Chapter 144 Spatial Contraction and Object Manipulation

Entering, he immediately saw the skill he had been wanting to learn.

Mainly because this move was too powerful.

It would definitely be good for escaping.

And also…

It could also be used to show off!

Just look at Zhang Tianwei and you’ll know.

Just with this one hand of *suo di cheng cun*, he had stunned countless people.

Lin Chen definitely wanted to learn it!

He stretched out his hand.

However, just before his hand touched the skill book, Lin Chen stopped.

Because his soul perception saw the introduction of the secret manual.

Everything else was fine, it really was *suo di cheng cun*.

But…

It actually consumed five times the skill points!

In other words…

It would take fifty skill points?

Lin Chen fell into deep thought…

First of all, he was a Sky Walker.

What were the advantages of a Sky Walker?

Proficiency in all professions' equipment, and the ability to learn all professions' skills.

But the advantage wasn’t infinitely great.

It was because of skill points!

Sky Walkers could obtain extra skill point rewards, but not too many, generally controlled within a certain range… In short, Sky Walkers were indeed very strong, for example, in the first realm transition, others could only have five forbidden spells at most, but Sky Walkers could learn ten.

Moreover, forbidden spell skills could be combined at will.

You could look at the connection between the skills to combine them, making the power even stronger.

But encountering this kind of skill that required fifty skill points to learn made Lin Chen hesitate.

Should he learn it or not?

Looking at the skill introduction and Zhang Tianwei's usage effect, it was really good!

"Let’s look at other skill books."

In the end, Lin Chen temporarily gave up.

There were many skill books here.

Why not shop around?

As Lin Chen expected, the skills on the top floor of the Treatise Pavilion required more skill points to consume.

Mysterious Art Secret Technique *Suo Di Cheng Cun* required five times the skill points.

Mysterious Art Taoist Techniques required even more, eight times.

But the most were Immortal Techniques, which required ten times the skill points!

Lin Chen’s current skill points were only enough to learn one Taoist Technique.

The cost-effectiveness wasn’t the highest.

The best was a Secret Technique, paired with a Mysterious Art spell.

The skill point consumption would be exactly fifty points and thirty points.

That way he could learn two.

Lin Chen wandered around and finally decided to learn two.

Mysterious Art Secret Technique *Suo Di Cheng Cun*.

And another, Mysterious Art Spell, the Object Manipulation Technique!

These two skills should be the most cost-effective that Lin Chen had discovered so far.

Among them, *Suo Di Cheng Cun* naturally didn’t need to be said.

Tearing through the void, and then *Suo Di Cheng Cun*, the initial range of this skill reached five hundred *li*!

After Lin Chen learned it, because of the skill upgrade characteristics of his equipment, it directly rose to level 20.

So the range became five thousand *li*!

However, *Suo Di Cheng Cun* also had a prerequisite to use it… one could not be in a combat state!

What did that mean?

That was, one could not be locked on by the enemy’s attack.

Or one could not attack others within ten seconds.

Otherwise, *Suo Di Cheng Cun* could not be used.

It seemed that Lin Chen's idea of using this skill to move around in battle was wishful thinking.

But it was definitely useful for traveling.

For example, over the vast ocean.

The existence of the Sea Demon Clan and the Temple disciples made the vast ocean almost a restricted area… There was a great risk in passing over it.

But, with this skill, there was no need to be afraid.

Object Manipulation… As the name implied, it could control objects in the air.

It was even more powerful than Sword Control.

Because… it included Sword Control.

Moreover, this skill could also be used to fight, remotely controlling swords in battle, and it could also use some basic skills, such as using Sword Qi Horizontal and Vertical hundreds of meters away.

In addition, he could condense Qi into a sword, and then use the Object Manipulation Technique to command the sword Qi to attack the target… What made Lin Chen most happy was that Object Manipulation could actually be linked to speed.

The range of use of the Object Manipulation Technique was not only related to the level of the skill, but also related to the user’s own speed.

What did that mean?

Because the description of the skill was the user's speed multiplied by 1000 yards, plus the level of the skill, and then multiplied by a range of 200 yards.

For example, now, Lin Chen’s speed had reached 8500 yards per second.

That was 8.5 plus the skill level of 20, 28.5 multiplied by 200, and finally Lin Chen’s Object Manipulation range reached 5700 yards!

Almost five thousand meters.

That was to say, now Lin Chen could directly attack the target with a sword even if he was five thousand meters away from the enemy.

The process of learning the skill was also very simple.

After Lin Chen selected it, looked at the introduction in the skill, as well as those pictures, and then touched it directly with his hand…

The skill book disappeared.

"Crap, forgot!"

Lin Chen was shocked.

Wouldn’t all the books in this Treatise Pavilion be gone if he did this?

However, soon a book that looked exactly the same appeared on the bookshelf again.

"Phew… The Daoist texts in this Treatise Pavilion can be regenerated after being consumed?"

Lin Chen was overjoyed.

He learned both skills.

Then, Lin Chen took out something from his pocket…

The Town Sea Cauldron!

