"Shall we go to the Martial Arts Pavilion first?"
Wei Banng’s cool voice resonated in the slightly noisy corridor, carrying an air of decisiveness.
"Choose the Great Sun Level Martial Technique provided by the Federation to avoid unnecessary delays."
Chu Kuanglan grinned, speaking in a deep voice: "Hehe, true. Although our family traditions are strong, the Federation Armory might just have so long-lost Ancient Techniques or sothing particularly fitting."
Lu Jiuyuan also nodded in agreent, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Fang Qingyu had no objections to this.
"Have you decided what type of Martial Technique you want?" Wei Banng turned her head, looking at Fang Qingyu, her cool eyes carrying an inquiry.
Fang Qingyu barely hesitated: "Still Hard Skills."
Enhancing bodily strength has always been one of the core foundations of a Martial Artist’s power system.
Moreover, the current perception of 49 points in Golden Body Attribute is by no ans the endpoint.
Presently, with one Hard Skill perfected and two nearing perfection, it seems impossible for his physical body to reach its limits, so choosing another Hard Skill is logical and reasonable.
It’s just...
The money is almost spent.
The previous rewards from the Qingjian City Insect Nest and the Songdu Pit, a terrifying fortune of over a million, got exhausted like water while breaching the barrier of the Immovable Ming King Skill and Ash Destruction Tribulation Body.
Wei Banng was montarily taken aback.
"I rember you’ve already perfected one Hard Skill and have two others nearly perfected? You still want to choose Hard Skill?"
Fang Qingyu nodded: "Hard Skills have always been the foundation of a Martial Artist’s growth, haven’t they?"
Chu Kuanglan and Lu Jiuyuan heard this and looked at Fang Qingyu with a hint of awe in their eyes.
They knew all too well how difficult Hard Skills were to train!
It’s not just a bottomless pit of resources but also the ultimate tornt on the body’s Will!
This God Fang hasn’t just trained them but mastered three? Now he’s going for a fourth Great Sun Level Hard Skill?!
Is he trying to turn himself into a walking human fortress...
Wei Banng was only slightly puzzled for a mont, her expression quickly returned to normal, and she nodded slightly.
Fang Qingyu looked at Wei Banng, shifting the tone with a hint of helplessness and a bit of...:
"However, the money is almost gone."
Fang Qingyu looked directly and frankly at Wei Banng:
"Is there any place in Shangjing where we can hunt Life Ghosts? Preferably where resources can be quickly obtained without delaying entry into the ’Abyss’ at any ti?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Banng paused slightly.
Her cool brow furrowed unusually, as if she was contemplating seriously.
Beside her, Chu Kuanglan and Lu Jiuyuan exchanged a glance, with a hint of hesitation on their faces, their lips moved but eventually said nothing.
A few seconds later, Wei Banng’s brow relaxed, seemingly having made a decision, and she looked at Fang Qingyu, her voice lowered: "There is."
She paused and added: "I’ll take you there later."
Chu Kuanglan opened his mouth, as if wanting to remind sothing, but was gently tugged by Lu Jiuyuan’s sleeve, eventually swallowing the words.
...
The Martial Arts Pavilion was located in a core area of the building’s certain floor.
Its level of security even surpassed that of a typical Divine Managent Bureau branch.
The heavy doors required multiple authentication levels to open.
Upon entering, the view suddenly widened.
The huge space was divided into nurous bookshelf areas, each labeled with densely packed nas, descriptions, and types of Martial Techniques.
The air was filled with the scent of old paper and ink.
Looking around.
Fists, palms, fingers, claws, swords, spears, body techniques, stepping techniques, Observation thods, Hard Skills...
Categories vast and boundless like a sea!
Even disciples from top Martial Arts Halls mostly slowed their pace, their eyes focused as they carefully selected the one that best suited them or could complent their weaknesses.
After all, although the core traditions of each family are strong.
The vastness of the Federation Armory often brings unexpected surprises.
Fang Qingyu’s target was clear, heading straight to the area marked [Horizontal Training of Hard Skills].
On the light screen, the nas of various Great Sun Level Hard Skills scrolled quickly, each either domineering, heavy, or mysterious:
"Vajra Indestructible Body," "Nine-Turned Profound Turtle Shell"...
Each one ca with a brief written description and simulated imagery.
Fang Qingyu’s gaze quickly swept over.
"Vajra Indestructible Body" was imnsely powerful but slightly overlapped with his existing Immovable Ming King Skill.
"Nine-Turned Profound Turtle Shell" focused on defense, its counterforce relatively weak...
In the end.
Fang Qingyu’s gaze fixed on a cultivation technique that wasn’t particularly grandiose in na.
"Bamboo Shadow Body Tempering Manual"!
On the light screen, the introduction was just a few words:
"Observe the resilience of green bamboo, bask in the chill of moon shadows. Temper the body like bamboo, join node by node; temper the body like a shadow, where reality and illusion intertwine. The combination of hardness and softness, unparalleled flexibility. Upon perfection, the body is like millennia-old bamboo, able to dissipate imnse forces invisibly, also able to rebound power like shadows that adhere."
In the accompanying energy simulation image, it wasn’t a muscular or radiantly golden figure as imagined.
Instead, there was a vague silhouette practicing beneath the moonlit bamboo grove, movents slow and resilient, surrounded by the subtle sway of erald bamboo shadows, the cold flow of moonlight, sotis dissipating incoming violent forces like waves, sotis rebounding with the sudden resilience of bamboo!
"Resilience... force dissipation... rebound... the combination of hardness and softness..."
A flash of clarity appeared in Fang Qingyu’s eyes.
His previous three Hard Skills, Celestial Drum Thunder Sound Body focused on vibration and amplification, Immovable Ming King Skill on hard defense and power foundation, Ash Destruction Tribulation Body on high-temperature corrosion and resistance.
All three leaned towards the "hard" aspect.
And this "Bamboo Shadow Body Tempering Manual," with its core principles of "resilience," "dissipation," "rebound," along with its unique "softness" and "interplay of reality and illusion" traits.
