Chapter 14

The Sutra Pavilion is a crucial area of the academy. Zhang Qichu led Lin Feng to the Sutra Pavilion.

"I can't enter the Sutra Pavilion now; only you can go in. I'll wait for you outside," said Zhang Qichu.

"Alright," Lin Feng nodded.

He entered the Sutra Pavilion.

"Someone's coming, someone's coming."

As soon as Lin Feng entered, he heard a sharp cry. Following the sound, Lin Feng was greatly startled. It was a giant bird, about three meters tall, and it could speak.

"It's a monster!" Lin Feng shouted.

According to legend, some monsters, after cultivating great abilities, can speak human language.

Of course, monsters of this level are very powerful.

"Where's the monster? Don't eat me, don't eat me."

The giant bird was so scared that it fell to the ground, covering its eyes with its wings and pleading loudly.

Seeing the giant bird's performance, Lin Feng's mouth twitched violently.

This doesn't seem to be a monster. What monster is so weak?

"I said the monster is you," Lin Feng said to the giant bird.

"You're the monster, your whole family is monsters. I'm a handsome magpie," the giant bird said, baring its teeth and waving its claws.

Lin Feng stroked his chin and muttered, "Is there such a big magpie?"

"Brat, are you doubting your magpie uncle's words?" The magpie glared at Lin Feng with big eyes.

"Dead bird, go outside and guard the door."

At that moment, a large shoe sole was thrown, directly hitting the giant bird's head.

"It stinks, it stinks," the giant bird shouted in dissatisfaction.

"If you disturb my sleep again, I'll cook you and eat you," a chubby fat man walked out.

"Don't eat me, don't eat me, the meat stinks, the meat stinks." The giant bird shouted and ran out.

"I am Lin Feng, here to choose a cultivation technique," Lin Feng said.

The fat elder's eyes lit up, "You're the one who shone brightly during the inner courtyard test. Not bad, not bad. You look much more pleasant than I imagined. The Changhe Branch has done quite well this year by admitting a genius like you. When the four academies compete, we will rely on students like you to bring honor to the Changhe Branch. Follow me."

The fat elder led the way.

"May I ask what your name is, Senior?" Lin Feng asked.

"You can call me Elder Tianxuan," the fat elder said.

"Senior, what was that giant bird just now? How can it speak? It said it's a magpie. Is there such a big magpie in the world?"

Speaking of the bird, Elder Tianxuan had a very helpless expression, "Ten years ago, I encountered this spiritual bird in the wilderness. It was only the size of a palm at that time, and it could speak. I thought it was a spirit beast, so I brought it back to the academy. Who knew that this dead bird can only speak, is lazy, and eats a lot, but can't do anything else."

"Hey, fatso, don't speak ill of me," the giant bird shouted from outside.

"Disrespectful, I'll stew you tonight," Elder Tianxuan shouted.

"I'm wrong, don't stew me," the giant bird started to beg for mercy again.

Lin Feng followed Elder Tianxuan to the pavilion.

In the Sutra Pavilion, there are two levels of martial techniques: the Yellow Rank and the Mystic Rank. The first floor houses Yellow Rank techniques, with about a thousand books. The Yellow Rank is divided into four levels:初级, 中级, 高级, and 峰级.

Generally, new students joining the inner courtyard can only obtain Yellow Rank techniques. Only those who have made great contributions to the academy can receive Mystic Rank techniques as a reward.

However, Lin Feng's talent is astonishing, and the Changhe Branch clearly wants to focus on cultivating Lin Feng. That's why Gongyang Ming gave Lin Feng ten Da Li Fu Long Pills, and then asked Lin Feng to choose a Mystic Rank technique to cultivate.

"All the Mystic Rank techniques are here."

Elder Tianxuan led Lin Feng to the second floor.

On the bookshelf, there were over a dozen scrolls.

Lin Feng came to the scrolls and opened the first one.

Autumn Rain Sword Technique: The chill of autumn, the drizzle of evening rain, the sword forms a frosty cold, the sword intent is like autumn rain.

This Autumn Rain Sword Technique was created by a woman, carrying the sorrow of autumn.

Lin Feng put down the Autumn Rain Sword Technique and picked up the second scroll.

Mad Sword Slash: Gather all your true qi, condense it into a fierce sword qi. Once used, the sword qi will overwhelm the enemy like a storm.

Sword Draw Technique: Emphasizes speed, as fast as lightning. The enemy only sees the sword light before their head falls.

Spring Silk Sword Technique...

