Chapter 81

Xie Fengtang could hardly believe his ears.

He stared at Tang Jie, "You said you memorized three techniques?"

"To be precise, it should be three and a half," Tang Jie replied.

He didn't fear shocking the world; he directly mentioned three and a half techniques.

The main reason for this was that he would eventually need to use these techniques in the future. If he said he only memorized one now, he would only be able to use one in the future. If he needed to use a second one later, how would he explain it?

Since that was the case, he might as well show off his talent now. "I have an extraordinary memory, what can you do about it?"

Others can have the talent of the Nine Revolutions of Jade Gate; why can't I have the talent of super memory?

The reason he said three and a half was because Tang Jie estimated that he could only master a few techniques in the next three years.

The techniques in the Divine Dawn Sword Canon were not comparable to those in the lower levels. Each one was profound and could be used all the way up to the Heavenly Heart Purple Mansion, with only the power changing as one's strength increased.

For the same reason, these techniques were extremely difficult to practice.

Unlike pure techniques like the Water Light Shield, the techniques in the Divine Dawn Sword Canon were not just techniques but also came with specialized cultivation methods. Only after reaching a certain level in the cultivation method could one truly unleash the technique's power.

Therefore, Tang Jie estimated that mastering three techniques in ten years would be quite good. The reason he said three and a half was to leave room for the future. If he progressed faster and needed to add another technique, he could say, "I finally recovered my memory of the fourth technique!" and the half technique would become a full one.

The memory array recorded more than just these techniques, so most of them would ultimately be wasted. However, who would care about that?

It was good to have them there for reference.

At this moment, Xie Fengtang was stunned and asked trembling, "Which three techniques?"

He automatically ignored the half technique.

Tang Jie replied, "Purple Lightning Leap, Unshaped Golden Body, and Divine Court Thousand Transformations. However, Dean, I memorized them hastily, and I'm afraid I might have missed something over time..."

He looked at Xie Fengtang with an urgent expression, as if to say, "I have a big problem to answer later, but now I just barely memorized them, let me go back and practice them thoroughly."

In fact, he hadn't memorized a single word, fearing that Xie Fengtang wouldn't believe him and would casually ask some cultivation method or incantation, which he couldn't answer. Naturally, he had to find an excuse to leave quickly.

Fortunately, this reason was also reasonable. Any disciple of the Moon Washing Sect who had studied these two great canons would immediately collapse after leaving, often not coming out for ten days or half a month. They would even talk in their sleep, reciting long incantations, and even urinate following the route of their cultivation method before feeling at ease.

Therefore, Xie Fengtang couldn't stop him, only staring at Tang Jie in a daze and finally saying, "Go, go..."

Tang Jie thanked him and ran back to Tao Ran Residence like a flash.

Looking at his excited back, Xie Fengtang's lips trembled, and he said trembling, "This time, I've lost more than I've gained..."

Thinking about it, this kid could memorize three techniques in an hour, which was quite a talent.

Hmm, that means even if he isn't Tang Jie, he's at least a talent, and the sect wouldn't lose by taking him in.

Thinking this, Xie Fengtang felt much better.

Self-comforting is everywhere.

——————————

Back at Tao Ran Residence, Tang Jie directly activated the great array and hung a sign saying he was in a critical stage of cultivation and would not receive visitors. Since everyone knew about this, it was quite open and aboveboard.

Then he formally began to study the three techniques he had reported.

During that hour, besides setting up the array, Tang Jie had nothing to do, so he looked through all the thousand techniques, ensuring he had a clear understanding. Others would spend a few minutes selecting and the rest of the time memorizing, but he spent the entire time selecting, except for the time setting up the array. The techniques he chose were naturally the most suitable for him.

The first technique Tang Jie chose was the Purple Lightning Leap.

As the name suggests, this was an escape technique, but it could also be used in combat.

In the Divine Dawn Sword Canon, the Purple Lightning Leap was one of the fastest techniques, with the only drawback being the excessive consumption of spirit energy and lack of endurance, making it unsuitable for long-distance travel. However, it was extremely useful for short sprints and close combat, both for attack and escape. Additionally, it could be applied to flying techniques to increase flight speed.

The Unshaped Golden Body was a body-strengthening technique. When used, it could greatly increase physical strength and endurance. Unlike the Hundred Refinements stage of the Transcendent Realm, which permanently enhanced physical strength by transforming the body, the Unshaped Golden Body was a technique that temporarily enhanced physical strength and endurance through the technique itself, making the body as hard as gold and as strong as a dragon, useful for both attack and defense in close combat.

Body-strengthening techniques generally only increased strength or endurance, but only high-level techniques like the Unshaped Golden Body could enhance both, with astonishing effects.

Since it was a technique, even with Tang Jie's strong constitution, he could still benefit from it.

