Chapter 188: The Five Who Walked Out Carrying Trash
"Oh? Xun'er, here's a transitional Qi Method that suits you. Just make do with it for now."
Wu Tian grabbed a high rank Di class fire attribute Qi Method and handed it to Gu Xun'er.
The entire Library Pavilion fell silent.
At this moment, the place had become nothing more than Wu Tian's personal performance stage.
Ever since Wu Tian arrived, none of the treasures inside had even attempted to approach the other three.
Occasionally, a few would fly toward Gu Xun'er, but the rest?
It was as if the Library Pavilion itself had deemed the other three completely unworthy.
At that moment, Wu Hao, Hu Jia, and the nameless extra finally realized just how vast the gap between them and these two monsters truly was.
Even the Library Pavilion had rejected them.
These three who were once so arrogant in the Outer Academy had suddenly been put in their place.
There was too much difference between genius and true strength.
And right now?
They weren't even geniuses.
But Wu Tian?
He was already standing at the level of true strength.
If he entered the Inner Academy, wouldn't he already be strong enough to graduate?
Sigh…
Hu Jia puffed up her cheeks in frustration, stomping her foot in anger.
But she had no choice.
If she wanted anything from the Library Pavilion, she had to wait until Wu Tian and Gu Xun'er were done.
And yet
What Wu Tian did next completely stunned them.
No matter what it was even high rank Di class Dou Techniques that could rival Tian class techniques he called it all trash.
Gu Xun'er giggled, covering her mouth playfully before whispering,
"Wu Gan brother, what are you looking for? Let me help you find it."
Wu Tian smiled slightly and said,
"I just want to find another suitable Dou Technique for Xun'er."
Gu Xun'er paused, her cheeks flushing red as she asked,
"Wu Gan brother, why don't you pick something for yourself? Actually… I've never even seen you use a Dou Technique before."
Wu Tian smirked mysteriously.
"For a true stronger, every move is a Dou Technique. Those who create Dou Techniques only do so to express their strongest power."
"But I… don't need them."
The room fell silent.
For a brief moment, it was as if the others had a revelation.
But they quickly snapped out of it.
That level of combat was still too far away from them.
They needed Dou Techniques to fight effectively.
But Wu Tian?
Maybe for him, Dou Techniques really were trash.
Maybe…
He only cultivated Tian class techniques at minimum!
Since the Library Pavilion had a time limit, their one hour duration was quickly reduced to just ten minutes due to Wu Tian's nonstop rejections.
The other three were now drenched in sweat, anxious beyond belief.
Can't he just leave us a little something?!
What he calls trash, to us, is treasure!
Wu Tian grabbed another scroll and raised an eyebrow.
This was the Lion Tiger Golden Soundwave, the exact Dou Technique that Xiao Yan would acquire in the future.
A sonic based technique rare, but ultimately, trash to him.
It was only high rank Xuan class.
However, for the Outer Academy students, this was already top tier.
At this point, Wu Tian had confirmed something.
This entire Library Pavilion is garbage.
There wasn't a single Tian class technique or Qi Method here.
This place was just scamming naive students.
And they had the audacity to call themselves Jia Nan Academy?
Not even one Tian class technique?
Tch. Disappointing.
One star rating.
Would not recommend.
Just as everyone thought Wu Tian would call it trash and keep going, he suddenly stopped.
Holding the Lion Tiger Golden Soundwave, he turned to Gu Xun'er and said gently,
"Xun'er, let's just take this trash. We should step back and let them have some time."
Gu Xun'er nodded and smiled brightly.
"Alright!"
The other three: We freaking thank you so much!
You hogged all the time and left us only ten minutes! How generous of you!
As Wu Tian and Gu Xun'er stepped back to the passageway, the remaining three finally felt a rush of excitement.
For the first time, treasures flew toward them.
In those final ten minutes, they scrambled to grab whatever they could.
Then, following Wu Tian and Gu Xun'er, they left through the dark passage.
As they exited, the massive chamber behind them began to shift.
The swirling energy barriers slowly contracted.
Moments later, they shrank into tiny specks, disappearing with a faint crackling sound.
The Library Pavilion became completely empty.
No one would have guessed that this place had once been overflowing with treasures capable of shaking the outside world.
Of course, to Wu Tian…
This place was nothing but a huge trash dump.
Did some Dou Zun powerhouse have too much free time? Why set up this giant garbage collection?
Is this some kind of recycling center?!
With a soft creak, the ancient doors swung open.
Warm sunlight spilled through the doorway, casting long shadows of the five figures standing at the entrance.
Stepping onto the stone steps, they took in the lush green scenery of the valley below.
Compared to the suffocating atmosphere inside the Library Pavilion, the fresh air felt liberating.
Especially for Hu Jia, Wu Hao, and the nameless extra.
They never wanted to experience that oppressive feeling again.
As for Gu Xun'er?
As long as she was with Wu Gan brother, anywhere was paradise.
Wu Tian appeared annoyed on the surface.
But inside, he was beyond ecstatic.
These Dou Techniques and Qi Methods might be useless to him,
But for his faction…?
They were game changers.
With these techniques, the Snake People Tribe would skyrocket in power.
A few moments later, a raspy voice echoed from the doorway:
"Time's up. Leave now. And remember do not disclose anything about what you saw inside."
Wu Tian rolled his eyes.
Would it kill them to talk normally?
Why do these old fossils always have to sound so mysterious?
"HAHA! So, you've all come out?"
At the entrance, Hu Gan laughed as he looked at the group.
"None of you left empty handed, right?"
The group nodded.
Well… we didn't leave empty handed… but we definitely left with trash.
"Good. No matter what you obtained, at least you gained something!"
Hu Gan smiled and bowed slightly to the two gray robed elders.
"Since these little ones have finished, I won't disturb your cultivation any longer. Farewell!"
The two elders completely ignored him.
The others respectfully bowed as well, but the elders simply vanished on the spot.
Where did they go?
No one knew.
Maybe they went off to play cards?
After all, they were always together.
Their relationship had to be pretty close.
Exactly how close?
Well…
Only they knew.
As Hu Gan led the group back through the spatial gate, they returned to the spacious study.
Hu Gan waved his hand dismissively.
"Alright, you've all received your rewards. Rest for the next two days. Then, you'll head to the Inner Academy. Be prepared it won't be easy!"
Seeing Hu Gan's smile, the five exchanged glances and nodded before leaving.
After they left, Hu Gan turned to his granddaughter, raising an eyebrow.
"Jia'er, tell Grandpa did something strange happen in there?"
Hu Jia shook her head and grinned.
"Grandpa, that's a secret~!"
Hu Gan blinked.
My little princess… just betrayed me?!
