Chapter 3: Ninefold Ocean Wave Fist
Su Mo ascended to the second floor, where his eyes were met with rows of antique-style bookshelves, each adorned with various ancient texts.
"Not returning it?" Su Heng's gaze turned cold as he said, "Su Mo, do you know what the consequences are for provoking me?"
The Elder of the Guard was taken aback for a moment, then sneered dismissively and muttered to himself: "Surely the family head has given you some precious elixir, but with your trash martial soul at the first level of the human rank, even if you break through to the Qi Refining stage, it will be difficult for you to make any progress in the future"
The young man looked at Su Mo with great surprise, and then his eyes were filled with disdain
"You, Su Mo, a worthless fool, dare to be arrogant in front of me." Su Heng's anger surged within him as he shouted, "Fool, I will say it again, return the secret manual to me and kneel down to apologize, otherwise I will break your legs"
However, now that Su Mo has awakened a trash martial soul, the other party has completely turned against him
"Consequences?" Su Mo smiled slightly and said, "I really don't know what the consequences are. Why don't you tell me what the consequences are?"
"You have already entered the first level of the Qi Refining Realm?" The elder guarding the pavilion was taken aback for a moment, then his expression turned cold as he said sharply, "Su Mo, you only awakened your martial soul yesterday, and it is merely a low-grade human-level martial soul. How could you possibly advance to the Qi Refining Realm so quickly? Even with a third-grade human-level martial soul, it would not be possible to progress this fast. Are you trying to deceive this elder?"
Returning it to you? It sounds as if it belongs to you!
"Su Mo, put down the 'Ninefold Ocean Wave Fist' manual," Su Heng said with a proud expression.
"Fool!" Su Mo glanced at Su Heng, too lazy to pay attention to him, and turned to leave.
Each level is further divided into three grades: lower grade, middle grade, and upper grade
Kneel down and apologize? Break both legs?
Su Mo got up early, and after a thorough grooming, he headed towards the family library.
After selecting the cultivation method, the next step is to choose the martial skills
Su Heng looked at Su Mo and disdainfully said, "Otherwise, with your mere first-level human-grade martial soul, it would be impossible for you to break through your cultivation even in a month's time"
Since Su Heng awakened his human-level fourth-tier martial soul, his status in the Su family has risen significantly, and everyone who sees him treats him with great courtesy
Su Heng was once again filled with rage, staring at Su Mo's departing figure, gritting his teeth
Otherwise, if one is never allowed to enter the library, the loss would be too great
The words of the Elder of the Guard caused Su Heng's heart to tremble, and his figure suddenly came to a halt
Immediately, Su Mo completely disregarded the Elder of the Library and turned to walk towards the second floor of the Library.
The Su family is one of the two prominent families in Linyang City, possessing a considerable number of martial arts techniques. The second floor of the library houses nearly one hundred secret texts.
Second layer
After flipping through seven or eight books of techniques, Su Mo ultimately chose the "Cloud Qi Formula"
After watching for a moment, Su Mo set aside the book "Fiery Skill" and continued to select.
Upon entering the library, Su Mo bowed to the elder in charge of the library and said
"Cloud Qi Technique", a first-level mid-grade cultivation method, this technique's true energy is relatively pure, achieving a balance between offense and defense
Su Modun was immediately intrigued and opened the secret manual to read: "Ninefold Ocean Wave Fist, a first-tier mid-grade martial skill, body like the vast sea, fist like the surging waves, with layers of fist strength, each layer stronger than the last"
"How I broke through my cultivation has nothing to do with you," Su Mo said coldly, and then ignored the other party, beginning to select the secret manuals.
Elder, I apologize, I will not violate the regulations of the Library." Su Heng suppressed the anger in his heart and quickly spoke to the Elder
Among the second floor, there is also a tall young man who is selecting a manual
"Rock Solid Skill", a first-level intermediate skill, cultivates a more substantial true energy, providing strong defensive capabilities
Su Heng also awakened his martial soul yesterday. Although the level of the awakened martial soul is not as high as that of Su Yu, it is still a human-level fourth rank martial soul, which is quite high.
