nZhao Luo who was unable to decide which technique to pick out of these hundreds of techniques felt like he was in a pickle.

n'This is even harder than the challenges of the training area and the fights against Mite and Wu Yang.'

nZhao Luo thought as he looked around the shelves.

n

"Which book should I get?

"

nZhao Luo wondered as the remaining time was only 9 minutes.

nEvery book had an attractive name. Except that he wanted to try learning all of these techniques later on but he couldn't even take the books right now because of his limited points.

n

"Should I just go for

"what the rock is cooking

", maybe it could turn out to be a hidden gem?

"

nZhao Luo who was hoping for getting the best technique looked at the C rank silver book.

nThere were two reasons why Zhao Luo was still holding onto this technique name.

nFirstly, the name of this technique by some heavenly coincidence sounded very similar (same) to the slogan of his favorite wrestler.

nSecondly, Zhao Luo was feeling very biased towards the 'rock' part of the technique.

nBut still, it was hard for him to choose this technique.

nSlap!

nZhao Luo lightly clapped his face causing a slapping sound to echo around.

n

"Let's just take it.

"

nZhao Luo said with his eyes fixed on the silver 'What the Rock is Cooking' technique.

nHis hand moved closer and closer to the book.

nThen right before the moment, his hand could touch the book, Zhao Luo stopped.

n

"WAIT.

"

nA shouting shrill voice entered his ears, causing Zhao Luo to stumble back and look towards the direction where it had come from.

nA bald head entered his sight, making it entrance from behind another shelf.

n

"Senior, you..

"

nZhao Luo knew who this bald and shiny head belonged to.

nAfter a few seconds, Senior Cutie was standing before Zhao Luo.

n

"This technique won't suit you.

"

nSenior Cutie told Zhao Luo, causing him to take back his hand.

n

"Then which one should I choose?

"

nZhao Luo took a step forward and asked for the senior's advice.

nRemaining time: 8 minutes

n

"How many points do you have?

"

nSenior Cutie started looking around while questioning Zhao Luo.

nZhao Luo also followed behind him hoping that this senior cutie would recommend Zhao Luo a good technique that would suit him.

n

"I have 31 points.

"

nZhao Luo answered him.

nHis eyes moved along wherever and whichever part of the shelf Senior Cutie would look at.

nWith 5 minutes remaining and 31 points, it was getting hard for Zhao Luo to wait any longer.

n

"How did you even get so many points?

"

nListening to Zhao Luo's answer, Senior Cutie's focus was diverted.

n

"I got them by excelling in the Sect Entrance Exam.

"

nZhao Luo said proudly with a mighty voice.

nIndeed it was a thing that he could boast about to others. But the truth was 31 points were the leftover points that Zhao Luo had.

nHis total points were more than double to this, that is, 75.

n

"I see. Well, I think this will be perfect for you

", Senior Cutie nodded, and Zhao Luo could see the baldy's hand going towards a corner of the shelf.

n'Did he already find it?'

nZhao Luo wondered as he saw Senior Cutie grabbing a scroll and taking it out of the shelf.

n

"Here this will suit you well

", Senior Cutie told Zhao Luo while looking at him with a smile.

n'Hmm.'

nZhao Luo took the scroll from Senior Cutie's hand and looked at it.

n

"Why didn't I notice this one before?

"

nZhao Luo said with obviously stunned eyes.

n

"Don't worry. I was like you too.

"

nSenior Cutie patted Zhao Luo's shoulder.

nThey both were talking about the scroll.

nThe scroll in Zhao Luo's hand was a D rank but the shocking part was that it was a golden scroll.

nThat is a gold-tier technique.

nIrrelevant of its grade, this was the first golden technique he was holding in his hand.

n

"Extraordinary Breath, (D)

"

nZhao Luo read the name and was blown away by it.

n

"How extraordinary a technique with 'Extraordinary' in its name would be?

"

nZhao Luo mumbled with questioning eyes.

n

"It is a very extraordinary technique.

"

nSenior Cutie answered Zhao Luo's question without even blinking his eyes and showing an honest expression.

n

"I see, so 'very' was the answer.

