"That's right, Azure Dragon Dominance, from now on it will be my ultimate skill." Ye Tian shook the martial arts booklet in his hand, looking quite pleased.
"So what should I choose?" Duan Liu began to hesitate again, as he found everything appealing and wanted them all.
"Of course, you should choose a book on Skyward Martial Arts. You already have the Golden Cloud Illusion Armor for defense and Void Fire for offense; you just lack speed," Ye Tian analyzed.
"Sigh..." Duan Liu sighed and said, "But I want to learn your Yuqi Tayan Jue."
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian rolled his eyes at him and replied irritably, "Haven't I taught you? The main issue is that you can't learn that kind of qi manipulation."
Duan Liu thought for a moment and said, "That's true. I'll pick something suitable for me instead."
After that, Ye Tian accompanied Duan Liu to wander around the third floor of the Hidden Martial Pavilion, and finally, he chose a satisfactory book on Skyward Martial Arts, specifically the Earth-level technique “Sandstorm Roll.”
Around noon, everyone had selected their martial arts.
This time, Yun'er also picked a book, which was a Profound Level first-grade technique called “Radiant Battle Body.” This technique could be both offensive and defensive, and according to Yun'er, the main point was that it looked very impressive when executed...
Everyone was speechless, thinking to themselves that her criteria for choosing martial arts were quite unique.
In reality, Ye Tian knew that after activating the Nine Nether Ice Phoenix Power, Yun'er was nearly invincible in both offense and defense at their level. Therefore, she had no particular requirements for martial arts. It seemed that if one day she elevated the Nine Nether Ice Phoenix Power to another level, her master would surely grant her even more powerful Blood Sect Secret Techniques as support.
"Why did you choose a book on Skyward Martial Arts?" Cold Moon asked curiously towards Duan Liu.
"What's wrong?" Duan Liu replied eagerly as he began flipping through the pages of the Sandstorm Roll.
"I think after finally selecting a Profound-Grade Martial Arts, it should be either an offensive or defensive one," Cold Moon said, looking at Duan Liu as if he were foolish. "Both are martial arts, but the Contribution Points required to exchange for Profound Level offensive martial arts can only get you a local-level Skyward Martial Arts. Don't you think you're at a loss?"
Upon hearing this, Duan Liu rolled his eyes and then looked at Ye Tian, hoping he could provide a reasonable explanation.
"Don't look at me; it was your decision," Ye Tian replied, unwilling to explain further. This guy was just a bit foolish.
Although the Contribution Points required for Profound Level offensive or defensive martial arts are similar to those for local-level Skyward Martial Arts, their actual effects are quite different. A good Skyward Martial Arts is often more important than a powerful offense.
This point has been validated many times with Yuqi Tayan Jue; in other words, in the world of martial arts, speed is paramount!
As long as one masters enough speed, they can be invincible in the world.
"Haha, look at your silly face! I was just joking; why did you take it seriously?" Cold Moon ruthlessly mocked Duan Liu, who then realized that Ye Tian could not possibly be playing him.
"Sister Ningyue, what martial arts did you choose?" Ye Tian asked curiously.
"I chose a defensive martial art."
"…"
The three were momentarily stunned. Last time, Cold Moon had already chosen a defensive martial art and hadn't even mastered it yet. Why was she choosing another one? While having many skills is not a burden, it shouldn't be such a waste of Contribution Points.
"Look at your expressions! I chose the Cloud Shadow Disappearance; it's just an advanced version based on the local-level one. You could say it's similar to the relationship between Bagua Seal and Bagua Thunder Seal, just focused on defense," Cold Moon explained.
After hearing her explanation, the three finally understood; otherwise, they would have thought Cold Moon was extravagantly wealthy.
Having chosen their respective martial arts, the group didn't want to go out on missions again for a while and felt it was necessary to rest. They had hardly taken any breaks over the past two or three months and had been constantly on the move. Moreover, the missions they undertook were quite challenging and exhausting.
"Then let's meet again in half a month and see whose martial arts are stronger." Cold Moon felt a bit anxious; after all, this martial art she favored was like a gift from a lover, and she wanted to appreciate it at the first opportunity.
"Alright, half a month it is." The three of them agreed and were about to leave.
"Ningyue."
At that moment, a figure approached from not far away, exuding a captivating charm, reminiscent of the legendary noble aura.
"Thunderstorm?" Ye Tian turned to look, and sure enough, a figure was walking towards them from the east side of the Hidden Martial Pavilion. The person was dressed luxuriously, with a majestic presence; it was clear they were someone extraordinary—who else could it be but Thunderstorm?
Since Ye Tian's arrival, this fellow had rarely appeared when Cold Moon and Ye Tian were together, giving the impression that he was avoiding them out of pride.
However, with Ye Tian's rapid rise, this situation began to improve. Yet, due to the matters concerning the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters, if he were to encounter Ye Tian alone, they would still feel like strangers.
"Ningyue, congratulations on becoming one of the fastest to exchange for Profound-Grade Martial Arts." Thunderstorm beamed brightly, his smile dazzling.
