nFirst Floor of the Outer Hall's Library.

nZhao Luo walked towards the first shelf on the first floor instead of going straight to the second floor.

n

"Hmm, I have one hour, so let's look around here first.

"

nZhao Luo said to himself while Senior Cutie had already advanced to the upper floor of the leaning tower.

nZhao Luo who was looking around found many books here, especially the number of scrolls that exceeded that of books.

nAt the first shelf detailed open scroll was hanging like a 'must-read' sign.

nZhao Luo stopped and read the scroll which was an instruction scroll.

n

"Scroll: Incomplete Technique

nBook: Complete Technique

"

nTwo lines were written on it to explain the difference between a rolled Scroll and a Square shaped thick book on the shelves of the first floor.

n

"Hmm, I guess I will just look for the books for now.

"

nThe first floor had the black and the bronze colored technique but only the ranks (A fo D) of black techniques were covered on the first floor while (B to D) ranks of bronze techniques could be found on some shelves.

nZhao Luo glanced at the books.

nEach book's cover showed three things.

nThe techniques name.

nIt's Color.

nIt's Grade.

nThe first shelf had foot techniques so after reading a few Zhao Luo lost his interest in them.

n'Why should I look at them?'

nZhao Luo questioned.

nHis doubt in these techniques wasn't irrelevant at all.

nFrom the start of the shelf, the names of the techniques were quite enchanting and powerful drawing Zhao Luo towards them.

nThe first technique that caught Zhao Luo's eyes was a black book.

n

"Lightning Speed, (B).

"

nThe color of the book showed that it was the lowest category foot technique but its grade wasn't the lowest.

n

"Shh.

"

nZhao Luo pulled it out from its resting place on the shelf and without waiting any further, he opened it.

nThe moment Zhao Luo opened the book his points which were 75 went down by 1, that is, now he had 74 remaining points.

n'Fwoo~'

n This foot technique is a B Grade Black Technique which is perfect for a Level two 'II' outer disciple who is suffering from Turtle feet.

n

"Turtle feet?

"

nZhao Luo wondered if he had picked up a comic book instead of a foot technique book.

nUsing this technique, you can move 1.25 faster than before. The sound of each complete movement will be like thunder. Continuous use can strain the muscles.

n To Learn: 10 points

nZhao Luo read the use of this lightning speed technique.

n

"Wow, this technique turned out to be...

"

nZhao Luo closed the book while talking about the book.

n

"Quite a joke.

"

n'Why would I use 10 points just to increase my speed by 1.25 times and a background lightning sound? Sigh, even my Half Walk is a hundred times better than this, not to mention first walk.'

nZhao Luo compared the technique that he had received from the sect leader and shook his head while moving ahead.

nAnother black book appeared in his eyes with a shocking name.

n

"Murder Walk, (A)

"

nZhao Luo stopped at this book.

nHis hand shivered as it stopped right before the book.

n'Do I read it or not?'

nZhao Luo's mind was filled with a battle of two words, Yes or No.

nIn the end, the Word Yes came out as the victor.

nThe name was so attractive to Zhao Luo that he could hold his desire to open this book back.

n'It's just 1 point.'

nZhao Luo pulled out this black book.

n

"Murder walk.

"

n'Maybe this technique will allow me to kill my enemies while taking a super fast step.'

nZhao Luo had many ideas going on in his head related to what the technique was about.

n'Fwoo~'

nZhao Luo opened the book and read the details.

nAn ability that will cure a disciple who is unable to walk backward. This technique will help you to reverse walk

nThe murder walk, this foot technique that maximizes the mesmerizing nature of a reverse walk is solely used to stun the enemy and use the gap when they are not able to defend themselves to strike them cold.

n To Learn: 15 points

nZhao Luo who had already finished reading what the technique eas about and its uses, had his mouth closed.

nHe was out of words.

n'What is this BullShit?'

nZhao Luo questioned in his mind.

n73 points remaining

n'Another point wasted, Tsk.'

nZhao Luo felt bitter as he put the book back on the shelf.

n

"Isn't this moonwalk? If I knew that this technique was a moonwalk I would have never picked it up.

