Lightning Shadow Steps part 2
743 Words
Jaden first thought that this was just an ordinary footwork skill, but after he saw “as fast as lightning”, and “with added Profound Qi”, his eyes twinkled.
“Lightning Fast” exceeded the limits of Black rank martial arts, even some Sky ranked ones cannot do that!
“In addition, Profound Qi” meant that this skill was suited for martial artists above or at the Profound Core Realm.
And the most incredible part was: Achieving the highest realm will allow the person to have the fastest speed of all under the Earth Immortal Realm.
“What an exaggeration! Even some peak rank martial arts won’t have the courage to say this.”
Jaden’s eyes shone and without hesitation, he started reading the contents of Lightning Shadow Steps.
He had a question in his heart though, why would such a strong skill be put at the bottom floor? And why would no one learn it?
Soon, Jaden found the reason.
After flipping to ¼ of the book, the words started to blur out. The main reason was that the book was too old, and the book started to mould.
That meant that this book only had ¼ of its original contents.
“So unfortunate…..”
Jaden was severely disappointed.
However, he did not give up and ordered Vex. " Vex, scan this book and show me the content of the book."
[ Beep! Yes Sir]
Vex scanned the book and in just a few seconds the knowledge of the content in the book transferred to his brain. A Virtual book formed in his mind. After reading 1-2 pages, Jaden stopped.
“If I take this book back just for show. After leaving the library, I can slowly read all of it’s later contents.”
Jaden thought up to here, and then took Lightning Shadow Steps out of the 2nd floor of the martial arts library.
“Lightning Shadow Steps? Do you want this book?”
The white-robed elder asked with scrunched eyebrows.
“Yes.”
Jaden politely said.
“This book has been around for a thousand years and there are parts in it which exceed high rank martial arts by far.” After talking up to here, the white-robed elder’s voice turned: “However, only ¼ of this book can be seen. An important note: to fully train this in skill is super hard, even some geniuses cannot do it. Even if they do it….. Under the Profound Core Realm, the potential is restricted.
At last, the white-robed elder warned: “I’d advise you to change a book, or else you will never break through to the Profound Core Realm.”
“Thank you elder for your warning, but my heart is decided.”
Jaden had a calm look on his face.
Looking at the Jaden leaves, the white-robed elder shook his head and said, “These youths nowadays all take the highest ranked book possible.”
He believed that Jaden would not be able to fully learn Lightning Shadow Steps, and taking a step back, even if he could, what could a partially martial art book do?
Leaving the martial arts library, Jaden returned to his room.
Sitting on his bed, he closed his eyes, and inside of his mind the contents of around 100 martial art books quickly surfaced.
Having such a big supply of martial arts gave Jaden endless excitement. He couldn’t hold in his happiness and laughed with his head raised. Quite a period of time passed until he calmed down.
Jaden “took” a hundred books out from the martial arts library; most of them were high class and all of them had at least a past person train it so he could use their experience.
However, to choose a few martial art skills from these books wasn’t easy.
It was good that all of these books were fully imprinted in his mind, because he only needed one thought to compare them against one another and choose the one most suitable for him.
A single martial art could increase his strength; with the combination of many martial arts, it could increase his cultivation.
Jaden only used half an hour to choose 4 skills from the hundred books. They were:
Lightning Shadow Steps, Sky Devouring Palm, Invisibility Cloak Technique and Nirvanic Eyes Technique.
