Chapter 104: Choosing a Fighting Technique (First Update)

  Standing in front of the stone gate, the elder continuously knocked three long and three short beats six times, then quietly waited.

  At this time, the host Yi Yun told everyone about the precautions in the Douji Pavilion.

  Yi Yun looked at everyone and said, "In the Dou Technique Pavilion, after you enter, you will arrive at a completely different place. That place is pitch black, you don't need to worry about anything else, just mentally think about the type of Dou technique you need, note that it's the type of Dou technique you need, not the level of the Dou technique."

  He paused for a moment, giving everyone some time to digest the information before continuing: "This Fighting Technique Pavilion is the foundation of our Yi family's prosperity for thousands of years. Nobody knows exactly how many fighting techniques are inside, probably only the ancestors who built this pavilion know. The levels of these techniques are also unknown. In history, one of our ancestors even obtained a top-grade technique, which led to a great disaster for our Yi family. Therefore, from then on, anyone who enters the Fighting Technique Pavilion is not allowed to tell anyone about the level of the technique they obtain. Of course, if you get a very low-level technique, such as a lower-level Mystic or Yellow grade, it's okay to say it out loud. Even if it's a mid-level Mystic grade, that's also fine."

  After finishing, Yi Yun looked at these ten people, looking at the ten young men in front of him who were trapped in their fantasies. Yi Yun seemed to have thought of his younger self back then, wasn't he also entering this martial arts pavilion with the dream of obtaining a Ground Level martial art? Unfortunately, reality was cruel. Only after becoming the head of the household did he realize that the ancestor who had obtained a Ground Level martial art was already a figure from over 800 years ago. In these 800 years, the highest martial art obtained from the middle was only a single Xuan-level mid-grade, let alone Ground Level, which was just an illusory dream.

  Looking at the person in front of him, Yi Yun let out a sigh: "Well, just let them keep this dream then!"

  In fact, the four major families of Feather Castle all have a Douji Pavilion, some large and some small, but they all have legendary earth-level Douji, and similarly, no one has ever really obtained it, even if they did, they might not be willing to say it out loud.

  Yi Chi and the other ten people, after hearing Yi Yun's words, except for Yi Chi, everyone else became excited, couldn't help but think of the scene when they obtained that earth-level fighting technique, for a moment, they didn't hear any of Yi Yun's following words.

  Yi Chi also has a bit of immunity, and he's relatively clear-headed. What kind of earth-level combat skills are easily obtained? Otherwise, the Yi family wouldn't be unable to produce even a single high-quality combat skill at the Xuan level now. As for mid-quality Xuan level skills, Yi Chi believes they still exist, but are probably in the hands of a few people. His father should have one too, but why he didn't pass it down to him is likely because he thinks Yi Chi is still too young. After all, according to convention, to fully utilize a mid-quality Xuan level combat skill, one needs to have Dou Ling level strength. With Yi Chi's current strength, in Yi Yun's opinion, it's probably not yet time for him to learn that level of combat skills.

  He sighed slightly and then stopped thinking about those unnecessary things. What level of martial arts he could attain would depend on his fate.

  But what kind of move, he had already thought about it long ago, no need to call out the sword technique, just by looking at the three words on the stone gate, you can tell that the person who carved those three words is definitely a master swordsman, so his most skilled fighting technique should be swordsmanship, and maybe even get a high-level one, even if it's not that high-level, it's all worth trying, after all, he doesn't lack fighting techniques.

  As for whether the person who wrote this inscription is the same as the one who built the Douji Pavilion, Yi Chi couldn't be certain, but there was also a high probability, it's worth taking a small gamble, anyway he wouldn't lose.

  After waiting for a long time, the stone gate finally opened with a loud rumble. From the opening, it was pitch black inside, and there was nothing at all.

  At this moment, an old man suddenly walked out from behind the stone gate. The old man's hair and beard were all white, and his hair was even dragging on the ground. He appeared so abruptly in front of everyone that Yi Chi didn't even see how he got there, it was terrifyingly unusual.

  The old man came out and swept his eyes over the crowd, saying with a slightly sleepy tone: "You've arrived, well, since you're all here, come on in."

  After he finished speaking, he directly walked back and disappeared into the darkness.

  At this time, the host said: "This is the Supreme Elder who guards the Douji Pavilion. After you enter, directly choose your Douji and leave. Otherwise, the temper of this Supreme Elder is not very good."

  After finishing speaking, Yi Yun still had a lingering fear, it seemed that he was the kind of person who would look around after making a choice.

  "Yes." Everyone hastily responded, after seeing the old man's mysterious appearance and disappearance, no one dared to underestimate him. Now that they heard the host's words, they decided to finish selecting earlier and leave this place earlier.

