System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

"Spells?"

Chen Xuan didn't pay much attention at first. After all, he was in the Trial Hall to select a successor and find a master. He naturally planned to make a name for himself through swordsmanship in such an important matter.

As for magic, it was initially only a secondary consideration in his mind.

However, when he casually flipped through a few pages and glanced at the content, Chen Xuan's eyes instantly lit up, and he couldn't help but feel delighted.

"A gust of wind, a stream of dark water, a bolt of lightning, a blazing fire, and a shower of rain?" Chen Xuan murmured, his voice tinged with barely suppressed excitement.

"Wait, the first page of this method introduces that the Five Minor Secret Techniques can be presented as spells or integrated into any other Dao. If that's the case... why don't I study the spells in these Five Minor Secret Techniques and integrate them into my sword Dao?" Thoughts flashed through Chen Xuan's mind like lightning. This sudden inspiration was like a ray of dawn, illuminating his previous confusion and dilemma regarding the choice of inheritance.

Many miracles are born from a sudden flash of inspiration. This was the case for Chen Xuan at this moment.

Once he had made up his mind about this idea, he immediately sat down cross-legged without hesitation and began to carefully comprehend and deduce it with full concentration.

"I have already reached the Dao Realm level in terms of the Swift Wind Dao, I can replace the Yin Water Dao with my Gentle Water Dao, I can replace the Crimson Fire Dao with my True Fire Dao, I can replace the Thunderbolt Dao with my Lightning Dao, as for the Rain Water Dao..." Chen Xuan frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and then shook his head helplessly, saying, "Finding substitutes for the four is already the best result."

Having made up his mind, Chen Xuan picked up the "Minor Five Secret Techniques" with satisfaction and steadily walked downstairs.

At this moment, Wang Kaixuan was slumped weakly on the white jade floor on the first floor, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, trying to regulate his breathing.

His face was slightly pale and bloodless, which showed how much mental and physical strain he had taken from comprehending such a massive amount of knowledge at the same time.

Chen Xuan waited quietly for half an hour. During this time, the light of the North Sea Night Pearl on the dome gradually dimmed until the boy slowly woke up.

"Finally awake." Chen Xuan smiled slightly, a hint of teasing in his voice, as he saw Wang Kaixuan, who looked utterly exhausted, wake up.

"You, you're a freak. If I had divine sense, I could do it just as easily as you. What a pity." Although Wang Kaixuan was full of resentment, his hands moved without hesitation. With a flip of his hand, a magic manual appeared in his palm.

"Found it?" Chen Xuan asked softly upon seeing this.

"Mm." Wang Kaixuan nodded slightly.

“I have also found a lineage that suits me. In that case, let’s go out. It’s about time.”

Chen Xuan looked up at the increasingly dim luminous pearl, a strange premonition rising in his heart.

Although the guardian did not explicitly state it, both of them had a strong feeling that if they did not leave before the luminous pearl completely dimmed, they would probably be forcibly moved out of the main hall.

As expected, the heavy stone door seemed to be able to keenly sense the approach of Chen Xuan and his companion. As soon as they stopped, the stone door slowly opened automatically, emitting a low creaking sound.

The two entered the Trial Hall at the crack of dawn and stayed there for a full day, thoroughly browsing through various methods and lineages.

The tall, thin, white-haired old man guarding the Trial Hall was full of praise when he saw that the two youngsters actually came out right on time. He smiled with satisfaction and said, "In the past, most new disciples would come out after one or two hours."

"You two are quite clever and insightful. Knowing the time limit, you tried your best to read through various classics in one day to increase your knowledge."

Having their thoughts read aloud by the protector, Chen Xuan and Wang Kaixuan exchanged a smile, but remained silent and said nothing more.
