Jianchen carefully read through the contents of the book before closing his eyes in thought. He silently went through the method of condensing a Radiant Shield in his head before suddenly opening his eyes. His gaze suddenly became sharp.
"Radiant Shield!" Jianchen enunciated every single word as he slowly raised his right hand. Dense Radiant Saint Force rapidly gathered in his hand, condensing into a meter-wide shield in just a few seconds.
The entire shield was illusory. It seemed like a ball of mist. Jianchen extended his right hand and actually passed through the shield without any obstruction.
Disappointment filled Jian Chen's eyes. The Radiant Shield was an extremely tough shield that could block powerful attacks. Although the shield he had condensed had the form, it did not have the ability to do so. It was just a decoration. It could not even block a breeze, let alone powerful attacks.
"Looks like grasping the Radiant Artes isn't an easy matter. Converting the gentle Radiant Saint Force into the tough Yang Force is just far too difficult. And according to the records, the true Radiant Shield is a tangible existence, tougher than steel. The Radiant Shield I condensed is only illusory. It's still far from being tangible," Jian Chen murmured to himself. Radiant Saint Force was different from the other elements. If it were any other element, Jianchen could easily condense it into a shield to block powerful attacks. However, using Radiant Saint Force to the same level as the other elements was not a simple matter.
The gentle nature and healing abilities of Radiant Saint Force naturally limited its growth. As a result, Radiant Saint Masters were publicly acknowledged as a group of people who posed no threat at all on the Tian Yuan Continent. They were as weak as ordinary people who could not cultivate Saint Force.
Although he had failed the first time, Jianchen did not become dejected at all. He carefully studied the description of converting Radiant Saint Force in the records again. He understood that converting Radiant Saint Force was an extremely crucial step if he wanted to learn the Radiant Artes.
Jianchen completely forgot about the time as he remained in the Tower of Radiance. All of his attention was focused on the book. The White Tiger did not disturb Jianchen either. It laid on Jianchen's shoulder quietly and constantly shook its head as it looked around curiously.
Half a day later, Jianchen slowly put down the book in his hand. He raised his right hand again and the Radiant Saint Force in the surroundings rapidly condensed, condensing into a meter-wide shield in the end.
Jianchen stared at the shield in his hand with interest before his eyes darkened. He sighed gently and said, "It still doesn't work. The shield is still illusionary. It looks like I haven't completely grasped the ability to convert Radiant Saint Force."
Jianchen dispersed the shield. He did not continue reading the book. Instead, he lowered his head and sank into his thoughts. He had already memorized the contents of the records in half a day. He could even recite them backwards, so there was no point in continuing. He only needed to grasp the method to convert Radiant Saint Force before he could continue with the rest of the lesson.
"Young man, you must be new." Suddenly, an old voice rang out, interrupting Jianchen's thoughts.
Jianchen looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old man in linen clothes wiping the tables, chairs, and walls nearby with a clean piece of paper. He did not make any sound at all.
Jianchen's eyes suddenly narrowed. He stared at the old man with his back to him and a sliver of shock flashed through his eyes. Although he had been in deep thought earlier, he still maintained his vigilance towards his surroundings in this unfamiliar environment. He had actually failed to sense when the old man had appeared. If the old man had not taken the initiative to speak, Jianchen probably would not have known that there was an extra person here.
"Young man, you're very impressive. Old Man has been here for so many years and has seen quite a few Class 6 Radiant Saint Masters, but basically all of them are over a hundred years old. You're the only one who has become a Class 6 Radiant Saint Master in your twenties." The old man spoke very slowly. His aged voice actually carried a sense of powerlessness, as if he was lacking in energy.
Jianchen stood up and clasped his hands at the old man. He said, "Yang Yutian greets senior." Jianchen was unable to see through the old man's strength. In Jianchen's eyes, the old man was just an extremely ordinary old man. There was nothing special about him. However, Jianchen was not naive enough to believe that. Instead, he felt that the old man was even more unfathomable.
"This old man is at the Seventh Heavenly Layer of Saint Ruler at the very least, or even above that!" Jianchen guessed inside. If a Seventh Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler purposefully hid their strength, it was completely possible for them to reach the same level as the old man.
