Long Ryu went inside the martial hall. He saw an old man with white was sitting in front of a desk and reading a book. Then he went in front of that old man and greet him and said, "Greeting elder, the patriarch has given permission to me borrow some martial art books for practice"
The old elder replied, "Ok, You're in elementary profound 5th stage cultivator, So you can only take books from 1-3rd tier human rank and 4th-5th tier can be learned when you're in the nascent profound realm. On the 1st floor is all the 1-3rd tier human rank book you can go pick 6 books you like from there in 3 hours and come to me I will register them in a diary" Then Long Ryu smile mischievously and asked the elder, "Elder can you give this junior some guidance?"
After hearing that elder smiled and replied, "You got courage. Because you're patriarch son you think I will you my guidance but I have never even given guidance to miss Liu Bia." After he said that he stop for some time and then again said, "But if you're able to find a defense type 2nd tier human rank soul martial art in 2 hours. I will give you a similar attack type soul martial art" "Ok, elder I will find that soul martial" Long Ryu accept the challenge he thought that an as game task.
"Ok, your time starts now" the elder announces the start of time. Long Ryu start reading all martial arts books from 1st tier to 3rd tier. The old elder noticed that and thought that Long Ryu only focused on finding the soul martial art book but Long Ryu didn't just read the book he also memorize them all and made a separate file of all the martial arts in his system. It was possible only because of his martial comprehension talent that he buy from the system that he can store any human-rank martial art and learn it.
He read the all 1-3rd tier martial arts but he couldn't find a single soul martial art so he start searching again this time also he didn't find that martial art and time was running out only 30 minutes remaining. Then he got the idea to use soul power to search. This time he found a scroll hidden inside between two shelves with his soul power. He take the scroll out of the shelves and but there was nothing written on the cover page. Long Ryu read the martial art scroll and confirmed that it was really that soul martial art that he was searching for. He went to the old elder and showed him that.
Old elder was surprised to see that he was able to find that martial art, "Good you were able to find that scroll by luck but as promised I will give this 2nd tier human rank attack type soul martial art. You need to have minimum 1st tier soul power to use this soul martial art" "You can go to clan alchemy house and asked him to give you a soul cultivation art" "Thank you Elder and I will ask father for soul cultivation art" Long Ryu said. "Then I will take these two soul martial arts" Long Ryu added. "Are you sure you went to only take these two martial arts? If you want I can give you more extra 1 hour" Elder said. "No, I don't need any more time now I will come next week and return these martial arts. At that time if I need any martial art I will take them." Long Ryu replied. "I like that you're taking your time learning these 2 soul martial arts and the clan's martial art tournament will be held 3 weeks later." Elder reminded him. "Ok, elder I will remember that. Now I will go".
On the way out he read that soul martial art. The martial art he decided to use are 1st tier Qi fist, 3rd tier Leopard steps art, 3rd tier bronze punch art, 3rd tier fire kick art, 3rd tier flowing water sword art, 3rd tier eagle arrow, 2nd tier soul armor, 2nd tier soul needle.
He decided to keep using Qi fist because it has more power than the clan's 3rd tier martial art. He will use this as a tramp card. Then there is a speed-type martial art leopard steps. Bronze can be used as an attack and defense type martial art. 3rd tier fire kick will help him in pinch. Two 3rd tier weapon art he will them to hunt hater and beasts. And both soul martial will help to kill Liu Ling and Liu Hong without being suspected. Now he has to wait until they come into the clan. Then he will set the trap up.
