Purple Thunder Body-Enhancing Art

Library Pavilion, three-quarters of the half hour had passed since Lin Ming and his Library Pavilion entered, leaving them with only the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Up to now, Lin Ming only has two scrolls with him. And from the fact that Lin Ming is still constantly sensing the energy fluctuations, it's clear that Lin Ming's not very satisfied with the two scrolls he has acquired.

Lin Ming has now obtained two scrolls: one is Black Tier Low-grade Body Refining Fighting Skill, and the other is Yellow Tier High-grade Sound Wave Fighting Skill.

If no higher-level Body Refining Fighting Skill appears within the next cup of tea's time, Lin Ming will have no choice but to use this Black Tier Low-grade Body Refining Fighting Skill for now.

However, Lin Ming currently looks down on Black Tier Low-grade Dou Technique.

Once everyone enters the Inner Academy, they will generally have Profound Tier Dou Technique. Therefore, a Black Tier Low-grade Dou Technique is not very useful to Lin Ming now.

Time passed second by second. During this period, no large energy fluctuations appeared, so much so that Lin Ming no longer held much hope of obtaining a higher-grade Body Refining Fighting Skill.

The idea of filling the room with Soul Power and sensing the fluctuations in energy is merely a lingering illusion.

The time it takes to drink a cup of tea is drawing to a close, and the group that has been in the Library Pavilion nearly half an hour is about to leave.

Cheng Chen, Zuo Rulong, and the other three are now choosing which item they want to take with them. In the last minute or two, they have stopped searching for the energy cluster.

At this point, Lin Ming had no intention of waiting for other energy clusters to appear; there simply wasn't enough time. It seemed he would have to make do with this Black Tier Low-grade Body Refining Fighting Skill for now, and upgrade to a better one later when the opportunity arose.

Thinking this, Lin Ming withdrew his released Soul Power and prepared to leave the Library Pavilion.

However, at that very moment, a huge energy fluctuation was transmitted to Lin Ming's senses.

After this energy fluctuation was released, the entire huge room was filled with a tingling sensation.

The instant after a tingling sensation filled the room, a ball of purple energy was ejected from the Energy Shield, heading straight for the energy shield on the other side.

The appearance of such a large energy fluctuation at this final moment could only mean that Lin Ming, who had almost given up on finding a higher level of body-refining techniques, saw this last glimmer of hope.

Inside the enormous room, before the others could react, Lin Ming unleashed his fastest speed, arriving before the purple energy cluster in an instant.

Then, under the watchful eyes of several people, his hand, like the claw of a hunting eagle, instantly reached out to grab the purple energy ball.

As Lin Ming reached his hand into the purple energy cluster, the tingling sensation intensified, Lin Ming almost pulled his hand back.

If Lin Ming withdraws his hand now, the ball of purple energy will definitely return to the energy shield on the other side within that time, and Lin Ming will miss his chance.

Even if another energy cluster with large energy fluctuations appears, the time Library Pavilion is about to end, and there won't be enough time to acquire it.

So, at that moment, Lin Ming, bracing his almost numb arm, forcefully inserted his palm into the energy ball.

As Lin Ming reached into the purple energy cluster and touched the scroll inside, a massive electric current struck Lin Ming.

In an instant, the hair on Lin Ming's body stood on end, and his hair stood on end pointing skyward. The encounter happened in a flash, before Lin Ming could even react.

If it were anyone else, they would instinctively let go at that moment and fling the scroll that was discharging electricity away.

Lin Ming, who possessed powerful Soul Power, instinctively loosened his grip for a moment, but as soon as he did, he realized what was happening and immediately gripped the scroll even tighter, pulling it desperately out of the energy cluster.

The scroll within the purple energy cluster seemed to sense that it had been grasped again, and released another surge of electricity, causing Lin Ming's hair, which was just beginning to relax, to stand up again.

Once again struck by the scroll's electric current, the pain and tingling sensation remained, but because he had already experienced it once, this time, the electric shock did not cause Lin Ming to instinctively let go. Lin Ming held the scroll tightly, trying to pull it out of the purple energy ball.

Within a few breaths, the scroll within the purple light cluster released several streams of electricity, scorching Lin Ming to a crisp.

Even now, Lin Ming's once impeccable appearance is completely ruined. Not only is his hair disheveled, but he also reeks of burnt electricity. The scroll within the purple light cluster has weakened considerably after these discharges, and even the current it released earlier seems much smaller to Lin Ming.

As Lin Ming struggled against the purple light, a suction force emanated from the energy shield inside the room. Lin Ming saw the two scrolls he had taken flying towards the Energy Shield on the wall under the suction force.

