Chapter 66 - The Heaven-Defying Sword Manual

  Lin Yuan was somewhat excited at this time, but he also felt a little inexplicable in his heart.

  Lin Yuan had just started thinking that he could only choose one martial skill, but for the current Lin Yuan, it was far from enough. What Lin Yuan lacked now were attacking martial skills and defensive martial skills.

  Lin Yuan's current situation requires a defensive martial skill and an attacking swordsmanship that can enhance his strength. Lin Yuan is very clear about what he needs.

  In terms of true yuan cultivation, Lin Yuan himself has the Tai Shang Yuan Shi Jing, which doesn't need to be changed. Apart from this, as for lightness skills and footwork, Lin Yuan himself has the Treading Clouds Footwork, which is also a high-level footwork. Even Lin Yuan feels that this footwork is just a fragment, but what he currently has is enough for him to cultivate with.

  In terms of physical training, he hasn't mastered any Golden Body techniques, but the Tai Shang Yuan Shi Jing is sufficient. As for attacking and defensive techniques like the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique, they are already unable to keep up with his current strength and progress. Therefore, a defensive martial skill and a sword technique with extremely strong attacking power are currently the best choices.

  But the Martial Arts Pavilion only allowed him to choose one, which made Lin Yuan very entangled, and he didn't know what to choose. When he came, Lin Yuan originally planned to choose a defensive martial art, but unexpectedly encountered such a thing, and it just happened to solve his own urgent need. It was like sending charcoal in the snow.

  "It's strange, why would senior give himself an extra choice quota? Did I catch his attention or did he discover the secret in my dantian?"

  Lin Yuan couldn't understand, to say that he discovered the secret in his dantian was impossible. Lin Yuan's parents had also said that the mysterious Biyu Pearl in his dantian had a hidden power that even he himself couldn't discover.

  Lin Yuan didn't think much about it either. He didn't want to linger in front of this strange old man for a moment, lest he be discovered and his secret exposed.

  "How strange, I actually can't probe this kid's dantian!" The old man with white hair muttered to himself the moment Lin Yuan left. "Never mind, let Song kid pay more attention to him, the rest is not my business." The strange old man murmured, and picked up the book in his hand once again.

  Outside the entrance, there is no other way to enter the Wuji Pavilion. There are no windows either. I don't know who designed this place, but inside it looks spacious and bright. The walls around are brown, emitting a faint scent of books, illuminating every detail in the space, spotless.

  For some reason, there was no one in the Martial Arts Pavilion today to choose martial arts except for Lin Yuan, and there wasn't a single person.

  It's just that Lin Yuan didn't know that among the outer sect disciples, who else would choose their martial skills so late, and which outer sect disciple wouldn't choose their martial skills as soon as they arrived.

  The first thing that caught my eye was a row of brown wooden bookshelves.

  The bookshelf was filled with rows and rows of thread-bound ancient books.

  "Quánfǎ Zǒngāng, Dāofǎ Chūjiě, Jiàndào Chūjiě, Qiūfēng Yùshuǐ Jiàn Fǎ..."

  Translation:

  "The General Outline of Fist Methods, The Initial Explanation of Saber Methods, The Initial Explanation of Sword Path, Autumn Wind's Water Sword Method..."

  Lin Yuan glanced over and saw the names of these little books.

  They are all some martial arts or explanations of martial arts secrets.

  Lin Yuan suddenly had a dizzy and bewildered illusion.

  "This is indeed a genuine martial arts secret book, fully displayed on the first floor of the entire Martial Arts Pavilion, like a sea of books, dazzling and confusing, Lin Yuan suddenly had a feeling of a rustic entering the city."

  Lin Yuan had also been to the martial skills library in Lin Family Village, but it couldn't compare to this place at all. It wasn't even one-tenth or one-hundredth of this place. Moreover, within the Martial Skills Pavilion, there were two or three levels of existence that Lin Yuan dared not imagine.

  Lin Yuan also carefully watched, although these martial skills were absolutely high-level when placed outside, but there wasn't one that suited Lin Yuan. At this time, as a half-step Pre-Heavenly Boundary, ordinary martial skills and techniques couldn't satisfy Lin Yuan's current needs.

  Lin Yuan looked around for a while and found that he hadn't found what he needed at all. Without any hesitation, he continued to walk inside.

