Chapter 19: Ten Thousand Thunders Body Refining
Hearing the sound of the door closing behind him, Xiao Yun didn't think much about it. He glanced at the four people beside him who were still a little panicked, and strode into the passage was not very long. After walking for about three minutes, Xiao Yun saw a pale yellow light in front of him.
Walking out of the passage, what appeared in front of Xiao Yun was an extremely spacious room. On the walls around the room, there were nearly twenty energy shields, and the pale yellow light came from these energy shields.
In the room, the other four people arrived shortly after. "Is this the energy layer that the vice-president mentioned? These treasures are floating in the air. Do we have to jump up and reach in?" Fang Wen, who arrived first among the four, spoke.
"Let's wait and see." Looking at the puzzled expressions of the four people, Xiao Yun, who knew what was going on, said that there was no need to explain because they would know how to get it in a while.
Just as Xiao Yun's voice fell, there was suddenly a slight sound of breaking wind in the room. Although the sound was extremely subtle, to the great fighting masters in the room, it was like thunder in the sky.
"Something is coming." Fang Wen changed his position according to the direction of the sound. He saw a purple-red light shooting out from the energy shield and was grabbed by Fang Wen who was closest to it.
The purple-red light slowly dissipated, and a scroll wrapped in an energy layer appeared in Fang Wen's hand.
"Intermediate Xuan-level technique, Thunder and Fire Technique."
Holding the scroll in his hand, Fang Wen simply reached his hand in gently and found that he could pass through the energy layer without any hindrance and took the scroll out directly.
Watching Fang Wen's operation, the other three people suddenly realized. At this time, groups of energy balls of different colors continued to spray out from the energy shield, and then kept shuttling in the room, making a whistling sound of breaking wind.
The three of them followed suit, jumping up continuously and stopping the energy balls in the air one by one.
Xiao Yun did not blindly try to grab the energy balls like the others did. Instead, he maximized his soul perception to sense those powerful energy balls of light.
"Low-level earth-level fighting skill, Thunder Hand."
"Xuan-level advanced technique, fire-refining and burning."
"Sixth-grade high-grade medicinal material, Heavenly Jade Fruit."
……
Time passed by little by little, and Xiao Yun failed to obtain what he wanted after several attempts. The best thing among them, apart from the low-level Earth-rank fighting skills with mismatched attributes, was the Tian Fei Fruit, which was the most valuable. But this was not what Xiao Yun, who was only a third-rank alchemist, needed.
As time continued to run out, everyone around him got what they wanted, but Xiao Yun still had nothing in his hands. "There's not enough time." Muttering to himself, Xiao Yun's soul power became increasingly tense.
At a certain moment, his soul power was stretched to the extreme, and his heart trembled suddenly. The soul perception that filled the entire room detected a very small fluctuation and transmitted it back to his mind. His tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and Xiao Yun's figure shot into the air like a cannonball. He stretched his right hand upwards and firmly grasped a ball of silver energy in his palm.
Xiao Yun landed steadily on the ground, stretched out his left hand gently, and his palm passed through the energy layer unhindered. Four large characters were engraved on the scroll that came into view.
"Ten Thousand Thunders Body Refining!"
The pupils in his eye sockets shrank slightly, and Xiao Yun looked at the scroll in his hand in shock, "Could this be the Thunder Clan's physical training method? Dean Mang Tianchi is really generous. He even placed this kind of training method in the library." As Xiao Yun took out the scroll, the speed of the various energy balls that were originally flying in the air also slowed down, and then the energy shield burst out with a powerful suction force, sucking all the energy balls into it.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yun and the other five realized that half an hour had passed. Fortunately, everyone got what they wanted. They looked at each other and returned to the passage they came from. As the five people left, the vortex-like energy shields around the huge room began to slowly shrink.
After a moment, the energy shield turned into small dots, and disappeared completely with a slight click. At this time, the huge room became empty. No one could have imagined that there had been countless treasures and skills here that were enough to cause a sensation in the outside world.
"Crench."
When Xiao Yun and his companions reached the end of the corridor, the door that had been tightly closed suddenly opened slowly. The warm sunlight from outside shone in through the gap in the door, leaving a long streak of light in the dark corridor.
The door opened, and Xiao Yun and others came out one after another. Looking at the beautiful scenery outside the building, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as if they had seen the light of day again.
Seeing the five people walk out, an old man in a gray robe who was sitting cross-legged at the gate moved, and a vast energy wave swept over Xiao Yun and others, making them feel as if everything around them had been seen through.
"Okay, you have followed the rules. Now the time is up and you can leave. One more thing, all information about the library must not be disclosed to the outside world, even if you have gained something from it." A hoarse voice sounded, echoing in everyone's ears.
Xiao Yun and his companions bowed and agreed quickly, promising not to leak any information about the library.
"Come out, you guys all didn't return empty-handed, did you?" Hu Qian, who had been waiting outside the pavilion, said with a smile when he saw everyone coming out.
"No……"
"That's good. No matter whether what you get is what you like or not, it is better than returning empty-handed."
Hu Qian smiled at everyone, turned around and bowed slightly to the two gray-robed elders at the door who looked like stone sculptures, and said, "Since these little guys have already got the things, I won't disturb the two elders from their meditation."
The two old men did not react and remained as indifferent as before.
Hu Qian didn't care. He took the lead and led everyone back to the passage they came from.
……
In the spacious and bright study, Hu Qian watched the secret door on the wall behind the desk slowly close, then he turned around and looked at the five people standing in the room, smiling and said, "Well, you have received your reward. Have a good rest when you go back. Remember to come here tomorrow and I will lead you to the inner courtyard then."
When everyone heard Hu Qian's words, they nodded quickly to remember them. Just as they were about to leave, another voice came from behind them.
"Also, let me tell you, as a freshman, if you want to avoid being bullied by seniors when you enter the inner courtyard, in addition to having strong fists, you must also put aside your grudges and support each other. Otherwise, when you enter the inner courtyard, the consequences will not be good."
"Don't think that you are stronger than them just because you are in the top five. The students who entered the inner courtyard were originally the best in the outer courtyard. In addition, the inner courtyard has unique cultivation resources. With your current cultivation level, you can only be considered as the middle and lower level."
