On the Second floor, Noah, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the back of his left hand.
He could feel a sensation similar to anta crawling at the back of his hand as he saw a black dot kind of mark appearing at the place. The mark was not that large but it was visible if someone paid attention to it.
The dot had a pointed edge in the straight-up direction. Noah checked the mark with his soul sense and he surprisingly found that this mark had something in common with the key he found on the first floor.
'I don't need to think about it until I reach the last floor.'
He then turned his face to look at the timer in the air and was surprised at the time it took him to comprehend the technique.

It took him less than 7-8 minutes to get a basic understanding of the very first technique he learned after he chose and memorized the details on the walls.
The reason this was the first technique was that there was more than one technique on the wall.
There were Countless techniques, that were etched on the wall but they were all invisible to the participants. A veil of arrays was hiding those techniques from the plain sight.
Noah found out that the hall they were standing was quite mysterious too. There was a mind-probing array placed across the room. This array would probe the talent of the participants along with the type of techniques they needed at that moment the most.
The thing that the array probes is the soul itself!
Since Noah's soul was too much for the array to even cover, let alone the scene, it chose the default setting of the array which was to display every single technique that there was on the wall.

Normally people would see one technique, but he saw rows and rows of words written on the wall along with pictures and detailed descriptions of the techniques.
Such a precise array was something that made Noah believe that this Pagoda also did not originally belong to this world. There were many reasons for him to believe so.
Attacking techniques were an entirely different thing. They will allow him to kill people without even moving from the place he would be standing.
Soul attack technique was available in two Grades, the immortal grade and the one above that.
The one he just comprehended was the immortal technique.
Even though it was the lowest level of the immortal technique, it was still an immortal technique.
How can the low-level techniques compare to the likes of the immortal grade technique?
And how can the immortal technique compare to the likes of the technique above it?
'It would be a waste to leave these techniques here, I can use them to gain favors and exchange for things I want.'
As he thought of this, Noah imprinted these techniques on his soul but after carefully considering he rejected the thought.
It was not a good thing to overload his soul.
'Elysia, can you store these techniques?' he sent a thought transmission to his necklace which trembled for a while before he got a reply.
'Ahem, I think the best way to deal with this problem is to take this pagoda away with you.
I can feel that this pagoda itself is an immortal artifact. If you can gain control over this object, everything it holds will be naturally yours.'
Noah found this idea quite interesting and he also agreed with her suggestion.
' Very well, let's do that.'
'Even then I have stored a copy of the data just in case. No need to take any chances.' Seeing Elysia turn silent, a warm smile appeared on Noah's face.
