Cultivating in Public

Standing inside Star Pavilion, Xiao Yun held the third-rate combat technique, Mountain-Splitting Fist, his face filled with displeasure.

The strange looks from the people around him only made his mood worse.

Lin Xiaoya, beside him, tried to comfort him. "Senior Brother, don't be angry. Maybe Star Pavilion made a mistake."

Someone nearby laughed. "Lin Xiaoya, Star Pavilion has existed for countless years. It has never made a mistake."

Lin Xiaoya glared at that person and snapped, "My Senior Brother reached the extreme realm in a single day. Do you think his talent is lacking?"

"Th-this..." The man was immediately left speechless.

This was also what everyone found puzzling.

How could someone who reached the extreme realm in a single day possibly possess ordinary aptitude?

There were simply too many unanswered questions!

Xiao Yun sighed inwardly. Only he understood that making the Chaos Bell ring nine times and reaching the extreme realm in a single day had both depended on the system placing him in a state of enlightenment.

As for his talent...

Sigh, forget it. The more said, the more tears would fall.

"Damn it, I have a system anyway. So what if my talent is poor? I'll still rise to greatness!" Xiao Yun quickly pulled himself together. Looking at Star Pavilion before him, anger surged within him.

"Star Pavilion, listen carefully! My talent does not need your judgment. My fate is mine, not Heaven's. As for my own combat techniques, I decide for myself. Hurry up and bring out all your strongest combat techniques for me to choose from."

Xiao Yun immediately shouted toward the sky.

Lin Xiaoya was dazed by the sight. Looking at her Senior Brother's domineering bearing, her pretty face flushed faintly, and her large, dark eyes sparkled with little stars. "Senior Brother looks unbelievably handsome like this!"

Above Star Pavilion, the Supreme Elders and elders could not help smiling at Xiao Yun's words.

"This brat is actually still unwilling to accept it!"

"That is only natural. Since he reached the extreme realm in a single day, of course he would not believe that his talent is poor."

"I wonder what choice the Supreme Elder guarding Star Pavilion will make!"

They all watched curiously.

A place as important as Star Pavilion naturally had a Supreme Elder stationed there, known as the Star Pavilion Supreme Elder.

As everyone discussed the matter, stars glittered within Star Pavilion. The several dozen brightest stars suddenly descended and appeared before Xiao Yun.

Clearly, the Star Pavilion Supreme Elder had decided to let Xiao Yun choose his own combat techniques.

"Star Pavilion is actually letting him choose his own combat techniques!" The others inside Star Pavilion widened their eyes in shock, then all looked toward the 'starlight' in front of Xiao Yun.

At this moment, the starlight gradually dispersed, revealing several dozen ancient books.

Nine-Turn Tyrant Fist, Taiji Divine Palm, God-Slaying Freehand Technique, Nine Heavens Divine Might, Eight Trigrams Cosmic Palm, Divine Wind Step, Myriad Blades Converging Sea, One Sword Across Ages, Heaven-Slaying Sword-Drawing Form...

The several dozen combat techniques were all Super Combat Techniques. The sight left everyone stunned, their eyes burning with fervor.

Of course, they merely envied him. If they truly had to choose, they would not choose them either.

After all, the higher the grade of a combat technique, the more difficult it was to cultivate.

The Body Refining Realm was merely a cultivator's first realm. They did not want to waste too much time in this realm; it simply was not worth it.

Even if you were invincible in the Body Refining Realm, an expert in the Divine Bridge Realm could still kill you in an instant.

Only geniuses, whose cultivation speed was extraordinarily fast and whose futures were boundless, would constantly excavate their own potential in the Body Refining Realm and forge an unsurpassable foundation.

Ordinary people would never do such a thing...

Meanwhile, looking at the many Super Combat Techniques before him, Xiao Yun could not help raising his head and asking, "Star Pavilion, why are there only Super Combat Techniques? Are there no Ultimate Combat Techniques?"

Everyone was speechless. Super Combat Techniques still were not enough for him? He even wanted Ultimate Combat Techniques?

Star Pavilion seemingly had not expected Xiao Yun to ask this, and fell silent for a moment.

At that moment, the Supreme Elders and elders above Star Pavilion also smiled and shook their heads.

