Super Soldier in Campus-Chapter 778 - 783: Five Elements Escape Technique - Qingmu Escape_1

This was an indescribable, mysterious sensation. Lin Feng felt that all his senses had disappeared in the blink of an eye. It was as if all his organs had ceased to function, with only his eyesight remaining. He looked down at his body, but there was nothing at all...

Lin Feng looked at the white-bearded old man in alarm. What on earth is happening? What has happened to my body? Has this old man used some strange power to scheme against me?

"Young man, haven’t you figured it out yet?" The white-bearded old man chuckled, looking in the direction where Lin Feng had originally stood. He pointed to the ground and said lightly, "You weren’t schemed against. This is the Qingmu Escape, part of the Five Elements Escape Technique. Your body has transformed into a single blade of grass, so naturally, you can’t speak..."

My body has turned into a blade of grass? Are you kidding? You must be telling a fairy tale! Lin Feng couldn’t speak, so he subconsciously retorted in his mind. However, his gaze involuntarily followed the old man’s pointing finger. He discovered a very strangely shaped blade of grass growing there. It was lush with leaves and branches, a good thirty to forty centimeters tall, looking more like a small sapling...

"You still dare to doubt this old man’s words..." The white-bearded old man seemed to hear Lin Feng’s inner voice. Suddenly annoyed, he reached out and plucked the strange little grass up by its roots...

Lin Feng instantly sensed it, as if his whole being had returned. The sensations in all parts of his body also returned to normal, only his chest and abdomen felt a bit tight, as if bound by something...

Then, the white-bearded old man tossed the strange-looking blade of grass onto the ground...

THUMP...

"Ouch..." Lin Feng’s body materialized out of thin air, and he landed heavily on his backside, the pain making him grimace...

"Damn it... Old man, were you trying to scheme against me..." When Lin Feng found he could move again, his first reaction was to settle scores with the white-bearded old man. But, the next second, he realized—it seemed I really did just turn into a small blade of grass?!

This can’t be real... Lin Feng’s mouth fell slightly open, a look of utter disbelief on his face...

At that moment, a strange power surged out from his body like a receding tide. It flowed down his arm and back into the ancient-looking old book he held. A bizarre silver gleam flashed across the surface of the dilapidated ancient tome...

"Well, young man? You’ve just experienced the wonders of the Five Elements Escape Technique. You’re planning to buy this book, aren’t you?" The white-bearded old man looked with distress at the ancient tome in Lin Feng’s hand, his voice heavy with worry as he said, "The inducing spiritual energy in this secret manual has already been activated by you. In about ten days, it will completely lose its inducing spiritual energy. If you don’t buy it, I’ll suffer a disastrous loss!"

Lin Feng’s violent thoughts had vanished, replaced by deep curiosity. He glanced at the white-bearded old man and asked nervously, "What exactly is this inducing spiritual energy?"

The white-bearded old man glanced lightly at Lin Feng, a flicker of hesitation on his face, before he slowly said, "You haven’t yet entered the Innate Realm; you don’t even count as the lowest-level cultivator. Normally, I shouldn’t tell you much about such things. But, considering we have an affinity, I’ll make an exception and tell you a little... Inducing spiritual energy is energy within cultivation manuals. It guides readers with low comprehension in their cultivation. Every cultivation manual has, more or less, some inducing spiritual energy infused into it, much like when you buy a small electrical appliance that comes with its own battery. If this energy isn’t activated, it can be preserved for a long time. However, once activated, it usually dissipates within a few days..."

"Cultivation manuals?" Lin Feng’s expression was a bit strange. "Cultivators? Gods? Immortals?"

"See? I told you these things shouldn’t be mentioned to you; you’re already talking in your sleep..." The white-bearded old man glanced at Lin Feng, somewhat speechless, and said lightly, "How could there be any gods or immortals in this world? The so-called gods or immortals are merely more powerful cultivators. According to worldly parlance, cultivators are simply practitioners above the fifth level of Inner Strength."

"Inner Strength level five... and above..." Hearing the white-bearded old man’s explanation, Lin Feng couldn’t help but feel his mouth go dry. To date, the only expert he had met who was above the fifth level of Inner Strength was Xu Jing’s grandfather, Xu Yishan. Lin Feng had thought there wouldn’t be many such people in all of China. But now, hearing what the white-bearded old man said, it seemed there were many such people?!

Moreover, this white-bearded old man himself should also be an expert above the fifth level of Inner Strength... Lin Feng sized up the white-bearded old man with an astonished gaze. He couldn’t sense even a hint of Inner Strength aura from him at all...

Why is this? Is it because my own realm is too low, and I simply can’t see through his cultivation?

"Heh heh... You kid, you’re really interesting. With just your mortal eyes, you want to see through this old man’s cultivation? Aren’t you thinking a bit too highly of yourself..." the white-bearded old man said to Lin Feng with a chuckle. Then, he picked up another book from the stall and tossed it in front of Lin Feng. "If you want to investigate this old man’s cultivation, why don’t you try practicing this Heavenly Vision..."

"Why do you know what I’m thinking even when I don’t speak..." Lin Feng was a bit stunned as he took the ’Heavenly Vision’ book from the old man’s hand, finally unable to resist asking.

"You want to learn this trick, eh?" The white-bearded old man stroked his long beard and chuckled. "But I’m afraid it’s a bit difficult. The Mind Reading Technique is a unique secret art of my Tianji Sect. You can’t buy the manual with money. Unless you have the chance to join my sect, only then can you learn such a profound divine ability..."

So it’s Mind Reading! It really is Mind Reading! Lin Feng was finally stunned. If not for seeing the still bustling street with its streams of pedestrians behind him, he would really worry he was dreaming... This is too incredible!

However, Lin Feng was Lin Feng, after all. He had even encountered a once-in-ten-thousand-years miracle like reincarnation; his mental fortitude was naturally stronger than that of an ordinary person...

After accepting the white-bearded old man’s explanation, Lin Feng directly began to rummage through the bookstall for suitable and usable secret manuals...

As Lin Feng searched, he casually said, "Mr. Lu, I have the money... but what if I don’t have that much cash on me?"

A single Five Elements Escape Technique manual cost three million. Lin Feng couldn’t possibly carry three million around while strolling...

"Hmm... I understand your predicament. These secular banks, they just love to engage in such petty dealings. You can deposit any amount, but if you want to withdraw more than a few tens of thousands, you have to make an appointment beforehand. I understand your difficulty..." Old Man Lu chuckled. "So, I went ahead and got one of these..."

Then, as if by magic, the white-bearded old man pulled out a POS terminal from beside him...
