บท 8: Shocking Discovery
After reporting his absence, Li Fenshuang could finally take a leisurely walk. These few days have been too tiring. It was only now that he could find time to relax.
He also got his monthly recuperation allowance.
Because of the threats of extraterrestrials, mankind was as united as ever. Except for a few dregs like those mysterious organizations, the bureaucracy of the government is pretty much organized. There are no more confiscations between each line of work.
As a result, it could support people with insufficient opportunities or funds. Although the amount was not much, it was enough for Li Fenshuang to pay for his needs this month.
As long as he's not careless with his money, he's pretty much secure. Unfortunately, the previous allowance was wasted on his suicidal self to buy some stupid things, instead of being saved for more important needs. Li Fenshuang grimaced.
Of course, this kind of support was only for those who haven't finished their education yet. For adults, the government only gave them opportunities like job vacancies and such. If they don't take it, they can only blame themselves.
Next, Li Fenshuang planned to visit a local library and use public computers. What he lacked the most was one: Information!
Not to mention certain forces and organizations he must know; he doesn't even know the basics about the martial realm!
He hastily asked a couple of bystanders nearby, but it was obvious by their embarrassed face that they never visited it. It was only when he asked a police officer nearby that he understood.
"Turns out, the public library was near the vicinity of my school."
He was not far from the Jin High School. It only took a few minutes before he found the library. He was shocked when the building came into his view.
It was at least a hundred meters tall! Just a rural town, yet the public library was already this big. Li Fenshuang's gaze turned hot. What could possibly be stored in this massive place?
He couldn't imagine just how big the National Library would be, not to mention the International Library!
Fortunately, his student card was etched with many useful privileges, and entering the public library was one of them.
After confirming his identity with the person in charge, he entered the library. Inside, his breath became hitched. There are myriads of massive shelves, and between them, there was a gap for visitors to go and read the books.
What's interesting was the board hanging on each self that showed the content inside the shelf. Li Fenshuang must read it twice before he realized that the words on each board were actually real.
"Monsters on Planet Han?"
"History of Planet Tang? What?"
He was absolutely dumbstruck. Not only that, the shelves that stretched above, all the way to the top of the building, which was a hundred meters tall, were filled with similar content! Only the name of the world would differ.
This time, it was even worse. It took over 20 minutes before he snapped out of his trance.
"This... Is unbelievable!"
Li Fenshuang exhaled out in awe. So this is why the library was so big. There are just too many things that must be covered.
And this is just a public library in a mere town!
"I've underestimated this alternative reality!"
It was much bigger than he imagined.
Although reluctant, he finally withdrew his gaze from the amazing view and went to search for the computers.
After finding a vacant seat with a computer, he sat immediately and entered his ID to have access to the computer. Thus, he began to search for relevant information with a serious expression.
It was only when a few hours had passed that he leaned on the chair and sighed.
"Foreigners outside the Blue Planet... The United Planets of Xan Nebula... The top geniuses of Xan Nebula..."
There are just too many things. Too many spectacular, unbelievable things he just discovered.
Mankind was no longer alone. No, perhaps it could be said that it was too crowded! There are at least hundreds, thousands of planets with civilization that had contacted Earth in the past.
For the foreigners, Earth is the Blue Planet, considering its iconic blue shade if observed from afar.
Since the extraterrestrials invaded, strange creatures with sentients from these civilizations began to appear. They met with the representatives of the Blue Planet and formed a consensus, along with other agreements.
It occurred two hundred years ago. As of now, the media have covered the contents of the current nebula, and even other nebulas have been visited.
There's also some surprising news.
"Matters outside the Blue Planet absolutely cannot be discussed if there are non-masters nearby. So that's why my classmates who have entered the Martial Realm refrained themselves from talking about it."
Some of his classmates have yet to enter the 1st Stage Martial Realm.
In the first place, the reason he could access all of this information was because of his student card.
The officials, understanding his prowess through the preliminary match earlier, would surely put additional information into his identity. That's why he could gain access to search for these pieces of information.