  After glancing at everyone, Yi Yun said again: "Alright, all of you go in, I'll wait for you here with the Great Elder."

  After he finished speaking, he and Da Zhang Lao both shifted their bodies to the side. Everyone looked at each other, and finally, it was Yi Chi who led the way in.

  After entering the pool, he felt that his sixth sense had completely disappeared and didn't know what to do for a while. He could only stand still, but it was strange that none of the people following him bumped into him.

  "Has everyone stopped?" Yi Chi speculated.

  But then he thought about it and didn't think it was right either, he had only walked a few steps before stopping, with the length of the lineup of ten people, there should still be people who haven't come in yet? Why did it stop moving?

  At this time, a loud shout suddenly came from the void.

  "Hurry up and choose!"

  Startled by the voice, Yi Chi almost drew his own sword, fortunately he restrained himself in time. Thinking about it made him feel a chill down his spine - this person had actually managed to make him feel threatened with just one loud shout. This kind of strength was probably even stronger than that red-haired old man's.

  Wiping away his sweat, Yi Chi let out a sigh of relief and thought: "How many more things are there in the Yi family that I don't know about?"

  The more he understood the Ye family, the more terrifying they became. However, with this strength, they could only coexist peacefully with three other families in the same city. Then, what kind of power did those high-and-mighty super families possess?

  Thinking of the two Nine-Star Dou Emperors he met at the Lianyun Auction House last time, Yi Chi felt that the mainland was even more unfathomable.

  "After all, it's just that my own strength is too weak! This time out, I must desperately raise my strength, no matter what, I can't be intimidated by a single shout." Yi Chi thought to himself.

  Without daring to hesitate, Yi Chi hastily thought about the fighting skills he needed in his mind. Needless to say, he still asked for a sword technique book.

  Yi Chi was just thinking, he needed a sword technique, and suddenly a memory appeared in his mind like a miracle. There were words, pictures, and even a small figure constantly dancing with swords. Every move was so powerful that it could shatter mountains and rivers, and make the hundred-mile sound of mourning. At this time, Yi Chi was deeply attracted to this sword technique and couldn't help himself.

  In the darkness somewhere, the old man who had come out suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, stared intently at the front for a while, and then closed them again, letting out a deep sigh.

  "You've finally found someone to pass it on to!"

  The old man's mouth didn't move, but his voice spread throughout this space, causing it to tremble.

  ......

  Immersed in his sword technique, Yi Chi stood there motionless for several hours, until he let out a heavy sigh and opened his tightly closed eyes.

  Two sharp swords flashed in his eyes and disappeared. Yi Chi looked deeply into the dark depths before taking a step back.

  At this step, he came to the stone gate, just like the old man's sudden appearance at that time, and appeared in front of everyone.

  And at this time, there were still others who hadn't come out yet.

  This left Yi Chi in a state of astonishment, "Could it be that they too have received the inheritance?"

  This caused a ripple in Yi Chi's heart, and he hastily walked to his father's side and asked: "Father, how long have I been inside?"

  He looked at his young son with a puzzled expression, although he was perplexed by the question, Yi Yun still replied: "It's not much, just that instant, choosing a fighting technique is like this, it only takes an instant."

  After hearing Yi Yun's words, Yi Chi finally let out a sigh of relief in his heart.

  "It's okay, it's not like they also got the inheritance. I'm saying, this inheritance thing, how can it be like a big white cabbage that anyone can get?"

  Only after realizing it wasn't as he thought did Yi Chi calm down, standing alone to one side. He still needed to think carefully about this. Firstly, the fact that the Douji Pavilion could control time was astonishing - just how strong must the person who built it have been? Or perhaps it wasn't actually built by his family's ancestors as his father had said, but rather they had discovered such a place and built the Yi family estate around it.

  If this Douji Pavilion was built by the ancestors themselves, then Yi Chi would have to reevaluate the strength of the Yi family. What kind of power could control time? A god? In any case, it's something that ordinary people can't do.

  If it wasn't the ancestors themselves who built it, but rather they discovered this place and then built the Yi family home, then who exactly built this place? What was its original purpose?

  This series of problems is really getting on Yiqi's nerves.

  He sighed and thought helplessly, "I really didn't expect it, I'll just take advantage of it then. Who knows if the other three families have such a place? If they do, I'll have to go once, even if it's just for this inheritance, I'll have to try my luck."

  Although Yi Chi still doesn't know what level of sword technique he has obtained, it is absolutely much stronger than his Wind God Leg. It's probably not a Heavenly grade but at least an Earthly high-grade one. In short, this time Yi Chi has gained a lot, getting such a heritage for free, and there might be three more waiting for him to accept. If he accepts all of them, the benefits will naturally be self-evident.
