Bai Pu put down the [Fierce Tiger Fighting Qi] and soon found another book [Snow Plum Fighting Qi], but its compatibility with him was only 22%.
Glancing at the rows of bookshelves in the Secret Collection Hall, Bai Pu wisely set aside this Fighting Qi Cultivation thod.
——Too many.
Although the bookshelves in the Secret Collection Hall mostly contained cultural books about the continent’s secrets and the history of various countries, the martial skills and Fighting Qi Cultivation thods only occupied a small proportion, but the Secret Collection Hall was too large, with too many bookshelves.
Roughly estimating, there were at least a thousand cultivation thods in the Secret Collection Hall.
Bai Pu could remain in the Demon Fighting World for only seventeen or eighteen more days, and he needed to spend ti on integration and creation.
In any case, Bai Pu could not thoroughly understand all these thousands of Fighting Qi Cultivation thods.
He didn’t have enough ti and had to make choices.
"My goal is to integrate the Fighting Qi Cultivation thods I obtain into one, creating a unique cultivation thod for myself. So those with too low compatibility will not be considered."
Bai Pu set a standard; he would only seriously study the cultivation thods that reached a compatibility of 50% with himself.
As for the duty of library managent, Tom would temporarily help with it.
Tom was also happy to help.
Bai Pu picked up another book [Dark Tide Fighting Qi], with a compatibility of 55%. As he read it, he consulted Munis.
In the spiritual world, Bai Pu continually used [Holy Thorns (Imitation)] to enhance his comprehension and speed up his learning pace.
Day by day, Bai Pu’s knowledge about Fighting Qi Cultivation thods grew richer.
"Huh, the cultivation thods on this bookshelf are not Fighting Qi Cultivation thods."
Bai Pu glanced at the label on the bookshelf, which read "Fighting Qi and Other Derived Techniques."
This bookshelf was a collection of mix-and-match books, so about Divine Oracle Prayer, others about Word Spirit Secret Technique, all attempting to integrate Fighting Qi with various quirky techniques, creating new paths.
Most books were still about the various magic systems.
"Our Garrison Academy has always been exploring new paths, establishing the Combat Priest Class, Combat Spirit dium Class, and Combat Mage Class... cultivating talents of Magic and Martial Dual Cultivation."
Munis advised from the side, "Dior, your talent in the path of Fighting Qi is exceptional, no need to consider these for now."
"I think being a Combat Mage is quite a promising path. Since I took this path, I’ve surpassed so classmates who were more talented than but later chose to purely cultivate Fighting Qi."
Tom, organizing the books, ca over, "If Dior has magic talent, he might consider dual cultivation with magic!"
Bai Pu’s heart stirred. He knew his own Spiritual Talent well.
Initially, to ensure survival, and later, to leverage his strength advantage, he didn’t develop in the Spirit aspect.
At present, Bai Pu’s Spirit Attribute was 54 points, indeed not very high.
But Bai Pu’s control over his spiritual power was quite strong!
Because Bai Pu often cultivated in the "Genetic Heart Image" ditation World, akin to magical professions ditating. This greatly benefited his spiritual control power.
"This should be the last row of bookshelves; there aren’t any more Fighting Qi Cultivation thods, are there?" Bai Pu asked Munis.
Munis nodded.
Bai Pu estimated the ti; he had spent ten days in the Secret Collection Hall and had about a week left.
"I have a vague idea about integrating Fighting Qi Cultivation thods. Since there’s still ti, I might as well explore magic further and see if I can, like Amariel, create a Demon Fighting Qi Cultivation thod."
There was a precedent for success among the natives, giving Bai Pu confidence to attempt it.
Even if he didn’t succeed, Bai Pu could use the Seed of Inspiration to cultivate [Jingtun] Fighting Qi as a fallback.
"There are many sects of magic. For instance, that Laine practices the Space System; Amariel practices the Life Spirit System, and I practice the Elental System. Besides that, there’s the Talismanic System, Astrology System, Summoning System, and so on. Which one will you choose?"
When it ca to magic, Tom was in his elent. Besides having decent Fighting Qi cultivation, he was also a mid-level Elental Mage.
Munis, being purely a Martial Artist, couldn’t offer Bai Pu help in this area.
"I wish to combine it with Fighting Qi, cultivating Demon Fighting Qi, just like the exchange student Amariel," Bai Pu said.
After pondering, Tom said, "I’ve seen Amariel in action, integrating Life Spirit System Magic Power into the Fighting Qi Cultivation thod. The Life Spirit System, also called the Life and Mind System, harnesses the user’s mind power and life force as the source of magic power. The attack magic cast has a dispelling evil effect, defense magic repels evils, and recovery magic can heal both a victim’s body and mind..."
Tom’s foundation was quite solid.
"Can I cultivate it?" Bai Pu asked.
"Life Spirit System magic is challenging to cultivate, primarily because it’s hard to find a suitable Magic Seed. Many have searched across the continent’s relics for years, unable to find a treasure suitable as a Magic Seed for the Life Spirit System."
Bai Pu instantly gave up the idea. His ti on the Demon Fighting Continent was too short to search for Life Spirit System treasures.
"Actually, to cultivate Demon Fighting Qi, the Elental System is a feasible path. You can select one or two Elental Attributes based on the Mystical Arts you’ve comprehended," Tom suggested. "The key is that the Seed of Elental Magic Power is relatively easy to find."
That made sense; the Elental System encompassed four major categories: Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind. If one cultivated Fire Elent Magic Power and integrated it with the Fighting Qi Cultivation thod, it could beco Fire Elent Demon Fighting Qi.
"I’ll give it a try." Bai Pu organized his thoughts; the two major Mystical Arts he currently possessed were Gang Wind and Shattering Mountain, belonging to Wind and Earth, respectively.
He picked up a book [Earth Elent Magic Basics], gave it a brief scan, and then consulted Tom on the anings of specialized magic terminology.
Regarding Bai Pu’s speed in flipping through books, Tom and Munis had beco numb from their initial shock.
It seed like Bai Pu was just skimming, but the questions he posed were ones that only students who had studied cultivation thods deeply could raise, indicating Bai Pu genuinely comprehended the books.
"This world is filled with various Elental Spirits. Cultivating Elental Magic Power involves perceiving Elental Spirits of corresponding attributes from the outside, establishing spiritual resonance with them, thereby cultivating the related magic power...
"Therefore, a cultivator’s Spiritual Talent is crucial, as it determines the efficiency of sensing Elental Spirits; a cultivator’s Constitution is also important, as it affects the efficiency of Elental Spirits accepting you..."
Tom elaborated confidently, "So possess a one-in-a-million Elental Body, with astonishing affinity for a particular elent! They are naturally born Elental Mages."
Bai Pu nodded slightly, closed his eyes as per the book’s instructions, and began to perceive the presence of Earth Elental Spirits.
