Chapter 67

"Second floor?"

Hearing Ling Zhan's words, Wang Chen was slightly taken aback, only then remembering that the library had three floors. Since he was currently on the first floor, there should be two more floors above. From this, it seemed that the martial techniques stored above must be better, and there might even be secret manuals like cultivation techniques.

Turning his head, he quickly saw the stairs leading to the second floor and walked over swiftly, arriving at the entrance of the second floor in the blink of an eye.

Just like when he entered the library, there was also an energy barrier at the entrance to the second floor! Compared to the first floor, this energy barrier was clearly much stronger.

"Hehe, kid, looks like you're in trouble. It'll be hard for you to break through this energy barrier!" Ling Zhan said with a smirk, looking at the barrier in front of him, clearly enjoying Wang Chen's predicament.

Furrowing his brows, Wang Chen reached out to touch the barrier and instantly felt a massive counterforce, almost pushing him back. His arm recoiled from a terrifying impact, and his entire palm tingled slightly.

"Very strong!" Wang Chen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice. As Ling Zhan had said, this barrier was far superior to the one at the entrance of the first floor. It was probably one of the tests for those entering the library.

"That kid, I wonder if he can enter the second floor. If he can't, then the玄stage martial techniques will be out of the question!" At that moment, outside the library, the Grand Elder stroked his bald head, muttering to himself with a hint of helplessness.

For a hundred years, the Star Sect's library had never allowed outer sect disciples to enter. Even inner sect disciples, except for direct disciples, had to have outstanding performance to be allowed in; others were strictly forbidden from approaching the library.

This time, Wang Chen's performance in the outer sect had shocked all the inner sect elders. After Elder Huangya entered the inner sect to report yesterday, the inner sect elders immediately gathered for a discussion. Finally, at the suggestion of the Grand Elder and the Second Elder, they decided to make an exception and allow this kid to enter the library to choose a secret manual. This was a tremendous favor!

However, how easy was it to enter the Star Sect's library? Four out of the seven elders maintained an opposing stance, believing that Liu Yuanxiu three years ago did not receive such treatment, and neither should Wang Chen now. They firmly opposed his entry into the library.

The two sides were at an impasse. After much discussion, they finally decided to let him enter, in principle allowing him to take a玄stage martial technique, and even a cultivation technique if he had the ability. But whether he could actually obtain them would depend on his luck, which could be considered a miracle. Without a miracle, Wang Chen had no hope of getting those things.

"That kid is in trouble!" Thinking about the strength of the second floor's energy barrier, the Grand Elder sighed.

That barrier was one even a True Martial practitioner found hard to break through. For Wang Chen, it was indeed a challenge. Being able to enter the first floor was already quite an achievement. He clearly remembered the last time a sixth-stage True Martial practitioner accompanied him to the second floor to retrieve a martial technique manual, but was ultimately blocked from entering. How much more difficult would it be for Wang Chen?!

-< >-, the Grand Elder watched with a hint of anticipation. Could that kid bring him some surprises? Or could he create a miracle that would make those three old men ashamed?

He clearly remembered the eye contact on the outer sect square earlier. Wang Chen was the first person to quickly recover from his aura.

"If it doesn't work, just look around the first floor. There are some decent high-stage Yellow martial techniques. As for the玄stage ones, I'll make it up to you next time!" After a moment, the Grand Elder shook his head with a bitter smile and continued muttering to himself.

………………………………

Inside the library, Wang Chen stood before the second floor's energy barrier, his entire body's true essence bursting forth, his aura soaring. Clenching his fists, he looked at the transparent energy barrier: "No matter how strong it is, I have to get in!"

He said this simple sentence to Ling Zhan, which contained all his current feelings.

Having finally gained the opportunity to enter the library, how could he be stopped by this small barrier? He was absolutely unwilling to leave such a regret.

"Break it!" With a roar, he bent his legs and lunged forward like a cheetah, fists clenched, charging at the barrier, using the momentum to propel himself forward.

Thud...

It was as if a stone had fallen into a river, producing a dull sound. Then, as if nothing had happened, Wang Chen's fierce posture was frozen in place, unable to move.

He felt as if all his strength had sunk into the sea, his entire body uncomfortable. Wang Chen finally understood the feeling of being unable to exert his strength.

Bang...

Before Wang Chen could react, a fierce counterforce struck him, giving him no chance to dodge. He was violently thrown back and slammed onto the ground.

The sudden heavy fall made Wang Chen feel as if his entire body was about to fall apart, causing intense pain.

"Earth Split!" Taking a deep breath, he launched another attack on the energy barrier, unwilling to give up.

Bang...

Encountering the same situation, he was once again thrown back, landing on the ground, covered in dust and dirt.

Springing up, ignoring the pain, Wang Chen attacked again, only to be thrown back once more. This repeated several times, and in no time, his face was bruised and swollen. Perhaps he was the first person to be beaten up by the library's energy barrier!

"Hehe, kid, how about I give you a hand?" Seeing Wang Chen's panting and disheveled appearance, Ling Zhan couldn't help but ask.

"No, I can do it myself!" Frowning, with a look of defiance, Wang Chen said in a deep voice. In such a disheveled state, his unwillingness and indomitable spirit wouldn't allow anyone to help him. If he couldn't overcome this difficulty, how could he talk about achieving great things in the future?

"Green Light Burst!" With a cold shout, true essence surged within him, converging in his palm. This was Wang Chen's last resort. If this didn't work, he would have to admit he wasn't at that level and could do without the martial technique!

"Finally remembered, huh? Hehe, a fifth-layer Green Light Burst is equivalent to a full-force attack from a seventh or eighth-stage True Martial practitioner. Hmm, it should be comparable to a full-force attack from a ninth-stage True Martial practitioner!" Seeing Wang Chen finally think of this ultimate move, Ling Zhan smiled.

He wasn't worried about the Green Light Burst damaging the library. Under the protection of the energy barrier, the library was as safe as could be!

"Fifth-layer Green Light Burst!" In an instant, a fist-sized green light ball condensed. With a roar, it shot straight at the energy barrier.

"Boom..."

As the Green Light Burst merged with the energy barrier, the entire library erupted with a thunderous boom, causing it to shake slightly.

The intense green light burst forth, illuminating the dim surroundings, casting a green glow.

"Damn, what's going on! That kid didn't destroy the library, did he?!" Outside the library, the Grand Elder couldn't help but exclaim as the library trembled.

At the same time, several figures suddenly appeared around the library, rushing over.

"Kid, hurry and break through!" The massive energy finally tore a hole in the energy barrier. Seeing this, Ling Zhan shouted loudly.

Taking a deep breath, ignoring the fatigue spreading through his body, Wang Chen sprinted forward, using the gap before it closed to punch through the barrier and slip inside.

Everything returned to calm, and Wang Chen's figure disappeared from the first floor, stepping into a new place—the second floor of the library.
