Jian Chen himself, he never knew what commotion was going on outside, but with the arrogance of the disciple just now, Jian Chen had already guessed the outcome, despite not really knowing how it would happen.
After entering the Secret Hall and only having 15 minutes, Jian Chen ignored the things around him, and quickly selected several martial techniques that he wanted.
"Since I already have the Unity of Heart and Spirit Formula, I don't need to think about Cultivation Techniques anymore, what I need now is Martial Arts Techniques."
Cultivation techniques and Martial techniques, if Jian Chen remembered again, they were divided into four categories, namely Warrior, Human, Earth, and Heaven Level. Each level is also divided into three; low, middle, and top.
"This room has three floors, and a disciple with a low level of Qi Training like me can only choose at the bottom. Although there are many Techniques here, these are all definitely the lowest Warrior level. Well... Let's take a look around first, hopefully we can find something good."
Jian Chen began to explore every shelf around the room, and since he was only allowed to take three techniques, he only took the two that he felt were the most urgent at the moment. It is a technique of attack, and defense.
In his heart, he had already decided to use an attack technique using a sword, not because of anything, but because he thought that pose was the coolest thing.
Remembering that one time he stood while holding a sword in his hand, and used a brave posture to fight with everyone, how amazing that was.
However, during more than ten minutes of searching around, Jian Chen had not found a suitable attack Technique. He only obtained one defense technique, which was actually more accurately called an escape technique. Because it was a middle stage Warrior level Wind Footsteps Technique.
Jian Chen chose that technique over the other more powerful ones not because it was at the mid stage Warrior level, but it was because of its flexibility.
Wind Footsteps has several advantages and disadvantages.
The downside is that it has no defensive effect at all. Another drawback is that this technique uses aura continuously from its use
The advantage is speed. It is said, if one can master it to the final level, the user can walk on air, even though it is only a few meters away from the ground. nevertheless, Jian Chen really liked him. Because apart from being able to be used for running, it can also be used as a fighting strategy.
When time was almost up, and Jian Chen had almost given up on searching for Sword attack techniques, he saw a book on the bottom shelf, and felt interested.
Because there was only one book on the shelf, it looked conspicuous, but judging from the amount of dust covering it, it seemed that no one had taken the technique for a long time.
Dusting off the cover, Jian Chen smiled as he read the words “Cold Wind Sword” and the introduction of “Extremely fast, undetectable and wind-fast Sword Moves”.
However, when he opened it and saw that part of the page was missing, Jian Chen hesitated a little. Because the martial arts techniques in this book only had three levels and there were several pages missing at the back, meaning he couldn't learn these techniques completely.
If you can't learn Martial Techniques in full, it's the same as using a sword with only half your body, it's a waste.
Only, when he found out that this Martial Technique did not belong to the warrior or human category, and even without any category records, Jian Chen was certain that this Martial Technique was definitely a high level technique. Moreover, he felt that this technique was very suitable for him.
Finally, after a long time of thinking and because the fifteen minutes were almost up, Jian Chen decided to choose these two techniques instead of having to look for others.
After coming out, the two techniques that Jian Chen had taken had to be given to the old man guarding at the outer door to take note of, and while examining the two Techniques that Jian Chen had taken, the old man suddenly glanced at him and asked, “Are you serious? want to learn these two techniques?"
Jian Chen nodded lightly in response.
"I ask you once again, are you serious about learning both?"
Hearing the same question a second time, Jian Chen's heart stirred slightly to ask, “Elder, is there something wrong with those two techniques?”
"No, but...." the old man hesitated to answer.
Seeing that doubt, Jian Chen grew even more curious and asked again, “Respected Elder, disciple Jian Chen is a person who does not know the heights of heaven and earth. If possible, this disciple would like to ask Elder for advice.”
Jian Chen's polite words made the old man smile slightly, and explained, "Before that, it's better for you to call me Elder Ming."
"Disciple is honored to know Elder Ming's name."
"Hehehe... Young man, you are very interesting."
Elder Ming seemed to like Jian Chen's attitude, and smilingly showed the two books to Jian Chen.
“Young man, this Wind Footsteps Technique is a middle stage Warrior technique, which can only be learned by people with fourth to ninth Qi training. With the cultivation level you have now, are you sure you can learn it?"
Even if it wasn't explained by Elder Ming, Jian Chen had known about it since the beginning of taking the Technique, but he was certain in his heart, and nodded seriously.
"Disciple is sure, because difficult things will definitely produce better things."
If it wasn't Jian Chen who gave him such an answer, Elder Ming would definitely say that the young man was a person who did not know the heights of the heavens. But, when Jian Chen answered, Elder Ming saw seriousness, and a strong determination to be stronger from his eyes. Whatever the risk, this young man never seems to hesitate.
This courage and determination made Elder Ming agree in his heart, but he didn't say anything, and displayed the second Technique. "And secondly, this is the most difficult technique to master, even for someone with Ling Qi's cultivation level."
"This Cold Wind Sword Technique is also not an ordinary Warrior level. I can't explain more. I'll just say that in all the years this Sect has existed until now, there have only been two people who were able to learn itIf I were you, I would choose another technique and look for something else."
"Well, don't worry, you can choose the Technique you want with unlimited time." After finishing explaining, Elder Ming smiled slightly, and looked at Jian Chen's face with clear teasing between his eyes.
Unfortunately, after hearing the explanation and story, Elder Ming did not see the slightest hesitation in Jian Chen's eyes, but only a growing determination to immediately learn this Technique.
"Disciple is very grateful for Elder Ming's advice and kindness, but since someone has succeeded, no matter how difficult it is, it is definitely not impossible. Who knows if that third person is in front of Elder now?"
Hearing that, Elder Ming's eyes narrowed slightly with a hint of surprise for some time. He fixedly stared at Jian Chen for some time before saying again, “Young man, it’s not that I’m looking down on you, but there are already over a hundred more geniuses in the Sect who arrogantly tried to learn this Technique, but in the end… you know ?"
Jian Chen was still smiling, and politely explained, "True genius is not measured by how well or quickly you can learn a difficult technique. But, true genius is how hard you try to learn it even though it is impossiblenever give up and always try, isn't that right, Elder?"
"Ha ha ha..."
Jian Chen's words made Elder Ming both surprised and laugh, only he said no more, and passed the two Techniques to Jian Chen.
"Your time is 30 days. Whether you can learn it or not, when the time comes, you must return it immediately.”
Jian Chen nodded in understanding, and after taking the book and saying thank you, he immediately left.
As Jian Chen walked away, Elder Ming always looked at him from behind silently. It was only when Jian Chen's image disappeared that the old man recalled Jian Chen's words several times.
"Genius... a true genius is someone who never gives up and always tries to keep improving... Hehehe... Interesting."