"

nZhao Luo said while questioning how using a moonwalk would be helpful for him in a Battle.

n'If it was a dance battle then it would make sense.'

nZhao Luo could hear a stupid thought rising in his head.

nBut this was the Xin Sect, not some Talent Show Sect focused around their disciples having good dancing techniques.

nZhao Luo went to the next shelf but the collection was just ordinary.

n

"Bullet Fist, (C)

"

nA bronze book entered his eyes.

nThis shelf had the first technique and this was the highest level of the book that he could see on the whole shelf.

n

"The name sounds nice.

"

n

"BULLET FIST.

"

n'WHEWWW~'

nZhao Luo looked at his left and threw a fast punch while shouting the name of the ability.

nZhao Luo grabbed the book and pulled it out of the shelf.

n

"Bullet Fist.

"

nOne more glance at its name was enough to force Zhao Luo to open it.

n'Fwoo~'

nA millennium ago, what did the martial arts practitioners used when they had no weapons?

nZhao Luo stopped there and gave it a thought for a moment. This was the third technique he had opened but the first one which had started with a question.

n

"Their Limbs.

"

nZhao Luo looked at his hand and his feet.

nFor Zhao Luo, he was indeed on point thus with a smile Zhao Luo continued reading the book.

nYes, Disciple. Your thought is right. It was indeed the Fists. But fists alone don't amount to much. Thus this technique will teach you how to use your fists in the strongest way to achieve the bullet fist

n To Learn: 20 points

nZhao Luo who was now at 72 points gave it a thought.

nWhile reading the technique Zhao Luo had realized that the founder of this technique and he, didn't share the same thoughts as the founder of this technique was favoring fists while a human is born with both arms and both feet so if a person is not missing his lower limbs he will use his legs as a weapon too.

nLeaving this aside, Zhao Luo decided to learn the technique.

nHe flipped to the main page of the book while using his 20 points on this technique.

n Learn: When each part of your upper limb, the phalanges and the tendons of your hand, the joints of your arm and shoulder act as one, only then a fist can match a modern weapon.

nOnce you master this technique then no normal sword or any other weapon practitioner will be able to stop your fist with his weapon. Just like a dragon's ascend can not be stopped by the heavenly skies, your fist will rise

n

"Interesting.

"

nZhao Luo was quite impressed by the content of this bronze (C) grade technique, Bullet Fist.

nThe details of the page ended there. Unfortunately, Zhao Luo couldn't learn it right away as he didn't turn to the next page.

n'Ah, I don't have much time.'

nWhile saying this Zhao Luo stored this book in his storage.

nHurrying his steps, he looked around different shelves on the first floor.

nMany Bronze Techniques entered his sight.

nRanging from the B rank to D rank, different techniques for movement followed by attacking techniques which used fist and kick as the attacking weapon then other Weapon technique, and lastly defense techniques, not one these techniques on the different shelves riled Zhao Luo so much that he would pick them.

n

"Barging Wave Kick, (D)

"

n

"Flying spear, (B)

"

n

"Wonderous Fist, (C)

"

n

"Hairless Defense, (B)

"

nZhao Luo remembered a few of them as they all had very addicting names.

nHe didn't use a spear as he had two weapons which were his swords, Ifrit and Blackey.

nBut if there was a flying sword technique among these techniques then Zhao Luo would have taken it.

nZhao Luo wanted the kick technique but he had already selected a fist technique so he dropped that idea too.

nThe same went for the 'Wonderous Fist'.

n

"Hairless Defense.

"

nZhao Luo repeated this name of a B rank defense technique.

n

"From the name, I think it will suit Brot- Senior Cutie more than me.

"

nZhao Luo couldn't call the bald guy 'brother' just cause Senior never acted like one.

nAs for the defense technique, it indeed suited Senior Cutie more as both had hairless qualities.

nWith a grin on his face, Zhao Luo went towards the stairs and advanced to the second floor.

nRemaining points: 52 points

nRemaining Time: 33 minutes

n'Tap'

nZhao Luo climbed the stairs to the second floor of the library in the leaning tower.

n

"Hopefully there are some good silver techniques for me to learn.

"

nZhao Luo wished as a bad memory surfaced in his mind.

n
