Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

The floors here are all made of marble, giving the entire library a very antique feel. The lower six floors all have windows, while the top three floors are completely sealed off, relying solely on magical devices powered by magic crystals for ventilation.

Yan, as a freshman, was not originally qualified to enter the top three floors, but when school started, he took the opportunity of defeating Lei Xiang to get Zhuang Jing to issue him a special library card, so he could also go up to the upper floors.

Yan usually reads miscellaneous books on the lower floors first, and then goes up to the upper floors to read books related to cultivation. But today's events made him think twice, so he went directly to the eighth floor.

The bookshelves on the eighth floor are mostly filled with knowledge related to cultivation, including complete sets of magic books. Magic on the Jin Yuan Continent is divided into ten levels, with three levels each for beginner, intermediate, and advanced, and the highest level, tenth-level magic, being forbidden spells.

The forbidden spells and other destructive magic were not carelessly left in the library. Almost all the other spells from level one to nine were included, except for a few special categories such as darkness and necromancy. The spells of the other categories were all included.

However, Yan had already read most of these magic books, and he hadn't come here for them. Yan stood by the bookshelf at the entrance, scanning the area while simultaneously releasing his mental energy to sense and search for them. After a moment, he took a step forward.

After passing several bookshelves, Yan arrived at a corner. Looking down, he could see something under one of the bookshelves, but it was obscured by the shadow of the bookshelf.

Yan walked over and squatted down, then took out a dusty iron box from under the bookshelf. Three eye-catching characters were engraved on it: "Mad God Technique".

He opened the iron box, inside which was a yellowed book with the words "The Mad God's Technique" written on it. This was a secret manual, a very important one, involving the inheritance of a certain first-level god.

He turned to the first page and saw the general outline of the Mad God Technique: The Mad God Technique, also known as the Overlord Technique, is the most powerful martial arts technique. It can be practiced regardless of one's previous learning. This technique is a special fighting spirit based on developing one's own potential. Those with weak willpower should not practice it, those with weak meridians should not practice it, those who cannot go berserk should not practice it, and women should not practice it.

This manual has strict requirements for cultivation aptitude. Women cannot practice it, and men who cannot go berserk cannot practice it either. This is similar to the "Heavenly Demon Technique" copy that Yan once obtained. Only a group of people with special aptitude and bloodlines can practice it.

With these two crucial requirements, it's even harder to find practitioners of the Mad God Technique than those of the Heavenly Demon Technique. At least the Heavenly Demon Technique can be cultivated as long as one has the bloodline of the Demon Clan's royal family, while the Mad Physique requires awakening, which is full of uncertainty and cannot be stably passed down.

Yan didn't pay attention to the contents of the general outline, but continued to turn the page. This second page contained some taboos and warnings about cultivation, emphasizing once again that without a berserk physique, the body would not be able to withstand the supreme power of the Mad God Technique, and once mastered, one would be killed by the surge of battle qi.

Furthermore, this kind of berserk fighting spirit is extremely powerful. Those with weak willpower will be controlled by the powerful force and go mad when they practice it. Those who practice this technique must control themselves and not be bloodthirsty, otherwise they will go out of control and eventually go mad and die.

Yan frowned slightly after reading it. Judging from the second piece of advice, it wasn't that ordinary people couldn't practice the Mad God Battle Qi, but rather that they would find it difficult to withstand and easily go mad. This didn't seem to be a big deal for Yan.

Thinking this to himself, he turned to the main text, which contained a detailed introduction to the Mad God Technique. The first level was the most difficult to learn. The book said that if one could not convert their original cultivation method into the Mad God Technique and master the first level within a year, they should not continue to force themselves to learn it.

The next part is the method of cultivation. This technique seems quite suitable for me. I can go berserk! Great! I've finally found a martial art that suits me.

Excitedly, I began cultivating according to the words in the book. I circulated my original Heavenly Thunder Armor-Dispelling power along the path of the Mad God Technique. An hour passed, and I awoke from my meditation, drenched in sweat. I threw the book away...

"Give it a try."

With a thought, Yan sat cross-legged on the ground and began circulating his divine power according to the cultivation path of the Mad God Technique. That's right, divine power. Having already become a god, he was no ordinary cultivator. The power within his body had already been sublimated. By circulating these techniques with divine power, it would be easy to handle any problems that might arise.

"This technique is really dangerous!"

Yan Fang had just circulated his divine power when he felt some discomfort. The meridians through which the divine power passed were so painful that they felt like they were about to burst. He had only circulated one-tenth of the meridians when he felt like his body was about to explode. If it weren't for the fact that the divine power itself also had the effect of nourishing the divine body, he might have already encountered a problem.

Even for a god-level expert like him, cultivation is somewhat troublesome; it would be even more dangerous for an ordinary person. No wonder those who haven't met the requirements shouldn't attempt it lightly, as it's truly possible to explode and die.

Yan circulated his divine power to calm the turbulent blood and qi in his body, and continued to cultivate according to the technique. He occasionally felt pain during the process, but they were all minor issues.

"The cycle of Qi has been completed, but the last step is a bit troublesome!"

