Welcome to a story told through countless aeon; a story about a ragged boy who most would say is at the bottom of the barrel in life.

He has nothing but a tattered apartment, yet this seemingly simple and pitiful boy one day finds a book under his sofa, and although it looked like any other antique, such a book will bring him on a path beyond!

A boy who is from Earth loves martial arts. He buyes martial book and tries to cultivate and transfers to another world.

Bai Sheng discovered suddenly that this young man named Qin Fen was far more than what was shown on the information. The problem was that most of this information was collected during the Recruit Tournament. 
The information that was just collected had expired immediately? Bai Sheng's mouth opened in disbelief. Although Qin Fen has indeed reached the peak period of growth in strength, this speed was still a little too fast, right? His understanding of martial dao, as well as the star-level he possessed, was indeed out of proportion. 
However, this kind of disproportion was completely different than most other martial artists who had shown disproportion. 
A lot of martial artists would have grown too fast in strength, at a rate which exceeded their understanding of martial dao. They would ultimately stumble upon the rumored martial arts barrier in the end and would no longer be able to progress even slightly. 
Bai Sheng's mouth grew bigger and bigger with surprise. What does a disproportion indicate? For a martial artist who walked out from Sacred Martial Hall, it was extremely clear. 
It indicated that if his body had enough talent, the space of development in the future would be extremely large! In the rumors, almost all of the few divine beast level grandmasters had an understanding towards martial dao that exceeded their star-level strength. 
"Qin Fen, you have a limitless future. It is best to reconsider my previous proposal."
Bai Sheng was stern once again. The Sacred Martial Hall was not lacking in geniuses, but monsters like Qin Fen were considered a rare species. Even if he could not become a divine beast level master, if they made an accidental discovery of a Constellation titled martial artist, it would still be considered a huge merit for the Sacred Martial Hall.
Qin Fen smirked while shaking his head and no longer spoke. He reached out to open up the first page of this book, "Wu", and he was completely attracted to the records in an instant. 
This was a set of fist technique, but it was not like the general fist technique book that wrote down the names of the fist technique. It only recorded the way of performing the technique, as well as the main points during battle. 
This set of fist techniques was not the main thing that attracted Qin Fen. What was truly important was the person who recorded this set of fist technique. His understanding of martial arts was hidden in his writing of every single little movement, as well as in his words. 
In the eyes of others, this person was just an insignificant small character within a set of ordinary fist technique. One had to understand slowly the taste of the fist technique within. 
For Qin Fen, the moment the book opened, it came alive!
That's right! Alive!
In Qin Fen's eyes, the meridian of these insignificant people that were not active consisted of a true energy that was flowing rapidly. The torrential airflow was like the Yangtze River! 
There were different oscillations in between these true energies. That was the true powerful essence of mastering this fist technique. The words that were attached at the side of the book seemed to be jumping out from the book one by one and became an essence that was hidden with a fresh and active martial dao. They imprinted deeply in Qin Fen's mind, and the meridian in his body also began to jump with the flow.
Bai Sheng's expression had once again become dignified and surprised. As an examiner who had read in detail all of Qin Fen's information, he naturally knew that the surface power of this "Wu" was far behind the strength of the skills Qin Fen had already showcased. In any case, it was impossible that it could attract him to read it with such fascination. 
Unless! Bai Sheng's heart shrank a little. Unless this young man saw something on an even deeper level!
Ten minutes ago, even if Bai Sheng were to be beaten to death, he still would not believe that Qin Fen would be able to see the deeper side of the fist technique. 
However, with the explanation on the book cover of "Wu", Bai Sheng really began to suspect that Qin Fen might be able to understand this set of fist technique on a deeper level.
Although the records of the "Wu" fist below the cover were far more difficult to understand than the book cover... if Qin Fen didn't actually see the essence, Bai Sheng would not be able to believe that Qin Fen would read it with such fascination. 
Time was passing by and Bai Sheng was so shocked that he even forgot that Qin Fen had received the book half an hour ago. He stood in the same place and silently watched Qin Fen reading the "Wu" fist seriously.
Qin Fen became more surprised the more he continued to read. The records in this book seemed to be somewhat similar to a fist technique that he had previously come across. That's right! It was the Great Brahma Ambush Palm that was taught by Lin Liqiang in Shenyang! 
The fist technique in this book had some similarities with the Great Brahma Ambush Palm, but it was just not as in-depth as the Great Brahma Ambush Palm. It felt like this was the first version, or the foundation version of it. 
In an instant, Qin Fen felt that his mind became very clear. Many parts of which he did not understand in the Great Brahma Ambush Palm had become clear with the appearance of this book. 
All along, Qin Fen had carried a very helpless attitude towards the Great Brahma Ambush Palm. This was an extremely powerful paleo martial art, but it never seemed to be able to be integrated into his own martial learning. Perhaps it could be used on its own to exert a great power. 
Pure usage without true understanding would not serve any major purpose to a martial artist. It would only be a deadly weapon that did not differ from guns and bombs. It could not help any martial artists on their road to the peak of martial dao. 
Masters and others around the same level should be able to fully understand the Great Brahma Ambush Palm. According to the habits of their personality, eight or nine out of ten would not undergo any sort of explanation. 
In their words, martial dao was not as simple as a mathematical problem. Knowing and understanding were two different things. Many things in martial dao would have to be personally experienced by the martial artist. 
Qin Fen understood the answer of masters and the others. If the next generation of martial artists could improve immediately just by telling them their experiences, then the next generation of martial masters should be extremely outstanding and would be able to reach the standard of their predecessors immediately. Descendants of the martial arts masters would be nobodies in the martial dao route. 
By the time he reached the last page, five hours had passed.
Qin Fen exhaled a long breath and reluctantly returned the "Wu" book in his hands to Bai Sheng.
"Have you understood?"
Bai Sheng stared at Qin Fen with surprise and joy. Being able to read this book of "Wu" for five hours in the first contact was something extremely rare in the history of the establishment of Sacred Martial Hall. 
"No." Qin Fen sighed. His vision had yet to leave the "Wu" book, "This book can really be said to be extremely profound. How is it possible to absorb completely in just five hours?" 
Upon finishing, Qin Fen sighed again. This book was not only a set of fist technique, there were also still many keys within it. It was a martial arts encyclopedia and had significant help particularly in terms of true energy oscillations.
Bai Sheng evaluated Qin Fen in detail. The essence of this young man was definitely not the most outstanding in the history of Sacred Martial Hall, he was probably slightly above average. 
However, it was not necessary for someone to stand at the peak just because of good essence in martial learning! Essence was only a better foundation that acts as a head start during the beginning of martial arts practice.
Leading at the starting line was not sufficient enough to reach the endpoint of martial dao. The understanding of "Wu" held a greater proportion in the later period!
Looking at Qin Fen, Bai Sheng's heart sighed. Sacred Martial Hall was a special place that would never change its standard rules for anyone. For such a good seedling in the martial arts practice, it was indeed a pity. 
Ugh! Bai Sheng's right fist clenched slightly as he made a decision that even he himself could not believe.
"Hey, I'm so exhausted." Bai Sheng stretched his waist, "Just stay here today, leave tomorrow."
His voice fell and Bai Sheng was already standing twenty meters away. The "Wu" fist book in his pocket had yet to fall to the ground.
Pa…
The "Wu" fist book fell onto ground, and Bai Sheng had already floated to a distance of fifty meters.
With his strength, he could definitely hear the sound of a book falling onto the ground within such distance. Yet, as if he had not heard it, he exerted force under his feet and disappeared from Qin Fen's side with a turn. 
As he picked up the "Wu" fist on the ground, Qin Fen had a respectful expression on his face and bowed deeply in the direction that Bai Sheng had disappeared into. 
In this era where martial laws were extremely strict, Qin Fen was extremely clear of the danger in responsibility that Bai Sheng took up for pretending to drop a book without explicit permission. 
For this book to be lost for a night, not only did Bai Sheng offended the laws of the Federation, but he also violated the iron-like rules of Sacred Martial Hall!
If this were to be discovered by someone, the lightest consequence Bai Sheng would face was to have his martial practices abolished! It was even possible for him to be hung!
As a martial artist, Qin Fen knew how hard it was for Bai Sheng to possess such martial strength. He understood, even more, the extent of Bai Sheng's deeds. 
Crack… 
The door to the conference room opened at this time.
Zhao Huzi came out and saw Qin Fen standing blankly at the same place with the "Wu" book in his hand. His feet quickly made a turn back to the conference room and his mouth muttered constantly, "Sigh! I'm so old, my brain can't be used anymore. How did I forget my documents in the conference room again? Fortunately no one saw it, fortunately, no one saw it! This is a big crime, I have to hide it properly! I have to hide it properly! I'm guessing that Qin Fen will very possibly be ambushed again tonight. It seems like it is only right for me to look for some people to take cover near his room."
Documents? The conference room was so clean, what documents are there? Ambushed? Since when did Zhao Huzi become a prophet? Qin Fen's heart was touched greatly. What seemed to be a monologue of this general was filled with care and reminders. 
Qin Fen took the "Wu" fist carefully and bowed in the direction of Zhao Huzi once again. He then ran out of the promenade outside of the conference room. 
Soon, Qin Fen had disappeared from promenade near the conference room.
Bai Sheng, who had disappeared in the shadows not long ago, walked out slowly from the corner of the shadow. He sighed silently and whispered to himself, "Doing this, is it right or wrong? Kid, don't let me down!"
Bai Sheng's body swayed a little and disappeared from his position.
Zhao Huzi leaned on the doorway of the promenade and watched Bai Sheng, who disappeared. The corner of his mouth showed a smile of admiration, "It seems that I don't need to send people to guard the surroundings of Qin Fen's room tonight. With this examiner from Sacred Martial Hall as a guardian, it can almost be said to be foolproof…" 
A sudden phone call interrupted Zhao Huzi's monologue. He answered the phone and heard the voice of the African Major General, "Looking for the general, we are ready for the mobile armor sparring. How about, we spar tonight?" "
Challenge now? Isn't this an addition to the mess? Zhao Huzi sneered. What Qin Fen needed most tonight was to read! 
"I think tomorrow night would be better. Qin Fen needs a good rest tonight to face tomorrow's martial tournament."
"Tomorrow night? Okay then! Tomorrow night it is."
Vladimir hung up the phone, stood up and walked around his office. East Asia has never avoided confrontations. Unless they found out that something was wrong? No way! I have to get to the bottom of this. Zhao Huzi's reply was completely different from their style in this tournament that was not afraid to challenge at any place and time! Something definitely came up!


