The King of the Gods
Chapter 43: Star Finger
Seeing the elder's movements, Zhao Feng's eyes shone. The second floor of the Martial Arts Library was different from the first floor.
There were no real copies of the skills here, instead, they were replaced by jade tokens. There were not many words on the jade token that encapsulated martial arts abilities and they were not very specific. This means it is more difficult to distinguish which skills are strong or weak.
Zhao Feng couldn't steal a hundred skills like last time and then slowly passed through it.
Being the one guarding the Martial Arts Library, Elder Zhao clearly knew all skills well. What was more important was that Elder Zhao had seen his battle and understood its flaws.
“There are three top ranked martial arts here that are comparable to you. They are: [Lightening Wind Boxing], [Star Finger] and [Legs Striking Sky].” Elder Zhao took out three jade tokens.
All of these are offensive skills?
Zhao Feng was a little curious when he heard those names.
“Your offensive skills are too low, so the potential is limited. But you have practiced the Metal Wall Technique as a defensive skill, which is not far from a peak ranked martial art. If you ever find the Sacred Rank [Silver Wall Technique], it would be perfect.” Elder explained.
No wonder he is a Martial Master!
Zhao Feng agreed to what the elder said. His defense was already fine, so all he needed was offensive skills.
“These three peak ranked skills are all different: Stunning Wind Blows have wind attributes and use skills to break through power. When used with a high-level movement skill, the damage would double; the Star Finger condensed one's Inner Strength into a single point and could attack everything within a certain distance; Sky Striking Legs can create whirlwinds, attack many people and are very effective against human wave tactics.” Elder Zhao only explained three skills.
Zhao Feng felt moved by the three skills.
He could exert a lot of strength from training in any of these three skills.
"Which of the three is the most powerful?" Zhao Feng immediately asked.
Even though they were all top ranked, there was still a difference between them.
“Hehe, out of these three skills, the Star Finger was the strongest, even approaching Sacred Martial Arts. This was even better than Zhao Linlong's Spatial Cloud Finger, but the only problem was that it was extremely difficult to learn this skill and there were a number of dangers involved. Elder Zhao smiled.
"Then I'll choose that." Zhao Feng had no doubts at all.
He had seen Zhao Linlong's Spatial Cloud Finger and it was indeed powerful. And this Star Finger skill was even stronger than the Spatial Cloud Finger. After making sure that he wanted to pick a skill, Elder Zhao went and took a copy of the Star Finger.
Zhao Feng was a little excited as he received the old book. Immediately, the contents of the Star Finger entered Zhao Fengs mind. Star Fingers were broken down into six classes and the minimum requirement was the Fourth rank of the Martial Path. This finger skill condensed one's Inner Strength to the maximum. When it reached a low level, it could shoot straight through a two-inch-thick metal beam.
Some body strengthening techniques would not even be useful against this skill. Furthermore, this skill only cares about strength, nothing else.
"Hahaha, this is what I want." Zhao Feng was very happy.
"Star Dance has a great advantage and even if you haven't reached Seventh rank, but have reached fourth grade, you can attack through the air." Elder Zhao could not stop praising this skill.
Attacking through the air?
Zhao Fengs heart rippled. Everyone knew that only when a cultivator reached the seventh rank could their Inner Strength leave the body and attack through the air.
This meant that they did not need to fight at close range, instead they could attack through the air. This was the difference between the sixth and seventh rank. And the Star Finger peak rank skill could strike through the air even before one reached the seventh rank.
“This finger skill is two to three times harder to train. Some people considered it a half Sacred Level Skill. I have also coached this once but I was stuck in third grade for a long time and since it was too difficult to reach fourth grade, I gave up and started training other skills.” Elder Zhao looked at Zhao Feng elaborately but expectantly.
"Why is Elder Zhao so confident in me?" Said Zhao Feng.
“Because your understanding of martial arts is very deep. You have trained core and intermediate martial arts to the maximum level. You have even trained the Lightly Floating Ferry to a high level. ” Elder Zhao praised.
Zhao Feng immediately understood that Elder Zhao knew his comprehension was extremely high and that he might be able to train the Star Finger.
"Let me warn you." The elder's expression turned serious.
"Older please speak."
Elder Zhao's eyes turned sharp: "You will only have a chance to fight Zhao Linlong if you study the Star Finger and there is no certainty of winning."
Wh why?
Zhao Feng didn't understand, wasn't the Star Finger better than the Spatial Cloud Finger?
