Chapter 935 - 352: Three Ancient Techniques, The Celestial Punishment Association That Ceased Suicide!_3
Fortunately, Da Lei did not limit him in terms of quantity or time for selection.
Fang Qingyu calmed his mind and began to flip through the bookshelf labeled with fist techniques, book by book.
Most of these ancient texts had peculiar materials, neither paper nor silk, feeling warm or cool to the touch.
The cover or first page of each contained a concise yet direct-to-the-core introduction.
They explained the traits, power, and learning thresholds of the Martial Technique.
The greatest difference between Ancient Techniques and modern Federation Martial Techniques lies in the pure and real levels.
If the introduction says Great Sun Level, then it truly possesses genuine Great Sun Level power, with no falsehoods.
Unlike those so-called Great Sun Level ones in the Federation Armory.
In the eyes of someone like Jiang Wei, who truly witnessed ancient grandeur, many of them are not worthy of their names, only considered pseudo-Great Sun.
This is the fundamental reason Fang Qingyu came here specially.
He seeks a true Great Sun Level Martial Technique.
Time quietly passed by with the rustling of pages.
Fang Qingyu read very quickly yet very meticulously.
He soon browsed through more than half of the dozens of ancient texts on the Fist Technique bookshelf.
Among them were ultimate learning techniques with astonishing power and domineering attributes.
Like the Heaven-splitting Howling King Fist, which simulates the fierce combat intent of an ancient fierce beast.
Each of them could be considered a treasure.
Sufficient to stir up a bloody storm in the outside world.
Yet Fang Qingyu’s brows slightly furrowed.
These Ancient Techniques are strong indeed, but they don’t align well with the Star Shattering Constellation True Meaning he seeks.
Only two barely catch his eye.
One condenses the force of celestial aura to harm foes, known as Seven Kills Breaking Army Gang.
The other, powerful and majestic Fist Intent, simulates the motion of stars and universe, known as Celestial Suppressing Mountain Fist.
Fang Qingyu picked up the dark green Jade Scroll recording Celestial Suppressing Mountain Fist, then slowly put it down.
His gaze shifted to the last few books on the shelf which appeared especially ancient.
The covers were even a bit damaged.
Let’s take a look at these last few.
If not, should just go for Celestial Suppressing Mountain Fist.
Hope, perhaps, lies within these dust-covered ancient volumes.
His fingertips brushed over the rough cover and picked up the first one.
Material neither metal nor jade, feeling cool and heavy in hand, with twisted letters resembling star tracks engraved on the cover.
Fang Qingyu opened it, and the introduction on the front page came into view:
"Heavenly Patrol Star Track: This fist technique does not rely on the power of star fragments but steals the law of star river operation! Fist Intent takes seven magnificent established trajectories of ancient stars in vast voids, initial Fist Force like meteors crossing the sky, swift and unmatched, as the fist’s momentum progresses, evolves into various uses such as pulling, tearing, imprisoning, and throwing, containing mysterious power that twists destiny’s tracks. Each strike conforms to the profundity of celestial mechanics, trajectory unpredictable, as if destiny itself were throwing punches."
Fang Qingyu’s brows immediately tightened.
Virtually no need to hesitate.
He picked up this Martial Technique.
Though this Martial Technique will ultimately need integration, stronger is certainly better.
This Martial Technique clearly differs from those previously seen.
Apart from containing Starry Sky True Intent.
It also involves other enigmatic elements, which pleases Fang Qingyu greatly.
So, Fang Qingyu directly shifted his gaze to the Saber Technique bookshelf.
The Saber Technique bookshelf had fewer texts than Fist Techniques, but each exuded sharpness.
Fang Qingyu rapidly flipped through them.
Great Sun Burning Sky Saber Technique was scorching and domineering, Nine Nether Soul-breaking Slash was sinister and strange, Heaven-splitting Blade Gang was sharp and unmatched...
They were all good, yet felt slightly lacking.
Until a thick book, entirely black as if polished from a whole block of obsidian, fell into his hands.
"Eternal Night Star-obliterating Blade: Blade like eternal night descending, devouring all light, heat, and vitality. Sword Intent deep like the dark side of the universe, obliterating stars, burying civilizations. Blade emerges like no light, everything silent, leaving only eternal deathly silence. Those without comprehension of the void’s annihilation profundity, do not view!"
This Saber Technique...
The power is so terrifying!?
Fang Qingyu looked at the introduction with a slightly dazed expression.
It’s known as an Ancient Technique.
Won’t exaggerate like modern Martial Techniques.
Fang Qingyu thought for a moment, finally deciding to bring this book.
As for the void’s annihilation profundity.
It doesn’t matter.
In front of maps, even without understanding.
As long as points can be added, understanding will come eventually.
Lastly, the Body Technique.
Even fewer texts on the bookshelf.
Fang Qingyu’s gaze quickly swept across.
Ultimately, a booklet formed from countless fine silver shards linked together attracted him.
"Star Stream Escape Shadow: Body transformed into cosmic star stream, follow star tracks, escape seamlessly. Move like rushing star river, still like suspended stars. No trace to find, no gap to seize. Must guide the Power of the Stars as a lead, comprehend star track profundity."
The introduction’s words made Fang Qingyu’s heart race.
Guide the Power of the Stars, follow star tracks.
This is precisely what he’s seeking, the Body Technique perfectly aligning with Starry Sky True Intent.
Without a hint of hesitation, Fang Qingyu picked up the booklet formed of flowing starlight shards.
Together with the previously-selected Heavenly Patrol Star Track and Eternal Night Star-obliterating Blade, he turned towards the door.
Two hours of selection concluded.
The robe-clad elder remained leaned against the door like a stone sculpture, head lowered, as if he had never moved.
Fang Qingyu reached him.
He calmly spoke: "Excuse me, I’ve made my selection."
The elder’s eyelids slowly lifted a slit, his cloudy eyes swept over the three ancient volumes in Fang Qingyu’s hands.
When his gaze touched Heaven-splitting Blade Gang and Eternal Night Star-obliterating Blade.
A trace of surprise seemed to cross the depths of his cloudy eyes.
However, he said nothing, merely extended a withered hand.
Fang Qingyu handed over the three ancient volumes.
The elder received them but did not open them, just weighed them lightly.
