Chapter 558: Chapter 549: Full Level As You Wish Bone Shrinking Skill
After browsing through all the Seventy-Two Shaolin Temple Skills here.
Gathering the Seventy-Two Skills from several worlds.
Ding Ling has basically collected all the Seventy-Two Skills.
Buddha Light faintly flickered over his body.
Standing there, his dignified presence seemed to have the demeanor and grace of an Arhat.
Ding Ling continued to read the Buddhist Scripture.
Since he’s here.
It wouldn’t hurt to finish reading before finding the Sweeping Monk.
After all, the Sweeping Monk won’t leave the Scripture Pavilion.
When Ding Ling entered the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion, he noticed an old monk silently sweeping in a corner.
He was dressed in a cyan robe, with a thin physique, holding a broom, and with each sweep, the scant few long white hairs on his chin would lightly sway.
His demeanor was elegant, blending in with the dust, exuding a composed and unperturbed air.
Whether he heard the appellation given to him by Xuan Ji or not, or even if he heard it, he didn’t seem to care, appearing as if he didn’t notice Ding Ling at all.
Such a calm attitude, neither flustered nor hurried, indirectly attested to his extraordinary nature.
Ding Ling was not in a rush.
He began to quickly read the books.
Shuffling sounds!
Volume by volume, Shaolin Skills were read and quickly reached Full Level.
Apart from the Seventy-Two Shaolin Temple Skills.
The Shaolin Temple in this Celestial Dragon World also possesses an incredibly comprehensive collection of skills!
[Iron Arm Skill Full Level]
[Overlord Elbow Full Level]
[Golden Bell Shield Full Level]
[Iron Cloth Shirt Full Level]
[Lying Tiger Skill Full Level]
[Iron Knee Skill Full Level]
...
Each skill reached Full Level.
Adding to the previous dozens of Seventy-Two Shaolin Temple Skills.
Ding Ling’s aura visibly strengthened.
Although his Four-dimensional Attribute Points and True Qi had already reached the limit of this world, unable to grow further.
But the skills reaching Full Level still continuously enhanced Ding Ling’s foundation, making him more profound and substantial.
After finishing the skills, he read the Buddhist Scripture.
Thus, over a day passed.
Ding Ling read from the first floor to the third floor.
After finishing.
[Buddha Qi + 3]
[Martial Arts Melting Furnace Body Progress: 34%]
It jumped by 11 percentage points from 23%.
Admittedly.
The richness of the collection here exceeded Ding Ling’s expectations.
The number of skills, much more than any batch sent to the Imperial Study.
It can be said that Shaolin Temple in the Celestial Dragon Eight Books World not only houses hidden talents, but its rich scriptures definitely crush those of the Shaolin Temples in the Divine Eagle and The Smiling, Proud Wanderer Worlds.
The 11 percentage points increase went beyond Ding Ling’s expectations.
But it only signifies the astonishing amount of Martial Arts Secret Manuals here.
And the endless variety of skills.
Shaolin Child’s Skill, Tornado Palm, Golden Dragon Hand, Thousand-Pound Foot, Meteor Leg, Bright Fist, Bodhisattva Hand, Divine Palm Eight Strikes, Shaolin Flower-Scattering Palm, Drunken Eight Immortals Staff Technique, Dharma Eight Methods Divine Zen Staff Technique, Great Shifting Body Technique, Heart-Mind Qi Primordial Skill, Dragon-Taming and Elephant-Subduing Skill, As You Wish Bone Shrinking Skill, Supreme Demon Subduing Bead Technique...
There were many such skills.
Ding Ling mastered them all to Full Level.
It can be said.
In terms of the amount of Shaolin Ultimate Skills mastered, even if Dharma himself were resurrected, he wouldn’t surpass Ding Ling.
Despite mastering a considerable number of skills.
Ding Ling wasn’t worried about losing control, solely because two strands of Vast Righteous Qi tightly guarded his heart, warding off evil, additionally having Buddha Qi shielding him, repelling malevolence, suppressing inner desires, truly remarkable.
After finishing the books in the Scripture Pavilion.
Ding Ling approached the old monk, paid his respects, and said:
"Junior Ding Ling greets Senior."
"Unworthy of that title."