"This is because… "
Elder Zhao let out a long sigh: "Because Zhao Linlong came first and became the head of the sect's stepson, he not only got an additional thousand blood plants, he not only got an additional one thousand blood plants, he was also allowed to enter the third floor of the Martial Arts Library."
The third floor of the martial arts library?
The mysterious third floor?
Zhao Feng was surprised. Everyone knew that the second floor was mostly full of high ranking skills, and some peak ranking skills. As for the third floor it was only a legend.
After all, Zhao Feng's potential was no weaker than Zhao Linlong's.
Unfortunately, he was a side branch disciple, while Zhao Linlong was from the direct branch and the head stepson of the sect.
Even if Zhao Feng had defeated Zhao Linlong that day, his treatment would have been different.
“Older Zhao, can you tell me what's on the third floor? Could it be a legendary Holy ranked martial art? ” Zhao Fengs breathing rate increases.
A saint rank martial art was a legend; one could reach the Sacred Martial Path by cultivating it.
"Haha, do you think a small town like Sun Feather City could have a complete copy of a Holy martial art?" Elder Zhao shook his head but continued: "But Zhao Linlong did have a chance to gain enlightenment from a broken Sacred martial art."
Zhao Feng let out a long breath. Soon, Zhao Feng returned the original copy of the Star Finger to Elder Zhao.
"You don't want to copy it?" The elder said curiously.
“I've remembered it.” Zhao Feng did not decide to hide this.
Never forgetting is no big deal. Elder Zhao was surprised, but the happiness in his eyes was deeper; it seemed like Zhao Feng was indeed a genius.
Zhao Feng could still choose two high rank martial arts after choosing a peak rank skill. Elder Zhao recommended a movement skill named [Mild Micro Steps].
“This skill is rumored to be from the same origin as Lightly Floating Ferry and it is almost a high rank martial art.” He explains.
One peak ranked finger skill and one high ranked movement skill.
Zhao Feng could still pick one more skill. This time, he chose the [Wood Engineering].
The Withering Wood Technique was similar to the Hiding Air Technique, it could hide a person's aura and smell. According to the description if the Wood Technique was trained to a high level, cultivators could enter a state of 'false death' and escape the perception of the enemy.
"You have good eyesight, this skill has a very good effect." Elder Zhao smiled.
After choosing his skill, Zhao Feng thanked the elder and left.
Dengs! Dengs! Dengs…
Right at this moment, a step sounded from outside the library.
A total of three people stepped into the second level. The first was a white-robed old man, the second a peaceful middle-aged man and the last, a young man in golden clothes. The last person was Zhao Linlong!
Zhao Feng immediately bowed towards the first two: "This junior is looking at the elder and the sect head."
Then he glanced at the gold-clothed youth and said with a smile, "Sister Linglong."
“En.” The sect head and elders nodded.
But Zhao Linlong only looked at him faintly and averted his gaze without saying a word. This made Zhao Feng very awkward and irritated.
After all, Zhao Feng was third in the inner disciples, and although Zhao Linlong was the first, he could not ignore it.
"The head of the sect and the elders are here, is it possible .." guess Zhao Feng.
If they entered the second floor, only one was needed and not both. This meant that the two of them sent Zhao Linlong to the third floor. It seemed like what Elder Zhao said was true!
Zhao Feng started to get angry, but he soon recovered when he thought of the dimension in his left eye.
Zhao Feng headed straight for home.
Inside the room, he closed his eyes and three Star Finger skills, Lightly Micro Step and Withering Wood Technique appeared in his mind. Zhao Feng first tried studying Lightly Micro Step and found that his style was similar to Lightly Floating Ferry.
Half an hour later, he had reached the starting level!
Nightly.
Zhao Feng surprisingly discovered that when he used the Air Junction Breathing Technique with the Light Micro Step, it was even faster.
Over the next few days, he concentrated on new skills.
The Light Micro Step and Wood Technique were high-level martial arts and Zhao Feng found them very easy to learn. Not only was it due to the increase in enlightenment he had gained from his left eye, it was also because the Lightly Floating Ferry and Hiding Air Technique became a very solid foundation for the two of them.
Using only ten days, Zhao Feng had trained two skills to a high level.
Next he would train the most important skill, Star Finger! This finger skill was a peak ranked martial art that was difficult to develop, back then even Elder Zhao had not managed to train all of them.
