Feng walked forward, cupped his hands and said, "Pavilion Elder, I am Lu Yu Feng. Not long ago, I broke through to the Hua Yuan realm. I have come to find a suitable battle technique for myself. Please approve it, Pavilion Elder." This Pavilion Elder was the same one that Lu Yu Feng had met in the Scripture Pavilion before. Since he wanted to choose a battle technique, he needed to enter the second level, which required the approval of the Pavilion Elder.

  "Alright, go ahead. Remember, don't be too greedy, on the second floor you can choose one combat skill, on the third floor you can choose two, and each subsequent floor allows you to choose an additional combat skill. However, each floor requires a certain level of strength to enter, so take care!" The elder finished speaking and closed his eyes.

  "Thank you, Elder!" Lu Yufeng turned around and walked towards the second floor of the Scripture Pavilion. Before this, Lu Yufeng had only browsed through books on the first floor of the pavilion and had never entered the second floor. However, he had heard from many fellow disciples that apart from the first floor which was open to all, one needed a certain level of strength to enter the upper floors of the Scripture Pavilion.

  Lü Yu Feng saw that the staircase leading to the second floor of the Zang Jing Pavilion had a total of nine steps, all of which were circulating with faint halos, and it was clear at a glance that they were not ordinary.

  Lu Yu Feng stretched out his right foot, and stepped onto the first step of the stairs. Lu Yu Feng only felt a slight tremble, without much sensation, except for a faint stirring of the true yuan within him. Lu Yu Feng brought up his left foot, standing steadily on the first step of the stairs.

  "It seems that this staircase leading to the second floor is only a test to see if one has entered the Huayuan realm and condensed their true yuan." As soon as he understood this, Lu Yufeng took seven steps in a row and stood firmly on the eighth step. "This is just an array that suppresses the true yuan, it's not even comparable to the chaotic five-element killing array I encountered at Wangtian Peak." When Lu Yufeng reached the eighth step, he only spent nearly one layer of true yuan to resist this pressure.

  Due to the great war a thousand years ago, the remaining formations were not many. The formation that suppressed the true yuan in the Zangjing Pavilion was also considered luxurious.

  Lu Yu Feng didn't hesitate at all, and with one step forward, he was already standing on the second floor of the Scripture Pavilion.

  The second floor of the Scripture Pavilion is similar to the first floor, with rows of bookshelves standing upright, each holding a jade slip. These jade slips not only contain battle techniques but also some secret methods from various sects. Each bookshelf has detailed labels. Lu Yufeng came here for the battle technique this time, so he went straight to the bookshelf containing the battle technique category.

  "The Mighty Bull's Secret, The Mountain Opener...". Lu Yu Feng had just approached the bookshelf on combat techniques when he saw many combat techniques.

  "I've been using this knife for a long time, I might as well find a book on knife techniques." In fact, Lu Yufeng's ideal weapon was not a knife, but a sword or a trident spear. However, from the start of the battle until now, Lu Yufeng had always used a knife. Now he still wanted to find a book on knife techniques and see if there would be an opportunity to study sword techniques later. After all, Yunyang Sect was not a sword-repairing sect, so it was impossible to have advanced sword skills.

  "Overlord Slash? Sounds pretty good." Lu Yufeng took down a jade slip with the battle technique named Overlord Slash.

  "Overbearing Blade Slash, this blade technique is extremely fierce and can only be practiced by those with a strong physical body. Otherwise, it will cause great harm to the body! Remember! Remember!" Just as Lu Yu Feng infused his consciousness into the jade slip, a warning voice came through.

  "Only a strong physique can cultivate? Wasn't this specially prepared for me? Anyway, after getting the green liquid drop, I was preparing to temper my body, and this knife technique is just right for me." Lu Yufeng took out a backup jade slip from the bookshelf next to him, copied the Overlord's Slash, and then put the jade slip of Overlord's Slash back in its original place.

  Lu Yu Feng turned around, looking at the staircase leading to the third floor of the Cang Jing Pavilion. Lu Yu Feng had once heard his fellow disciples from the Men Gate say that as long as one could enter the third floor, they would be able to choose two combat techniques.

  "Whatever, Elder is right. Greed will not bring satisfaction, I already have the Overlord's Blade, it's enough for me at this stage." Lu Yu Feng shook his head and went downstairs, now he should focus on physical training.

  "Elder, I've already chosen my combat skills. Now, I need to go to the Treasure Pavilion to select a weapon. I'll take my leave first." Lu Yuefeng said with a bow to the elder.

  "Why don't you try to see if you can pass the third level? Everyone who enters the second level for the first time will try to see if they can enter the third level." The old man asked Lu Yufeng.

  "Returning to the old man, I just broke through not long ago and still need to hone my skills for a period of time. Moreover, as you said, being greedy will only lead to choking." Lu Yufeng replied.

  "Well, you can go then." The official had been monitoring Lu Yufeng with his divine sense all along and knew that he had only chosen one battle technique, so he let Lu Yufeng leave.

  "Yes, sir." Lu Yufeng turned around and left the Scripture Pavilion.

  "The true origin is hidden and not revealed, being a person who is not anxious or flustered, knowing when to advance and retreat. The most important thing is that he has entered the eight layers of Naqi, if there is no great calamity, in the future he will definitely not be an ordinary person." The old official looked at Lu Yufeng walking out, thinking silently to himself. When Lu Yufeng came back, he had already broken through to the Huayuan boundary, and he also didn't know whether Lu Yufeng had entered the Dingqi ninth layer, obtaining the Heavenly Dao reward, otherwise, it would definitely be even more shocking.

  Lu Yu Feng walked out of Cang Jing Pavilion and headed towards Cang Bao Pavilion.

  "Although I already have a long knife, it's for killing people and robbing goods, can't be seen in the light of day. Still need to go pick out another one to use, to avoid exposure." Lu Yufeng walked into the Treasure Pavilion.

  "I already know your intention, you can choose for yourself." The elder guarding the Treasure Pavilion said to Lu Yufeng before he could speak, then waved his hand and the door on the right side opened.

  "Remember, you can choose at most two magical instruments." The elder reminded Lu Yu Feng once again.

  "Got it, kiddo." Lu Yefeng walked into the room where the magical instruments were stored.

  Lu Yu Feng had just walked in when he felt a flash of sword light and shadow, an aura that transcended ordinary weapons.

  "This knife is not bad, the weight is okay." Lu Yufeng walked to where the knives were placed and picked up a long knife with a similar style to his current one. "Alright, this one will do." Lu Yufeng originally just wanted to find a knife for cover, so as long as it felt right in his hand, that was enough. This long knife happened to meet Lu Yufeng's standards, so he didn't waste any more time and chose it.

  "What else to choose?" Generally, people who enter here for the first time will choose an attacking weapon and a defensive gear. But Lu Yufeng didn't want to choose a defensive gear, firstly because the defensive gears here were simply not good, they couldn't even withstand attacks from people of the same level, so Lu Yufeng thought about choosing another weapon.

  "I already have two knives, I might as well choose a sword for the remaining one." Lu Yufeng turned around and walked towards where the swords were placed.

  Lu Yufeng saw all sorts of swords here, single-handed swords, double-handed swords, sleeve swords, long swords... Lu Yufeng was dazzled and didn't know which sword to choose. Although Lu Yufeng's eyes were quite good at judging in the fantasy realm, that was also for those better weapons. As for these inferior swords, none of them looked very good to Lu Yufeng, and he didn't know which one was slightly better.
