The next day, early in the morning, Linfeng and the other two walked toward the library.
Today was the day of the Throne Challenge. The top ten thrones would enter the library to choose cultivation techniques or martial arts techniques.
In Hongyun University, the library was free of charge. Other than some forbidden techniques, students could borrow cultivation techniques and martial arts techniques for free.
It was the same even for ninth-grade cultivation techniques.
In the current era, human strength was the greatest goal.
The country was eager for all martial artists to learn ninth-grade cultivation techniques.
Therefore, there were a large number of copies of every cultivation technique and martial arts technique.
The three Hero Academy and the Nine Elite Universities all had them.
The normal College of Martial Arts also had copies of the same books. The number and types of books in the library were similar. There was not much difference.
The only difference was that some cultivation techniques were made of soul engraving. These cultivation techniques were also called soul cultivation techniques.
A Soul Cultivation Technique was a Cultivation Technique that could only be inscribed by experts whose strength had reached that of a Martial King.
This kind of soul cultivation technique allowed one to directly understand the expert's martial arts experience. It was undoubtedly dozens or even hundreds of times easier to learn than paper cultivation techniques. Some special cultivation techniques could only be understood by soul engraving.
For a Martial King expert, engraving a soul cultivation technique was not an easy task. It required a lot of time and energy.
Generally speaking, if it was not for their descendants, an ordinary Martial King expert would not easily engrave a soul cultivation technique.
The essence of a soul cultivation technique was made of mental strength. Every time it was used, it would be used up. Once it was used up, the cultivation technique would be useless.
Normally, a soul cultivation technique could only be used three or four times. Therefore, it was extremely precious!
The three Hero Academy was the strongest and had the most genius students. Genius students had the highest probability of becoming a Martial King expert after graduation. Therefore, compared to other martial arts universities, the collection of soul cultivation techniques was also the largest.
"Why is it so retro?
It's not modern at all! "
When the three of them arrived at their destination, Dong Yunan said in surprise.
A tall and majestic ancient pavilion appeared in front of everyone. The vermilion pillars towered high in the air. The pillars were painted with colorful paintings, and the eaves were upturned. The ridges were green and glazed. It was a hundred meters tall and had nine floors. On the ancient plaque, the words "library" were engraved in vermilion. It gave off an ancient and simple feeling.
In front of the pavilion, there was an ornamental pond. There were colorful carps in the pond. Around the pond, there were unique artificial mountains with jagged rocks and a majestic aura.
From time to time, students came and went. When they saw Lin Feng and company, they stopped and discussed. Clearly, they recognized the three people in front of them.
"Since Red Cloud University is located in the city, it's only natural that the architecture is more retro!"
When Lin Feng and the other two arrived, Yun Lin had also just arrived. When he heard Dong Xiaomei's question, he replied with a smile.
Compared to yesterday's pale face, her complexion was much more rosy today. Clearly, she had benefited greatly from the baptism in the demonic blood pool yesterday.
"Lin Feng, you joined Star Conglomerate?"
Yun Lin looked at the youth in front of him and asked curiously.
In the early hours of the morning, the Juxing Club posted a post on the Warrior Forum. Although it was purposely suspenseful and disgusting, it had indeed caused a heated discussion in the country.
Everyone was guessing who the number one rookie was.
Yun Lin wasn't the only one curious. Ye Ming and the others who weren't far away also had a slight change in expression. Their voices were much softer.
Many of them would enter the Professional Alliance in the future. Lin Feng was undoubtedly one of their strongest opponents in the Glory of Glory.
"Do you think I'm the number one?"
Looking at the charming girl in front of him, Lin Feng asked with a smile.
He was actually speechless about Star's gimmick.
Lin Feng didn't care about it, but he was afraid that Star wouldn't be able to clean it up.
A minute's silence for Star.
Not only that, Zhang Ling from Star called early in the morning to inform Lin Feng to hold a press conference at the Hyde Hotel tomorrow afternoon to officially announce his joining!
He would enter the Demon Spirit World tomorrow morning to refine the demon spirit. A press conference would be held tomorrow afternoon …
Another minute's silence for Star.
"Yes, of course you have the qualifications. Top scorer of the College Entrance Examination, number one Sovereign, and you've entered Rank-2. Among the freshmen, you're the only one. If you're not, then who is?" Yun Lin said matter-of-factly.
Lin Feng smiled and didn't comment.
Seeing that Lin Feng didn't want to say more, Yunkai and Dong Yunan were very calm, Yun Lin already had an answer in his heart.
