Chapter 96

The Four Great Heavenly Kings are almost on par with the Palace Lord of the Yanhuang Palace.

Zhao Yuanji is not much older than Wei Zikun, and Wei Zikun can only serve as the Phoenix Hall Master in the Academy, which shows that the descendants of Wei Tiancang are not very ambitious.

Currently, those controlling the Tianfu are mostly disciples and brothers of Wei Tiancang.

"Senior Brother, he is Li Tianming, who has peak compatibility, I just heard the news," Zhao Yuanji glanced at Li Tianming.

"Yes, pick out three high-grade Origin-level battle techniques for him," Mu Yang said.

This was Li Tianming's request; three would be enough for him to study for a long time, otherwise, it would be too much to digest.

"Alright, Mo Lin, take your junior brother to pick out the battle techniques," Zhao Yuanji instructed.

A young man in black walked out of the Battle Merit Hall. He had long hair that reached his waist, delicate features, and looked like a refined scholar, with polite and proper manners.

He first bowed to Mu Yang, then made a gesture of invitation, saying, "Junior Brother Li, please follow me."

Li Tianming followed him, weaving through the Battle Merit Hall. This young man should be a disciple of the Battle Merit Heavenly King, named Mo Lin.

"Junior Brother Li, I just heard that you have peak compatibility, congratulations," Mo Lin smiled and turned back. He was a young man with a good temperament, unhurried and confident.

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

"You're welcome. This is the area for Origin-level battle techniques. The high-grade Origin-level battle techniques are in the innermost part. Junior Brother Li, you can choose on your own. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me," Mo Lin smiled.

He only guided and served, not inquiring about Li Tianming's other matters, as if to him, Li Tianming was no different from others.

However, ever since Li Tianming entered Tianfu, due to the events with Mu Qingqing and the Inheritance Hall, all Tianfu disciples would glance sideways and discuss him.

After thanking, Li Tianming entered the room.

This room was elegant and ancient, naturally not as luxurious as the Celestial Palace. All the battle techniques were placed on wooden bookshelves.

However, any book here was extremely valuable.

Li Tianming spent half a day selecting, needing to find the battle techniques that felt the most 'right' to him.

In the end, he first chose two high-grade Origin-level battle techniques.

The first was a movement technique named 'Flame Soul Flash.'

This movement technique was one level higher than the Shadow Step, maintaining the illusion of the shadow while using the profundity of the movement to create even faster speed, achieving a flashing effect.

When cultivated to the highest level, it would be like a flame ghost, flashing into view in an instant.

Moreover, it had various transformations, making it easy to dodge enemy attacks.

For Li Tianming, this was the most suitable movement technique he chose after considering many, and it was also the most suitable for Little Yellow Chicken.

This movement technique, he could practice, and with its small size, it could kill without a trace.

The second was a fist technique named 'Three Yang Heavy Punch.'

This fist technique was similar to Li Tianming's former Dragon Elephant Heavy Punch, but it incorporated the attribute of fiery sun, allowing them to better utilize the effects of their Eternal Hell Beast Essence.

This was a powerful, aggressive, and brutal fist technique, most suitable for his left dark arm.

When the beast claws clenched into a fist, the power was also fierce, absolutely capable of delivering an explosive force surpassing the Nether Fire Ghost Claw.

The beast technique 'Three Yang Heavy Claw' it carried was also suitable for Firefly.

The Three Yang Heavy Punch had three moves, and they were stacked attacks, with each punch's power increasing.

They were the First Yang Heavy Punch, the Double Yang Heavy Punch, and the Three Yang Heavy Punch!

Three punches, each more powerful than the last, who could withstand them?

Li Tianming still wanted to find a whip technique to pair with the fifth-stage beast weapon 'Flame Dragon Chain,' but he couldn't find one.

"Senior Brother Mo Lin," Li Tianming called out.

"Junior Brother Li, I'm here," Mo Lin walked in from outside.

Unexpectedly, after such a long time of selection, he had been standing outside, waiting motionless.

This level of courtesy earned Li Tianming's respect.

"By the way, what realm is Senior Brother Mo Lin?" Li Tianming smiled and asked.

Actually, they should be the same age.

"Level 8 of the Spirit Source Realm," Mo Lin said.

"What about the Yanhuang Stone compatibility?"

"This is where I fall short of Junior Brother Li. I can only cultivate in the fourth circle, I'm ashamed," Mo Lin laughed lightly.

That was a fourth-level compatibility.

"Amazing, Senior Brother Mo Lin truly lives up to being a disciple of the Battle Merit Heavenly King," Li Tianming praised. From the brief conversation, Mo Lin was no less impressive than Wei Guohao.

"I'm afraid of disgracing my master," Mo Lin smiled bitterly.

"Senior Brother Mo Lin, are you also going to the Abyss Battlefield soon?" Li Tianming asked.

"How did you know? However, my matter is not yet settled, I'm still waiting for the final result," Mo Lin said.

"What are you going to the Abyss Battlefield for?"

"This, I can't tell you for now, as Tianfu hasn't announced it. I hope Junior Brother understands," Mo Lin said.

"No problem," Li Tianming smiled, then asked, "Senior Brother Mo Lin, I want to find a whip technique, but I couldn't find one."

"Whip technique? I'll help you look."

He began searching inside. After about a quarter of an hour, he found a black book in a corner, took it out, but didn't hand it to Li Tianming.

"This is the only whip technique, but I can't give it to you for now," Mo Lin said.

"Why?"

"First, this is an Extraordinary Origin-level battle technique, the highest level among Origin-level battle techniques. Earlier, Deputy Palace Lord said to pick three high-grade Origin-level battle techniques, so I need to ask them again. Please understand, Junior Brother," Mo Lin said.