"Qin Fen had once been abandoned and broken until, one day, he picked up a liquid metal ball that turned his life upside down.
This is the interplanetary era where Classical and Modern Wushu are competing. Classical Wushu enables followers to grow as powerful as dragons and elephants, whereas Modern Wushu enables followers to freeze monsters or even extinguish erupting volcanoes.
Qin Fen steps onto the stage of both Classical and Modern Wushu while belonging to neither. With the exquisite combination of both Classical Wushu and modern technology, he will pave a way to become a legend.
He is one of a kind, a favored son of heaven." -KyleChow_
"He is a youth, a gentleman, and a scholar cultivating in the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art. He has the strength of ten dragons and ten elephants, producing clouds with a turn of a hand and rain with the other. This is a story about the clash of passions between neo martial arts and paleo martial arts. This is a story about transcending the apex, about forcefully slaughtering one's way into the legends. This is a story about fading into nirvana, about the prideful of heaven!
In this world, cultivating the paleo martial art known as the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art to the pinnacle allows one to possess the enormous strength of ten dragons and ten elephants! In this world, the Nitrogen Freezing Magic can freeze even a volcano on the verge of eruption! In this world, the Magma Art can instantly melt and vaporize a glacier!
This is a heavy undertaking by Skyscrapper back in 2009! This is a story of affection, of love. This is a story never lacking in friendship. This story, overflowing with heated blood, is certain to cause your own passion to surge!
This is a radiant era where hot-blood, friendship, love, and heroes converge, shine, and interweave upon each other.
Click and fall in love with this legend." -Strivon (Translation of original synopsis)


