Chapter 58: Thundercloud Lightning Sword
Duan Chenfeng still wore a nonchalant expression as he stepped forward and casually browsed.
Qu Yiping moved to the opposite side with darkened features, scanning texts rapidly.
“Junior Brother Yu, why haven’t you chosen your cultivation techniques or Celestial Techniques yet?” Ye Yun asked Yu Minghong, who stood quietly nearby.
“How could I pick before Brother Ye?” Yu Minghong smiled faintly.
“Order matters little, and I’ve an extra chance,” Ye Yun read his intent. “You wish to assess your needs first?”
Yu Minghong nodded. “My strength lies in patience. I barely won by draining opponents’ spiritual power. I need techniques to bolster my reserves or reduce defensive consumption.”
“Focusing on existing strengths is wise when time limits improvement elsewhere,” Ye Yun agreed.
“My ordinary talent can’t match Brother Ye’s robust physique or vast spiritual power,” Yu Minghong sighed. “You’ve options—I’ve only necessities.”
“Mastering one aspect can defeat foes. Time’s short—choose quickly.”
With a nod, Yu Minghong darted toward glowing red texts.
Ye Yun stayed, deep in thought. His cultivation level remained low. Though strong in body and spiritual power, he lacked true offensive/defensive methods and proper cultivation techniques. The servant disciple outer court’s basic cultivation technique was crude, barely more than Internal Breathing regulation.
Top eight chose one technique and one Celestial Technique; top three gained an extra selection.
Ye Yun craved a fierce offensive Celestial Technique and a spirit stone absorption-boosting method. Raw power mattered less—if he refined stones faster, the black and white light’s pure energy would accelerate his cultivation beyond others.
He suddenly noticed faint light threads above each red-glowing text—red, black, green, blue, white.
Investigating, he found red threads marked offensive Celestial Techniques. He flipped through two books and chuckled—both contained solid attack methods.
Black threads denoted defense techniques. Green belonged to Tian Zhu Peak’s herbology and alchemy. Blue indicated ninth-tier Celestial Techniques for agility. White threads covered internal cultivation without combat applications.
Ye Yun focused on white threads first. Failing to find absorption speed techniques, a proper ninth-grade method would suffice.
After unknown time, he tapped a white thread. It dissolved, dropping a book that hovered before him.
Long River Great Art
A spiritual power cultivation method claiming “endless flow like mighty rivers” at peak mastery.
Disappointment crossed Ye Yun’s face. No stone-refining aid—just marginally prolonged spiritual reserves. The “endless” boast rang hollow. No technique offered infinite power.
His ordinary background hindered him—unfamiliar with true cultivation technique names, he faced disadvantages.
“Blood Transformation Divine Blade! Perfect!” A top eight disciple exulted over a red-glowing offensive technique.
“Aurora Shadow! This movement technique boosts survival odds!” another cried joyfully.
Laughter reminded others: the deadly sect trial required survival over offense. With inner disciples, elites, and true inheritors handling attacks, outer disciples needed defense. Even Qu Yiping realized high-tier techniques required unavailable training time.
Most rushed toward defense and agility techniques. Ye Yun slipped to red-glowing texts.
He needed an offensive Celestial Technique first. Limited experience made attack skills easier to choose than spiritual cultivation methods. Delaying risked losing both selections.
Mountain Breaking Staff of the Demon Ape! Dragon Subduing Fist! Starlight Palm! Small Zhou Tian Sword!…
After an hour skimming attack techniques, Ye Yun grabbed three books. After brief deliberation, he selected one.
Thundercloud Lightning Sword
Absorb Divine Thunder, condense lightning, strike with one sword, slay foes across thousand miles.
Sixteen stark characters graced the title page.
