The Supreme God of Martial Arts
Chapter 64 Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill (Part Two)

Meanwhile, it was on the second floor where books on grades threeand four martial skills were stored.

Outer disciples and those below this level could pay contributioncredits to get books from the first floor.

Of course, if an outer disciple made some special contribution to thesect, or performed outstandingly, he had an option to exchange booksfrom the second floor.

Meanwhile, inner disciples and those above this level could likewiseexchange books on the second floor.

Taking a deep breath, Austin looked at the bookshelves in order.

There were as many as hundreds of books about martial skills on thelibrary's first floor, with each book about half-an-inch thick. It wasdifficult to choose a suitable one from a wide selection of books onsecret martial skills.

Stone-braking Punch, Angry Dragon Punch, Swordsmanship of PickingStars with Willow Leaves, Wind Luck Step...

With numerous titles on secret martial skills to choose from, Austin wasdazzled.

Swish! Swish! It was the sound of flipping pages.

In his excitement, Austin turned to the first pages of the books quickly.There was always a comprehensive introduction on the first page ofevery book

Wild Wind Knife: The knife skill was like a wind with a thunder'smomentum. It would have the upper hand depending on the speed.Those wishing to cultivate it were required to be cultivators at or abovelevel three of the Energy Gathering Realm.

Its cultivating difficulty was standard, while the martial skill was gradeone.

The Angry Dragon Punch could increase the strength of the cultivator'svital energy in his body. It could solidify vital energy instantly andsuppress the opponent with its power, which had a horrifying explosiveforce.

A cultivator must be at or above level five of the Energy GatheringRealm. It was a book with great cultivating difficulty.

Its martial skill was grade two.

Wind Luck Step was a close combat bodily maneuver to overcome amoving target with slow movement. When someone advanced to acertain realm, he could be undefeated even when fighting againstseveral cultivators of the same level.

Cultivators needed to be at or above level three of the EnergyGathering Realm, and ability of understanding was required. It was alsoone of the grade two martial skills.

Iron Sand, a cultivation method that refined the cultivators’ body bybashing it with hard substances, strengthened the body for defense. If acultivator used it with all his strength, he could resist any attack from anopponent of the same level.

If cultivating to a great extent, a cultivator could also resist attack by anordinary knife and sword with his body strength.

Anyone who wanted to practice this skill should be at, or above, levelfive of the Energy Gathering Realm. Mastering the skill was quitechallenging and required both willpower and persistence.

The martial skill was grade two.

Upon checking the requirements, Austin was dazzled. Several times hehad been interested in it but chose to just read about it because hecould only get one for free.

That was a pity.

If only he could choose more, but Austin sighed helplessly.

Glancing around, he suddenly saw a booklet covered with dust in thecorner of a bookshelf, where it stood indistinctly.

Curious, Austin walked over quickly and picked out the book. He blewthe thick dust away and saw it exposed a secret martial skill.

“Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill, * he read.

He thumbed through the pages quickly then took a deep breath.

It was a grade four martial skill!

He was suddenly confused after realizing he was on the first floor of thelibrary. How could a book about a grade four martial skill be kept here?Shouldn't it be shelved on the second floor?

Quickly, he read the introduction on the first page. He learned it was afierce and oppressive martial skill that would consume much vitalenergy.

But on the other hand, it was very powerful, and with it, the cultivatorcould even challenge an opponent of a higher level.

Still, it was baffling why a book on a grade four martial skill was on thefirst floor.

Courageously, he took the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill and went toask the old man managing the library about it.

In the registration room of the first floor, the old man in charge of thelibrary was surprised to see Austin clutching the booklet about theGrand Pagoda Summoning Skill.

"Sir, why is this book on grade four martial skill here on the first floor?Can I develop it?" a confused Austin inquired.

Essentially, martial skills in third and fourth grades were offered to innerdisciples or those above the level, for them to develop.

"Ahhh... I would advise you not to touch the book about the GrandPagoda Summoning Skill. A long time ago, it was placed on the secondfloor.

And thirteen of the inner disciples or disciples above this level hadcultivated this martial skill. But can you guess the result?

All thirteen died because of the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill," hesaid in a voice tinged with sadness.

"They all died because of the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill? Why?"A deep breath was necessary for Austin to control his astonishment.The old man explained,” Because it is difficult to cultivate the GrandPagoda Summoning Skill and it requires a powerful and accuratemental controlling ability. Otherwise, when a cultivator practices it, theenergy meridians in his entire body will break with even the slightestmistake, and may even cause the body to explode.

Eleven of the thirteen disciples who cultivated this skill controlledthemselves carelessly when they practiced, and ten of them had brokenenergy meridians, while one suffered a body explosion.

All were elites in the sect.”

The old man sighed at the memory.

Listening to the old man had frightened Austin. He realized the GrandPagoda Summoning Skill was very dangerous.

Mental power was only a spiritual sense. To be effective, it required astrong and accurate mental controlling ability, and his spiritual sensecould be equal to that of the masters of the Mysterious Realm. Thatwould be suitable for him.

"Even if you can summon the Grand Pagoda in the end, it has adisadvantage. This skill consumes so much vital energy. Regardless ofyour level, it will require 70 percent of your vital energy to call up theGrand Pagoda.

Think about it. After losing 70 percent of vital energy, if you can't killthe enemy with one blow, and with only 30 percent of energy left, you'llhave to let the enemy kill you, right?" he pointed out.

He added,” It is for this reason that two of the thirteen disciples whodeveloped the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill ended up killed, one ofthem being a personal disciple of the current Sect Leader."

"A personal disciple of the current Sect Leader?" Austin echoed.

He was startled by this revelation.

"That's right. So the Sect Leader was furious and put this grade fourmartial skill on the first floor instead of the second, to prevent thosearrogant inner disciples and elite disciples of the sect from practicingit"

Austin finally understood why the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill hadto be in the library's first floor.
