As He Wished, Earth-tier Cultivation Method!

The next day, Xiao Ze followed the person sent by the Vice Dean to the library.

After dismissing everyone else, the Vice Dean smiled and said to Xiao Ze,

"Your proposal has been approved. You have two chances to enter the Library Pavilion, but your other training benefits will be reduced or even canceled."

Xiao Ze nodded calmly and accepted the documents handed to him by the Vice Dean.

This was far better than he had imagined.

At the very least, the Pill Credits, the second most valuable benefit in this training package, had not been canceled.

"Are you entering the Library Pavilion now?"

"Yes. I need a cultivation method for my advancement."

The Vice Dean nodded in understanding, rose to his feet, and walked to the wall behind him. He casually struck it several times with his palm.

Amid the deep rumble of shifting stone, a pitch-black opening appeared before Xiao Ze.

"Follow me."

The Vice Dean glanced at Xiao Ze's composed expression, growing even more satisfied.

Remaining unflustered in the face of change was a rare quality.

The two proceeded through the passageway, where several enormous luminous pearls had been embedded to provide light.

At the same time, the Vice Dean reminded Xiao Ze of the matters requiring attention and the rules for entering the Library Pavilion.

A source of light gradually appeared ahead, and Xiao Ze stepped out.

The piercing light made Xiao Ze narrow his eyes slightly.

Before him lay an enclosed valley. Looking upward, he could not see its end at all, as though the mountain rose infinitely high.

Amid the sheer cliffs on three sides stood a massive, ancient pavilion, exuding a heavy, archaic aura.

Above the pavilion hung a weathered plaque, upon which three vigorous characters were inscribed—Library Pavilion.

The Vice Dean brought Xiao Ze outside the Library Pavilion and clasped his fists toward the empty air in salute.

"The candidate for Jia Nan Academy's Outer Academy training program has arrived. I ask the elders to open the gate!"

Hu Gan's voice, carried by Dou Qi, echoed throughout the valley for a long while.

Xiao Ze looked toward the entrance of the Library Pavilion and saw two gray-robed elders already seated there.

They had been entirely absent before, as though they had appeared out of nowhere.

Xiao Ze lowered his gaze slightly and stood quietly where he was.

After waiting for over ten minutes, the eyelids of the two gray-robed elders finally twitched slightly, revealing somewhat cloudy eyes.

The two gray-robed elders looked at Xiao Ze simultaneously, their scrutiny unmistakable.

Very soon, a trace of surprise flashed through their eyes, and one of the gray-robed elders directly asked,

"Young friend, how old are you?"

"This student is Xiao Ze. Greetings, Senior. I am twelve years old."

Xiao Ze saluted as he answered.

A trace of surprise flashed through both gray-robed elders' eyes.

No wonder they had activated a training program that had not been used for many years.

A twelve-year-old Four Star Great Dou Master was unquestionably destined to become a top-tier powerhouse. His talent was extraordinary!

That was right. After the accumulation from his journey, Xiao Ze had broken through as soon as he arrived at Jia Nan Academy.

He was now a Four Star Great Dou Master.

"Exceptionally gifted!"

"The younger generation is truly formidable!"

The two gray-robed elders each offered an assessment.

They marveled at Xiao Ze's talent.

Even old monsters like them had never seen someone with such talent.

The two elders extended their withered palms and formed several peculiar hand seals.

As these hand seals formed, a strange and powerful fluctuation spread outward, making contact with the space before Xiao Ze!

Space rippled like water, sending out ring after ring of waves!

The Vice Dean explained to Xiao Ze,

"This is a Space Lock set by a Dou Zun powerhouse. It possesses extremely powerful defensive capabilities. Even if a Dou Zong were standing right before it, it would remain unharmed."

Xiao Ze bowed slightly. "Thank you, Vice Dean, for clearing up my confusion."

A Space Gate slowly formed before them.

