Today is the first day of the Fu Academy Grand Competition.
The Grand Tournament of the Talisman Academy was still held at the martial arts arena.
When Zhao Ziyi and Song Chen arrived at the scene, they saw a huge crowd that completely surrounded the arena.
"Go Song Chen! I believe in you!"
Zhao Ziyi shouted loudly to cheer on Song Chen, completely unafraid of the strange looks from others.
Song Chen smiled and patted his head, then turned and walked towards the dueling platform.
Those around him who were talisman cultivators felt a mix of emotions upon seeing Song Chen.
"I seem to feel an invisible pressure."
"I used to laugh at those alchemists, but now that I'm standing on the competition field with Song Chen, I realize how terrifying he is."
"I wonder how good Song Chen is at making talismans. Making talismans is completely different from alchemy."
"The merchants who opened the casino didn't set up their stalls, so I think Song Chen's talisman-making skills must be very high."
Song Chen smiled at the surrounding cultivators, his gentle and refined appearance winning the favor of most people.
"The assessment begins. The first elimination round: Draw a third-grade talisman, the Cloud-Soaring Talisman. Each person will have three talisman papers. The competition begins!"
...
Unsurprisingly, Song Chen's talisman skills remained superb.
Others are still grinding the talisman-making liquid.
Song Chen's brush moved with divine skill, sketching out three talismans in just a few seconds.
After the match, Song Chen was far ahead of the others, turning them into dust.
The elders of Fufeng had a premonition that they might also have to go to the Weapon Refining Peak to snatch people away.
In the preliminary rounds, you can leave once you've drawn the talisman.
After Song Chen finished drawing the talisman, he left the arena with Zhao Ziyi, under the gaze of tens of thousands of people.
He received a communication talisman as soon as he arrived at the nameless mountain peak.
[The first-place winner of the Dan Academy competition will be awarded a cultivation technique book that can be selected from the second floor of the library.]
Song Chen turned his head with some surprise and said:
"Ziyi, let's go to the library. We can go to the second floor of the library to choose some martial arts manuals!"
"Really? Let's go!"
Zhao Ziyi released his spiritual energy and activated his flying sword.
The two hurried to the library.
One hour later.
Zhao Ziyi sheathed his flying sword and landed next to a circular building.
This is the Xianheyuan Library.
The library is a building constructed entirely of wood.
Its appearance is simple and grand, with a sense of historical weight.
"Song Chen, go to the second floor to read the books. I'll stay on the first floor and look at the sword techniques."
Zhao Ziyi escorted Song Chen to the second floor, and then sat down on the first floor.
The second floor of the library.
As soon as Song Chen stepped into the second floor of the library, he felt his mind become clear.
He looked around and saw that the second-floor library was completely different from the first floor.
There are no densely packed bookshelves here; all the books shimmer and float in the air.
There is a tip on the left side of the entrance.
Song Chen stared intently at the rules of the second-floor library.
[On the second floor of the library, all books are at least on the fifth tier.]
[The practice will automatically select a successor based on the type of meditation you require.]
Song Chen was somewhat shocked. The cultivation manuals on the second floor of the library were all above the fifth rank.
The cultivation techniques are divided into ten levels.
The first order is the lowest, and the tenth order is the highest.
It is said that each level of cultivation technique corresponds to the cultivator's highest cultivation level.
First-tier cultivation techniques are created by those in the Qi Refining stage.
Second-tier cultivation techniques are created by those in the Foundation Establishment stage.
Third-tier cultivation technique, Golden Core stage.
Fourth-tier cultivation technique, Nascent Soul stage.
Fifth-order cultivation technique, Nascent Soul stage.
The cultivation world on the Tianyan Continent has existed for hundreds of thousands of years.
During this period, countless talented individuals and geniuses have perfected their cultivation techniques.
Everyone can find a suitable manual to practice.
Currently, all cultivators in Xianhe Garden are practicing the fourth-tier cultivation technique.
However, the second floor of the library contained cultivation techniques of the fifth rank or higher!