"For Ya Ge?
Is he really that infatuated? "Yun Lin thought to himself.
Lin Feng was so ruthless to himself during the Sovereign Challenge. He didn't have any tender feelings for the fairer sex. He didn't look like an infatuated person!
At the entrance of the library, Lin Feng and the other ten people waited quietly.
The Soul Cultivation Method was hidden on the ninth floor.
The ninth floor was the forbidden area of the library. Without a guide, they couldn't go up at all.
"The ten of you are here. Follow me."
Just as they were waiting quietly, a familiar figure appeared in front of them.
"Dean Bu!"
Lin Feng and the rest greeted him respectfully.
Bu Zheng's gaze paused slightly on Lin Feng. The day before yesterday and yesterday, this young man in front of him had left a deep impression on him.
Retracting his gaze, Bu Zheng walked into the library. Lin Feng and the other ten people followed closely behind.
On the first floor of the library, there were cultivation methods and martial arts techniques that were below Rank-3. At this time, many students were flipping through the cultivation methods on paper and discussing them.
If their body attributes were the same, many people would choose cultivation methods and martial arts techniques the same. Hence, they could exchange their experiences.
Some of them even practiced in the remote practice area at the side.
"The top ten freshmen are here!"
"I'm so envious. They can enter the ninth floor and learn the Soul Cultivation Method!"
The appearance of the ten people led by Bu Zheng made many students envious.
Reading the Soul Cultivation Method once was worth hundreds of millions. Even if you had money, you might not be able to buy it.
Only the top ten of the Sovereign Challenge had this kind of treatment.
There were close to seventeen thousand freshmen. Only ten of them had this treatment. The probability was more than one in a thousand.
Under various envious and longing gazes, everyone followed the circular staircase and ascended to the ninth floor step by step.
Just as they set foot on the ninth floor, Lin Feng's expression changed slightly. At this time, time and space seemed to have stopped. A strange fluctuation made the ninth floor seem exceptionally quiet.
"Little Bu, we haven't seen each other for a year."
A ghost-like voice rang out, startling everyone. They hurriedly looked around, but there was no one there.
Just as everyone was still searching, a mysterious person shrouded in a black robe appeared in front of everyone out of thin air.
"Ah …"
Dong Yunan was shocked. The figure's appearance was too strange. It was silent and covered in a black robe. His appearance could not be seen clearly.
"This year's little fellow!"
The mysterious person's gaze swept across everyone. Finally, it stopped on Lin Feng and Yunkai. His voice was old and hoarse. "Atavistic demonization. You're really different. What an enviable little fellow. There's even a Rank-2 freshman. This year's little fellow is very interesting!"
Yunkai and Lin Feng felt cold all over. Under the gaze of the pair of eyes hidden in the black robe, the two of them seemed to have lost the cover of their clothes. There were no secrets to speak of.
Bu Zheng obviously did not have a good impression of the person in front of him. He only glanced at him briefly and then shifted his gaze. He did not even look at him. He had no intention of catching up. His footsteps did not stop. He directly passed by the mysterious person. Seeing this, everyone quickly followed.
"Hehe, you can be considered half my disciple. Why don't you know how to respect your teacher?"
The mysterious person chuckled. His voice reached the ears of Lin Feng and the rest.
Disciple?
Lin Feng was slightly stunned. To be able to become the teacher of the Dean of the College of Martial Arts, how strong must he be?
Looking at the two of them, it doesn't seem like they are master and disciple.
Bu Zheng explained, "That's the Pavilion Guardian. He has been around since the founding of Hongyun University. His knowledge is very profound. Not only cultivation techniques and martial techniques, but he also has a deep understanding of demon spirits' innate skills and evolution."
"In Hongyun University, there are many people who practice cultivation techniques that he has analyzed and improved. I am also one of them!"
A Master!
Everyone was shocked. They never thought that the mysterious person would be a Master.
Even if he has an achievement in one field, he can be called a Master, not to mention three fields.
Especially since Fighter and Demon Spiritualist are two different fields.
Very few people would study both fields at the same time.
So to say that he's half a disciple isn't too much. However, why isn't the relationship between the two of them friendly?
They didn't even greet each other.
"Is it an innate skill?"
Lin Feng was curious about how the mysterious person appeared out of thin air.
A martial technique shouldn't be able to achieve such an effect. It should be a demon spirit's skill.
"He's from a different race."
Bu Zheng continued.
