5. Chapter 5: One of the Nine Heavens
As Xia Huang helped to send his biggest opponent to the sickbed, Lin Xuan's team, the third lady of the Lin family, was unrivaled in the district competition in the second district of the Martial Arts Academy.
"This woman will definitely break through to the second level of Qi Yang Realm within half a month, and her future will be bright."
This is a senior teacher's comment on Lin Xuan after watching Lin Xuan's competition performance. With this statement, Lin Xuan became famous instantly! He was promoted from District 2 to the real elite of the Martial Arts Academy. The total number is less than twenty, and he has always been in the first zone where only the second level of the Qi-Gouring Realm can enter.
Originally, the most favored student today was Ling Wu of the Ling family, but Ling Wu's unexpected absence completely turned the entire second-district match into Lin Xuan's stage!
...
At noon the next day after the district competition, Xia Huang came to the Martial Academy Library alone. The old rosaceabi who was responsible for guarding and cleaning the library stopped Xia Huang, and a pungent smell of alcohol continued to radiate from his mouth: "What are you doing in the library library? You should know the rules of the library. Without the dean's token, no one is allowed to enter the library."
Xia Huang did not answer and took out a bronze token from his arms and handed it to the old man rosacea.
This token represents an opportunity to enter the library. It was delivered to Xia Huang by Lin Fan on behalf of Lin Xuan at dusk yesterday.
After taking the bronze token with a large word Wu engraved, the old rosacea blinked his little eyes that could not tell the difference even if they were opened. Then he put the token in his mouth and bit it, and finally put it in his arms and nodded at Xia Huang.
"Get in. The rules of the library are that books cannot be lost, copied, or loaned to others without permission. They can only be borrowed for one month at a time."
"Yeah." Xia Huang had known this regulation for a long time, but when he heard the old rosacea repeat it, Xia Huang could not help but complain in his heart that the stingy and stingy dean who had decided this regulation was the most stingy and stingy dean.
This rule does not seem to be binding, but no one dares to try to violate the rule.
In fact, less than half a year after this regulation was settled, there was a guy who secretly copied the true secrets borrowed from the Martial Academy Library at home.
But the subsequent development of this matter exceeded everyone's expectations at that time!
That night, the man who secretly copied the truth secret was destroyed by a master who didn't even see his face in his secret room, and his cultivation was ruined. The copy he copied was also burned.
At that time, this incident shocked the entire Pingcheng. Some people speculated that the Martial Arts Academy must have hidden masters in charge, but the Martial Arts Academy remained silent.
No matter what the truth is, no one dared to violate the provisions of the Martial Arts Academy Library from that matter. Everyone honestly borrowed books, practiced honestly, and returned them honestly.
Xia Huang was also not interested in trying whether this rule works or not.
The old man rosacea was about to let Xia Huang in when he suddenly found the red iron block hanging on Xia Huang's chest, and his expression suddenly changed: "Boy, what is your relationship with Xia Iron Making?"
"Xia's iron scrimmage?" This was the first time Xia Huang heard this title, but there was no need to think about it and knew that this title must refer to his father, because there was no other blacksmith named Xia in Pingcheng, "It's my father."
"So you are the son he always talks about every day and never forgets to show off!" The old man rosacea's fat face was almost squeezed together because of his happiness.
"Do you know my dad?"
"Man with many years, hehe... hurry up and choose well, there is a good real tip inside!" The old man rosaceabi pointed out in his words.
Xia Huang nodded as if he was ignorant and walked into the library.
There are indeed many books in the library of Pingcheng Martial Arts Academy, but most of them are books of classics, history, and collections, or books related to agriculture, animal husbandry production, forging and sewing. The most valuable true secrets are only thirty or forty.
True secret is actually a general term.
Whether it is sword techniques, sword techniques, bow techniques, gun techniques, or some magic techniques, formations, as long as they need to be used based on true essence, they can be called true skills. True skills are divided into the upper and lower nine grades according to their strength and rareness, the first grade is the highest and the ninth grade is the lowest.
The collections in the library of Pingcheng Martial Arts Academy are basically all ninth grade true secrets.
These true techniques often have some exaggerated and seemingly powerful names, such as the Demon-Subduing Fist, and the Sky-Breaking Spike...
Xia Huang skipped this kind of true skills almost without even looking at it. After picking it, there are only two true skills that Xia Huang can see.
A type of sword called "Zi Frost Sword" is clearly marked as an eighth-grade sword technique!
Another type is called "One of the Nine Heavens". Before I read it, I don't know what type of true tip it is, and there is no marking grade!
"Has the mark on the 'Nine Heavens One' been accidentally removed? The guard said that there is a good true secret here. Does it refer to the 'Nine Heavens One' or the 'Purple Frost Sword'?" Xia Huang was a little hesitant.
I like the "Purple Frost Sword" because it is a level higher than other true techniques. The reason I like the "Nine Heavens One" is because Xia Huang instinctively feels that something special on the "Nine Heavens One" is attracting him.
What made him hesitate was that there seemed to be a layer of mist on the surface of this special attraction.
Xia Huang didn't know what this "fog" was, but it was certain that this "fog" would inevitably hinder his cultivation of "one of the nine heavens" at some point in the future.