Waste, I will make you pay for it
Elder, I wish to go to the second level to select the secret manuals
Su Mo, I did not expect that you have also advanced to the first level of Qi Refinement. I heard that yesterday, the head of the family purchased a 'Consolidation Pill' from the Herb Pavilion. Surely, it is with the help of this Consolidation Pill that you managed to break through your cultivation level
In this world, martial arts and techniques are divided into nine levels
Holding two secret manuals, Su Mo turned around and was about to leave when Su Heng suddenly blocked his way
Su Heng is quite familiar with Su Mo
In the past, when Su Mo was at the Su family, he was known as the number one genius, and Su Heng would flatter him in every possible way. Su Mo also treated Su Heng quite well, and the two had an excellent relationship
Su Mo picked up a manual once again, and his eyes couldn't help but brighten. Just by looking at the name, he could sense that this martial art was extraordinary
I understand, Elder, that my cultivation has already entered the first level of the Qi Refining Realm
Hmm? Ninefold Ocean Wave Fist
Su Heng!" Su Mo cast a glance at the other party
Su Heng let out a cold snort, and then he began to continue selecting the secret manuals.
Su Mo flipped through more than ten martial arts manuals, but none of them were satisfactory
Seek death!
Gentle Breeze Palm
However, members of the Su family can only enter the third level of the library if their cultivation reaches the seventh level of the Qi Refining Realm
The "Cloud Qi Technique" cultivates an exceptionally pure vital energy, resulting in strong offensive and defensive capabilities
Wuji San Shou
The Diamond Fist, this martial art is fierce and domineering, and when mastered, it can easily break stones and split rocks
When choosing a cultivation technique, one naturally needs to read several books in order to select the one that is most suitable for him
"You are lucky today, but if there is a next time, I will not spare you." Su Heng turned his head to look at Su Mo and said fiercely
Stop!
This ... ... has truly broken through
Su Mo
Very well, I will choose this one! After watching for a moment, Su Mo nodded in satisfaction
Hmph! Is it a deception? One can tell at a glance
Su Mo's expression darkened as he channeled his cultivation, instantly releasing the aura of the first level of the Qi Refining Realm
The Flying Sword Technique is rather ethereal, light, and magnificent
However, today he was provoked by a waste with a trash martial soul, which left him feeling extremely frustrated
Su Heng let out a cold shout, and as soon as his voice fell, the aura of his first level of Qi Refinement erupted wildly. A yellow light flickered behind him, urging his martial soul, and he was about to make a move
The following morning
Hmph! Just a useless person, thinking they are a genius?
"Flame Power", a first-level medium-grade skill, this skill cultivates true energy imbued with a strong flame power, resulting in high attack strength
A glimmer of cold light flashed in Su Mo's eyes as he said indifferently, "I would like to see how you intend to break my legs!"
Su Heng was able to reach the second floor. It seems that his cultivation has also broken through to the Qi Refining stage
The higher the level of martial arts cultivation, the stronger the power naturally becomes
Su Mo walked to the area of martial arts manuals, casually picked up a book, and began to read it
Su Mo let out a sneer and said, "What I have chosen is mine, and I will not give it to you"
In the past, Su Mo had not awakened his martial soul and could only study the most basic martial arts on the first floor of the library. Now that he has awakened his martial soul and entered the first level of the Qi Refining Realm, it is only natural for him to select martial techniques and skills suitable for the Qi Refining stage
The second floor of the library is filled entirely with first-tier mid-grade manuals, while only the third floor contains first-tier high-grade manuals
Although he really wanted to teach Su Mo a lesson, he did not dare to violate the regulations
I had my eye on this manual before, but I just hadn't made up my mind to choose it. Now, I have decided to select their boxing technique, so hurry up and return it to me!" Su Heng commanded, raising his head high.
Su Mo glanced at him and asked, "Su Heng, why should I put down this secret manual?"
The Elder of the Library is a stout old man. Upon hearing Su Mo's words, he replied indifferently: "Su Mo, only those who have reached the Qi Refining stage can enter the second level of the Library. There are no exceptions for anyone."
At that moment, the cold voice of the Elder Guardian suddenly echoed: "No fighting is allowed within the Library; those who violate this rule shall never set foot in the Library again!"
The Library Pavilion is a four-story tower that serves as the repository for the Su family's martial arts manuals
