An Urgent Problem Solved

Chapter 30: An Urgent Problem Solved

"Li Dingguo, look!"

"Look at these two secret manuals I have in my hands!"

"Hahaha... The essential skills for veteran scouts in the army, specifically emphasized by the Great King: Stealth Technique and Breath Concealment Technique!"

About fifteen minutes later, Li Dingguo, who was engrossed in reading and memorizing, was startled awake by a voice near his ear.

He turned his head and saw none other than Ai Nengqi, the guy whose relationship with him was getting better and better.

He held two ancient-looking books in one hand, raising them high, and excitedly shouted to Li Dingguo.

"Come on! Li Dingguo, one for you, one for me. Let's memorize these two books first!"

During his time wandering and begging, Ai Nengqi had been scared by Demons and Monsters several times. Fortunately, he was lucky and managed to escape in time.

Therefore, he had a considerable fear of those brutal and extremely strange Demons and Monsters in his heart.

As soon as this guy heard about the two special Cultivation Method secret manuals that the Eight Great Kings had emphasized, he purposefully went searching for them as soon as he entered this Library Pavilion.

As expected, after about fifteen minutes, he finally got these two special Cultivation Method secret manuals with extraordinary life-saving effects.

"Alright!"

"I'll also take a look at these two obscure Cultivation Method skills. They're just what I need right now."

Li Dingguo couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart. He wasn't annoyed at being interrupted by Ai Nengqi while reading. He smiled and took a thin secret manual with slightly yellowed pages from Ai Nengqi's hand.

As soon as he looked at the cover, he saw the three large characters for Breath Concealment Technique written on it.

He put the medical book he had been holding aside, picked up the Breath Concealment Technique, and began to slowly and carefully read and memorize it.

"Excellent!"

"This is exactly what I need!"

The biggest problem that had been bothering Li Dingguo during this time was the worry that if his cultivation level broke through too quickly, it was very likely to arouse Zhang Xianzhong's suspicion.

After all, as fellow genius Martial Artists, if you are a step ahead, it's considered your exceptional talent.

But if you are far ahead of other geniuses in the same amount of time, anyone would think you're not normal.

In that case, not to mention the genius youths who usually cultivated with him would be infinitely envious, jealous, and hateful of him, even Zhang Xianzhong, who seemed very generous and amiable, would probably have some thoughts.

In this world where individual martial power is infinitely magnified, who doesn't want their cultivation level to advance by leaps and bounds?

If Li Dingguo's performance was too abnormal, as long as the people familiar with him weren't fools, they would be suspicious.

For Li Dingguo, this added countless risks, and he could easily invite unimaginable future troubles if he wasn't careful.

But after reading this special Cultivation Method skill that was essential for border army scouts, he secretly let out a sigh of relief.

This special Cultivation Method secret manual clearly stated that as long as you cultivate the "Breath Concealment Technique" to the Great Accomplishment realm, you can completely conceal your Vitality and Blood and other auras. Others will not be able to see your true cultivation level, Vitality and Blood, or soul aura unless they personally investigate.

If you can cultivate this Breath Concealment Technique to the Perfected realm, and simultaneously cultivate the other complementary Stealth Technique to the Perfected realm as well, you can completely conceal all of your own auras and also adjust all of your outward Vitality and Blood and soul auras according to your own will.

In that case, even if others personally examine your body, they won't be able to detect that you are disguising yourself.

Everything that outsiders can detect and perceive about you is only what you want to display outwardly.

Of course, these two special skills, like Tiger Roar Fist, are easy to learn but difficult to master.

In all border army scout teams, there are many soldiers who can cultivate both Stealth Technique and Breath Concealment Technique to the Minor Accomplishment realm, but the number who reach the Great Accomplishment or even Perfected realm is very small.

As for the realms above Perfected, such as Profound and Returning to Simplicity, they only exist in legends.

But as long as you can cultivate these two obscure skills to the Minor Accomplishment realm, you can basically hide from Demons and Monsters of the same major realm and can survive relatively smoothly in the wild.

Therefore, Martial Artists who obtain these two obscure techniques will basically spend a lot of time and energy cultivating Stealth Technique and Breath Concealment Technique.

The purpose is to be able to survive better in the wilderness when alone, so as not to be easily discovered by Demons and Monsters, and thus have their whereabouts and aura locked onto, leading to unforeseen dangers.

Since Ai Nengqi had already found these two special Cultivation Method secret manuals first, Li Dingguo certainly wouldn't refuse to learn them.

Everything has its priorities. He knew very well that these two techniques, which could greatly enhance his survival ability, were better to learn as early as possible.

The reason he didn't go directly to search for these two special technique secret manuals after first entering the Library Pavilion was simply because he didn't want others to see his intentions, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble.

After getting the special secret manuals and reading them, Li Dingguo was not disappointed.

His mental strength was now more than double that of Ai Nengqi, having reached the level of photographic memory.

Therefore, when Ai Nengqi finished reading one and exchanged it for the other secret manual, he had already firmly copied this secret manual into his mind.

Half an hour later, Li Dingguo had completely memorized these two special secret manuals, and could even recite them backward.

However, in order not to show off his special mental strength and memory in public, he still patiently waited until Ai Nengqi put down the secret manual in his hand before subsequently putting down the secret manual in his own hand.

"Li Dingguo, it's getting late."

"Let's go back to our rooms and meditate and cultivate together!"

Ai Nengqi stood up and said, "The Great King said that cultivating the main Cultivation Method of the Martial Path is the foundation of a Martial Artist and cannot be avoided."

During this time, he and Li Dingguo had been together day and night, and their relationship was already very good.

Having studied together and fought together, the camaraderie between these youths was inherently pure and basically without any impurities.

What's more, Ai Nengqi greatly admired Li Dingguo's maturity beyond his years and his calm, unruffled demeanor, and had already come to see him as his best friend.

"Alright!"

Li Dingguo also stood up at the same time and said, "You're right, let's go back to our rooms and cultivate our respective True Scripture Cultivation Methods."

"After all, a Martial Artist's cultivation realm is the foundation of everything, and the direction that requires the most effort."

"We've been in this Library Pavilion for almost an hour tonight, it's time to leave."

While he said this, he actually knew that the straightforward and competitive Ai Nengqi was already feeling some pressure and didn't want to be surpassed by Liu Wenxiu and Zhang Huier in terms of Martial Path cultivation.

His thoughts were very simple; he just wanted to always be far ahead, leaving those talented youths in the dust behind him.

Even against Li Dingguo, whose cultivation progress was almost neck-and-neck with his own, Ai Nengqi didn't want to lose.

Seeing Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi leave, Liu Wenxiu and Zhang Huier exchanged glances, also got up, and left the Library Pavilion, heading back towards the wing where their bedrooms were.

They wanted to go to bed early and wake up early, hoping to catch up to Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo's cultivation progress through their own diligent efforts.

With the departure of these four talented youths, the two soldiers guarding the main entrance of the Library Pavilion stood up, extinguished some of the lamps, locked the large door, and then entered a wing room next door. The two of them would take turns resting and keeping watch.

The Eight Great Kings had said that this newly renovated Library Pavilion was the most important place for the Rebel Army, and absolutely no incidents like theft or fire could occur.

Otherwise, the King would not show mercy and would chop off their heads with his blade without the slightest hesitation.
