Chapter 770: 6-star Terpsichore
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Millman97
One of the reasons Zhang Xuan was able to slip into the Terpsichore School in the first place was due to the concealment of the night . Even with his aura hidden by utilizing the unique nature of his Heaven's Path zhenqi, there was a huge chance that someone might spot him if he were to attempt to sneak off in the day .
If he didn't leave right now, he would be stuck in the library once the crowd start spilling into the school .
Thus, without any hesitation, Zhang Xuan's soul rushed to the first floor of the Terpsichore Compendium Pavilion, heading for the doors .
The student whom he entered with was still busily looking through the shelves . However, judging from the deep frown on her forehead, it seemed she hadn't found the book she was seeking yet .
Zhang Xuan didn't know what she needed, so he couldn't help her even if he wanted to . Thus, he headed straight for the main door .
Hmm?
Zhang Xuan walked up to the door and tried to open it, but to his alarm, it wouldn't budge .
In order to prevent any unauthorized personnel from entering the premises, a special mechanism was installed to ensure that the doors wouldn't open to without the presence of a student token and Academic Credit token . Unless one possessed strength beyond the level of a Half-Saint, it would be impossible to open!
Zhang Xuan was only able to get in earlier by following the student in front of him . As long as no one tried to enter or leave the library, he would be trapped within!
What do I do now? Zhang Xuan thought frustratedly .
It was still dawn, so there were still very few people in the Terpsichore School at the moment . If he were to delay it any longer, he might very well be found!
For an unaffiliated individual to be snooping around the Terpsichore School in the early morning, there was no way he could explain that!
But if it wasn't opened, the formations and mechanisms constructed around the Terpsichore Compendium Pavilion were more than sufficient to prevent a soul like him from leaving even if they weren't able to perceive him .
Zhang Xuan turned to look at the student in the library worriedly, but the latter didn't seem like she was about to leave anytime soon . Sighing deeply, he could only continue to wait patiently .
Forget it, there's no use worrying over this . I should just make use of this time to study the Heaven's Path Terpsichorean Art…
Since there was nothing he could do in this situation, he decided to find a quiet spot in the library and immerse his consciousness in the Library of Heaven's Path to read through the terpsichorean books he had just compiled .
He had a full compilation of Heaven's Path Terpsichorean Art from 1-star to 6-star, and detailed within them were the cultivation techniques for the various terpsichorean arts .
Since he couldn't do anything else at the moment, he flipped open the 1-star Heaven's Path Terpsichorean Art and began browsing through it seriously .
With the new upgrade of his Library of Heaven's Path, he could take in the content of a book just by flipping open the book, thus allowing him to understand and assimilate the essence of it even faster than before .
To become a terpsichore, one must have a powerful soul and a dance that is nearly aligned with nature in order to draw it out… The purpose of dancing is to enhance the strength of the soul to the utmost limit, thus drawing out its full might…
The knowledge regarding terpsichores flowed through his head .
Before long, Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up .
He had fully assimilated the knowledge regarding the 1-star Heaven's Path Terpsichorean Art .
In other words, even if he were to take the examination at this very instant, he would be able to clear the 1-star terpsichore examination easily .
The prowess of a terpsichore was highly dependent on their soul, and Zhang Xuan had cultivated his soul to be beyond ten meters large . The level that others could hardly reach in their life, he could achieve it as easily as merely eating or drinking .
Drawing his consciousness out of the Library of Heaven's Path, Zhang Xuan noted that the student was still busy looking for her book and had no intentions of leaving yet . Thus, he moved on to study the 2-star Heaven's Path Terpsichorean Art .
While martial artists wield their battle techniques, and terpsichores wield their terpsichorean arts . Terpsichores essentially aim to utilize their art form as a weapon for murder . The world trembles beneath a dance, and in the next moment, a soul perishes . The dance serves as a medium for terpsichores to engage in soul attacks…
Reading the content in the book, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but nod in agreement .
Terpsichorean arts, just like the soul techniques of soul oracles and the Impartation of Heaven's Will, were offensive techniques for dealing with souls . But different from the others, terpsichores utilized their dance as a medium to amplify the effectiveness of their offense .
… Since it serves as a medium, does it mean that, once one reaches the very peak, one will be able to engage in powerful soul attacks even without using the dance as a medium?
As Zhang Xuan continued to read on, a certain line appeared before him .
Engage in powerful soul attacks even without using the dance as a medium? Does that mean… the Swordless Realm? Zhang Xuan thought in agitation .
He might not know much about terpsichorean arts yet, but he did have some mastery in the field of swordsmanship . Based on what he knew, if one were to cultivate their swordsmanship to the peak, they would be able to utilize even a blade of grass or a pebble by the roadside as a sword . Going further, they might even be able to execute the full prowess of a sword art without a weapon in hand .
That was to say, the sword only served as a medium in order to execute the techniques . Even without a sword in hand, one could still execute a sword art, perhaps even more fluidly, completely, and agilely .
What Zhang Xuan was reading was very unlike the knowledge imparted in the conventional books that terpsichores read . His road of cultivation was directed toward the ultimate endpoint—for the swordless to surpass any sword, for the formless to surpass any form .
Reading on…
"…Terpsichorean arts aim to utilize movements as a medium to engage in soul attacks . In essence, even walking and the slightest gestures could be considered as movements, so they could, as well, be considered as terpsichorean arts…"
"A true terpsichore dances not with a routine set of movements but with even the most casual of gestures…"
…
Before long, Zhang Xuan was done browsing through the book .
He closed eyes to slowly savor and comprehend the knowledge he had just taken in .
Geji! Geji!
Crisp echoes sounded from his soul as a new world unfolded around him .
2-star terpsichore, reached!
Continue!
The more Zhang Xuan studied, the more excited he became . Thus, he went on to finish the remaining books as well .
Four hours later, he was done browsing through all of the books and assimilating their knowledge .
As if his massive soul had been tempered, it looked much more transparent and purer .
Terpsichores utilize their dance as a means to beguile, enchant, attack, or even kill the soul of another… Even though Zhang Xuan had never learnt terpsichorean arts before, he had comprehended the most profound and innate essence of the occupation . Currently, his knowledge regarding the occupation was unmatched by anyone beneath 7-star .
If he were to take the examination at this very moment, he would definitely qualify for 6-star pinnacle .
