Chapter 33: Human-grade Secret Recipe

  Chapter Thirty-Three: Human Grade Secret Recipe

  Xia Liu, Xia Ming, and Xia Chunye were three of the most outstanding young men in the Xia family. At this time, they were all in the Xia family's scripture pavilion. Since the elder meeting agreed to let them freely enter and exit the pavilion to study, the three of them had almost moved into the pavilion, forgetting sleep and meals.

  Xia Yan and Xia Zixin entered the study, and the three people saw them, naturally busily welcoming them warmly, especially to Xia Yan, with great respect. Xia Yan's performance at the selection of excellent young men in the Xia family that day was truly shocking to everyone from the bottom of their hearts, this surprise lasted for many days, now still every moment can be seen and heard discussing Xia Yan among the Xia family children.

  After the courtesy, the five young people went their separate ways to find the martial arts secret books that interested them.

  In the Xia family's Jing Pavilion, although there were many martial skill books, only a dozen or so could be considered top-notch. Among them, nine were considered high-level martial skills that didn't enter the mainstream, while three were human-grade secret manuals that entered the mainstream. As for heavenly-grade secret manuals, not a single one existed, and even the patriarch Xia Fei Long had only cultivated the human-grade secret manual "Hundred Transformations Divine Sword"!

  However, any human-grade secret book taken out can be sold for a sky-high price. Even the lowest-level human-grade secret book among the ordinary secret books is extremely rare.

  Xia Zixin's mouth twitched, and she smiled as she looked at Xia Yan before walking lightly towards the place where the human-level secret manuals were stored. The three human-level secret manuals were placed in a delicate purple small pavilion, with red, yellow, and blue covers respectively, on which dragons and phoenixes danced and wrote the names of the secret manuals.

  "Magic Sword of a Hundred Changes", "Thunderclap Palm", "Heavenly Feather Divine Gun"!

  Xia Yan smiled lightly at Xia Zixing, casually flipping through the nearest few secret books. The total number of secret books stored in the Xia family's pavilion was probably in the hundreds, but most were relatively low-level and unrefined, not even comparable to the "Sun and Moon Unmatched Swords".

  That day in the square, Xia Yan remembered the various martial skills practiced by the Xia family disciples. Less than half of them had been refined and merged into the Ling Luo Sword. Now, forcibly absorbing these secret books would not be beneficial to Xia Yan, but might instead affect his progress in refining the Ling Luo Sword.

  If it weren't for the medicinal concoction he had soaked in last night, Xia Yan's progress in merging his martial skills would probably have taken at least another week to reach its current level. After soaking in the medicine, however, his merged martial skills improved by three or four days' worth of progress in just one short night.

  On the first day Xia Liu and three others entered the Jing Ge, they rushed to the human-level secret book. The three of them each took out a human-level secret book to read, but in the end, they all gave up in frustration. Because the martial skills on the human-level secret book were completely incomprehensible to them. Rather than wasting their time for nothing, it was better to take a look at some other secret books. Although they didn't necessarily have to cultivate these secret books, understanding more martial skills would be greatly beneficial to their future strength gains.

  So, when Xia Yan and Xia Zixin just entered the pavilion, they saw that Xia Liu and the others were not surrounding the purple small pavilion where the human-level secret book was stored. It's not that they didn't want to watch and learn from the human-level secret book, but it's simply that they couldn't understand a single bit! No wonder there is a law on the Dragon Continent, which is that one must open up all 108 meridians in the body before they can study human-level secret books.

  Seeing Xia Zixing, dressed in a white skirt, take out the human-grade secret book, Xia Liu and the others exchanged a look with their eyes, slightly twitched at the corner of their mouths, and didn't say much. They all thought to themselves: Although you are the daughter of the clan leader, I'm afraid you can't understand the human-grade secret book either? After a while, you'll have no choice but to put the human-grade secret book back with a sigh.

  Xia Yan turned around in a circle, constantly picking up one book after another to flip through the secret books, and then putting them down again. Time passed quickly, and soon Xia Yan had already been waiting in the scripture pavilion for three hours.

  When Xia Yan watched the secret book, his brain automatically practiced the martial skills on the secret book. Although he couldn't integrate these skills yet, Xia Yan also had a thorough understanding of these martial skills he had seen. Even if he only displayed these skills, it was enough to exert the full power of this skill.

  Xia Liu, Xia Ming, and Xia Chunye saw Xia Yan flipping through the secret book at such a fast speed, they all furrowed their brows, somewhat unable to understand. Viewing the secret book like this, what progress could be made? Xia Yan's speed of flipping through the secret book was simply too fast!

  They have no idea about Xia Yan's incredible abilities!

