Chapter 138: Temporary joy

Among the people who followed Alu into the library, of course, there were some who were followers of Darien.

When they heard Angela's words, they all immediately looked displeased.

But they also feel nervous. They also saw Alu's strength when he fought Dale.

At that time, Alu was only using his strength casually, and he could easily defeat Dale.

Even though Darien was also very talented, there was no doubt that he could not do something like that at the same level of cultivation.

Just by seeing how young Alu is and how strong he is, even a three year old child knows that Alu is far beyond Darien.

And they're worried that Alu might actually break Darien's new record.

If that was the case, his status in the fire temple would only increase. Perhaps some masters and elders who haven't supported his status will immediately support him. This is something they don't want to see.

Unfortunately their status was not sufficient for them to speak.

Up ahead, Alu raised his head to see ten virtual screens in front of him.

On top of each of the ten virtual screens, there was a row of names of disciples who had mastered the techniques displayed by the virtual screens.

Apart from their names, there are also records of the time it took them to master the techniques.

The names at the top are those that have the shortest time.

Most of them took less than twelve hours to understand one technique.

Alu also saw Darien's name at the top on one of the virtual screens. And the time it took him to understand the technique on the virtual screen was only six hours. It was the shortest time of all the names.

Alu then observed the technique displayed on the virtual screen where Darien's name was.

When Alu looked at the virtual screen, he was a little surprised because he found the technique displayed on the virtual screen was actually very similar to his Phoenix God Domain.

"How interesting! If I could master that technique, I might be able to increase the strength of my Phoenix God Domain." He said to himself.

Phoenix God Domain was an innate technique that came from his blood and soul. He mastered the technique right after he acquired it. However, that doesn't mean it can't be developed further.

As he looked at the other virtual screens, he also discovered a technique that was similar to his other techniques.

There were techniques that were similar to the Phoenix God Wings technique, and there were also techniques that were similar to the Heaven Destroying Fireball technique.

There was even a technique similar to the innate technique he had just acquired when he broke through to the nirvana stage.

The similarity between the techniques in the same element is actually not a strange thing. After all, like the power of fire, there are certain methods that are so well suited to the power of fire that most techniques will adopt them.

However, even though the methods were very similar, that didn't mean the power generated by the techniques would be the same.

However, among the ten techniques he had seen, he had not come across a technique that was similar to The Phoenix Flames Burning Soul technique.

Of course, he had expected such a thing. He would be even more surprised if the fire temple actually possessed a technique similar to The Phoenix Flames Burning Soul technique.

After a while of observing the ten virtual screens in front of him, Alu decided to take all the techniques.

There were techniques that bore no resemblance to his own, but they would also be of use to him if he could master them.

It takes other people a long time to master one of these techniques. Even Darien took six hours. But he believes he can master it all in less than six hours.

Even if it was more, it was definitely not far from six hours.

Especially techniques that were similar to his own, he was sure he could master them in a much shorter time.

He didn't stay long.

After which, he immediately entered one of the ten virtual screens in front of him.

The virtual screen he entered was the virtual screen where Darien's name was. And this made Darien's followers unhappy.

"Hmph, he obviously did it on purpose to challenge the young master." Darien's followers said in a displeased tone.

"This kid is just acting innocent, but in reality he is a very cunning person."

"What are you saying? Little brother Alu is definitely a kind and pure man. How dare you say he's a cunning person." Several women who were Alu fans immediately scolded Darien's followers.

"... *

Shua...

The virtual screen is like a transparent wall.

As he passed through the virtual screen, his body immediately pierced through, and he found himself appearing in a white space.

The people outside couldn't see what was inside.

After Alu entered the virtual screen, they began to sit down to wait for him.

And Alu, right after he entered that white space, he immediately felt a stream of information enter his head.

He digested the information that entered his head for a moment.

The name of the technique was the Fire Domain technique. And it had a function almost the same as his Phoenix God Domain technique.

Merely, his Phoenix God Domain techniques were far more extensive and profound.

"With my mastery of Phoenix God Domain techniques, understanding Fire Domain techniques shouldn't be that difficult." He says.

After which, he then observed the white space in which he was.

In that place, he could feel the law of fire that was exactly the same as the technique he had received.

"This place is indeed devoted to comprehending the technique this place stores. It is truly a unique treasure. I just found out there is something like this." He says.

"And also."

He then looked to the side.

Even though he couldn't see, his soul sense could still cover the entire area in that place.

On the left and right, he found a transparent wall separating the place.

And behind that transparent wall, he saw another white space.

"It's probably the space within another virtual screen." He guessed.

After saying that, he then flew towards the transparent wall to the right. As he touched the wall, he heard a voice.

"If you want to move to another place, you have to break records in this place." The voice echoed in his mind.

"Oh, I see." He nodded after hearing the voice.

Apart from holy sons, other disciples who wish to enter the virtual screen will have to pay with contribution points.

That transparent wall was probably used as a bonus for students who could break records. As long as they break the previous record for muris, they can enter another virtual screen through the virtual screen that they entered. That way, they basically no longer need to pay contribution points.

"Well, because there is such a thing, I can make a pleasant surprise for people outside." He said with a smile.

After saying that, he flew into the middle of that white space. He then sat cross-legged before closing his eyes and starting meditation to understand the technique he had just received.

Twenty minutes later, he opened his eyes once again.

"It's very easy. Only twenty minutes, and I fully understand it."

"But other techniques that are not similar to mine, I might take a little longer."

He then stood up and flew back to the transparent wall at the far right.

When he touched the wall, he found his hand through the wall.

....

Outside, after Alu entered the virtual screen, no one spoke anymore.

People just stared at the virtual screen that Alu entered with solemn eyes. They all wait for Alu to come out.

But the problem is; even after five hours of time had passed, there was still no sign that Alu would come out.

This caused Angela and the others as well as the people, who were supporting Alu, to start to worry.

But no one has spoken because five hours have not yet counted him losing.

Darien grasped the Fire Domain technique within six hours.

So even if Alu took five hours and fifty minutes, he would still break Darien's record.

TiTick... Tick... Tick...

Many have issued a timer to calculate the Alu time.

Some time later.

"Ha ha ha." Laughter began to echo from Darien's followers.

It's been five hours and fifty five minutes since Alu entered the virtual screen.

Although it was uncertain whether he would come out before it reached six hours, Darien's followers were already starting to rejoice.

Of course, they were still only laughing. They haven't said anything. But judging by how their mouths seemed to be twitching, people knew that they were ready to utter words to insult Alu.

They have been very nervous all this time. And they are ready to vent all their nervousness

And they were finally able to smile when they saw that six hours had passed on their timer.

Seeing that, they started making mouths to speak.

Unfortunately they don't know that their joy is only temporary.
