Spells seen in short-term memory?

Su Chen stared at the skill effect of the small success level Green Lotus Pupils. After a moment of contemplation, a single word sprang to his mind... Steal!

That's right. Steal.

Your spells are very useful, but they will be mine in the next second!

However, using "steal" to explain the skill effect of the Six-Petal Green Lotus doesn't sound very appealing.

So, Su Chen renamed this new skill effect to a more fitting term—Stealing.

Stealing—this is Su Chen's description of the Six-Petal Green Lotus pupil's skill.

In addition to unlocking the new effect of "stealing magic," the Six-Petal Green Lotus pupils also granted significantly enhanced vision after the skill upgrade.

This would undoubtedly aid Su Chen in analyzing the Seven Killing Sword Formation later.

"But upgrading the Green Lotus Pupils is not enough. After all, this is only the first floor of the Sword Pavilion, and I have encountered such a powerful opponent."

"Even though the fifth floor has been halved, it's likely that access to the third floor remains intact, and the opponents there will be significantly stronger—likely above the foundation-building stage."

"Even if I manage to learn the sword formation on the first floor, since a sword formation cannot be executed by one person alone, my strength won't actually improve in the short term."

"So, to successfully pass this dungeon, my current cultivation still falls short."

With that thought, Su Chen focused on his cultivation, which he had neglected for a while.

[Name: Su Chen (Inner Disciple of Qingyun Sect)]

[Cultivation: 7th level of Qi Gathering Stage (7700/30000)]

[Current Experience Points: 2412]

"First, I need to raise my cultivation to the 8th level of Qi Gathering Stage, and then, once I return to reality, I'll collect the cultivation resources that Lao Chen gave me."

"With those resources as a foundation, I can cultivate the Green Lotus Pupils to the extreme state in a short period and elevate my cultivation to the peak of Qi Gathering Stage, without arousing any suspicions."

"After all, others won't know that I have just learned the Green Lotus Pupils; they'll assume I've been practicing this pupil technique for a while."

"Furthermore, with the cultivation resources from Lao Chen, the rapid improvement in my cultivation level will be easily explained."

Calm and steady, Su Chen was already preparing for how to explain his swift cultivation increase when he exited the dungeon!

One step at a time, ten steps ahead, think a hundred steps... This is Su Chen's methodical approach!

—

[You consumed 300 experience points, and your cultivation level was raised to the 'Eighth Level of Qi Gathering Stage.']

[Name: Su Chen (Inner Disciple of Qingyun Sect)]

[Cultivation Level: Eighth Level of Qi Gathering Stage (8000/30000)]

[Current Experience Points: 2112]

—

"I'll save the remaining experience points for now. I intend to cultivate Green Lotus Pupils to the extreme state within this dungeon."

"After all, to complete the foundation of the Heavenly Dao, I must cultivate three similar magical powers..."

With everything prepared, Su Chen pushed open the door of the Sword Pavilion once more, encountering the seven sword demons wandering on the first floor.

As expected, the seven sword demons launched an attack the moment they spotted him.

In response, Su Chen calmly raised the Black Dragon Sword.

"Come on, let me see your skills again."

The Seven Sword Demons wasted no time talking to Su Chen, attacking swiftly in formation.

Try?

Then you will die!

Three minutes later…

"The Seven Killing Sword Formation seems ordinary, yet it is filled with mysteries. It truly deserves to be a sword formation passed down for thousands of years at Cangjian Peak. Grasping its essence will take more than just one or two attempts..."

After a moment of thought, Su Chen lifted his head.

Looking at the slowly descending blood-colored sword—or rather, the Seven Killing Swords descending from it—his Six-Petal Green Lotus Pupil began to rotate continuously, manifesting many mysterious patterns upon its petals.

Upon closer inspection, one would find that the patterns slowly appearing on the Green Lotus petals were identical to the sword formation diagram above the Seven Sword Demon's head!

Su Chen was secretly learning the sword array!

Boom!

As the giant sword hit the ground, Su Chen's figure was once again engulfed in the violent killing intent and vanished.

The second challenge in the Sword Pavilion failed!

Summarizing his mistakes after failure and remembering the pain of death, Su Chen, now resurrected for the second time, did not rush into the next challenge but instead calmly reflected on the Seven Killing Sword Array from earlier.