After the purple energy ball in Lin Ming's hand was drawn in by the suction force, its resistance increased, trying to break free from Lin Ming's grasp.

They watched as the two scrolls they had chosen were drawn to an Energy Shield, about to enter and disappear.

At this moment, Lin Ming had no choice but to gamble everything and obtain the scroll inside the purple energy cluster; otherwise, Lin Ming would return empty-handed from his visit to the Library Pavilion.

"Come out!" At this moment, Lin Ming unleashed his immense Spiritual Strength and all his Dou Qi, converging them in his palm within the purple light. Together with Lin Ming, who was forcefully pulling on the scroll, he exerted force on the scroll.

Under Lin Ming's desperate tug, the scroll inside the purple energy cluster was gradually moved from the center to the edge, then left the cluster and was held in Lin Ming's hand.

Looking at the scroll he had finally managed to retrieve, Lin Ming exhaled a breath of stale air. A pungent, burnt smell escaped from Lin Ming mouth, the result of the electric shock that had accumulated inside Lin Ming.

After exhaling a breath of stale air, Lin Ming felt much more comfortable. He didn't know if it was because he had obtained the scroll, because he had actually exhaled the stale air, or because of both.

Inside the room, apart from the item each of Lin Ming and his group of five was holding, everything else was sucked back into the Energy Shield by its Energy Shield force.

The large room was as clean and tidy as when Lin Ming and his group arrived. Apart from the overhead light source, the dozen or so Energy Shield on the walls, and Lin Ming and his group, there was nothing else.

Only then did Lin Ming begin to look at the scroll in his hand.

The scroll is purple and has some Lightning Pattern on it, which converge into some characters on the surface of the scroll.

"Purple Lightning Radiant Body Technique, Body Refining Fighting Skill, Profound Tier High-grade."

"Hahaha..."

Upon seeing the characters on the scroll, Lin Ming couldn't help but burst into laughter.

For Lin Ming at this Profound Tier High-grade Xuan-rank Body Refining Fighting Skill is perfect. It allows him to achieve results in a relatively short time, and its power is still formidable.

The hardships Lin Ming had endured to obtain the Purple Lightning Radiant Body Technique Dou Technique Scroll felt worthwhile at this moment, as it had brought him considerable reward.

Lin Ming's loud laughter drew the attention of Lin Ming others present. Sensing their gazes, Lin Ming stopped laughing, scratched his head, and said, "Time's up, let's get out of here!"

After Lin Ming finished speaking, he was the first to walk towards the dark passage he had come from, and then disappeared into the room. Seeing Lin Ming leave, the others did not linger any longer and all headed towards the dark passage.

"Creak!"

The tightly closed door was slowly opened once again.

Lin Ming and his group of five, who were almost at the gate, couldn't wait to walk out after the gate was opened and they saw the light outside, and went to the steps in front of the gate.

After Lin Ming and his group of five walked out of the gate, the gate opened again with a sound, then slowly closed again until it was completely shut, restoring it to the way it had been when Lin Ming and his group first arrived.

The instant the door slammed shut, Lin Ming and his group of five felt a massive, invisible energy sweep over them. Lin Ming felt that with such an attack, he would be utterly powerless to resist and would be crushed into dust.

Fortunately, the invisible energy seemed to only serve a scanning purpose; after scanning Lin Ming and the other four, it subsided and dissipated.

"Time's up, everyone leave. Remember, you must not reveal a single thing about what happened here today, including the information inside the Library Pavilion." A hoarse voice came from one of the gray-robed men, striking straight to the heart of Lin Ming and his companions.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ming and the others immediately bowed their heads and said, "Yes."

"Hehe, everyone's out? Uh, Lin Ming, what happened to you?" Vice Dean Hu Gan said happily when he saw Lin Ming and the other four come out. But when he saw Lin Ming looking like he'd been electrocuted, he questioned him.

"It's nothing, I just got shocked a few times by the energy current on the scroll when I was picking up a Dou Technique scroll," Lin Ming replied simply in response to Vice Dean Hu Gan's question.

"Looks like Lin Ming, you've had a good haul!"

Hu Gan knew the situation inside the Library Pavilion. To put Lin Ming in this state using only the energy of the scroll, it was definitely not something an ordinary item could accomplish.

Moreover, judging from Lin Ming's relaxed reply, he must have already obtained that item; otherwise, he wouldn't have replied so casually.

However, once inside the Library Pavilion, what one can obtain is entirely up to one's own abilities, so Hu Gan didn't intend to ask Lin Ming what specific items he had obtained. Instead, he inquired about the others.

"And what about the rest of you? You all made some gains, none of you left empty-handed, right?"
