C15 Punctured Surface
The next day, Yang Junyi ran off in the direction of the academy's library just after the day's classes had ended. He didn't notice the gazes from Zhuang Xinhui, Qiuyi, and Qiujie that were fixated on him at all times.
"Strange, why is Yang Junyi running so fast today? Is there something urgent?" Lin Leyan stroked her chin and felt that it was a bit strange. Normally, once the class ended, Yang Junyi would take his time, with neither warmth nor anger. He was not in a hurry like he was today.
"Could it be that there's a date today?" Xu Yueru guessed.
Zhuang Xinhui speechlessly rolled her eyes at her two best friends, "I say, can you two stop speaking about Yang Junyi? Could it be that you two have fallen for him? Aren't you tired of talking about Yang Junyi and that Yang Junyi all day long? "
"What!" Lin Changxia grabbed Zhuang Xinyi's arm in dissatisfaction and shook it, "We are just curious about how Yang Junyi changed so much. It feels like he's a completely different person. Aren't you curious? "
"What did it change so much? Why didn't I see it?" Zhuang Xinhui said nonchalantly.
"En, you dare to say that you really didn't see it?" Lin Leyan stared at Zhuang Xinhui and said with disdain, "Continue acting!"
"Exactly!" Xu Yueru added, "I don't know who kept peeking at Yang Junyi …"
After being mercilessly exposed by her two best friends, Zhuang Xinhui could not help but blush a little. "Hmph, didn't you say so much just for me to accompany you to follow Yang Junyi!"
They were best friends after all. They already knew what each other was thinking.
Yang Junyi, who was on his way to the library, did not know that his' ex-girlfriend 'was tailing him along with her two best friends.
Arriving at the library, Yang Junyi's footsteps did not stop. He walked straight into the area where the Light Sword manual was placed.
As the highest school of Skycloud City, the Skycloud Academy had countless books within it, but among all the books, there wasn't a single martial skill or battle skill – at least not in this library!
All they had was a variety of theoretical knowledge, biographies of famous experts, the arguments of great masters …
The reason for that was because all martial skills and battle skills and the like were incomparably precious. They were all kept somewhere in the academy, guarded by many powerful instructors. Only the instructors would choose one of these techniques and teach the students personally.
Thus, the martial skills that every student practiced were known to everyone. For example, the few sets of martial skills that Yang Junyi had practiced: Heavy Martial Skills: Double Chop. Punch skill: Straight hook fist, elbow strike. Foot Skills: Flying Feet, Chain Feet... It could be said that every student knew all sorts of martial arts.
If he were to use his combat abilities, such as the earth elemental shield defense and earth spear. Fire Element's Raging Flame Slash, Wind Element's Gale Steps, and so on … These combat skills were skills that any student would possess.
Thus, in the academy, one must not think of a martial skill that only they could learn and others could not.
You know it, everyone knows it. The only difference is whether you are proficient or not.
However, there were always exceptions.
For example, Yang Junyi had voluntarily comprehended the 'Superb Gravity' technique. Unless Yang Junyi taught it to others, Yang Junyi was the only person in the world who knew of this combat technique.
For example, although it couldn't be said that there were many students in the world who were familiar with the technique, there were no more than five students in Skycloud Academy who were familiar with it.
If Yang Junyi's Gravity Manipulation was considered an 'exclusive' battle skill, then Pangolin was a 'secret technique'!
After browsing through the bookshelves for a long time, Yang Junyi finally found the book he was looking for, Basic Sword Technique!
Although it was called a sword art, this book did not contain a single move.
It only recorded the basic knowledge of how to use the sword. For example: Chop, chop, stab, slice, lift, chop, and shake … Wait.
How to stab? You need to pay attention to those movements and how to use your strength … These points were explained in great detail and were described with a diagram. This allowed the beginner to understand them at a glance and grasp them easily.
There were many books similar to this, such as Basic Heavy Sword, Basic Fist, Basic Fist …
Although these books could not be considered a martial skill, to Yang Junyi, possessing a 'Basic Sword Technique' was far more realistic than possessing a true sword skill.
