Chapter 66

"Hey, you little brat, you actually dared to daydream when the Great Elder was looking at you!" Xiang Qian rolled his eyes, feeling a deep frustration with Wang Chen.

What a great opportunity, if the Great Elder took a liking to him, he might be directly taken into the Inner Sect! How could he be so distracted at such a moment? What could be more foolish than this?

Wang Chen ignored this completely. At this moment, his eyes were entirely focused on the unfathomable Great Elder, with no time to pay attention to Xiang Qian.

The surrounding discussions grew louder, and the square was filled with noise.

"After deliberation by the Elder Council, it has been decided to allow Wang Chen to enter the Inner Sect's library to choose a Profound Rank martial technique as a reward!" Just as everyone was discussing, the Great Elder added fuel to the fire by announcing the reward.

"Heavens, a Profound Rank martial technique!"

"Choose it yourself from the library!"

"Impossible, this has never happened before!"

"Damn, could that kid be the illegitimate child of one of the elders!"

The entire square seemed to tremble, and everyone felt a sense of madness.

To allow Wang Chen to enter the library and choose a Profound Rank martial technique was an honor of the highest degree. Even the top ten on the Star Chart did not have such luck. Even if they spent enough time to enter the Inner Sect and obtain techniques and methods, the Profound Rank martial techniques they received were assigned based on the Elder Council's decisions. Now, Wang Chen was allowed to choose one himself. Even Liu Yuanxiu, who once caused a sensation, did not receive such an honor. Now, Wang Chen had!

This meant that if Wang Chen had good luck, he could choose a high-level Profound Rank martial technique! And it would be the one most suitable for him, which was more practical and tempting than any other reward.

The Yellow Tooth Elder and the Withered Bone Elder, standing behind the Great Elder, exchanged glances, their faces showing shock. Although they had guessed that the reward would not be poor, they did not expect it to be this good.

It seemed that in nearly a hundred years, no Outer Sect disciple had been allowed to enter the library to choose a martial technique! Even Liu Yuanxiu did not have such an opportunity; he only received a mid-level Profound Rank martial technique from the Second Elder. Now, Wang Chen had received an even better privilege?

This made the two of them laugh bitterly. The Inner Sect had indeed made a significant decision.

"Little guy, come with me to choose a martial technique. The rest of you can disperse!" Ignoring the shock of the crowd, the Great Elder nodded in satisfaction and called out to Wang Chen, his voice reaching every corner.

"Kid, hurry up, damn it, you really hit the jackpot! Remember, choose carefully, don't waste this opportunity. Hehe, find a high-level Profound Rank technique!" Xiang Qian pushed Wang Chen, seemingly more anxious and excited than if he had received the opportunity himself!

Wang Chen was also somewhat shocked by the previous words. Entering the library to choose a martial technique was a privilege only the outstanding Inner Sect disciples had. Now, he had also obtained it, which was a pleasant surprise.

Nodding to Xiang Qian, he hurried forward to the Great Elder's side.

Following the Great Elder, they left the square under the watchful eyes of everyone. The people left behind looked at the two with envy.

The people on the square did not leave for a long time, discussing the rising star Wang Chen and speculating about what high-level martial technique he might obtain from the library.

For everyone's reactions, the Yellow Tooth Elder and the Withered Bone Elder could only exchange bitter smiles. Wang Chen had indeed brought a great shock to everyone.

………………………………………………

Following the Great Elder to the Inner Sect, the Inner Sect of the Star Sect was located in a small canyon within the Outer Sect, an artificially developed canyon with green mountains on both sides, towering and forming a beautiful landscape.

Walking along the slightly rugged and narrow mountain path, the two did not say a word and soon arrived at the Inner Sect.

The Inner Sect, the core of the Star Sect, had a grand hall at the front, exuding a majestic and solemn atmosphere, showcasing the style of a thousand-year-old sect.

Passing through the hall, there was a large training ground at the back. On both sides were two rows of neatly arranged buildings.

There were no people in sight. At this time, the Inner Sect disciples should be in the middle of their cultivation, so they did not encounter many people on the way.

The library was an ancient tower-like building, three stories high, with a dark red appearance, indicating its age.

"Little guy, go up and choose. What you can get depends on your luck!" Standing before the library, the Great Elder looked deeply at Wang Chen and said meaningfully.

Nodding to the Great Elder, Wang Chen walked straight into the library. As soon as he entered, he felt an energy fluctuation covering the entire entrance, blocking the way.

Most sects would set up such an energy barrier to protect important places!

True essence power surged within Wang Chen's body, and he resolutely moved forward. The energy barrier instantly emitted a brilliant light, like an invisible wall blocking his path.

"Break!" The rebound force from the energy barrier made Wang Chen frown. With a light shout, he burst with all his strength!

He moved forward like a sharp sword, each step causing the energy barrier to vibrate violently.

With each step, the energy barrier stretched like cotton candy, and finally, with a light sound, it burst like a bubble, revealing a crack!

Seizing this moment, Wang Chen smoothly entered the library through the crack. At the same time, his figure disappeared from the Great Elder's sight, as if vanishing into thin air, invisible through the seemingly transparent energy barrier.

"Tsk tsk... It seems the Second Elder brought back a good seedling. Even a Ninth Stage Body Tempering practitioner might not be able to penetrate this energy barrier!" The Great Elder muttered, looking at where Wang Chen had disappeared.

"Everyone, step back and protect the library!" After a moment, the Great Elder said softly to the air.

Several invisible auras flashed and disappeared.

How could the vast library of the Star Sect be left unprotected?

"Whatever martial technique you get depends on your luck, kid. Treasure this, it's the first time in a hundred years that an Outer Sect disciple has been allowed to enter! However, it seems those people are starting to move. Trouble might come soon, little guy, I hope you can handle it!" The Great Elder sighed softly and stood still, waiting.

Inside the library, Wang Chen felt as if he had entered another world, a place of silence.

An ancient green lamp emitted a faint light, illuminating the entire room, giving it an ancient and elegant atmosphere.

The room was neatly lined with over ten large bookshelves, each filled with hundreds of sheepskin scrolls, which were the martial technique manuals.

Looking through the rows, the dazzling array of sheepskin scrolls left Wang Chen somewhat speechless. The Star Sect, with its thousand-year history, indeed had a vast collection of martial techniques.

However, Wang Chen soon noticed that most of the manuals on display were Yellow Rank martial techniques, and he did not find a single cultivation method manual. This made him frown. Could the Star Sect's collection be just this? The quantity was large, but the quality was lacking. He did not even see a Profound Rank martial technique, or were they all on the second floor?

"Kid, go to the second floor, what you need is there!" Just as Wang Chen was puzzled, Ling Zhan's fleeting figure appeared before him, speaking in a deep voice.
