Chapter 68

"Swish, swish, swish—"

In the middle of the hall, Xiao Xin and the other two's movements became faster and faster, clearly they all wanted to obtain the spirit technique as soon as possible.

However, the three of them obviously did not have Ye Zhong's discerning eye, so after several attempts, none of them managed to obtain the spirit technique of their choice.

"Cough—little guys, I forgot to tell you just now, entering the third level has a time limit. Now you only have the time it takes to drink a cup of tea left. If you can't get anything by then, you'll have to return empty-handed!"

Dianzhu Yue Hao's voice suddenly sounded at a certain moment, and there was a malicious smile in his voice. Clearly, this Dianzhu did not really forget to mention it; he probably did it on purpose.

Clearly, what was being tested in this Spirit Technique Hall was not just discernment and patience, but also decisiveness. If one hesitated in the Spirit Technique Hall, they might end up with nothing.

"I've got it!"

Almost as soon as Yue Hao's voice faded, Xiao Xin suddenly reached out, and a green scroll appeared in her hand. However, the moment her palm grabbed the scroll, a green light membrane spread out, containing a tremendous force of repulsion.

The tremendous force of repulsion instantly spread out, causing Xiao Xin's body to tremble slightly. Clearly, this was a scroll of a mid-grade spirit technique. Xiao Xin's luck was not bad; she managed to encounter something like a blind cat meeting a dead rat.

Ignoring the trickle of blood from the corner of her mouth, Xiao Xin firmly held the scroll in her hand. After a moment of tension amidst the fluctuations, she finally put the scroll away.

Then, her gaze swept over the scroll, and a look of joy appeared on her face.

At the same time, Cheng Xuan and Guo Yan also smiled slightly, and they almost simultaneously made their move. However, their luck was not as good as Xiao Xin's, and they only obtained low-grade spirit techniques. However, with time almost running out, the two of them, though regretful, did not continue to choose and instead put the scrolls away.

Not long after Dianzhu Yue Hao's reminder, only Ye Zhong remained in the hall without obtaining anything.

Xiao Xin waved the spirit technique in her hand at Ye Zhong and huffed, "Little Junior Brother Ye Zhong, are you regretting it now? Why don't you ask someone to return the item to you? But I don't think she would be that generous."

Su Yu was also tense at this moment, "Ye Zhong, why don't I return the item to you, and I'll try again?"

Ye Zhong, however, shook his head slightly. After a moment, he smiled, "My luck isn't that bad, Senior Sister, just rest assured!"

With that, Ye Zhong moved, heading towards a stream of light at the edge. He reached out and grabbed the stream of light.

"Boom—"

A golden scroll appeared in the stream of light, but after a slight tremor, it directly broke free from Ye Zhong's grasp and darted to one side.

"What a slippery thing." This scene was also unexpected by Ye Zhong. The speed of the scroll was extremely fast, and even he did not react in time.

"Hehe, Junior Brother, it seems your luck isn't very good. The feeling of a bird flying away from your hand, isn't it great?" From behind, Cheng Xuan also smiled at Ye Zhong. He recognized that the scroll Ye Zhong had obtained was a mid-grade spirit technique, but before he could start feeling jealous, the thing had already run away.

"Is this a feeling, Senior Brother Cheng Xuan, that you are well aware of?" Ye Zhong turned back, looking at Cheng Xuan with a smile, then shook his head. Time was running out, and it would not be easy to obtain another mid-grade spirit technique. Thinking of this, Ye Zhong sighed. It seemed he could only temporarily take a low-grade spirit technique, so at least he wouldn't return empty-handed.

"Whoosh—"

However, just as Ye Zhong was about to make his move, suddenly, all the streams of light in the sky disappeared. Then, a bright light shone from the ceiling, and a strange, ancient sound echoed in the hall, making Ye Zhong and the others slightly stunned.

"Whoosh—"

Almost in the next moment, a dark red light, like a meteor, fell from the ceiling. In the dark red light, countless points of light continuously flickered, emitting a breath-taking aura.

"This is!?"

At this moment, the five people present were all stunned, their faces turning extremely ugly. Except for Ye Zhong, the other four people's eyes were filled with madness, clearly they did not expect this thing to appear.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"

Almost in the next moment, Su Yu, Xiao Xin, Guo Yan, and Cheng Xuan all made their move, quickly reaching out to grab the dark red light.