  "Cloud-piercing Sun-breaking Sword, Sky-breaking Sword Manual, Sixteen Sword Manual, Fierce Fire Sword Technique, Primordial Chaos Shroud..."

  This time, Lin Yuan's mood had calmed down a lot. He roughly scanned the bookshelf and found that it stored martial arts secret books, which were much stronger than those outside in terms of grade. They were all higher-level martial arts techniques.

  This is already the innermost place on the first floor and also the maximum range allowed for Lin Yuan.

  "Well, it's time to choose a suitable martial arts manual for myself here."

  Lin Yuan gently let out a breath, suppressing his excitement, and walked to the brown bookshelf in front of him, pulling out the first martial arts book on top.

  "Floating Snow Cloud Step, a light and agile martial art technique. In the initial stages of practice, one's body becomes as light as a cloud, like snowflakes dancing in the air. When practiced to the extreme, one can leap across dozens of meters, with incredible speed, and appear and disappear suddenly, leaving only a faint shadow..."

  Lin Yuan shook his head, and it was still a bit off from his mental expectations. It wasn't even as good as his own Cloud Stepping technique, and Lin Yuan didn't lack lightness techniques anyway. He put it back in its original place.

  He turned around and came to another jade stone bookcase, pulled out a small box in front of him.

  Took out another one.

  "Golden Body Forging Technique, tempering the body's martial skills, suitable for disciples of the Sixth Realm and above to cultivate. Cultivating to the extreme can attain a Golden Body, deeply entering the Golden Body, immune to all poisons. Resistant to flames burning below 100 degrees or withstanding slashes from same-level opponents' weapons without leaving scars..."

  What an incredibly powerful Golden Body Technique!

  Lin Yuan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, resisting flames and sword slashes, this Golden Body Tempering Technique was truly extraordinary. When Lin Yuan first saw it, he couldn't help but feel a little moved, but after reading the introduction that followed, his heart instantly cooled down.

  The Golden Body Great Method requires being burned by flames, circulating the heart method, to reach a state of indestructibility and impurity. This is essentially an abnormal method. Lin Yuan thought for a moment, he currently has the Tai Shang Yuan Shi Jing and also cultivates the dual cultivation method of martial arts, so his need for body tempering methods isn't that great.

  Moreover, this Golden Body Great Method seems to have some aftereffects on oneself as well.

  It seems that picking out the most suitable martial art secret book in this first layer is not an easy task, it's easy to get dizzy, nearly half a time has passed, Lin Yuan still has one and a half hours left.

  Without thinking much, Lin Yuan began to enthusiastically select books according to his own requirements.

  "Raijin no kenpō...not good, a bit off"

  "Flowing Light Sword Technique... still not enough, its power is too low"

  "The Qinglian Sword Technique... is too soft"

  Lin Yuan continued to flip through them, and continuously put each book back in its place. With a clear goal in mind, his selection speed increased by many times.

  Time flies quickly.

  It's also unknown how much time had passed, but Lin Yuan finally finished reading all the innermost martial arts secret books. He also finally selected two most satisfactory secret books from these intricate and numerous secret book collections that were like a sea of smoke.

  Heaven-Defying Sword Technique

  A powerful sword technique with nine moves and nine styles, its attack power is far superior to that of the same level sword techniques, and it also has the effect of stacking might. When casting a move, the speed is extremely fast, possessing the power to break through the sky... The downside is that it requires extremely strong swordsmanship talent and comprehension to possibly cultivate this sword technique to perfection! Above that, it even introduces that if one's talent is extraordinary, they can even cultivate out the intent of the sword.

  Lin Yuan mainly took a liking to this, and it was also Lin Yuan's first time coming into contact with knowledge about sword intent. It was also the first time he had seen any information about sword intent. He didn't think that there would be such things within the Wu Zong.

  Primordial Chaos

  A defensive martial art with extremely strong power, suitable for all warriors below the Innate Boundary to cultivate. It condenses one's true yuan into a shield, protecting oneself and consuming very little true yuan.

  A few simple words, instantly moved Lin Yuan's heart. A martial artist, what is most important, true yuan, without true yuan, what can you use to fight, this mixed yuan cover as a defensive martial skill, just what Lin Yuan needs.

  These were the final two martial skills chosen by Lin Yuan.
