Chapter 17 Heavenly Rank Techniques Are Here, Why Don't You Learn Them?
Legendary magician!
Selwyn!
The name appeared in the Silver Academy Chronicles he had just read!
It is said that this was a legendary magician from a thousand years ago.
To be precise, he was one of the most outstanding graduates since the founding of Silver Academy. He had a level 10 affinity for mental power, a resonance between lightning and fire elements, and unparalleled magical skills among his contemporaries, reaching an unfathomable level. He was ruthless and once suppressed all illegal magicians, fallen magicians, underground societies, and evil magical organizations of that era, preventing them from showing their faces!
In addition, he trained seventeen high-ranking mages and two hundred and forty-three mid-ranking mages throughout his life, almost supporting the Silver Academy's five-hundred-year glory. His teaching notes were later known as "Selwin's Maxims," which remain a classic in magic education to this day.
Therefore, he was also known as the "Master of Blazing Thunder and Heavenly Punishment".
However, the later years of this legendary man were quite mysterious. According to the Chronicle, when Selwyn was two hundred years old, he suddenly announced that he wanted to "travel around the continent" and then disappeared without a trace.
Some say he found a way to break through the limits of lifespan and went into seclusion to continue his research, while others say he died in an accident during a forbidden experiment.
The college sent people to search for it many times, but all their efforts were in vain.
Now his journal has appeared in the most hidden corner of the Great Library, covered in dust without any protective magic, as if it has been waiting for too long.
Lorne's heart was pounding.
Even within the system's understanding, he belongs to the level of a Dao Embryo Realm Ancestor.
Could this be my destiny?
The opportunity to obtain ancient inheritance in the library, as described in the story, has finally come to me?
If this notebook contains Selwyn's life's insights... then its value is no less than that of a Heaven-Rank cultivation technique!
I have one last viewing privilege left, so I'll just redeem this book.
He didn't want to attract attention... A Heavenly Rank cultivation technique was enough to arouse everyone's covetousness, and he didn't want to be intercepted by someone else.
Lorne looked around.
Then he saw a pair of vertical pupils staring at him intently through the gap in the bookshelf behind him.
My hair stood on end!
……
Lorne took a step back, his vest damp with sweat.
Those eyes approached with elegant steps, and their true form was revealed from within the bookshelf.
A large orange cat, its tail wagging.
It was Sir Leon the Meow.
Sir Meow Leon tilted his head, his gaze lingering on "Selwyn's Last Notebook" and Lorne, a strange light flashing in his vertical pupils.
Lorne was wary; the legacy of a legendary mage was enough to arouse the covetousness of everyone, even high-ranking mages would feel greed.
Not to mention that he and this senior cat had some history of feuds.
If the cat family wanted to forcibly take this manuscript, he really wouldn't have any power to fight back.
Alas, I never expected to encounter such infighting among fellow students so soon after enrolling.
I will resolutely resist school bullying!
"Meow, I don't recommend you redeem this book." Sir Meow Leon squatted on the bookshelf, his tone somewhat strange.
Why?
While talking to stall for time, Lorne reached out and pressed the academy badge onto the protective light shield, and the notebook immediately appeared in his hand.
[Congratulations on snatching the spoils from the jaws of death! With your mortal body, you've managed to steal the true teachings of a Dao Embryo Realm patriarch from your demon brother in the Purple Mansion Realm!]
Lorne felt much more at ease; things were settled.
He opened the journal, stared intently at it, and then felt as if he had been hit hard on the head with a club.
The writing on it was completely different from ordinary writing; instead, it was a tangled mass of runes, with layers upon layers of patterns nested together. Each character seemed to contain the ultimate truth of the universe, arranged and overlapping according to some mysterious rule, forming a complex structure that was a mystery that mortals could never comprehend in their entire lives.
If you look at them a few more times, they seem to come alive, rushing wildly into the depths of your mind and recklessly invading your brain.
In a short while, he swayed and almost lost his mind.
boom!
Lorne Meng's monk's notes, the legend of the big mouth, his pupils were glazed over, and his back was already soaked with cold sweat.
What is recorded in this? Why did I almost faint after just one glance?
Then Sir Leon's loud laughter rang out from behind:
"Hahaha, you brat, the academy put Senior Selwyn's notes here to give you daydreaming freshmen your first lesson of the semester: don't be so ambitious, young people."
"Senior Selwyn is a legendary magician. His magical insights have touched upon the deepest levels of magical mysteries. Every word he wrote carries the truth of magic. Even advanced magic students would need to meditate for half a day before reading this notebook. How could a blank slate like you, without any enlightenment, possibly comprehend it?"
It grinned mischievously, clearly intending to tease Lorne by not giving him a heads-up beforehand.
"Damn stinky cat..."
I'll definitely teach it a lesson when I get the chance.
Lorne, panting heavily, opened the box again, still not believing it, and felt another wave of dizziness and headache.
The manuscript is filled with interwoven characters and images; a cluster of rising flames contains inverted water droplets; a bolt of lightning splits its own shadow; and a shattered tower is rebuilt under the moonlight…
Each picture is like a refined moment from an ancient legend, containing the knowledge of an era.
He was about to explode if he looked at it any longer... He gave up on his plan to force himself to read it.
"Shouldn't the academy protect this precious magical knowledge properly? Even freshmen can read it at will." He asked, rubbing his temples.
"Tch, do you think Silver Academy is like those magical families, afraid that their secrets will be leaked? Please, this is a magic academy, a place for teaching and imparting knowledge. All magical knowledge is supposed to be public, so why would they keep it hidden from their own students?"
It flicked its fluffy tail and pointed to the top of the bookshelf:
"These are the life experiences and insights of legendary and high-ranking mages throughout history. Anyone in the academy is entitled to borrow them, provided that you can understand them."
Lorne looked up.
