Lin Ming brought the three jade slips, "Basic Gun Techniques", "Basic Footwork" and "Powder Body Fist", to register with the Guardian Elder. When Lin Ming arrived, he found that several people, including Wang Yanfeng, had already registered before him, while Hong Xi sat aside, checking their techniques.
As the new headmaster of the Tiandi Hall, Hong Xi only provided general guidance and did not have a specific duty to teach disciples. However, the choice of this skill was very important, and Hong Xi came here specifically because he was afraid that the students would choose the wrong skill.
"Wang Yanfeng, are you certain about choosing these three jade slips?" asked Guardian Pavilions elder.
"Im sure," Wang Yanfeng said firmly.
"Youve chosen the Divine Sun Technique, the Swans Descent, and the Thundercloud Beheading. These three techniques are not easy to master, especially the Swans Descent, which requires true yuan to borrow force in mid-air and fly again. Its extremely difficult to reach a high level of proficiency with this lightness technique. Have you thought it through?"
"Elder, Ive thought it through." Wang Yanfeng had his own plans, he already had a family heirloom light skill "Seven Extremes Step", but this "Seven Extremes Step" was not much inferior to the "Swallows Plumage".
However, he will not give up on the "Seven Steps", which is a martial skill that accelerates in short distances. The "Hong Huo Luo Yu" emphasizes lightness and agility over long distances, so choosing it suits him best.
As for "Shen Yang Gong", the difficulty is not small either, this is because Wang Yanfengs ranking is too low, otherwise he would have chosen a more difficult and powerful "Wu Ying Gong" with better hands.
"Alright." Elder Shou Ge sighed helplessly, registering Wang Zuanfengs selection. These geniuses were all extremely ambitious, and they would inevitably choose the most powerful techniques every time. However, the more powerful a technique was, the greater its difficulty would be.
But the difficulty of practicing such a problem is never within the consideration range of geniuses, and in the eyes of geniuses, high-difficulty kung fu skills are proof of their genius.
However, they forgot that in the Seventh Xuanwu Prefecture, everyone is a genius. Since the manual says "extremely difficult to cultivate", its naturally referring to these geniuses! You may be a genius, but how much more of a genius can you be compared to others?
Behind Wang Feng are Wang Manganese and Zhang Tie, two brothers who also performed exceptionally on the ranking stone, with a martial arts technique that is not easy to accomplish.
"Are you certain in choosing these three martial skills?" The Guardian Elder asked symbolically, he also knew that once ordinary people made up their minds, they wouldnt change.
"It is decided." said Wang Mang and Zhang Tie.
"Alright, so next is... hmm, Lin Ming?"
"Yes." Lin Ming placed the three jade slips on the table, and Wang Yanfeng, Wang Mang, including Hong Xi couldnt help but pay attention to them. Lin Mings strength was evident to all, and they were eager to know which martial skill he had chosen.
Wang Yanfeng gazed at the three jade slips on the table, "This Lin Ming, ranked one hundred and twenty-six, he might choose top-level techniques like Invisible Art or Nine Yang Annihilation, my strength has already been left far behind by him, if I were to fall behind in technique as well, it would be even harder to catch up."
Due to repeated setbacks, Wang Jianfeng no longer mentions Lin Mings talent. In his view, Lin Ming has completely overcome the obstacles of his talent and is the strongest opponent he has encountered so far.
But just as Wang Yanfeng was worried, the words of Chuan Gong Lao made him stunned.
"Basic Gun Techniques", "Basic Footwork", and the incomplete "Powdered Bones Fist"... Is... is it these three sets?"
What are these three sets of kung fu? Wang Yanfeng doesnt know what "Powder Body and Shattered Bones Fist" is, but he has flipped through the two basic kung fu techniques "Basic Gun Techniques" and "Basic Footwork" when selecting them. They are absolutely the simplest and most ordinary among the lower-grade kung fu techniques. Why did Lin Ming choose this?
Does he lack confidence in himself? No, his will of martial arts is so firm, how can he be without confidence?
The elder of the Guardian Pavilion felt that he couldnt understand, this basic skill was only chosen by the disciples of the Human Pavilion, and in all these years, the elder had seen too many arrogant and distant disciples choose skills with great difficulty and power, but ultimately became mediocre. This phenomenon is not surprising, but its still unprecedented to see a young man from the Earth Pavilion ranked first, choosing the simplest skill, as if he was afraid of not being able to practice it.
And that only one set of inferior grade gong method "Powder Body Smashing Bone Fist" is still incomplete, only has reference value, and its fundamentally impossible to practice, what was Lin Ming thinking?
The instructor of the Tiande Hall, Hong Xi, was also on the side. He came here today just to point out a few things about the new soldiers selection of Gongfa. Unexpectedly, he encountered a snag at Lin Mings place. He opened his mouth and reminded him: "Lin Ming, have you thought it through?"
Lin Ming nodded and said: "Ive thought it through, I want to lay a solid foundation, so I chose Basic Fundamentals and Basic Lightness Skill."
"Alright, your foundation is solid, I wont comment on your choice of 《Basic Gun Techniques》and 《Basic Footwork》. However, this 《Powdered Body and Shattered Bones Fist》has a damage rate of 70%, a low-grade martial art that even if it were complete would require extremely high comprehension to master. And yet, youre missing 70% of it! Not to mention you, even the elders of the Seven Mysteries Martial Manor wouldnt be able to comprehend it fully. Otherwise, do you think a low-grade martial art would be placed in the outer pavilion for anyone to pick and choose?"
Lin Mingdao said: "I just want to try and understand it a bit, if I cant master it then thats okay, I just think I should be able to get some inspiration."
Get some inspiration?
Hong Xi furrowed his brow. With Lin Mings fifteen years of age and his cultivation at the peak of the second stage of the Martial Path, how could he possibly gain inspiration from a damaged, low-grade Earth rank technique that was only 30% complete? To say that he was dreaming was somewhat excessive, but it was absolutely an overestimation.
"Lin Ming, dont be overly optimistic. This Powder Body and Shattered Bones Fist is impossible to master even for a genius with exceptional talent. The opportunity to choose a martial skill in the Ancient Book Pavilion is extremely precious, and if you waste this chance, youll lose one martial skill. Although youll have another chance to choose a martial skill when you enter the top 100, losing one martial skill is still a pity!"
Lin Mingdao said: "Thank you, Instructor Hong, Ive thought it through."
"Alright, have it your way." Hong Xi shook his head. These geniuses were all so stubborn, once they made up their minds, no one could change them. Fine, let him take a loss this time. If he didnt lose, he wouldnt learn a lesson.
Thus, Lin Ming chose his Gongfa and Wugong, and his name was written on the note next to those jade slips. Later, he received three keys, which were actually a gray stone with a red symbol engraved on it.
Each key corresponds to a set of skills, and after the newborn selects the skills, the jade will be sealed by the array method on the bookshelf. Without the key to open the array method, even if you enter the library, you wont be able to see anything.
