Unlike the library's inner area, which contained many ancient bookshelves lined with books, the central area had various globes of blue water rotating around a three-story-tall water globe .
As soon as Shi Feng set foot into the central area, he felt his consciousness waver .
The constant pricking pain he had felt in the darkness had pushed him to his limits .
The Titan Library really is a special place . Shi Feng sat down and took several deep breaths .
Although he was very tired, he was ecstatic .
However, his excitement was not due to his success in reaching the central area . Rather, he was thrilled about what he had gained in the darkness .
Never in his dreams had he thought that he would find a Secret Technique hidden in the darkness .
The sword trajectories he had employed to defend the 32 targeted points was profound . It was even more astounding than an advanced combat technique .
Shi Feng had realized how frightening this Secret Technique was as he had continued to improve his swords' trajectories . If he could grasp this sword trajectory, his swordsmanship might even surpass Sirius's six-in-one combination attack .
"Not bad, young man . It's been a long time since someone's reached this area . " Shortly after Shi Feng had sat to rest, a figure appeared before him, praising Shi Feng .
Looking up, Shi Feng discovered Warren, the library manager who had disappeared .
"Since you've passed the test, follow me," Warren said before turning and walking towards the massive water globe .
Hurriedly, Shi Feng rose from the floor and followed the manager .
Although dodging the needle attacks had taken its toll, he had not yet exceeded his mental endurance . He didn't need to rest immediately as Bloodsucker had .
After reaching the transparent globe, Warren began to recite an incantation .
The massive globe slowly descended from the air . Despite standing over a dozen yards away, Shi Feng could feel the daunting Mana radiating from the globe . This Mana was far purer than that within the Seven Luminaries Crystal . Furthermore, the Mana that the globe released into the air did not scatter . If the globe exploded, Shi Feng did not doubt that the explosion would obliterate the Titan Library .
"Go on . This is where the most precious Skills the Titan Library has collected over the years have been contained," Warren urged . "Of course, you may also challenge the library's core, but be warned; throughout the past several hundred years, only seven have reached the core and left to tell the tale . "
"Lord Warren, I've decided to choose a Skill Book here," Shi Feng declared without hesitation .
He had been lucky to reach the central area .
As for whether that luck would carry him to the core, Shi Feng did not even dare to wonder .
As far as he knew, only five players had entered the Titan Library's core in the past . Every single one of those players had been a Tier 6 God-ranked expert . With his current strength, his chances were close to, if not, non-existent .
In all honesty, Shi Feng had considered trying . Unfortunately, his time was running out .
On the off chance that he overextended his mental endurance and was forced to log out to rest, he might even drown in his regrets .
"A wise decision . " Warren nodded pleasantly . "The magic barriers inside the Titan Library are the blood and sweat of the ten saints . That is especially the case for the magic barrier that protects the core . Without standing in the same realm as the ten saints, challengers have no chance of success . Had you attempted to challenge the barrier, you would've been disqualified . "
" . . . !" Shi Feng rolled his eyes at the manager . "You're only telling me that now?"
Following which, Shi Feng disappeared into the massive water globe .
Upon entering the globe, a list of books appeared before Shi Feng . Every Skill Book listed was either a Tier 5 Skill or a Tier 4 Sure-kill Skill; the list contained hundreds of them .
Shi Feng's eyes drifted to the Tier 4 Sure-kill Skills without even glancing at the Tier 5 Skill Books .
Although Tier 5 Skills were much stronger than Tier 4 Sure-kill Skills, one could only learn the former after reaching Tier 5 . To his present self, a Tier 5 Skill Book would be as useless as a very expensive paperweight . It was not nearly as practical as a Tier 4 Sure-kill Skill .
There were a total of 133 Tier 4 Sure-kill Skill Books on the list, and Shi Feng rejoiced at the sight .
If he could learn them all, every Tier 4 player would be no more than a punching bag .
There was a wide variety of Skills to choose from . Some were Single-target Skills like Flame Burst, while others were AOE Skills like Skywheel Sword . There were also Control Skills like Abyssal Bind and Abyssal Curse . There were even extremely precious Berserk Skills and Support Skills . These Skills covered nearly every aspect and were more than enough for players to compensate for their shortcomings .
After much contemplation, Shi Feng decided to search through the AOE Skills .
While Single-target Skills and Berserk Skills could elevate a player's combat power tremendously, AOE Skills were far more effective in group battles and grinding .
Shi Feng was currently in a rush to reach Level 50 . An AOE Skill was, without a doubt, his best choice .
There were a total of five AOE Attack Skills . Some dealt physical damage, while other dealt magical damage . Some even dealt a mix of each .
"Having both would be the best choice . " Shi Feng dismissed the first two varieties .
While the pros of a physical or magical Skill were obvious, the cons were just as clear . If he encountered a monster that countered either type of damage, the Skill would lose its effectiveness . Take Firestorm for example . If he used the Skill against a fire-type monster or an Elemental Being, the Skill wouldn't help him . Rather than risk such a specialized Skill, it was safer to pick one that dealt both types of damage .
After excluding the specialized Skills, Shi Feng was left with two books .
The first book contained the Skill Divine Punishment . When activated, the Skill dealt a combination of physical and holy damage to monsters in a targeted area . The Skill covered 20 yards in every direction and had a Cooldown of 10 minutes .
The other Skill was Lightning Edge . Upon activation, it would deal a mix of physical and lightning damage to monsters in a cone . The Skill had an initial coverage of 30 yards and a Cooldown of 15 minutes .
Countless players in God's Domain dreamed of obtaining both Skill Books .
Shi Feng found himself in a bit of a bind .
Holy damage would be twice as effective against Dark Creatures . In addition to his Sacred Sword, he would be a nightmare to Dark Creatures if he chose Divine Punishment . The only downside was the Skill's limited range .
As for Lightning Edge, it was suitable for kiting monsters .
Noticing that he was running out of time…
After a moment of hesitation, Shi Feng chose Lightning Edge .
He had chosen this to help him level faster .
Following which, Shi Feng clicked to learn Lightning Edge . As soon as he did, a stream of energy emerged from the water around him and surged into his body .
System: Congratulations! You have learned Lightning Edge .
[Lightning Edge] (Action-type) Tier 0, Level 1 (Requires 200,000 EXP to upgrade to Tier 0, Level 2) Channeling time: 0 . 5 seconds Deals 300% physical and 300% lightning damage in a cone in front of user . Initial coverage range is 30 yards . Duration: 3 seconds Cooldown: 15 minutes
As expected of a Tier 4 Sure-kill Skill . Its starting damage and required EXP are double that of Flame Burst's . If it reaches Tier 1, it will likely be even stronger than Firestorm . Shi Feng was elated when he saw the Skill's information . He immediately decided to upgrade Lightning Edge's level .
