Chapter 45: The Library Pavilion
Three days have passed since Chu Yi and Ruo Chuqing sparred. In the past three days, if Chu Qing ignored Chu Yi, even if Chu Yi took the initiative to find her, she was turned away. This made Chu Yi very depressed.
Chu Yi's injuries have been healed after three days of cultivation. On this day, Chu Yi was going to study in the Library Pavilion. After the last battle, Chu Yi also deeply realized his biggest shortcoming, and his single means of attack. There are many skills in the inheritance memory of the wind spirit beast that can only be performed by his own clan, and Chu Yi has only comprehended one body technique in three days - following the shadow, through the explosion of spiritual power in the foot, instantly forming an afterimage in the same place, and at the same time quickly approaching the opponent, this is a divine skill of hand-to-hand combat. Do you want to become a melee master like Teacher Xiang Liu Nan? Chu Yi thought. However, the wood spirit power is not the gold spirit power, the aggressiveness is weak, and the close body is likely to be defeated by the opponent, the most suitable combat method for the wood spirit power should be a protracted battle, through distance pulling, constantly consuming the opponent, and finally grinding out a victory. Chu Yi shook his head, this method is a bit frustrating, but it is possible to escape with a shadow, Chu Yi comforted himself.
The Library Pavilion, the Battle Battlefield, and the Trial Tower are known as the three major buildings of the Apocalypse Academy, among which the Library Pavilion is the most popular among students. There are eight floors in the library, the first and second floors are free to enter, and the remaining six floors can be exchanged for college points. House Points can be earned by completing House Missions, or by playing on the battlefield or in the Trial Tower. Chu Yi does not currently have any points.
On the recliner at the entrance of the library pavilion, an old man with a dragon clock was napping in the sun. The chair swayed, and the old man shook his head to the rhythm, almost drooling. It seems that such a bad old man, but no one dares to underestimate it. Because he is the caretaker of the Library Pavilion, the strength of the entire Apocalypse Academy is second only to the powerful existence of several deans, and he has been a strong demon beast king, and there are countless high-level demon beasts that have been killed by him, and he is also famous in the entire human race. The old man's surname is Zhao, and his name is "Thousand Chop", but no one mentions his real name. People who enter and leave the library, and those who pass by the elderly, will bow their heads respectfully.
Although Chu Yi came to the library for the first time, he had already heard of the old man, so he naturally bowed before he walked in the door. The moment Chu Yi walked in the door, the old man opened his eyes, and his eyes flashed. "It turned out to be the body of wood spirit power!It seems that another genius will emerge!" the old man muttered, and then narrowed his eyes again.
At this time, Chu Yi was registering his identity on the first floor, and he didn't know that he had been easily seen through just now.
"Chu Yi, intermediate class 1 student. Chu Yi reported his information.
"Student Chu, this is the first time you have come to the Library Pavilion, and according to the regulations, you must first register a spiritual energy card. At the reception desk on the first floor of the Library Pavilion, a girl wearing a sky-blue student uniform said. The girl's name is Zhang Lin'er, she is a student of the advanced class, and she works in the library pavilion, which is also a college task, and she can earn a certain amount of points and spirit stones. As for the psionic card, it is made of spirit stone mixed with gold crystal, which can store 1 point of essence blood, and after storage, the psionic card can no longer be changed, which is equivalent to identity proof.
"The psionic card needs 10 spirit stones, Chenghui. Zhang Lin'er said with a smile.
"Okay, Senpai. Chu Yi replied, and then bought a psionic card. The psionic card is transparent and cool, and it has the exclusive mark of the library on it to prevent others from copying. Chu Yi dripped a little blood into the psionic card, and the blood merged into the imprint, and the operation was completed.
"Okay, classmate Chu, now you have the permission to enter the first and second floors of the Library Pavilion, and as for the third floor and above, you need to show your score card. Books on the first and second floors can be borrowed for free, but they cannot be taken out, so if you need to burn them, you can go back to the reception and apply for them. There is no restriction on leaving, if you want to come to the library again, just carry the psionic card directly, remember, if you don't carry the psionic card, you will be denied entry by the guardian array. Zhang Lin'er continued.
"Understood!" Chu Yi nodded. Before coming to the Library Pavilion, these Chu Yi had already inquired, the first floor of the Library Pavilion was filled with all kinds of biographies, including the history of the Flood Continent, biographies, monster records, etc., while the second floor included all kinds of low-level exercises, moves, combat skills, etc., which was also the main purpose of Chu Yi's visit.
Chu Yi went straight to the second floor. There are already some people scattered on the second floor, most of whom are students of the beginner class. The attraction of low-level warriors is too small, and with such time, it is better to accumulate more points in exchange for high-level moves. It's a simple truth to be greedy and chew more, but for Chu Yi, this problem doesn't exist at all. The body of spiritual power, although it has lost the move skill of multi-attribute matching, but cultivating the move of the same attribute is a matter of overnight.
Chu Yi quickly walked to the wood attribute exercise area and picked it up excitedly.
