One was a Top-grade Technique, Cyan Smoke Melody, which was the latter half of Cyan Smoke Prelude.
Cyan Smoke and Thin Mist—stealthy and swift. Those at the Foundation Establishment stage would find it nearly impossible to trace.
The other was a qualification—a Secret Technique qualification.
Number 99 immediately spoke up. "The Secret Technique qualification is something you get in the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Courtyards. You have to place in the top three of the Seven Peaks' annual competition to get it."
"Then you have to place in the top three one more time to learn the Upper Chapter."
"After that, you have to participate in the annual assessment for the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Courtyards, and you have to do it while you're still in the Seventh, Eighth, or Ninth Courtyard."
"Only by achieving the required rank can you learn the Middle Chapter."
