Chapter 0085
"Golden Portal of Firestorms . "
Once again, Wu Yu flipped open the scroll and began reading, taking great care not to miss out on a single detail within the pages .
Golden Portal of Firestorms was an umbrella term which included several different dao techniques of similar nature . For example, the Art of Lightning Control included the skills Heartpiercer Lightning and Heavenly Thunder . It even included the forbidden Lightning Demon Metamorphosis that Situ Mingliang had used against Wu Yu .
"Enables use of spiritual power to construct a golden portal that spews violent flames .
"The greater the proficiency of spiritual power usage, the greater the number of portals able to be summoned concurrently . " The maximum limit of five portals, if used to surround the enemy, would probably be able to reduce them into powdered ash!
After approximating the strength of the dao techniques, Wu Yu could barely contain his excitement . As these dao techniques were chosen of his own will, they held much more meaning than one he could have obtained from Feng Xueya .
"Alas, the last segment of this scroll contains the forbidden dao technique Golden Portal Annihilation . The greater the destructive power, the greater the risk of damaging oneself in addition to others; one cannot use this without restraint . "
Amongst the several dao techniques suitable for Wu Yu, this was the only one that was not meant exclusively for sword cultivators .
Therefore, Wu Yu picked it to be his very first dao technique .
"Alright then, let it be the Golden Portal of Firestorms . "
He prepared to leave with the scroll .
At this moment, a pale hand shot out, grabbing the scroll from within Wu Yu's grasp .
Wu Yu had been so focused on studying the contents of the Golden Portal of Firestorms that he had not spared any consideration towards his surroundings . Capitalizing on this lapse in concentration, Lan Shuiyue had stealthily approached him, effortlessly stealing the scroll that he had been so intent on .
After spending four whole days combing the Scripture Holding Depository for a suitable dao technique for himself only to have it snatched by Lan Shuiyue, Wu Yu simmered with silent fury . He stared at the candlelit beauty and said, "This dao technique is not compatible with you, return it to me . "
"Return it to you? What a joke, the scroll is not considered yours until you have passed it to the Lone Elder . " Armed with this information, Lan Shuiyue exuded an air of arrogance .
"I'll say it again, Golden Portal of Firestorms is definitely unsuitable for you . "
The only reason she had stolen this dao technique was to hinder Wu Yu's progress .
"So what? I want to see that green-eyed expression on your face . Would you dare to make a move against me within the Scripture Holding Depository?"
The corners of Lan Shuiyue's lips curled into a grin as she saw the frustrated look on Wu Yu's face . This pleased her greatly .
Seeing Wu Yu remain speechless, she waved the scroll in her hand lazily, taunting him, "I'm too lazy to waste time here with you, I'll be off first . " She turned, fully intent on leaving with the Golden Portal of Firestorms .
"Leave it . "
Wu Yu could not let the past four days of effort get taken from him in such a manner .
He had been too engrossed and had not noticed Lan Shuiyue stalking his movements for half a day .
Pretending that she had not heard him, Lan Shuiyue waltzed out of the room with the scroll .
Upon seeing her hips sashaying in a mocking fashion, Wu Yu was incensed . He suddenly sped towards the exit, catching up to Lan Shuiyue .
"Hmph, you're courting death!"
Upon sensing Wu Yu's movements, Lan Shuiyue let out a passionless laugh . Her intent was to let Wu Yu make the first move so that he would have to shoulder the blame if they came to blows .
"You dare to disregard my presence for four days, disrespecting me . I will teach you a lesson!"
Lan Shuiyue had already prepared herself .
"Stop!"
Something unimaginable had occurred .
Following the moment that Wu Yu had caught up to her, Lan Shuiyue's body seemed to freeze solid for a split second . In the blink of an eye, the Golden Portal of Firestorms scroll was nestled firmly within Wu Yu's hands .
Indeed, Wu Yu had used the Fixed Body Art .
Like the time before, the cost on his spiritual power was massive . Although Wu Yu had spent the last couple of days practicing the move, his present rate of success was only at 50% .
If it had failed, he would have spent his spiritual power without any effect on the opponent .
"You!"
Lan Shuiyue pointed a trembling finger at Wu Yu as she stood flabbergasted . She could not fathom how Wu Yu had managed to take the scroll from her .
"You can't even grip a scroll tightly, how do you expect to lure me into attacking you? Silly!" Wu Yu waved the scroll above him, breaking into a triumphant smirk .
Upon hearing Wu Yu's words, Lan Shuiyue fumed with even more anger . "Wu Yu, etch this into your memory: I will make you kneel in front of me and swear subservience!" she retorted indignantly .
"Kneel? You must be out of your mind," chuckled Wu Yu . He could no longer be bothered with her and turned towards another section of the Scripture Holding Depository, wishing to peruse more scrolls .
"Don't you move!"'
Lan Shuiyue's voice became shrill as she shrieked . She had always been respected in the sect, and only a few people, such as Su Yanli, dared to be discourteous to her in the entire Bipo Mountain Range . To add salt to the wound, Wu Yu, the latest to join their ranks, had begun as a mere servant .
Unfortunately, against Wu Yu, her words fell on deaf ears .
Lan Shuiyue was so enraged that she shook with anger; she was on the brink of going to war with Wu Yu at this moment . Just as she was about to move, she sensed the arrival of some people from outside .