The reason he chose this was to find a reason for his future strong body. Before taking action, he could casually use the Unshaped Golden Body technique, whether it was actually useful or not depending on the situation.

If anyone thought Tang Jie's spirit energy would definitely be insufficient because of this, they would be in for a surprise due to miscalculation.

As for the third technique, Divine Court Thousand Transformations, it was a blade technique.

The biggest feature of this technique was that it could be applied to any weapon.

The reason he chose this technique was because of the Armament Master's Armament Word Technique.

Although the Armament Word Technique currently seemed useless except for destroying three magical weapons, Tang Jie had some ideas about the golden sand.

At this moment, he thought, and a grain of golden sand flew out of his body, the result of the fusion of the three destroyed magical weapons.

If destroying one magical weapon produced a grain of sand so small it was almost invisible, the current grain of golden sand was at least visible and felt hard when placed on the hand.

Tang Jie rubbed the small grain of sand with his fingers, and under the influence of the Armament Word Technique, the grain of sand gradually elongated, eventually becoming a hair-like thread.

"Indeed, it's like this," Tang Jie smiled.

Looking at the almost invisible golden thread, Tang Jie suddenly pulled it hard, but failed to break it.

"Great!" Tang Jie was excited, gathering a bit of spirit energy on his fingertips and pointing it outward. The golden thread shot out a golden light, piercing through the wooden door and leaving a tiny hole almost invisible to the naked eye.

A small test, a great success, Tang Jie was extremely excited.

However, the next moment, his face changed. "Damn, where did I throw it?"

He rushed out and searched quickly.

After a long time, Tang Jie finally sensed the presence of the golden light and pulled the golden thread out of a pile of soil.

Looking at the golden thread, Tang Jie felt like crying.

This thing was too small; if it was thrown far, it would take days to find it!

No, when it grows larger, the sensing ability will be stronger, and it should be better.

However, to grow it to a usable size, he would have to destroy many weapons. Tang Jie was speechless about the Armament Master's secret techniques.

In addition, Tang Jie had originally prepared a fourth technique, the Jade-Cracking Finger, a powerful armor-piercing technique with unique effects on various defensive techniques, even including the Heavenly God Armor.

The Shaohai Cave Golden Technique he practiced was the best support for the Jade-Cracking Finger, able to enhance its power by 200%.

However, since Xie Fengtang didn't ask, Tang Jie didn't bother to mention it. If necessary, he could replace it with another technique later, as there were many techniques on the array diagram, and he had plenty of choices.

With nothing to do, Tang Jie didn't rush to practice but started to study each technique in detail...

————————————————

Time flies in cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, another half month passed.

When Tang Jie completed his seclusion and came out, he no longer worried about Xie Fengtang's questioning.

Unfortunately, Xie Fengtang had no interest in questioning him again. Instead, Wei Tianchong came over in a hurry.

He had been waiting anxiously for days.

"You are my servant student!" Grabbing Tang Jie's arm, Wei Tianchong shouted, "You disappeared for half a month, where did you serve?"

"..." Tang Jie was helpless and could only smile apologetically, "I was in seclusion."

"Hmph, that's right, the Nine Layers of Heavenly One!" Wei Tianchong sniffed and said coldly, "I don't understand why you get such good treatment at the Moon Washing Academy. You get fish scales, spirit medicines, and even the inheritance. I heard even the crane demon gave you a feather, and I got nothing..."

His eyes were full of envy and jealousy.

Tang Jie, helpless, could only remind him, "Be careful what you say, it's Senior Crane or Senior Bai."

"It's fine, she's not here anyway," Wei Tianchong replied casually.

"Some things need to be careful, whether she's here or not, it's a habit."

"You, that's your problem, you're too careful about everything. Don't you get tired?" Wei Tianchong shook his head.

"That's why I got the crane feather and fish scales," Tang Jie replied calmly.

Wei Tianchong was stunned, thinking seriously for a while, and then said solemnly, "Tang Jie, you're right. You get so much, and I get nothing, not because of fate, but because you work harder than me. I shouldn't envy you!"

Tang Jie was stunned, thinking this kid had suddenly changed, becoming so sensible. He hurriedly said, "Young Master, you finally understand. Let's work hard together in the future..."

Before he finished, Wei Tianchong waved his hand, "Why work hard? That's too tiring. I don't have the mood for it."

"Then what about earlier..."

"My point is, your rewards are the result of your hard work. You deserve more because you work harder. I can't work as hard as you, so I get less. I can't strive for my dreams, but I can lower my expectations! No matter how much you get in the future, I won't envy you. See, am I becoming more sensible and reasonable?" Wei Tianchong laughed loudly.

Tang Jie was speechless and could only raise his thumb, "I'm convinced!"
