The Greatest Disciple of the Evil Sect
Chapter 381- Martial Arts Hall

Chapter 381: Chapter 381- Martial Arts Hall

If he could learn these skills from the academy, he would be able to use those points in more important stuff or purchase additional skills. After all, from his recent battles, he was able to learn that one cannot have too many trump cards.

The more skills he amassed, the more powerful he would get.

"Looks like you are rearing to go. Follow me, I will lead you to the martial hall"

With Han Xuan joining them, he led the two to a mountain where a huge, ancient white hall sat. Numerous disciples went in and out of the hall with excitement and hopes in their eyes.

Yang Chen following behind the elder, climbed the stairs and walked into the hall. The martial arts hall of the Holy Orchard Academy, standing true to its name as one of the top institutions of the empire, was very vast.

Numerous bookshelves, floors and spiralling ceiling assaulted Yang Chen’s sight the moment he stepped through the door.

The countless books, scrolls and even shining crystals, it was an assortment of various sights.

"The crystals you see also contain battle skills. They were recorded inside those crystals by various elders who invented them" Tang Xun’er explained from the side.

"It is as she said. However, our destination is not this floor but three floors below it"

At those words from Elder Han Xuan, Yang Chen was stunned. For one thing, the Martail Arts Hall looked much bigger and wider from the inside. The floors not only went up through those spiralling stairs, but even below!

"The martial skills below are only for core disciples or those who have performed a great merit for the academy" As someone who was from the Academy, she was all familiar with the place.

With elder Han Xuan and Tang Xun’er leading, he quickly arrived at the third most bottom floor. Compared to the other floors, this floor was rather unique in that there were no bookshelves or scrolls.

The entire place was a big empty dome with no ends to be seen. Another thing unique to this floor was the numerous energy crystals meandering around this place like a floating river.

Yang Chen had his eyes wide open in surprise when he saw this scene. Each crystal here represented a battle skill, and given the number, there were thousands, if not more, floating in front of him.

"Are all these..." Yang Chen gulped, unable to complete his sentence.

"That’s right, they are all battle skills. However, they are not just ordinary battle skills but the best of the best our academy and Imperial family have amassed over the years. They also record the epiphanies and battle skills invented by the elders" As if knowing what he was about to ask, Tang Xun’er answered his query.

Yang Chen casually grabbed a crystal which tried to run away from him. However, his reaction was faster and split seconds later, the crystal was already in his palm.

"[Heavy Press] Mid Tier Sky grade Battle Skill"

He read out the information that popped up in the surface of the crystal. Just a casual battle skill here was of sky grade. What grades were the ones floating above and shooting like stars?

"Haha, young man, you are quite ambitious. You have already set your sights on the prize huh?" Elder Han Xuan laughed, noticing where Yang Chen was looking.

"That’s right, the ones floating above are of even higher grade. Low tier Heaven Grade and above. As for whether or not you are able to learn them, will depend on your fate".

So that was the case. He wasn’t mistaken after all. The brilliance that those crystals above gave was multiple times brighter than the rest.

Heaven grade battle skills, if he could learn them, his strength would be bolstered by another level. As for whether he was fated with the skills or not, he wasn’t worried about that. His system allowed him to learn all kinds of skills, even those that he had no affinity with.

"Hm? What’s that?"

Yang Chen, who was observing the many crystals, suddenly noticed a strange array in the middle of the floor. Given by the complex runes and inscriptions it was marked with, it looked like quite a high grade formation.

Both Elder Han Xuan and Tang Xun’er had a drastic change in expression the moment he pointed the array out.

The former explained, his face uncannily serious, "That is the Energy Locking Formation that guards the door to the forbidden area of this academy, the bottommost floor of the Martial Arts hall".

The forbidden area of the academy? Yang Chen looked back at the array once again. When put like that, he found himself getting more and more interested.

"Before you ask anything more about that or have any ideas of going there, let me remind you that the academy has a strict rule of punishing any disciple that dares to enter that place. Not only to bar someone from entering, but also to save them"...

"The array you see there is capable of neutralising battle energy and trapping the invader. If someone stays there trapped for too long, they might even become a cripple" Elder Han Xuan warned.

"Do you understand? Never go anywhere near that array".

Yang Chen nodded his head. Although he was interested in whatever was on the bottommost floor, he was not foolish enough to risk his life by entering the array.

"Kekeke... with the amount of mischief points you have, you can buy a Seal Breaking Talisman to break that array" As usual, Amon was up to mischief once again.

"Alright, I have given you all the instructions that you need. Go on now, I will wait for you here" Elder Han Xuan spoke, folding his hands behind his back.

The two juniors cupped their hands and rushed into the hall.

"That’s right, I forgot to mention that lass from the cloud city is also here. Well, he will meet her inside eventually".
