Chapter 18: New skills!

Phoenix Feather Sect,

"Who is that Handsome Disciple?" A female disciple of the Phoenix Feather sect questioned as her eyes fell on Ashen who was walking towards the Skill Pavilion.

Her companion answered: "Ah right, You weren't there when he awakened his spirit. He is the sect Leader's new disciple and has awakened an 8-star spirit"

The female disciple's eyes widened as she asked: "Really? An 8-star spirit? Doesn't that mean he is now the greatest genius among the Ten sects?"

Her companion nodded in agreement: "Indeed"

While they discussed about Ashen, He entered the skill pavilion.

As he entered, he was welcomed with the sight of an old man sitting behind a table and a huge hall with stairs going upwards.

He approached the table before showing his token and saying: "I would like to select some skills for myself"

The elder saw his token with a bored look, however as his eyes fell on it, a shocked expression appeared on his countenance as he asked: "You are a core disciple? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Ashen nodded with a smile before explaining the reason: "That is because I just joined the sect"

The elder's eyes widened as he asked: "Are you the disciple who gave birth to those phenomena and for whom the sect leaders fought?"

Ashen nodded again with a wide smile in answer.

The elder was already informed about Ashen, however, he was told that Ashen would be resting for some time, therefore, he hadn't expected him to visit the skill pavilion so soon.

The elder replied with a smile: "Alright, you can choose any skill you like, however, show it to me before leaving. I will need to see whether they suit you or not"

Ashen smiled as he answered in agreement while bowing slightly: "I understand!"

The Elder smiled as he gestured for Ashen to proceed.

Ashen moved inside the pavilion, checking the hall first, taking a look at several skill books.

The Elder hid information from him about the levels of skills on each floor.

This was done to prevent Ashen from becoming overconfident and directly attempting to take a skill of the highest floor.

Since the promise regarding letting him select any skill from the Pavilion was already made, they couldn't deny him any skill.

They also came up with the idea of telling Ashen that the higher-level skills were not suitable for him.

However, they were unaware that Ashen had a system helping him.

Ashen showed every skill to the system to gain information about them.

[Ding! Host, it seems that the higher level skills are on the upper floors, Here are only low earth level skills]

The skills were divided into different grades. They are:

~ Earth

~ Sky

~ Heaven

~ Saint

~ Immortal

These grades were further divided into three levels-

~ Low Level

~ Intermediate level

~ High Level

---------------------------------

The immortal grade skills were considered a myth as there was no cultivator who had one. These were only mentioned in the records.

To use this technique, The Practitioner requires Yin energy which can be collected from multiple Female cultivators. Taking the Primordial Yin would be best for more Yin Energy.]

~~

"Wonderful!" Ashen exclaimed cheerfully, joyous on finding a great skill.

Who wouldn't want to kill people with only the movement of their fingertips?

Collecting these four skills, he left before standing in front of the elder to let him inspect these skills.

The elder received the skills before analyzing them.

His eyes widened as he saw the skills, All were Heaven grade.

He turned towards Ashen as he asked with a smile: "Disciple Ashen, Why be so greedy in selecting the skills? Why don't you just take one skill and learn it first before taking the others?"

Ashen, however, wasn't someone to be convinced, he shook his head in rejection, speaking strictly: "Elder, I was promised that I would be able to take any skill I want. Do you intend to renege on your promise?"

The Elder shook his head as he attempted one last time: "No No, Disciple Ashen, I was just saying this for your sake. You can take them if you want"

Then, he showed him the fourth book, asking: "Why don't you just leave this book? This is an incomplete skill, You won't be able to learn it anyway"

Ashen, however, shook his head as his voice turned cold: "I will take every book I have chosen, don't attempt to interfere, I request." He bowed, however, his voice was cold and threatening.

The elder nodded as he returned the books to him. He couldn't make Ashen despise the sect right now. He was a once in a lifetime genius and the hope for the sect to improve it's ranking.

He couldn't just offend him. What if he left the sect and joined another one?

He had to wait until he made friends and felt connected to the sect. That way, he would hesitate to leave his friends behind.

Ashen left the Skill pavilion, returning to his house, before sitting on the bed.

"System, Help me learn those skills"

[Ding! Host, It would cost 15000 Villain points to learn Yin Finger Blossom Beam as it is an incomplete skill, along with 3000 Villain Points for the other three skills]

Ashen nodded, giving his permission: "Do it!"

Gradually, information regarding the skills began to enter his mind out of nowhere and in no time, he had learned the skills.

[Ding! Congratulations Host, You have learned all four skills to Mastery Level 1]