However, just as they were about to get close, the dark red light suddenly fluctuated and darted in another direction, which was precisely where Ye Zhong was standing.

"Ye Zhong! The thing inside might be the legendary attack spirit technique of our Star Formation Sect, which, when cultivated to its peak, has a power almost equivalent to a high-grade spirit technique!" Su Yu quickly said from behind.

"What!?"

Hearing this, Ye Zhong's eyes flashed. This spirit technique should be a mid-grade, but if it could reach the power of a high-grade spirit technique when cultivated to its peak, as Su Yu said, then this thing was extremely valuable!

Therefore, in the next moment, Ye Zhong's foot stepped down, and he quickly darted forward. At this moment, his speed was extremely fast, and almost in an impossible instant, he grabbed the scroll.

"Boom—"

A violent sound echoed, and an indescribable, terrifying force spread out, almost tearing Ye Zhong's arm apart in an instant.

"Damn!"

Ye Zhong's expression changed drastically. The force of repulsion on this scroll was several times stronger than that of the two mid-grade spirit techniques he had encountered earlier!

Seeing Ye Zhong's trembling arm, Xiao Xin and the others all showed a somewhat gloating smile.

"Ye Zhong, use your full strength, I'll help you!" Su Yu's expression changed, and she quickly shouted, appearing in front of Ye Zhong and shielding him. She knew that at this moment, she had to be fully prepared to guard against Xiao Xin and the others.

"Okay—"

Ye Zhong nodded slightly, and the force in his palm instantly burst out. Five Asura Sword Seals appeared in his palm, striking the scroll heavily.

"Boom—"

A tremendous force of repulsion echoed again, almost sending Ye Zhong flying. Ye Zhong felt a sweetness in his throat, and a taste of blood filled his mouth, but he did not let go.

The greater the force of repulsion, the stronger the item.

"Crack—"

Just as Ye Zhong was about to activate the Six Paths Burial Sword Technique in his body, a crisp sound suddenly came from the scroll in his palm. Then, the tremendous force of repulsion instantly disappeared, and the scroll obediently fell into Ye Zhong's hand.

Seeing this, Ye Zhong let out a sigh of relief. If the thing had flown away, he would have lost everything this time.

"Thank you, Senior Sister." Ye Zhong nodded at Su Yu. If she had not been present, he would not have dared to use his full strength, as he still had to be cautious about the other three.

"Red Sky Star Formation Finger, a mid-grade attack spirit technique. When cultivated to its peak, a single finger strike can pierce the sky like a red sky piercing the moon, with infinite power, equivalent to a high-grade attack spirit technique..."

Glancing at the scroll, Ye Zhong nodded. Currently, what he lacked most was an attack spirit technique. Although the Asura Sword Seal was good, the more spirit techniques one had, the better. Moreover, with his current strength, he could cultivate the Red Sky Star Formation Finger. According to its description, if he could cultivate it to its peak, its power would be extremely remarkable.

Besides, from what Su Yu said, the Red Sky Star Formation Finger might be the strongest spirit technique in the Star Formation Sect!

"Good stuff!"

After smiling, Ye Zhong flipped his hand and, under the surprised and uncertain gazes of Xiao Xin and the others, put the scroll away.

"Little guys, time's up!"

Almost as soon as Ye Zhong put away the Red Sky Star Formation Finger, Dianzhu Yue Hao's voice sounded, and the bronze door, which had been closed, opened again.

Seeing this, Ye Zhong and the others quickly left with varying expressions.

"Hehe, how about it? Everyone's harvest should be quite good, right?" Yue Hao smiled at everyone, "According to the rules of our Star Formation Sect, you can take the scrolls away for half a year, but during this half year, you cannot take the spirit techniques out of the Star Formation Sect. After half a year, you must return the scrolls. During this period, if anyone copies these spirit techniques, the old monsters in the Criminal Hall will teach you what will happen."

With that, Yue Hao casually waved his hand, and his figure disappeared, just as mysteriously as it had appeared.

Xiao Xin and the others looked at Ye Zhong strangely for a moment but did not say anything, just huffed and left.

Seeing Xiao Xin's somewhat embarrassed figure, Su Yu smiled with narrowed eyes. She did not expect that her little Junior Brother Ye Zhong would be so useful!
