The Martial Arts Library was an important place for the Zhao Clan's martial arts. It contained all kinds of martial arts that had been passed down from generation to generation, so that the clan could continue to prosper.
Usually, the number and quality of martial arts manuals could measure the strength and power of a clan.
Zhao Feng remembered that the Zhao family of Qingye Town did not have such an institution.
The Martial Arts Library was divided into three levels.
The first level contained a large number of martial arts manuals, with a few middle ranked ones included.
The second level contained the essence of the clan's martial arts manuals. Most of them were high ranked, and there were even a few top ranked ones!
But the Second Level, Xuanwu Pavilion, could only be entered by martial artists who were at least of the fourth rank of the Martial Path.
As for the third level, it had always been a legend, and had never been opened to the public …
For Zhao Feng, not to mention the Second Level, Xuanwu Pavilion, even the first level contained martial arts manuals.
In the Zhao Clan, he had no background, and no talent. The Flaming Metal Fist was only a basic martial art, and compared to low ranked martial arts, there was a huge difference.
Now that he had reached the second rank of the Martial Path, he had the right to enter the first level of the Martial Arts Library and choose his own martial arts.
"The Zhao family is indeed one of the three great clans of Sun Feather City, above hundreds of other clans."
Zhao Feng stepped into the first level of the Martial Arts Library, feeling slightly nervous.
On the first level of the Martial Arts Library, one could see the figures of a few Zhao Clan disciples. They were all making the best use of their time to choose their own martial arts.
According to the rules, one could only enter the Martial Arts Library for half an hour.
Therefore, everyone who entered the Martial Arts Library was making every second count.
"I have half an hour to choose a middle ranked martial art, or two low ranked martial arts."
Zhao Feng took a deep breath, and his eyes swept across the shelves.
There were thousands of martial arts manuals on the first level of the Martial Arts Library, and each one was half an inch thick. To choose one or two suitable martial arts from such a large number of martial arts manuals was not an easy task.
"Crushing Stone Palm, Angry Dragon Fist, Willow Leaf Picking Star Sword, Heavenly Wind Wish Steps …"
All kinds of martial arts secret manuals dazzled Zhao Feng.
Whoosh! Whoosh! …
Zhao Feng quickly flipped through the first page of these martial arts manuals.
These secret manuals usually had a comprehensive summary on the first page.
Hurricane Blade: Blade technique like the wind, momentum like thunder, speed to win. Requirement: 1st rank of the Martial Path, average difficulty. Martial Arts Level: Low
Angry Dragon Fist: Able to increase the strength of the Qi and blood in the cultivator's body. Able to instantly condense Qi and blood, using its power to suppress others. Astonishing explosive power. It required one to be at the Second Rank of the Martial Path, and the difficulty was high. Martial Arts Level: Peak Intermediate Level.
[Heavenly Wind Ruyi Steps]: A close-combat footwork that uses slow movement. When cultivated to perfection, one can contend with several martial artists of the same level without being defeated. The requirement was the 1st rank of the Martial Path, but it required a certain level of comprehension. Martial Arts Level: Intermediate
[Iron Star Sand]: A horizontal cultivation method that strengthens the body and defense. When activated at full power, it can withstand the attacks of cultivators of the same level. When trained to a high level, it can withstand swords and blades with its body. The requirement was the 2nd rank of the Martial Path. The difficulty is high, and it requires great determination and perseverance. Martial Arts Level: Intermediate
… …
"The martial arts library's martial arts manuals really far surpass the foundational martial arts … …"
Zhao Feng was elated. Most of his attention was on the intermediate martial arts.
Just by looking through tens of martial arts manuals, Zhao Feng's heart was already moved a few times.
However, the martial arts library had a limit. When he reached the 2nd rank of the Martial Path, he could only bring out one intermediate martial arts manual.
If only he could bring out a few more … …
Zhao Feng's heart was filled with unwillingness and unwillingness: "Branch family disciples can only choose one intermediate martial art, but main family disciples can choose two."
To increase the speed of his selection, Zhao Feng secretly activated his left eye.
Even if he didn't use his left eye, Zhao Feng's reading speed was much faster than normal people.
Now that he used his left eye's ability, his reading speed increased by tens of times … …
Whoosh whoosh whoosh … …
Zhao Feng's left eye twitched as he flipped through these martial arts manuals at a terrifying speed.
He only needed to glance at these martial arts manuals to see them clearly.
After flipping through tens of manuals, Zhao Feng completely remembered the contents of the manuals and compared them with each other.
When he had flipped through fifty manuals, Zhao Feng suddenly realized something … …
Something's wrong!
Zhao Feng's hand that was flipping through the manuals suddenly froze.
Then, he recalled the contents of the manuals that he had read before.
Suddenly, the summary of the first page of the dozens of manuals appeared in his mind without missing a single word.
"This … …"
Zhao Feng's heart shook, but it was quickly replaced by extreme joy.
So, after merging with his left eye, Zhao Feng's memory greatly increased, it could be said that he had a photographic memory.
Especially when he purposely activated his left eye, the contents that he scanned through would be imprinted in his mind, unforgettable and incomparably deep.
Zhao Feng never would have thought that the legendary "Retentive Memory" would appear on him.
In the Green Flower Continent, there were many legends about geniuses, and photographic memory was one of them.
But a normal photographic memory was just a good memory, being able to remember 80-90% of the contents after seeing it once.
