Chapter 122 - Sky-Burning Sword Technique
Chapter 122: Sky-Burning Sword Technique
The female voice belonged to a girl with an oriole bird’s head. Her eyes were very lively.
She had been reading in the library for a long time. She was curious after seeing Vincent looking around for something.
Vincent’s name had spread throughout the entire school in less than a day.
Vincent felt a little embarrassed after hearing the oriole bird head girl’s question. He must have disturbed her when he was going back and forth between the bookshelves whilst flipping through the books.
“I’m looking for a fire elemental battle technique or a battle technique that can produce a fire effect.”
The girl was stunned. Her gaze was focused on Vincent.
He was clearly a tiger-headed man, why would he look for a fire elemental battle technique? It was strange.
However, she did not say much. After all, everyone had their own thinking. It was also not appropriate to disturb them when it came to training.
“There are indeed fire elemental battle techniques, but we beasts are naturally fearful of fire. When we fight against the other worlds, it rarely works, so no one really cares about it.”
The girl thought about it and said to Vincent with a worried face, “I advise you not to choose fire elemental battle techniques. If you are not careful, you will hurt yourself. Fire elemental battle techniques are too violent.”
Vincent looked at the girl and nodded slightly. He smiled and said, “I don’t want to cultivate it. I just want to understand it so that I won’t be unprepared in the future.”
“Of course, if you can cultivate, an unexpected move might have a miraculous effect. After all, everyone in the world knows that we beasts are naturally afraid of fire.”
The girl was stunned again when she heard Vincent’s explanation. Her eyes lit up.
This was the first time she had heard of such a theory. Although she always felt like it was very dangerous, it still made sense after careful consideration.
She raised her hand and pointed at the last row of the bookshelves.
“The last row, at the bottom, the third box on the left. I saw the fire elemental battle techniques there,” said the girl.
“But Vincent, I still suggest that you don’t cultivate rashly. Otherwise, if anything happens, it won’t be of any benefit to you.”
Vincent smiled and nodded. To be able to persuade her on their first meeting was proof that she was a good person.
It was just that Vincent had his own thoughts and decisions. It was not easy to change them.
When the two of them separated, Vincent learned the girl’s name. Her name was Serena. It was a very nice name.
Vincent followed Serena’s instructions and searched the last row. He found the third box at the bottom of the bookshelves.
The books were covered in a thick layer of dust. He could not see the words on the books clearly.
Vincent blew lightly. A cloud of dust covered his head and choked him until he coughed.
He used his left hand to fan away the dust in front of him. Vincent could only read the books after the dust had completely dispersed.
Fiery Fist, Ice and Fire Palm, Sky-Burning Sword technique…
There were more than ten of them, but their levels were not high. The highest level was only F-Class.
It was obvious how much the Beast Race disliked fire elemental battle techniques based on the books available. The school’s library only had F-Class battle techniques.
Vincent picked up the Fiery Fit battle technique and opened it. The moment he saw the title page, he revealed a pained expression.
Fire elemental battle techniques were extremely risky. There was a total of 63 people who practiced this battle technique. However, they were all burned to death by the flames.
Vincent rubbed the space between his brows. He was in pain. He did not even have to take into consideration how powerful the battle technique was. Just the fact that these 63 people have died after coming into contact with the burning flames was enough to make him stop for a moment.
No wonder Serena had advised him not to practice fire elemental battle techniques. It turned out that the beasts’ endurance towards fire was extremely poor.
Even so, Vincent continued reading. After all, the death statistics did not pose any threat to him.
He was not an actual beast.
After flipping through the title page, he saw a list of names. It was a record of the people who had died from practicing Fiery Fist and the specific reasons for their deaths.
“Number one, Hawkins. He had been practicing Fiery Fist for three days. He had attempted to speed up his training under the sun, but he was ignited by the fire of the sun and burned to death.”
“Number two, Rogers. He had been practicing Fiery Fist for two days. Due to a deviation in his aura, he had destroyed the body’s thermostatic system and was burned to death by the fire during his training.”
“Number three…,”
Vincent read them one by one. When he read about the last person on the list, his eyes widened in surprise.
It turned out that all the beasts who were training had all died in completely different ways. This was the first time he had seen such a thing. It was too amazing.
Although he was interested in Fiery Fist. He decided to give it up after looking at the miserable state of the 63 of them who had died.
It was too exciting. Even if he was a human, Vincent did not want to take such a risk. There was really no need.
Vincent picked up the next book. It was about the Ice and Fire Palm technique. Vincent opened the book and started reading it. The number of deaths on the title page shocked him even more.
There was a total of 128 deaths. They all believed that ice and fire countered one another and that the energy was easier to grasp before cultivating.
In actual training, hesitation is required in order to master two types of energy at the same time. In addition to that, one also had to maintain the subtle balance of two types of energy at all times. The slightest carelessness would result in death.
The 128 of them died in all sorts of strange ways. Some were frozen to death, some were burned to death, and some believed that it would only be enough by practicing fire elements in extreme cold.
There were more tricks than the Fiery Fist, and the ways that they died were even more peculiar.
Vincent flipped through all the books. The books all had at least dozens of names on the death list. Some even had hundreds of names.
After going through the selections over and over again, Vincent finally chose the Sky-Burning Sword technique.
Although it was only E-Class, it was the most suitable one for Vincent.
Vincent used his Purgatory Blade to attack. Although it was a blade-type weapon, it would be easy for him to learn a hundred moves in one go. It would not be too difficult for Vincent to learn a sword technique.
In addition, since he had changed his appearance and battle style, he naturally had to change his equipment as well. Moreover, the battle technique required the use of a heavy sword, which was suitable for Vincent’s current tiger image.
Most importantly, he only needed the fire elemental battle technique to disguise his World-Cleansing Fire. It did not matter how strong he was, as long as he could successfully practice it as soon as possible.
The Sky-Burning Sword technique was perfect for Vincent after considering all the factors.
After completing the registration at the reception, Vincent walked to a table and began to copy. At the same time, he simulated the training according to the instructions on the battle technique in his mind.
In Beast World, every schools’ archives were the same. The archives could not be brought outside. They could only be copied or read in the archives.
Vincent decided to make a copy to bring it along with him. As he had his Mimicry combat skill, Vincent could learn any skill or technique in an instant. However, to be able to learn a battle technique just by looking at it was simply too shocking.
Moreover, it was a fire elemental battle technique. It was simply impossible for no one to be suspicious of it.
In that case, the best choice was to make a copy first and perform it two to three days later.
Vincent completed the copy two hours later. He handed over the original and left with the copy.
He did not know that the teacher in the hall of ancient records was actually looking at him. The teacher shook his head regretfully and wrote on the death list.
The 87th cultivator, Vincent…
