C24 Selection of combat skills

The first thing that came into his eyes was a wooden shelf with all kinds of Secret Scriptures on cultivation methods on it. He estimated that there were at least a hundred of them.

Looking at Ye Yang's shocked expression, Li Chengfeng patted his shoulder and laughed, "All of them are Secret Scriptures on cultivation methods. You can choose some suitable ones. Take your time to choose. I'll wait for you outside, and then I'll bring you to the weapons room to choose a suitable weapon."

After saying that, Li Chengfeng turned around and walked out of the secret room, leaving Ye Yang with a shock look.

Ye Yang forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart. In this world, the Secret Scriptures on cultivation methods were exceptionally precious.

Most of them were controlled by some big powers, while common families had extremely few cultivation methods. Even the Ye Family that had been around for hundreds of years, also only had dozens of Secret Scriptures on cultivation methods, and most of them were Inferior cultivation methods.

There were only seven Profound-Ranked cultivation methods. A superior Profound-Ranked Lion Tiger Art was what Ye Yang's father cultivated, and the rest were two Intermediate ones and four Inferior ones.

However, the collection of Ye Family was totally outshone by that of Li Chengfeng. Half of the hundreds of Secret Scriptures here were all at the Profound Rank, and there were even a dozen of Profound-Ranked cultivation methods were at the superior level.

This made Ye Yang really excited. Apart from his strong body, Ye Yang only knew a little about the Inferior Yellow Ranked Stone-Breaking Fist.

When he had initially heard Ye Lingtian allowed him to freely enter the Battle Skills Pavilion of Ye Family, he had been excited for a long time. Right now, what he lacked the most was battle skills. The stone-breaking fist helped him defeat Lu Qingfeng, and this experience let he fully know the power of battle skills.

Killing Lu Qingfeng was too much of a trick, but to have a rookie at the Spirit Condensation stage kill a martial cultivator at the warrior level, especially a high-level warrior at the Eight Empyrean was still quite shocking.

From then on, Ye Yang had a greater desire for the battle skills. Now he saw that much battle skills for him to choose from, as if a beggar who had starved for three days was suddenly given a five-star meal and, he did not know where to start from.

"The superior Yellow-Ranked Ice Crystal Fist"

"The inferior Profound-Ranked Escalating Ox Power."

"The intermediate Profound-Ranked Tyrant Knife."

Holding one Secret Scripture after another, Ye Yang's heart became excited. He loved everyone he took, and wished that he could take all the battle skills s away.

Yet it was impossible. Not to mention that Li Chengfeng wasn't willing to let him take all of them away, even if Li Chengfeng was willing to give all of them to Ye Yang, Ye Yang still wouldn't be able to learn all of them.

This was because every cultivation method had its own special characteristics, so not everyone was suitable to learn it.

Take the Ice Crystal Fist as an example, only the martial cultivator of water attribute Genuine Qi could cultivate it. If a fire attribute martial cultivator cultivate it, it would probably not take long before they either went berserk or their tendons were crippled.

Ye Yang forcefully suppressed the restlessness in his heart and took a deep breath. After a while, he calmed himself down and slowly continued to search for the battle skills that suited him.

However, what Ye Yang did not know was that, when he calmed down, at a spot outside the secret room that Ye Yang could not see, the corner of Li Chengfeng's mouth formed a faint smile and, his eyes flashed with praise.

Soon, duration of burning out a joss-stick had passed, a Secret Scripture’s name entered Ye Yang's eyes. That is, Gale Steps.

"Superior Yellow-Ranked battle skills, Gale Steps: Flash like a ghost and move like a gale. Transform its body and disappear without a trace."

Reading the introduction, Ye Yang knew that this was a Secret Scripture that could increase the speed of a martial cultivator. This was a very important skill, because it could greatly increase one’s survival rate.

Ye Yang kept the Secret Scripture and continued to look for another suitable one.

Ye Yang also saw many body refinement Secret Scriptures, but he just skipped them. His body was strong and, strength was immense, so if he pursued body refinement, he would definitely have a huge potential. However, the best Secret Scriptures on body refinement here were only at the intermediate stage of the Profound Rank.

Ye Yang actually had an Earth-Ranked cultivation method Dragon-elephant Dark Golden Body. It was a superior Earth-Ranked cultivation method. If he took it out, it would definitely cause those experts of Emperor Level to go crazy for it.

Compared to the Dragon-elephant Dark Golden Body, the body refinement cultivation methods here were just trash without any comparability at all.

Now, Ye Yang was at the Ninth Empyrean of Spirit Condensation. As his cultivation increased, the strength of his body also received a huge leap. Moreover, Ye Yang had been nourishing his body these days, and he also ate a lot of bear paws, so he obviously felt that he was stronger and stronger day by day.

Although he did not take the test, he believed that his strength should have reached three thousand kilograms. He reckoned that he could barely cultivate the Dragon-elephant Dark Golden Body. As soon as he thought of being able to cultivate the superior Earth-Ranked cultivation methods, Ye Yang would be uncontrollably excited.

Continuing to select for a while, Ye Yang was dazzled by the sight of many Secret Scriptures, but he was still unable to find a suitable one.