After leaving Qingxin Palace, Ren Baqian returned to Pingle Park on his own.
 He just found out the name of this residence after he had asked about it on his way back.
He entered his room, closed the door and opened the window. Then, he sat down and placed a thick, animal-hide-covered book on the table in front of him. At this moment, he was feeling slightly emotional.
After all, this book was a martial art manual from this world. This martial art must be a very high-level, otherwise, it wouldn't be placed on the second level of Qingxin Palace. This wasn't a manual on [Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms] that was sold on the street.
The animal hide that covered the manual was unknown to Ren Baqian. It made the book look as though it was passed down from ancient times. However, the book was completely intact without any wear and tear.
Ren Baqian carefully flipped open the book. A lake was drawn on the first page of the book. Some land, weeds, and trees were drawn around the lake.
Even though the picture wasn't drawn in great detail, its charm was still completely brought out, appearing as though it was releasing traces of water vapor directly into Ren Baqian's face.
Beneath the picture, there was a line of words. After attempting to read it for quite some time, Ren Baqian could only make out one word. If he hadn't recalled wrongly, the word should be "water".
After all, every pictogram had many areas in common.
He was caught unprepared by the rest of the words. Every word was like a picture.
The empress did not ask him about his learning progress before, and he himself also forgot about this issue.
"It seems like I have to learn how to read the words well first. For now, I'll need someone translate this book for me," Ren Baqian thought to himself. He casually flipped through the book. On the second page, there were numerous small words. On the third page, there was a picture of a forest. On the fourth page, there were numerous small words again.
Ren Baqian continued to flip through the book. Every page that had a picture was followed by a page full of words. There was a total of nine pictures in the book. After the eighteenth page, the rest of the pages were filled with words. On the last page of the book, there was a picture again.
Ren Baqian couldn't understand anything on the book. It would be a huge joke if he could learn the martial art just by looking at the pictures alone.
Ren Baqian picked up the book and headed to Qingxin Palace.
Showing this book to Lin Qiaole should be alright. He wouldn't say the same for other people. Therefore, he had to find that lass who was always falling asleep.
With the token given to him by the empress, he could go to many places in the palace without much difficulty. Everything would be alright as long as he did not lose his way.
Along the way, he encountered several palace maids. Every one of them would look at him with curiosity at first and then leave in a hurry.
After all, Ren Baqian was considered a prince-to-be, and this was the first time they encountered a situation like this. As such, they did not know what to do except to maintain some distance from him.
 When Ren Baqian pushed open the doors of Qingxin Palace, he saw Lin Qiaole sleeping. Her face was glued to the table.
 Other than the days she taught Ren Baqian how to read, she slept at least twenty hours per day. Ren Baqian had already expected to see her sleeping when he arrived at Qingxin Palace.
She woke up with a start after Ren Baqian gave the table a few knocks. When she realized it was Ren Baqian, she immediately yawned. With an annoyed look on her face, she asked, "What are you doing here again?"
"Teach me how to read these words and tell what they mean." By the time Ren Baqian finished his sentence, Lin Qiaole had already reached out her fair and beautiful palm.
"You have gone missing for so many days. For the past few days, I only dared to eat a few pieces. If you were not back any sooner, I would have to go and find you."
Ren Baqian took out a handful of candies from his clothes and placed them in her palm. Fortunately, he was prepared for this situation. If he did not bring any candies for this lass, she would definitely not help him.
Lin Qiaole was quite straightforward when it came to Ren Baqian using candies in exchange for her help. Ignoring her urge to sleep, she helped Ren Baqian translate the book all the way until evening.
Ren Baqian visited Qingxin Palace three days in a row before he finally understood [Ruyi Visualization].
This martial art divided a human body into five elements. Using one of the five elements, it allowed an individual to enter a state of emptiness. The first five pictures in the book depicted a lake, a mountain, a forest, a cluster of flames, and a sword.
After entering the state of emptiness, an individual would observe his body and master one of the five elements that corresponded to his body. Doing so would enhance the nature of his body.
This was only the foundation stage.
After an individual had mastered all five elements, he could then unravel and master all the mysteries in his body. At this stage, he had reached the apex of Man Wheel and would be entering the level of Earth Wheel.
After this stage, one had to visualize a goddess named Mother Goddess to continue his cultivation. He would have to draw a connection from his consciousness to the earth and then to the ley lines until he reached the apex of Earth Wheel.
The hardest part of this martial art was its foundation stage. After one had passed the foundation stage, he would have a smooth path to the Earth Embryo Realm.
This martial also had three cons. Firstly, it was different from most martial arts in the world. Most martial arts would cultivate the external of a body first before cultivating the internal or cultivate both at the same time. On the contrary, [Ruyi Visualization] cultivated the internal of a body first before cultivating the external. During the cultivation process, an individual had to take in a large amount of medicinal ingredients to supplement the five elements and temper his body.
Practicing this martial art required various types of rare medicinal ingredients. The amount of resources that this martial art consumed was tens of times more than other martial arts'.
The second one was that [Ruyi Visualization] skipped the process of converting one's essence blood into qi. This process was usually found in ordinary martial arts. As such, an individual that practiced [Ruyi Visualization] would not to have any qi in his body. It was completely different from other martial arts, appearing as though it could only strengthen one's physical body.
The third one was this martial art couldn't provide its practitioner with practical fighting capabilities. Other than allowing one to attain the Ley Line Realm, it had no practical combat uses. Even if one attained the level of Earth Wheel, he could only use his physical superiority to suppress other Earth Wheel experts. A practitioner of [Ruyi Visualization] could be considered as the weakest of all Earth Wheel experts.
Furthermore, without qi, even if he tried to learn other martial arts, he could not utilize them.
Initially, Ren Baqian thought that this martial art could help him become as physically strong as the aboriginals. Lin Qiaole's words killed his hope. The reason why aboriginals could break through their physical limitations was that they tapped into the power of their blood lineage.
As such, [Ruyi Visualization] was considered to be different from other martial arts. It was a completely unconventional martial art.
The method of cultivation after one reached the Earth Embryo Realm was depicted on the last picture in the book. It was a visualization picture that depicted a fiendish-looking man with eight arms. The book did not say what would happen after one reached the Earth Embryo State. Ren Baqian reckoned that he would only know what will happen after he reached that stage and visualized that picture.
According to Supervisor Lin, [Ruyi Visualization] was found in the imperial library of the Hao Nation. Perhaps even the people of the Hao Nation never practiced it before.
Not only was its foundation stage difficult to master, it also needed consumed a huge amount of resources. Furthermore, even if Ren Baqian mastered it, he would be at the bottom of all Earth Wheel experts, and he could only use his physical superiority to bully other people. What's point of learning such a martial art?
After all, those who were able to enter the imperial library certainly knew some martial arts.
"Do you still want learn this martial art?" Lin Qiaole asked as she chewed on a piece of candy.
Ren Baqian was slightly hesitant. After hearing from Lin Qiaole for the past few days, he knew a thing or two about martial arts. Learning a martial art wasn't the same as studying a college major. One couldn't simply stop practicing a martial art and learn another one just because he or she found it unsuitable.
For other martial arts, if one attained a certain level, for example Earth Wheel, he or she could learn another complementing martial art. For [Ruyi Visualization], it was a completely different situation. Even if he wanted to learn a new martial art after mastering [Ruyi Visualization], he couldn't do so.
If he chose to learn [Ruyi Visualization], he would have to stick with it all the way. No one knew what would happen after he reached the apex of Earth Wheel. Everything in the future was unknown to him.
If he chose not to learn [Ruyi Visualization], he would have to learn [Great Pan Boxing]. Otherwise, he had to wait for the empress to find martial arts for him from other places.
One could imagine the difficulty of this task. Out of all the book collections in Qingxin Palace, including the books from the Hao Nation's imperial library, only two martial arts were suitable for him.
If he was to choose another martial art, could he find it in a short period of time? And how much trouble would he cause in the process? Even if the empress was willing to do so, he wouldn't dare to let her do so.
After thinking it through, Ren Baqian felt that he had no other choice except to stick with [Ruyi Visualization].
The prerequisite being that he could pass the foundation stage.
From start, he never took fighting strength into consideration. He did not want to learn a martial art for the sake of beating people up. If he was weaker than other people, then so be it. At least he would be stronger than the current him.
 Furthermore, Earth had a lot of devastating and powerful weapons like rifles, grenades, RPG, etc.
If he had the machine gun of Sylvester Stallone, he reckoned that most Earth Wheel experts would flee in fear.


In a world where its inhabitants can destroy a city wall single-handedly, the empress has a kirin as her pet, and the imperial palace of Great Xia has a pool containing a dragon. There is also a Sword Mountain where spirit swords occasionally leave in search of a master .

Bootlicking the empress, Ren Baqian ascended to the apex of life.　　

