18: Martial Arts from Douluo ContinentComing to a bookshelf, Qi Tian picked up the ladder beside him and climbed to the top shelf.
The teachers in the library were surprised to see Qi Tian coming. But it was hard to say whether a child of this age could recognize all the characters, let alone understand the contents of the book.
Therefore, the teachers all thought that Qi Tian simply changed his playing place to the library and did not pay too much attention to him.
Qi Tian's subsequent actions of flipping through books further confirmed the teachers' speculation.
But the reality was that the books Qi Tian read were not what he wanted to know.
In his previous life, he had read novels, and the theories of soul masters he had learned about even surpassed those of most scholars on the continent in some areas. What he wanted to read was naturally what he didn't know.
After an unknown amount of time, he concluded that all the books placed in prominent locations and on bookshelves that were frequently taken care of were books he did not need.
According to the rules he had summarized, he found a bookshelf in the corner of the library.
There were only a few books scattered on the bookshelf, but no one had ever cleaned the place, so both the shelves and the books were covered in dust.
"More children, more blessings?" Qi Tian looked embarrassed when he saw the title of one of the books.
Needless to say, the ladies in the book are definitely not suitable for children.
After looking around, his eyes were attracted by one of the books.
This book has no title, and the pages are yellowed, showing a strong sense of age. The book is in a rather bad condition, with obvious signs of human damage on the outside.
After opening it, there were some handwritten words inside, not a rubbing version.
"This should be one of the few original books here. No, it should be notes." Qi Tian picked up the book, sat at the table beside him, and started flipping through it.
In the book, the handwriting was not sloppy at the beginning, but the content recorded was fantastic.
The most important point is that soul masters are bound by soul rings.
Without spirit rings, spirit masters will not be able to advance. This is a recognized fact throughout the history of Douluo Continent.
"There are actually people who oppose the existing soul master system." Qi Tian immediately became very interested.
In his eyes, the spirit masters of Douluo Continent were the laziest group of people in all the fantasy novels he had read. In other novels, besides cultivating their level, the most important thing for cultivators was to cultivate their martial arts. Some advanced and unique skills were not something that many cultivators could master even after practicing for hundreds of years.
On the Douluo Continent, as long as you hunt soul beasts and absorb soul rings, you can directly obtain soul skills, completely eliminating the process of practicing martial arts. If soul beasts become extinct one day in the future, what will soul masters do?
As he continued to turn the pages, Qi Tian agreed more and more with the views in the book. But for some reason, the handwriting became more and more sloppy as he turned the pages, and he could no longer distinguish many words.
With a long sigh, Qi Tian quickly flipped the pages back, trying to find words he could understand.
"If you agree with my point of view, you can choose to learn the tricks I left behind.
Oh, it's obviously not a soul skill, but those ignorant guys insisted on calling it a self-created soul skill. Forget it, let them be."
After reading the words he understood, Qi Tian quickly turned the page.
There are more than a dozen pictures on the last page, each of which represents an action, and there are text notes next to it.
"Martial arts, is this martial arts?" Qi Tian widened his eyes, somewhat incredulous.
The illustrations and text above were somewhat similar to some martial arts secrets he had read on Blue Star in his previous life.
However, it's not that I can't learn those secrets. It's just that my physical fitness is not good enough, and I have no one to guide me, so I am often mistaken for a liar.
Douluo Continent is a world with soul power. Perhaps, the martial arts recorded in this book can really be realized.
"Little guy, which class are you from? The opening ceremony has already started, why are you still here?"
Hearing the voice, Qi Tian came back to his senses, "Ah~ Teacher, I'll go right away."
…
There was nothing special about the opening ceremony, it was basically the same as Qi Tian remembered.
However, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang did not return to the academy.
After the opening ceremony, Qi Tian returned to Dormitory 7 surrounded by Wang Sheng and others.
When he left, he did not indicate that he was going to obtain spirit rings, he just said that he would be away for a few days.
Since becoming a soul master, Qi Tian has become very sensitive to the aura of soul power.
Wang Sheng has level eight soul power, which is consistent with what he said before. And Xiao Wu.
Qi Tian glanced at Xiao Wu, who was holding her head high and rubbing her fist, as if she was going to avenge the last time she was kicked.
"Not bad, you have reached level 12 soul power. Keep working hard."
Qi Tian said something casually, then climbed out of the window and came to the open space in front of Building 7.
He intended to verify the feasibility of the martial arts recorded in the book.
After all, this is something of unknown origin, so one must be cautious when practicing. He had asked Su Changqing about this when he was leaving the opening ceremony. But the latter did not know the origin of this book.
"Twelve-level soul power, has the boss obtained a soul ring and become a soul master?" Wang Sheng was stunned for a moment, then revealed a proud expression.
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Xiao Wu frowned, because Qi Tian was talking about her.
"Why is this guy's perception so strong? Is his soul power even stronger than mine?"
If one has full innate soul power, one can directly obtain soul rings. Xiao Wu roughly guessed that Qi Tian had gone soul hunting during the days he disappeared.
But she was not idle. These few days, she found a deserted place in the academy and successfully condensed her first spirit ring. She thought she had surpassed Qi Tian, but now it seems that she is still a little behind.
"Hmph, wait until Xiao San comes back, and we'll teach you a lesson together." Xiao Wu turned away, feeling extremely angry.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was evening.
"It seems that the record in this book is true. This is a kind of self-created soul of body movement. Well, a self-created skill."
When punching, the movement of the foot is very important. To become a boxing champion, he must have a set of physical skills.
After an afternoon of exploration, Qi Tian successfully integrated his own body movements with those recorded in the book. Once he has mastered them, it will definitely be like adding wings to a tiger.
"Let's call this new movement Qingyun Step." With a smile in his heart, Qi Tian put the book into his soul guide.
Just as he was preparing for the next move, he noticed that Tang San had appeared beside him without him noticing, "Oh~ Tang San, why are you looking at me!"
Tang San said nothing and ran away angrily.
He had originally planned to show his spirit ring in front of Qi Tian, but after learning about Qi Tian's situation from Xiao Wu, he gave up.
"It's inexplicable." Ignoring Tang San, Qi Tian turned around and said to the window beside him: "Wang Sheng, please bring me some dinner. How much is it? I'll give it to you later."
After learning that Qi Tian had become a soul master, Wang Sheng admired him even more. How could he dare to disobey such a small request?
Seeing Wang Sheng agreed, Qi Tian gently tapped the soul guide on his wrist, and a sandbag was taken out.
The system claims that this sandbag is indestructible. He wants to see what is so special about it.