The old monk did not put down the broom in his hand, just glanced up and down at Ding Ling twice, expressing surprised admiration:
"I have lived for over eighty years. Yet, it’s the first time witnessing such a remarkable, supreme person like Your Majesty. No wonder tales circulate throughout Shaolin Temple alleging Your Majesty singlehandedly shattered four kingdoms, subduing Dali Kingdom and numerous smaller countries. I am beginning to understand."
Ding Ling was about to speak.
The old monk asked:
"The moment you set foot into the Scripture Pavilion, you noticed something peculiar about me, didn’t you?"
"Indeed."
Ding Ling candidly replied:
"Junior came primarily for Senior."
"Your Majesty, burdened with overwhelming affairs, forsake this vast kingdom, came to this Scripture Pavilion specifically to read for a whole day. It puzzles me greatly."
The old monk continued to display a calm demeanor:
"I wonder what brought Your Majesty here?"
"I wish to spar with Senior a bit."
"Is that all?"
"Indeed."
"Then I concede."
The old monk stood seven feet tall, straightened his posture, slightly raising his head to observe Ding Ling, smiling kindly:
"Your Majesty possesses a talent beyond compare, astounding throughout ages. Enough to leave anyone in awe and admiration. I am no exception. Your Majesty, over a day’s time, I observed everything you’ve done.
I saw it with my own eyes.
Learning various Divine Skill Secret Manuals instantly. Such skill and capability, I have never seen or heard of before. Leafing through ancient history, one rarely finds a person with unmatched talent like Your Majesty.
I am just a mere Sweeping Monk.
How then could I dare spar with someone as noble and supreme as Your Majesty?"
"I didn’t expect Senior to have such a silver tongue, flattering Junior."
"This is not flattery."
The old monk shook his head, solemnly stated:
"I am merely stating a fact."
He expressed admiration:
"Your Majesty’s rising Buddha Qi and mystical aura have increased tremendously within a short day. Even if I were to flatter, I couldn’t catch up; what capability do I have to compete with Your Majesty?"
"Senior, don’t belittle yourself. We’re merely exchanging skills; I hope you won’t decline."
"In that case, I shall spar with you."
The old monk, seeing Ding Ling’s resolved intention, knew refusal was futile, thus said:
"Let’s wait a bit, then spar in a secluded place. I prefer not to create too much noise leading to widespread notice."
"Naturally, I follow Senior’s guidance."
"Your Majesty esteemed as the most exalted royalty, I am merely a nameless old monk. Why does Your Majesty show such courtesy and respect? Just call me Sweeping Monk."
"Courtesy cannot be abandoned."
By saying this.
The old monk’s eyes showed a trace of kindness and emotion, evidently raising his approval of Ding Ling.
As he said.
Ding Ling, as the emperor of the Great Ming Kingdom, held an exalted position, could determine the fate of families with a word, such a figure was unexpectedly modest, gentle, and courteous, which the old monk hadn’t anticipated.
He and Ding Ling then started discussing Buddhist Techniques.
The old monk was extremely shocked that Ding Ling’s depth in Buddhist Study was something he couldn’t match.
[Acquired E-level Achievement Medal: You gained the high recognition of the Shaolin Temple’s Sweeping Monk (Li Canghai).]
[Note: The Sweeping Monk (Li Canghai) is proficient in Makeup Skill, Turtle Breath Skill, Bone Shrinking Skill, Vocalization Skill, Small Faceless Skill, Muscle-Tendon Changing Classic... She has hidden in Shaolin Temple for forty-two years, always observing the world with a peaceful and indifferent mindset.
No person, nor any event has ever disturbed her inner peace.
She had intended to continue hiding and bring this life to an end.
Unexpectedly, she met you.
Your immense talent, versatility, profound Buddhist knowledge left her stunned, shocked, and in admiration.
Amazed that such a remarkable young man exists in this world.
She originally thought the world couldn’t possibly produce another figure as talented and accomplished as her mentor, Master Xiaoyao.
Yet, your talent undeniably surpasses that of her mentor!
Reaching an unprecedented new realm.
She is exceedingly impressed and greatly admires and acknowledges you.]
A notification sound suddenly rang after conversing with the Sweeping Monk for several hours.