Lin Feng read through all the scrolls. They were all Yellow Rank initial level sword techniques, each with great power and its own characteristics.

Lin Feng picked up the last scroll and opened it.

Great Sun Changhe Sword Technique: Mystic Rank intermediate level. When this sword technique reaches its peak, the sword qi is like a long river, spanning the void.

This Great Sun Changhe Sword Technique is a treasure of the academy, with extraordinary power.

"Which one should I choose?" Lin Feng frowned slightly.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on a corner.

In that corner, there was another scroll, seemingly untouched for a long time, with a layer of dust on it.

"Hmm?"

Lin Feng was puzzled and opened the scroll.

"Blazing Sun Sword Technique: A legendary Earth Rank sword technique. When cultivated successfully, the blazing sun rises, and a single sword slash can bring the power of the sun to the world, with the ability to destroy heaven and earth."

"Earth Rank"!

Lin Feng was shocked. A sword technique of this level is absolutely legendary.

Elder Tianxuan, with narrowed eyes, said, "This Blazing Sun Sword Technique was once known as the first sword technique of the True Martial Kingdom, but it is incomplete. Anyone who cultivates the Blazing Sun Sword Technique will die from the uncontrollable Blazing Sun Sword Qi. So I advise you to put this scroll down and choose another one."

"An incomplete sword technique."

Lin Feng felt a bit regretful.

He was about to put the scroll down, but at that moment, the mysterious bead in his dantian emitted a slight vibration.

Lin Feng was startled. The mysterious bead in his dantian had a mysterious origin, and his transformation was closely related to it. Now, the bead was reacting, perhaps because of the Blazing Sun Sword Technique?

Lin Feng's heart stirred, "Elder, I have decided to choose this Blazing Sun Sword Technique."

"Hmph, young people are arrogant and won't turn back until they hit a wall." Elder Tianxuan coldly snorted, seemingly a bit angry, but then said, "Well, since you want to cultivate it, go ahead and practice. If you find that you can't control the sword qi in your body, stop immediately and come back. I'll give you another sword technique to cultivate."

Lin Feng was moved. Elder Tianxuan was giving him a second chance to choose a sword technique, which was against the rules. Elder Tianxuan's intentions were clearly well-meaning.

"Thank you, Elder. I will remember."

Lin Feng and Elder Tianxuan came outside.

The giant bird called out, "Out, out, it's so hot outside, so hot."

"Shut up, dead bird." Elder Tianxuan glared at the giant bird fiercely.

"I'll shut up, I'll shut up." The giant bird looked at Elder Tianxuan with a flattering expression.

"I'll take my leave."

Lin Feng bid farewell to Elder Tianxuan and walked out.

"Junior, which sword technique did you choose? Is it the Sword Draw Technique? Or the Nine Immortals Flying Heaven Sword Technique? Or the Mad Sword Slash? These sword techniques in the Mystic Rank each have their own characteristics and great power, and are suitable for our cultivation."

Zhang Qichu asked with a smile.

"This one," Lin Feng handed the scroll to Zhang Qichu.

Zhang Qichu took a look and exclaimed, "Blazing Sun Sword Technique. This Blazing Sun Sword Technique is said to be an Earth Rank sword technique with boundless power, but it can't be cultivated successfully. Why did you choose this sword technique, Junior? Let's go back and beg for another choice."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Senior, don't worry. I just want to study it. If I find anything wrong, I'll stop immediately. Elder Tianxuan said that if I can't cultivate it, I can choose another sword technique."

"If I can choose another one, that's better." Zhang Qichu nodded and handed the sword technique back to Lin Feng.

Returning to his residence, Lin Feng went back to his room and opened the Blazing Sun Sword Technique.

"This sword technique is missing a part, clearly incomplete, and can't be cultivated successfully. But the mysterious bead reacted because of this sword technique. I wonder why?"

Lin Feng thought to himself.

Buzz.

At that moment, the bead in Lin Feng's dantian moved slightly.

Then, a beam of dark light shot out, illuminating the Blazing Sun Sword Technique scroll.

Whoosh...

A series of characters floated in the air. The golden characters were exactly the same as those on the Blazing Sun Sword Technique scroll, but what shocked Lin Feng was that the floating sword technique automatically filled in the missing part.

Lin Feng exclaimed, "The mysterious bead actually completed the missing part of the Blazing Sun Sword Technique. This is too incredible!"

Lin Feng didn't hesitate and quickly memorized the sword technique, committing all the content to memory.
