The prohibition techniques at the entrance of the third floor of the Skill Transmission Tower no longer posed much of a hindrance to Lu Xun at this point.

He easily broke through them and entered the third level.

The skill and cultivation technique books on the third level were noticeably fewer, mostly yellow level, with a small amount of blue level.

The books were no longer placed on shelves, but on a long counter, with one book following the other.

In front of each book, a small wooden sign was placed with small black letters providing a basic introduction to the cultivation technique or technique in the book.

After all, regular disciples of the Demon Sect could not make unlimited choices in the Skill Transmission Tower, nor could they browse at will, hence, a basic introduction was necessary.

Lu Xun went through them one by one. Even though his final choice would likely not be in this level, there was no harm in gaining more knowledge.

Halfway through, Lu Xun paused, his gaze resting on a body skill book.

“So, the Demon Sect’s Transmission Tower also has ‘Enthralling Steps’,” Lu Xun mused.

This was a body skill technique he learnt in his past life. The technique was not of a very high level, only rated as inferior blue level, and it was particularly complex. It was a kind of skill where only players with great manoeuvring skills could bring out the best effects.

If used to its full effect, this body skill would be on par with those of superior blue level.

In his past life, Lu Xun often went out to wander, and without an excellent body skill to protect him, his ashes would have been scattered numerous times.

Skills like “Enthralling Steps” were particularly favoured by top players because they offer excellent value for the cost!

They only required the experience points of an inferior blue-level skill, but if one’s manoeuvring skills are competent enough, they could produce superior blue level effects—a truly cost-effective choice.

Looking at “Enthralling Steps,” Lu Xun thought to himself, “If there is an appropriate body skill, it wouldn’t hurt to learn it.”

—— it could come in handy for escaping in the future.

Although he didn’t have much experience remaining, he should still have enough to learn another skill.

After checking the third level, Lu Xun began to head towards the fourth level.

The prohibition technique at the entrance of the fourth level was significantly stronger.

After all, the books on the previous three levels were already sufficient for low-order cultivators.

This light screen was prepared for disciples at the Great Perfection of the Initial Realm, as for ordinary disciples, learning powerful techniques too early could hinder their cultivation progress.

Lu Xun approached the light screen, extending his right hand and striking with all his might.

He released both his Sword Qi and Sword Intent together, tearing a rift in the light screen, and then shattering it.

Upon entering the fourth level, Lu Xun estimated that he wouldn’t be able to break the prohibition technique at the entrance of the fifth level.

The fifth level was nothing like the fourth. The fourth level mostly consisted of inferior or middle-level blue techniques, while the fifth level was filled with superior blue-level techniques, and even a small number of purple-level ones.

Moreover, you cannot enter just by breaking through the light screen; permission from the Sect is required as well.

Typically, disciples rewarded with access to the Skill Transmission Tower could only choose from the first to fourth levels. Access to the levels above the fourth was considered a significant reward.

When Sima Chuan initially told Lu Xun to remove all prohibition techniques, he mainly referred to the light screens starting from the fifth level, since he was well aware that the prohibition techniques in the previous levels wouldn’t be able to stop his junior uncle master.

The reason why Lu Xun refused was simply because he wanted to take the Tower Climbing task to earn some experience points from breaking the prohibition techniques.

In the fourth level, Lu Xun leisurely browsed through the techniques. After finishing, he came in front of the seal at the entrance to the fifth level.

He knew he couldn’t break it, but this didn’t stop him from wearing a look of regret as he stood there.

And he stood there for a long time, with regret for a long time.

Meanwhile, he was thinking to himself: “Nephew Sima, I know you’re smart and perceptive. Even though I initially said not to remove the prohibition, looking at my regretful face, you should know what to do, right?”

As expected, in no time, the light screen retreated on its own.

Lu Xun slightly nodded his head maintaining a straight face, and said out loud, “Sorry for the trouble, Master Sima.”

“Oh no, Junior Uncle Master, you’re too polite.” Sima Chuan’s voice rang in Lu Xun’s ear.

After that, he added, “Junior Uncle Master, I can’t remove the prohibition of the sixth level either. Only a token given by the Master can grant access, otherwise, it’s impossible to enter.”

The sixth level was the top level.

Lu Xun was taken aback. He told the Master he wanted to visit the Skill Transmission Tower and the Master had agreed, but he did not give Lu Xun the token, apparently not intending to let Lu Xun enter the sixth level.

Why was this the case, Lu Xun did not know. Perhaps the Master had his deep intentions.

As for what was placed in the sixth level, Lu Xun was very curious, but if the Master didn’t permit it, there was nothing he could do.

The prohibition of the sixth level, even if tried to be forcefully breached by Sima Chuan – an eighth level Great Cultivator, would absolutely leave no chance to break through it, let alone Lu Xun, who was only at the initial realm.

But, the skills within the fifth level were definitely sufficient.

Besides… even if the skills in the sixth level were impressive, what of it?

I can’t afford to learn them anyway!

He directly completed the task “Skill Transmission Tower”, managed to break through 3 light screens on his own, and happily earned 15,000 Experience Points.

After regaining some vitality, Lu Xun’s experience points returned to just over 30,000.

With 30,000 Experience Points in hand, he felt relieved choosing a skill.

To make himself more sturdy, there were two options.

The first was to pick passive skills that could increase his health bar or his defense, mostly related to body refinement.

The second was various defensive skills. In short, they acted like protective shields.

Lu Xun personally preferred the second option.

The reason was simple. Rather than trying to increase his health, it was easier to equip a shield. And powering the shield relied on using Spirit Force, meaning that as long as he had enough Spirit Force, all would be fine.

Lu Xun had that kind of Spirit Force everyone desired. It was fierce and had abundant reserves, making him an endurance type.

The more advanced the Nameless Technique’s training, the greater the advantage in Spirit Force reserves!

In the future, the more Spirit Force he had, the thicker his shield would be. Not just thicker, sometimes he could apply several shields at once.

When others finally managed to destroy one of his shields, they would be surprised to find that…

there were even more shields inside!

A Russian Doll-type shield, unexpected, right?

Even just thinking about it felt invigorating!

Once he had clarified his goal, Lu Xun started searching within the fifth level.

The skill books and cultivation technique books on the fifth level were not in the form of books anymore, but as crystal stones. Taking them would be useless, as they contained seals that still needed to be unlocked.

Luckily, the basic introductions were still inscribed on them, making Lu Xun’s selection easier.

After browsing from start to finish, he finally set his sights on a pink crystal stone.