In comparison, Zhao Feng's photographic memory was much stronger, the contents that he had seen with his left eye would be imprinted in his mind, unforgettable for the rest of his life.
With this ability, in the Martial Arts Library, Zhao Feng could 'bring' a few more martial arts manuals out.
"Quick, quick, quick!"
Zhao Feng's face revealed a hint of craziness, as he quickly copied a martial arts manual that he had been interested in before.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh … …
He was extremely focused as he quickly flipped through the martial arts manual in his hands.
As long as his left eye scanned through the contents of the manual, no matter if it was words or images, he could instantly remember it.
A martial arts manual that was tens of pages long, was completely memorized by Zhao Feng in twenty breaths of time.
"Hahaha … photographic memory! That's great! "
Zhao Feng was extremely happy, and with an even crazier and faster speed, he 'scanned' the other martial arts manuals.
His actions naturally attracted the attention of the disciples in the first floor of the Martial Arts Library.
"Is this guy crazy?"
"Maybe it's because it's his first time in the Second Floor, Xuanwu Pavilion, and he's too excited."
The disciples noticed Zhao Feng's actions, and were slightly shocked as they shook their heads.
Time passed quickly …
Three-quarters of the hour had already passed.
Hu!
Zhao Feng let out a long breath, his mind was tired, but he could not hide the excitement in his heart.
Until now, he had already 'stolen' over a hundred martial arts manuals from the Martial Arts Library.
These martial arts manuals were all middle ranked martial arts, covering fist arts, palm arts, sword arts, breathing techniques, light footwork, defensive body training and many other aspects.
Because of the frequent use of his left eye, Zhao Feng's mental energy was greatly depleted, and he could not take it anymore.
Next, he slowly walked around the first floor of the "Martial Arts Library", and his powerful left eye scanned every corner.
Suddenly, Zhao Feng's left eye locked onto an old and moldy martial arts manual.
The reason why he paid attention to this martial arts manual was because Zhao Feng felt that the material of this manual was different from normal martial arts manuals.
Zhao Feng picked up the moldy martial arts manual, and saw three words written on it: 《Lightly Floating Ferry》.
He flipped to the first page.
《Lightly Floating Ferry》: High class martial arts, allows the cultivator to be as light as a swallow, walk on snow without leaving a trace, and float across rivers … When trained to the high level, the cultivator can create energy multiple times in the air, and can even fly for a short period of time! Requires one to be at the second rank of the Martial Path, and is extremely difficult to train. Combined with Inner Strength, the power is even greater. When trained to the highest level, no one under the seventh rank of the Martial Path will be able to match their speed!
Zhao Feng originally thought that it was just a normal martial arts manual, but when he saw the words "Second Life in the Air" and "Combined with Inner Strength", his eyes flashed.
"Second Life in the Air" had already surpassed all middle ranked martial arts, and most high ranked martial arts manuals could not achieve this.
"Combined with Inner Strength" meant that this martial arts manual could be used by martial artists at the fourth rank of the Martial Path and above.
The most terrifying part was the description at the end: When trained to the highest level, no one under the seventh rank of the Martial Path will be able to match their speed!
"How arrogant! Even some of the best martial arts would not dare to say something like this. "
Zhao Feng's eyes flashed, and without hesitation, he began to memorize the contents of 《Lightly Floating Ferry》.
He was a little surprised. Why was such a powerful martial arts manual placed at the bottom, as if no one was interested in it?
Very quickly, Zhao Feng found the reason.
When the book was flipped to a quarter of the way, the words at the back started to become blurred. The main reason was that the pages were dirty and moldy due to the passage of time.
In other words, this martial arts manual could only train the first quarter of the way.
"What a pity …"
Zhao Feng was very disappointed.
However, he did not give up. He activated his left eye and focused on the blurred words.
Using his left eye to its fullest, Zhao Feng could barely make out the words covered by the dirt. This was already more than ten times the limit of a human's eyesight.
After only reading one or two pages, Zhao Feng's mind was already exhausted. His left eye felt weak, and he had used up too much mental energy.
"As long as I bring this martial arts manual back, I will be able to slowly 'decipher' the rest of the contents."
Thinking about this, Zhao Feng took 《Lightly Floating Ferry》 and walked out of the martial arts library.
"《Lightly Floating Ferry》? You chose this martial arts manual? "
The white-robed elder's eyebrows furrowed.
"Yes."
Zhao Feng said respectfully.
"This martial arts manual has been around for thousands of years, and its mysteries far surpass that of a high ranked martial arts manual." Saying this, the white-robed elder's tone changed, "However, you can only read a quarter of the contents of this martial arts manual. More importantly, this martial arts manual is extremely difficult to train in. Even some of the geniuses in the clan have barely succeeded. Even if they succeed … it is only suitable for those below the fourth rank of the Martial Path, so its potential is limited. "
Finally, the white-robed elder warned him, "I advise you to change to another martial arts manual. Don't spend too much energy on it, or else you will never be able to break through the fourth rank of the Martial Path and become a true martial artist."
"Thank you for your advice, but I have already made up my mind."
Zhao Feng's face was calm.
Watching Zhao Feng leave, the white-robed elder shook his head, "Youngsters these days are always biting off more than they can chew."
He did not believe that Zhao Feng would be able to learn 《Lightly Floating Ferry》. Even if it was an incomplete martial art manual, so what if he succeeded?
After leaving the martial arts library, Zhao Feng returned home.
Sitting on his bed, he closed his eyes, and the contents of over a hundred martial arts manuals quickly appeared in his mind …