Nearby, several female disciples from Cloud Sea Sect passed by. Upon seeing Thunderstorm, they covered their mouths and whispered among themselves, their faces showing signs of infatuation.
At the same time, they noticed Cold Moon, and their expressions shifted to envy and jealousy. After all, Cold Moon's beauty was such that it made them feel inferior.
Finally, their gaze landed on Ye Tian and Yun'er, their eyes revealing longing.
It was no surprise; today four disciples from Cloud Sea Sect successfully met the conditions to exchange for Profound-Grade Martial Arts. Among them was a couple—Ye Tian and Yun'er—who were young and talented, making everyone envious to the point of despair.
The group of female disciples lingered for quite a while discussing before finally leaving, but throughout it all, they hardly paid any attention to Duan Liu.
"Damn it, looking down on people just because they look a bit shabby," Duan Liu muttered as he rolled his eyes.
Hearing this, Thunderstorm glanced at him and instinctively shifted his Footsteps.
This action was noticed by Ye Tian, who felt an inexplicable displeasure in his heart.
"Did you come just to congratulate me?" Cold Moon also noticed this and looked down on Duan Liu. Others could have such thoughts, but as her partner, Thunderstorm should not think this way.
For a long time, during the initial gatherings, Cold Moon would always invite Thunderstorm, but he consistently declined, claiming he couldn't come.
At first, Cold Moon thought of him and defended him, saying it was difficult to get too close due to the Cloud Pavilion dispute. As time went on, she increasingly realized that Thunderstorm simply looked down on her friends.
It wasn't until Ye Tian's rapid rise that Thunderstorm's attitude changed somewhat. However, for some reason, he still seemed intent on overshadowing Ye Tian, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Thus, the connection between Cold Moon and Thunderstorm grew less frequent, and their relationship gradually cooled. By the time he appeared today, it seemed like several months had passed since they last met.
"Of course, you're so outstanding; I must celebrate you properly," Thunderstorm continued to smile as if he felt nothing amiss.
"Thunderstorm brother, Sister Ningyue, you two chat; we’ll be leaving now," Ye Tian stepped forward to greet Thunderstorm. Although he didn't like Thunderstorm, after all, he was Cold Moon's partner, so it was still polite to say something.
"Yes, let's gather when we have the chance," Thunderstorm replied politely but didn't even glance at Yun'er or Duan Liu aside from Ye Tian.
Naturally, the other two had no intention of greeting him either.
Afterward, Yun'er and Duan Liu also said goodbye to Cold Moon before leaving with Ye Tian.
Once they were gone, Thunderstorm smiled and said, "Ningyue, you are now a prominent figure among the new generation of Cloud Sea Sect. In the future, be careful about making friends; don’t lower your status."
Upon hearing this, Cold Moon's expression darkened instantly. Thunderstorm's meaning was clear; he was subtly belittling Duan Liu.
"I am not the future successor of Cloud Pavilion, I don't have such a high status or arrogance," Cold Moon replied coldly.
"What are you talking about? Even if it is Cloud-Drifting Pavilion, the position of Lord is not for me; there are still Ziming and Zixuan," Thunderstorm continued to smile, though there was a hint of stiffness and harshness in his expression, suggesting that his words were not entirely sincere.
Cold Moon sensed something and vaguely felt that Thunderstorm might have some significant plans in the future.
After all, Thunderstorm was her partner. Although their relationship had grown increasingly cold, she still held a fondness for him deep down. So she spoke up, "Thunderstorm, the position of Lord is not that important. I hope you won't put yourself in danger."
"Hahaha!" Thunderstorm laughed heartily, his laughter wild and unrestrained. After a while, he said, "Don't worry, I really have no ulterior motives. Being a Master of the Pavilion is indeed not very appealing to me."
In truth, Thunderstorm was not lying; in his heart, the supreme position of Master of Yunhai Sect was his ultimate goal!
"Ningyue, tonight we will hold a banquet at Cloud-Drifting Pavilion. Those who can attend are all significant figures. I hope you can come as my lover."
"Hehe, I'm afraid I won't be able to make a good impression; I don't want to embarrass you," Cold Moon said coldly. Previously, Thunderstorm had never invited her to such gatherings. Although she did not voice it, she felt somewhat awkward about it.
It wasn't about seeking attention; it was that Thunderstorm still believed deep down that she came from a small place like Spirit Martial Town. Even though she had become a holder of Cloud Token, she could not compare with a true Chief Disciple. To put it simply, she still felt somewhat unqualified.
"Are you angry?" Thunderstorm wrapped his arm around Cold Moon's shoulders and said gently, "I will give you a surprise today. The Master of Cloud Pavilion, Qin Fufeng, will also be there. At that time, I will tell you something important in front of him and my master."
"Could it be a proposal..." Cold Moon's heart stirred. She had imagined that scene for a long time. Despite their relationship becoming somewhat distant now, she couldn't help but feel a wave of happiness upon hearing those words.
