Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 88 Three Skill Books

“‘Rainbow Chases Sun Body Method’, auxiliary body method magic skill. Upper Grade of Middle Level Human Realm. Suitable for disciples in Martial Disciple, Martial Soldier Realm. No requirement on Qi property. In the finest stage, one can fly over 30 meters in the air at a speed of 40 meters per second, like a rainbow in the sky.”

Ding Hao considered for a while and put it back.

Although the power of this skill was not too bad, it seemed that it was still a little short of his requirements.

He then took out another book.

“‘First Obscure Dust Body Method’, auxiliary body method magic skill. Lower Grade of Upper Level Human Realm. Suitable for disciples in two-apertured Martial Disciple Realm and above. Matches wind Qi property cultivation perfectly. Goes well with gold, wood, and earth property Qi. Does not agree with fire and water property Qi cultivation. In the finest state, one can fly over and 40 meters at a speed of 40 meters per second, as swift and obscure as scattering dust...”

Ding Hao shook his head since it still could not live up to his original expectations, then he put it back in place.

He turned to another jade bookcase and pulled out a small box in front of him.

“‘All-around Golden Body’, auxiliary physical exercise magic skill, Upper Grade of Middle Level Human Realm. Suitable for disciples in Martial Disciple Realm or above. Matches gold, fire Qi property cultivation. Does not agree with Qi property cultivation. In the finest stage, one can get a nine-layered golden body, and can resist fire below one hundred degrees, or withstand the mortal weapon attack from opponents in the same realm...”

What a powerful golden body method!

Ding Hao couldn’t help marveling at its resistance to flame burning and sword chopping. This “All-around Golden Body” was really good.

However, Ding Hao himself did not belong to the gold category, and it was also not a good time to expose his fire saber technique Qi in the middle dantian to the world. Therefore, after weighing many times, Ding Hao reluctantly chose to put it back.

It seemed that it was not an easy task to choose the most suitable magic skill book from more than 600 books. One could easily get lost in the ocean of books. Soon, nearly an hour had passed and Ding Hao only had three hours left.

At this time, Saber Master and Sword Master, those two old monsters, finally could not bear him anymore.

“Little Chap Ding, you are doing it wrong,” said Sword Master seriously.

“First of all, you should figure out your strengths and weaknesses and find out what kind of skills you need most.” Saber Master also sounded earnest.

Then, Sword Master continued to coach him. “Only when you choose a clear direction can you make the best choice for yourself.”

Saber Master wanted to say more but suddenly found Sword Master had finished the words for her. Thus she could only bitterly nodded. “Exactly.”

After hearing this, Ding Hao suddenly felt a sense of soberness and openness.

“That’s right, I’m really lost in so many choices at the moment, but I haven’t really thought about what kind of magic or combat skill I need.”

“Why don’t you give me some advice?” Ding Hao smiled happily and said, “Both of you are masters of the world and have seen so many things that were beyond imagination for a fool like me. If you decide which secret book is suitable, it will definitely be the most suitable for me.”

“Wahahaha, Little Chap Ding, well done, you really have a keen eye.” Sword Master was elated by the flattery.

“Haha, little fellow, although I know you are flattering me, I still appreciate your honest style.” Saber Master also laughed joyfully.

The two vain guys boasted for a while, pondered a little and gave some suggestions.

“In your current situation, you’ll need a book on body methods, a book on golden body skill to temper your body, and a sword skill to enhance your attack power.” Sword Master gave the answer.

“Yes, in the aspect of Qi cultivation, you have ‘Taixuan Sword-seeking Scripture’ and ‘One Saber to Begin Your Journey Technique’. They’re almost the most perfect basic mental cultivation methods. They’re still useful even when you’re in the nine-apertured Martial Soldier Realm. In addition, the problem is, you do not have any golden body method in body tempering. However, the Stunning Steps body movement, the Cross Style sword skill, and Lightning-Chasing Central Swordsmanship sword skill don’t match your current strength and progress anymore. Therefore, a body method skill, a golden body skill, and a sword technique skill with strong attack power are your best choices at present.”

This time, Saber Master was so afraid of Sword Master stealing her lines that she finished those words in an instant.

Sword Master originally wanted to say something more, but only to find that he had nothing else to say, hence he had to add bitterly with his teeth gritted, “The crazy woman is absolutely right.”

Ding Hao’s eyes lit up at the moment.

They were indeed two old monsters. Their analysis was so accurate that Ding Hao could not find a flaw in them.

Despite the two old monsters bickering with each other in their minds, Ding Hao began to cheerfully picked books one by one on the third floor of the library according to his own needs.

“‘The Jade Pure One Floral Body Method’... Well, not you.”

“‘White Crane in Heaven Body Movement’... not you.”

“‘Pangu Seven Kills Golden Body’...”

“‘Thundering Reincarnation Golden Body’...”

“‘Thunder Fire Lanshan Sword Technique’...”

“‘Flowing Light Danxia Sword Technique’...”

“‘Lotus Flying Bird Style’”

Ding Hao kept turning over and putting back small boxes one by one. He was much faster when he had a clear goal in his heart.

Time flew by.

After some time, finally, Ding Hao almost read all the more than six hundred boxes of skills, and had picked out three most qualified skills in the ocean of books.

“Yan Tao Mi Li Technique”!

Auxiliary body method skill. Lower Grade of Human Rank Highest Grade. It contained four techniques respectively named “Yan (Smoke)”, “Tao (Wave)”, “Mi (Unpredictable)”, and “Li (Blurry)”. It was suitable for all property Qi cultivation. In the extreme stage, one could act blurry and unpredictable like smoke waves. He would be unreachable like ghosts. It helped improve the reaction speed of the practitioner. It worked best with sword technique. The disadvantage was that the practitioner needed to have extremely great comprehension and talent.

“Ice and Fire Nine Turns Golden Body”!

Auxiliary body tempering skill. Lower Grade of Human Rank Highest Grade. Suitable for water and fire Qi cultivation. It was divided into nine layers. Each layer was a turn. After cultivating nine turns, one could resist fire and water, be invulnerable to bullets and guns, and owned an enhanced recovery ability. The disadvantage was that the cultivation process was painful and slow, and a specific cultivation environment was required.

“Dragon King’s Water-Splitting Style”!

Swordsmanship with super attack power. Medium Grade of Human Rank Highest Grade. Suitable for water Qi cultivation. It contained nine strokes, which were divided into thirty-six styles. Its attack power was far stronger than the sword technique of the same grade. Its effect could be superimposed and could also conjure up a dragon aura. The disadvantage was that it required extremely strong fencing talent and comprehension, and required a body above the first grade. Only in this way could one fully cultivate the technique!

These were the three skill books that Ding Hao finally chose.
