Chapter 336: Chapter 237: Cultivation Technique Compatibility"Be careful," Mu Can cautioned, knowing that in this mysterious place, caution ensures a safe journey. A little precaution is never wrong. "Don’t worry, if nothing unexpected happens, there shouldn’t be any problems." Xu Liang was actually quite confident in himself. Although at the beginning when faced with Mu Can, Xu Liang felt immense pressure. Even though Mu Can was a teammate, his strength was truly formidable—a Martial Saint and such a young one at that. In the Mortal World, such beings were rare. Naturally, being Mu Can’s teammate brought Xu Liang even greater pressure. However, as they spent more time together, Xu Liang found his footing. He was a stickler for tradition, which meant he adhered to propriety and did things by the book, observing rules. But this didn’t mean he was inflexible. Even if Mu Can was a Martial Saint, no one could be perfect in every way. Xu Liang’s specialty was extracting useful information from these details. When Xu Liang’s hand touched the "Eight-direction Fist" manual, a miracle occurred. Without any resistance, he easily took it in his hand. As Xu Liang held the Cultivation Technique in his hands, a few words slowly appeared on the cover of the manual. "Eight-direction Fist," an entry-level Fist Technique with extremely high compatibility, was suitable for cultivation. "Just as I thought." After skimming through the manual and confirming it to be a common Fist Technique in the Mortal World, Xu Liang returned it to the shelf, his eyes shining brighter though. "Compatibility, could it be that when we choose a Secret Manual, these Manuals are also choosing us?" Seeing Xu Liang successfully retrieve a manual, Mu Can asked. "It seems my guess was correct. Just as you mentioned, there must be a mechanism here that helps us choose the Cultivation Techniques that suit us. If I’m not mistaken, the ’Heavenly Cutting Sky’ I tried before might not be very high level, but my compatibility with it was especially low, so I couldn’t pick it up." In Mu Can’s view, everything at Tongshen Mountain was satisfactory except for the annoying and petty aspects, like the concealed rules one had to uncover themselves. If it weren’t for meeting Xu Liang, finding these things would certainly not be so simple. Thinking this way, Mu Can’s view of Xu Liang became much friendlier. Back at the Immortal Ancient Academy, Mu Can, with his unruly nature, often got disciplined by those traditional teachers. Those teachers didn’t care whose Direct Disciple you were; if they were displeased, a beating that could peel your skin off was a light punishment, and not even Xuanyuan Mingkong would intercede in such matters. "If I’m not wrong, the light on these Manuals indicates their level. But this is too damned difficult—so many Manuals, how are we supposed to choose? And we’re to depend on them for battle too? Let me think about what to do." Even Xu Liang, faced with the vast sea of Manuals, no longer showed his initial fervor, but instead felt a deep sense of helplessness. With only three days, it meant they had to choose from the seemingly infinite Manuals the ones they could quickly master, which also had to be combat-effective, as the upcoming battle in three days only allowed the use of these Techniques. Mu Can didn’t speak but looked towards the far-off Manuals that shone with a brilliance like the sun. Their current position was at one side of a massive room, with a pathway under Mu Can’s feet leading to the other side. Bookshelves lined both sides of the pathway, like a library. The gleaming Manuals, twinkling like stars in the night, flickering off and on, seemed to be winking at Mu Can. "Come and get me, learn a new Secret Skill with me." S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Hurry up, I’m a top-tier Manual shining with the sun’s brilliance." Mu Can tried to contact Wang Cai but couldn’t get through, and the connection through Divine Sense was also severed. Wang Cai had analyzed the situation; such phenomena could likely happen when they were in different dimensions. This indicated that presently, Mu Can and Wang Cai were in different spaces. The mysterious Power of Gluttony, manifesting as countless Gatekeepers, the grand Duel Arena, the vast sea of Secret Skills—what exactly was this place? "I’ve got it, we’ve all overlooked something." "Entering here, our goal was simple—to pick the Manuals suitable for ourselves, and then to win the duel three days later. If the rules only allow the use of Manuals obtained here, then everyone’s strength will definitely be limited, or at least confined to the same level, otherwise, it would affect the balance." "Given that, our task is simple: select the Manuals with the highest compatibility, master them quickly within three days. Hence, I suggest that each of us picks one movement technique Manual, one attack Manual, and one defense Manual—to prevent biting off more than we can chew, now is not the time for greed." After a brief contemplation, Xu Liang said to Mu Can. This guy, he’s got the makings of a strategist; should I recruit him into the Wangcai Divine Sect? Mu Can pondered privately. He had long harbored the notion of establishing his own force, but since leaving the Mu Family, one thing had followed another, leaving no room for such plans. However, at this moment, Mu Can genuinely considered enticing Xu Liang. The only one around to offer him counsel was Wang Cai, the ’dog-head strategist,’ quite aptly named as his perspective on matters always fixated on Treasures, which could easily cause delays. Xu Liang was different though, as he thought comprehensively and holistically about issues. The question was whether Xu Liang could be influenced to join. Mu Can recalled what Purple Cloud had once told him: for a strong individual, personal power is crucial. However, if you can build your force, you’ll need someone to manage it, leaving you free to continuously enhance your strength. Suppressing these thoughts, Mu Can decisively concluded that he would pull Xu Liang into his camp given the opportunity. Although Xu Liang’s power was average, his thorough and comprehensive insight made him valuable. "Let’s begin then." Xu Liang took a deep breath. In the Mortal World, he was just an ordinary Loose Cultivator who had his current level of Cultivation because of some adventures. But all this was still not enough. Here, he’d choose the Cultivation Technique most suited for him.
