Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: Treasure. Tiankui Void - Treading Technique!

On the third floor of the Library Pavilion in Linhai No.1 Middle School.

This place houses all kinds of martial arts techniques that Linhai No.1 Middle School has acquired since its establishment. Students can learn and borrow them by paying the corresponding amount of Hanxia Coins.

Not only is the price much cheaper than outside, but the variety and grade of the techniques are also quite rich.

It can be regarded as one of the important buildings in Linhai No.1 Middle School.

Among them, the first and second floors mostly display first - stage martial arts techniques, with only a small portion being second - stage ones.

Ye Li learned his [Flowing Water Fist] and [Cloud - Piercing Spear Technique] here.

As for the third floor, it records second - stage and above martial arts techniques, but it is only open to teachers and key - cultivated students.

After swiping his waist token, Ye Li walked straight to the third floor amidst the curious and envious glances of many.

Liu Yangde's hostility didn't concern him too much.

After all, with a phone call between them, it was inconvenient to do many things.

Question: What to do when there is no Malice Value?

Answer: Beat the enemy frantically until the enemy yields the corresponding Malice Value.

So, if Liu Yangde were sitting across from him, Ye Li was confident that he could resolve the conflict between them.

Putting aside his chaotic thoughts.

Ye Li stood in front of a huge electronic screen and began to browse through the various martial arts techniques recorded here 

"Second - stage martial arts technique, Mountain - Smiting Fist, 100,000 Hanxia Coins."

"Second - stage martial arts technique, Serpent - like Body Technique, 120,000 Hanxia Coins."

"D - grade Breathing Method, Scorching Breath, 200,000 Hanxia Coins."

Ye Li's general idea was to choose a suitable body - movement martial arts technique and a relatively high - level attacking martial arts technique.

However, he didn't know if the system had invisibly raised his standards.

Among the numerous options, he couldn't find a suitable martial arts technique.

The reason was simple 

It wasn't that these techniques were bad. It was just that it felt like a waste to spend Malice Value on martial arts techniques of this level.

Although low - level martial arts don't have a distinction between high and low levels, the advantages and disadvantages can still be seen from the corresponding introductions.

According to Ye Li's judgment, most of the second - stage martial arts techniques recorded here were mediocre works.

They were just abundant in quantity.

"I'll just have to randomly pick a few for now to get by." Ye Li rubbed his temples with a headache.

As for the breathing method, it was also time to put it on the agenda.

This was a technique that could only be mastered after stepping into the second stage.

Although it was called a breathing method, it could actually be called a second - stage cultivation method.

The grades, just like martial arts talent, are divided into six levels from high to low: S, A, B, C, D, and E.

Looking through the breathing methods recorded in Linhai No.1 Middle School, Ye Li found that the highest grade was only C - level, and it cost 300,000 Hanxia Coins.

And Ye Li only had at most over 100,000 Hanxia Coins on him.

He was really in a tight spot.

Alas, the Martial Arts High School just needs to put the martial arts techniques here, but for them martial arts students, there are a lot more considerations.

"Are you choosing a martial arts technique?"

As his thoughts were churning, a clear female voice rang in Ye Li's ears.

He turned his head and saw a literary - style girl wearing round - framed glasses, holding a book and standing not far away, tilting her head to look at him.

"Who are you?" Ye Li raised his eyebrows.

"Yu Qianqian." The literary girl smiled.

Then, as if sensing the doubt in Ye Li's eyes, Yu Qianqian quickly added:

"I'm also on the school team. I watched your match yesterday. You're Ye Li, with the strength of the fifth level of the first stage, right?"

"I see." Ye Li nodded politely and said:

"I'm choosing a martial arts technique. Do you need something?"

"It seems like you're not satisfied with the martial arts techniques here?" Yu Qianqian walked forward and stood side by side with him, looking at the electronic screen, and said with a smile:

"I saw that you've been frowning."

"The quality is too poor." Ye Li calmly expressed his opinion.

"Of course." Yu Qianqian smiled wryly and said:

"The precious martial arts techniques are all used by the school as various rewards. How could they be openly sold here?"

"Alright, I was being stupid." Ye Li casually waved his hand and turned to leave.

"Wait a moment."

Yu Qianqian called out to stop him. After pondering for two seconds, she asked: "Although there are no complete precious martial arts techniques here, there are some incomplete copies. Are you interested?"

"Yes." Ye Li stopped in his tracks.

"Then wait a bit. I'll check for you."

"Thanks."

Soon, Yu Qianqian swiped a name on the screen:

"Second - stage martial arts technique (precious), Tiankui Void - Treading Technique (incomplete copy), 100,000 Hanxia Coins."

"What do you think? Want to buy it and take a look?" Yu Qianqian asked tentatively.

But as soon as the words left her mouth, she regretted it.

Because 100,000 Hanxia Coins was no small amount, and Yu Qianqian was worried that Ye Li would think she was trying to cheat him.

She often messed things up while trying to be helpful.

But even so, she still couldn't get rid of her bad habit of meddling.

"Sure."

To Yu Qianqian's surprise, Ye Li just thanked her again, quickly made the payment, and completed the order.

Next, he just needed to go to the front desk to get the copied version.

"I'll go get it for you."

Rarely having her emotional value satisfied, Yu Qianqian volunteered to run towards the front desk.

But Ye Li suspected that she just wanted to steal his book, so he followed behind her.

"You have a good family background. You can buy a 100,000 - coin martial arts technique just like that." Yu Qianqian joked.

Ye Li glanced at her and said indifferently: "My parents are both dead. This 100,000 is my last savings."

[Successfully made Yu Qianqian feel intense guilt. Malice Value +200]

"If it turns out that it can't be used later, I'll have to live on grass from now on."

Hearing the system's prompt, Ye Li's eyes lit up, and he continued.

[Detected that Yu Qianqian's guilt has increased. Malice Value +100]

Upon hearing this, Yu Qianqian took a deep breath and forced a smile: "Don't worry, it will be useful. When it comes to understanding martial arts techniques, I'm the best in our grade."

Ye Li nodded slightly.

The two quickly retrieved the relevant.

Ye Li casually flipped through it and found that there were a large number of omissions in the text.

It wasn't an incomplete copy that was just missing the second half or the first half.

Rather, there were a large number of gaps in the writing, with sentences missing here and pages of explanations missing there.

No matter how you looked at it, it was completely unlearnable.

In short, it was like throwing 100,000 coins into the water without even a splash.

"I'm so sorry!" Yu Qianqian wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

She was screaming in her heart.

Why is it like this again? Why do I always mess things up while trying to help! This is really bad.

Given Ye Li's situation, I'm simply unforgivable!

Ye Li ignored her for the moment and just calmly flipped through the incomplete copy.

In his eyes, on the light blue panel that only he could see.

Words were slowly appearing.

[Tiankui Void - Treading Technique (Uninitiated)]

[Skill Points Available]

[Current Malice Value: 3000 points]

Well, finally got a bargain.
