16 Advent Yang Ar (1/2)

Su Lingyan simply couldn't accept the fact that a mere 3rd level Body Refinement Realm cultivator like Ling Tian can have body strong enough to rival a Spirit Refinement Realm cultivator. If she knew that his body is powerful enough to defeat even a late stage Foundation Establishment, she would probably lose her consciousness.

Ling Tian ignored Su Lingyan's shock and turned towards Elder Sun to ask, ” Old man, can't others simply defend themselves from the gravitational force with their spirit energy?”

” kid, you're underestimating the might of gravitational force. There is a limit to how much, the spirit energy can defend against gravity. And this limit depends on the cultivation of the individual or the purity of the individual's spirit energy.” Elder Sun patiently explained to Ling Tian.

Ling Tian had a expression as if he suddenly got enlightened. He them asked ” Then which category do I belong to?”

” You don't belong to either of the categories. Although your spirit energy is extremely pure to the point its almost strange, your cultivation level is too low so your spirit energy no matter how pure, will do you no good. It's only because your body is strong that you're able to climb the stairs without much effort.” Said elder Sun.

” I see, that makes sense.” Said Ling Tian while thinking' As expected of a Saiyan's body, it is on a completely different level '

” Oh right, do I get to take martial arts from this section? ” Ling Tian asked Elder Sun as he knew that, without having any foundation in martial techniques, he won't be able to master any advanced techniques.

” Yes, you can.” Elder Sun replied with an expression as if saying ' why do you need low level battle techniques'

Ling Tian didn't notice elder Sun's face and just went into the first floor section of the library. He saw hundreds if not thousands of old tattered books kept in the shelves.

Ling Tian started looking through the manuals one by one. He then realized that, he could remember almost all the manuals he read so far. Ling Tian wondered if this was one of the benefits he got from the 'fusion' of his and his predecessor's souls.

Soon Ling Tian found the martial art manual that was perfect for him. 'Foundation Fist Art', this manual consists of 18 different fist forms. If completely mastered, one will have an astonishing foundation, when it comes to fist type martial techniques. This was exactly what an amateur like Ling Tian needed.

There was an other martial art that caught his eyes. 'Foundation Sword Arts' , this manual consists of 36 different sword forms. Unfortunately, he has no need for a sword technique as Saiyans mostly fight unarmed.

” I'm done, lets continue.” Ling Tian said as he took the 'Foundation Fist Arts' with him.

” Are you sure that's all you need? Why not take the 'Foundation Sword Arts' as well?” Elder Sun didn't criticize Ling Tian for selecting a beginner's martial art, but suggested him to pick the Sword version as well.

” No, I don't use swords. I mostly rely on my body to fight anyway.” ' I've already memorized the entire manual. Not that I think I will ever get a chance to learn it.' Thought Ling Tian as he replied to Elder Sun's suggestion.

Elder Sun didn't say anything and just watched Ling Tian. Su Lingyan was silent throughout the entire time. Ling Tian made his way to the stairway to the second floor of the library.

Ling Tian took a step onto the stairs and this time he really felt a bit heavy but it didn't bother him too much. What shocked him was that the 'Battle Tyrant Ki Scripture' was circulating much faster within him and he could feel that the pressure he felt had almost disappeared. To be exact, Ling Tian just got used to the increase in gravity.

Now that Ling Tian had gotten used to the gravity of the stairway to second floor, he saw no need for standing in the stairs. So he just hurried to the second floor.

Ling Tian asked elder Sun, whether he can select martial arts from the second floor section as well. After getting Elder Sun's affirmation, Ling Tian looked through all the martial arts manuals, but he found nothing that was suitable for him. Nonetheless, Ling Tian still memorized all the manuals.

Ling Tian then moved on to the stairway to the third floor of the library. As expected, the gravitational force acting on the stairs were at least ten times that of the stairway of second floor. Under the immense pressure, the 'Battle Tyrant Ki Scripture' started to rotate at high speed as his body was getting more stronger as he felt himself getting used to the gravity of the third floor, albeit slowly.

Ling Tian could feel that his Ki has also increased by quite a bit. After about twenty minutes, Ling Tian completely got used to the gravity on the stairs then quickly rushed to the third floor of the library.

After reaching the third floor section of the library, he looked through all the manuals and found that there were many techniques suitable for him. But nonetheless he still memorized all the manuals in the third floor of the library. There were records of Spiritual herbs , monster beasts, rare natural treasures etc., as well.

” Are you not going to take any manuals kid?” Asked elder Sun in confusion as he was unable to determine just what Ling Tian was up to.

' Nah, although there are plenty of powerful martial techniques and spirit techniques, without mastering the basics, I won't be able to learn any of those techniques.” Ling said while thinking ' why should I take the manuals itself, when I've memorized everything anyway'

” Anyway, enough of that. Lets see what the final floor is made of.” Ling Tian grinned and walked towards the stairway to the fourth floor of the library where the supposedly most powerful Cultivation techniques and martial arts manuals are kept.

Ling Tian felt an enormous force on him that brought him to his knees. He couldn't move at all, as he was barely able to keep himself from kissing the steps.

” urgh-” Ling Tian grit his teeth and endured the pain he was feeling all over his body. Su Lingyan was worried for Ling Tian but she could do nothing to help him as she herself is able to stand in the stairs because of the support from Elder Sun.

Meanwhile Elder Sun was in deep thought as he looked at Ling Tian. Elder Sun didn't help Ling Tian or stop Ling Tian. He felt that the boy in front of him will be able to reach his goal. He himself didn't know why he has such assurance of Ling Tian.

Ling Tian was so much pain, but he didn't lament it. In fact, Ling Tian was too excited at the moment, because 'Battle Tyrant Ki Scripture' was operating at an extremely pace. Ling Tian placed all his attention on circulating the Ki within his Ki channels according to Battle Tyrant Ki Scripture. His Ki reserves was increasing at an explosive rate and his was also getting more stronger.