"Fall to the ground" to connect oneself with the earth and strengthen one's ability to resist attacks; "One leaf blinds" to confuse the opponent's sight and hide oneself. These low-level moves are very useful support moves. After Chu Yi saw it, he didn't hesitate to learn. It is also a wood attribute exercise, and it is bypassed, and with Chu Yi's cultivation, it is still very fast to learn. It's a pity that Chu Yi doesn't have a secondary attribute, so exercises such as "Fire Tree Silver Flower" and "Water and Wood Origin" can't be practiced.
Just when Chu Yi was hungry and eager to study, suddenly an old voice sounded in his ears. "Little one, are you interested in cultivating a special exercise? ”
"Who! Who are you!" Chu Yi was startled, and hurriedly looked left and right, but there was no one else around except himself.
"Don't look for it, old man Zhao Liu!" replied in an old voice, "Everyone calls me Zhao Qianqi." ”
"Venerable Zhao!" Chu Yi was taken aback again, and hurriedly said respectfully. Chu Yi did not doubt the identity of the voice, in the Library Pavilion, no one dared to pretend to be Venerable Zhao at all.
"No need to be polite!" the old man said again, "There is a special wood-based exercise on the second floor of the Library Pavilion, I wonder if you are interested?"
"Special exercises?" Chu Yi muttered, speaking of which, the wood-based exercises were not the mainstream exercises, especially the low-level, on the second floor of the library pavilion, the wood-based exercises only occupied 2 bookshelves, Chu Yi had naturally browsed them all, but he did not find the existence of special exercises. However, since Venerable Zhao said, there is naturally no deception, so Chu Yi said honestly: "Please Venerable for advice!"
"Very good, you go to the shelf in the right-hand corner of the second floor, the innermost copy in the third row, as for whether to practice or not, it's up to you to decide. The old man said.
Chu Yi followed the instructions and walked to the bookshelf, only to see a plaque hanging in front of the shelf, with the word "fragment" in a big book.
It turned out to be a fragment, this ...... Chu Yi was puzzled, picked up the book that the old man said, and saw that the cover said "Life Absorption". The book was very thin, and when it was opened, it was only one page, and there was a picture on it, on which was a pitch-black devil's claw, clutching a burning green flame, and two lines of small letters were written under the picture: the first line reads, "If you want to practice this skill, enter the demon path first", and the second line reads, "Sacrifice your life to me." Chu Yi only glanced at it, and felt his heart pounding, his mind was attracted by books, and there seemed to be someone in his mind who was constantly bewitching, "Cultivate me, I will give you strength." Chu Yi hurriedly closed the book, and a cold sweat slipped down, this is a feeling of being manipulated, a feeling of evil.
"Venerable, what the hell is this?" Chu Yi wiped his sweat and finally stabilized.
"This is the world-beating exercise of the Emperor of the Extreme Heaven back then, only the body of the wood spirit can be cultivated, but unfortunately this exercise is incomplete, and it has been left in the library for many years, waiting for its destined people to understand the mystery. The old man said. The Extreme Heaven Emperor Zun is the strongest wood attribute cultivator in the history of the human race, and his cultivation is the best in the continent, thousands of years ago, he once entered the dragon's lair alone, killed the dragon king, and retreated with his whole body. It's a pity that such a strong person disappeared mysteriously, and even the exercises have not been completely inherited, and it is estimated that there are no bones left.
"However, this exercise is so evil!" Chu Yi said, just a glance just now almost fell into it.
"Hey, you can actually resonate with the exercises!" the old man said in surprise. For many years, countless people have read this exercise, but unfortunately they all died without a problem, they all thought that this was a painting, but Zhao Liu didn't think so, when the Apocalypse Academy was established, this exercise already existed, and it was placed on the top floor of the library for safekeeping. Zhao Liu didn't think that those seniors were stupid, but he felt that the time had not yet come. Later, after Zhao Liu took care of the library pavilion, he moved this exercise down again and again, and finally moved it to the second floor. At this time, Chu Yi's words made him happy.
Chu Yi told the situation just now.
"This doesn't matter, it only proves the power of the exercises. You try again, this time the old man protects the Dharma for you, and once something happens, the old man will interrupt you as soon as possible. The old man said disapprehantly.
"It's, okay. Chu Yi could only nod helplessly. Listening to the old man's tone, it was obviously impossible for Chu Yi to refuse.
Chu Yi opened the book cautiously again, but this time the feeling just now did not appear again, huh. Wait, it seems like something different. There was a green flame on the painting, but now it turned black, the same color as the devil's claw. Could it be that he was wrong just now, Chu Yi thought.
"How, how does it feel?" came the old man's eager voice.
"Uh...... I'm sorry, Your Holiness, to disappoint you. Chu Yi said apologetically, although he didn't know what the reason was, but he didn't have a feeling of palpitations, no matter how Chu Yi looked through this book, it was plain and unresponsive.
...... There was silence. Finally, the old man's regretful voice came: "Hey, it seems that you have nothing to do with it, it's just that." Boy, you are also a wood spirit body, although you can't cultivate the Extreme Heaven Emperor's world-class martial arts, don't waste your talent. The old man casually mentioned a few words, and then did not speak again.
At this time, neither Chu Yi nor Zhao Liu knew that in Chu Yi's body, there was a flame slowly drifting.
