He grabbed the book from the shelf in excitement and read the title on the gold cover, almost making him jump in delight.
At the same time, the system's voice echoed inside his mind, not startling him before as he anticipated it.
[Congratulations! You have discovered a Legendary Sword Technique, Azure Tide Sword Technique!
Do you want to learn it?]
[It has been detected that you have the incomplete version and only lacked a single intelligence point! Since you have five extra points, do you want to consume one extra point to be added for the intelligence points?]
Lu Zheng did not hesitate to say yes to both.
He did not need to call the system to appear on the wall of text in front of his eyes to learn his current status as he already knew, probably with the intervention of the system on his memory process, that he now had four extra points and four intelligence points.
At the same time, the 'Incomplete' word beside the Azure Tide Sword Technique disappeared, making Lu Zheng rejoiced.
Yet, he did not have the time to completely explode in euphoria when another massive headache assaulted him.
He grumbled but he did not complain anymore.
In exchange for enormous benefits for temporary pain, it would be worth it.
He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and suddenly saw a figure performing different stances and techniques, as though showing him the Azure Tide Sword Technique.
As he was watching the figure, seemingly just a shadow with no appearance at all, performing the stances and techniques of the Azure Tide Sword Technique, he was totally mesmerized.
The shadow figure elegantly swung his sword, even appearing to be controlling the water through his sharp blade.
Furthermore, he was standing in the middle of the ocean, and not a single wave could be seen. But every time he swung his sword, a little wave appeared, becoming bigger until it was enormous, disappearing in the distance, covering the sky.
He started to create a rising wave through the first stance and its techniques.
When he finished performing all the stances and techniques, he stood still, calming the ocean.
Soon, he performed another stance and its techniques in smooth movements, as though mirroring the smooth, unending current of the ocean.
It was seamless, as though tens of cuts transformed into a hundred until it became thousands and uncountable at all.
Suddenly, as he was about to conclude the stance with the last technique, an island with a shore appeared beside him.
The shadowy figure soon transitioned to another stance, creating waves again, which crashed against the shore, producing a powerful impact.
Despite some barriers to prevent the waves from breaking the shore, it became meaningless against the weight behind those unending waves.
At the same time, as the island was dissipating into thin air, since the current stance was about to be concluded, the next stance was now creating a small whirlpool, becoming bigger and bigger.
The stance involves spinning and twisting movements that create a whirlpool effect, resulting in a whirlpool below him.
However, he hovered in mid-air, after creating the massive whirlpool.
Suddenly, as the stance involving the whirlpool halted, the next stance slowly calmed the sea.
It was still and quiet, calming one's heart after the terrifying whirlpool.
However, even Lu Zheng, who was watching from a distance, felt no peace at all.
For some reason, the tranquility from the stance and the ocean seemed to pose more threat than the whirlpool earlier.
Suddenly, the shadowy figure performed a technique, a single pierced technique, seemingly targeting his vitals.
His body screamed in danger, making him tremble all over the place.
Then, the shadowy figure continued to perform another two techniques on the current stance, and his hair stood on end.
Lu Zheng could find no openings on his stance, as it would be defended by the second technique with minimal movements and even if he attacked first, he was afraid to be counterattacked by the third technique that seemed to be able to paralyze him.
He certainly did not want it to happen.
Finally, the second to the last stance was about to conclude, and the shadowy figure soon performed the last stance.
Compared to the previous stance, the last stance was chaotic, creating an overwhelming and unstoppable force of a tsunami, unleashing massive and powerful attacks.
The island with a shore before appeared, and the tsunami crashed towards it.
If the previous stance only crashed the shore, now, it swallowed the whole island.
Lu Zheng felt chills all over his body.
Soon, the scene before him disappeared, replaced by the black image all over the place.
This was what he would normally see if he closed his eyes, but the previous vivid scene of the shadowy figure performing stances and techniques in the middle of the ocean seemed to appear in front of him with open eyes.
He was in awe, remembering them.
He mumbled, "So that was the Azure Tide Sword Technique."
"Not bad." Ravyn's voice echoed inside his mind, startling him awake.
"Did you see it?" Lu Zheng was slightly shocked.
"Of course, what you see, even if you close your eyes, does not escape from me."
Lu Zheng felt chills crawling on his spine.
"Of course, if it involves obscene, then I will not watch it. It depends on me."
Lu Zheng nodded absent-mindedly.
"That sword technique, it was not bad. In fact, if you cultivate it to the peak, you can really summon a tsunami in the desert."
Lu Zheng's eyes widened and sparkled.
He nodded frantically.
"Right? I heard the Clan Head can summon waves. He practiced it in the river and the ocean below the mountain and could indeed summon a tsunami. It's a pity he was killed in the city."
Lu Zheng recognized the factor that defeated his Clan Head.
However, he also acknowledged that fighting inland would not mean putting the Clan Head in a disadvantageous position since he had a Qi.
Qi would soon change into an element once the cultivator became a Master.
Hence, the Clan Head could really summon a tsunami even in the city.
