The Hidden Skills Hall wasn't large. It contained only two rows of bookshelves, holding a total of one or two hundred Secret Manuals.
It might not sound like much, but this was just for the Outer Disciples, and it wasn't a small number by any means.
After all, in a place like Qingyuan County, most prominent families only possessed a single Secret Martial Art.
Quite a few people were already here, most of them disciples from Qingyuan County. But everyone was focused on finding the Cultivation Technique they wanted, so no one was greeting anyone else.
Xu Yang scanned the room and quickly spotted the Thunder Shock Fist.
He strode forward, took it, and flipped it open. His expression immediately darkened. The Secret Manual only contained the first half; the pages that followed were blank. His plan to learn it on the sly was instantly foiled.
After a moment of thought, he decided to choose the Thunder Shock Fist anyway.