The next morning, Su Mo got up early, freshened up, and headed into the Book Collection Pavilion.
The Book Collection Pavilion, a four-storey tower, was where the Sus stored scrolls of martial arts.
Before Su Mo had awakened his Martial Soul, he could only study the elementary martial arts on the first floor. Now that he had awakened his Martial Soul, and his cultivation was at Lv 1 Qi Cultivation Realm, he could choose cultivation skill and martial skill suited for him.
There were nine levels of cultivation skill and martial skill.
Each level was divided into three grades: Lower, Medium, and Upper.
Martial artists who used higher grade cultivation skill were naturally more powerful.
"Elder, I want to choose a scroll on the second floor," Su Mo said, saluting the pavilion protector as he stepped into the Book Collection Pavilion. 
"The second floor?"
The pavilion protector, a fat old man, said indifferently, "Su Mo, the second floor can only be accessed by those whose cultivation is at the Qi Cultivation Realm. No exceptions."
"I know that, elder. My cultivation is at Lv 1 Qi Cultivation Realm," Su Mo nodded and said.
"Lv 1 Qi Cultivation Realm?" The pavilion protector was stunned. Then, he said with a cold expression, "Su Mo, you just awakened your Martial Soul yesterday, and it was at Rank 1 Human Class. How could you be at the Qi Cultivation Realm so soon with that crappy Martial Soul? Even if you had a Rank 3 Human Class Martial Soul, it wouldn't be possible. Are you kidding me?"
"Humph! You'll see!"
Su Mo released an aura of Lv 1 Qi Cultivation Realm with a serious expression.
Then, he turned around and went up to the second floor of the Book Collection Pavilion, leaving the pavilion protector behind.
"He... he did it!"
The pavilion protector was stunned, but then he laughed disdainfully and said to himself, "The Master must have given him some precious elixir, but he still won't be able to go much further with his crappy Martial Soul."
Su Mo went to the second floor and saw rows of antique bookshelves, which were full of scrolls.
The Sus was one of two main clans in Sunnywood City, so they had many cultivation skills and martial skills. There were almost 100 scrolls on the second floor of the Book Collection Pavilion.
A tall young man was browsing the scrolls there.
"Su Mo!"
The young man was initially surprised to see Su Mo, but then he glared at him with complete disdain.
"Su Heng!" Su Mo glanced back at him.
Su Heng also awakened a Martial Soul yesterday. His Martial Soul was of Rank 4 Human Class Martial Soul, which was not as good as Su Yu's, but a high rank nonetheless.
Since Su Heng was on the second floor, his cultivation must have also reached the Qi Cultivation Realm.
"Well, this is unexpected, Su Mo. I heard yesterday that the Master bought a 'Qi Condensation Elixir' from the Herbs Shop, which is probably what you used to increase your cultivation!"
Su Heng looked at Sumo and said disdainfully, "Otherwise, you wouldn't even be able to reach the Qi Cultivation Realm with that crappy Rank 1 Human Class Martial Soul."
"It's none of your business how I got this cultivation," Su Mo said coldly. Then, he began to browse the manuals and ignored him.
Su Mo knew Su Heng very well.
When Su Mo was still considered the top genius of the Sus, Su Heng had fawned on him, and Su Mo had been very kind to him.
However, Su Heng now had a completely different attitude towards Su Mo.
"Humph! So much for being a genius. You're nothing but a piece of trash!" Su Heng snorted and continued selecting his manuals. 
Su Mo picked up a manual in the cultivation skill category and began reading it.
"Raging Fire Skill. Medium Lv 1 Cultivation Skill. The Genuine Qi cultivated through this method has extremely powerful fire power and has a very strong attack..."
Su Mo continued to browse after reading a few pages of this book.
He wanted to read a few more manuals to choose the most suitable cultivation skill.
All of the manuals on this floor were at Medium Lv 1. The manuals of Upper Lv 1 were only on the third floor.
However, those manuals were only available for those whose cultivation was at Lv 7 Qi Cultivation Realm.
"Huge Rock Skill. Medium Lv 1 cultivation skill. The Genuine Qi cultivated through this method is dense and has strong defense..."
"Clouds Skill. Medium Lv 1 cultivation skill. The Genuine Qi cultivated through this method is pure and has equally strong attack and defense..."
After reading several manuals, Su Mo selected Cloud Skill because of its pure genuine Qi and strong attack and defense.
After choosing a cultivation skill, it was time to choose a martial skill.
"Iron Fist. This fistplay is fierce and can easily crack open stones after practicing to the great Completion Realm... "
"Flying Swordplay. This swordsmanship is ethereal, agile, and gorgeous..."
"Breeze Palm..."
"Infinite Push Hands..."
Su Mo was not satisfied with a dozen martial skills that he read.
"Ninefold Ocean Wave Fist?"
Su Mo's eyes brightened when he saw the name of this manual. He could recognize that it was extraordinary.
He opened the manual excitedly. "Ninefold Ocean Wave Fist. Medium Lv 1 Martial Skill. The body is like the sea, and the fist is like a wave. The fist force has many levels, and each level is stronger than the previous one."
"This is the one!" After reading for a moment, Su Mo nodded with satisfaction.
As he was about to leave with the two manuals, Su Heng suddenly blocked him.
"Su Mo, put down Ninefold Ocean Wave Fist," Su Heng shouted arrogantly.
Su Mo glanced at him and asked, "Why should I?"
"I was thinking about taking that manual, and I've decided that I want it, so give it back to me!" Su Heng raised his chin and ordered.
"Give it back to you? It was never yours!"
Su Mo scoffed and said, "The book is mine now, so you're not getting it."
"Are you sure?" Su Heng's eyes grew cold, and he said, "Su Mo, do you know what the consequences of angering me are?"
"What consequences?" Su Mo smiled and said, "I have no idea. Please tell me."
"You're a piece of trash, but you're still so arrogant." Su Heng shouted furiously, "Su Mo, I'll say it again. Give it to me, kneel, and apologize, or I'll break your legs."
"Kneel and apologize, or you'll break my legs?"
A cold light flashed in Su Mo's eyes, and he said indifferently, "I'd like to see you try!"
"You're courting death!"
Su Heng shouted, and his spirit of Lv 1 Qi Cultivation Realm exploded. A yellow light shone behind him, which meant that he was arousing his Martial Soul to attack.
"Stop it!"
At that moment, the pavilion protector said with an icy voice, "No fighting in the Book Collection Pavilion, or you'll be banned for life!"
These words stopped Su Heng.
"Elder, I'm sorry. I won't violate the rules," Su Heng said hastily to the elder, stifling his anger.
Even though he wanted to teach Su Mo a lesson, Su Heng did not dare to violate the rules.
It would be a great loss if he was banned from the Book Collection Pavilion for life.
"Today is your lucky day. I won't let you off next time," Su Heng turned to Su Mo and snarled.
"Idiot!" Su Mo glanced at him and turned to leave.
"What did you say?"
Su Heng became furious again. He glared at the leaving Su Mo and gnashed his teeth in anger.
Since he had awakened a Rank 4 Human Class Martial Soul, his status had risen a lot in the Sus, and others were polite to him.
Today, he was insulted by this useless man with a crappy Martial Soul, and that drove him mad.
"Damn it, I'll make you pay!"
　　


Su Mo went from the pride of his clan to becoming the butt end of a joke in a matter of minutes. The former King of Mercenaries from Earth was reborn in the body of a boy in a foreign world and had used skills in his previous life to rise to the top among his peers, however, his previous training could only take him so far. The next step in this martial arts dominated world was to awaken one’s Martial Soul.
The awakening ceremony ends in disaster for Su Mo as he awoke a Martial Soul of the lowest level. Such a prodigy is now considered worse than useless as his Martial Soul is far too weak! After becoming the embarrassment of the clan, he discovers that his Martial Soul has a unique property: it could level up! This unique martial soul could shake the heavens. 
It was at this time that Su Mo meets the love of his life but the situation quickly deteriorates when she is taken by one of the most powerful forces in the world. Su Mo must rise from the lowest of the low and reach the pinnacle of power in order to save the love of his live within five years or she will forever be out of his reach.


Kewang Yun sat in a dark chamber, with a sword strapped to his back, comprehending the words in a book. 

The book was of course [The Asura's Way]. This though was the complete version of the book, it wasn't just a few pages, it was in ninety pages long. 

The moment that old lady had given him this book it had resonated with his martial spirit.

He had an in-depth chat, with a strange man through a crystal. The man told him about his martial spirit, and that in the future he would look forward to seeing him in the divine realm!

This man just called himself the 'demon's voice'. Kewang Yun had guessed that this man must be extremely powerful, as even the old lady was incredibly respectful towards him.

He further theorised that he was part of a council that ruled the Heavenly Demon Tribe, guessing that there would be others called demon's fist, or demon's will. It seemed only logical.

The old man had told him that the book he had received was only available to the upper echelons of the Heavenly Demon Tribe, and that he was extremely lucky to get it. He had also told him that he should read the book, and comprehend it fully, even if he were to die of old age before he fully did so.

This was because, the secrets contained in this book would guide him step-by-step through his cultivation journey, to the point of instead of it being an arduous mountain you must climb, it became a slide, that you could just fall to a higher cultivation.

Although Kewang Yun was originally puzzled by this analysis, he didn't take it to heart, and he was determined to master the book as quick as possible – and he did.

The moment he opened the Codex, the reaction from his Martial Spirit was one that was without comparison, before when had first opened the shorter version of [The Asura's Way] his Martial Spirit had raged and tried to unleash its full potential, yet it could not. 

Something was missing!

Now though, it was different. 

The Spirit Roared, seemingly possessing his body. 

The Asura Codex flashed in recognition. 

Suddenly two drops of blood hovered out of the book, shooting between Kewang Yun's eyebrows. 
Then a strand of what seemed to be horrifying like Qi emerged from the book. It shot towards his Martial Spirit, which snatched at the chance to get it. 

The Spirit consumed it readily. The feeling this gave Kewang Yun was exhilarating, seeming like he was sapping energy from a star!

Then a voice emerged from the book. 

"Young One, inheritor." 

Kewang Yun snapped out of his daze, looking towards the book astonished. 

"Yes. You have many questions, but my time is limited. I go by many names. Destroyer of Systems, Slayer of Immortals, the Devourer of Heavens. Devil, Asura… finally the Heavenly Demon." 

"You're the Hea-"

"Yes, little one. I am the founder of the Heavenly Demon Tribe, the last of my Kin. Or at least the remnant will left behind." 

"Though today we shall not preside over that. The reason I have appeared before you is to advise you. At the moment you have awakened the Heavenly Demon Spirit, but… there is still much to come." 

