"By the way..."

After returning here, Mu Jinyu thought of that problem again.

He had destroyed that combat puppet; should he compensate for it?

Earlier, when he was fighting with Wei Qiankun, Wei Qiankun had said that if he could prove his strength far exceeded expectations, he wouldn't have to compensate.

But even after their battle ended, Wei Qiankun never gave him an answer to this question.

Does he have to compensate or not?

"Forget it, maybe I don't have to..."

Mu Jinyu thought with a headache, and since he had proven himself to Wei Qiankun, if someone still came asking for compensation, he would just go find Wei Qiankun.

He shook his head slightly, stopped dwelling on the issue, and turned around to quickly leave the training room.

"Oh, you're back again..."

When Mu Jinyu reached the hall of the Cultivation Area, the mentor saw him come out, looked at him with surprise, made a comment, and said nothing more.

Mu Jinyu nodded to him and quickly left the area.

"Phew..."

After exiting the cultivation hall, Mu Jinyu took a long breath.

Thinking to himself, without a complete guarantee from Wei Qiankun, he always felt somewhat embarrassed and guilty when facing this mentor.

Walking out of the Cultivation Room area, Mu Jinyu regained his confidence, held his head high, and walked with a spring in his step.

Soon, after winding around, he arrived at the entrance of the Scripture Pavilion.

Then he stepped inside.

Because he wanted to look at more Secret Manuals and gain some insights.

After entering the Scripture Pavilion, Mu Jinyu did not head straight to the Human Race section but casually picked up a jade slip from beside a bookshelf and observed it with his brow against it.

While watching, he glanced at the label hanging on the shelf.

"Feathered Transformation Clan!"

This clan seemed to be ranked in the top one to two hundred or so among species.

Quite reputable.

Thinking this way, Mu Jinyu's Divine Sense immersed into the jade slip.

"Screech!!"

As his Divine Sense entered the jade slip, he immediately heard a sharp, earsplitting scream that seemed to pierce through the clouds.

Then he saw on the azure sky, a strange person with a human body and a bird's head, with six wings on their back, performing techniques!

"Whiz whiz!!"

In an instant, this member of the Feathered Transformation Clan vigorously flapped the wings on his back, and at once feathers of various colors fell off, accompanied by dazzling divine light, shooting forward like arrows!

"Boom!!"

In front was a giant bearing a mountain on his back and holding a pagoda in his hand. Facing the attack of the Feathered Transformation Clan member, he suddenly lifted his body, raising the mountain, which collided with the raining feathers.

Amid a fierce roar, the mountain was finally crushed to powder.

And the giant was shredded by the transformed whirlwind of feathers...

"Splash!"

After watching this scene, Mu Jinyu's Divine Sense automatically withdrew from the jade slip.

Because the previous scene he watched only showed the power and form of this Divine Skill. To learn the teaching methods and core techniques, he would have to spend academic credits to view them.

However, that was necessary for Beginner Students and even Intermediate Students.

After Mu Jinyu became a Senior Student, the Cultivation Technique Manuals in the Scripture Pavilion could essentially be viewed freely.

Except for a very few particularly special or dangerous Secret Manuals, which required confirmation from the Mansion Master before viewing.

For the most part, he could view them at will.

However, after watching the scene of this Divine Skill, Mu Jinyu lost interest.

He didn't possess the Exotic Blood of the Feathered Transformation Clan, so he could only gain some insight from the technique.

But he had no feathers, so how could he gain insight?

Thus, Mu Jinyu stopped randomly browsing the jade slips of Secret Manuals.

After all, many Divine Skills of the Foreign Races were indeed hard to draw parallels from.

He focused on viewing the Divine Skills of human-like Foreign Races.

Like the War Clan, Fighting Spirit Tribe, and other species!

After watching for a while, Mu Jinyu felt he had gained a lot.

Eventually, he decided to visit the Human Race section again to see some Cultivation Manuals he hadn't viewed before.

Arriving at the Human Race section,

Mu Jinyu picked up a few jade slips, immersed his Divine Sense into them, and began to watch carefully.

Then, he selected a few targets and swiped his Identity Plaque, unlocking the restrictions on the jade slips without paying academic credits, allowing for unrestricted viewing.

He studied all the way until noon.

"What are you doing?"

At this moment, Ji Wudao suddenly appeared, standing beside Mu Jinyu, curiously asking.

Upon seeing the old man appear, Mu Jinyu's expression lit up with excitement. He smiled and said, "I realized that the Divine Skills and techniques I know are too few, so I came here to see if there might be any Secret Manuals suitable for me to learn a few more moves..."

Hearing Mu Jinyu's answer, Ji Wudao furrowed his brows and said, "What's so good about these Secret Manuals? Divine Skills and Techniques should focus on quality, not quantity. Moreover, they are created by predecessors and most suited to their Divine Skills, which may not necessarily suit us. There's no need to learn them directly! Just observing is enough..."

As he spoke, he looked at Mu Jinyu, earnestly advising, "Aren't the few self-created moves you have quite excellent? Their power is sufficient, and others can't learn them. Why bother learning these useless Divine Skills?"

Listening to Ji Wudao's advice, Mu Jinyu deeply agreed, as it indeed seemed to be the case.

However...

Mu Jinyu slightly shook his head and said, "Some of the few Divine Skills I've created are indeed not bad and can be improved continuously, but in the end, the number is still too few, only two or three!"

"Initially, I thought it was enough, but not long ago, when I challenged the top three Senior Students, I found myself unable to deal with them using several of my Divine Skills. Fortunately, I suddenly conceived a Divine Skill during the battle, which I then created to barely defeat the first one..."

"But I don't think I can always rely on such good luck in the future; I should be better prepared before battles. So I came to see if there's anything suitable, even if not directly useful for Cultivation, it might inspire me to create a new Divine Skill..."

Saying this, Mu Jinyu slightly shook his head, regretfully saying, "But there isn't. I've been here half the day, seeing many interesting Divine Skills, but none truly suitable for me..."

After listening to Mu Jinyu, Ji Wudao slightly nodded, then furrowed his brows again, giving Mu Jinyu a look full of meaning, saying, "I think you, kid, find these Secret Manuals inadequate and want something good from me, right?"

"Hehe..."

Hearing Ji Wudao's words, Mu Jinyu couldn't help but laugh out loud, then quickly put on a straight face, shaking his head, saying, "No, I didn't mean it that way..."

"I just feel regretful because of my reflections." Mu Jinyu shook his head in denial.

"Never mind, if you feel that these Secret Manuals can't provide you with inspiration to create suitable Divine Skills, then I'll teach you a few of my Divine Skills and techniques, and see if it gives you any insights!"
