Chapter 33: THE FORBIDDEN TRAINING ZONE

“All of you will now be proceeding towards the library. You need to choose one skill after reading upon the description of them, and it will be imparted to you.”

The elder came out and then signalled them to follow him. Soon they came into the vast library of the Royal clan. Long Tao was impressed by the collection of skill manuals here.

But he knew that these techniques were not on par with what he had at crimson lord world. After all, it could compare to the vastness or the level of sophistication of the techniques present in the Crimson lord vault.

........................

In the crimson lord world-

The keeper asked as to why he wanted to do this because he already has the crimson lord vault. But Long Tao insisted.

An avatar of him was always immersed in the research, understanding, and practice of various skills. It was a primary reason why no one in the gathering could relate the seven figures as one because the skills used by each one of them was so different.

.....

Long Tao didn’t even display the skill he had created on his own. He was sure that if he had used that skill against Long Mengchen, she would still lose in one move.

But that was all. It was the only move that he managed to create even after so much time.

“I need a large number of skills to continue my research. Creation of a new art requires insights into the domain. I am researching the flow of various techniques.”

“I need to identify the main components of art and isolate them. They can be fused to form my desired art.”

The more techniques he learned, the more insights he gained for the ‘Dominator’s fist’. The skill began to evolve into a more potent form as the research continued.

Hence, he wanted to collect and learn as many techniques as he could. He aimed to become superior to everything in the world.

The keeper finally agreed to this idea.

“I will help you copy the skills into your inventory.”

...................................................

The Qi concentration in the library was different than the outer world.

“You must be the 8 top rankers of the gathering.” An older man appeared. He was like a harmless elderly, who was in charge of taking care of the books.

” A mid-Qi general realm practitioner.” Long Heard a voice in his head.

The elderly turned his head towards Long Tao suddenly and after looking for some time, turned back. Long Tao’s back was drenched in sweat. The real power of the royal clan was quite vast.

They had a time of half-a-day to choose from the various martial arts. No rules were spoken, but the meaning was definite. Only one technique could be taken back.

..................................................

Long Tao proceeded in his way, to find Long Mengchen following him. He stopped, turned around, and was going to say something, when suddenly Long Mengchen hugged him, tears flowing from her eyes.

Long Tao felt a string in his heartbreaking. Seeing Mengchen crying was a very taxing and painful scenario for him, but he remembered his objective clearly.

He was not going to show his familial feeling for now. He had to cut ties with them.

The disgust he felt for the clan was real. He separated himself from the girl.

“May I know why miss has approached me?”.

Long Mengchen continued crying and said” Why are you like this brother, please return with me. Our family needs you. Mother is crying the whole day. She was delighted when she learned about you being alive, but the following fact shocked her. Father needs you. I need you.”.

..........................................................

Long Tao’s heart was filled with sorrow, but he didn’t give up.

” Miss I already said that I don’t have any family or belong to any group. Also, I am not interested in talking with someone weaker than me.”.

Long Tao was turning around when a cold voice sounded” If power is everything to you, will you return with me if I defeat you?”.

Long Tao laughed ” We can talk about that when you can beat me. If it is your bloodline power that is giving you this confidence, drop it. I’m not particularly eager to fight someone, whose bloodline has not even awoken properly yet. You can come to contend me with your bloodline power once it fully awakens. Until then fuck off”.

Long Tao left after saying these words. Long Mengchen wiped the tears on her face, her attitude much colder than before:

” Then I will awaken my bloodline power and become, strong enough to beat the hell out of you and drag you back to the clan.”

....................................................

Long Tao was able to take quite a lot of art into his pocket. Long Tao’s main character chose “Rotary dissipation”, a technique which could divert the power of the enemy attack.

Due to some reason, he felt that this was an incredible technique. Di Tao chose spear art. Long Tao had already gathered around 200 techniques.

It was a massive gain for Long Tao’s research and addition to his power as well as resources on which he will build his future force. The guardian was eyeing the movements of Long Tao most of the time.

Soon all the eight came out, holding their choice. The guardian verified and started recording the arts that have been taken out. When it was the turn of Long Tao, and he saw the decision, a light of interest passed through the eyes of the guardian.

He looked at Long Tao for some time again and then handed it back to him. Soon the 8-silhouette disappeared.

.................................................

Another old guy appeared beside the guardian.

“What are your thoughts.”.

The guardian broke into a smile and said:” There was one guy who piqued my interest.”

“Who was that?”.

“I don’t remember his name, but incidentally, he chose the art on the third shelf.” The expression of the other guy changed. If it was that art, then this guy sure is entertaining.

.....................................................

The top three were staying behind to avail the rest of their prizes. Soon the weapons from the blacksmith association arrived.

Di Tao stepped forward first. The king gave him a Long, heavy box. Upon opening, Di Tao found a fiery looking spear. He bowed in gratitude and returned to his position.

Next, it was Long Mengchen who stepped out, and was presented with a relatively thinner but long box. Opening it a sword came into view.

It was a beautifully designed, thin two-edged long blade, which suited Long Mengchen’s sword play style very well. She too expressed her thanks and returned to her position.

Lastly, there were a set of three boxes of different sizes, and Long Tao stepped out. The first two boxes contained a collection of swords and sabre, and the last one had a halberd.

...........................................................

” It is time for you all to proceed to the forbidden grounds of the Jiao clan. Please follow me.”.

The three rankers stepped on the transfer array. The view in front changed. They were standing amid an ancient area.

The Qi concentration was something Long Tao had only felt in the Crimson lord world’s training caves. It was where the Qi general realm cultivators of the royal clan came for training.

All three dispersed and found a location to start their training.
