31 Magma Swipe (1/2)

After grabbing the book that fell from the bookshelf, Shi Li urged Moddy to grab the cultivation technique and go back to the courtyard.

...

Shi clan, Shi Li's courtyard.

Moddy placed the cultivation technique on a table as it looked at Shi Li with curiosity as to why he urged it to hurriedly go back to his courtyard.

”Well Moddy...” Shi Li took a deep breath. ”If I told you I can make techniques better, would you believe me?”

In an instant, Moddy shook its head. ”Of course not-nya, that's impossible-nya.”

Shi Li lightly smiled at he grabbed Moddy's cultivation technique and lifted it up in the air.

”Identify.”

In just seconds, a white screen popped up in front of Shi Li, showing the information about the cultivation technique.

[Reverberating Sonata Art]

[Item Type]: Cultivation Technique

[Grade]: D++

[Author]: Mao Fengyan

[Amount of Pages]: 332

This cultivation technique was created by a beast tamer that had cats specializing in sound and waves. She saw that there was a way to make their cultivation path easier, thus creating this technique. But its full version was long erased from history, limiting the grade of this cultivation technique to D++.

Once the cat cultivates this technique to the Peak of Skin Tempering, the sound it generates would travel twice the distance than what was previously possible.

”I would like to fix this technique.”

~~~~~~~~

It would cost 40% of your mental energy to fix the technique.

Current mental energy amount: 150%

Would you like to fix the technique?

~~~~~~~~

'Oh? It costs 10% less to fix a technique now? It seems it has something to do with 20% increased mental energy efficiency. Anyways, it doesn't make much of a difference.'

'Fix the technique!'

Weeeennnggg...

The book holding the technique started to glow and float up in the air, making Moddy drop its jaw from shock.

The book then spiralled around as the cover covering the book was turning into a dark red leather that had intricate carvings of felines in gold.

If one were to compare the old cover of the technique to the current one, they wouldn't even think that it's the same one. But since Moddy saw the process, it definitely knew that it was the same technique.

After half a minute, the spinning of the book stopped as it landed on Shi Li's hand. Shi Li looked at the book with an expectant expression. Back then, he fainted in an instant once he finished repairing his cultivation technique. But now, with increased mental energy, he was still able to stand strong.

'Identify.'

[Sonorous World Sonata Art]

[Item Type]: Cultivation Technique

[Grade]: C

[Author]: Mao Fengyan & Nonpareil Eye Interface

[Amount of Pages]: 255

This cultivation technique was created by a beast tamer known for her cats that specialized in the field of sound and waves. Finding out that there was a way to speed up their cultivation and their abilities' effects, she crafted this technique. Any cat that specialized in the field of sounds would create a sonata of the world, invoking multiple emotions.

Once the cat cultivates this technique to the Peak of Skin Tempering, the sound generated by the cat's ability would travel three times the distance than what was normally possible.

Flaws: 311

”Hahahaha!” All of a sudden, Shi Li laughed out loud as his laugh resounded throughout the library. It surprised Moddy a bit, but since it thought that Shi Li was laughing, it meant that something good happened.

”Shi Li-nya, what happened-nya? What did you do-nya?” Moddy saw the process with its own beady eyes, but it still wanted to know the answer from Shi Li himself.

Shi Li coughed a bit before responding.

”I repaired the technique.”

”Nya?” Moddy didn't really understand.

Shi Li saw the look of confusion on Moddy's face and gave the newly repaired technique to Moddy. ”Take a look for yourself.”

Moddy received the technique with both paws and started to read it from the first page to its last. At the start, Moddy was skeptical of what Shi Li meant by repair, but as it continued to read, its eyes glistened, looking at Shi Li with awe.

”Nya! This is an even better technique than what I was going to cultivate-nya!” Moddy said ecstatically. ”Thank you, Shi Li-nya!”

Shi Li chuckled. ”It's not a problem, since we're friends, I'll give you the best, of course. Well, remove your current cultivation and start cultivating from the beginning, you'll see greater effects once you get back to the Peak of Skin Tempering.”

Shi Li then held the book he picked up and raised it up. ”I'm gonna go fix this technique as well hehe.” He then walked to another room in his house as he didn't want to disturb Moddy from cultivating.

...

Once he found a room in his house that was slightly far from Moddy, he sat cross-legged and placed the martial technique on the floor.

'Identify.'