  "How's it going?" Xia Yan walked lightly to the side of the purple pavilion and asked Xia Zixing, who was holding a human-level secret book called "Hundred Changes Divine Sword", which was exactly the martial skill cultivated by the patriarch Xia Feilong.

  Xia Zixin raised his head upon hearing this, a flash of light flickering in his eyes, before he let out a sigh and shook his head, saying somewhat disappointedly: "As expected, human-grade secret manuals are indeed profound and intricate; I'm still unable to cultivate human-grade secret manuals at present."

  In fact, Xia Zixing can't cultivate yet, but he has already understood some of it, which is quite rare.

  "Don't worry, you'll be able to cultivate soon!"

  As he spoke, Xia Yan also casually picked up a human-level secret book. The cover of this secret book was blue and was called "Tian Yu Shen Qiang". His fingers slid over the pages, and soon, Xia Yan became deeply immersed in it. The martial skills recorded in this secret book were indeed not comparable to those inferior ones.

  This is just the lowest-level human-class secret book in the entry flow, but the contents of martial arts and techniques contained within are already dazzling. Compared to "Sun and Moon Unparalleled Sword", this "Tianyu Divine Gun" is ten times more complicated, and its power is also ten times greater. If refined and merged into the Ling Luo sword, what kind of level would the power of the Ling Luo sword be enhanced to?

  Xia Yan's eyes flashed with a fierce light!

  "My current Ling Luo Sword, if I were to exert my full strength and unleash the three Ling Luo Swords, would be enough to rival an ordinary human-grade secret art. If I were to further infuse some human-grade secret arts into it, I'm afraid my Ling Luo Sword would be able to rival an ordinary heavenly-grade secret art. However, wanting to achieve complete refinement and fusion isn't that easy."

  Refined fusion, although there is Ling Luo's mental method, it requires extremely strong spiritual support!

  Xia Yan's eyes sparkled, his mind fully focused on the "Tian Yu Shen Gun" secret manual. In his mind, he began to frantically practice the martial arts techniques of the "Tian Yu Shen Gun".

  Xia Zi's beautiful eyebrows slightly moved, her small mouth opened, and she looked at Xia Yan with a surprised expression, extremely puzzled in her heart. She almost couldn't help but ask Xia Yan directly if he could understand it.

  "I can understand 'Bai Bian Shen Jian' because my father specially explained it to me, but if I were to read 'Tian Yu Shen Qiang', I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to comprehend the martial skills at all. But Xia Yan, how could he possibly understand human-level martial skills?" Xia Zi Xin's chest was heaving violently, her beautiful eyes staring at Xia Yan in astonishment.

  "This is impossible, a human-grade secret recipe, ten times more difficult than the 'Luoying Po Yu Jian'. Xia Yan hasn't even opened up all 108 meridians of martial arts, how can he understand this human-grade secret recipe? But now, his performance clearly shows that he's deeply engrossed. Is he intentionally pretending to understand it?" Xia Zixing gently shook her head, took a deep breath, and furrowed her eyebrows together.

  Not far away, Xia Liu and the other two also saw Xia Yan and Xia Zixing standing beside a purple pavilion, with both of them holding a human-grade secret book in their hands.

  "Xia Liang Ge, look at Xia Yan, he seems to be completely absorbed in it. The thing in his hand is the 'Tian Yu Shen Qiang', a human-level secret book. When I looked at it yesterday, it was like looking at heavenly scripture, I didn't understand a single bit. But Xia Yan, seems to be able to understand it." 12-year-old Xia Ming said with wide eyes, incredulous.

  Xia Liang was also extremely shocked. On that day, he was defeated by Xia Yan's sword on the Jingwu Plaza, and Xia Yan's swordsmanship had been unforgettable to him ever since. Now, seeing Xia Yan watching a human-level secret book, his heart felt even more unbearable.

  Xia Chunye blinked her eyes and smiled, saying: "I think Xia Yan may not really understand the human-level secret book. He might be pretending to make us think he can understand it. Xia Zixing is reading 'Hundred Changes Divine Sword', don't forget that our Clan Master cultivates the 'Hundred Changes Divine Sword' martial skill. Since Xia Zixing can understand 'Hundred Changes Divine Sword', it must be because Clan Master personally explained it to him, but as for Xia Yan, who explained 'Tianyu Divine Gun' to him?"

  When Xia Chunye said this, Xia Liu and Xia Ming both nodded in agreement, also thinking that it was a bit impossible for Xia Yan to understand the human-grade secret manual. After all, even if Xia Yan was a genius and extremely talented, as excellent sons of the Xia family, they wouldn't be so much worse than Xia Yan, right?