"In the Asura's Codex, it will instruct you how to merge with your Martial Spirit and be reborn anew. The first Heavenly Demon in many generations."  The remnant will said with an uncontested pride!
"Your might shall shake the heavens, although do not shake them too much, otherwise you may awaken Chen Hu. That is how I fell…" A great sorrow emerged from the voice.

"Chen Hu, who's-"

"Silence." The voice commanded. 

"I haven't got long. Hold your questions for another day. You must cultivate the Asura Codex to the 6th major realm – Heaven Realm. This would usually be impossible, as it would kill the practitioner. But I have given you two drops of my Heavenly Demon Blood. This will allow you to cultivate it. Then when you are at the peak of Heaven Realm a change will occur, when this happens you must merge with your Martial Spirit!" 

"In doing so, a new golden age will be born for my Heavenly Demon Tribe, and a new dark age shall descend upon the three realms." The voice continued, whilst chuckling connivingly.

"Finally, when you've merged with your Martial Spirit and become a member of the Heavenly Demon Tribe, remember to sow your oats. That way even if you die, there will at least be a chance my Tribe will continue until the next Heretical Lord rises and either cleanses the Universe or at until Chen Hu awakens. Good luck child." The voice which seemed eternally powerful faded into nothing. 

Although the Kewang Yun did not trust the being, he did know it wouldn't risk the bloodline of its tribe, so, therefore, decided to follow its advice. Someday he would merge and become a Heavenly Demon. 

Kewang Yun continued reading, taking in every meticulous detail. The sun in the sky seemed to fade into moonlight, then sun again. The cycle repeating an untold amount of time. 

Slowly dust started to gather upon Kewang Yun's skin, and this skin was not young like his previous self. It was old, wrinkled, decaying. 

All the while his eyes slowly traced the words in the book. Him discovering new profundities ever line he went over. Progress was at a snail's pace though. It once took him a whole day to profound a single word in this book, yet none the less he continued.

Finally, he took a deep breath. And slammed the book shut. Looking up his bloodshot eyes resembled a demon, thirsty for cultivation. 

Kewang Yun looked down at his skin, he shook his head in disappointment. "The amount of time its taken me to completely read this is truly abysmal. I'm afraid it's been several decades." His voice which was once youthful had now become old and raspy. 

Looking at himself he coughed a few times. "How sad. It appears that my life force is waning. I'd estimate I have a year to live at the most. This shouldn't be a problem though. All I need to do is break into the Qi Sea Realm, and I should be able to have a few hundred more years of life force."

The story of those that defy heaven's will, go against the natural order of the world and become a heretic under the heavens. Kewang Tian was born into a seemingly small city, in a large world of cultivation, but sometimes a tiger pretends to be a pig, and sleeping dragons lie beneath the ground, buried but by no means dead.

