The Spirit Level Martial Skill was so special that even the Ministers of the Lenoir Family didn't have a chance to look at it. Only the Lenoir descendants who reached the Earth Level would have the chance to train with it.
However, among the Lenoir descendants, Kenneth Lenoir had reached the highest level, but was only at the Third Sky of the Disaster Level. He was still one step away from the Earth Level.
Leylin walked into the Martial Spirit Palace.
In front of the Martial Spirit Palace, an old woman with wrinkles all over her face turned as she saw Leylin.
This old woman was named Aurea Grus, an old Minister of the Lenoir Family. Like Paul Wrogan, she was also a Nirvana Level warrior of the First Sky. It was said that she was even older than Eren.
She had stayed in the Family for decades and was trusted by Eren, so she was assigned to guard the Martial Spirit Palace.
"Elder Aurea!" Leylin saluted as he strode to the door, and entered.
Aurea stepped away for Leylin to enter the palace. And as soon as he entered it, she stood back at the door and stood straight. Eren has already informed her that Leylin can go to any floors except for the fifth and last one.
There are eighteen Mortal Level Martial Skills on the first and the second floor, eight Profound Level Martial Skills on the third floor, and four Profound Level Martial Skills on the fourth floor. As a Human Realm Warriors and someone preferred by Eren, Leylin have checked them all one by one and recorded them.
On the walls of every floor of the Martial Spirit Palace, there were several stone grooves. In each of these grooves, there was a book on Martial Skills.
The grooves were covered with green crystals, at the center of which was a small key hole. A piece of paper beside the keyhole briefly introduced the Martial Skill located in each groove.
After walking around the second floor, at least ten Martial Skills of the eighteen Martial Skills were ordinary and were trained by many Mercenaries and warriors, such as 'Star Fist'.
The other eight Martial Skills were rarely seen outside, and although their power and training process seemed quite simple to him, he still recorded to analyze the skills.
Star Net', which can turn one's Profound Qi into light and weave it into a star net. This star net can directly restrain the enemy's Profound Qi but needs a lot of Profound Qi and high density to be utilized even still Leylin analyzed and started to work in its optimization process.
This Martial Skill requires very dense Profound Qi and complete control of your Profound Qi. Once optimised, Leylin can use it effectively with A. I. Chip assistance.
Another interesting Marital Skill is 'Desert Prints', which can produce thousands of hand prints from all directions and block the enemy's movement, pushing them to fight you directly. Lenoir Family have a special Martial Spirit, and used in conjunction with 'Desert Prints', they can release it's ability to the fullest. This 'Desert Prints' is the perfect match for Petrification Martial Spirit!
But once can't train with it before reaching Disaster Level, for the same reasons as before. Leylin who is already at the Third Sky of Human Realm with his superior stat can can start practicing it.
The next is a movement technique named, 'Dark Moon Shadow'. When trained to the highest state, body would turn into an untouchable shadow. It's not easy either. It requires a high level and the help of the energy of Disaster Level.
The last one is Martial Skill which trains one's fingers. Once completed, the fingers will be as sharp as knives and can pierce the enemy's body easily. It's very easy to defeat an enemy and completely shatter him after training in this Martial Skill. Combined with Petrification Martial Spirit, it has an extremely strong power.
To train with the skill named Finger Gun, one needs to reach the second stage of Petrification and have the dark light first. Thus he won't break his fingers while training.
"These four Martial Skills, I can further enhance my 'Dark Lighting Armor'. With the final upgrade and optimization from the A. I. Chip, I can increase its power to more than 70% and can even fight two higher realms above me." Leylin thought as he looked at the slowly progressing status bar of the A. I. Chip, Leylin has recorded a lot of skills and read all the ancient texts available in Berkan archives, currently his database have analyzed a lot of skills and have been reevaluating, analyzing, reverse engineering and deciphering the similarities, connection and clues in them to better understand the cultivation world.
Leylin stopped looking at the different skills as he went to the corner of the room and took out the Spirit Level Martial Skill book 'Gravitational Field' from his robe.