After thinking quietly for half an hour, Xia Huang finally decided to choose "One of the Nine Heavens". A "Purple Frost Sword" represents stable and expected achievements, while "One of the Nine Heavens" represents infinite possibilities! Even though this is full of difficulties and obstacles, Xia Huang has never been a person who will retreat due to difficulties!
While Xia Huang opened the "One of the Nine Heavens", the "Zi Frost Sword" flew back to the bookshelf, and the bookshelf was immediately closed. This mechanism-like design is to prevent people entering the library from repeatedly checking various true tips in the library.
When you open the "One of the Nine Heavens", the first sentence makes Xia Huang intoxicated and unable to extricate himself.
"The world establishes three talents and opens up six consciousnesses, and the nine heavens will last forever. The height of the nine heavens is so high that it is hard to express. I will write 'one of them' to remember the tip of the slightest..."
The more you read it carefully, the harder Xia Huang could control herself. She sat alone in the library, and the blink of an eye of the day...
Outside the library, the night was as bright as ink and the stars were shining. The old man rosacea, who had finished cleaning work for the whole day, did not mean to enter the library and urge Xia Huang to leave. Instead, he opened a pot of fine wine and drank it all, lay on the marble floor outside the library gate, shaking his head.
"The sky is the tent and the ground is the felt, and the sun, moon and stars accompany me to sleep. I dare not stretch my feet long at night, for fear of stepping on the mountains, rivers and the country! I am afraid of stepping on the mountains, rivers and the country... Hahahaha!"
If such nonsense is heard by the people of the Empire, it will be a serious crime!
But the old man rosacea was not at all conscious of talking nonsense, stretched comfortably, burped, and fell asleep...
...
The next morning, Xia Huang, who had finished reading the entire volume of "One of the Nine Heavens" all night, breathed a long sigh.
The mystery in this "one of the nine heavens" is far beyond Xia Huang's imagination. There is no fixed true secret in it, but a set of true secrets are recorded. If you use a sword to make it, it is the Nine Heavens Sword; if you use a bow to make it, it is the Nine Heavens Bow; if you use a palm to make it, it is the Nine Heavens Palm...
Such a wonderful true secret is something you have never heard of!
What makes Xia Huang feel both regretful and expectant is that "one of the nine heavens" does not seem to be complete, and there should be a follow-up later.
However, this is not the issue Xia Huang should consider now.
Xia Huang pushed open the door of the library, and the old man who had a wine trough outside the door was still sleeping soundly. Even if Xia Huang shook him gently, he had no intention of waking up.
"What the hell is the dean thinking... Why did he send such a person to guard the library? If he fell asleep one day and another thief came, the library must be stolen by someone."
Perhaps hearing Xia Huang's complaint, the old rosacea rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up.
"Have you finished reading?" The tone of the old man Rosaceabi's words was as if he had been waiting for Xia Huang to come out.
"I've finished reading." Xia Huang did not borrow "One of the Nine Days" for one month in accordance with the prescribed permit scope, but returned it to the old man Rosacea. "I have recorded all the contents of this book and don't need to take it away."
The old man rosacea was not surprised at all, but instead showed a "should be like this".
Looking at Xia Huang's back as he gradually faded away, the old man Rosacea's pitiful squinting eyes flashed from time to time: "Nine Heavens, Nine Heavens... After so many years, the first person who could open Nine Heavens Ross has finally appeared! Xia Dawei stared at the cover of the Nine Heavens Ross for half his life, but he didn't expect that the person who opened Nine Heavens Ross was his adopted son... Hehe! After Xia Dawei knew that his son had opened Nine Heavens Ross, would he be happy or depressed?"
...
Time passed by three days without realizing it. During these three days, many Pingcheng residents who came to the Xia family's blacksmith shop to buy iron tools were surprised to find that the Xia family's blacksmith shop, which had been around for four days, had been without anyone there!
Xia Blacksmith had already gone out to the big city to purchase, while Xia Huang had been staying on the top of an unknown mountain not far from Pingcheng for the past three days.
Xia Huang stood on the top of the mountain with his sword, moving his body, flashing and slashing. The Nine Heavens Swords that flowed through the flowing clouds and water were performed one by one on the Xia Huang Jian, one move faster and one move better.
The Nine Heavens Sword is based on the Nine Heavens True Art, and there is no fixed sword-moving route. There are countless changes mixed in the middle. Almost every time Xia Huang uses his sword, the direction of the sword-moving style will become completely different.
And in the practice of sword after sword, Xia Huang's control of his true energy became more and more accurate.
How could the Nine Heavens Sword, which pays attention to moving around the world and moving with your heart, allow Xia Huang to waste his power for no reason?
Every time Xia Huang shakes his wrist and turns his arms, the power consumed is completely reflected on the sword edge of the long sword in his hand. Every minute of the true energy consumed also forms a thin layer of sword light on the sword!
Although this layer of sword light is meager, it has irreplaceable significance to Xia Huang!
This level of power control was something he had never had before!
On the morning of the third day, Xia Huang swung a new sword at the dawn light! The aura on his whole body instantly rose again!
Chapter completed!
