Chapter 105 - Thunder Stomp
Inside the hall, Davion saw many shelves where colorful jades were kept. He approached them and found that each shelf contained different types of spiritual arts. They were formation spells, attacking spells, defensive spells, footwork spells, and lastly the hardbody skills.
"Damn, I didn\'t know that a middle-grade sect would be so terrifying. They have so many spells. Not only that, there are arts belonging to almost all the elements," Davion had his mouth wide open.
"If only I was stronger, I would have recorded all these arts inside my panel," He sighed.
"Maybe in the future, I might be able to do so." He had a wicked smile thinking about it.
"Let\'s forget about it. First of all, I need to find a spiritual art that would overcome my shortcomings?" He racked his brains and finally came to a decision.
"In the Outer region, I was in great need of a spell that would boost my movement speed. Maybe I should get it now. Even though I still lack a defensive spell, my strong body can make up for it. So, the footwork spell should be my priority." He came infront of the shelf containing footwork spells and looked at them thoroughly as a small introduction about each spell would pour into his mind once he used his spiritual energy.
"Light Feet Steps, Evasive Breeze, Thunder Stomp, Waveform, Earth Plates…"
A few minutes later, he managed to get a general introduction about all these footwork spells. Only then did he back off.
"Among all these spells, the Evasive Breeze and the Thunder Stomp are the top-notch footwork spells as they make you much faster than the other spells. This is due to the fact that these spells depend upon wind and lightning elements respectively." He already knew that among all the elements in nature, wind and lightning travel the fastest.
"However, the Thunder Stomp is much better offensively. Even though it might be difficult to learn as it requires someone having the rare thunder spiritual root, it is not a problem to me." He picked up the jade and tried to use his spiritual energy to break through it by force but he was unsuccessful.
"As a thought, I am weak right now." He then brought out the projection of the contribution points from his ring. The moment this projection came out, the jade started to shine. So, he brought the jade towards the projection and suddenly the points became empty and a large amount of information about the technique became deeply rooted in his mind.
"So, it\'s like this." He had a basic understanding of how this technique worked. As the name suggested, one had to concentrate their lightning Qi in their legs and use the force generated by them to propel forwards.
Although this technique sounded quite easy, it would be really difficult for someone to control this lightning Qi perfectly in their legs. The lightning element is the most destructive and powerful element among all the elements. Due to this reason, it was very difficult to control it and someone might even damage their legs.
He put the jade back and left the hall. However, when he came outside the old man called him out again.
"Kid, did you already choose the spiritual spell?" The old man was surprised when he saw Davion coming out this early. He knew that all the new disciples would take a lot of time to choose their spell as they would check all the spells one by one to find the most suitable for them. If he knew that all spells inside would be suitable for Davion then he would surely regret asking this.
"Of course." Davion nodded his head.
"Hope that you were not so hasty and chose a wrong spiritual spell. I know many disciples who got greedy and chose spells far beyond their caliber. As a result, they couldn\'t cultivate them and had to suffer." The old man gave him a few more pointers.
"Thank you, elder." Even though what the old man said was useless to him, he still bowed and thanked him. He could feel that the old man was trying to help him with sincerity.
"Actually, I didn\'t stop you here for this. I forgot to give you this jade." The old man passed him a jade slip.
"What is this?" Davion asked.
"You should know that all these spells inside here are for improving your battle powers and they will not help you increase your cultivation. So, you should know what this is for?" The old man said.
"Oh! You mean to say that this jade slip contains information on how to cultivate from the Golden Core Stage and reach the Nascent Soul Stage?" Davion could understand what this old man meant.
"Humm, it looks like you\'re quite smart. Indeed, what you said is true. Ok, you can go now." The old man like previously waved his hands and Davion was sent out in the blink of an eye.

"It\'s been many times that I have already experienced this strange power. But I still can\'t feel anything." He sighed thinking about how he easily got sent outside.
"It\'s time to go back and learn the spell.. I have left Ryland alone in the courtyard as he might create some trouble. Who knows if he panics if I get missing for a long period of time?"
