On the third level of the Heavenly Star Pavilion, ancient bookshelves were neatly arranged within the spacious space. On top of these bookshelves, there were many different types of secret manuals.
"Top-tier Arterial Circulation Cultivation Arts as well as top-tier Mortal Innate Techniques. These are extremely rare even in Sky Harmony City. Here, there's an endless supply of them, and you can choose whatever you want to cultivate." Qin Wentian sighed. This was the power of resources. Other than the innate talent of the disciples nurtured by the major powers, it couldn't be separated from the vast amount of resources they had.
Qin Wentian didn't choose any cultivation arts, but rather, searched for the innate techniques he wanted.
"Falling Mountain Palms, Willow Leaves Movement Technique, Imperial Sword Art."
Upon seeing the Imperial Sword Art, Qin Wentian's eyes lit up as he called out, "Fatty, come over here."
Fan Le walked over, as Qin Wentian passed the Imperial Sword Art to him. "You have the innate talent bestowed by your Astral Soul, and is extremely suitable for controlling objects. This Imperial Sword Art is a beginner-level innate technique, are you interested?"
"Let me take a look." Fan Le received the Imperial Sword Art, as his eyes shone with a bright light.
Qin Wentian continued searching. Now that he had cultivated the Dragon Subduing Fist and the Thousand Hands Imprint, his attacks were already extremely tyrannical. Hence, he wasn't really interested in tyrannical innate techniques.
"9 Heavenly Garuda Movement Technique." Qin Wentian stopped in front of an innate technique, as an expression of interest appeared on his face. A top-tier Mortal Innate Technique from the third level actually had such a tyrannical name?
"9 Heavenly Garuda Movement Technique, Arterial Circulation Manual." As he flipped through the manual, Qin Wentian's attention was instantly drawn to it, as a sharp glint of light flickered in his eyes.
So it turned out that this secret manual was only the first volume of the Garuda Movement Technique, the Arterial Circulation Manual. Although it was only the Arterial Circulation Manual, it was already incomparably complex. It required one to devour demonic spirits and extract the essence of the demonic beasts to temper the Garuda Imprint.
Not only that, the 9 Heavenly Garuda Movement Technique only stated that it was the Arterial Circulation Manual, but it didn't specify how many manuals there were.
Qin Wentian took the manual and walked to a study table. There was an old man there, the guardian of the third level.
"Senior, does this set of Garuda Movement Technique have a Yuanfu scroll?" Qin Wentian asked as he pointed upwards.
The old man glanced at Qin Wentian as he laughed, "I advise you not to cultivate this innate technique. Although there's a Yuanfu manual on it, it's located on the 6th level of the Heavenly Star Pavilion. You don't know how long it would take for you to reach that level. Not only that, this innate technique is extremely difficult to cultivate. Even if you want to reach the Grand Completion stage of the Arterial Circulation manual, you'd still have to hunt many bird-type demonic beasts and refine them into the imprint of the Garuda."
"Moreover, it is very difficult to comprehend this Divine Ability."
Qin Wentian knew that the old man meant well. He smiled and asked, "Are there any better movement techniques on the third floor of the Heavenly Star Pavilion?"
"If I can successfully cultivate the Nine Heavens Garuda Skill, the other skills on this level will naturally be incomparable." The old man shook his head. However, it was extremely difficult to cultivate it.
"Understood, thank you senior for dispelling my doubts." Qin Wentian laughed as he continued searching for innate techniques. Initially, he wanted to cultivate an innate technique that was compatible with his Great Dreams Astral Soul. However, after searching the entire level, he still couldn't find one. This type of dream-related innate technique was simply too rare, and because he didn't have a compatible innate technique, his Great Dreams Astral Soul wasn't able to unleash its full potential.
Naturally, even if he didn't have a dream-related innate technique, his Great Dreams Astral Soul was still an Astral Soul from the 5th Heavenly Layer. The Astral Energy it emitted was still extremely tyrannical.
In the end, Qin Wentian only chose to borrow the Garuda Movement Technique. As for Fan Le, other than the Imperial Sword Technique, he also borrowed another innate technique before leaving the Heavenly Star Pavilion.
Just as Qin Wentian and Fan Le were on their way back, they were blocked.
The members of the Knight's Association blocked their path. Upon seeing the faces of these people, Fan Le's eyes narrowed in an extremely cold manner. These people were none other than the ones who had used a long spear to pierce through his body back then in the City of Illusions. They were all elites of the Knight's Association, and even the weakest among them was stronger than Murong Feng.
Their countenances were as cold as ice, and several students of the Emperor Star Academy were spectating from afar. That day, Qin Wentian went berserk and killed Murong Feng from the Knight's Association. Not only that, he even killed his way into the headquarters of the Knight's Association. This caused the reputation of the Knight's Association to fall to the ground. Not only that, the academy didn't even punish him, and directly released Qin Wentian.
The members of the Knight's Association were naturally infuriated. Not only that, the members of the Knight's Association were originally a bunch of geniuses from the aristocratic clans. All along, they were the ones who trampled on others. But today, they were trampled on. This was no longer a matter between Orchon and Qin Wentian, but a matter that concerned the dignity of the entire Knight's Association.
