136: Sharing what you have

Long Chen didn't get angry; he just chuckled and said, "Who can say what the future holds?"

Lu Xingchen shook his head and said with a smile, "War God is too far away for me. I should focus on what's in front of me first. Senior Brother, Senior Sister, I see that we all have our strengths. Senior Brother Long Chen's swordsmanship is extraordinary, Senior Brother Li Fei's defense is very strong, and Senior Sister Jiang E's Mental Energy is very strong."

"I have an idea. Can we share our Cultivation Techniques with each other? If so, our combat power will greatly increase, and we will gain respect and status faster in the Inner Sect."

Long Chen shook his head slightly: "It's not very feasible. Although the secret arts we use can be exchanged, they must be combined with one's Physique to be effective. For example, Junior Brother Lu, your Physique that strengthens you in battle cannot be replicated."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly.

"That is indeed a problem. But I still want to try! Senior Brother, Senior Sister, can you teach me your strengths? Whether I can learn them or not, I am willing to exchange them for that Martial Skill scroll that enhances secret arts."

Upon hearing this, all three were greatly surprised.

They were quite envious of Lu Xingchen's secret art.

If they could raise their Realm to Five-Star Martial King, they would be able to challenge the Senior Disciples of the Inner Sect!

It could be said that Lu Xingchen's offer was very sincere.

Li Fei was the first to nod: "Yes, I can teach Junior Brother Lu my Vajra Barrier."

Long Chen also hastily said, "If Junior Brother Lu is willing to try, I can teach you my swordsmanship, but I can't guarantee that I can teach you successfully."

Lu Xingchen was overjoyed and cupped his hands to the two, saying, "Thank you, Senior Brothers."

Jiang E, however, lowered her head and said in annoyance, "My strength lies in Soul Power, but in the battle to escort the yin yun bell, I saw that Junior Brother Lu already has Mortal Realm Great Perfection Soul Power, so I probably don't need my help."

Lu Xingchen chuckled and said, "It's fine. With our friendship, it's no problem to give you this Heaven Swallowing Art."

Upon hearing this, a look of joy appeared on Jiang E's face, and she smiled, "Since that's the case, I won't be polite."

Lu Xingchen used Soul Power to replicate the Heaven Swallowing Art and threw three scrolls to the three of them.

The three hastily took the scrolls and put them into their Storage Rings.

Long Chen smiled and said, "Junior Brother Lu is truly sincere. However, my swordsmanship cannot be explained clearly in a single scroll. After the Inner Sect assessment, I will explain it to you slowly, one-on-one."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly: "That's natural!"

Li Fei also smiled and said, "Me too. After the Inner Sect assessment, Junior Brother Lu, come find me. I'll tell you the secret of my high defense."

Lu Xingchen nodded again and said with a smile, "I will definitely come to bother you then."

Just then, Li Ya spread his Dou Qi Wings and flew towards everyone.

"I sensed with a Spiritual Artifact that two Thousand Zhang Water Beasts died in the lake. Was it you who did it?"

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Yes, Elder Li Ya, we jointly killed these two Thousand Zhang Water Beasts."

Li Ya nodded slightly: "Not bad! Although the number of Disciples participating in this Inner Sect assessment is small, the quality is good. Four people working together can defeat two Thousand Zhang Water Beasts. The Senior Disciples of the Inner Sect should feel a sense of crisis."

Then he said with a smile, "According to the Sect's rules, as long as an assessment Disciple can kill one Thousand Zhang Water Beast, then all Disciples will pass the assessment and receive a reward from the Sect. Come with me to collect the reward!"

Upon hearing this, joy appeared on the faces of all four.

Hadn't they worked so hard for so long, risking their lives to besiege the Thousand Zhang Water Beasts, for this extra reward?

The four bowed to Li Ya in unison and respectfully said, "Thank you, Elder Li."

Li Ya waved his sleeve and said with a smile, "Come with me!"

The four followed Li Ya away from the lake and arrived at the Library Pavilion.

After Li Ya explained his purpose to the Martial Emperor Realm Elder guarding the Library Pavilion, he took ten scrolls from his hand and placed them in front of the four.

"Here are ten earth rank low grade Martial Skills. Each of you can choose one to take away!"

Long Chen smiled and said, "Junior Brother Lu contributed the most, so you choose first!"

Lu Xingchen stepped forward and said softly, "Since that's the case, I won't be polite."

In the process of killing the two Thousand Zhang Water Beasts, he indeed contributed the most, so it was only right for him to choose the scroll first.

Lu Xingchen opened the ten scrolls and examined them one by one.

He relied on the System to upgrade and didn't need Cultivation Techniques. For Soul Cultivation, he had the Spirit Burning Art, and for offensive Martial Skills, he had the Heaven Obliterating Seal and the Thousand Jin Slash.

Nine of these ten scrolls were not very useful to him.

But one scroll caught his interest.

purple cloud wings: earth rank low grade, flying Martial Skill, helps people below the Martial King Realm gain the ability to fly. If used by people above the Martial King Realm, it can increase flying speed.

It was this "increase flying speed" that attracted Lu Xingchen's attention.

After years of battle, he deeply understood the importance of speed. These purple cloud wings, at a critical moment, might be able to reverse the outcome of a battle!

Lu Xingchen picked up the purple cloud wings and said with a smile, "Elder Li Ya, I've chosen!"

Li Ya nodded slightly: "The other three, come up together!"

Long Chen and the other two then stepped forward and chose their preferred Martial Skills.

Li Ya then handed four tokens to the four and said in a deep voice, "These are your Inner Sect Disciple tokens. They can prove your identity and also record your spirit value balance. There are many Immortal Caves on the 36 peaks of the Inner Sect. You can choose one you like and move in."

The four took the tokens, cupped their hands in unison, and said, "Thank you, Elder Li!"

Li Ya waved his hand: "Alright, go. I have nothing else to say."

Jiang E suggested, "Why don't we live on the same mountain peak! It will be convenient for us to teach each other secret arts and carry out tasks together."

Lu Xingchen smiled and said, "That's fine, I have no problem."

The other two also nodded in agreement.

So the four went together to the 36 peaks to find Immortal Caves, choosing four adjacent Immortal Caves on the mountainside of one peak.

Long Chen and the other two couldn't wait to try the fourth and fifth floors of the Spirit Gathering Pagoda.

Lu Xingchen, however, found a secluded spot on the mountainside.

The first thing he wanted to do was to test the effect of the purple cloud wings.

Lu Xingchen first used the Azure Cloud Wings. His speed was already a bit slow and couldn't keep up with Long Chen and the other two who used Dou Qi Wings.

Then he withdrew the Azure Cloud Wings and used Dou Qi Wings.

His speed was twice that of the Azure Cloud Wings, feeling slightly faster than Long Chen and the other two.

Lu Xingchen then used the purple cloud wings, and his speed indeed greatly increased, becoming double that of the Dou Qi Wings.

What does this mean?

Even two Long Chens wouldn't be able to catch up to Lu Xingchen!
