Chapter 1434: Choice

He walked toward the other two offering tables and also reviewed the effects of the other two 7th-level Secret Arts.

The remaining two are the Lake Trigram and the Water Trigram.

Lake is marsh, the skill position is attack-support type.

【Dream Mire】: 7th-level Secret Art, requires Spirit System comprehension value greater than 4000 to learn.

Skill effect: Drags all enemies within the willpower range into the dream; if unable to escape the dream, they die after 30 seconds; if they escape, for every 3 seconds spent in the dream they lose 10% of all attributes, this state lasts 60 seconds and cannot be dispelled. Casting chant 5 seconds, consumes 55 million Divine Origin Power, cooldown 1800 seconds.

Spirit System principles…… In this aspect Xiao Feng also cannot get a foothold.

Although this skill is very powerful, it can be called monstrous, but he can only give up.

Water is water, the skill position is also support-oriented.

【Weak Water Disaster】: 7th-level Secret Art, draws the Heavenly River to flow backward into the mortal world; wherever the Heavenly River's weak water passes, all enemies' movement speed is reduced by 90%, they lose 10 trillion life points per second spent there, allied targets are not affected by the slowdown and instead recover 10 trillion life points per second, lasting 300 seconds, consumes 100 million Divine Origin Power, usable once per hour.

This skill is the same as the Black Tortoise Battle Body, has no comprehension value requirement, but likewise needs 100 million Divine Origin Power to be released.

Xiao Feng couldn't help but have a headache.

Four 7th-level Secret Arts, two of them have extremely high comprehension value requirements; he doesn't even qualify to learn them in the short term.

And the two that he can learn have astonishing consumption.

【Black Tortoise Battle Body】 to him is basically an invincible 60-minute state; within 60 minutes all attributes increase by 1,000,000 times, output explodes, it's hard to even want to die, but only physical-system skills can be used.

【Weak Water Disaster】 is a strong support skill that continually expands its range; in his hands it can also kill enemies, in PVP it can be called invincible, but for peak PVE it seems to have little benefit.

In battles against players, Xiao Feng actually doesn't need to learn too many big skills; he's already very strong now.

After screening, it seems he can only choose the 【Black Tortoise Battle Body】.

As a magic-system profession, this feeling is not pleasant.

"Why not learn an output skill instead?"

Xiao Feng thought to himself.

The Annihilation Spear's lethality is terrifying; to him it is a killing skill, enough to threaten a Golden Immortal Peak boss!

But……

Upon further thought, if he uses the Strength Sect skill "Break Thousand Mountains" while in the Black Tortoise Battle Body state, wouldn't that be even more terrifying?

Although he is not a physical profession, his strength is not low, and he also has the Clone Talent.

In the future, with his main body accompanied by three clones, if they all activate the Black Tortoise Battle Body together, the scene would absolutely be more spectacular than four Annihilation Spears!

So, he still has to choose a form skill!

"That's it!"

Xiao Feng made up his mind and took off the 【Black Tortoise Battle Body】.

The skill book of the 【Black Tortoise Battle Body】 is neither paper nor a scroll, but a piece of tortoise shell.

This tortoise shell is about the size of a palm, entirely black, seemingly the shell of the "Black Tortoise" after which it is named.

The Black Tortoise is one of the Four Sacred Beasts; in terms of bloodline grade, it is definitely a 9th-level spirit beast.

This shed shell is not a treasure; it is merely used to record a battle body secret art, and after learning it it almost automatically disintegrates.

The moment Xiao Feng took it off, the surrounding space trembled slightly, as if some restriction had been triggered.

Before he could examine the tortoise shell closely, a voice suddenly sounded in the top-floor hall of the Transmission Tower.

"Little brat, are you satisfied?"

The voice was female, the tone gentle, without malice.

Xiao Feng raised his eyes and looked around, but saw no one.

But his intuition told him the speaker was definitely an expert!

The most famous person of Yunchu Shan is precisely a female sword fairy; he immediately guessed and asked, "Are you Senior Wu Xin Dao Zun?"

"Not bad."

That voice replied.

The surrounding space trembled.

A figure suddenly appeared before Xiao Feng, without even a void vortex, as if directly teleported in.

She was quite close, less than one meter away.

A pressure surged toward him, and Xiao Feng instinctively stepped back three steps.