Yan quickly reached the final step of the first level of the Mad God Technique, which is also the key to the entire technique. Opening the Xuan Guan and circulating the energy throughout the body will allow one to cultivate Mad God Battle Qi, but this is very difficult.

However, the slight trouble was not a problem for Yan. He frowned and increased the output of his divine power, enduring the pain to forcefully break through the barrier. The moment the first cycle of the body was completed, an indescribable pain swept through his body. Yan felt that all the energy in his body had stopped moving, and his meridians were throbbing with pain.

But danger was yet to come. The new power cultivated within Yan's body began to circulate involuntarily, and a special will began to fill his mind, as if a voice was urging him to unleash violence and destroy everything.

"Is this what they call going berserk? It's a really troublesome and domineering power that can hurt both yourself and others. If you don't have a special physique to control the berserk state, most ordinary people would die if they practiced it."

Yan had managed to uncover some of the essence of the Mad God's Battle Qi. A wisp of divine power seeped into his body, neutralizing the frantically circulating Mad God's Battle Qi, and restoring calm to Yan's body.

"Although it's not easy to directly follow the training method, it has still yielded some gains, significantly enhancing my explosive power."

After Yan dispelled the Mad God's Battle Qi, he incorporated some new insights into his divine power to accumulate strength. Although he could not cultivate the Mad God Technique, he could integrate some characteristics of this power into his own power to enhance his understanding of the laws and rules.

"I don't know if this book is the original or a copy, but if we take it away, how will Lei Xiang develop?"

After Yan got up, he rolled up the box containing the "Mad God Technique," carefully put away this inheritance, and walked towards the entrance to the eighth floor.

"Lei Xiang, what are you doing here?"

Yan made his way to the first floor of the library without any problems. Perhaps it was because he had become familiar with the faces of people he had been reading these past few days. No one stopped him or checked him along the way. However, when he reached the first floor of the library, he actually saw Lei Xiang and went up to greet him.

"Yan, it was you!"

Lei Xiang was startled by the sudden greeting, but felt a little relieved after seeing that it was Yan. He then smiled and said, "I came to the library to borrow some books. I didn't have enough knowledge when I was wandering before, so now I finally have the opportunity to come to the library to read some books."

Chapter 632 Jin Lili

"I see. Well, good luck then."

Inside the Tiandu Academy library, Yan nodded to Lei Xiang, who had just answered his question. He knew that Lei Xiang's other identity was that of an undercover agent sent by the Beastman Empire, who came to Tiandu Academy for crucial magic and various books and knowledge. So, it was only a matter of time before this guy came to the library.

"Okay, I'm going up now. Goodbye."

Lei Xiang gave a brief reply and then walked past Yan into the library. Yan touched the copy of "The Mad God's Manual" that was still in his arms, smiled inexplicably, and then left the library.

Yan stepped out of the library and into the bright sunshine. The sunshine warmed him up and made him feel very comfortable. Yan, who was good at fire, loved the sunshine. He squinted and enjoyed the sunshine for a while before continuing on his way.

It's the hottest time of the afternoon, and there aren't many people around on campus. Most people are either hiding in their dorms or houses, and few are out and about.

Yan had only taken a few steps toward the dormitory when he suddenly saw a bright and beautiful figure. The woman in front of him had a stunning figure, and her long, golden waves shone with an alluring glow in the sunlight, making her quite dazzling.

"Senior Jin Lili."

Jin Lili was walking on a tree-lined path dappled with sunlight. She wasn't tap dancing and was in a pretty good mood. She was on her way to pick up her best friend Zixue when she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind. Just thinking about these annoying suitors made her very annoyed.

However, because of the library brawl she caused some time ago, the vice dean had just had a special talk with her, so she didn't want to cause any more trouble and stopped to reject this nonsensical 'pursuer'.

"you are?"

Jin Lili turned around and saw a strange and special young man walking towards her. His red hair and red-haired appearance gave him a special aura. He looked no worse than Lei Xiang, whom she had met in the cafeteria last time, but he was unfamiliar to her. He must be a freshman. He was so polite. She could be more tactful later.

As Jin Lili thought to herself, the coldness on her face softened slightly. Just as boys like beautiful girls, girls wouldn't be so rude to boys who are decent-looking.

"you are?"

Jin Lili feigned a puzzled look, but actually wanted the young man in front of her to introduce himself so that she could learn more about this junior. This was related to the number of fish in her pond, and her fish couldn't just be good-looking.

"Senior Jin Lili, my name is Yan. I am a freshman this year. I am friends with Lei Xiang and also know Senior Zi Xue."

As Yan spoke, Jin Lili's subtle expressions changed several times, indicating that her emotions were fluctuating greatly. "What happened in the cafeteria last time, Lei Xiang was indeed wrong, but that's just how he is, competitive and he won't hold back when it comes to girls."

The last match we had to choose for the top student was between him and a girl. He knocked her off the ring with just one punch…

Jin Lili's expression turned cold, and she said with dissatisfaction, "You came here to apologize to him, so why didn't he come himself?"

"Senior, you misunderstand. I mentioned Lei Xiang because I didn't want such a beautiful girl like you to get upset over an ungrateful guy and have your mood affected."