Different race?
Lin Feng and the rest were stunned for a moment before they came to an understanding.
It was no wonder that Bu Zheng did not like such a respectable master.
It's just that humans and the different races are mortal enemies. If they were to meet, they would meet on the battlefield.
Why would a different race appear in Hongyun University?
"Dean Bu, why would a different race appear in the Library Pavilion?"
Dong Yunan couldn't hide the curiosity on his face as he asked.
"Different races also have traitors. Just like how humans have an organization like the 'New World'."
Bu Zheng patiently explained, "The body structure of the different races is different from ours. However, the difference isn't too big. Therefore, a portion of their cultivation techniques and martial techniques can be modified and improved for us to practice."
Lin Feng knew that the Body Refining Thirty-six Forms was actually modified from a large amount of cultivation techniques of the different races.
"The task of the guardian is to analyze and improve the cultivation techniques of the different races that we have obtained in the different worlds, so that humans can practice them."
"Not only cultivation techniques and martial techniques, but also array techniques, alchemy techniques, refining techniques, etc …"
As they walked, Bu Zheng explained.
"How can the guardian be so obedient?" Yun Lin was a little doubtful.
Bu Zheng said, "Living an ignoble existence. Naturally, there will be an exchange for betrayal. As long as he works in Hongyun University for a hundred years, he can return to his hometown!
After calculating, there will only be four years left. "
Hometown!
Hearing this, Lin Feng and the rest had a complicated expression.
"Are we really letting him go?"
Dong Yunan asked curiously.
It was obvious that a cultivation technique master like him was of great significance to humans and was priceless.
Moreover, it had been almost a hundred years. This person was probably familiar with the cultivation techniques and martial techniques of humans. Wasn't this letting the tiger return to the mountain?
"Yes, definitely."
Bu Zheng nodded and said with certainty, "These different races are only restricted in their freedom, but it doesn't mean that they can't obtain news from the outside world. Just like how he knows about the Ancestral Demon Transformation. Although there is some control, the different races will still secretly contact each other. It's fine if we don't make a promise, but since we have made a promise, we have to fulfill it. These different races are so obedient because they have hope in their hearts."
Dong Yunan nodded.
As soon as Bu Zheng finished speaking, the group appeared in front of an ancient bronze door.
The bronze door was three meters tall and two meters wide. It didn't look any different, but as a glimmer of light flickered, a lake seemed to appear in front of the bronze door. The lake's surface rippled like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water.
How extravagant!
Lin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly as he sighed in his heart.
The three Hero Academy indeed had a deep foundation.
The space barrier that appeared in front of them was proof of their foundation!
This was the space power that only Martial Emperors had the right to control.
Bu Zheng's hands quickly changed seals. The space trembled slightly. The lake in front of them seemed to distort as it slowly cracked open.
"You must know how precious soul cultivation techniques are. Don't look around and miss this opportunity."
Bu Zheng changed his seals. His face was slightly pale. It was obvious that it wasn't easy for him to open the space barrier.
"Come in, within ten seconds."
Following Bu Zheng's low command, the bronze door opened. Yun Lin was the first to pass through the space crack. Lin Feng and the other two followed closely behind. Soon, the group disappeared. At the same time, the bronze door gradually closed.
"That Lin Feng is interesting."
Just as the group disappeared, the mysterious man appeared beside Bu Zheng out of thin air.
Bu Zheng turned around and said indifferently, "Don't forget your identity. Don't have any other thoughts."
The black-robed man didn't mind Bu Zheng's warning. "I've worked hard for ninety-six years. I can return home in four years. I don't want to waste all my previous efforts."
"I just feel that he's a little familiar. He cultivates a cultivation technique of the Mutated Tribe and its level is quite high. It should be a ninth-grade cultivation technique. Otherwise, it wouldn't give me such a feeling."
Bu Zheng's eyes flickered, but he didn't reply. He wasn't sure about the cultivation technique that Lin Feng cultivated.
"How do the geniuses of the human race compare to the Mutated Tribe?"
The black-robed man was silent for a while before he chuckled.
"Only a few people among the Mutated Tribe can match his talent in martial arts. Whether he's invincible among his peers will depend on tomorrow …"
Tomorrow was the day that Lin Feng would enter the Monster Spirit World.
Bu Zheng looked at the closed bronze door with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Invincible among his peers?
The value of a genius invincible among his peers was a hundred times higher than a ninth-grade trash like him!
Was it possible for Lin Feng?
