The King of the Gods
Chapter 5: Choosing Martial Arts Skills
Beladiri Library is an important place in the clan, this place has a collection of books from various martial arts collected for hundreds of years. All of them were used to help the next generation, in the hope that they could advance the family clan.
Usually the number of clan members and the quality of his martial skills determined how strong the family clan was. Zhao Feng remembered that in the Green Leaf village, the Zhao family did not have a martial library.
The library is divided into 3 floors.
On the first floor there were many martial arts manuals, but most were low-level martial arts, and there were few books on middle-level martial arts.
On the second floor it seemed to have a book about the traditional secrets and techniques of the family clan. Most were high-level martial arts, there were even some that were peak levels! However, to be able to enter this second floor one must be at least at the 4th level of the Martial Path.
And on the third floor was just a rumor circulating. This section is never open to the public.
To Zhao Feng, the 2nd and 3rd floors looked so far away, even the first floor was just what he had dreamed of all along.
He had no background whatsoever in this clan, and someone like him or had special talent was not necessarily able to reach a high level in martial arts. The Iron Fire punch he had was only a skill at the basic martial level, and it was a weaker stance compared to the other martial arts at the low level.
However, after reaching the second level on the Martial Path, he was entitled to enter the first floor and choose a martial arts manual.
"It is fitting that the Zhao family clan become one of the 3 largest family clans in the Sun Feather city. Always at the top among the several hundred other family clans"
Zhao Feng stepped into the first floor, his breathing becoming fast. He could see some of Zhao's other disciples, yet they all used their time as best they could to choose martial arts books.
According to the rules, anyone entering this library only had half an hour to choose a martial arts book. So whoever comes in here tries not to waste time.
"I only have half an hour and I have to choose 1 middle-level martial arts or 2 low-level martial arts books" Zhao Feng took a deep breath and searched through all the bookshelves.
The first floor of the library has thousands of books and each book is 2 centimeters thick. To find one or two martial arts among thousands of books is certainly not easy.
"Stone Destroying Foot, Dragon Fury Punch, Leaf Splitting Sword, Airless Steps.. " These various types of martial arts and skills made Zhao Feng's eyes glow.
_Shuah! The shuah!_ Zhao Feng turned the pages of the book quickly straight to his first page. This martial arts book usually has a summary on the first page.
The Brutal Wing Knife, like the wind, was as strong as lightning, using its super speed to win. It takes a minimum of level 1 in the Martial Path, to train this ability with an average level of difficulty. Level: Low
Dragon Fury punch, can increase the strength of fighters, can channel all the power on one attack, it takes a minimum of level 2 in the Martial Path to train interpreters with a fairly heavy level of difficulty. Level: Peak of the intermediate level
Leg Wind. Close combat skills that use speed to win. If trained to the maximum potential, can fight with many people and will not lose. It takes a minimum of level 1 in the Martial path but with a high level of difficulty. Level : Intermediate.
Iron Sand. Increases the body's defense power. If activated optimally can fight with opponents of the same level. When trained by someone who has a higher level, it can be used to fend off sword and knife attacks. It takes a minimum of level 2 on the Martial Path and requires a strong will. Level : Intermediate.
******
_The martial arts skills in this library are much stronger than the skills at the basic level, as I thought.._
Zhao Feng was really excited, and the abilities he saw were mostly middle-level abilities. After looking at at at least 10 books, his heart had faltered a few times.
But the library has rules. He could only take one martial arts book at the intermediate level.
_If I could borrow some books, it would be better.._
Zhao Feng felt reluctant and he thought this was unfair. Disciples from the branch clan can only choose one intermediate-level martial arts book whereas disciples from the main clan can choose 2 books.
To speed up his choice, Zhao Feng started using his left eye.
With his left eye his appraisal speed increased by over 10 times..
_Shuah.shuah...._
Zhao Feng's left eye used incredible speed to look at all those martial skill books. He only needed to look once to understand everything. After looking at over 30 books, Zhao Feng then tried to recall the entire contents of the book and compare them.
As he browsed through over 50 books, Zhao Feng finally realized something strange and fell silent.
He tried to recall all the other books. In his memory, all the contents of the book sprang up and without a word was wrong or missing.
"It's..." Zhao Feng was trembling with pleasure.
After merging with his left eye, Zhao Feng's memory turned out to have also improved greatly. He only needs to see once and never forgets. Especially if he activated the ability of his left eye, all the contents of the book were gathered within his memory.
Zhao Feng never expected that he would be able to obtain the power of "Fotographic Relation". There were many rumors circulating about a genius from the Blue Flower Continent and the 'Fotographic Relish' ability they possessed.