Holding the 'Basic Sword Technique' in his arms, Yang Junyi planned to borrow it home to slowly cultivate. Thus, he was in no hurry to browse through it.
With a slight turn of his feet, Yang Junyi made his way towards the location where the book was kept.
He wanted to see if he could find a way to defeat a higher cultivation realm in the theories or experiences of a master teacher.
Yang Junyi had always believed that victory or defeat was not simply determined by one's rank.
There were also many factors involved, such as intelligence, perception, reflexes, skills, and so on.
Yang Junyi believed that there was definitely a way to make up for the disadvantage brought about by the difference in rank.
"Speed — — The proof of a wind element cultivator fighting a battle above his level!"
"In terms of prediction ability, it is extremely useful in battles!"
"… …"
Ye Zichen quickly glanced through the books. These books were the crystals written by predecessors using their life experiences to describe them.
The theories recorded in the book were all precious treasures to the later generations. Although they couldn't directly increase the cultivation level, the experiences left behind by the predecessors could help the later generations to take fewer detours, unfortunately, not many people took them seriously.
"Sigh, it's a pity. These books aren't of much use to me." Shaking his head, Yang Junyi put the book back on the shelf.
"Eh? "This book is …" Yang Junyi's gaze landed on a book that was nestled close to the corner of the bookshelf. Curious, he took it out and asked, "Breaking through the face with a finger, you broke the legend of the earth elemental fortress?"
"Break the legend of the earth elemental fortress? What big words you have there! " Yang Junyi's interest was piqued. One must know that the earth element was known as the super strong defensive power of the shield fortress. Powerful earth element cultivators were simply turtles equipped with armored protective systems. Just standing still and allowing the enemy to attack them was enough to tire the enemy out. Now that someone had said that he could break through an earth elemental fortress, it undoubtedly piqued Yang Junyi's interest.
With his back against the bookshelf, Yang Junyi flipped through the pages. As the book gradually went deeper, Yang Junyi's face gradually became more focused as he continued reading.
On a bookshelf not too far away from Yang Junyi, the trio of Zhuang Xinhui's women who had just arrived were holding a book high in their hands, covering their faces as they sneaked glances at Yang Junyi.
In the huge library, a young man was reading with a book in his hands.
There was no one around him.
The scorching sun shone through the gaps between the windows and onto the youth's tranquil face, giving off the feeling of a pious saint.
It had to be said that the visual impact that the three girls received from the admiration in front of their eyes was extremely huge. For a moment, the three girls could not help but forget about the despicable act of this young man "abandoning his girlfriend and running away by himself." Instead, they were completely intoxicated by the young man's focused and devout attitude.
"Whew ~ ~"
After a long while, Yang Junyi recovered from his state of concentration. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
Not far away, Zhuang Xinhui, who was staring foolishly at Yang Junyi, hurriedly retracted his gaze and used the books to cover himself.
The book in his hands was held high, blocking his face and Yang Junyi's line of sight.
After a long while, when they sensed that Yang Junyi was unaware of their existence, the three ladies finally let out a secret sigh of relief. However, when they recalled how they had been staring at Yang Junyi earlier, a trace of shyness appeared on their faces at the same time.
"Puchi!" Xu Yueru suddenly did not understand as she covered her mouth and let out a soft moan.
Zhuang Xinhui and Lin Wan Xia thought that Xu Ruyue was laughing at her infatuated look. The shyness on their faces intensified, and their beautiful eyes couldn't help but glare at Xu Yueru as they retorted, "What are you laughing at? Weren't you also a flirt just now!"
Xu Yueru covered her mouth and laughed lightly as she shook her head, "I'm just laughing at how the three of us could see that Yang Junyi's mind was distracted to such an extent that we don't know what methods Yang Junyi used."
