“God-Shocking Finger—Earth Grade, Lower Stage!”
Upon the stone tablet, a line of text clearly emerged!
—It was indeed an Earth Grade martial technique!
“This... this...”
The man responsible for the records stared at Elder Mocang, dumbfounded.
According to the rules, when an Earth Grade martial technique was unlocked, it had to be recorded separately in the registry!
Furthermore, the Dean and all the Elders had to be informed!
Elder Mocang’s heart felt like churning lava; he had a surge of fury but didn't know how to vent it, so he could only bark out
“Don't just stand there, record it!”
“...Yes! Yes!”
The man hurriedly took out another ledger, his fingers trembling as he recorded the entry.
The person standing behind Elder Mocang was even more filled with panic. He tried his best to minimize his presence, not daring to utter another word, even holding his breath.
Anyone could see that Elder Mocang was currently on the verge of a violent outburst; anyone who approached him would suffer!
Elder Mocang suddenly looked up, staring toward the second floor of the Library Pavilion!
Although the Library Pavilion contained many books, there were only a few Earth Grade martial techniques, and they were all hidden very discreetly.
How did Chu Liuyue find it!?
He desperately wanted to rush in right now and kick Chu Liuyue out, but—he couldn't.
At the end of the day, Chu Liuyue was merely reading inside; she hadn't done anything else.
Even if her reading speed was almost maddening, it couldn't be considered a mistake on her part.
Therefore, they could only continue to wait!
If Chu Liuyue continued like this, then they would have to wait until the time was up and she came out on her own!
“Elder Mocang, although Chu Liuyue has opened an Earth Grade martial technique, it isn't entirely without benefit. Look, it has been quite a while and she hasn't moved on to any other books; she must be studying that one intently. According to the agreement, she is only allowed to enter the Library Pavilion to borrow books, but she cannot take them away. Therefore, she will surely spend all her remaining time on this single book, don't you think?”
The man in charge of the records said cautiously.
Elder Mocang's expression became even gloomier.
He had naturally thought of this, but that was an Earth Grade martial technique after all!
To have it found by Chu Liuyue just like that—he truly felt they had suffered a massive loss!
The student from their academy who took first place in the Azure Pride Assembly last year hadn't found an Earth Grade martial technique from any other academy!
“You stay here and keep a close watch! I am going to inform the Dean of this matter!”
“Yes!”
***
By the time Elder Mocang arrived at Cheng Han's residence, it was already night.
Light spilled from the windows of Cheng Han's room. Standing outside the door, Elder Mocang could faintly hear the voices of several people talking.
He knocked on the door, and the voices inside ceased.
The door was opened by Cheng Han himself.
Under the illumination of the lamps, his complexion looked quite poor.
“Mocang? Why have you come? Is something wrong?”
Elder Mocang looked over his shoulder and saw two others in the room.
They were the people sent by the other two academies to investigate the incident involving Heng Jingchuo and Yang Jianqing.
It seemed the three of them were not having a very pleasant discussion.
Elder Mocang said hurriedly
“Dean. There is an urgent matter that needs to be brought to your attention immediately.”
Cheng Han was currently feeling extremely annoyed by these two and was unsure how to dismiss them; Elder Mocang had arrived at the perfect time.
He gave Elder Mocang a meaningful look and asked
“Is it very urgent?”
Elder Mocang understood the signal and nodded without hesitation.
Only then did Cheng Han turn back to the other two
“My apologies, gentlemen. It seems we can only call it a day here.”
The two men were well aware that Cheng Han was trying to evade them, but they couldn't call him out to his face, so they rose to take their leave.
Once they had all departed, Cheng Han invited Elder Mocang into the room and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Elder Mocang asked tentatively
“Dean, it seems things are not progressing very smoothly?”
Cheng Han was incredibly frustrated
“Yang Jianqing and Heng Jingchuo are both dead, and not even their corpses were left behind. Where am I supposed to find clues?! Now they have even followed us to the academy, yet they still haven't found anything! Because they can't find anything, they claim I am secretly shielding them!”
Cheng Han also felt he was being wronged!
But since the matter had blown up to such an extent, everyone knew they were investigating, so it wasn't easy to simply kick them out.
He rubbed his temples
“Forget it, let's not talk about that. What did you come here for?”
By the time Elder Mocang had walked all this way, most of his anger had subsided, turning instead into unease and anxiety.
Before coming, he had been rehearsing in his mind, imagining how he should tell the Dean.
Whether it was the Dean or their Taiyan Academy, they had already suffered too much at the hands of Chu Liuyue.
This matter would only be adding insult to injury!
After deliberating for a long time, he finally chose to tell the whole truth.
“Chu Liuyue is in the Library Pavilion. She has opened an Earth Grade martial technique...”
The expression on Cheng Han's face froze instantly.
Elder Mocang had already anticipated this reaction, so he tried to persuade him
“Dean, there is no need to worry yet—”
“Which one did she find?!”
Cheng Han asked with a hint of urgency.
Elder Mocang recalled it and said
“It seemed to be the God-Shocking Finger? This technique is Earth Grade, Lower—”
*Clatter—Bang!*
Cheng Han rose abruptly, his chair crashing to the floor!
He lunged forward and grabbed Elder Mocang by the collar
“What did you say?!”
Elder Mocang struggled to repeat the details.
“...Lower... Lower stage. Fortunately, she has stopped to focus on studying this one, Dean, you...”
*Boom!*
Cheng Han shoved him away violently!
Elder Mocang stumbled several steps and slammed into the wall.
Cheng Han's strength was immense; the impact nearly cracked his shoulder blades, yet he did not dare show even a hint of dissatisfaction.
He rubbed his shoulder, only to see Cheng Han already striding away with large, hurried steps!
“Dean!”
Startled, he hurriedly gave chase.
As he pursued, he replayed Cheng Han's reaction in his mind.
The Dean seemed exceptionally concerned about this matter...
Even if Chu Liuyue had obtained an Earth Grade martial technique, the Dean's reaction shouldn't have been quite this intense...
He frowned and quickened his pace to catch up.

Inside the Library Pavilion.
Chu Liuyue sat cross-legged.
In front of her, a book floated silently, its pages turning one by one.
Her gaze was fixed intently on the characters and diagrams within, rapidly etching them into her mind.
*God-Shocking Finger.*
Although it was only the Earth Grade, Lower Stage, it was already considered one of the best choices within this Library Pavilion.
This was a martial technique centered on finger methods.
A technique of this grade naturally could not be mastered in a short period, so Chu Liuyue planned to memorize it first and practice it seriously once she had more time later.
For ordinary practitioners, an Earth Grade martial technique might require reading it hundreds of times before they could begin to comprehend it, and thousands of times before they could achieve success in cultivation.
But Chu Liuyue was different.
She had seen far too many martial techniques of a higher order than this, so studying this would take almost no effort at all.
However, when she reached the one-third mark, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
Why was this volume of the *God-Shocking Finger* even more complex and obscure than the ones she had read before?