The Vice Dean took the lead, with Xiao Ze following closely behind as they stepped into the Space Gate.

"Many thanks, you two elders!"

Hu Gan said with clasped fists.

"It is merely our duty."

One gray-robed elder said in a hoarse voice before once again falling silent.

Hu Gan instructed Xiao Ze, "You have one hour this time, and you may only bring out one item."

"I have already told you about those taboos. Do not force matters, lest you end up returning empty-handed."

Xiao Ze nodded, then thought for a moment before saying, "May I combine my two opportunities? This student does not wish to trouble the two seniors repeatedly!"

Hu Gan said nothing. Having reached this point, the matter was no longer his to decide.

"You may. The time will be extended to two hours, and you may bring out two items."

One gray-robed elder spoke.

Xiao Ze saluted in thanks, then stepped forward.

He lowered his gaze and did not look at the plaque above.

The plaque hanging overhead possessed a wondrous power capable of drawing in one's mind.

Xiao Ze held fast to his true heart as a desolate aura wound around his mind.

However, it had no effect on Xiao Ze.

Only after Xiao Ze's figure entered the Library Pavilion did the three people outside exchange glances.

They had originally intended to remind Xiao Ze only after he fell into a dazed state.

They had not expected Xiao Ze to remain completely unaffected by the plaque.

This raised the three men's assessment of Xiao Ze by another level.

"Elders, how long do you think Xiao Ze will take to come out? And what item might he obtain?"

After waiting for a while and growing bored, Hu Gan asked the two gray-robed elders.

The two gray-robed elders exchanged a look.

If one of the top five participants in the Inner Academy Selection Competition had entered, the two gray-robed elders probably would not even have bothered responding to Hu Gan.

But Xiao Ze was the first genius in many years to receive the training program.

At such a young age, his strength had already reached the Four Star Great Dou Master level.

Combined with his series of extraordinary performances earlier,

the two elders were indeed somewhat curious.

"Xiao Ze is indeed exceptionally talented, but opportunities and temperament are also especially important within the Library Pavilion. What he ultimately obtains will depend entirely on himself."

The gray-robed elder said slowly.

Just as Hu Gan was about to speak, he suddenly turned toward the Library Pavilion.

A trace of surprise also arose in the hearts of the two elders.

Xiao Ze had come out?!

He had been inside for less than ten minutes!

The Vice Dean frowned slightly and looked toward the entrance of the Library Pavilion.

Sure enough, Xiao Ze walked out with a calm expression.

"Xiao Ze, why did you come out so quickly? You should know how precious the opportunity to enter the Library Pavilion is. Why..."

Hu Gan said somewhat anxiously, "If something unexpected happened, the previous conditions can be disregarded!"

"I'll give you another chance, but this time you can only bring out one item!"

"There is no need, Vice Dean."

Xiao Ze smiled and shook his head, displaying the two scrolls in his hands.

One was ocean-blue, like a vast sea.

The other was a seven-colored scroll that flickered with strange radiance.

"I am very satisfied with what I gained this time, so I came out early to avoid disturbing the two seniors' cultivation too much."

"Earth-tier Cultivation Methods!"

"Both of them!"

The two gray-robed elders had sharp eyes and recognized the grade of the two scrolls in Xiao Ze's hands. They could not help but exclaim in surprise.

Hu Gan also came to his senses, looking at the two Earth-tier Cultivation Methods in Xiao Ze's hands.

It seemed Xiao Ze had indeed returned fully loaded this time!

"He obtained two Earth-tier scrolls so quickly?"

Hu Gan could not help but marvel.

"The moment I entered the room, several streaks of light flew out of the energy barrier and all stopped beside me."

"After examining them, I found that they were all Earth-tier Cultivation Methods, and there happened to be ones I needed. So I did not waste any more time picking and choosing."

Xiao Ze explained, plunging the three people present into silence.

If the top five participants from previous Inner Academy Selection Competitions heard this, they would probably fall apart!
