I Have A Trillion Protagonist Halos

After leaving the Splendor Hall, Su Zhan didn't go directly to White Cloud Peak. Instead, he headed towards the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect's Library.

He was in urgent need of Profound-level martial arts techniques. It was a matter of utmost importance for his cultivation. According to the information transmitted by the token, he arrived at the Library one hour later.

The Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect's Library was enormous, consisting of three levels.

Each level corresponded to different levels of martial arts techniques: Mortal Grade, Profound Grade, and Earth Grade.

Of course, there weren't many Earth Grade techniques in the library, and most of them were low-quality. After all, even for a Martial Master Realm cultivator, cultivating Earth Grade techniques was quite challenging.

People were coming and going through the main gate of the Library.

Seeing Su Zhan standing there, they could immediately tell that he was a newcomer who had just entered. It seemed he was awed by the grandeur of the Library. Some smiled at him, most of them friendly, but there were also a few with contemptuous and disdainful expressions.

Su Zhan didn't pay much attention to them.

In the fantasy world, it was a survival of the fittest, and the strong looked down on the weak. These experienced cultivators naturally wouldn't bother giving a newly admitted disciple like him any attention.

Entering the Library, Su Zhan went straight to the second floor. Rows of bookshelves were neatly arranged before him.

There were cultivation techniques, sword techniques, palm techniques, body techniques, alchemy manuals, artifact forging manuals… and even strange and bizarre tales from the martial arts world, covering a wide range of subjects.

"Morning Sun Art, low-grade Profound level. Cultivating this technique extends one's breath and accelerates the recovery of true qi."

"Fire Spirit Art, mid-grade Profound level. After cultivation, true essence can be transformed into fire attribute, becoming wildly powerful."

…

He quickly browsed through various techniques.

In the end, he chose a high-grade Profound level technique: Sun Flame Scripture.

When cultivated to the pinnacle, true qi could transform into a blazing fire that covered the heavens, possessing boundless might!

Moreover, the Sun Flame Scripture was highly compatible with his Great Sun Divine Body, making cultivation twice as effective.

However, as an Essence Condenstation Realm cultivator, a high-grade Profound level technique was still too advanced for him. Even with the Cultivation Halo, it would probably take some time for him to get started and convert the true qi from his Cold Jade Art.

With these thoughts in mind, Su Zhan walked towards the section on martial arts.

Among the vast collection of martial arts in the Library, sword techniques were the most abundant, perhaps three or four times more than any other martial art.

After all, the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect primarily focused on the path of the sword.

"With the Great Sun Divine Body and the Sun Flame Scripture, it would be best to choose another sword technique with a yang attribute. That way, I should be able to unleash even greater power!" Su Zhan's gaze swept over the various sword techniques.

Finally, he selected a high-grade Profound level sword technique: Flowing Fire Sword Technique. It was a sword technique with extremely explosive power.

Next were palm techniques, fist techniques, and body techniques.

Since he had the special identity token given by Qin Jincheng, there were no restrictions on the number of cultivation techniques and martial arts he could choose. He decided to go for a complete set.

He would take them back and cultivate them slowly!

It took him a good half an hour to choose the cultivation techniques and martial arts before he arrived at the registration desk.

"Sun Flame Scripture, Flowing Fire Sword Technique, Flickering Shadows…"

The attendant, a Martial Master realm disciple in charge of registration, was momentarily stunned. He looked at Su Zhan and said, "Don't you know that you can only choose one martial art at a time? You can select another one for cultivation once you have achieved at least proficiency in one."

Su Zhan nodded, about to explain when the attendant's expression suddenly changed. "Wait! You look unfamiliar! Are you a new disciple? Show me your identity token!"

"Sure." Su Zhan had planned to present his identity token, and now he handed it over to the attendant.

"Why is your identity token… This is!"

Glancing at the name "Su Zhan" on the token, the attendant found it somewhat peculiar. He flipped it over and saw the name personally inscribed by Qin Jincheng, instantly filled with astonishment.

Injecting a trace of true qi into the token, sensing the unmistakable aura of strength belonging to the Sect Master, the attendant's expression changed.

He held the token with both hands and respectfully handed it back to Su Zhan.

"I never expected Junior Brother to possess a special identity token personally inscribed by the Sect Master. As far as I know, there are only three individuals in the entire Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect who have this honor, including you, Junior Brother! From now on, you can freely choose any cultivation techniques and martial skills. Just let me record them when you leave!"

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Su Zhan smiled faintly and accepted the token.

In the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect, reaching the Martial Master realm before the age of thirty would qualify one as a true disciple, while those who broke through after thirty would become attendants. Although the cultivation level is the same, the difference in status and position between the two was like heaven and earth.

It was precisely because of this that an attendant at the Martial Master realm showed such respect to him, a mere Essence Condensation realm cultivator.

Putting the cultivation technique manuals into his storage ring, Su Zhan walked out of the library.

As he walked along a small mountain path not far from White Cloud Peak, several cultivators in the Essence Condensation realm blocked his way.

"You look unfamiliar. Judging by your appearance, you must be a new disciple who has just selected cultivation techniques and martial arts from the library?" The leading man asked.

"Yes, what's the matter?" Su Zhan glanced at them, seeing through their strength.

Apart from the man who asked the question, who was at the mid stage Essence Condensation realm, the others were all at the early stage.

"Newcomer… Brother, may I know your name?"

"I'm Su Zhan."

The man smiled and said, "Junior Brothe Su Zhan, I'm Zhao Li. I've been in the Inner Sect for four years. You can call me Senior Brother Zhao. I have a habit of protecting newly admitted junior brothers and sisters from being bullied by other senior disciples!"

"Hmm?" Su Zhan looked at Zhao Li with some astonishment.

Is this person a fool?

Noticing Su Zhan's confusion, Zhao Li continued, "Of course, this protection comes with a small fee, Junior Brother. You understand, right?"

So, he wants to charge me for protection. Su Zhan understood Zhao Li's intention and shook his head, "I advise you to get rid of this habit."

"Are you refusing?" Zhao Li's expression changed, and his tone became impolite. The other four Inner Sect disciples also approached Su Zhan with unfriendly expressions.

"Kid, don't think that having some status outside means you can be arrogant in the Inner Sect!"

"The Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect is the number one sect in the Xia Country. Since you're a new disciple, you better obediently follow our rules!"

"I've seen plenty of punks like you. Today, let me—"

"Smack!" Before the Inner Sect disciple at the early stage Essence Condensation realm could finish his sentence, Su Zhan slapped him and sent him flying.

He crashed more than ten meters away, spitting out a few bloody teeth!

"How dare you sneak attack! Get him! If we don't teach him a lesson today, he'll think the Inner Sect is his own home!" Zhao Li roared in anger.

Instantly, each of them activated their true qi and launched an attack towards Su Zhan.

"I hit him!"

"I hit him too! This punch should seriously injure him!"

"Wait! How is he unharmed?"

Three Essence Condensation realm disciples looked horrified as they saw Su Zhan covered in a golden glow, not even his clothes were harmed, leaving them unable to comprehend the situation.

These people couldn't even break through the outer layer of the Diamond Body Sutra… Su Zhan was also speechless as he looked at the Inner Sect disciples who were now in a state of confusion.

"If I didn't see you guys making a move, I wouldn't have even realized someone was attacking me. With your abilities, you dare to charge for protection?"
