In the moment of crisis, Xiao Chen's mind became clear and he managed to dodge the attack at the last moment. Even so, his throat was still cut open and a trace of blood appeared. Xiao Chen was thankful for his luck.
Seeing that his move was dodged, Zhang He revealed a look of astonishment on his face. He immediately chased after Xiao Chen like a shadow, each sword faster than the one before, forcing Xiao Chen to not even have the time to catch his breath.
Xiao Chen thought quickly and knew it was time to run. Against Zhang He, who had a Spirit Weapon and was able to bring out the power of his Martial Spirit, he had no chance of winning. However, this battle allowed him to know his limits. If he were to fight bare-handed in front of a Martial Master, he would be at a disadvantage. In the future, he would have to act according to his own strength.
After dodging another sword strike, Xiao Chen stomped on the ground with his right foot. A few streams of Essence flowed into his feet and he used this force to retreat several meters. He even shot out two clumps of Purple Thunder True Fire in midair.
"Young Master Zhang, I will take my leave first. We will meet again in the future." Xiao Chen laughed loudly. He turned around and dashed forward.
Trying to leave? It's too late. Zhang He smiled coldly in his heart. Just as he was about to execute his movement technique to give chase, the two clumps of purple flames had already floated in front of him. Zhang He casually swung his sword twice, wanting to scatter the purple flames. Who knew that the moment the purple flames touched the sword, they would burst into flames. In an instant, they enveloped the Spirit Weapon. Zhang He was startled and hurriedly let go of the sword in his hand.
These two clumps of purple flames looked ordinary, but in reality, Xiao Chen had put in a lot of effort. He had practically compressed all the purple flames in his body. It was not something that Zhang He could casually extinguish with two swords.
Zhang He looked at the burning sword on the ground with some lingering fear. If this strange flame were to stick to his body, how scary would it be? Just thinking about it made Zhang He tremble in fear.
"Big Brother, why did you let him go? Quickly chase after him!" Zhang Zeyang, who was at the side, said.
When he heard this, Zhang He's heart was filled with anger. He could no longer hold back the blood that he had been suppressing in his throat. With a 'pu chi' sound, he spat it out. Zhang Zeyang, who was at the side, was so frightened that his face turned pale.
After returning to the Xiao Clan in a sorry state, Xiao Chen did not have the time to buy the herbs that he originally wanted to buy. He lay on the bed and casually threw the Blue Dragon Medicine Cauldron on the table. It seemed like he had to give up on his plan of refining medicine today.
Lying on the bed, Xiao Chen continuously thought about every detail of his fight with Zhang He today. If it was just a bare-handed fight, he might not be at a disadvantage. However, once Zhang He had a weapon and brought out the power of his Martial Spirit, he would not have any chance.
Zhang He's Martial Spirit was a Haotian Sword. In this world, there were many people whose Martial Spirits were holy objects that existed in the past. This Haotian Sword was such a Martial Spirit. The Haotian Sword was a holy object that existed in the Tianwu Continent ten thousand years ago. It had long since disappeared in the river of time.
Xiao Chen's Martial Spirit, the Blue Dragon, was also an ancient holy beast. There were also some people who had Martial Spirits that existed in the past. This kind of Martial Spirit had a unified name in the continent — Spiritual Martial Spirit.
Martial Spirits were spiritual, their might was unfathomable. For example, Zhang He, a Medial Grade Martial Master, was able to rely on the might of the Haotian Sword to release a sword Qi that only a Martial Saint could release, forcing Xiao Chen into a sorry state. This was the power of a Spiritual Martial Spirit.
In that case, what kind of special ability did my Blue Dragon Martial Spirit have? Xiao Chen had some doubts as he thought about it. Ever since he came to this world, there were only a few battles where he did not use the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit. Or rather, he did not take the initiative to use the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit. He completely relied on the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation to fight.
Logically speaking, his Blue Dragon Martial Spirit should not be weaker than Zhang He's Haotian Sword. How should he bring out the might of this Blue Dragon Martial Spirit?
Spirit Weapon!
