The hierarchy of Combat Skills and Techniques was something Xu Fan had never heard of before, as he never had the qualification.

Now, with Elder Wang's help, Xu Fan finally understood the classification of the hierarchy of Combat Skills and Techniques.

There are countless Combat Skills and Techniques, and no force has ever been able to list and summarize all the Combat Skills and Techniques in the world. Generally, Mysterious Rank Combat Skills and Techniques, when cultivated to Mahayana, can cleave mountains and crack stones with infinite power. As for Earth Rank Combat Skills and Techniques, when cultivated to Mahayana, they can sever rivers and break seas, far more powerful than the Mysterious Rank.

As for Heaven Rank, it only exists in legends. Even Elder Wang has never seen or even heard of anyone possessing Heaven Rank Combat Skills and Techniques.

Xu Fan felt his blood boiling as he secretly pondered the rank of his Dragon Elephant Art and Incarnation Technique. The Dragon Elephant Art was something Xu Fan acquired in the Dongying underground tomb, and the fact that it could be placed alongside the Seven Treasures Relic and Mo Family Mechanical Techniques means it is naturally no ordinary thing. Xu Fan was currently only at the Peak of the Entering Dao Realm, yet the speed and power advantage brought by the Dragon Elephant Art allowed him to rival experts at the Middle Stage of the Vajra Realm!

Xu Fan speculated that the Dragon Elephant Art was most likely Earth Rank!

The Incarnation Technique, on the other hand, was obtained from Marquis Harden of the Western Dark Forces. Not only could it cultivate avatars—such a Combat Skill is simply astonishing—it must not be lower than Earth Rank!

Interestingly, the Incarnation Technique's content is entirely in ancient text, likely passed down from the Eastern region! Marquis Harden had far from fully comprehended this Combat Skill!

The only regret is that this Combat Skill demands very high requirements. Not only must one's Cultivation Level reach at least the Zhiwei Realm to even touch the threshold, but it also requires extensive time, effort, and materials, which Xu Fan currently cannot afford to cultivate.

At this time, Elder Wang, having explained the hierarchy of Combat Skills and Techniques to Xu Fan, then took out four ancient books from a small box, displaying them before Xu Fan.

"Young Xu, although I admire you, rules are rules. You may freely choose to cultivate from these Combat Skills and Techniques, but you must do so in the Book Depository and cannot take the Combat Skills and Techniques out."

Xu Fan nodded and fixed his gaze on the four ancient books.

Of the four ancient books, two were Cultivation Techniques and two were Combat Skills. Since Xu Fan had already cultivated the Dragon Elephant Art, he naturally wouldn't spend effort cultivating other Mysterious Rank Cultivation Techniques, so he merely glanced at the two Cultivation Techniques and focused on the two Mysterious Rank Combat Skills.

The two Combat Skills were Luo Yan Step and Sky Splitting Seven Styles. Xu Fan's eyes widened slightly, unable to look away from the two Combat Skills.

Xu Fan's greatest reliance was his Divine Sense, but after a battle with the Elder, his Divine Sense within his Spiritual Platform was completely consumed and could no longer be used to fight. Currently, Xu Fan was being watched closely by four old men of the Zhiwei Realm. Even if he could use Divine Sense to fight again, Xu Fan dared not reveal it at all.

Without Divine Sense, Xu Fan's greatest reliance, besides his Golden Right Eye, was the speed of the Dragon Elephant Art. After all, Xu Fan's current level was already quite high, and most of his enemies were at least in the Vajra Realm Peak. The Ice Energy's erosion and freezing effect had become very minimal.

The remaining Mechanical Techniques, Gu Art, and Jade Silkworm could all only exert their miraculous effects under specific conditions. Thus, Xu Fan's current combat style was highly singular—simply relying on the Golden Right Eye to identify enemy weak points and then using the speed of the Dragon Elephant Art to crush them.

However, faced with true experts, such as those who had cultivated Earth Rank Combat Skills and Techniques, Xu Fan would feel powerless.

This was also why Xu Fan went straight to the Book Depository—he was in urgent need of some Combat Skills to enhance his strength!

At this time, Xu Fan suppressed the fire in his heart and calmly said to Elder Wang, "Elder Wang, I want to cultivate both Combat Skills."

From the name, Luo Yan Step was obviously a Combat Skill that enhances speed and stepping techniques—although Xu Fan's speed was fast, continually using Dragon Elephant Art consumed too much Spiritual Power, and his footwork was too crude, just merely increasing speed.

As for Sky Splitting Seven Styles, Xu Fan had previously cultivated a simplified version. Its fighting style was open and close, immensely vigorous, and aligned with the characteristics of the Dragon Elephant Art. However, since the previously cultivated version was simplified, with its essence erased, Xu Fan had been too lazy to use it.

Therefore, Luo Yan Step, a Combat Skill focusing on movement technique, and the complete version of Sky Splitting Seven Styles were something Xu Fan didn't want to miss.

"Young Xu, don't say I didn't warn you. It usually takes ordinary people decades to fully comprehend a Mysterious Rank Combat Skill, and so-called geniuses might still need months to reach a minor success stage."

"The grand competition is in a month, and focusing on two at once could end up being a case of biting off more than you can chew and wasting time..."

Elder Wang's words were not mere nonsense. The higher the rank of Combat Skills and Techniques, the more exquisite and complex they are, requiring more time to cultivate; those with poor comprehension might not gain anything even after years of endeavor, and this is not uncommon.

However, Xu Fan's attitude was exceptionally resolute, showing a determination not to stop short of the abyss. Elder Wang shook his head, holding a trace of disdain toward Xu Fan in his heart, yet his face always bore a benevolent smile.

"Since you insist, I naturally won't stop you. So, choose one to cultivate first. Once you reach a minor success with it, I will give you the second one. Otherwise, if you delay the grand competition in a month, wouldn't it be troublesome?"

As a seasoned Zhiwei Realm expert, Elder Wang's vision was naturally far beyond Xu Fan's.

In fact, Elder Wang didn't care how many Combat Skills Xu Fan cultivated, as long as it didn't delay the grand competition, or Xu Fan's breakthrough to a Top Grade Vajra Realm, only to be devoured by Elder Mu; everything else was trivial.

Xu Fan had already seen the fleeting trace of disdain in Elder Wang's eyes but cursed the old fool inwardly while continuously thanking him outwardly before choosing Sky Splitting Seven Styles and entering a vacant room to start his secluded cultivation.

Watching Xu Fan depart, Elder Wang leisurely picked up a cup of tea, and the kindness on his face faded, replaced with obvious ridicule.

In cultivating Combat Skills, the most important thing is not comprehension but compatibility. Sky Splitting Seven Styles, with its mighty momentum, requires the cultivator to have an unstoppable spirit and even a willingness to tear the heavens! And Xu Fan precisely possessed such spirit.

Moreover, Sky Splitting Seven Styles had already been cultivated by Xu Fan before, and now it was merely about comprehending some essence. Within just over an hour, Xu Fan completely grasped Sky Splitting Seven Styles, and a soaring momentum suddenly surged from within him, as if it would tear the sky apart.

Bang!

Outside the room, the teacup in Elder Wang's hand shattered with a bang.
