Chapter 183

"You want to exchange for a martial technique? Hurry and go in."

The Elder guarding the pavilion picked up the ancient book, preparing to continue reading.

"Elder, you misunderstood. I am not here to exchange for a martial technique inside the pavilion, but from you."

Meng Changqing said, simultaneously taking out that silver token.

"Me?"

The Elder guarding the pavilion was slightly stunned, until he saw the token.

A trace of surprise instantly flashed in his eyes.

This is the Earth Martial Token.

With this token, one can exchange for an Initial-stage Earth Rank martial technique here.

But the Earth Martial Token is not something anyone can obtain.

Even for a True Disciple, it must be the rather outstanding kind.

This young man just entered the Sea Opening Realm and could already get an Earth Martial Token?

However, he did not ask much, but the look in his eyes directed at Meng Changqing was already completely different.

Immediately, he waved his right hand, and two wooden boxes appeared before him.

"Choose one."

Both wooden boxes had names on them.

They were respectively:

"Great Freedom Profound Metal Sword Art"

"Blue Sea Tide Rising Sword Record"

"Is there no Spirit Saint Slaughter Sword Art?"

Meng Changqing raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking in his heart.

Either it is not open to the public, or its rank is higher than these.

"Elder, could you make a recommendation?"

Meng Changqing came back to his senses; there was no need to overthink.

In his current situation, obtaining any Initial-stage Earth Rank martial technique would be enough to greatly increase his strength!

"It depends on personal style."

"If you focus on slaughter, choose the 'Great Freedom Profound Metal Sword Art'. The power of Profound Metal is always extremely sharp, very compatible with the Sword Dao."

"Once perfected, it will not be inferior to an ordinary Mid-stage technique."

The Elder guarding the pavilion paused, "If you lean towards defense, then the 'Blue Sea Tide Rising Sword Record'. This sword technique is quite soft and pliant, skilled at using softness to overcome hardness."

"Understood."

Meng Changqing nodded.

Regarding defense, with the Stone Man bloodline, there is no need to worry too much.

So one only needs to choose the kind that focuses on slaughter.

"Elder, I choose the 'Great Freedom Profound Metal Sword Art'."

Meng Changqing, without hesitation, picked up one of the wooden boxes.

"Hmm."

The Elder guarding the pavilion put the other away. "Old rules: secret manuals may not be taught to others; return them in half a year."

Regarding Meng Changqing's choice, he was not surprised.

Most male disciples choose the former.

After all, the 'Great Freedom Profound Metal Sword Art' not only has strong power, but its fighting style is also very impressive, capable of capturing the admiration of many young ladies.

Most importantly, cultivating this sword art allows one to fly through the air during the Sea Opening Realm, without needing to wait until Creation.

Speaking of returning.

Meng Changqing remembered the 'Sword Step' he borrowed before, and the 'Fire-Scorching Sun Art'; these two secret manuals were still at his original residence.

He must go get them back.

At that time, he will return them together with this secret manual.

"Look quickly! That seems to be... Senior Brother Meng?"

"Damn, it really is!"

Suddenly, exclamations sounded from behind.

Meng Changqing turned around.

He saw that outside the Martial Arts Pavilion, two Mingnei Sect disciples had arrived at some unknown time.

Coincidentally, they were from the Spirit Peak.

Their eyes directed at him were filled with excitement.

Meng Changqing smiled slightly and nodded in greeting.

Immediately, he bowed to the Elder guarding the pavilion, then turned and left.

Although he very much wanted to add the Elder guarding the pavilion as a friend right away, one cannot eat hot tofu in a rush; better to take it slow and think of a good method.

Actually, from these two meetings, some information could also be obtained.

For example, when he came the first time, the Elder guarding the pavilion seemed to like drinking very much, and this time, he seemed to like looking at strange things.

"You two, come here."

After Meng Changqing left, the Elder guarding the pavilion pointed at those two disciples.

"Pay respects to the Elder."

Facing the Elder, the disciple still felt an instinctive fear in his heart.

"Was that person just now very famous?"

The Elder guarding the pavilion asked.

"Yes, yes, of course!"

Once the topic turned to Meng Zhangqing, the two disciples immediately became lively.

"Tell me in detail."

The Elder guarding the pavilion immediately perked up his ears.

In this day and age, few things could still interest him.

A moment later.

Amidst the two disciples' story, told in bits and pieces from left and right.

The Elder guarding the pavilion finally understood the situation.

On his aged face, intense shock surged for the first time!

Comprehending the sword momentum!

Nearly slaying a bloodline beast!

This is not something anyone can do; either one alone carries extremely high difficulty.

Yet now they are concentrated in a single person.

"What a fine young man!"

The Elder guarding the pavilion could finally confirm his perception from over a month ago.

His perception back then was not wrong.

There was indeed the flavor of 'momentum'.

"This is absolutely genius-level."

The Elder guarding the pavilion let out a light sigh.

Moreover, from the words of these two disciples, one could discover a terrifying piece of information.

That was that this disciple named Meng Zhangqing seemed to have comprehended the sword momentum while still in the Outer Sect, that is, at the Tempered Meridian Realm!

This is truly terrifying.

Sword momentum is a profound mystery of the martial arts.

An existence extremely difficult to comprehend.

Even those top-tier True Disciples and geniuses of the various meridians basically only comprehended it one by one after entering the True Disciple ranks.

After all, to comprehend momentum, talent alone is not enough; one also needs vast cultivation, a foundation in martial arts knowledge, and in short, a great deal of everything.

Therefore, it is generally comprehended at the Sea Opening Realm, through accumulated strength breaking forth.