"Humph, who would have known that the bastard Yang Junyi would become so quiet when he was reading a book. It makes one involuntarily sink into his thoughts." As she spoke, Lin Changxia felt that her face was burning hot. She could not help but feel embarrassed for her performance just now.
"I wonder if you all have this feeling …" Xu Yueru's expression suddenly turned grave as her beautiful eyes landed on Yang Junyi, who was continuing to read. "Our aversion towards Yang Junyi is no longer as strong as it was before. Furthermore, we no longer dislike Yang Junyi!"
Zhuang Xinhui and Lin Changxia were stunned for a moment and then immediately quieted down.
"Although I have previously said that I would not leave Yang Junyi alone in the survival training, it is not impossible for me to not grumble in my heart." Zhuang Xinhui's gaze fell on Yang Junyi, and she said in a bitter and soft voice, "Rather than saying that we love each other, it's better to just say that we have some good feelings towards each other. Perhaps it's because of this reason that we can't live together. At that time, he had accepted Yang Junyi, perhaps because he was moved by Yang Junyi's unceasing pursuit, which was why he agreed. Come to think of it, we've only been together four or five days. I don't know anything about him. "
Xu Yueru and Lin Wan Xia listened to Zhuang Xinhui's monologue and hugged her tightly.
"Now that I think about it, the situation when Yang Junyi abandoned me seemed somewhat suspicious." Zhuang Xinhui stared at Yang Junyi with confusion in her eyes. It was as if there was a veil separating the two of them, preventing her from seeing the truth of the matter.
At that time, how could it be so coincidental? The moment Yang Junyi abandoned me, the instructor on the back leg just happened to appear in time to rescue me from the clutches of the demonic beast. I had been thinking about this question for the past few days and always felt that Yang Junyi did it on purpose.
After hearing Zhuang Xinhui's words, Xu Yueru and Lin Wanxia felt that this made sense.
"But that doesn't make sense." Xu Yueru shook her head and said, "Could it be that Yang Junyi chased after you for over a year just to break up your relationship with him?"
"Could it be like this?" Lin Leyan made a hypothesis and said, "We all know that Yang Junyi is an orphan and his living conditions are not wealthy. In fact, it's even more difficult. If it weren't for the academy's assistance qualifications, I'm afraid Yang Junyi would have starved to death long ago. When Yang Junyi was bitterly chasing after her heart, we all saw it in our eyes. That kind of love definitely isn't fake. Let's assume that Yang Junyi was very happy when Xin Hui accepted him and swore to give Xin Xin a bright future. I believe everyone still remembers Yang Junyi's confession, right? "
"Perhaps because of some unknown reason, Yang Junyi began to face reality. In the end, Yang Junyi believed that it was impossible for him to give his heart a beautiful future, so in order to not drag down its future, but also because he couldn't bear to say goodbye to it in person, he planned this survival event and carried the reputation of a weak man, so that Xinxiu would resent him and choose to break up with him."
"That makes sense!"
It had to be said that the three ladies had a formidable imagination ability. The truth of the matter was actually very simple. Yang Junyi's words were: Love was beautiful, but one had to be alive to enjoy it.
If that coward knew that there was a mentor nearby, he wouldn't have abandoned Zhuang Xinhui. In that case, nothing else would have happened.
Strictly speaking, it was because that coward was afraid of death and abandoned Zhuang Xinyi that he ended up being beaten to death. That was why his body was possessed by the youth from Earth.
Of course, it was precisely because the real Yang Junyi had already died that a drastic change had occurred in the eyes of Zhuang Xinhui and the other two ladies, as though they were two individuals — Yang Junyi.
At this moment, Yang Junyi was a young man who came from a 'foreign world' and had lived on Earth for 23 years.
It was precisely because of such drastic changes that the three ladies of Zhuang Xinhui's group reconsidered the 'trial' and then came up with a 'truth' that was more in line with Yang Junyi's actions!
If Yang Junyi knew that Zhuang Xinhui and the two ladies had given that coward a reasonable excuse to abandon his girlfriend, how would he feel?