"Second, this battle technique is extremely powerful, vicious, and brutal, with great killing power, unsuitable for sparring among disciples, only suitable for killing."

"Third, your realm is not high enough, and you might find it difficult to master and comprehend," Mo Lin said seriously.

"No problem, Senior Brother can let me take a look first, then go and confirm with Deputy Palace Lord. Just tell him I want this battle technique," Li Tianming said.

"Alright."

"Thank you."

Mo Lin handed the black book to Li Tianming and left.

He was very serious about his work because Mu Yang indeed said to pick three high-grade Origin-level battle techniques, not Extraordinary. Extraordinary Origin-level battle techniques were the highest level, and one was hard to come by.

This Extraordinary Origin-level battle technique was named 'Seven Soul-Killing Whip.' Just the name suggested a whip technique filled with killing intent.

Li Tianming read the introduction. The Seven Soul-Killing Whip had seven moves, each move soul-killing.

Its greatest feature was the ability to vibrate the whip, producing a sound like the wailing of ghosts, interfering with the enemy's hearing, similar to a mental suppression.

"Sound attack? Combined with my Spirit-Bewitching Eye, can it form the greatest impact on the enemy's will?"

The introduction of the Seven Soul-Killing Whip stated that the sound produced by the vibration of the whip, over time, could even make people hallucinate, thinking they were surrounded by evil spirits.

With each move, an additional evil spirit would appear by their side!

Indeed, it was a vicious whip technique, and using a steel chain would make it even more terrifying, as chains were more likely to produce sound.

However, Li Tianming liked it.

Before he could read it thoroughly, Mo Lin came in, smiling, "Junior Brother Li, congratulations. Deputy Palace Lord said you can take whatever you choose. It seems Deputy Palace Lord trusts you."

It was settled.

"Thank you again, Senior Brother Mo Lin."

"You're welcome."

With the three battle techniques in hand, Li Tianming followed him out.

In the courtyard, Mu Yang and Zhao Yuanji were playing chess. When Li Tianming came out, a game had just ended, and Zhao Yuanji had won.

"Thirty years of chess, and you're still a rookie," Zhao Yuanji laughed.

"Knowing it in your heart is enough, don't say it out loud, give me some face," Mu Yang stood up, waved to Li Tianming, and said, "Let's go."

"Senior Brother, no need to see me off."

"Need to."

"Alright."

Thus, Li Tianming was escorted out of the Battle Merit Hall.

"I'll leave first. If you need anything, come to the Mu Mansion. Remember to focus on cultivation." As soon as he said this, Mu Yang vanished, as fast as lightning.

Li Tianming wanted to ask about the Abyss Battlefield, but he had already run off.

"Never mind, I'll ask Jiang Qingluan. It's a good time to see Lin'er."

In the morning, Li Tianming had gone to the 'Shiyun Pavilion,' and now it was evening.

If he went at night, Jiang Qingluan might not open the door, so Li Tianming returned to his residence, spent the night studying the new battle techniques, and continued cultivating the 'Spirit-Bewitching Eye.'

"Will the 'Heavenly Soul Scripture' reach the 'Heavenly Eye' level, opening the door to the 'Heavenly Illusion Realm'? What is the Heavenly Illusion Realm?"

Li Tianming was very curious, so he never neglected the cultivation of the Spirit-Bewitching Eye, continuing to strengthen the third eye's Spirit Pulse.

He cultivated until the middle of the night.

Under the moonlight, Li Tianming took out the second egg from the Companion Space.

As soon as he placed it on the table, the egg was still shaking, indicating that the little life inside was still active.

"Hey, you, you've been shaking for one or two months, when are you coming out?"

Li Tianming had been waiting for it for a long time, but it was so patient, refusing to come out.

One could imagine that when it hatched, it would definitely be a lazy one, unlike Little Yellow Chicken, who was always jumping around.

After fiddling with it for a while, the little thing still didn't break out of the shell, so Li Tianming put it back in the Companion Space, letting it hatch slowly.

There was no rush, as a Primordial Chaos Giant Beast was already enough to deal with.

Firefly had gone off to catch bugs somewhere.

"Brother, I have a good thing for you." Just as he mentioned it, it sneaked back in.

"What?"

A red belly band flew over, covering Li Tianming's head.

"Jiang Qingluan's, you explain to her tomorrow, ha ha!"

"Firefly, are you crazy!"

Li Tianming quickly burned it with fire, or Jiang Qingluan would drag him into the palace to be a eunuch.

This little chicken, so mischievous, unforgivable.

Unfortunately, Li Tianming couldn't do anything about it.

The next morning, Li Tianming went to the Shiyun Pavilion.

Because Little Yellow Chicken had stolen the red belly band last night, Li Tianming felt a bit guilty.

"Mustn't show any signs, or how will Lin'er see me, right!" He took a deep breath and continued knocking on the door.

Inside, there was a commotion, and it took a while for Jiang Qingluan to open the door, looking unhappy.

"Where's Lin'er?"

"She's inside getting dressed. Why are you here again?" Jiang Qingluan glared at him.

"Why can't I come?" Li Tianming walked in confidently, noticing Jiang Qingluan's angry face, which might be related to the red belly band.

"Brother, the red belly band you used to wipe your nose last night, with the Phoenix embroidered on it, is it the Companion Beast of Princess Qing?" Firefly suddenly said.

"Li Tianming!" Jiang Qingluan instantly turned around, her eyes blazing.

"Misunderstanding."

Before he could finish, Jiang Qingluan jumped on him, almost choking him to unconsciousness...