Taking a closer look, the figure before him was a woman in white cloth clothing, under 1.6 meters tall, rather petite.

Her appearance was not extraordinarily beautiful, merely above-average looks.

She looked plain and simple, without makeup or accessories, just like an ordinary village girl.

Moreover, her aura was also ordinary, without any obvious strong-person presence.

However, upon suddenly seeing her, that unfathomable feeling still made people instinctively feel a sense of awe.

"Junior Xiao Feng greets Wu Xin Dao Zun." Xiao Feng performed a salute.

Wu Xin Dao Zun glanced at him indifferently.

After a moment he said, "Using my sword to pass through my trial, aren't you ashamed?"

"Uh……"

Xiao Feng felt awkward.

He scratched his head and gave an embarrassed smile, saying, "Senior, please forgive me; I just wanted to obtain a stronger secret art to gain more confidence."

Wu Xin Dao Zun also said, "In ten years you'll still have to use the secret art I gave you to fight my junior sister; you really have no shame."

These words carried a light tone of reproach.

Obviously Xun Shuang Xianzi had already told her about the events of these past days, as well as that "ten-year agreement."

Xiao Feng hurriedly said, "No need, no need; at that time I will definitely not use the Black Tortoise Battle Body, and will challenge Xun Shuang Xianzi relying solely on my own abilities!"

Although it wasn't the first time doing something shameless, but in front of seniors, I still felt somewhat ashamed.

Moreover, this big shot in front of him is the true owner of the Slaying Dao Sword, and he fears that a careless mistake might upset the other party, causing him to take the Slaying Dao Sword back.

"That's best." Wu Xin Dao Venerable accepted his promise.

Then he said: "Do you know why I came to see you?"

Xiao Feng shook his head: "Junior is dull; please, senior, enlighten me!"

Incidentally, he glanced at her basic information.

【Yunchu Shan Chief Disciple—Wu Xin】

Level: 2500 (Great Luo Realm)

HP: Unknown

Note: She knows you're looking at her!

Xiao Feng: ……

Level 2500 is quite scary.

What's even scarier is that the act of checking the information was discovered by her!

Wu Xin Dao Venerable glanced lightly at Xiao Feng.

Fortunately, there was no blame intended; he simply said: "You already know that your cultivation method shares the same origin as my junior sister's. I came today to remind you of a few things, lest you go astray."

"Going astray? Senior, what do you mean by that? Could it be that I'm heading in the wrong direction?" Xiao Feng wondered.

Although his cultivation method "Dao Capacity" isn't as high as the "Original Scripture", it's not necessarily wrong, right?

Wu Xin Dao Venerable replied: "What you've learned is too miscellaneous; it may seem strong for now, but it's not a long-term plan. Sometimes, you need to learn to pick and choose, specialize in one path, to go further."

Miscellaneous……specialization?

Xiao Feng frowned slightly.

He himself knows this; what he's studied now includes magic, Heavenly Dao system, Sword Cultivator system, source-attribute self-comprehension skills, special Secret Art, and many other types.

Each type has its own uses, but aside from the "Ninefold Heavenly Dao", other directions don't have much development prospect.

But having learned it, it's not something you can just forget.

He replied: "My years of cultivation are still short after all; I don't have much time to integrate everything. Going forward, I'll pay attention and try to learn fewer useless things."

"If you want to beat my junior sister Xun Shuang, cultivating the Heavenly Dao is too late; you can't compete with her. The same goes for the Sword Dao—her strongest point is swordsmanship, and even after a thousand years you couldn't match her." Wu Xin Dao Venerable said.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng thought: "The formidable Xun Shuang Xianzi's greatest strength is actually swordsmanship?"

It seems her earlier claim of "not skilled in swordsmanship" was indeed false; wearing the Slaying Dao Sword is no joke—it's truly a lethal weapon!

If I can't catch up in swordsmanship nor in Heavenly Dao, how can I catch up to her?

Rely on ten-thousand-times talent to brute-force it?

"Please, senior, give me guidance!" He bowed his head and clasped his fists, earnestly seeking instruction.

Wu Xin Dao Venerable didn't intend to teach him any skill; he simply said: "Go contemplate the origin of all things. As you said, beyond heaven and earth there is still heaven and earth; above the universe there is still universe. Xun Shuang'er's Heavenly Dao is the Dao within all things; only by contemplating the Dao beyond all things can you surpass her."
