Lin Ming's Choice
All five people in the room attacked the oncoming energy ball, reaching out to grab it.
In terms of speed and agility, no one here could match Lin Ming. So Lin Ming arrived in front of the energy cluster at an extremely fast speed, and then reached out to grab into the energy cluster.
Without breaking a sweat, Lin Ming grabbed the energy cluster, and then took out a scroll containing the energy from Lin Ming.
It wasn't until Lin Ming took the item out of the energy cluster that the others came to the energy cluster. Seeing the scroll in Lin Ming's hand, they knew that this item was not meant for them.
As for snatching it from Lin Ming, given Lin Ming's speed just now, unless the four of them joined forces to attack Lin Ming, no one dared to say they could snatch it from Lin Ming.
Furthermore, since no one knows exactly what the scroll in Lin Ming's possession is, no one is willing to risk offending Lin Ming by trying to steal it.
After obtaining the scroll, Lin Ming glanced at the people who had come to his side. Seeing that they made no further moves, he picked up the scroll and looked at the words written on the outside, "Profound Tier Mid-grade Movement Fighting Skill: Instantaneous Roaming Steps."
Seeing that it was just a Profound Tier Mid-grade Movement Fighting Skill, Lin Ming instantly lost interest. So he let go of the scroll, and after Lin Ming released it, the scroll, under the energy covering its outer layer, flew back towards the wall in front of him, then arrived at an Energy Shield on the wall and disappeared.
When Cheng Chen and the others were looking at the characters on the scroll in Lin Ming's eyes, they also saw the characters written on the scroll, so they all knew that this scroll was a Profound Tier Mid-grade Movement Fighting Skill.
After learning that it was just a Profound Tier Mid-grade Movement Fighting Skill, when Lin Ming released the scroll and let it fly away on its own until it disappeared from the wall, none of Cheng Chen and the others made a move to capture it again.
It seems that the five people in the room all wanted something better, so none of them acquired this scroll of Profound Tier Mid-grade Dou Technique.
After Lin Ming released the scroll, which disappeared into an Energy Shield on the wall, the other energy shields also reacted. Then, one by one, the energy shields erupted, spewing out Energy Light Orb of different colors. Some of these Energy Light Orb caused quite a commotion in the room.
"Grab it!" someone shouted, and after that, the five people in the room each moved in different directions, scrambling for the gushing Energy Light Orb.
Inside the spacious room, five figures were chasing after Energy Light Orb of different colors.
Some people, after receiving the orb of light, only glanced at it briefly before releasing the Energy Light Orb and no longer paying attention to its movement.
Some people, upon obtaining the Energy Light Orb, were immediately overjoyed and tried to grab the contents of the Energy Light Orb. However, they were unable to break through the Energy Shield surrounding the items they grabbed and had no choice but to give up on them and search for other Energy Light Orb.
"Haha! Earth Tier Dou Technique!" A loud laugh drew the attention of everyone who was busy capturing the Energy Light Orb.
At this moment, Lin Ming and the others were looking at Zuo Rulong was holding a Pale Yellow Energy Orb. From Zuo Rulong's beaming face, they could tell how excited he was.
For Zuo Rulong, if he could cultivate an Earth Tier -one Dou Technique, then the next time he faced Lin Ming, he could make Lin Ming experience what it's like to be bedridden for a month.
Cheng Chen, who had always been one step ahead of him, would no longer be his opponent. Even if he entered the Inner Academy, with his Earth Tier Dou Technique, Zuo Rulong would have a place there. So it's no wonder Zuo Rulong was so happy.
Indulging in a pleasant fantasy, Zuo Rulong reached into the Pale Yellow Orb in his hand, attempting to grab the Dou Technique scroll inside.
The more beautiful the imagination, the crueler the reality.
As Zuo Rulong reached into the ball of light, preparing to retrieve the scroll of the Earth Tier Dou Technique, the energy outside the scroll erupted with a counterforce, blasting Zuo Rulong's hand out of the Energy Light Orb. Then, a pale yellow energy surged, instantly freeing itself from Zuo Rulong's grasp and disappearing into Energy Shield on a wall.
Seeing Zuo Rulong had just been laughing heartily but was now filled with sorrow, Lin Ming and the others ignored him and went about their own search for what they needed.
As for Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills that have reached the Earth Tier, Zuo Rulong is not the only one to have achieved this so far. However, none of these Earth Tier Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills have been able to successfully extract them from the energy cluster.
After capturing the Energy Light Orb for some time, Lin Ming discovered that the more precious the item, the stronger the energy it emitted.
Upon discovering this phenomenon, Lin Ming extended his immense Soul Power, sensing all the energy fluctuations within the room.
With his powerful soul, Lin Ming could easily cover the entire room with his Soul Power. This way, Lin Ming could sense any large energy fluctuations immediately. Furthermore, relying on his agility, the others would have no chance of overtaking him.
Under the influence of Lin Ming's Soul Power, a massive energy fluctuation soon emanated. Following this fluctuation, the temperature within the entire room seemed to rise.
Then, an Energy Light Orb was ejected from one of the Energy Shield.
As the first person to sense this energy fluctuation, Lin Ming naturally arrived in front of the fiery red Energy Light Orb immediately and took it down.
Such a large energy fluctuation would naturally attract the attention of everyone else in the room.
Seeing that Lin Ming had captured the fiery red ball of light that had caused the largest energy fluctuation so far, the others present revealed a hint of greed.
