In the courtyard, Su Chen stood upright. One of his hands was releasing Thunderous Flames, while
the other hand was covered in Ice Crystal Frost. The two types of skills were not related to each
other, and were completely under Su Chen's control.
"Ding! Mission failed."
"Ding! Today's mission: Take The Ninth Princess hostage and escape from Chu Chu. Mission
completion will reward 10 Skill Points."
Hearing the System's cold voice, Su Chen couldn't help but want to laugh.
"System, oh System, why do I feel like you're not on the right path at all? How can you give out
such a mission? Do you think I'm stupid? Why would I run away with you instead of being the
Grand Tutor? And you're only giving me 10 Skill Points? Do you think I'm a beggar? "
Su Chen almost laughed out loud. This system was really unlucky to have met a host with such
heaven-defying luck like him. It was completely a decoration.
The System was silent.
It seemed to feel that its mission was a little silly, but what else could it do? Su Chen had millions of
Skill Points and didn't care about it at all. The rules also restricted it from punishing Su Chen. As
long as Su Chen was determined to ignore it, there was nothing it could do.
Aggrieved …
If the System had self-consciousness, it might have given Su Chen an intense electric baptism
regardless of the rules.
However, it was only a System and couldn't gain self-consciousness. It could only do things
according to the rules.
Su Chen naturally didn't care about the mission. 10 Skill Points weren't enough to fill the gaps
between his teeth. It was better to continue being his carefree Grand Tutor.
In the afternoon, Emperor Chu Tianming came to the Danqing Palace again and brought a large
number of rare treasures for Su Chen. His intention to curry favor with him couldn't be more
obvious.
Su Chen also fell for it. He thought that if he unified all the countries in the future, he could still give
the Chu family a title of nobility or something.
Night fell.
Su Chen took a comfortable bath and laid on the soft bed. It was his first good night's sleep in a
year.
The next day, Su Chen asked Huang Zhan to accompany him to the Imperial Scripture Pavilion.
"Greetings, Grand Tutor." The guards at the door hurriedly made way for him.
The news of Su Chen becoming the State Preceptor had already spread throughout the palace.
The State Preceptor's status in the country was extremely high. Even the current Grand Chancellor
had to be courteous when meeting him. Even though only the children of the royal family were
qualified to enter the Scripture Pavilion, no one dared to stop him.
Moreover, Su Chen had a Heaven Stage expert by his side.
Entering the Scripture Pavilion, Su Chen discovered that although the area was not small, it was
very spacious. There were not as many secret manuals as he had imagined.
That's right, most of the martial arts manuals are controlled by those powerful sects and holy lands.
Chu Country is just a small country in the secular world after all. They don't even have many
Heaven Realm experts, so how many martial arts manuals can they have?
Long Province's Scripture Pavilion was even more shabby.
Huang Zhan stepped forward and led Su Chen directly to the second floor. This was where the
Earth Stage and Heaven Stage secret manuals were stored.
"You stay here and guard it. I'll go in alone."
Su Chen didn't let Huang Zhan continue to follow him. He entered the Scripture Pavilion on the
second floor alone.
This place was even more spacious. There were only three secret manuals in total. Two of them
were Earth Stage secret manuals. They were considered the national treasures of Chu. There was
also a Heaven Stage secret manual. It was called the Great Primordial Technique. In fact, it was the
same as Long Province's Sun Dragon Art. It was passed down from ancient times and was incomplete. It was not suitable for cultivation.
Of course, this was not a problem for Su Chen at all.
He flipped open the Great Primordial Chaos Mystic Technique and started reading.
Although this secret manual was incomplete, just by looking at the beginning, Su Chen felt that it
was incomparably mysterious. It was even more complicated than the Sun Dragon Art.
Fortunately, Su Chen didn't need to spend too much effort to learn it. He only needed to look
through it once to obtain the skill.
After looking at it for about half an hour, Su Chen's head was about to explode. Finally, a system
notification came.
"Ding … congratulations to host for learning the Heaven Stage secret manual, Great Primordial
Technique."
Su Chen immediately put down the secret manual and entered the system interface. He found the
Great Primordial Technique in the skill library.
The Great Primordial Technique was similar to the Sun Dragon Art. It had 100 levels from the start.
Moreover, it required more skill points to level up than the Sun Dragon Art. It required 3 skill points
to level up.
"It's just 300 skill points. Max it out." Su Chen was very rich. He didn't even blink as he raised the
Great Primordial Technique to 100 levels.
Just like the Sun Dragon Art, the Great Primordial Technique could be upgraded after max level. It
required 3,000 skill points to do so.
"Ding … 3,000 skill points have been consumed. The Great Primordial Technique has been
upgraded to the Art of Primordial Nature."
"Ding … host's current realm is insufficient. Unable to upgrade the Art of Primordial Nature."
Su Chen sat down cross-legged and began to slowly circulate the Art of Primordial Nature.
After a full cycle, Su Chen had a rough understanding of the secret manual's uses.
It was different from the Dragon Blood Tyrant Body Art's powerful offensive skills. The Art of
Primordial Nature was a powerful defensive skill.
Primordial Qi was a type of void energy. This kind of energy could be extracted from space and
condensed around one's body using the Ten Thousand Mammoths Gravity to form a spatial barrier.
Su Chen immediately circulated the Primordial Chaos Qi and soon felt that the space around him
seemed to have become viscous. The space seemed to be constantly compressed, pressing into a
feather coat as thin as a cicada's wing that covered his entire body.
Under the protection of this spatial barrier, Su Chen's defense had skyrocketed. Not to mention a
Profound Realm expert, even an Earth Realm expert would find it hard to harm him.
The Art of Primordial Nature also had an advantage. When it was activated, it didn't consume Su
Chen's spirit energy.
It completely borrowed the power of the outside world to form a defense. It was an external support skill that could be activated 24 hours a day.
"This is a good life-saving skill. I've profited."
The Dragon Blood Tyrant Body Art combined with the Art of Primordial Nature was an attack and a
defense skill.
Su Chen could probably fight a Profound Realm expert without any pressure. Even if he fought an
Earth Realm expert, he could at least guarantee his own safety.
There was nothing more secure than this.
There were still two Earth Realm skills left. Su Chen naturally wouldn't miss them.
"Beast Taming Art? It's actually a support skill. "
Su Chen recalled. The Chu Family's specialty was beast taming. Chu Yanran had used the Art of
Beast Taming to tame a Snowy Tiger. That Snowy Tiger was a Profound Realm top tier beast. It
was extremely powerful.
"Learn it!"
After half an hour, Su Chen finally added the Art of Beast Taming to his skill bank. He then waved
his hand and maxed it out. He then continued to level it up.
'Ding … congratulations to host for leveling up to Beginner Beast Tamer.'
'Ding … congratulations to host for leveling up to Advanced Beast Tamer.'
'Ding … congratulations to host for leveling up to Master Beast Tamer.'
'Ding … congratulations to host for leveling up to Master Beast Tamer.'
After spending thousands of skill points, Su Chen raised his Beast Taming skill to Master Beast
Tamer.
"Yet another Master Beast Tamer. Haha!" Su Chen was overjoyed.
A Master level Beast Tamer was not at all inferior to a Master level Alchemist.
A Master Beast Tamer could tame normal beasts that were two realms higher than themselves.
This meant that Su Chen could use the Beast Breeding skill to easily tame an Earth Realm beast!
Other than the Beast Taming Art, there was also an Earth-class skill called the Mysterious Eight
Sounds. It was a perception-type skill that could strengthen the five senses. It was also a very
useful skill to be able to sense the movement of the grass within a hundred meters