"This brat does not even understand what an Ultimate Combat Technique means. Di Tian, as his master, you are rather negligent!" A Supreme Elder could not help teasing Di Tian.

Di Tian's old face reddened. Looking at Xiao Yun below, he reminded him, "Disciple, so-called Ultimate Combat Techniques are created by oneself. They are more suited to one's own cultivation and can unleash one's greatest power, which is why they are called Ultimate Combat Techniques."

"The Super Combat Techniques before you are, in truth, Ultimate Combat Techniques to the masters who created them. In your hands, they can only display the power of Super Combat Techniques. Unless you can create higher-level moves based upon them, those would become your own Ultimate Combat Techniques."

Inside Star Pavilion, Xiao Yun was startled when he heard Di Tian's voice. "Master, why are you here?"

Di Tian said, "Choose your combat technique quickly. Do not be greedy and indiscriminate; choose one kind and that will be enough. The Body Refining Realm is only a cultivator's first realm. There is no need to waste too much time."

Xiao Yun was immediately displeased upon hearing that. He shouted, "This disciple simply wants to let Star Pavilion see whether my talent is truly good enough!"

With that, Xiao Yun grabbed all six Super Combat Techniques before him: Nine-Turn Tyrant Fist, Taiji Divine Palm, God-Slaying Freehand Technique, Divine Wind Step, Myriad Blades Converging Sea, and Heaven-Slaying Sword-Drawing Form.

Everyone inside Star Pavilion was dumbfounded, staring at Xiao Yun as if he were a lunatic.

Cultivating six Super Combat Techniques—did he intend to remain in the Body Refining Realm for several centuries? This was simply idiotic behavior.

Above Star Pavilion, Di Tian was also utterly speechless when he saw Xiao Yun's actions, his face dark with frustration.

Across from him, Supreme Elder Tian Yi mocked, "Di Tian, let us not discuss this boy's talent for now, but his brain seems to have water in it. You will need to teach him properly in the future. Hehe, even a Holy Son would need more than a hundred years to cultivate six Super Combat Techniques."

Di Tian's expression became incomparably unsightly.

Inside Star Pavilion.

Xiao Yun glanced at everyone and sneered inwardly. Did they really think he was an idiot? He was only using this action to provoke their cries of astonishment and create a sensation, thereby earning system rewards.

Sure enough, when Xiao Yun checked the system, he found that his number of enlightenment opportunities had become nineteen, increasing by another six.

Clearly, making Star Pavilion 'hand over' Super Combat Techniques had shocked everyone. Later, choosing six Super Combat Techniques at once had shocked them again, which counted as completing two system missions.

These enlightenment opportunities are ridiculously easy to obtain. How should I make them cry out in surprise again? Hmm... I've got it!

Suddenly, Xiao Yun's eyes lit up. Thinking of a method, he immediately took Nine-Turn Tyrant Fist from his robes and opened it.

Whoosh! The moment he opened Nine-Turn Tyrant Fist, the book transformed into golden words that rushed into Xiao Yun's mind.

At once, the cultivation method for Nine-Turn Tyrant Fist appeared in Xiao Yun's mind.

System, I want to use one enlightenment opportunity! Xiao Yun silently called out. He intended to cultivate Nine-Turn Tyrant Fist to the perfected realm in public, making everyone cry out in astonishment once more.

Meanwhile, the people around him, as well as the Supreme Elders and elders above Star Pavilion, all watched Xiao Yun's actions curiously.

"What is he trying to do? Why has he closed his eyes? Is he planning to cultivate a combat technique here?"

"What a joke. Super Combat Techniques are extremely difficult to cultivate. Even a Holy Son would find it difficult to succeed without ten or more years."

"Is this brat planning to cultivate a Super Combat Technique in public? He is simply grandstanding. How could a combat technique of this level possibly be mastered in a moment?"

The people around him, along with the Supreme Elders and elders above Star Pavilion, all held little faith in Xiao Yun and shook their heads.

Only Di Tian's gaze sharpened as he stared intently at Xiao Yun below. He had personally witnessed Xiao Yun reach the ninth level in a single day. If Xiao Yun could cultivate even a technique as difficult as the Chaos Scripture to the ninth level in one day, then cultivating these Super Combat Techniques would not be as easy as turning over his hand?

Di Tian's heart immediately filled with anticipation.