Yes, Kinesius’s Town Sea Cauldron, Lin Chen had unconsciously swiped it.

At that time, because the Sea Island Elf Clan was still attacking the royal court, and Lin Chen had secretly taken the Town Sea Cauldron, no one knew, and he even dragged his sword three hundred *li* to chase and attack the Sea Island Elf Clan, so in the end, everyone didn’t pay attention to where such a powerful thing as the Town Sea Cauldron had gone!

Perhaps, those elves didn’t care much about the treasures of other races that didn’t belong to them?

In short, now the Town Sea Cauldron was Lin Chen’s.

Moreover, Lin Chen also discovered that this was actually an Ancient Treasure.

One that could not be claimed!

However, Lin Chen could use it.

Inputting soul power, he could also control its size.

At its maximum… it could reach half the area of the Soul Sea!

Moreover, this thing could be placed in the Soul Sea!

Lin Chen had always shrunk the Town Sea Cauldron to its smallest size and hid it in the Soul Sea.

In the Soul Sea, the Town Sea Cauldron began to adjust its size, occupying half of the Soul Sea, and then Lin Chen could feel his Soul Sea becoming more stable, and even the Soul Sea increased by 10% in area.

In addition, the Town Sea Cauldron could constantly stimulate the growth of the Soul Sea…

A good thing!

It seemed that the defense of the Town Sea Cauldron was also very strong.

Conservatively estimated, this thing was at least a Spirit Treasure, maybe even a Divine Equipment Heavy Treasure!

Because Lin Chen couldn’t see the specific description of the Town Sea Cauldron.

But as long as it was a good thing, what level did it matter?

The current Lin Chen could be said to be full of treasures.

Ancient Celestial Extremity, Divine Equipment Heavy Treasure!

Five Elements Set, Heavenly Spirit Heavy Treasure!

Now this Town Sea Cauldron was also of great use.

It greatly enhanced the Soul Sea.

"I should have no weaknesses, right?"

Lin Chen looked at his attributes… very powerful.

But, not only attribute data.

Lin Chen’s Soul Sea, now still in the Divine Disciple Realm, had already reached an area of more than twenty-five thousand!

What was the concept?

You must know that Jing Chen was the first on the Gold Ranking in the second-level battlefield before.

His Soul Sea was only about ten thousand in area.

This was already considered the strongest level of the Soul Sea in the second realm transition, the Divine Disciple Realm.

But what about Lin Chen?

Also at the peak of the Divine Disciple Realm, his Soul Sea area reached more than twenty-five thousand!

Very terrifying!

The Soul Sea of a Divine Envoy Realm mid-stage was probably only this big.

Lin Chen happily walked down from the top floor.

He came to the fourth floor, glanced at Sun Lingming, who was holding a stick and still reading, and greeted him with a smile.

Sun Lingming nodded.

The next moment, he turned his head and looked at Lin Chen with a shocked expression.

Then, Lin Chen came to the third floor.

Here, Jian Nishang was closing her eyes, seemingly sensing a sword technique.

Lin Chen didn’t disturb her, but patted A Niu and said with a smile, “Eldest Brother, do you know where Master is now?”

“Junior Brother… uh, are you looking for Master?”

A Niu was slightly stunned.

How long had Lin Chen been to the top floor!

Not even ten minutes.

How could he have been rescued so quickly and was already looking for Master?

So, A Niu asked, “Junior Brother, have you encountered any trouble?”

At the staircase, Sun Lingming’s head appeared, and he said loudly, “If you haven’t comprehended the skill, Master won’t allow you to go out… Moreover, it hasn’t been very peaceful outside recently, I estimate that Master will be a little busy these days.”

“Second Brother, has Master encountered any trouble?” Lin Chen hurriedly asked.

A Niu told Lin Chen, “These troubles are related to you, Junior Brother!”

“Could it be the Jing Clan? That’s impossible! How could the Jing Clan threaten Master?” Lin Chen was puzzled.

With Zhang Tianwei’s strength, wouldn’t he be able to slap people like Jing Qicang and Jing Jiucheng to death?

Sun Lingming had come downstairs, and he carried the stick horizontally on his shoulder, swaying as he walked, and said leisurely, “Who said it’s just the Jing Clan? The Immortal Spirit Kingdom and the aristocratic clans have always been in mutual games. This time, Jing Xiao was killed by you, but Master took you as a disciple again, the Jing, Suiyang, Taiyuan, and Longxi clans, these five major clans, have united, and even a few old monsters have left seclusion. I estimate that they will attack the National Preceptor’s Mansion in the next two days!”

“Then should we go out to help Master?” Lin Chen was shocked.

“This is an internal matter of the Immortal Spirit Kingdom, we are not from the Immortal Spirit Kingdom, how can we interfere?”

Sun Lingming explained, “At most, if the National Preceptor’s Mansion is attacked, we can take action!”

“No, I killed Jing Xiao, but I’m hiding in the Treatise Pavilion, letting Master face the pressure from those clans, wouldn’t that make others laugh at me?” Lin Chen’s expression turned cold.

