Chapter 383 Two Soul Techniques

(From MC's Perspective)

I cast a glance at black helmet before wearing it on my head. A blue screen appeared in front of my eyes the next second.  I'm familiar with the interface, it is the same as the  sci-fi  watch.

[Enter name:  ]

On the blue screen, clear instructions appeared. Seeing that, I looked for a virtual keyboard. Using my gaze, I typed the name.

[Zack Lockwood]

When the name was entered. The next instructions came out displaying the names of  various techniques.

Based on different attributes the techniques were divided. Fire, water, metal, earth, light, dark, lightning , healing.

My expression condensed after seeing two new elements, light and dark. I know like lightning these two were another special element.

When I tried to access it, sadly the permission was denied. Then I realized only the lightning element was activated.

Looks like Mr. Jonathan had changed the setting before coming here. Unfortunately, I can't reveal my other two elements to them.

After seeing the healing element, a sudden thought rose in my heart. I considered whether to tell them or not.

But in the end, I dispelled the thoughts.

Even if my teacher is benevolent and good, I don't want to take any chances. I don't want to end up as a lab rat in some laboratory.

SIGH

After sighing inwardly, I looked at the lightning section. It was unlocked. Seeing that I proceed to access it.

When the lightning section was, various lightning techniques were listed out in next seconds.

[LIGHTNING MOVEMENT TECHNIQUES]

[LIGHTNING ATTACK TECHNIQUES]

[LIGHTNING DEFENSIVE TECHNIQUES]

[LIGHTNING SOUL TECHNIQUES]

My eyes gleamed with surprise as I saw the four options. Then my eyes were drawn to soul techniques. I have three techniques which are all around.

Sword Divide techniques are enough for all around attack. I don't need another technique right now. Besides, Lightning wheel attacks can also cause a great deal of damage to the opponents.

With these two techniques in my hands, I'm not at all worried anymore. Then I ponder about movement techniques.

Lightning phantom techniques is the best one so far. I couldn't find any fault with it.

After contemplating for a few minutes, I decided to go for soul techniques.

When my gaze fell on it, the section got clicked and in the next second another page appeared.

[Soul Tower Method]

Description: Nine layer soul tower. Each layer can defend against the soul attack from the warriors of similar cultivation base.

[Soul Shield Technique]

A modified soul technique which was derived from similar defensive techniques. The technique can withstand the attack up to Elite Warrior.

[Soul Needle Art]

It's a type of soul attack technique. It consists of 10 moves. And the combination of ten moves can form the ultimate needle attack. And the ultimate attack can cause injury to Super Elite Warrior.

[Soul Defensive Screen]

Another Top Notch defensive method. Apart from providing defense, the techniques can prevent others from prying into warrior's details.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

I saw only four techniques listed with descriptions. I'm not disappointed with the lack of techniques. If it gets released, each one of the techniques can cause a blood bath outside.

So I'm grateful to have even come across such techniques.

Then I began to read the techniques one by one. Soul Tower Method, what a domineering name. From the name alone I can see it's a defensive method.

And the nine layers seem to correspond to our cultivation base.

For example, the 1st layer corresponds to the Trainee Apprentice. The 2nd layer corresponds to a Special Trainee. The 3rd layer corresponds to Trainee Warrior. And similarly the 4th layer corresponds to Elite Warrior.

A quick glint flashes into my eyes.

This soul tower technique is really OP. If I can cultivate to my current base, then I can prevent soul attacks during crimson hall competition.

I don't know why? I have a vague feeling that soul technique is extremely important to me. Considering my next trip is towards the trunulesia forest.

Soul techniques might come handy in crucial moments.

Then I began to read about the soul shield technique. Seeing that it's a modified one, my interest was dimmed a little. It can only block soul attacks up to elite warriors.

I'm just one big realm away from being an elite warrior. This technique might have come handy when I started my cultivation technique. But now this technique seems bland to me.

I skipped it directly and began to read the 3rd description. Attack type technique! From the library, I heard that it was rare to come across  attack type soul techniques.

My curiosity increased further. Especially needle art. The needle is considered as hidden weapon, it's best for silent assassination. I really wanted to select this technique, one for defense and one for attack purposes.

Before doing that I need to take a look at the last technique. Soul defensive screen!  This technique is the same as shield one. But I noticed one big difference, it's the ability to stop others from prying.

So If I use this method, I don't have to use Granny park's pendant anymore. I can prevent others from knowing my cultivation base. I have already started to imagine. How will it look in future?

But unfortunately, I can't select many techniques. If I do then it will be hard for me to cultivate in future. After contemplating for a moment, I decided to go with two soul techniques. Soul Tower Method and Soul Needle Art.

After making the decision, my gaze fell on the soul tower method the next second.

[You have selected the soul tower method]

[Whether to accept it or not?]

[YES/NO]

Seeing the options, my gaze immediately fell on the YES option.

When the option got clicked, the next second I felt a tinge in my mind. I know the technique is going to be engraved in my mind.  Feeling that I gnashed my teeth in pain. But I somehow controlled it.

The next second, a small tower rune formed below the celestial scripture in mind. The tower rune is slowly connected to the sword divide, lightning wheel and lightning phantom runes.

Under the celestial scripture rune, four runes joined together. Soon the information about the soul tower method appeared in my mind.

It took me a couple of minutes to stabilize my mind. When all the information was dumped in my mind, I didn't begin to read it right away.

Rather, my gaze fell on soul needle art. I will read the technique after I finish ingraining it in my mind. Next, I repeated the same procedure with soul needle art.

Soon, the 5th rune appeared in my mind. The rune looked like a needle shape. It gradually moved towards the 4 different runes. The 5th runes slowly joined together with 4 other different runes.

When 5 runes joined together. The same process repeated again. Another load of information appeared in my mind.  It took me another few minutes to digest the information.

On the other hand, Mr. Jonathan looked at the timings. It's been an hour but still Zack hasn't completed the process.

He wrinkled his eyebrows in tension. "Is there any problem with the helmet?" He thought to himself.

But he was sure about the functioning of the product. He even tested himself before coming here. So there is nothing wrong with the black helmet.

SIGH

Mr. Jonathan decided to wait for a moment. He thought Zack was taking his time to select the techniques.

5 minutes later,

I removed the black helmet and placed it on the table. Then I begin to massage both sides of my temple. The information was extremely large. Fortunately, it's nothing like celestial scripture.

The information feed is comparable to one with sword divide and lightning wheel techniques.

A couple of seconds later, I stopped massaging and looked at Mr. Jonathan.

Then I realized I have selected two techniques instead of one. Will he say something? I wrinkled my eyebrows in tension. But I decided to be honest about it and both the techniques were extremely useful to me.

Then I told Mr. Jonathan about my choice.

I thought he would say something. But fortunately, he was also satisfied with my choice.

Mr. Jonathan then placed the black helmet in his storage ring.  Then he looked at Zack and said, "Alright Zack, I'm leaving."

"Be careful on your next trip. I will see you before the start of the competition." After saying that Mr. Jonathan deactivated the isolation barrier.

After recovering it, he got up from his seat and decided to leave. He was already late. First because of his own delay to come here. Secondly, Zack also took some time to select the lightning techniques.

Before proceeding towards the exit, he said, "Zack, First read the techniques thoroughly. If you have any doubt, you can message me."

After saying that he immediately left the house,  he didn't have time to see Mr. James.

When he disappeared from the spot, Mr. James walked into the living room. Seeing that, Zack was sighing to himself.

Mr. James quickly walked up to him and asked, " Zack, what happened?"

He knew Mr. Jonathan must have given him some resources. So he couldn't wait to ask about it.