However, the black dog was fearless in the face of such a threat, and it laughed contemptuously. "What a joke! Haven't you learned about the precondition of triggering the disaster of books beforehand?"
Su Yu indifferently replied, "Of course I have. Only those who have flipped through the Books of Life will be afflicted by the disaster of books!"
The black dog was taken aback, and it had a sudden feeling of foreboding. Baffled, it said, "Are you going to say that all 20,000 of them have been to the book yard, and flipped through the Books of Life? It's impossible! At least half of them have come from other areas and have never been to the book yard"
Voices of confusion broke out amongst the crowds as well.
"That's right, Su Yuxian! I've never been to the book yard, so I can't be a target of the disaster of books!"
"True, I've never been there either!"
"If that's the case, most of us won't be affected by the disaster of books. We'll have no way to discern the conspirator behind the scene."
However, the corners of Su Yu's mouth twitched, curving into a smile that frightened the black dog.
"Indeed, you haven't been to the book yard, but who says that just because you haven't been to the book yard, you have not read the Book of Life? I have already let each and every one of you read it!" Su Yu said.
Su Yu casually stuck out his palms, one to the left and another to the right with both palms facing down. This was the gesture he made when he was separating the people who wanted to kill and the ones who didn't earlier. All of the people had followed his action and come to the left side, which meant no intention of killing.
"You have attached the content of the Book of Life to your palm!" The black dog was utterly surprised.
Su Yu opened his palm, and a piece of paper the size of a nail could be seen. There were a couple of words on it. "This piece of paper was derived from the Book of Life! Based on the rules of the book yard, a person will be a target of the book disaster as long as they have seen the book! It wasn't stated in the rules as to how much content should be read. Hence, based on my understanding, even if you have just read a word, or seen a piece of paper of it, it still counts!"
"While I was dividing you up just now, everyone looked at my palm when they were choosing sides. They would have seen the paper on my palm even by taking just once glance," Su Yu explained. "Now, all of you, accept the advent of the disaster of books! Except for a certain creature of the Wonderland!"
Upon hearing his words, everyone was flabbergasted. They had actually read the Book of Life without even realizing! They hadn't even noticed it themselves.
"You have come prepared?" The black dog inhaled a deep breath. It had lost in the worst possible way.
Su Yu replied placidly, "Dealing with old devils like you that never die, of course, I had to keep a trump card."
The black dog asked, "What if I hadn't reserved any plans? Were you going to let them be trampled by the disaster of books for no reason?"
Su Yu shrugged. "So what if they get trampled? If I didn't say a thing, they wouldn't have gotten their heads around the source of the disaster of books, I've got nothing to lose!"
Most people were speechless.
"Junior Sister Bing, don't stop me!"
"Eh! Junior Sister Bing, why are you drawing your sword?"
"I'm going to chop him into pieces!"
"Oh no! Someone come and help! Restrain Junior Sister Bing!"
"Hahaha, interesting, this is very interesting! Finally, a competent, presentable challenger after ten thousand years." The black dog was laughing, its laughter resonating with a tinge of loneliness and disappointment.
"If you people weren't destined to die, I really wouldn't wish to kill you. It's been ten thousand years, I have endured this loneliness for so long, looking after a withered grave with no one to talk to."
"Tsk, godda*n dog, you're quite interesting too. If you're willing to leave the evil behind and embrace the good, I don't mind spending a little money on bones every month," Su Yu remarked nonchalantly.
The black dog burst out laughing. "Shouldn't you ask the rest of the challengers about that? They must hate me in their bones! Aren't you afraid to be forsaken by your dear ones?"
"Of course I am afraid! That is why I need to pick you out, to answer to the challengers who had sacrificed." Su Yu chuckled coldly. "It's almost here!"
The intangible vibrations erupted all of a sudden. The disaster of books had arrived! The 20,000 bewildered challengers were shrouded by the disaster and began to curse.
Every person that was subject to the disaster of books had the virtual shadow of a black-colored book above their heads. That was the symptom of being inflicted with the disaster of books. If it was absent, there could be no doubt that the individual was the creature of the Wonderland!
"Ahh! He doesn't have it!" Cries of shock broke out in the crowds.
Su Yu's eyes shone like bolts of lightning. Without saying a word, he raised his hands and arranged the Five Elemental Heaven Extinguishing Formation to enclose the area.
"You won't get away this time!" A cold gleam shone in Han Fei's eyes. Stepping on two black Suns, she flew over swiftly.
The disaster of books was on the brink of beginning, but there was still a while before it happened for real. The amount of time they had left was adequate to allow them to tame the black dog. After that, they could concentrate on contending with the disaster of books.
The individual encased by the Five Elemental Heaven Extinguishing Formation was a youth in his twenties. He had a rather dark face and an average build. He was the type of person that was indistinguishable from the rest of the crowd. Moreover, there were more than 20,000 people at the scene, and the influences were complicated and intermingled. To all the challengers, everyone else was a stranger except for the companions whom they were familiar with. Hence, no one had noticed the black dog hiding among them.
"You have won!" The youth opened his pair of emerald eyes and flashed a smile to compliment Su Yu.
Han Fei looked cold and detached. Without saying another sentence, she raised her hand and an incredulously colossal Sun befell on top of the youth. This black Sun was capable was delivering the youth to the demonic dimension, and would let him be torn apart by the people of the demonic dimension.
However, the youth changed his attitude. "However, this is only the beginning between us! You're called Su Yuxian right? Hehe, the game between us has just begun. Enjoy it all you can!"
Su Yu frowned, realizing a threat was imminent. Did the black dog still have some tricks up its sleeve?
"You're counting on the time before the disaster of books kicks in to tame me, aren't you? But what if you don't have the time?" The youth smiled mysteriously.
Su Yu's heart skipped a beat. "You're…" An idea suddenly came into his head.
"That's right! I'm the story master of the martial tower, but, I'm also the yard master! The yard master of the martial yard!!" The youth revealed his ground-shaking alternate identity.
Each of the five great yards had their respective yard masters, whom ordinary people wouldn't get a chance to meet. Nonetheless, the black dog turned out to be a yard master!
"As the yard masters, each of us possesses a masterstroke, and my masterstroke is the most unique of all. It's similar to that of the flower yard master, but overrides hers." The youth was smiling calmly.
Su Yu's heart thumped wildly. The flower yard master was allocated in the Nine Jade Spiritual Pearl by Su Yu. Her masterstroke was very simple: she had the ability to make the disaster of flowers begin earlier than scheduled. She brought the disaster of flowers, that was supposed to arrive after seven days, forward by a day, inflicting great fatality upon the people of the Heaven's Craftsmen Region.
As the martial yard master, what was this youth's ability?
"My masterstroke is to control all disasters!!" The youth flashed a small smile, which had hints of mocking in it. "Just enjoy it the best you can, I look forward to your upcoming performance if you can survive! Hahahahaha!"
Buzz…buzz…buzz…
All of a sudden, three types of intangible vibrations spread across the entire Wonderland. Among them were vibrations from the book yard and the martial yard. More importantly, even the vibrations from the beast yard, which was half a month away, arrived as well! Su Yu took in a sharp, cold breath. This was the black dog's masterstroke as the yard master of the martial yard: he could control all disasters!
Three types of wave patterns stirred in everyone's heart all at once. Furthermore, they were triggered off instantly, without even a moment of stagnation. The disaster of books, which was only supposed to break out in full force some time later, broke out in an instant.
A virtual shadow materialized in front of Su Yu out of nowhere, staring coldly at him. The same happened to everyone else. All of them were faced with a virtual shadow visible only to themselves which was confronting them.
Han Fei was no exception. With her ongoing cultivation technique disrupted, the youth chuckled, shook his sleeve, and turned to leave. Before stepping out of the martial tower, he said tauntingly, "Enjoy! Hahaha…"
Whizz!
All eight entrances of the martial tower opened at the same time. They did not close behind him. Closing them no longer served the purpose of stopping the challengers escaping. Instead, if the doors closed, it would become some sort of shield that kept the disasters from the challengers. Hence, the entrances might as well be left open to welcome in the disasters, which were about to devastate the challengers.
The black dog hadn't initially wanted to take such a course of action because there were 20,000 more challengers besides them. But it was forced into a despairing predicament by Su Yu, and it had no choice but to resort to such means.
"Huang Ze?" Su Yu stared at the virtual shadow of a stranger before his eyes.
The shadow nodded. "I am Huang Ze, the character in the Book of Life which you have read."
When Su Yu first entered the book yard, he had opened and read the Book of Life transformed by Huang Ze without even thinking about it. The book had recorded his entire life in so much depth that even the piles on his buttocks were delineated in detail.
"Come on! If you destroy me, you are freed from the disaster of books. If you fail, however, you will replace me and become the new Book of Life," Huang Ze said. With a flip of his hand, he drew a knife.
Su Yu rubbed his chin and did not spring into action right away. "May I ask you two questions?"
Huang Ze thought for a moment as he kept hold of the knife. "You may! I can answer them as long as it's something I knew while I was alive. But you only get to ask two questions. After I answer them, the fight has to start, and you don't get to delay it anymore."
"First question, what if I haven't read one of the Books of Life I have obtained yet?" Su Yu caressed his space ring. He hadn't had time to read the Book of Yang of Mo Jidao.
Luckily, Huang Ze had an answer to that. "After you pull through the disaster of books, the unread Book of Life will disappear on its own. Even the stone-rubbed version will be no exception!"
Su Yu nodded as he listened. "Okay, I understand now."
"Second question, for individuals like them who have only seen a corner of a paper from your Book of Life, how powerful will the virtual shadow of the disaster that they encounter be?"
"My power has nothing to do with the amount of content of the book read. Even if they have only seen a word, I will appear with full capacity! The only difference is that, the lesser they have read, the shorter the time I will be present for!"
"For people like you who have read the whole book, I will continue to exist until you have obliterated me! But for those who have only read a word like them, my time of existence will be no more than one breath, perhaps I won't even get to strike in time."
So that's how it works! Su Yu nodded.
"In that case, let the fight begin!" Huang Ze's eyes grew stern. The knife in his hand turned into a shooting star and moved towards Su Yu.
Unhurriedly, Su Yu took out several round pearls, encasing the shooting star. It was rendered completely immobile.
Before his demise, Huang Ze had been an eighth-grade Almighty. Many people considered him to be very talented, but he was no match for Su Yu. A mere Meteor Light Stream Formation was enough to oppress him.
Huang Ze heaved a sigh. "I never expected you to be this great! I've lost. You may destroy me!"
"My apologies, you may take a nap first." Su Yu slammed his palm on his head and knocked him out cold before tossing him into the Nine Jade Spiritual Pearl.
Huang Ze was nonplussed. Hold on, why don't you destroy me? I don't want to nap! I don't like it! Quick, let me out, quick!
The mellifluous, earth-shattering cries reverberated within the Nine Jade Spiritual Pearl, continuous and never-ending.
Su Yu clapped his hands and, one by one, the rest of them awoke from the disaster of books. Most of the other challengers hadn't even seen Huang Ze clearly before he had receded on his own because the time was up.
"The crisis is resolved! It's lucky we have Junior Brother Su." Several young senior sisters fluttered their eyelashes and gathered around Su Yu. 
After the series of incidents, Su Yu's image in the eyes of the inner sanctum elites had undergone a drastic change. This was particularly due to their battles against Su Yu while he was the story master. His inexplicable strength crumbled the pride of the inner sanctum elites and made them eat the humble pie.
After that, he fought the mysterious antagonist in the dark with his endless wits and impressive intelligence. It had been a bumpy ride, and all of them could not help but worship him!
Even Han Fei, who was a starry sky elite, was only serving as a helper and providing aid from the side, while Su Yu played the core role.
A crisp voice chided them. "Don't you have anything else to do? The martial disaster is here! Go and get prepared!".
The senior sisters turned to look at the speaker and quickly looked unimpressed.
"Humph, what's she showing off for? She only had an advantage because she was nearer!"
"Exactly, I heard that she announced the marriage proposal on her own, and that was how she took possession of Junior Brother Su. How cheap!"
"What's there to worry? The marriage proposal hasn't been approved by her parents. Junior Brother Su is a young, delicate… She is like a mature old cabbage, and we still stand a chance of getting a bite."
"What right does Bing Wuxin have to occupy the toilet without sh*tting? Us female elites of the inner sanctum will not bow to her!"
Of course, these words were exchanged through telepathy with Vital Energy. They did not have the guts to say them brazenly.
"Your disaster of books hasn't ended?" Bing Wuxin's status as Su Yu's fiancée allowed her to get rid of the senior sisters with the ulterior motives.
Su Yu pointed at the black book above his head which was still flickering, signifying that the disaster of books was still in progress. "Almost done."
"Okay. We're fortunate to have you this time. You saved us from the peril." Despite the look of indifference on Bing Wuxin's face, there were ripples in her eyes. Who didn't wish their man would become more outstanding day by day?
But Su Yu shook his head. "We're far from being safe! The vibrations of the martial disaster are getting more and more intense! Start preparing right away. Each disaster will be stronger the previous, and the danger of the martial disaster is not to be slighted."
After sitting down opposite Bing Wuxin with crossed legs and taking a brief respite, Su Yu sensed the advent of the martial disaster! All of a sudden, the world seemed to pause for a while and tranquillity returned.
The vibrations of the martial disaster subsided on their own.
"What's going on? Where's the martial disaster?" Beside him, Bing Wuxin was looking around in bafflement.
Not only her, but every other challenger who was prepared for the martial disaster was in shock. They engaged in heated discussions.
"According to the rules, the time of disappearance of the vibrations will be the official onset of the disaster. Why are the surroundings unchanged?"
"Yes, is the martial disaster distinguished in any way?"
Many people were speechless. They were bewildered by the fact that the mythical devastating martial disaster had vanished by itself.
Based on past records, the martial disaster could wipe out nearly 40 percent of the challengers. It was a disaster with a remarkable impact.
"Did the martial disaster end before it could even begin because of the previous unforeseen events?" After some discussions, many challengers came to the same seemingly logical conclusion. 
Only a small minority of them raised their guard, becoming even more alert. To destroy them, the black dog had called upon three consecutive disasters. How could the martial disaster subside just like that without inflicting any damage? They must have overlooked something!
Su Yu sank into deep thoughts. Suddenly, he seemed to have realized something, and his heart missed a beat.
"Is it because…" Su Yu lifted his gaze. And as he scanned all the challengers at the scene, an incredulous surmise formed in his mind.


