C16 The Martial Skill Pavilion
Ao Lingchen's ignoring caused Ximen Guang to feel a strong killing intent in his heart. If it wasn't for the fact that he was worried that his actions here would cause dissatisfaction among the others, he definitely wouldn't let the former stand still.
The nine layers of stairs shone brightly. After the glaring light slowly dissipated, the light barrier that was originally wrapped around the Heavenly Martial Ladder dissipated.
"It's activated, go!"
Almost at the same moment the light shield dissipated, the crowd below let out excited cries. Countless warriors rushed towards the stairs.
At the same time, the martial master students leaped up like birds and landed on the third floor, avoiding the crowd.
Ximen Guang and Qiu Muxue stared coldly at Ao Lingchen before jumping onto the third floor as well. The most important thing right now was to use the Heavenly Martial Ladder to refine and improve. There were plenty of opportunities to teach Ao Lingchen a lesson!
There was a reason why these martial masters had jumped to the third floor. With the strength of most martial masters, even under the pressure of the Heavenly Martial Ladder, they could only jump to the third level. If they tried to jump to the fourth floor, they would probably not be able to withstand the pressure. They would be sent flying!
Looking at the crowded crowd, Ao Lingchen did not hesitate and quickly walked forward, following the flow of people to the first floor.
Some martial artists saw Ao Lingchen squeezing over and wanted to force him to retreat. But thinking of his fierce actions just now, they still held back in the end.
Without being attacked by anyone, Ao Lingchen squeezed into the first level of the Heavenly Martial Ladder.
Standing on the scaling ladder, Ao Lingchen instantly felt that shocking pressure. It was as if a heavy mountain had appeared on his back, pressing down on his body.
"This is the effect of the ladder!"
Although the pressure was strong, Ao Lingchen could feel that the cells in his body were gradually getting stronger under this pressure.
What surprised Ao Lingchen was that besides this pressure, there seemed to be a kind of mystical force that was transforming his body.
If he didn't guess wrong, there was a high possibility that so many people wanted to rush up the ladder to challenge the trial because of this kind of mystical force.
A dull cracking sound was heard from within his body. Ao Lingchen's physical strength was slowly increasing. The three wisps of pure Yuan Qi in his dantian were also growing stronger and stronger.
This change made Ao Lingchen feel excited from the bottom of his heart. He seemed to have fallen in love with this ladder!
Feeling the changes in his body with joy, Ao Lingchen's body was suddenly pushed by someone and fell from the scaling ladder to the ground.
Ao Lingchen's eyes slightly narrowed. He raised his head and looked at his original position. He saw a fat and fat young man raising his middle finger at him with an arrogant expression. His mouth slowly opened and closed, as if he was scolding himself.
When Ao Lingchen saw this scene, a flash of displeasure appeared between his brows, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. As if he had thought of something, he raised his head and looked.
Ao Lingchen discovered that on the fifth floor, on the higher part of the ladder, Ximen Guang was looking at him with a mocking gaze. That gaze was filled with provocation, as if he was saying, Come up if you have the ability!
Sima Zhao's heart was obviously arranged by Ximen Guang.
"Very well, I'll settle this with you guys in the future!"
Ao Lingchen's heart sank. He knew that even if he pushed himself up now, he would still be pushed down. This way, he wouldn't be able to cultivate.
Taking large strides, without any hesitation, Ao Lingchen left the Heavenly Martial Ladder.
After leaving the Heavenly Martial Ladder, Ao Lingchen walked straight towards the Martial Skill Pavilion.
Although he had won in the battle with Chen Yifann, he also realized that his Fierce Tiger Descends the Mountain was a mediocre martial skill, so he couldn't exert much of its power.
If he wanted to unleash the power of a martial artist, he would probably need a matching martial skill.
"I hope I can find a cultivation method and martial skill suitable for me in Martial Skill Pavilion. Otherwise, I can't just foolishly practice punching like before." On the way to Martial Skill Pavilion, Ao Lingchen helplessly sighed. If it wasn't for the Mixed Essence Arts that he passed down in his family to Qiu Muxue, he wouldn't have to worry about the cultivation method.
The layout of Tianwu Academy was very quiet. There were all kinds of flowers and trees planted on both sides of a narrow path filled with pebbles. The verdant green and bright red flowers made one feel relaxed. According to the dean, only a good environment could nurture a better talent.
When Ao Lingchen passed by, many students who were not even martial artists pointed at him and discussed. Their faces revealed unconcealed ridicule.
Hearing the mocking whispers, Ao Lingchen raised his eyebrows slightly and ignored them. He shook his head thoughtfully and continued walking forward.
At the end of the path, bypassing a few courtyards, Ao Lingchen stopped in front of an ancient and huge building.
With anticipation in his heart, Ao Lingchen raised his head and looked at the low-profile and ancient building in front of him.
A plaque that had been baptized by the passage of time was hung above the three-meter tall door of the building. On it, the three big characters of Martial Skill Pavilion were written in vigorous calligraphy.
Through the open door, Ao Lingchen saw many people walking around inside. This made him feel a little surprised.
Today was the opening day of the Heavenly Martial Ladder. Logically speaking, most of the martial artists had gone there. There shouldn't be many people here. Why was it so lively today?
Shrugging his shoulders, Ao Lingchen was only a bit surprised when he saw more people. These matters that had nothing to do with him were quickly thrown to the side, and he walked into the Martial Skill Pavilion.
When he walked into Martial Skill Pavilion, the people inside saw Ao Lingchen's appearance and all of them revealed some surprise on the way. However, because Martial Skill Pavilion prohibited talking, everyone didn't say anything even if they were surprised.
Ao Lingchen ignored these people and greeted the elders who were guarding the entrance. After that, he followed the instructions of the Martial Skill Pavilion and walked in.
The Martial Skill Pavilion was very simple. It was divided into two levels. The first level contained Yellow Level martial skills, and the second level stored Profound Level martial skills.
As for the higher level Earth Level martial skills, even the Tianwu Academy did not have them after so many years.
Even if the entire territory was placed in the kingdom, there were not many Earth Grade martial skills that could be found.
The first level was divided into two areas. There were martial skills in the east and cultivation skills in the west. Looking around, the bookshelves in the two areas were filled with scrolls.
This arrangement made it much easier to find suitable scrolls for oneself.
Ao Lingchen thought about the martial technique and walked straight to the east. Leaning against the bookshelf, he casually pulled out a scroll and slowly opened it.
A few big red words appeared on the opened scroll.
Low-grade yellow-rank: Fire Cloud Palm!
Ao Lingchen leisurely flipped through the cultivation method of Fire Cloud Palm and slowly read it in detail.
In this Martial Skill Pavilion, each person could only borrow one martial skill or cultivation method once a week. Furthermore, they could not borrow it for more than three days, much less leak the academy's cultivation method.
Therefore, Ao Lingchen had to seriously read it before he knew what he needed. He also wanted to firmly remember these martial skills in his mind when reading them, so as to not waste this opportunity to borrow books.
