It's like a persistent ghost.
How did this little girl sneak in?
Chen Ke looked at the girl in front of the bookshelf and walked forward with a look of surprise: "Miss Shui, it really is you!"
Shui Changqing held a scroll in her hand and smiled sweetly: "Young Master Chen, we meet again!"
Life is full of unexpected encounters, and here, between two rows of tall bookshelves, two masters of acting meet once again.
The two seemed to have forgotten what happened at the Dragon Gate Swamp, and their smiles were so warm and friendly, like that of siblings who had been separated for many years and suddenly reunited.
Chen Ke showed a relieved expression: "I accidentally crushed your jade token back then, causing you to be eliminated, and I felt guilty for a long time. It's really great to see you here at the Divine Dragon Pavilion!"
How dare you say that!
Shui Changqing smiled even more calmly, but a raging fire was burning in her chest.
If that bastard hadn't crushed her summons jade token, she wouldn't have left the Great Swamp in such a sorry state, losing her chance to pass through.
To this day, Shui Changqing still clearly remembers how disheveled, how devastated, and how resentful she was when she was trapped in the bubble barrier and floated into the sky.
It was just one step away, just one step away, and that bastard ruined it all.
After being eliminated, Shui Changqing hated Chen basterd to the extreme and was extremely unwilling to accept it.
She transformed into Shui Changqing, joined the Great Xia Academy, and passed the Dragon Gate trials in order to become a Divine Dragon Student and gain access to the Divine Dragon Pavilion's collection of books.
She can't just wait a year to make a comeback; she doesn't have that much time.
She racked her brains and went to great lengths to collect several treasures, which she then presented to the imperial court, thus obtaining special permission.
Even so, she was only qualified to browse the books on the first floor of the Divine Dragon Pavilion.
Getting the stool up to the second floor is as difficult as climbing to heaven.
But on the second floor, there was what she truly wanted.
Chen Ke glanced at the books in Shui Changqing's hands and smiled, "The books on the first floor are quite ordinary. Let's go up to the second floor; the books there are more worth reading."
You did it on purpose! You must have done it on purpose!
Shui Changqing was filled with rage, her face turned pale with anger, and she almost exploded on the spot.
You bastard, college loser, despicable person, why bring up such a sore subject? If I could even get to the second floor, would I need you to say that?
It's all your fault!
"Oh dear, Miss Shui, you don't look well. Are you sick?" Chen Ke asked with concern, looking at Shui Changqing's pale face.
Shui Changqing suppressed his anger and smiled nonchalantly: "I guess I've been reading too many books and I'm a little tired."
Chen Ke said admiringly, "Miss Shui's thirst for knowledge truly puts me to shame. In that case, I won't bother you any longer; I want to learn from you!"
As he spoke, Chen Ke nodded slightly, brushed past Shui Changqing, and walked towards the other end of the bookshelf.
Chen Ke went straight up to the second floor via the spiral staircase in the lobby and disappeared at the top of the stairs.
As Shui Changqing watched Chen Ke's disappearing figure, she trembled with anger, her jade-like hands gripping the book tightly until her knuckles turned white.
call!
Letting out a long breath, Shui Changqing suppressed the murderous intent in his eyes and smiled again.
You college loser, I'll let you be smug for a while. Once I'm free, I'll show you how to deal with you!
call!
Once Chen Ke reached the second floor, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Being stared at by a vixen is a truly unpleasant experience, like being targeted by a venomous snake.
This girl is really amazing. She didn't become a student of the Divine Dragon Academy, but she still managed to get into the Divine Dragon Pavilion. She truly deserves to be called the Eight-Winged Goddess.
Fortunately, it seemed she couldn't get to the second floor.
That's good, that's good. The Great Xia Academy is finally not confused anymore.
Chen Ke calmed down, walked to a row of bookshelves, and casually flipped through a Xuan-level martial arts manual, completely forgetting about the Eight-Winged Goddess downstairs.