A decision can destroy the sun, moon and stars. A finger can kill the Heavenly Overlord. While chatting, the Heaven and ten worlds can be annihilated.
A poor little kid walks out from a remote mountain area while holding the Nine Dragons and the Incredible Cauldron. With a control over the time and space eternally, he embarks on the Path to God where he defies the odds of the boundless universe gaudily by fighting against royalty and clashing with the legendary generation.

 "This little brother is Shi Yan Ming, the librarian of the Sutra Depository Pavilion. If you need to look up a book, you can ask him to help you."
 When the monk left, Wei Xiao Bei did not rush to enter the Sutra Depository Pavillion to go and read the secret scriptures. On the contrary, he curiously chatted with Shi Yan Ming.
 "What is this computer for?"
 Wei Xiao Bei pointed at the computer on the table and asked.
 Shi Yan Ming felt that it was funny and answered, "Could it be that benefactor Wei had never been to a library? This is used to record books and the status of borrowed books."
 Wei Xiao Bei's face immediately reddened as he did not think before asking.
 Although he did not go to the library much, he at least knew that every library had a managing computer.
 Perhaps he had been puzzled by how ancient the Shaolin Temple look that he had forgotten about this.
 How embarrassing!
 "I just never thought that the Shaolin Temple would keep up with the times and would have already caught up with modern society."
 Wei Xiao Bei could not help but sigh.
 "This is nothing big. Even the books that are kept inside the Pavillion have already been scanned and stored inside a hard disk. It's very convenient to look them up. Naturally, this poor monk still feels that looking at its original copy feels better."
 Perhaps he was showing off or really being honest. In any case, Shi Yan Ming's words caused Wei Xiao Bei to become a bit excited. 
 In truth, if he could, he was much more willing to have the hard drive copied.
 Unfortunately, it was an impossible thing to do once he thought about it!
 Perhaps because the number of monks that came to the Pavillion was very few, Shi Yan Ming was rather entertaining in conversation. From his words, Wei Xiao Bei came to understand many matters about the Pavillion.
 There were three floors to the pavilion. On the lowest floor various external techniques such as punching, kicking, and grappling were practiced. On the second floor, internal techniques and weapon techniques were found, including the Shaolin 72 consummate arts.
 The third floor was where the original copies of Buddhist Scriptures and treasured books were found. For the Shaolin Temple, these books were a lot more important than martial arts books.
 Thus, if Wei Xiao Bei wanted to enter the third level, he needed to speak with Shi Yan Ming and be accompanied up.
 This could not be helped. If any of these original copies of Buddhist Scriptures and treasured books were lost or destroyed, the ensuing problems would be huge. 
 Every single book was an antique.
 If Shi Yan Ming was a storyteller, he would definitely be a professional as his words had roused Wei Xiao Bei's interest.
 Wei Xiao Bei did not hold up any more of Shi Yan Ming's time as another monk entered. Shi Yan Ming apologized and served the other monk.
 Afterward, Wei Xiao Bei left the reception and went into the Pavillion.
 The Sutra Depository Pavillion was one of the most important places in the Shaolin Temple. The area that it occupied was very large. Looking at it from the inside, there were rows of bookcases that appeared as if rows of soldiers, making anyone who saw it feel awe at the glory.
 Wei Xiao Bei thought for a bit and walked to the first bookcase. Although the majority of the books there were string bound, they had been maintained quite well. He wore thin gloves that Shi Yan Ming gave him, took out the first book he saw and looked at the cover.
 Chuanquan (Boat fists)?
 The name was quite rare. Wei Xiao Bei opened to the first page and saw that it looked simple. Chuanquan was a traditional martial art from the coastal areas. Its creator was a fisherman, and it was a specialized martial art for use while on boats.
 Because small boats rock a lot and some were only the size of a table that could fit eight people, Chuanquan was very different from other land-based martial arts.
 To train Chuanquan, the most important thing to first do was to have a firm stance! Even if the wind blew and the waves rolled, the stance should be as firm as Mt. Tai!
 Other than firmness, it should also be light. When punching out and retracting it should be light and quick just like an arrow. 
 Although the technique was not famous, it was a thousand-year traditional martial art in the Jiangsu province.
 Wei Xiao Bei looked at the book very fast as the pages flew with a woosh. In less than 20 seconds, he had read the entire book. Moreover, he had already saved everything to his memory, including the images. 
 In truth, if he was not worried that the book might be destroyed, then he could have been even faster and finished the book in less than six seconds.
 It could be said that just this book alone made him feel as if he had benefited.
 It must be said that Wei Xiao Bei's martial arts were mainly Bajiquan, while his auxiliary was the Three Emperor Cannon Fist. However, these two were fist techniques, making his main focus full offensive in battles.
 However, in the Dust World, the situation could change erratically. Who knew if there was a need for him to go on the defensive or perhaps delay the enemy.
 On the other hand, the Chuanquan was mainly defense, supplemented by a bit of offense. It was to the point that training it required the user to not go out of the space of two-feet while the hands should be like doors.
 From this, the defensive nature of Chuanquan could be seen.
 Naturally, Wei Xiao Bei was only reflecting for a bit. He immediately picked up a book and flipped its pages.
 After Shi Yan Ming finished inputting the monk's records in the computer, he got up and went to take a look at Wei Xiao Bei.
 Although he did not know about Wei Xiao Bei's display the previous day, he had a favorable impression of him, thus he was worried.
 In the end, when he saw Wei Xiao Bei, he could not help but be stupefied.
What is this reading speed?
 Initially, Shi Yan Ming originally thought that Wei Xiao Bei was trying to find a book with how fast he was flipping the page, but after careful inspection, he realized that it definitely wasn't the case.
 Who flips the entire book until the end to find a book?
 If he truly wanted to find a book, he should only look at the cover and at most the introduction. Doing so should have been enough to understand the specialty of martial art.
 Could he truly have read the entire thing that fast?
 Shi Yan Ming frowned, but since he knew that Wei Xiao Bei was an outsider that could enter the Sutra Depository Pavillion, then it meant that the other party paid a hefty price.
 Entering the Sutra Depository Pavillion was no simple feat. Even the monks of the Shaolin Temple had to apply one day before to be able to enter it.
 In simpler terms, the Sutra Depository Pavillion was like a big company's classified database. No idiot boss would simply let other companies take a look at their own secret database.
 However, it is impossible for Wei Xiao Bei to simply go crazy like this after paying such a huge price.
 Then there is only one answer to this!
 He is truly reading the books!
 Although his occupation was a monk, Shi Yan Ming had also read manga. This was very normal as reading books could widen one's world view.
 Is he truly reading?
 Can he actually remember it?
 Shi Yan Ming touched his shaven head. He felt as if his world view had suddenly collapsed. He sat back on the chair and stared at Wei Xiao Bei with empty eyes.
Anyway, as long as Wei Xiao Bei did not destroy the books, even if he read that fast, he was still within reason. 
 Wei Xiao Bei noticed Shi Yan Ming's gaze from the start.
 However, even if he noticed, Wei Xiao Bei didn't slow down his reading speed just to cover it up.
 He simply had no choice as there were just too many books!
 After reading more than 100 books, he already noticed one thing. There were not many books that recorded purely martial arts. Many of them were records left by predecessors.
 For example, the books close to the Chuanquan were written experiences by Shaolin monks and some comprehensions by other martial artists. There were even some books that wrote improvements to it.
 In truth, these records were not inferior to the martial art scripture itself.
 In the beginning, martial arts were originally fighting techniques used by Chinese predecessors to fight against beasts. Afterward, they were developed through battle and became capable of killing. Over time, they had formed into various martial arts, from which many other variations originated. New ideas were born as time passed.
 These records had written down that same process.
 It could be said that these records contained senior martial artist's thoughts.
 In truth, if it was in the past, if people wanted to become a Cosmic Jing expert, they would need to learn and master more than 10 different martial arts and consolidate them.
 On the other hand, Wei Xiao Bei relied on his status panel and pushed his Bajiquan to reach the Cosmic Jing level.
 However, this was Wei Xiao Bei's weakness in learning martial arts, causing any further growth to stagnate.
 For him, the benefits of these martial arts records were imaginable.
 From entering the Pavillion at nine in the morning, Wei Xiao Bei had continued reading until he had been called out by Shi Yan Ming, triggering him to come to his senses, "Master Yan Ming, is something the matter?"
 Seeing Wei Xiao Bei's stupid expression, Shi Yan Ming could not help but laugh and raised his left hand, letting Wei Xiao Bei see his watch, "Is something the matter. It's already 11 o'clock, could it be that reading has completely removed your hunger?"
 "Ah, right. It's lunchtime."
 Wei Xiao Bei appeared as if he awoke from a dream and nodded his head and Shi Yan Ming smiled bitterly. 
 How could this guy be a Guo Shu Great Scholar, he is simply a crazy bookworm!
 Perhaps due to being cared for by the head of the Dharma Palace, Wei Xiao Bei's food had been directly sent to him from the kitchen to the Sutra Depository Pavillion. They had even brought Shi Yan Ming's portion.
 Shi Yan Ming had basked in Wei Xiao Bei's light.
 In truth, Wei Xiao Bei was not willing to delay his reading for food. If he was truly hungry he could just eat two pieces of barbecued meat.
 This could not be helped as he could not overstep what was normal.
 First, it was prohibited for people to eat inside the Pavillion as they could accidentally dirty the books.
 Additionally, even if he did not need to eat, Shi Yan Ming needed to eat. Moreover, he would need to run to the dining hall to eat, closing the Pavillion doors.
 Wei Xiao Bei would then have to wait outside the Pavillion.
 This trip back and forth was a lot longer compared to eating outside of the Pavillion.