However, under Lin Ming's watchful gaze, they suppressed this hint of greed.
Seeing that the others had put away their greed, Lin Ming then looked at the items inside the ball of light.
Looking at the fiery red Energy Light Orb in his hand, Lin Ming could see a pale red scroll lying inside.
The scroll alone emitted a scorching heat, raising the temperature of the entire room by a degree.
Lin Ming's gaze pierced through the Energy Light Orb outside, and he could faintly make out some writing on the Pale Red Scroll.
"Nine Layered Phoenix Fire Art! Earth Tier Mid-grade"
Even Lin Ming, with his saliva-like saliva, swallowed hard upon seeing the words written on it. This was the first time Lin Ming had ever held Earth Tier Mid-grade Cultivation Method in his hands like this.
This was the first time Lin Ming had ever seen such a high-level Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills, reaching the Earth Tier Mid-grade.
Lin Ming didn't know when he would be able to cultivate his own Chaos Spirit Five Elements Art to the third level, to the point where it could match the Earth Tier Dou Technique. If he could change his Cultivation Method, Lin Ming would have wanted to cultivate the Earth Tier Nine Layered Phoenix Fire Art.
Now that his cultivation has reached the Da Dou Shi, the first level, equivalent to the Yellow Tier High-grade, the Chaos Spirit Five Elements Art, has become a serious obstacle for Lin Ming. It not only slows down Lin Ming's cultivation speed, but also makes the amount of Dou Qi can store a serious problem when fighting.
The Dou Qi that the Yellow Tier High-grade Chaos Spirit Five Elements Art can store is completely insufficient for Lin Ming's current consumption. If he has to fight someone in the future, Lin Ming must finish the battle quickly, because he cannot afford to drag it out.
If others stall until Lin Ming's Dou Qi is exhausted, then Lin Ming will be helpless. Or rather, he'll need to use Qi Replenishing Pill.
However, while the Earth Tier Nine Layered Phoenix Fire Art might be a treasure for others, it was simply not enough for Lin Ming.
The <Chaos Spirit Five Elements Art> on site is only at the first level, which is only equivalent to Yellow Tier High-grade Cultivation Method. Once Lin Ming's cultivation advances to the Douling Dou Ling, he will be able to cultivate the second level.
At that time, the second level was equivalent to the Profound Tier Mid-grade Cultivation Method, the Chaos Spirit Five Elements Art, which was enough for Lin Ming to use in the Dou Ling stage. And as the number of levels that the Chaos Spirit Five Elements Art could be cultivated increased in the future, it would not be a problem to surpass the Heaven Tier Cultivation Method.
Most importantly, the Chaos Spirit Five Elements Art can cultivate the Five Elements Power, which is something that no other Cultivation Method in the world can achieve at present.
Therefore, a single scroll of the Earth Tier Nine Layered Phoenix Fire Art Cultivation Method was not enough to make Lin Ming give up the Chaos Spirit Five Elements Art. So, Lin Ming released the fiery red Energy Light Orb from his hand, letting it fly towards an energy shield before disappearing.
Seeing Lin Ming so decisively abandon the energy cluster with the greatest energy fluctuations, the others felt a mix of regret, relief, and disappointment.
Such a large energy fluctuation was unprecedented, even compared to the Earth Tier Low-grade Dou Technique that Zuo Rulong and the others had encountered. Judging from the energy fluctuation of the fiery red energy cluster that Lin Ming had just abandoned, the contents inside were definitely no less powerful than those Earth Tier Low-grade Dou Technique they had encountered.
Having all suffered repeated setbacks in retrieving Earth Tier Dou Technique from the energy cluster, none of them had managed to do so. Therefore, now that it was Lin Ming's turn, they wanted to see Lin Ming frustrated attempt to retrieve the item from the energy cluster, hoping it would bring them some satisfaction.
However, Lin Ming completely deviated from the expected pattern. After glancing at the contents of the energy ball, he didn't even reach in to try and retrieve anything, and simply gave up on the fiery red energy ball.
This almost made the group of people who wanted to see Lin Ming suffer a humiliation so frustrated they almost vomited blood.
In fact, this was not a difficult choice for Lin Ming. Lin Ming had a clear goal in mind when he entered the Library Pavilion.
If the Library Pavilion contained methods for cultivating Soul Power or Soul Fighting Skill, Lin Ming would definitely choose them without hesitation.
However, when it comes to methods of cultivating the soul or Dou Technique, the academy probably can't possess them due to their rarity, so Lin Ming didn't hold out much hope for this.
Lin Ming's second choice was Dou Technique that could refine the body. Having a strong body would be a significant advantage in both battles and other situations.
A strong body means greater power, so Body Refining Fighting Skill are Lin Ming's preferred choice this time.
If that's not the case, then Lin Ming can only hope that he can obtain a Sound Wave Fighting Skill like Xiao Yan in the original novel.
Lin Ming had a very clear purpose for entering the Library Pavilion, so even though the Cultivation Method he just witnessed was at the mid-level Earth Tier Mid-grade, it did not shake Lin Ming resolve.
After all, no matter how many things are taken out of the energy cluster in this room, in the end, only one thing can be taken away.
Instead of wasting time trying to obtain the Earth Tier Mid-grade <Nine Layered Phoenix Fire Art Cultivation Method, it's better to focus on what you actually need. That's why Lin Ming so decisively gave up on the energy cluster containing the Earth Tier Mid-grade Cultivation Method.