Yan Xiaoxiao continued, "I'm looking for you, senior, mainly because I want to ask you if you know where Senior Zixue is. I need to talk to her about something."

Jin Lili's expression changed from cold displeasure to wariness. "What do you want with Zixue?"

"I want to return this handkerchief to Senior Sister Zixue; she forgot to take it back last time."

Yan pulled a handkerchief from his pocket. One corner of it was embroidered with the character "snow" in purple thread. These days, he had been running into his senior classmate quite often, and things hadn't all gone wrong. Once, he was sweating profusely from exercising, and luckily, his senior classmate had a handkerchief. Just as he was wiping his sweat, the class bell rang. Isn't that a coincidence?

"This really is Zixue's handkerchief. I even asked her how..."

Jin Lili looked at the handkerchief, her wariness turning to surprise. Then she glanced at Yan a few more times, her feelings somewhat complicated.

She had a pretty good impression of the junior in front of her, but it was a pity that it was Zi Xue. She never expected that her best friend had covered things up so well. It was really... unforgivable.

"Okay, then come with me."

Jin Lili looked at Yan holding a handkerchief and smiling gently, and suddenly felt a strange dissatisfaction in her eyes. She pouted, twisted her slender waist, and took a few graceful steps to lead the way.

Yan followed behind Jin Lili, his smile gradually becoming more unrestrained. The senior walking in front of him, whether out of habit or on purpose, would occasionally show off her beautiful figure, exuding a subtle allure. She was truly a stunner.

This kind of girl is definitely the best bed partner. Once you get her, you'll be very open and uninhibited. It's a different kind of enjoyment from a well-behaved girl like Zixue. More importantly, they're also best friends. Putting aside any talk of fake sisterhood, just thinking about it is exciting.

"This is the stable, and it's Lei Xiang's black horse."

Yan followed Jin Lili to a corner of the playground near the back of the dormitory building. There, they could see a stable, where a small figure was squatting and arranging hay. Then, through the wooden fence, he threw hay to the black horse in the stable.

"This horse belongs to Lei Xiang? No wonder this little girl kept it a secret from me. Well, this little girl, I'll teach her a lesson later."

Jin Lili seemed to understand what Yan said, and then expressed her dissatisfaction with her friend's behavior. At this moment, Yan took two steps forward and got a little closer.

"ah……"

Jin Lili was just about to take a detour to scare Zixue when she turned around and bumped into Yan's chest. Luckily, Yan reached out and pulled her into his arms.

"What are you doing...?"

Jin Lili was momentarily stunned, her mind going completely blank. After a brief moment of daze, she finally regained her senses and realized that their bodies were pressed tightly together. The aura emanating from Yan made her feel strange, so she struggled softly to try to break free.

"Senior."

Yan called out softly, and Jin Lili subconsciously looked up, only to meet a pair of passionate eyes. Then she watched as someone's face magnified in her innocent eyes, and she subconsciously lost her resistance.

"Woooo..."

Yan is a master of time management, so he naturally knows how to pursue girls with different personalities. He can slowly and subtly savor the charm of someone like Zixue, but when it comes to someone like Jin Lili, he should take a strong approach and conquer her.

"You, you're so big... um..."

Just as Jin Lili was released and was about to reprimand Yan, her red lips were sealed again. The greedy man tasted all the bright red lipstick, making her rosy and moist face even more charming.

"Senior, don't blame the junior for being reckless. It was you who was restless the whole way. So, are you convinced now?"

Yan loosened his grip on Jin Lili, who was almost out of breath, and his hands slid down her slender waist. Jin Lili's big, watery eyes were filled with grievance and a hint of spring.

She couldn't understand how this junior dared to be so bold, and she regretted her actions earlier. If she had known he was a wolf in sheep's clothing, she should have stayed away.

"You~"

Just as Jin Lili was about to resist, Yan lowered his head and revealed a mocking look.

"Senior, keep your voice down! Senior Zixue is over there. I think you don't want to be discovered, do you?"

Yan's words startled Jin Lili, and in that moment of distraction, Yan had another chance to conquer her. Soon, this beautiful senior student with a great figure and stunning looks collapsed into Yan's arms, letting him do as he pleased. It was quite a while before he released her.

"Senior, what happened today is a secret between us, right?"

In a secluded corner of the school playground, Yan supported Jin Lili, who was almost too weak to support herself, while her other hand deftly tucked her messy and loose dress into place.

"You like Zixue that much?"

Jin Lili glanced at Yan with dissatisfaction, pouted and snorted, "Is she better in figure than me? Or prettier than me? I have what she has too. If you want, I can give it to you."

"Senior, if I wanted to, you'd be mine already. But a good girl like you needs to be chosen at the right time!"

Yan glanced at her slightly disheveled skirt with a mocking look. The two of them had done almost everything just now. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, he would have already taken this stunning beauty right there and then.

"Humph!"

Jin Lili snorted and turned her head away in dissatisfaction. Her ears and her delicate face were already flushed red. After all, she was a virgin. Although she was bold and open in her behavior, she was still not as shameless as Yan.