Xiao Chen thought for a long time before he finally thought of a Spirit Weapon. He had to have a Spirit Weapon. Only then would he be able to bring out the full power of the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit. Otherwise, it would be a waste of this ancient holy beast Martial Spirit. Furthermore, most of the Moonstones left in the Thunder King's cave were useless. If he wanted to forge a high ranked Spirit Weapon, it should be more than enough.
As soon as he thought of it, Xiao Chen got up and changed into a new set of clothes. He washed the dirt and bloodstains on his face and left his independent courtyard. He headed towards the Xiao Clan's library.
Since he was going to prepare a Spirit Weapon, he naturally had to find a Martial Technique for using a weapon. Martial Techniques were something that could not be found in the Compendium of Cultivation. The only place he could go to was the Xiao Clan's library.
The entire Xiao Residence was extremely large. The library was located in the southeast of the Xiao Clan. It was quite a distance away from the courtyard that Xiao Chen resided in. Xiao Chen walked lazily on a small path in the Xiao Residence. After passing through a few gardens and courtyards, he arrived at the library.
The Xiao Clan's library had three floors. It contained all sorts of Cultivation Techniques and Martial Techniques. The first floor only had ordinary Yellow Ranked Cultivation Techniques and Martial Techniques. The second floor had Profound Ranked Cultivation Techniques and Martial Techniques. As for the third floor, it was somewhat mysterious. Ordinary Xiao Clan disciples did not know what was in there.
The Cultivation Techniques in the library were accumulated by the Xiao Clan over many years. Their value could not be underestimated. There were elite guards guarding the surroundings. Spirit Refinement cultivators did not even have the qualifications to enter this library. Only after reaching the Martial Disciple realm could one enter the first floor. Only after reaching the Martial Master realm could one enter the second floor. In the past, Xiao Chen was only at the 9th Grade of Spirit Refinement. Naturally, he could not enter. However, now that Xiao Chen had defeated Xiao Jian, no one could stop him from entering.
The library had always been very lively. At this moment, there were many Xiao Clan disciples on the first floor who were focused on the various Martial Techniques. When Xiao Chen entered, he immediately attracted the attention of these people. Sounds of discussion could be heard.
"Look, Xiao Chen is here …"
"What is he doing here? Isn't he only at the 9th Grade of Spirit Refinement? How can he have the qualifications to enter this library? "
"Are you a pig?! For him to be able to defeat Xiao Jian, his cultivation must have reached the Martial Disciple realm. Otherwise, the guards at the door would not have let him in. Those people are all Martial Grand Masters. "
"This trash has become so arrogant. You guys better lower your voices. If he hears you, who knows what will happen."
… …
Although the voices were soft, it still reached Xiao Chen's ears. Xiao Chen found it funny. He ignored the discussions of these people and went to look for the bookshelves for Martial Techniques. This was the first time he came to this place. The place was not small, so he spent some time before he found the bookshelves for Martial Techniques.
"Rapid Thunder Sword Technique, Medial Grade Yellow Ranked Martial Technique. This sword technique is divided into thirteen moves. When executed, each move is faster than the previous. With the speed of a thunderbolt, it can kill the enemy quickly."
"Huashan Splitting Strength, Inferior Grade Yellow Ranked Martial Technique. When practiced to Great Perfection, the strength of one saber strike is enough to split the mountains and split the seas."
"Revolving Spear Technique, Inferior Grade Yellow Ranked Martial Technique. Concentrates Essence on the spear, producing a revolving force. In battle, it can achieve an unexpected result."
… …
Xiao Chen looked through the books one by one. The more he read, the less interested he became. The highest ranked Martial Technique was only Medial Grade Yellow Ranked. There was not even a Superior Grade Yellow Ranked Martial Technique. Furthermore, the descriptions were somewhat exaggerated. It was just a Yellow Ranked Martial Technique. No matter how much one practiced it, it would not be able to split the mountains and split the seas.
Xiao Chen put down the Yellow Ranked Martial Technique book in his hand. The instant he lowered his head, he discovered a dusty and tattered Martial Technique book at the bottom corner of the bookshelf. Two blurry words appeared in front of Xiao Chen's eyes, attracting his attention.
Heaven Ranked!
Xiao Chen looked around. When he saw that there was no one around, he quickly and carefully picked it up. He was incomparably joyful in his heart. Looks like I have a lucky day. There is actually a Heaven Ranked Martial Technique on the first floor of the library. Furthermore, it has not been discovered by anyone.
