Bab 3: Library of Heaven's Path Chapter 11-20

Sun was already setting and ZX felt hopeless for recruiting more students now. Today was the last day for recruitment too. ZX decided to cultivate in his personal dormitory, which was extremely humid and even mold was growing on his bed showing the pitiful life of original Zhang Xuan. Although library can help him beat opponents through mingmen and flaws in their body, movements and techniques but still if the gap in cultivation levels is too high then he won't survive for sure. So his first priority is growing stronger. After cultivating for unknown period of time he felt that the common cultivation technique known by original Zhang Xuan is very slow. Zhang Xuan got an idea and he took out the book of his own cultivation technique from his room named as 'Hongtian Nine Dan Formula'. He touched it and flipped through it and as expected a new book in his Heavenly Library was formed with same title which showed over 1000 flaws in this technique. As a teacher he had few more cultivation books but flaws in them were over 3000. He was at peak of Fighter 3 dan so needed just little bit correction in his technique to breakthrough so he decided to correct only crucial flaws related to reaching next realm in his own technique only, as it was impossible for him to read 1000 flaws and then even think of methods to correct them too. He compared flaws with other techniques and started writing down the correct things on a paper. He grabbed his handwritten book and flipped through it. This created its replica in his library which showed only one flaw. He researched more and corrected that flaw as well and thus created a new cultivation technique which was perfect for Fighter 3 dan realm. He started practicing the method too and immediately entered Fighter 4 dan Pigu realm and it took him only 3 minutes. Purity of zhenqi absorbed by him is very pure like a spring water too which seemed to be of superior quality which can be acquired only by God or Saint Cultivation Techniques. ZX was very happy to know new usages of his library. Now his next target is Teacher Compendium Pavilion so that he can gather some books on Fighter 4 dan cultivation realm. He arrived there and bowed to an elder there named as 'Elder Mo', who is one of the guardian of this pavilion. He is ranked in top experts in terms of strength in whole academy. Elder Mo praised ZX for reaching Fighter 4 dan. Soon sound of flipping page filled entire room and this generated a bad reputation for ZX in heart of Elder Mo as this man is really reckless and instead of reading books slowly he is impatiently flipping through them. Not only this he is not reading manual for his own cultivation technique but all kinds of other techniques. In two hours ZX copied thousands of books from pavilion to heavenly library. Elder Mo was pissed off by seeing that this guy is not even copying any notes from what he studied and disdained ZX now even more. ZX came back to his dormitory and took out a pen and paper and started writing correct portions from various books. He was tired soon and thought that there should be some way to hasten his pace. Suddenly his library shook and all thousand books fused as one. The new book has no name but it was flawless. ZX named the book as 'Heaven's Path Divine Art'. He started cultivating according to this new technique. And within few hours he reached Fighter 5 dan Dingli. The cultivators in this realms generally possess a power of 1 Ding in primary realm. He tested on pillar and was surprised to see 5 ding strength behind his punch. Normally 4 dings of strength is there with Pinnacle of Dingli Realm but he surpasses that even in primary stage. He thought reason for this to be either Heaven's Path Divine Art or his superior Zhenqi. There were only few esteemed teachers who has reached Dingli realm in Hongtian academy. It's not too late and pavilion shouldn't have closed thought ZX and then he dashed towards Teacher's Compendium Pavilion to search for Fighter 5 dan cultivation manuals. Elder Mo was surprised to see this fellow again. ZX expressed his desire to read Fighter 5 dan cultivation manuals this time. He didn't revealed his new cultivation or he can be treated as lab rat by the experts here once they know that he can instantly level up. He even made an excuse that he failed to answer question related to Fighter 5 dan cultivation level from a parent of his student that's why he need to study those manuals. Elder Mo gave him directions for the room with cultivation manuals of Fighter 5 dan. He noticed that availability of books is getting lower in pavilion as per levels like there were around 3000 to 4000 books for Fighter 3 dan and 4 dan but now its just 1000 books available there. And there were no books for Fighter 6 dan at all in this pavilion. Flipping session started and ended for books there. He went to dormitory again and fused all books and compiled Heaven's Path Divine Art from this book for Fighter 5 dan too. He started cultivating and increased his sub-realms really fast - Primary, Intermediate, Advanced and Pinnacle within four hours. He tested his strength on rock pillar and found it to be 8 ding this time which is generally found in Fighter 6-dan expert who has opened four acupoints. He decided to eat something before sleeping but suddenly he heard some suspicious movements in his room. Due to his increased realm his hearing and vision has improved. He covered his face so that the other party doesn't recognize him. Someone in black clothing was carrying sharp dagger and murmuring to himself something about her young mistress. Voice sounded familiar to ZX. ZX can confirm that he is here to kill him. He thanked himself for not sleeping or he won't have woken up tomorrow. Suddenly that man shouted, "Who is it?" ZX blamed himself for being inexperienced in tracking others. He was about to show himself but suddenly an idea struck his mind and he shouted, "I am here to kill Zhang Xuan, that useless teacher! Who are you?" They started in idle chatter to try to figure out each other's identities. The man in black revealed that he is here to punish ZX only by castrating him as he dared misbehave with his young mistress. ZX couldn't recognize him still so he urged black clothed man to take action first as he is here to murder ZX and if he murdered him first then there is no fun in castrating Zhang Xuan. Then a book formed in Heavenly Library after seeing the execution of light footwork from black clothed man which was a movement technique. And now ZX knew that his assailant is Yao Han, butler of Baiyu City Lord Residence, with cultivation level of Fighter 6 dan Pixue and eight acupoints opened. Now he remembered that this is butler of Zhao Ya one of his students. He was so angry on this black clothed man as he has explained this butler that he is innocent and even Zhao Ya admitted that she joined ZX's tutelage of her own will but still this man came here to make him eunuch. In direct combat ZX was no match for this man but he decided to attack from behind reading his mingmen in the book generated in Heaven's Library. Yao Han was sent flying towards boulder with a kick on his bottoms where he crashed with boulder head on. Then ZX sat on his body and threw couple of punches in his full anger. Yao Han didn't knew the reason why this man is hitting him but one thing is sure that he has been scammed by this masked person. Although ZX was angry but he still controlled himself and didn't killed the butler. Also not killing him will keep him low profile or otherwise City Lord may decide to investigate the murder of his butler and he may end up losing one of his student too. But if he left him alive then the only person who he will suspect for reason of this attack is naturally ZX. He decided to find a scapegoat and he also have one in his mind. It was none other than Shang Bin who tried to humiliate him in front of Shen Bi Ru. ZX intentionally declared to Yao Han that "I have a grudge with Zhang Xuan. Earlier today, he got on my nerves and so, I intended to teach him a lesson in the night! However, if he were to be castrated by you, Bi… she would definitely suspect that I am the one who did it and a misunderstanding would arise between us! Blame this all on the fact that you met me today, as well as your untimely arrival"