Even the secret manuals can select cultivators!
This is unheard of!
Song Chen swallowed.
The fifth rank is already the Nascent Soul stage.
It is the highest cultivation level in the Tianyan Continent.
What about the fifth rank and above?
Above the Nascent Soul stage, are there even more powerful cultivators?
Song Chen was shaken. He adjusted his breathing, took a step forward, and officially entered the second floor of the library.
He closed his eyes, repeating a sentence in his mind.
"I want a body-refining technique that can withstand lightning tribulations."
He repeated the sentence three times before opening his eyes.
What catches the eye is a tattered book.
The books were damaged, and there was a burnt smell.
Song Chen reached out his hand, and the cultivation technique automatically fell into his grasp.
The moment Song Chen received the book, his consciousness trembled violently.
The cultivation technique was actually meant to crawl into his mind on its own.
Song Chen quickly shielded his divine sense.
If the direct cultivation method were to flood his mind, he wouldn't be far from becoming an idiot.
After suppressing the books, Song Chen slowly released his divine sense.
The content of the exercise, like a gentle stream, seeps into my memory.
Song Chen gradually closed his eyes, comprehending the cultivation technique.
Having grasped all the content, Song Chen opened his eyes.
There was surprise in his eyes.
This body-refining technique is called "The Devouring Elephant Mystic Technique," and it is a fifth-tier technique.
This "象" is not the same as the "象" in "大象" (elephant).
Rather, it refers to the shape or form of all things.
Everything in the world has a shape. When the "Elephant Devouring Technique" is cultivated to its highest level, one can resolve all tangible damage with just the physical body.
The tattered copy of "The Devouring Elephant Mystic Art" broke free from Song Chen's control and flew back to the second-floor library, where it floated in the air.

Outside Langya Academy.
In a secret room.
Mu Feng stretched his waist and lifted the hem of his shirt that had slipped off his shoulder.
He stared at the large mirror by the bedside, in which a stunningly beautiful woman was reflected.
The beauty's face was so pure and holy that it tempted one to defile it.
He curled his lips into a smile as he looked in the mirror.
That smile was like an iceberg melting, instantly bringing the person in the mirror to life.
No one can resist such charm.
In just six months, Mu Feng's demeanor changed dramatically.
He used to have a captivating and alluring charm, a seductive and sensual quality.
But now, beneath his aloof demeanor lies a hidden tenderness, making him even more alluring.
"Su Zhen, Su Zhen, it would be such a waste not to use such outstanding looks and temperament."
"Why don't I make good use of this?"
Beneath his bed lay a head, the very head of Su Zhen, the female cultivator he had competed with for first place in the Sword Peak Competition.
Beside the head was a blood-stained Langya Academy uniform.
Suddenly, Mu Feng felt a divine sense sweep across the secret chamber.
With a wave of his hand, all the items in the secret room vanished instantly.
He stored all the evidence in his spiritual field space.
After some time had passed.
Mu Feng received a communication talisman.
Wuchen's voice rang out:
"Return to the academy immediately! The dean wants to see you."
Mu Feng's face lit up with joy upon hearing this.
He quickly left the secret chamber and the bamboo forest, riding his flying sword back to the academy.
**
Langya Academy.
Jianfeng Square.
The elders stood on the platform, whispering amongst themselves, discussing something.
The trainees are quickly gathering and rushing over.
When Mu Feng arrived at the square, he attracted everyone's attention.
"Look, it's Mu Feng!"
"Mu Feng looks even better!"
"I feel that Mu Feng has become more sophisticated, a bit like... Su Zhen's aura, aloof."
"Nonsense, Mu Feng is currently the number one in the academy competition. If I were number one, I'd act aloof too!"
The elders looked at Mu Feng.
They felt that Mu Feng was more satisfactory to them now.
"That's right, Mu Feng has become more composed after winning first place in the competition."
"Hmm, he seems to have matured a lot, and he has the demeanor of the senior brother."
"It seems this matter can be entrusted to Mu Feng."
