Fully Tian led Shen Xiang towards a towering building, taking his time as they walked up the stairs.

"Shen Xiang, defeating that eight-armed golden ape wasn't easy, right Why did you take so long" Fully Tian asked, trying to gauge something from Shen Xiang's answer. Eastern Guang was a promising candidate, and now that he had been gone for so long without returning while Shen Xiang was back, it made people wonder if something had befallen him.

"I attacked him eight times in total. The first seven times, I was injured, but the last time, I found an opportunity to sneak attack and killed him in one move. That's why it took me so long," Shen Xiang said, trying to sound convincing enough that his story was true.

The elders in the Subduing Demon Academy had already sent people out to search for Eastern Guang. Shen Xiang wasn't worried about this; as long as there was no evidence from the Subduing Demon Academy that it was him who did it, he wasn't afraid.

They arrived at the top. Fully Tian activated a formation, teleporting Shen Xiang into a spacious hall with bright lighting. Shen Xiang could feel that he was in an independent space, disconnected from the outside world.

The walls around the hall were filled with shelves, each containing thick books. In the middle of the hall, there were numerous desks and chairs, with over twenty people專心致誌地看著 thick books, memorizing the content on them. Even when Shen Xiang was teleported there, they didn't look at him.

The hall was very quiet. Everyone bent their heads, reciting martial arts techniques, only hearing the sound of pages being turned.

At this moment, Shen Xiang saw an old man with white hair walk towards him.

"I'm the steward here, Wang Yuan. Looks like this is your first time coming in, do you have any questions" the old man asked with a smile.

Shen Xiang saw numerous thick books on the shelves and was indeed very confused. "There are so many high-level Subduing Demon martial arts here! Is there a catalogue or summary, letting me see the introduction of every Subduing Demon martial art"

Wang Yuan chuckled. "Although there are many books here, there are only three Subduing Demon martial arts in total. However, each has ten versions, which is why there are so many!"

Shen Xiang's mouth twitched. There were only three Subduing Demon martial arts, which was too scary. He thought that this might be the work of Divine Martial Arts, only such powerful and advanced martial arts would have so much content.

"Subduing Force is hard to learn because there are too few. Some elders wanted future generations to be able to learn these Subduing Demon martial arts more easily, so they added many learning methods. Moreover, there are various learning methods, all considering different special cases, but the main martial arts techniques are not many; there's only one!" Wang Yuan explained.

Shen Xiang slightly relaxed. He had learned the Subduing Divine Skill before, and back then, he struggled to learn it.

"Not talking about you, but take the principal for example, he can only rely on techniques and cannot control these three Subduing Demon martial arts. Otherwise, if the elders had added their explanations, they wouldn't need to detail various different cultivation methods," Wang Yuan said. Many students who came in for the first time thought like Shen Xiang, assuming they could learn just by reading techniques alone. However, in the end, they still needed to study countless books on cultivation experiences.

Shen Xiang nodded. "I know that, but I think it's more efficient to memorize the martial arts techniques first before looking at the experiences left by predecessors."

Wang Yuan handed Shen Xiang a piece of paper and said, "This is the introduction to one martial art."

Shen Xiang took a look and slowly frowned. The first martial art he saw was called "Subduing Aura Formation." According to the content in the introduction, it was a Subduing Demon martial art related to formations. It taught people how to set up formations and use true qi quickly to form an Aura Formation for attack or defense.

"I didn't expect there to be something that combines formations and martial arts!" Shen Xiang was somewhat looking forward. He already had some understanding of the Dao, and after absorbing four formation masters' memories, he already had a decent foundation.

"What about the other two Subduing Demon martial arts" Shen Xiang asked.

"The Subduing Aura Formation is the easiest to learn. However, you'll take a long time to master," Wang Yuan said helplessly and then handed Shen Xiang two more papers.

Looking at the other two Subduing Demon martial arts, Shen Xiang was somewhat depressed because one of them was called "Subduing Elemental Aura." After learning the Subduing Divine Skill, he could use it.

The other martial art was called "Subduing Demon Fist." It required配合 Subduing Force and Subduing Elemental Aura. Otherwise, the effect would not be significant. Subduing Force enhanced Subduing Elemental Aura's power, and the Subduing Elemental Aura had great killing power against demons. When combined into three martial arts, it was like the nemesis of demons.

"I'll memorize Subduing Aura Formation first. Where is it" Shen Xiang handed the three papers back to Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan quickly brought out a thick book, handed it to Shen Xiang and said, "Don't waste time; you only have three days in here."

After receiving the book, Shen Xiang randomly found a seat and began flipping through it quickly. With his current spiritual power, he could basically remember the content of an entire page in one glance. Su Meiyao and Bai Youyou were also similar, their spiritual powers were very strong because they developed their brains to the extreme and had extremely powerful memories.

Su Meiyao and Bai Youyou didn't just memorize the information in their minds; they also quickly copied it down because Shen Xiang would need to pass these Subduing Demon martial arts on to Xiexiansi's group.

"Sister Meng'er should be interested in this Subduing Aura Formation," Shen Xiang quickly saw many formations composed of deep arcane patterns, which made him spend more time memorizing.

It took him a total of one and a half days before he memorized the Subduing Aura Formation. He had a general understanding of this martial art, which was mainly an array technique. The first feeling he got from it wasn't difficult because he had a foundation in formations, and many of the techniques could be understood easily due to his understanding of Subduing Force and Subduing Divine Skill.

Next, he borrowed the "Subduing Demon Fist" from Wang Yuan. The book was thinner and mainly covered the posture of punches, routines, breathing techniques, as well as some deep arcane patterns. He only needed half a day to remember it all because there were fewer formations mentioned than the previous book. However, the difficulty of Subduing Demon Fist was much greater than that of Subduing Aura Formation.

Next, he had time left. He pretended to memorize Subduing Elemental Aura while making Su Meiyao and Bai Youyou copy it down in their rings since they didn't understand Subduing Elemental Aura.

Subduing Elemental Aura was only part of the Subduing Divine Skill, so it naturally had less content than Subduing Divine Skill. However, it was still substantial and similarly difficult compared to Subduing Demon Fist.

Three days passed, and Shen Xiang was sent out of the room. Although he hadn't read through those cultivation experiences written by the elders of Subduing Divine Temple, he had confidence in learning them on his own. When he was memorizing the techniques, he roughly understood their difficulties, and relying on his familiarity with various divine skills as a foundation, he didn't think it would be difficult.uang Jinian, we should not go.
