Chapter 573: Three Secret Skills to Subdue Demons
Man Futian led Shen Xiang towards a very tall building, walking slowly on the stairs.
"Shen Xiang, that eight-armed golden ape is not easy to deal with, right? Why did you take so long?" Man Futian asked. He wanted to see something from Shen Xiang's answer. Dongfang Yao was a good seedling, but he had been gone for such a long time and had not come back, while Shen Xiang was back. People couldn't help but suspect that he had encountered some accident.
"I attacked him eight times in total. I was injured in the first seven times. The last time, I found an opportunity and succeeded in a sneak attack, killing him with one move. That's why it took me so long." Shen Xiang spoke so realistically that it was hard to tell whether it was true or not.
Several elders from the Demon Subduing Academy have already sent people out to look for Dongfang Yao. Shen Xiang is not worried about this. As long as the Demon Subduing Academy has no evidence to prove that he killed him, he is not afraid.
Coming up there, Man Futian activated a formation and teleported Shen Xiang to a bright and spacious huge hall. Shen Xiang could feel that he was in an independent space, without any connection to the outside world.
The walls around this hall were lined with bookshelves, on which were placed thick books, and in the middle were many tables and chairs. More than twenty people were concentrating on reading some thick books, carefully memorizing the contents. Even when Shen Xiang was teleported in, they did not go to look.
It was very quiet in here. Everyone was concentrating on reciting the martial arts techniques. The only sound that could be heard was the rustling of pages turning. At this time, Shen Xiang saw a white-haired old man walking towards him.
"I'm the manager here, Wang Yuan. It seems that this is your first time here. Do you have anything to ask?" the old man asked with a smile.
Shen Xiang looked at the countless thick books on the bookshelf, and was indeed very confused: "There are so many high-level demon-subduing martial arts here! Is there a catalog or introduction so that I can see the introduction of each demon-subduing martial art."
Wang Yuan laughed: "Although there seem to be a lot of books here, there are only three types of demon-slaying martial arts in total, but there are ten copies of each type, so there are so many!"
The corner of Shen Xiang's mouth twitched. There were only so many contents in the three demon-slaying martial arts. It was really too scary. He felt that these might be divine martial arts. Only this kind of powerful martial arts that could evolve would have so many contents.
"It is difficult to learn demon-subduing power because there are too few of them. In order to make it easier for future generations to learn these demon-subduing martial arts, some old predecessors added many learning methods. There are many kinds of learning methods, which take people in various special situations into consideration. However, there are not many main martial arts techniques, only one volume!" Wang Yuan explained.
Shen Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. He had learned the magic skill to suppress demons, and it had given him a lot of trouble at that time.
"Let's not talk about you. Take the dean for example. He can't master the three demon-subduing martial arts just by relying on his mental skills. Otherwise, those old seniors wouldn't have to add their annotations and record in detail the many different methods of cultivation." Wang Yuan added, when many students first came in, they were like Shen Xiang, thinking that they could learn it just by looking at the mental skills, but in the end they still had to honestly read countless books on cultivation experience.
Shen Xiang nodded and said: "I know this, but I think it would be more efficient to memorize the martial arts skills first, and then look at the cultivation experience left by the predecessors."
Wang Yuan handed Shen Xiang a piece of paper and said, "This is a brief introduction to one of the martial arts."
Shen Xiang took it and looked at it, his brows slowly frowned. The first martial art he saw was called "Demon Suppression Qi Array". According to the introduction, this was a demon-suppressing martial art related to formations. It was specifically designed to teach people how to set up formations and use true Qi to quickly condense a Qi array to attack or defend.
"I didn't expect that there really is something that combines formations and martial arts together!" Shen Xiang was looking forward to it. He himself also had some understanding of formations. After devouring the memories of four formation masters, he already had a strong foundation.
"What about the other two martial arts for subduing demons?" Shen Xiang asked again.
"This Demon-Suppressing Qi Array is the easiest to learn, but if you want to get started, it will take you a long time to learn." Wang Yuan had no choice but to hand Shen Xiang two more pieces of paper.
Looking at the other two martial arts for subduing demons, Shen Xiang felt a little depressed, because one of them was called "Demon-Suppressing Energy", which he could use after learning the Demon-Suppressing Divine Art.
Another martial art to subdue demons is called "Demon Subduing Fist", which needs to be used in conjunction with demon-subduing power and demon-suppressing energy, otherwise the effect will be minimal. Demon-subduing power enhances demon-suppressing energy, and demon-suppressing energy has powerful killing power against demons. The combination of these three martial arts is simply the nemesis of demons.
"I'll memorize the Demon-Suppressing Qi Array first. May I ask where it is?" Shen Xiang returned the three pieces of paper to Wang Yuan.
Wang Yuan quickly brought a very thick book, handed it to Shen Xiang, and said: "Don't waste time, you only have three days to come in this time."
After Shen Xiang took the book, he found a random place to sit down, and then began to flip through it quickly. With his current mental state, he could basically remember the contents of an entire page at a glance. The same was true for Su Meiyao and Bai Youyou. Their spirits were very strong, and this was because their brains were developed to the extreme, and they had very strong memories.
Su Meiyao and Bai Youyou not only memorized them in their minds, but also copied them down quickly, because Shen Xiang wanted to pass these demon-subduing martial arts to Xue Xianxian and the others.
"Sister Meng'er should be very interested in this Demon-Suppressing Qi Array." Shen Xiang quickly saw many arrays, all of which were composed of some profound spiritual patterns, which also required him to spend more time to memorize them.
It took him a full day and a half to memorize the Demon-Suppressing Qi Array. He already had a general understanding of this martial art that involved formations. At first, it didn't feel very difficult to him, because he had a foundation in formations. Moreover, he could easily understand many of the mental methods and formulas in it, mainly because he had learned the Demon-Subduing Power and Demon-Suppressing Magical Skills.
Next, he borrowed the Demon Subduing Fist from Wang Yuan. The book was relatively thin, and mainly contained some punching postures, routines, luck methods, and some profound mental methods. He memorized them all in just half a day. After all, there were not as many formations in this book as in the previous one. However, the Demon Subduing Fist was much more difficult than the Demon Suppressing Qi Formation.
He still had some time, so he pretended to memorize the Demon-Suppressing Energy, and asked Su Meiyao and Bai Youyou to copy it in the ring, because Xue Xianxian and the others did not understand the Demon-Suppressing Energy.
The demon-suppressing energy is only a part of the demon-suppressing magic art. Naturally, its content is not as much as that of the demon-suppressing magic art, but it is still not small. Like the demon-subduing fist, it is also very difficult.
Three days later, Shen Xiang was sent out of the room. Although he had not yet read the cultivation experience and methods written by the old predecessors of the Demon Suppression Temple, he was confident that he could learn by himself, because when he was memorizing, he had a general understanding of the difficulty of these martial arts. With his familiarity with many kinds of magic skills, he felt that it was not difficult.