Heaven Ranked Martial Technique — Dragon Subduing Slash. Xiao Chen slowly flipped through it. This Dragon Subduing Slash was a Saber Technique. There was a total of thirteen moves. Every move required an abundance of Essence to execute. With Xiao Chen's current cultivation, he might not even be able to execute the first move, Blue Dragon Emerging from the Sea.
Xiao Chen carefully put away this Dragon Subduing Slash. Then, he casually found a Medial Grade Yellow Ranked Martial Technique, Rushing Thunder Strike. Then, he went to look for the manager of the library, Xiao Jue. This Xiao Jue was the second brother of Xiao Chen's father. His cultivation had already reached the realm of Martial Grand Master many years ago. After that, he was injured and his cultivation dropped to the realm of Martial Master. Thus, he was sent by the clan to manage the library.
Seeing the Dragon Subduing Slash that Xiao Chen handed over, Xiao Jue was stunned for a while before saying, "Where did you find this Martial Technique?"
Could there be some mystery behind it? Xiao Chen suppressed the suspicions in his heart and told Xiao Jue honestly where he found this Dragon Subduing Slash.
After Xiao Jue heard it, he laughed out loud and said, "I have not seen this Martial Technique in a while. So it was hidden there. Nephew Xiao Chen, you cannot take this book out."
"Why?"
Xiao Jue said in a mocking tone, "Did you think that you got lucky and found a Heaven Ranked Martial Technique that no one had discovered? After you practiced it, your strength increased by leaps and bounds, killing everyone and becoming invincible?"
Xiao Chen, who had his thoughts seen through, said awkwardly, "What is the problem with this book? Since it is a Heaven Ranked Martial Technique, why can't the Xiao Clan disciples take it out?"
Xiao Jue sighed in disappointment and frustration, "When I was young, I asked the same question as you. Since it is a Heaven Ranked Martial Technique, why can't my Xiao Clan disciples practice it?"
After pausing for a while, Xiao Jue said sorrowfully, "This Martial Technique can only be practiced by those with the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit. If others practiced it, their bodies would explode and they would die. However, there has not been a Blue Dragon Martial Spirit in my Xiao Clan for a thousand years. This Martial Technique is like trash. Bringing it out would only harm people."
It was the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit again!
Xiao Chen's heart pounded fiercely. He did his best to maintain a calm expression as he said, "So it is like that. Then I will take it back for reference and send it back. I promise I won't practice it."
"That is not a problem. This Martial Technique is just a copy. If you take it back, don't return it. It would be troublesome if someone could not resist the temptation to practice it. However, Nephew Xiao Chen, don't try it. Many of the seniors of my Xiao Clan have died from their bodies exploding after practicing it. There are many similar cases."
Xiao Chen nodded his head and smiled, "I definitely won't. Second Uncle, don't worry. I will take my leave first."
"Second Uncle, why is there not a single Profound Ranked Martial Technique on the second floor?"
Just as Xiao Chen was about to leave, a familiar voice rang out. The person who spoke was Xiao Jian, who had just come down from the second floor. Xiao Chen was somewhat astonished and stopped in his tracks. Going up to the second floor meant that Xiao Jian had already broken through the bottleneck of peak Martial Disciple and officially became a Martial Disciple. This was truly surprising.
Xiao Jian, who was walking over with a few Martial Technique manuals, did not expect to meet Xiao Chen here. He was stunned for a while before smiling, "I did not expect to meet Second Brother here. Are you here to look for Martial Techniques as well?"
Xiao Jian looked the same as usual. He was dressed in blue and looked very capable. However, his eyes lacked the usual arrogance. However, Xiao Chen could still see a hidden hatred in his eyes.
It looked like the story between Xiao Jian and Xiao Jian was far from over.
As if to prove Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Jian slowly walked over and said in a low voice, "The duel between us has just begun. The humiliation I suffered that day, I will definitely return it to you several times over." Towards the end, Xiao Jian enunciated every word as he spoke through clenched teeth.
Who was the one who humiliated who first? All these years, when did you, Xiao Jian, not humiliate me? Have you ever thought about the humiliation that I, Xiao Chen, have suffered?