No wonder Zhang Tianwei had thrown him into the Treatise Pavilion as soon as he arrived in the Immortal Spirit Kingdom.

It turned out that Zhang Tianwei didn’t want Lin Chen to be involved in the struggle between the Immortal Spirit Kingdom’s court and the clans.

But this matter was originally related to Lin Chen, and even Lin Chen was the trigger for the conflict between the Immortal Spirit Kingdom’s court and the clans… and Zhang Tianwei was extremely good to Lin Chen, which made it naturally impossible for Lin Chen to hide and be a coward!

Lin Chen said to the two senior brothers, “No, I’m going to help Master!”

“Junior Brother, you can’t go out, Master said long ago that unless you can comprehend a Mysterious Art Secret Technique, the restrictions of this Treatise Pavilion won’t let you leave,” A Niu hurriedly reminded.

“I’ve learned it!” Lin Chen said.

Hearing this, Sun Lingming laughed heartily and immediately said, “Don’t be discouraged, how long have you been in? Mysterious Art Secret Techniques are not that easy to learn, you have to be calm and not impatient, it’s okay if you can’t learn it.”

After saying that, Sun Lingming felt something was wrong.

Wait…

Did he hear it wrong?

Then, he looked at A Niu.

“Junior Brother, don’t joke, how long have you been in, how could you possibly…”

A Niu had heard Lin Chen’s words clearly.

Lin Chen didn’t say he couldn’t learn it.

But said… he had learned it!

Lin Chen didn’t explain, he directly stretched out his hand and grabbed into the void, and then pulled Sun Lingming and A Niu into it.

The next moment, the three of them appeared on the first floor.

Ye Liuli, who was reading a book, was directly startled.

Then, her gaze fell on Lin Chen…

“Junior Brother, you… you used *Suo Di Cheng Cun*?” Ye Liuli was shocked.

And Sun Lingming and A Niu, who had personally experienced it, both widened their eyes…

*Suo Di Cheng Cun*!

A Mysterious Art Secret Technique!

This newly arrived Junior Brother had actually learned it in less than ten minutes?

This talent was too… too heaven-defying!

Just as the three were shocked, Jian Nishang also came down.

“Sword Master, I have learned a forbidden spell called Sword Breaking Infinity…”

Jian Nishang reported to Lin Chen prettily.

The three people below were numb.

If Jian Nishang had said before that she had comprehended a forbidden spell sword technique in a dozen minutes, then they might have been shocked and said that this little girl’s comprehension ability of the Sword Dao was super strong.

But…

Now Lin Chen had already set a precedent.

Comprehending a Sword Breaking Infinity in a dozen minutes, in front of comprehending the Mysterious Art Secret Technique *Suo Di Cheng Cun* in less than ten minutes… there was no shock at all.

“Not bad, Nishang! Why don’t you continue to comprehend?” Lin Chen asked.

“Not enough brainpower.”

Jian Nishang responded very directly.

In fact… it should be that there weren’t enough skill points.

But, she didn’t understand, she just felt that her brainpower was not enough, and she couldn’t learn more skills, so she told Lin Chen like this.

The four people who heard her words all chuckled…

“What a cute little sister!” Ye Liuli laughed.

“Two senior brothers, can you take me to see Master now?”

Lin Chen asked.

Sun Lingming immediately shook his head and said, “No interest, don’t want to go out.”

A Niu smiled wryly, “He’s just like that… Junior Brother, don’t worry, I’ll take you to find Master.”

The next moment, A Niu opened the restriction.

Lin Chen followed him out of the Treatise Pavilion.

Then, he saw a very quiet courtyard.

In the courtyard, there was even a large pond, and there were even monsters living in the water.

The three of them walked past the pond, and the monsters retreated when they saw them.

For some reason, Lin Chen always felt…

Under this deep water, there seemed to be a voice constantly calling himself.

He came to the side of the pond.

At this time, A Niu stopped Lin Chen and said to him, “Don’t look at the bottom of the lake, that old monster is starting to play tricks again seeing that it’s your first time here…”

Before he finished speaking, A Niu made a few gestures in front of him with both hands.

The next moment, a golden light shot into the lake.

Boom!

Instantly, the faint voice in Lin Chen’s ear disappeared.

“Hmph, old thing, don’t think wildly again, even if my junior brother is tricked into the water by you, you may not be his opponent!” A Niu warned the pond.

At this time, a few bubbles appeared on the pond…

"That's more like it!"

A Niu took Lin Chen away.

But Lin Chen was quite interested in the old thing in the lake.

Was it a Sea Demon?

He had a fever.

A slight fever.

Caused by the air conditioner, blowing directly on him in the afternoon, then he got it.

He had already taken medicine and seen a doctor.

Sorry!

There will be no updates tonight.

This chapter was written intermittently from seven o'clock in the evening until now, and I even went to take medicine and see a doctor in the middle.

However, the train of thought was still not broken.

It’s just that now, the body has turned on the red light… I have to take a break, I’m going to sleep now, if it doesn’t get worse tomorrow, or the fever goes down, I’ll make it up!

Remember, I owe everyone two chapters!

That’s it for today.