The extraordinary "photographic memory" skill is activated instantly.
His two eyeballs trembled rapidly, like two high-definition miniature cameras, completely memorizing the contents of the entire book.
Meanwhile, the entire book was backed up in the "Backup Folder" on the Windows desktop.
Backing up a Xuan-level martial arts technique requires 200 points of mental energy, which is negligible for Chen Ke.
One book after another.
In less than half an hour, all the Xuan-level martial arts techniques on the two rows of bookshelves were backed up.
This efficiency is many times greater than the library he once had in Haotian Valley!
But thinking about it, it makes sense. How could his current soul value limit be comparable to what it was back then?
continue!
Chen Ke did not feel tired at all. After pausing for a moment, he continued to browse through the martial arts manuals on the bookshelf.
It must be said that the Shenlong Pavilion has a much larger collection of books than Haotian Valley.
There are at least two hundred Xuan-level martial arts manuals on the second floor, including many high-grade Xuan-level martial arts manuals.
Moreover, with an open mindset of "education for all," the Shenlong Pavilion's collection of books was not explicitly divided into "Secret Texts of the Academy."
There are 58 different martial arts manuals, covering a wide range of topics, for the students of Shenlong Academy to choose from freely.
Since it wasn't marked as an "academy secret manual," Chen Ke could then pass on the copied martial arts techniques to Tie Niu and the others.
In less than two hours, Chen Ke had backed up all two hundred or so Xuan-level martial arts manuals.
He spent another hour or so backing up some miscellaneous classics as well.
These miscellaneous studies cover a wide range of fields, including mental cultivation techniques, meditation, medicine, astronomy and geography, inscription and magic arrays, alchemy and weapon crafting, etc. Even if Chen Ke doesn't need them, Tie Niu and the others will probably find them useful.
Even if Tie Niu and his team don't need it, Chen Ke believes that one day, others will.
Before he knew it, it was afternoon, and Chen Ke felt a little tired.
After backing up the last book, he hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked downstairs.
The notes left behind by Master Molin are stored in a special area on the second floor. They need to be verified again before one can access them.
Since the Eight-Winged Goddess can't go up to the second floor right now, he plans to put it aside for now and focus on synthesizing the skill first.
Eat your food one bite at a time, and do things one step at a time.
Next, he needs to find those Shenlong students and directly copy their martial arts techniques from them.
Only after activating the martial arts skill can the "skill synthesis" mini-program be triggered.
As soon as Chen Ke went downstairs, the first thing he saw was Shui Changqing reading intently in front of the bookshelf near the stairs.
Shui Changqing's hair was a little messy, and there were faint traces of sweat on her smooth forehead. Her face was even paler than before.
Chen Ke was surprised at first, then a smile appeared on his lips.
This little girl hasn't given up yet. She's lingering at the top of the stairs, probably looking for a way to sneak up to the second floor.
However, the closer one gets to the second floor, the greater the mysterious pressure becomes.
Chen Ke was only able to withstand the pressure from the second floor thanks to the Divine Dragon Token in his hand.
Not to mention, hidden behind Shui Changqing's painted skin is a demon woman.
Although Chen Ke didn't understand the recognition principle of the Divine Dragon Pavilion's magic array, he figured the magic array would be stronger in suppressing and repelling alien races.
Chen Ke walked up to her with a beaming smile: "Miss Shui, let me treat you to dinner."
"roll!"
Shui Changqing roared inwardly, but a faint smile appeared on his face. "Next time, I still have many books to read."
Chen Ke looked on with admiration. What kind of spirit was it for a demon woman to be so dedicated to the culture of the human race?
Take your time, as long as you don't go up to the second floor, you can keep doing whatever you want.
Chen Ke gave a slight bow and walked towards the gate.
He didn't have time to waste here with the eight-winged goddess; he still had so many skills waiting for him to copy and activate.
