Meanwhile, it was on the second floor where books on grades three and four martial skills were stored.
Outer disciples and those below this level could pay contribution credits to get books from the first floor.
Of course, if an outer disciple made some special contribution to the sect, or performed outstandingly, he had an option to exchange books from the second floor.
Meanwhile, inner disciples and those above this level could likewise exchange books on the second floor.
Taking a deep breath, Austin looked at the bookshelves in order.
There were as many as hundreds of books about martial skills on the library's first floor, with each book about half-an-inch thick. It was difficult to choose a suitable one from a wide selection of books on secret martial skills.
Stone-braking Punch, Angry Dragon Punch, Swordsmanship of Picking Stars with Willow Leaves, Wind Luck Step...
With numerous titles on secret martial skills to choose from, Austin was dazzled.
Swish! Swish! It was the sound of flipping pages.
In his excitement, Austin turned to the first pages of the books quickly.
There was always a comprehensive introduction on the first page of every book.
Wild Wind Knife: The knife skill was like a wind with a thunder's momentum. It would have the upper hand depending on the speed. Those wishing to cultivate it were required to be cultivators at or above level three of the Energy Gathering Realm.
Its cultivating difficulty was standard, while the martial skill was grade one.
The Angry Dragon Punch could increase the strength of the cultivator's vital energy in his body. It could solidify vital energy instantly and suppress the opponent with its power, which had a horrifying explosive force.
A cultivator must be at or above level five of the Energy Gathering Realm. It was a book with great cultivating difficulty.
Its martial skill was grade two.
Wind Luck Step was a close combat bodily maneuver to overcome a moving target with slow movement. When someone advanced to a certain realm, he could be undefeated even when fighting against several cultivators of the same level.
Cultivators needed to be at o
sighed at the memory.
Listening to the old man had frightened Austin. He realized the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill was very dangerous.
Mental power was only a spiritual sense. To be effective, it required a strong and accurate mental controlling ability, and his spiritual sense could be equal to that of the masters of the Mysterious Realm. That would be suitable for him.
"Even if you can summon the Grand Pagoda in the end, it has a disadvantage. This skill consumes so much vital energy. Regardless of your level, it will require 70 percent of your vital energy to call up the Grand Pagoda.
Think about it. After losing 70 percent of vital energy, if you can't kill the enemy with one blow, and with only 30 percent of energy left, you'll have to let the enemy kill you, right?" he pointed out.
He added," It is for this reason that two of the thirteen disciples who developed the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill ended up killed, one of them being a personal disciple of the current Sect Leader."
"A personal disciple of the current Sect Leader?" Austin echoed.
He was startled by this revelation.
"That's right. So the Sect Leader was furious and put this grade four martial skill on the first floor instead of the second, to prevent those arrogant inner disciples and elite disciples of the sect from practicing it."
Austin finally understood why the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill had to be in the library's first floor.