One day, Wei Xiao Bei gets dragged into The Dust World, a post-apocalyptic world ruled by monsters from myths, legends, games, etc. He also gains the power to travel between it and the real world, as well as the power called the 'Status Panel'. With this power, he chooses to strengthen himself to explore the vast mysteries and terror of the other world. What mysteries await him? What is The Dust World?
Author's Synopsis:
What the hell is this? What the hell happened here?
How did my room become so ruined after a single night?
The floor and table were covered in dust, his new poster of Zhang Liang Ying that had just been posted on the wall a few days ago had already become yellow and tattered all over. Even Zhang Liang Ying’s beautiful face became monstrous as if an old devil was looking at him with a terrifying smile.
The walls were covered by a mist of cobwebs and the fruits placed on top of the coffee table were withered and rotted to the point that the mold on them had turned black. The fruits below even seemed to have turned into mush. The aluminium framed window that the landlord had just installed not that long ago was now covered in a layer of white ash and the glass was filled with cracks and covered in dust.
The computer beside his bed was also covered by cobwebs and was accompanied by an empty water glass with a withered worm inside of it.
Dust filled the air making Wei Xiao Bei choke as he tried to breathe.
Everything seemed to be ash gray without any light as if looking at television static.
After just one night, it seemed like everything in the room had aged for centuries or even millennia.
Mother… is this a dream?
This must be a dream!

Chapter 7 – Secret Room in the Martial Library

 Ran is living at the inn for this whole year, because his hometown, the household of Ximen is located near the border of crome city. The main business of his household is farming, and the border of crome city is the perfect place to grow crops.
He needs to attend at the Crome Academy Institute as a student, that's why it's necessary to live in the inn for now.
Ran abruptly wake up by a sudden pain in his left eye, the eye is beating like his heart, every beat is like a needle piercing his eye. When he tried to open it, every object became transparent. Every move of his surroundings is like in slow motion. He can even see some particles of the air.
When he looks at his window, he can clearly see the people walking by, but everyone is just made of bones, and internal organs, no cloth, and no skin. 
The red glow on his left eye pupil is getting brighter and brighter.
 'ohhhhh no.. I have to increase my cultivation immediately! Or else my left eye will slowly kill me!, my body is too powerless to handle its power. Tskkkk this is not even its power, it's nothing, but my body reacted immediately just for this tskk, im too weak!'
When the pain subsides, he immediately gets up, and makes his way at the Martial Arts Library.
'Sorry Pao Lu and Jun De, I'll go first to the library without waiting you two. Since our schedule will be tomorrow, then I can still go without a problem, first thing first, I need to increase my cultivation!
Ran quickly moves forward to the library.
Martial Arts Library of chrome city was an important ground for everyone, and heavily guarded every day, it had collections of different martial skills gathered and preserved over unknown years. They were used to help those of later generations, hoping to raise a genius, and to keep the city in power.
Ran before ascending the heaven was always in the library every time. He loves to read book, to explore everyplace he didn't know, and to cultivate his power to the peak. 
'Back before leaving chrome city, I discover a secret room in the first floor of the library, and got my first treasure. After getting benefits from it, I intentionally leave it just like before I discovered it. Hoping for another genius to change his destiny, never to imagine I'll come back again for this treasure. 
Before I didn't fully utilize the treasure, because of lack of knowledge, and I admit, I have slight regret at the time, but now…'
Looking at the library Ran started to enter at the first floor by paying his rent fee. He rent 5 hours and paid 100 Saint coins
Rent fee depends on the time of your rental. If you rent for 30mins you can pay 10 saint coins (the name of the money circulating at the city), if you rent for an hour then you will pay double. Nobody can take out the book; instead they are obligated to read the book inside the library. This is all for security reason, the lord of the city values this library too much.
In the first floor there was a large quantity of martial arts, but most of them were low ranked, with a few middle ranked martial book.

The second floor apparently had the city's secret and traditional techniques. Most of them were of mid rank, there were even some few high ranked martial books there! However, to enter the second floor one needed one to be at least at the Silver Fourth Rank Saint Spiritualist 
And the third floor was just a rumor, as it had never been publicly opened…
Ran stood at one of the bookshelf near the corner of the first floor of the library, then after examining his surrounding making sure no one is close to him. Ran slide one of the book tilted, then the another book, then again another book. All of this books is very old but beautifully maintained, no one wants to read it, because nobody can understand the language use to create the book.
Before, Ran curiosity, make him discover a secret room using this method.
 Then he slowly move backward not minding the wall at all. 
When his body touch the wall, he immediately disappeared like there's no wall at all. Then the book that was tilted back to normal on their own.