Sitting in the corner, Leylin was frowning as he was turning the pages one by one. Though it was a type of Spirit Level Martial Skill, Elementary Level and Nascent Level warriors could also train with it.
There was only one requirement for training it; one had to possess at least two types of power.
Only when the two powers clashed against each other would a Field be created. The space in the Field would twist and thus, create attraction.
Once the Field was created, it would drag everyone but its creator into it.
Under its power, anyone who was dragged into the Field would automatically spin and their blood and flesh would be squeezed. Their Profound Qi would be suppressed and they wouldn't be able to operate their Martial Skills.
According to the author of the book 'Gravitational Field', the more types of power the trainer possessed, the more powerful the Field would be.
If the trainer had three or four types of power, the Field he created could directly kill Disaster Level warriors!
Once there were five types of power in the Field, even an Earth Level warrior would definitely die!
Holding the book and thinking for a while, Leylin contemplated.
Common warriors had only one type of Profound Qi in their body. Only those who possess special Martial Spirits could have another type of power.
Apparently most warriors couldn't train with this magical Spirit Level Martial Skill, because very it was rare for people to possess two or three types of powers in their body.
Luckily Leylin was among the minority. He has various energies to make use of, from the negative energy from his meridians which are usually filtered out, to devour energy, elemental manipulation, where all very different from Profound Qi.
As of now, Leylin can manipulate Profound Qi, devour energy and negative energy so, he could train with it directly.
"Let's try and see, if I can accomplish it."
Leylin stretched out his left hand and released some of the negative energy from the meridians along with some devour energy in his arm.
Wisps of white smoke and colorless power sprawled over his arm and stealthily flew in front of him according to his will.
Profound Qi was being operated in his fingers, then it quivered and was injected into the white smoke which was floating in front of Leylin.
The Profound Qi then wriggled like a snake in the white smoke...
The white smoke and the Profound Qi slowly combined, forming into one after some small swirls, in which, a magical attraction suddenly erupted.
As the attraction occurred, that space seemed to collapse and contract at once.
The nearby air was sucked in and the surrounding space seemed to decrease sharply, feeling rather heavy.
His eyes shining brightly, Leylin focused on the small Field and tried to feel the magical power, injecting more Profound Qi into it.
Although the Field didn't get any stronger. it's magical power persisted as Leylin calmly analyzed the Field.
"The ratio and manipulation is kinda tricky, I need to tweak a few things here and there and it would be good to go." Leylin thought as he snapped his fingers and a later of white smoke was added.
After just a a few glances, he gained a deeper understanding about [Gravitational Field], and knew more about it after a period of time.
The deeper he probed the [Gravitational Field] skill, the more profound he found this Spirit Level Martial Skill to be. There were many more truths hidden in it.
While training in this Spirit Level Martial Skill, Leylin was also in the process of trying to understand the truth of this universe.
The Field which was previously stabilized due to a force, suddenly began to strengthen as soon as the white smoke was added.
Gazing at the Field for ten seconds, Leylin was thinking on the details. Eventually he withdrew the three types of power out of the Field.
The Field disappeared at once.
It seems the balancing is the key, and Leylin has to balance not one but three energy and each is very dissimilar to each other, which brings power to the skills all the while carrying the risk of failure.
If one of the powers surpassed the other one, it wouldn't strengthen the Field, but break the balance and decrease its power.
There needed to be an accurate balance between the three powers, or the power of the Field could not be released to the fullest extent.
Days passed as Leylin devoted himself to his two Martial Skills: [Dark Lightning Armor] and [Gravitational Field]. Apart from having meals, he spent almost all of his time on his training and laboratory.
After a thorough analysis of the A. I. Chip, Leylin easily mastered the skills and had made significant progress in the further growth of his [Dark Lighting Armor].
His physical attributes became tougher and tougher, and would even make the sound of metal when struck after other metals.
Every time he finished training, he would delve into the Spirit Level Martial Skill book [Gravitational Field].
He didn't exhaust himself but kept conducting his disappointing yet vital experiments.