In principle, the essence of the Seven Killing Sword Array is not magic.

Su Chen should not be able to copy it with the Six-Petal Green Lotus Pupil.

However, the copying ability of the Six-Petal Green Lotus was stronger than Su Chen had imagined.

The principle behind its copying involved first clarifying the trajectory of the opponent's spiritual power, then copying the specific spiritual power patterns on the petals one by one.

Ultimately, as long as the pupil's owner infused their own spiritual power into the Green Lotus Pupil, they could immediately utilize the special technique that had been copied earlier.

See the spiritual power pattern, copy the spiritual power pattern, and use the spiritual power pattern.

The combination of these three could achieve the so-called "stealing magic" effect of the Six-Petal Green Lotus Pupils.

Therefore, although Su Chen cannot perform the Seven Killing Sword Formation alone, he can observe the sword formation pattern, replicate the pattern, and learn it.

However, while the stealing ability of the Six-Petal Green Lotus Pupils is formidable, it cannot replicate every technique pattern.

If the opponent's technique demands excessive spiritual power or specific conditions must be met, the technique that Su Chen attempts to steal may only remain at the two stages of "clarity" and "copying," and cannot be directly executed.

Nevertheless, even if unable to perform, the Six-Petal Green Lotus Pupils still provide excellent auxiliary capabilities.

It significantly reduces the difficulty of Su Chen's magic learning.

Simply put, if he observes a spell in its entirety once, he can remember most of it.

And if he sees it several times...

Sorry, that magic will soon be his!

After spending an extended period at the Sword Pavilion's entrance, Su Chen paused to absorb his new knowledge of the Seven Killing Sword Formation.

It wasn't that he did not wish to continue learning, but sword formations differ from other magical techniques.

The complete sword formation still encompasses many variations.

Su Chen must witness all the changes within the sword formation before he can fully learn the true Seven Killing Sword Formation.

"I need to attempt this a few more times and observe them exhibit more changes in the sword formation to enrich my learning resources."

With that resolved, Su Chen stood up again and pushed open the door of the Sword Pavilion.

The magical thief is here to steal the magic!

The second challenge against the Seven Sword demons—failed!

The third challenge against the Seven Sword demons—failed!

The fourth, fifth...

After dying fifty times in a row, Su Chen finally recorded all the sword array patterns and their various transformations.

The reason it took so many attempts isn't that the Seven Killing Sword Array can transform more than fifty times.

Rather, the sword formations that the Seven Sword Demons sometimes employed were those Su Chen had encountered before, making them non-valuable for recording, thus necessitating a fresh start for new patterns.

This cycle continued until the tenth challenge, when Su Chen realized he could no longer elicit further formation changes from the Seven Sword Demons.

But since the skill emblem of the Seven Killing Sword Formation had not yet appeared in his mind, Su Chen recognized he might still be slightly lacking.

Thus, he deliberately challenged them ten more times.

Fortunately, after the fiftieth attempt, he finally obtained the sword formation skill he had long sought after.

[Special Skill·Seven Killing Sword Formation (Cannot be upgraded)]

[Effect: A special sword formation can be formed by seven individuals, gathering and distributing their killing intentions and sharing the damage taken.]

"If it weren't for the Six-Petal Green Lotus Pupils, I might have needed hundreds of attempts to learn this Seven Killing Sword Formation, right?"

Su Chen smiled, then pushed open the door of the Sword Pavilion once more.

This time, confidence radiated from his face.

'You can do it, and now I can too.'

'But what you can't do, I can!'

As Su Chen entered the first floor of the Sword Pavilion again, the seven sword demons rushed toward him, just like the previous fifty times.

But this time, Su Chen made a rare choice—not to draw his sword—but to stride purposefully in a specific direction.

And the destination he headed toward was the location of one of the nodes of the Killing Sword Formation!

It was evident what he intended to do.

This time, he wouldn't confront the fortress of the Seven Killing Sword Formation head-on; instead, he would infiltrate the inner sanctum of the fortress.

After all, no matter how robust the fortress may be, it cannot withstand destruction from within!

Su Chen approached that special node and severed the connection between the sword demon here and the other sword demons.

Seeing the sword demon in front of him—fear etched on its face and looking utterly lost—Su Chen smiled and said, "I have learned everything I should learn, and it's time to change this attack and defense…"