"That old fellow from the Emperor Star Academy actually released you just like that." Standing in front of Qin Wentian was a young man with a smile on his face. However, when this smile landed on Qin Wentian, it felt somewhat cold.
"How impolite of you." Upon hearing the other party directly referring to the old fellow from the Emperor Star Academy, Qin Wentian's lips curled up, as a sharp aura radiated from him.
"Where's Orchon?" Qin Wentian inquired.
"Orchon?" The eyes of the young man flickered. The arrogant Orchon, because of the matter regarding Qin Wentian, had been locked up by his clan, and was not allowed to come out until he broke through to the 9th level of Arterial Circulation.
Qin Wentian was the foster son of Qin Chuan of the Qin Clan in Sky Harmony City. Back then, it was rumored that he had killed Ye Lang. In their eyes, Qin Wentian was someone who looked down on the descendants of the Wu King. Sometimes, they couldn't understand why the current Emperor and the Ye Clan were so insistent on wiping out the Qin Clan.
They had heard that the Qin Clan was so poor that they didn't even have a few Yuan Meteor Stones.
But it was precisely this adopted son of the Qin Clan who possessed extraordinary talent. He stood in the Emperor Star Academy and killed Orchon's brother, Orfon, as well as Murong Feng from the Knight's Association. What was even funnier was that an ant whom they once thought they could easily squash, had actually obtained the favour of the Emperor Star Academy.
If they wanted to kill him, they would have to consider the attitude of the Emperor Star Academy.
After all, they were very clear that the waters of the Emperor Star Academy were extremely deep. Even the Royal Clan didn't dare to touch them, and could only do their best to nurture the Royal Academy, hoping that they would be able to contend against the Emperor Star Academy.
"Orchon must be thinking about how to kill you right now." The young man spat out, causing Qin Wentian's eyes to narrow. After which, a cold smile appeared on his face. The words of the young man made sense. Wasn't he the same? He wanted Orchon's life as well.
"You killed a member of our Knight's Association. Make a guess, how will we deal with you?" The young man continued. Qin Wentian and Fan Le stared at the members of the Knight's Association in front of them. Their gazes were akin to that of venomous snakes, as they scrutinized their bodies.
The eyes of Qin Wentian and Fan Le narrowed as they felt the coldness emanating from the young man. Although they were also thinking about how to kill the young man, their current strength was still inferior to the young man.
"What a pity, the Emperor Star Academy doesn't allow killing. If not, you would have already died countless times over." The young man took a step forward, and abruptly, a terrifying killing intent gushed towards Qin Wentian and Fan Le.
At the same time, the members of the Knight's Association also took a step forward, as an incomparably tyrannical pressure bore down on Qin Wentian and Fan Le. Both of them involuntarily retreated, as their countenances turned unsightly.
"The Royal Capital is not the Sky Harmony City. You will understand that even if you have some talent, you still have to keep a low profile. If not, you will die very quickly. That pitiful talent of yours will never be of any use." The young man took another step forward, causing the ground to rumble. The pressure he exuded was akin to the sharpness of a spear, piercing into Qin Wentian and Fan Le's bodies.
The threat in his words was blatant and undisguised.
No matter how talented a person was, if they couldn't mature, what use would they be?
"Stay your hand." At this moment, a shout drifted over from afar. The members of the Knight's Association turned their gazes over, only to see a graceful silhouette walking over.
"Senior Sister Rain." A gentle smile appeared on the young man's face when he saw who it was. So it turned out that this silhouette was a Yuanfu Realm student of the Emperor Star Academy, as well as a guest elder, Rain.
"Yanaro, as an upperclassman, you actually dare to bully a newbie?" Rain unhappily stated.
Despite hearing Rain's reprimand, the smile on Yanaro's face was still as gentle as ever. "This newbie is an extremely arrogant person. I only wanted him to understand some 'logic', but since Senior Sister has spoken, then …"
As the sound of his voice faded, Yanaro's silhouette abruptly moved. Qin Wentian instantly felt a sense of danger, only to see Yanaro's finger piercing towards him, as sharp as a sword.
"You …" Rain's countenance changed when she saw this scene. She wanted to stop it, but it was already too late. Qin Wentian's countenance stiffened, and the energy within his body instantly gushed forth. The Revolving Sea Imprint was incomparably tyrannical, yet Yanaro's finger seemed to be able to penetrate through everything, as it shone with a resplendent light, breaking apart the Revolving Sea Imprint and directly piercing into Qin Wentian's palm.
After doing all this, Yanaro's silhouette retreated in a graceful manner, while Qin Wentian also retreated backwards. Lifting his palm, Qin Wentian could see fresh blood flowing out unceasingly from his palm. His countenance involuntarily grew colder and colder.
"I hope you will be this lucky every time." Yanaro cast a glance at Rain, who was standing beside Qin Wentian, before turning around and departing with his group.
"Are you alright?" Rain turned to Qin Wentian as she asked.
"I'm fine. Thank you, Senior Sister." Qin Wentian smiled at Rain. Since he had decided to kill Murong Feng back then, he should have known that his future days would not be peaceful. However, he wasn't afraid at all.
On the contrary, he was filled with anticipation for these challenges.
During these few days, Qin Wentian had already deeply understood a certain principle. Regardless of who was behind him, that person would never be as reliable as himself. Only when one's own strength was sufficient, would they be able to control their own destiny.