"Yang Yutian, it's not difficult to learn Radiant Artes. What's difficult is converting Radiant Saint Force. The Class 6 Radiant Saint Masters who have just arrived have basically spent several years or even over a decade to completely grasp the ability to convert Radiant Saint Force. It's not something that can be done in a short amount of time. Take the book to the secret room above and comprehend it, just in case you destroy the things here," the old man said weakly. He seemed like a dying old man. From the beginning to the end, he did what he was doing. He did not even glance at Jianchen.
Jianchen clasped his hands at the old man and placed the book back on the shelf. Afterward, he made his way up. He planned on going to the secret room the old man had mentioned to continue comprehending.
There were quite a few secret rooms above. Every single one of them had a small wooden door, and behind the door was a small room enveloped by a barrier. Not only did the barrier possess great defensive power, but it also had the ability to block out all sounds, allowing people to cultivate without being disturbed.
Jianchen glanced around and discovered that many of the secret rooms had a Psychic Jade hanging on the door. It was a sign that the secret room had already been occupied.
Jianchen found a spacious secret room and took out the Psychic Jade from his Space Ring. He hung it on the door before directly entering the secret room to continue comprehending the ability to convert Radiant Saint Force.
In the blink of an eye, Jianchen had already spent half a month in the Tower of Radiance. During that time, Jianchen did not take a single step out of the secret room. He devoted himself to cultivating the Radiant Artes. Jianchen constantly fed the White Tiger heavenly resources during that time as well, allowing its strength to rapidly increase.
Jianchen sat on the cold ground calmly in the secret room. His hands were placed on his knees, and a shield that shone with gentle light hovered before him. The shield had completely materialized, making it seem like a pure-white rock.
Jianchen waved his hand slightly, and the shield immediately flew towards him slowly, hovering beside Jianchen. Jianchen knocked the shield gently, and it immediately produced a heavy thud.
Jianchen could not help but smile. After half a month of hard work, he had finally grasped the ability to convert Radiant Saint Force. He could condense Radiant Saint Force into something tangible now.
"This Radiant Shield can probably block the attacks of Great Saint Masters, but it'll definitely be destroyed by Earth Saint Masters. However, with my current abilities, I can definitely increase the defences of the shield by a few more levels. It should be able to block the attacks of Heaven Saint Masters," Jian Chen murmured to himself. A sliver of joy appeared in his eyes. Now that he had grasped the Radiant Shield that could block the attacks of Heaven Saint Masters, he no longer had to fear Heaven Saint Masters in the City of God.
Although Heaven Tier Battle Skills would not be able to harm his Chaotic Body at all, Jianchen would never expose his abilities as a fighter in the City of God. If his identity was exposed, all his previous efforts would be for naught. At the same time, he would face trouble from the Radiant Saint Master Union because he already knew some secrets that he should not know.
"I've basically grasped the Radiant Shield. I wonder if there are any more powerful defensive abilities than the Radiant Shield." Jianchen walked out of the room he had stayed in for half a month and returned to the bookshelf where the Radiant Artes were stored. He began to read through them one by one.
The old man that Jianchen had discovered half a month ago was nowhere to be found.
Although there were several dozen books on the bookshelf, most of them recorded things that Jianchen was not interested in. Only a few of them were cultivation methods for Radiant Artes.
"Radiant Sword!" Jianchen held a thick book in his hand. After flipping through it, he discovered that it was an offensive technique. Its ability was to condense Radiant Saint Force into a huge sword that possessed great offensive power. It could be used to control the attack with one's mind.
Jianchen memorized the location of the book before placing it back on the bookshelf. He continued to read through the other books.
"Sky Filled with Rain. Convert Radiant Saint Force into an extremely tough force. Condense it into the shape of raindrops and use your mind to control a group of people."
"Radiant Armor. Convert Radiant Saint Force into a combination of toughness and gentleness. Condense it into a suit of armor on the surface of the body to protect the wearer."
"Radiant Technique. Condense a humanoid figure that is exactly the same as the wearer wherever the Radiant Saint Force reaches. The figure does not fear any attacks."
"Void Manipulation. Condense Radiant Saint Force beneath the feet to allow the wearer to fly."
