Chapter 270 Combat Skill Steles
At this moment, Luo Xiaobai suggested, “Now, our strength should be pretty much the same. Such being the case, why don’t we enter the palace first? Let’s solve any dispute when we get out of here. What do you think?”
Among the 7-people team, someone nodded immediately, “Okay! We have no objection.”
Although there might be hidden masters among the seven of them, at least on the surface, they were the weakest. Even the team of the masked man and Kong Yunfei looked no weaker than them.
Li Hanyi took a deep look at Luo Xiaobai. “Okay.”
The masked man added, “Alright, maybe some of us will die in this palace.”
At this time, Luo Xiaobai sent the other four a message. We have to guard against these people. After we enter the palace, keep together, and stay alert. With that, Luo Xiaobai pushed the door open with a vine.
Creak!
Han Fei thought the door wouldn’t be pushed open so easily. However, with a “creak”, the door slowly opened.
When they saw the scene behind the door, everyone couldn’t help but frown. They had thought they would see a magnificent palace but what they saw was all steles. Some steles were even broken and only halves were left. There were many steles, with a total of no less than 10,000 pieces, stretching for a distance of 3,000 meters. On the other side of the steles was another palace.
Everyone was surprised that the inside of this beautiful palace seemed to lie waste for many years. What secret was hidden here? They walked in one after another.
Then everyone was relieved. These were not tombstones. Each stele was blank, without a word on it, not even a scratch.
Le Renkuang suddenly hacked at one of the stones. To everyone’s surprise, however, the stele was not damaged at all. Not even a scratch was left.
Zhang Xuanyu exclaimed, “That’s not right! There are many broken stone steles here. Weren’t they destroyed by others?”
Among the team of seven, someone took the lead to walk into the forest of steles. However, just in a few seconds, the ground was shaking slightly. Among the countless stone steles, dozens of them began to shake.
This scene aroused everyone’s curiosity. The boy walked to the stele closest to him, frozen there. At this time, others were surprised to find that this stele became blurred.
Xia Xiaochan said, “There must be something on the stele, but we can’t see it.”
Others also discovered that these steles began to shake when the boy walked up to them.
But then, the boy quickly walked to another stele, stopped for a moment, and then moved to the next stele. When he walked to the eighth stele, about five minutes later, with a “crack”, the stele suddenly broke.
Then the ground stopped trembling and all the shaking stones became silent. The boy still wanted to go forward, but after only two steps, he looked back at the remaining 6 people in his team and seemed to be communicating with them.
These people’s faces changed slightly and they suddenly walked into the forest of steles.
Buzz…
Then thousands of steles began to shake, and the six people scattered, each stopping in front of a stone.
Han Fei and the other four exchanged a glance. “What is attracting them to the stele? Cultivation methods? Combat skills? Or what?”
Luo Xiaobai shrugged. “Let’s go in and see.”
Almost at the same time, Li Hanyi’s team also all entered the forest of steles.
Countless steles began to shake simultaneously. Wherever they were people, the steles were shaking.
This scene scared the boy who was about to leave, and he immediately sprinted towards the opposite palace.
As Kong Yunfei and the masked man entered, all steles began to shake. The scene was spectacular and breathtaking.
After entering the forest of steles, Han Fei suddenly felt as if countless steles were calling him. It felt as if two people on either side of him were trying to drag him to their sides at the same time.
In the beginning, Han Fei didn’t feel anything special. Han Fei walked to a random stele that was calling him and looked at it, only to find a line of words on it.
“Dragon Subduing Fist”
A Spirit-level Low-Quality Combat Skill
With this fist technique, one can attack enemies in all directions and launch explosive punches.
Han Fei blinked. That’s it?
“Huh?”
Han Fei felt a slight fluctuation, which seemed to be the connection between this stele and him, and it seemed that as long as he followed this fluctuation, he could obtain this combat skill.
Han Fei looked around at the others. Some people were switching steles, and some were standing in front of the steles pondering.
Han Fei smiled. This place was just like the library of the Fourth Academy. However, unlike the library where you chose combat skills, here it is the combat skills that chose you. Interesting!
Han Fei ignored this stele. I might as well find combat skills in the library of the Fourth Academy. A random one would be better than this one that was only a spirit-level low-quality combat skill. Then why should I come here at such a big risk?
Along the way, Han Fei was feeling the calling intensity of different stones. Halfway through, he found that their calling intensity had become almost the same.
So Han Fei looked at one of the steles.
“Water Escape Art”
A Demon-level Mid-Quality Combat Skill
A secret method, with which, one can leave the battlefield in an instant by detonating a large amount of spiritual energy, and once mastering it, one can escape a hundred kilometers away in a flash.
Escape a hundred kilometers away in a flash? It sounded great. However, remembering how Wenren Yu could fish up to a thousand kilometers away, Han Fei shook his head. If it was a thousand kilometers, I may consider it. A hundred kilometers is too short.
Han Fei checked the steles one by one and found that almost all of them were demon-level mid-quality combat skills. When there was finally a demon-level high-level combat skill, he was disappointed to find that it was a knife technique.
Han Fei was helpless. My Million Knife Art is a demon-level high-quality technique and the Sword Manipulation Art that I just learned at the door is even a heaven-level high-quality one. Why do I need so many knife techniques?
Crack!
At this time, another person chose a combat skill. As soon as he got it, he immediately ran to the opposite palace.
Le Renkuang sent them a message. Should we choose quickly? I think the combat skills here are not as good as those in our library. Maybe, the good stuff is in the opposing palace…
Han Fei replied, Opportunity is not first come, first served. There won’t be any big difference between going early and going late. Let the weakest go first. We’ll just bring up the rear. No rush.
Xia Xiaochan added, I don’t think it matters. Most of the combat skills here are not suitable for me.
Luo Xiaobai suggested, Let’s check them again.
Han Fei walked out of this area. He was too lazy to check the steles one by one, so he just walked to the one with the strongest summoning power.
“Sea Quelling Hand”
A Heaven-level Mid-Quality Combat Skill
Use your hands as your weapons. Once mastering it, one can tear the ocean apart.
Han Fei’s eyelids twitched. Is this combat skill real? Tear the ocean?! Wow! If I deduce it, will I get a combat skill that can rip the heavens and earth?
“Wait a minute…”
Han Fei frowned. The Sword Manipulation Art at the gate was also a heaven-level combat skill, but why wasn’t its introduction so thrilling? If one could really tear the ocean with this combat skill, why was it only a heaven-level mid-quality one?
Han Fei asked, “Have you found any heaven-level combat skills?”Xia Xiaochan replied, “I saw one, which is about stealth. I don’t need it.”
Zhang Xuanyu called out, “Huh? Are there heaven-level combat skills here? The best I’ve seen is a demon-level high-quality one.”
Le Renkuang nodded. “Me too.”
Luo Xiaobai was also shocked. “You saw a heaven-level combat skill?”
Han Fei nodded slightly. “Yes! But it’s not very suitable for me. I’ll see if there is anything better.”
He was not in a hurry. What if he could find a better combat skill than this Sea Quelling Hand?
After a while, Han Fei almost came to the end of them. He felt that there were tens of thousands of threads connecting him and combat skills, and the strongest of them was connecting to the Sea Quelling Hand. “Wait a minute!”
Han Fei suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a combat skill with the weakest summoning power, not even at the spirit-level. It gave Han Fei the feeling that it was a mortal-level combat skill, at most a mystic-level one.