"

nZhao Luo replied and looked back at the scroll in his hand.

nIf the junior elder could hear Zhao Luo's and Senior Cutie's discussion he would have bled to death.

nMoving away from their outrageous conversation Zhao Luo found himself holding back from opening the scroll.

nUnlike books, the scrolls didn't have pages that he could turn or flip.

nOnce a scroll was opened his points will be deducted which Zhao Luo wasn't sure about and he could only trust his Senior's words.

n

"You won't be disappointed.

"

nSenior added interrupting the confused state of Zhao Luo.

n'Nod.'

nZhao Luo nodded his head and opened the scroll which contained the technique 'Extraordinary Breath'.

n'Fwoo~'

nThe scroll rolled open in a split second.

nZhao Luo's points dropped down to 0.

nHis remaining 31 points were deducted instantly.

n

"Ahem

", without waiting for any further Zhao Luo started reading from the scroll.

nA warrior spends his whole life trying to get that unmatched strength by various means.

nGrabs a sword and calls himself a swordsman

nGrabs a pen and calls himself a scholarly warrior

nGrabs a wooden stick after shaving his head and calls himself a monk

nZhao Luo who was reading the short parts of the technique from the scroll stopped at this part and looked at Senior Cutie's head.

nSenior Cutie who was standing in front of Zhao Luo didn't know that Zhao Luo was comparing him to a monk.

n

"Ahem

"

nZhao Luo cleared his throat again and shook his head before continuing the scroll.

nGrabs martial arts and masters it, to become a martial warrior

nNo matter what he grabs, the end is still death

nHis road will always have a confirmed end till he grabs the forbidden

nZhao Luo stopped here and was quite confused. He looked at Senior Cutie and showed him this part. He wanted to know what type of meaning this part with 'forbidden' had.

n

"Hmm, this is simply another way to express about a warrior aiming to go against the heavens. Whenever a person is born into this world, he starts racing towards his death. No one is exempt from the fateful end of their life. This is how heavens work. But this scroll will teach you how to go against the heavens. Thus the word 'forbidden' was used here. After the other parts were used to build a whole world of warriors just to end it at their deaths.

"

nSenior Cutie's explanation was so detailed and on the point that Zhao Luo understood well what the meaning behind the last part was, that he had read.

nBut before Zhao Luo could say something in return or continue reading the scroll, the baldy opened his mouth once again.

n

"This technique is hard as no one has seen the result of this technique thus dropping out from learning this but I believe you can do it!

"

nSenior Cutie said with a mysterious smile and sharp eyes.

nZhao Luo could barely read the meaning behind the smile on the face of this senior.

nZhao Luo folded the scroll as a feeling of being betrayed crept over him.

n'No, he didn't', Zhao Luo tried to calm himself down as the smile on the face of baldy kept on growing into a mischievous grin.

n

"Why?

"

nZhao Luo asked Senior Cutie while storing the scroll in his storage space.

nThe time left was only one minute.

n

"I believe in you, that's why.

"

nSenior Cutie answered Zhao Luo's question with an unwavering voice.

nThis made Zhao Luo even angrier and he blamed himself for being a fool.

n

"Then why are you making such a disgusting expression?

"

nZhao Luo further questioned the baldy.

n

"hahahahaha....looks like I got caught. Ahhh, I have always been weak when it came to keeping a poker face.

"

nThe baldy laughed with an evil grin on his face and told Zhao Luo who was shaking his head while hearing this bull** coming out of his senior's mouth.

n

"You still haven't answered me. Why?

"

nZhao Luo asked again hoping to know the reason for being fooled by a person who had been helping him since he had entered the outer hall.

n

"It's simple. Why would I help my enemy?

"

nSenior Cutie asked as the grin on his face disappeared.

n

"I would never help my enemy either

", Zhao Luo said while looking down.

n

"See. That's how the world works...

", Senior Cutie nodded as he felt that Zhao Luo was being true to himself.

n

"But I would never betray someone's trust like this.

"

nZhao Luo interrupted the baldy.

n'Just for 31 points, he showed me his true self. Hah'

nZhao Luo scoffed at the baldy and moved towards the stairs to return to the junior elder.

nSenior Cutie felt a sharp punch landing on his face when Zhao Luo interrupted him.

n

"...

"

nHe could only watch Zhao Luo moving away from him.

nZhao Luo's back disappeared from Senior Cutie's sight as the shelves blocked his view of Zhao Luo.
