Hun Xiu stepped into the Skill Pavilion once more. This time, he was no longer merely browsing; instead, he headed straight for the second floor at top speed.

Clearly, Hun Xiu's goal this time was the second form of the Man-Slaying Palm, a Mysterious Tier combat skill.

However, just as Hun Xiu reached the corner and was about to head upstairs, the system's voice rang out in his mind again...

"Ding..." "A choice has appeared. Does the host wish to sign in?" "Sign in." "Choice One: Yellow Tier high-grade combat skill—Calamity Annihilation Fist. This fist technique is divided into four forms, each corresponding to the Yellow, Mysterious, Earth, and Heaven combat skill tiers. Once all four forms are cultivated to their peak, not even gods or ghosts will remain beneath a single punch." "Choice Two: Yellow Tier high-grade combat skill—Wind-Thunder Divine Leg. This leg technique is divided into four forms, each corresponding to the Yellow, Mysterious, Earth, and Heaven combat skill tiers. Once all four forms are cultivated to their peak, every kick will contain terrifying wind and thunder power, capable of destroying heaven and earth. Slaying ghosts and gods would be nothing. Moreover, Wind-Thunder Divine Leg is also an excellent movement combat skill. Once cultivated to its peak, you will be as fast as the wind."

"Hmm?"

Hearing the system's voice, Hun Xiu was slightly stunned. He muttered inwardly, The system wants me to choose the other two Yellow Tier combat skills!

Hun Xiu had originally wanted to take a look at Mysterious Tier combat skills, but now he could only choose another Yellow Tier one. He would take it slowly. I choose Choice One.

Hun Xiu silently made his choice.

Then, from the corner of his eye, Hun Xiu spotted the Calamity Annihilation Fist. Once he confirmed the name, he decided it was the one.

Crack.

Without hesitation, Hun Xiu threw a punch at the qi barrier and retrieved the Calamity Annihilation Fist from within.

"Elder."

The elder asked, "Hun Xiu, what combat skill did you choose this time?"

"There."

Without hesitation, Hun Xiu took out the Calamity Annihilation Fist.

"..."

When the elder saw the combat skill Hun Xiu had chosen, he was dumbfounded. Yellow Tier combat skill, Calamity Annihilation Fist.

Damn it, this fool. I thought he'd finally come to his senses and planned to switch to a better combat skill. But it seems he's only going further down the road of stupidity.

He passed over perfectly good Heaven Tier combat skills and stubbornly chose one Yellow Tier combat skill after another. He was utterly blind! Just imagine...

Before you stood a group of fair-skinned beauties with long legs, their looks and figures flawless to the extreme, with every type imaginable among them.

Anything you could want was there.

They were all waiting for you to shower them with affection.

Yet in the end, you chose none of them and instead picked some chubby little kid by the roadside.

Then they asked whether you were surprised or delighted.

Seeing Hun Xiu choose another Yellow Tier combat skill, the elder was truly shocked—truly delighted. He had thought the boy had awakened to the truth, but not only had he failed to wake up, he had sunk even deeper. He was hopelessly stubborn!

At that moment, the elder looked at Hun Xiu as though he were looking at an idiot.

Naturally, Hun Xiu noticed the elder's gaze, but he did not care. Carrying the Calamity Annihilation Fist he had selected, he left.

Watching Hun Xiu's departing back, the elder shook his head with great regret. "Why does such a terrifying genius have such poor eyesight?"

"Alas..."

Afterward, he lowered his head and recorded the registration.

"Hun Xiu, one Yellow Tier high-grade combat skill: Calamity Annihilation Fist."

Having obtained the Calamity Annihilation Fist, Hun Xiu read through it as he walked. Along the way, he encountered many Hun Clan disciples.

He did not know most of them, nor did he have the habit of greeting others.

Hun Xiu did not know them, but they knew Hun Xiu. Still, none of them stepped forward to greet him.

They all knew that Hun Xiu was aloof by nature and disliked interacting with others.

Back mountain.

Hun Xiu first practiced the Calamity Annihilation Fist once, then practiced the Man-Slaying Palm once. Afterward, he sat cross-legged and began drawing in the heaven-and-earth qi to aid his cultivation.

The next day.

Noon.

Hun Xiu came to the Skill Pavilion again.

It was still the same elder.

Seeing Hun Xiu return, the elder asked curiously, "Hun Xiu, what are you here for again?"

Hun Xiu placed the Calamity Annihilation Fist before him and said, "Elder, I'm here to exchange for another combat skill."

"Go on."

The elder gave Hun Xiu a glance and spoke indifferently.

"Thank you."

Hun Xiu entered the Skill Pavilion once again.

Watching Hun Xiu's back as he entered, the elder muttered, "Could it be that he's finally come to his senses this time?"

Not long after entering, Hun Xiu emerged again with another combat skill in hand.

"Damn... so fast?"

Seeing Xiu'er come back out less than a minute after entering, the elder was dumbfounded. That was far too fast, wasn't it?

This elder was named Soul Shou.

Soul Shou had seen plenty in his life, but this was the first time he had ever encountered someone so fast. It was simply too fast!

"Hun Xiu, aren't you a little too fast?" Soul Shou could not help sighing.

"Fast?"

Hun Xiu rubbed his nose and said awkwardly, "I think it's alright."

"The younger generation these days is all pretty fast."

The moment he entered, the system's voice rang out. Without hesitation, he chose the Wind-Thunder Divine Leg.

From entering to coming back out with the combat skill, it had taken about thirty seconds—less than a minute.

The speed was beyond imagination.

"Fine."

Soul Shou did not care whether Hun Xiu was fast or not. What he cared about was what combat skill Hun Xiu had chosen, and what tier it was.

Soul Shou asked, "Hun Xiu, what tier is the combat skill you chose?"

Hun Xiu did not hide it and said, "There, it's this Yellow Tier high-grade combat skill, Wind-Thunder Divine Leg."

Soul Shou: "..."

His mind was in chaos. Choosing Yellow Tier combat skills one after another—was Hun Xiu planning to bury all that talent of his?

By the time Soul Shou fully came to his senses, Hun Xiu was nowhere to be seen. He had already left with his Yellow Tier combat skill.

"Hun Xiu, one Yellow Tier high-grade combat skill: Wind-Thunder Divine Leg."

Soul Shou recorded Hun Xiu's exchanged combat skill once again. He also made up his mind to have a proper talk with the Clan Head later.

The first time Hun Xiu chose a Yellow Tier combat skill, it could still be excused as not recognizing a treasure.

The second time he chose a Yellow Tier combat skill, that was already rather foolish.

But choosing a Yellow Tier combat skill for the third time was going too far. If Hun Xiu had been an ordinary Hun Clan disciple, it would have been one thing.

The key was that Hun Xiu was the Clan Head's son.

He had awakened the unprecedented Transcendent Divine Bloodline and was one of the future candidates for Clan Head.

If such an excellent seedling withered away like this, it would be a loss for the Hun Clan.

The more geniuses, the better.

Who would ever complain that their clan had too many geniuses?

Hun Xiu had no idea that his consecutive choices of Yellow Tier combat skills had thoroughly "angered" Elder Soul Shou, who was already preparing to report him to his father.

At that moment, Hun Xiu was already demonstrating the Wind-Thunder Divine Leg on the back mountain. After practicing the leg technique, he practiced his palm technique, then his fist technique.

After going through them all once, Hun Xiu sat cross-legged atop the mountain again, drawing in the heaven-and-earth qi for his own use.
