84 Chapter 84: Is This Possible?!
Lin Xiu's abnormality quickly caught the attention of Su Xiao and Li Yan.
"Is he planning to memorize the contents inside?" Li Yan's voice trembled slightly.
Isn't this idea too far-fetched?
In the library, there were numerous Earth Rank Qi Methods and Dou Techniques. It would be fake to say one isn't tempted.
But rules are rules.
Given the strength of the two elders outside, they couldn't possibly take an extra copy.
Glancing at Lin Xiu, Su Xiao slowly nodded, "From his current behavior, it does seem a bit like what you said."
"This is simply impossible. Not to mention Earth Rank, even Black Rank Qi Methods and Dou Techniques cannot be mastered overnight. It requires continuous practice until complete mastery."
In such a short time, even if hastily memorized, one may forget upon leaving, and once memory deviates and mistakes occur, the consequences are unimaginable."
Li Yan's words elicited agreement from Su Xiao.
Having practiced Dou Techniques, they understood clearly the difficulty of learning one, especially high-level ones.
Sometimes, a slight deviation means failure to master it.
But if practiced incorrectly, it can affect one's own realm.
"No, I'll give it a try too."
Listening to their conversation, Leng Bai quickly shifted his gaze away from Lin Xiu.
Facing the constantly shooting rays of light, Leng Bai singled one out and leapt to catch it.
As the light fell into his hand, he struggled violently.
"Hiss..."
After several struggles, Leng Bai reluctantly let go, watching the light vanish behind the barrier.
He stood still, "Damn, how does Lin Xiu control so many light clusters?"
Refusing to give up, Leng Bai tried again and after some effort, finally caught one.
"I'm running out of time, I need to make the most of it."
Discovering it was a Black Rank High-Level Dou Technique, Leng Bai eagerly opened it to peruse.
A few minutes later.
He released his grip without expression.
"Did you memorize it?" Su Xiao's lips tightened slightly as he looked at him.
"Memorize what? After reading the later parts, I forgot the earlier ones. I only grasped some superficial details, not the essence. Even if I go outside, I won't be able to practice it," Leng Bai said.
Upon hearing this, Leng Bai drooped his head in disappointment and pursed his lips.
"Don't disturb him." Su Xiao grabbed Leng Bai's shoulder, stopping him from shaking Lin Xiu.
One thing is certain: success or failure, at least one should not disturb the other while they are focused.
"Let's wait together, anyway, there isn't much time left in an hour," Li Yan also spoke up.
So, Leng Bai relented and waited with the other two.
They weren't idle either; when light clusters flew out, they tried to catch them.
If caught, they would compare them with their previous acquisitions and keep the better ones.
Meanwhile.
Lin Xiu remained focused.
In front of him, besides the Qi Methods and Dou Techniques he continuously perused, a large amount of information was flashing before his eyes.
[You have successfully learned a new Ability — Black Rank High-level Qi Method: "Fire Burning Plains."]
[You have successfully learned a new Ability — Earth Rank Low-Level Qi Method: "Earth Emperor's Mantra."]
[You have successfully learned a new Ability — Earth Rank Low-Level Qi Method: "Gold and Wood Unity Mantra."]
[You have successfully learned a new Ability — Black Rank High-level Dou Technique: "Lightning Ripples."]
[You have successfully learned a new Ability — Earth Rank Low-Level Dou Technique: "Surging Waves Overwhelm Heavens."]
[You have successfully learned a new Ability — Yellow Rank Low-Level Dou Technique: "Flame Soul Separation Technique."]
"Yellow Rank Low-Level be damned! This is the Book Collection Hall!"
Lin Xiu was taken aback.
At this moment, having finished perusing several books he had taken earlier, he was ready to take a few more.
Normal practice of Qi Methods and Dou Techniques naturally requires gradual progress and diligent practice, and Lin Xiu is no exception.
However.