Two hours later, Ye Yang let out a sigh and walked out of the secret room. Li Chengfeng was a little surprised, “You are so quickly!”

"Yes, Uncle Li. I chose two of them." Ye Yang spread open his hands and two Secret Scriptures appeared.

"Superior Yellow-Ranked battle skill: Gale Steps"

"Superior Yellow-Ranked battle skill: Heart Locking Palm."

“You only chose these two Yellow-Ranked Battle Skills, and no Profoundness? Are you just shy to choose?” Li Chengfeng was a little surprised.

"Hehe, that's not the case. Why would I be courteous to Uncle Li? It's just that there aren't many cultivation methods suitable for me, because I haven't broken through to the martial cultivator yet, thus I don't know my own Genuine Qi's attributes and can't choose a Secret Scripture that matches my own." Ye Yang explained.

“Ha-ha, Ye Yang is Ye Yang. Very good! Originally, letting you choose Secret Scriptures was to test your personality, but I didn't think that you won’t be tempted by the outside world, but stick to your conscience.” Li Chengfeng laughed happily.

If any martial cultivator saw so many Secret Scriptures in one go, it would be really difficult for him to maintain his conscience.

Not to mention that letting a fledgling brat like Ye Yang face such a huge temptation. It was normal for greed to arise in his heart.

However, he never thought that Ye Yang would be able to calm down after a short period of time, even though he was a little excited when just entered. Even Li Chengfeng secretly praised him for his calmness.

Now, Ye Yang was able to resist the allure of superior cultivation methods and had only selected two suitable Yellow-Ranked battle skills. This forced Li Chengfeng to have a whole new level of respect for Ye Yang.

"You flatter me Uncle Li. In fact, I am not as good as you say. I am only about ten times better than what you imagined," Ye Yang said shyly.

Ye Yang did not have the slightest bit of reverence towards Li Chengfeng. Ever since Ye Yang started practicing the Deicide Tactic, he had an astonishing ability to discern human nature. He could feel that Li Chengfeng's love and care for him was from the bottom of his heart.

“You brat, it's rare for you to be so modest.” Li Chengfeng thought that Ye Yang was still being modest, but he realized later on that this brat didn't have the slightest intention to be modest at all.

What kind of person was Li Chengfeng? Even a few experts of King Level would act respectfully in front of him, and those below the general level would not even dare to breathe loudly when they saw him.

However, the young man in front of him was glib toward him. This was the first time in many years that someone had dared to joke around with him.

Although he was cursing at the brat, he didn't get angry at all. Instead, he felt faint warmth. This meant that the brat had truly treated him as his uncle. He hadn't felt this kind of warmth for many years.

He said as he glared at Ye Yang, “No wonder your father always pats your head. You are too naughty!”

"How could I? I am an honest, trustworthy, and handsome young man, and I am the only one in this world. The reason why my father patted my head was for my own good. I am still young right now, and my brain is not fully developed yet. He is helping me expand my meridians to promote my development. It definitely isn't what you think it is," Ye Yang laughed.

Li Chengfeng sighed, and looked at Ye Yang with a complicated gaze, "I feel a little regretful that I recommended you to go to Tianwu Academy. I can almost see the chaotic scene in it."

"No, it is you recommended me. I will definitely win honor for you and definitely spare no pains to be a good student!" Yet he thought to himself, I will try my best to do it, but whether I can get good grades is not something I can decide.

Li Chengfeng did not have the slightest confidence in Ye Yang's words. He led Ye Yang and walked outside, saying as he walked, “Previously, I only felt that you were decisive, ruthless, and wise. But today I find that you are…brazen.”

"Can I take this as a compliment?" Ye Yang said, with a little depression.

"It doesn't matter. With your personality, even if you wander around outside, you won't be too suffered. That's good. However, our world is vast and boundless, in which our Tianwu Empire is but a drop in the ocean. We should be careful in everything we do." Li Chengfeng said.

Seeing how serious Li Chengfeng was, Ye Yang earnestly said, "Uncle Li has taught me the truth. My life is my own. I will definitely cherish it greatly, and will not casually take my life at risks."

Ye Yang received his instruction seriously without a slightest bit of frivolousness. Seeing this, Li Chengfeng nodded his head and said, "Very good. Remember this: Only by living can you protect your things."

That day at the Ye Family's Plaza, when Ye Yang was facing the grey-robed senior’s attack, he had given up escape, but to strive for loss on both side. All of these were presented in front of Li Chengfeng.

He more or less understood Ye Yang's thoughts. Although Ye Yang looked weak and he didn’t show the slightest bit of arrogance. Yet his arrogance was carved into his bones, and it was just that most people could not see it.

So when he gave Ye Yang directions and saw that Ye Yang was also happy to accept it, he did not continue with the topic. After all, talking to an intelligent person, there was no need to be so clear.

"Alright, come with me to pick a suitable weapon. Although you can't choose too many cultivation methods right now, there aren't many obstacles when you choose a weapon." Li Chengfeng waved his hand and a wall opened up, revealing another secret room.