However, this 'Fotographic Action' works for everyone who has a good memory, they only need to read occasionally and they will remember 80 to 90 percent of the contents of the book.
However, when compared to Zhao Feng's 'Fotographic Relation', his abilities looked clearer and stronger. He really won't forget everything!
With that ability in this Martial Library, it meant that Zhao Feng did not need to borrow books!
_Shuah shuah.._
His concentration level was at its maximum as he flipped through the pages of the book while trying to understand its contents. As long as the contents of the book were visible to his left eye, it would not matter whether it was a word or a picture, he remembered everything. Zhao Feng only needed 20 breaths to recall a 50-page book.
"Haha.. Photographic Memory! Nice one!" Zhao Feng felt incredible, and he grew even more crazed as he flipped through the pages of the book. This action caused some clan disciples to pay attention to him.
"I think he's going crazy.."
"Maybe it's the first time he's been here and been overzealous..."
Some clan disciples watched Zhao Feng while shaking their heads.
************
Time passed quickly and 20 minutes passed.
Hu!
Zhao Feng took a deep breath. He felt tired yet could not stop being excited by this new ability.
Currently, he had 'stealed' over 100 martial arts manuals!
Most of the managers are middle level. Including boxing, palm, sword, breathing, horses, defense and many more.
Zhao Feng used too much of the ability of his left eye so his mind had now become exhausted.
Next, Zhao Feng's left eye looked at the entire library and his gaze focused on an old martial arts book. The reason his gaze stopped on the book was because Zhao Feng felt that the material of the book was different compared to other books.
Zhao Feng picked up the book and on the cover it said: The Science of Lightening the Body
He opens the first page.
The Science of Lightening the Body, a high level of martial arts, can make fighters walk in the snow without leaving a trace, can cross rivers and make people feel like birds. If trained well, that person could do a Double Leap and fly for a while! It takes a minimum of the second level on the Martial Path and this level of training is very difficult. In addition, the inner energy will increase to learn this style. If it manages to reach a higher stage it will make the person become faster than anyone who is below level 7 Martial Path.
The first thing Zhao Feng thought about was that this was just a mere footwork. However after he saw the 'Double Leap' and 'High Deep Force' section there was a flick in his eyes.
'Double Leap' could surpass the limits of the intermediate level martial skill, even some fighters at higher levels could not do it! 'Higher Inner Force' means this skill is suitable for martial arts experts or level 4 fighters and above.
And the most amazing part is: When it reaches a higher stage it will make the person have super speed compared to everyone who is at level 7 Martial Path.
"really excessive! Even some fighters at the peak level of martial arts would not have the courage to say so," Zhao Feng's eyes twinkled and without hesitation, he began to read all the contents of the Body Lightening Science skill book.
Zhao Feng had a question stuck in his heart. If this is a high-skilled style, why is the book placed on the floor? And why would no one want to learn it?
Finally, Zhao Feng found the answer.
After reading a quarter page of the book, the words in the book began to look faded. The book is too old and starts to get rotten and moldy.
This book only has a quarter of the book.
"It's a shame..." Zhao Feng was very disappointed. But he did not give up and continued to use his left eye to look at the faded writings. Using all the power of his left eye, Zhao Feng could almost see the words in that moldy part, surpassing the sight of an ordinary human eye by 20 times.
After reading through the 2 pages, Zhao Feng could feel his mind growing tired and his left eye felt even more powerless.
If I bring home this book, I can read it slowly later, Zhao Feng thought and then took the Body Lightening Science skill book from the first floor of the martial library.
"Science Lightens the Body? You want to borrow this book?" Asked the white-robed Elder while furrowing his brows.
"Yes," Zhao Feng replied politely.
"This book has been here for thousands of years and there are some parts that far exceed the high level in martial arts," After saying so to Zhao Feng, the voice of the white-robed Elder changed. "However, only a quarter of the contents of this book can still be read. Important message for you: To be able to fully learn this style is very difficult, even some geniuses cannot do it. Although they could do so, it was likely that people below level 4 on the Martial Path were prohibited from doing so,"
In the end the white-robed Elder gave a warning "I suggest changing your choice of book, or you might not be able to break through level 4 on the Martial Path and not be able to become a true martial arts expert,"
"Thank you for the warning, Elder, but my heart has decided on it," Zhao Fengs face looked so calm.
When he saw Zhao Feng leave, the white-robed Elder shook his head and said, "Young people today always take books with the highest level possible,"
He believed Zhao Feng would not be able to fully learn the Science of Lightening the Body, and would falter, even if he could, which part of the book was capable of learning?
After leaving the library, Zhao Feng immediately went home.
Sitting on his bed, he closed his eyes and in his memory all the contents of the books of hundreds of martial arts books again popped up ....