Lin Xiu has an advantage. As long as he can record the Dou Techniques and Qi Methods on the panel, even if he doesn't have follow-ups or even forgets them, as long as he has enough Attribute Points, he can completely master them in the end.
"This isn't just a library, it's practically his own treasure trove. If we leave now and want to come back next time, who knows when that will be. I must remember more this time."
Just as Lin Xiu was about to take action, suddenly an arm stretched out and blocked his way.
Su Xiao stopped him, "Junior, the time is almost up. Have you decided which one to take with you?"
"An hour has passed?" Lin Xiu looked up at Su Xiao, his eyes bloodshot, frighteningly red, the price of extreme eye usage.
The three of them subconsciously stared at him as they saw his appearance.
Moreover, a strange thought spontaneously emerged in their minds.
Could he really memorize the Qi Methods and Dou Techniques?
The idea was too bizarre, and none of the three dared to be sure. Besides, such matters were usually kept secret and not easy to inquire about.
First to come to his senses, Su Xiao nodded in response to Lin Xiu, acknowledging that indeed time was running out.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiu, right in front of them, let go of all the Qi Methods and Dou Techniques in his hand.
"Junior, by doing this... you'll end up with nothing," Su Xiao reached out to stop him, but he was a step too slow, feeling somewhat regretful.
"They're not what I want."
Lin Xiu didn't seem to care much, looking up at the moving clusters of light.
Since time was running out, he could only take one at random and leave.
"Not what you want? Weren't you so engrossed just now?" Leng Bai murmured, somewhat disbelieving Lin Xiu's words.
With reddened eyes, gazing at the constantly shifting lights, Lin Xiu felt a bit overwhelmed for a moment. Everything was covered in light, and he didn't know which one contained the highest level.
"Remember, everything can only be taken as it comes..."
Suddenly, Hu Gan's reminder outside flashed through Lin Xiu's mind. Although Lin Xiu had gained a lot this time, his desire wasn't particularly strong.
So, he closed his eyes, calming his restless heart, and decided to leave the last opportunity to fate.
"Can you really get good stuff like this?" Leng Bai doubted whether Lin Xiu was memorizing Qi Methods and Dou Techniques and had messed up his mind.
Su Xiao and Li Yan remained silent.
However, their expressions were similar to Leng Bai's.
Fate, this elusive thing, rather than waiting, it's better to take the initiative.
In their eyes, Lin Xiu seemed a bit like someone with little time left, resigned to his fate.
Soon, the low voice of the man in the gray robe urged them to leave.
At that moment, Lin Xiu suddenly reached out and grabbed a passing cluster of light.
"Earth Rank Mid-Level Dou Technique, 'Starlight Body Forging Technique'?" Leng Bai leaned over to take a closer look, astonished.
After spending an hour choosing, I barely managed to get a piece of Earth Rank Low-Level.
Lin Xiu casually grabs one and it's an Earth Rank Mid-Level?
Is that even possible?
"It seems like it's Junior's destiny."
Su Xiao raised an eyebrow, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes. He only obtained an Earth Rank Low-Level Qi Method himself.
In the library, the higher the item level, the rarer it is, and the greater the struggle.
Unless there is a connection between individuals, it is difficult to obtain high-level Qi Methods and Dou Techniques.
That's why, when they entered, Hu Gan specifically warned them that some people returned empty-handed before.
"Let's go."
Having obtained an Earth Rank Mid-Level Dou Technique, Lin Xiu felt content.
This trip to the library was very rewarding.
Next, upon entering the inner courtyard,
his task was to earn Attribute Points.
First, he would max out the Black Rank High-level fire attribute Qi Methods, and then merge them.
In this way, he had three Earth Rank Low-Level Qi Methods, enough to merge into one Earth Rank Mid-Level Qi Method.
The fastest way to acquire Attribute Points is to improve low-level Dou Techniques.
However, this requires a lot of experience, and the fastest way to gain experience is through fighting.
This needs some consideration.
