Chapter 94

Cao Potian?

This name...

I wonder what the relationship is between this person and Zhao Ritian and Long Aotian.

However, betraying one's master has always been a despised act. This person betrayed Master Ding, yet managed to successfully become a disciple of one of the three famous swords of White Cloud City. He must have some skills.

"Director, I also want to go to the Sword Trial to broaden my horizons. Can you take me there?"

Lin Beichen said.

Maybe I can help Ding San Shi a bit.

Chu Hen shook his head and said regretfully, "I'm afraid that's not possible. The Sword Trial sends out thirty-six invitations in total. Twelve are sent to the most prestigious nobles in the city, twelve to the sword masters in the city, and twelve to the young sword geniuses in the city. Each invitation is limited to one person. It was unexpected that I would receive an invitation this year. It would be even more impossible to take you there."

I see.

Lin Beichen had to give up.

"Where is Master Ding in seclusion? I want to visit him."

Lin Beichen said again.

Chu Hen replied, "Old Ding is in a life-or-death seclusion. You won't be able to see him now. Besides, you can't help him. It's best not to distract Old Ding at this time."

Lin Beichen felt a bit depressed when he heard this.

He knew Chu Hen was telling the truth, but the feeling of owing someone was very unpleasant.

"By the way, to prepare for the main event of the Young Hero Tournament, which starts in a month, the academy will organize a special training for the four of you. It is tentatively scheduled to start in ten days. Before that, you can request any martial arts techniques, resources, and related support you need, and the academy will try to meet them."

Chu Hen said.

Lin Beichen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "I want some mental techniques."

"You have cultivated mental power?" Chu Hen's eyes also lit up.

This is good news.

Once a martial artist masters mental power, the concept of facing enemies in battle changes completely.

Lin Beichen said, "During the training camp, I obtained a book called 'Introduction to Mental Power' from Ling Chen. I have made some progress, but I don't know how to use it specifically, so I need a mental technique."

This isn't something that needs to be hidden.

Chu Hen immediately smiled understandingly.

He had heard about the incident between Lin Beichen and Yunmeng City's top young hero, Ling Chen.

This isn't something he should interfere with. The two young men can handle it themselves.

"Mental techniques, the academy's secret library has a few. You can choose one yourself." Chu Hen said, taking out a small silver token, "This is the library access token. Why don't you find Yue Hongxiang from Class 8 and go together to choose suitable techniques? Each of you can choose up to three, don't be greedy."

"Thank you, Director Chu."

Lin Beichen was overjoyed, thanked him, and walked out of the office.

"By the way, after you finish choosing, report to the Sword Polishing Hall." Chu Hen called out loudly from behind, "The academy will conduct a comprehensive test of your current combat abilities to facilitate the planning of the subsequent special training."

"Okay, I understand."

Lin Beichen quickly left.

"This kid..."

Chu Hen smiled.

But when he turned his head and saw a letter with the royal sword emblem on the desk, a hint of worry appeared on his face.

...

It was break time.

Lin Beichen came to the door of Class 8 and peeked inside, seeing Yue Hongxiang sitting at her desk, surrounded by a group of girls.

He waved and smiled, "Yue Hongxiang."

Boom!

The atmosphere in Class 8 immediately heated up.

Who in the second year doesn't know Lin Beichen now?

The more notorious Lin Beichen was in the past, the more popular he is now.

In addition to his unprecedented high score in the preliminary competition, Lin Beichen's extremely high looks are also a major reason.

Now, not only are many female students crazy about Lin Beichen, but many male students also regard him as an idol.

When they saw Lin Beichen, many female students in Class 8 started to have stars in their eyes, covering their mouths to prevent themselves from screaming, and the male students' eyes also lit up.

Yue Hongxiang walked out gracefully and said, "Senior Lin, what do you need?"

Lin Beichen explained the matter of choosing the martial arts techniques and said, "Let's go now."

Yue Hongxiang nodded and said, "Okay."

The two walked shoulder to shoulder toward the library.

"Wow, are they together now?"

"Is Senior Lin pursuing Senior Yue?"

In the classroom, the students of Class 8 immediately burst into a flurry of gossip.

The prominent figures in the academy are always so attention-grabbing.

The library is located behind the third-year teaching building of the Third Academy. It is a key area of the academy, with a total of twenty instructors, both openly and secretly, guarding it, making it heavily fortified.

However, with Chu Hen's special access token, they naturally had a smooth journey.

The librarian was not the legendary old man with hidden strength, but a young and pretty female intern named Shao Li.

After checking the token, Shao Li stood up and led the two to the first-level security area, smiling, "The martial arts techniques suitable for you are all in this area. You can choose freely, but each of you is limited to three... You have the time of one incense stick to choose."

"Thank you."

"Thank you, Instructor."

After expressing their gratitude, the two began to choose.

Lin Beichen's eyes sparkled.

If he could use his phone to take pictures of all the techniques here, wouldn't it mean he could learn all of them?

He felt like a little rabbit who had entered a carrot cellar.

But after a round, his excitement was greatly reduced.

Because upon comparison, he found that most of the techniques stored in this area were one-star techniques, and the few two-star techniques were not comparable to the "Flower Moon Sword" and "Steal Fragrance Step" given by Ling Taixu, and had no practical learning value. Even if he generated an app on his phone, it would only waste battery power.

After some consideration, Lin Beichen took pictures of about ten two-star techniques.

Then, after a search, he finally found a mental technique called "Roar of the Evil Dragon."

After a brief flip through, Lin Beichen found that this mental technique was quite powerful, transforming mental power into a shockwave to directly attack the opponent's mind, combining both offense and defense, and was much more comprehensive than the other techniques.

"It looks very suitable for me, but the name is a bit embarrassing and strange..."

In the end, he still chose "Roar of the Evil Dragon."

Soon, the time of one incense stick passed.

Both had finished their selection.

"I chose 'Seven Plum Blossom Sword Technique,' 'Three Swallow Steps' movement technique, and 'Mystic Qi Surge' secret technique." Yue Hongxiang registered with the librarian Shao Li.

"Good choice."

Shao Li nodded and registered the books, then added, "Because this is a special situation, your borrowing period is three months. Return them when it's due."

"I chose this one."

Lin Beichen handed over the "Roar of the Evil Dragon" technique.

Shao Li looked surprised and said, "Huh? A mental technique? Just this one?"

Lin Beichen said, "Just this one is enough."

Shao Li didn't ask further and registered the book, then added, "If you regret it, you can come back and borrow more."

Lin Beichen thanked her and turned to leave with Yue Hongxiang.

Once their figures disappeared in the distance, Shao Li's calm face immediately turned into a fan girl's expression. She cupped her face and whispered, "No wonder he's a genius who set a record in the preliminary competition. He's really handsome. I really wanted to hug him and pinch his cheeks just now..."
