Returning once again to the Scripture Pavilion.
Mu Jinyu still greeted the Guardian Elder before entering the interior of the Scripture Pavilion.
After Mu Jinyu entered, the Guardian Elder opened his eyes, and a trace of sharp light flashed through his murky old eyes.
"Not bad, he's already advanced to the Inner Gate. Judging by the slight changes in his True Yuan, it seems that 'Great Freedom Heavenly Wood Sword Qi' has been cultivated to the point of initial insight."
The Guardian Elder praised to himself, "If the Heavenly Sword Faction could continue to produce such talented geniuses with excellent root bones and astonishing comprehension, how could our faction not flourish, how could we not rise beyond this small land of the Yan Kingdom?"
What he didn't know was that Mu Jinyu had not rely cultivated the 'Great Freedom Heavenly Wood Sword Qi' to the initial insight level but had reached masterful skill!
If he knew, he probably wouldn't be sighing like this but would say that with Mu Jinyu, the Heavenly Sword Faction could flourish for a hundred years with just one person!
Mu Jinyu was unaware of the Guardian Elder's evaluation of him. Relying on his Inner Gate disciple's attire, he directly walked up to the second floor of the Scripture Pavilion.
Although it had only been a short half month since he ca to the Scripture Pavilion to choose 'Great Freedom Heavenly Wood Sword Qi,' far from reaching the ti to reselect a secret manual once a month.
But don't forget, Mu Jinyu was no longer an Outer Gate disciple; he was now an Inner Gate disciple. So he could not only rely on the reward for winning first place in the Outer Gate grand competition to freely choose a manual from the second floor but also use his Inner Gate disciple qualification to select another one.
So he could choose a total of two manuals.
Soon, Mu Jinyu ca to the second floor of the Scripture Pavilion and, after asking around, found the section for Qinggong and body technique manuals.
"'Inch Step,' Top Yellow Grade movent technique, within a square inch, no one can approach; within the sa inch, no one can escape the kill..."
"'Secret of the Phantom Gale Wind,' Lower Profound Rank movent technique, upon execution, instantaneously covers a hundred ters, countless afterimages, like wind and lightning, when cultivated to transcendence, each afterimage can beco a clone..."
"'Heavenly Dragon Step,' Lower Profound Rank movent technique..."
"'Eight Steps Chasing Cicadas,' Top Yellow Grade movent technique..."
This was Mu Jinyu's first ti encountering body technique manuals, and for a mont, he felt a bit dazzled, with each one seeming excellent, each one he wanted to learn, not knowing which to choose.
After a good while, Mu Jinyu finally looked through all the body technique manuals, cald himself slightly, and ensured he wouldn't lose himself.
He began to analyze the pros and cons of these body technique manuals. So were suitable for long-distance travel and consud little True Yuan, like 'Heavenly Dragon Step' and 'Secret of the Phantom Gale Wind,' but were not as useful in close combat as 'Eight Steps Chasing Cicadas' and 'Inch Step!'
'Eight Steps Chasing Cicadas' and 'Inch Step' were explosive body techniques, once executed, the leap to kill made it hard for the opponent to react, catching them off guard.
However, they consud a great deal of True Yuan. Over long distances, after running for so ti, their True Yuan would be exhausted, making them have to stop to recover True Yuan.
If they were being chased, this point would be crucial!
"My advantage is that I do not lack for True Yuan..." Newest update provıded by Nove1Fire
Mu Jinyu analyzed the differences among these body techniques and found there wasn't one that was perfectly balanced. He then began to analyze his strengths.
He rembered the mystical little tree rooted in his mind, which made his True Yuan consumption negligible, and his consumption could barely keep up with the replenishnt.
If that was the case, there was no need to choose 'Heavenly Dragon Step' or 'Secret of the Phantom Gale Wind' just for the sake of long-distance travel or to avoid being chased.
He could long execute 'Inch Step' and 'Eight Steps Chasing Cicadas.' Wouldn't the speed be faster than 'Heavenly Dragon Step' and 'Secret of the Phantom Gale Wind'?
Since he had a stronger advantage than others, why not choose the imdiate benefit?
Mu Jinyu made a decision and then picked up a manual.
'Ten Steps Move,' Top Profound Rank movent technique, similar in nature to 'Inch Step,' it's a type that rises to kill within a square inch, invincible. It can be considered an advanced version of 'Inch Step,' not limited to close-range killing, but also effective for long-distance kills.
The downside was its massive consumption of True Yuan!
A cultivator at the Mid-Stage of Divinity Transformation Realm would exhaust their True Yuan after running four or five miles. An Advanced Divine Realm cultivator would run about ten miles before their True Yuan was depleted.
"Others' weakness is not my weakness. With the mystical little tree, I can master this technique and achieve the ability to kill with every ten steps, traveling thousands of miles without stopping..."
Mu Jinyu whispered to himself, picked 'Ten Steps Move,' and then continued to wander the second floor of the Scripture Pavilion.
He could choose another manual yet had not decided which type.
If it were soone like Wu Lei or Li Xiaoxiao among the Outer Gate disciples, upon entering the Inner Gate, they would not have such dilemmas. They would imdiately rush to pick cultivation technique manuals instead of body technique or technique manuals!
Because the strength of a cultivation technique determines the strength of a cultivator's True Yuan, its recovery speed, refining speed, etc.
Outer Gate disciples could cultivate with cultivation techniques on the first floor, mostly yellow-grade techniques. Upon entering the Inner Gate, they could go to the second floor of the Scripture Pavilion. Who would continue to cultivate yellow-grade techniques without urgently switching to profound-grade techniques?
But this iron rule did not apply to Mu Jinyu.
Cultivating one of the Five Emperors Techniques, 'Green Emperor's Wood Emperor Art,' Mu Jinyu didn't know what rank these techniques were, but he was sure it was a Heaven Rank technique. Did he still need to switch to another cultivation technique?
Therefore, he didn't need to switch cultivation techniques at the mont. Regarding technique and supernatural powers, even though he hadn't mastered 'Great Freedom Heavenly Wood Sword Qi,' there was no need to rush to learn more. Excessive learning could lead to poor digestion.
Then... what should he choose?
Mu Jinyu wandered around and eventually stopped beside a particular bookshelf.
"This is..."
Mu Jinyu looked at the signs on this bookshelf, understanding that these manuals were different from cultivation, body technique, technique, or divine skills manuals.
They were about energy exertion thods and body tempering techniques!
Mu Jinyu imdiately thought of Martial Artists in the mortal world, with so cultivating internal martial arts and others cultivating external martial arts, like 'Golden Bell Cover' and 'Iron Cloth.'
"Hmm, this is good. I've always had skinny arms and legs, looking weak. I should cultivate so external martial arts to look more manly."
Mu Jinyu stared for a few monts, his eyes brightened, and he quickly walked to the bookshelf, beginning to search for suitable body tempering manuals!
'Great Strength Bull Demon Fist,' Mid-Profound Rank Body Refining Technique, using the blood of the Bull Demon to temper the body daily. Upon mastery, it increases punching power by 3,650 jin!
'Vajra Subduing Demon Palm,' Superior Profound Rank Body Refining Technique, upon mastery, gives bronze skin and iron bones, and the power to carry mountains...
'Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppression Technique,' Top-Profound Rank Body Refining Technique, upon mastery, bestows the power of a dragon and an elephant, feared by even the supernatural!'