The computer also required his ID to be used, along with his password. Li Fenshuang couldn't help but be amazed. So many things happened without him knowing.
Mankind has not wasted the opportunity to grow in the past 200 years.
Li Fenshuang opened some media outlets in interest. He clicked a random video in his untouched feed. Inside, a random man could be seen vlogging on a foreign planet with blue sun and red sky.
"Guys, you can look behind me. These are the citizens of the Pon Planet. Sir, could you give us an introduction?"
"Greetings, my fellow friends from Blue Planet. As you can see, our planet is blessed with abundant energy in the form of heat..."
After scrolling for more than an hour, Li Fenshuang finally stopped. He was distracted just now.
"I need to understand the Martial Realms!"
Feeling ashamed because of his neglect, Li Fenshuang furiously searches for all kinds of information regarding the Martial Realms. Another hour has passed. By the time he finished searching, it was already 6 pm.
Most people have already left. The only people left were the cleaners responsible for the daily maintenance of the library.
It was worth mentioning that this public library was only for the Martial Masters. Perhaps the police noticed his exaggerated physique and judged him as a Martial Master which is why he ended up here.
As for the ordinary people, they have their own library.
Under the polite reminder of a cleaner, Li Fenshuang exited the library in high spirits. The information was lacking, but at least he understood the destination.
"A Martial Master is someone who trained his existence to the peak!"
"1st to 4th stage focused on training the muscles and the skin, which the Basic Scripture could cover. It was only when one broke into the 5th stage that they began to focus on their spirituality. In this stage, the brain's functionality would be increased tenfold, reaching a superhuman rate of thinking."
It was actually quite simple. Obviously, the information posted on public was intentionally made to be simple. If it was so concise and intricate, what's the point of personal trainers and masters?
"As for information about the 9th stage, it wasn't out to the public. Only certain forces, such as the Green Dragon Sect and the Myriad Plane of Races, have it."
The mentioned forces above have already reached the level where they transcended planets, and the nebula was their main ground. Their branches scattered across the Xan Nebula, and in Blue Planet, they existed.
The 8th Martial Realm has already reached the peak of a planet. For further information, he either has to transcend his planet, or join one of the Transcendent Forces.
What concerned him the most was the extraterrestrials.
Many are not sure where exactly they came from, but they appeared from the 'wormholes' that appeared due to unknown reasons. It was because of a wormhole that appeared near the Blue Planet that mankind was exposed to these creatures.
According to the forces that have been exposed to the extraterrestrials thousands of years earlier, it has always been like that. The main hint a wormhole would appear is the sudden increment in gravity at the location.
The problem was the fact that a solar system was too large, not to mention a nebula, which spanned hundreds of light years. Even though several devices have been created to spot a brewing wormhole, how could it cover the vastness of a nebula?
Although he wasn't sure how powerful the experts above the 8th stage could be, it was obvious that they were insufficient to detect the growing wormholes.
"Huh, I have arrived."
With his head full of thoughts, he didn't realize that he already arrived. The familiar form of his dilapidated house greeted him. Although it was unsatisfactory, it did bring a sense of comfort.
No matter what, this is his home.
Li Fenshuang put aside all of his worries. A small figure like him is not qualified yet to be worried about them. He entered his home, took a quick bath, and put on his comfortable clothes.
He used the remaining time to either recall his notes or train his body with the Basic Scripture. His feeling told him that the next breakthrough in the scripture would come just right before the Final Examination takes place.
"Reaching the 3rd Stage before the exam seems wistful."
Although his comprehension has been multiplied by over a hundred times, without the enhancement from his second talent, it could only be counted as a Good talent in his interface.
It was already good enough for him, who possessed the Weakest talent.
In this session, he was more focused on studying the notes. With the enhancement from the Dedicated Grinder, he's confident he could master the subjects in just a night of studying.
He wasn't worried about his Martial Realm being insufficient. At the very least, he could get a decent result. Coupled with his mastery over the unordinary battle skills, he's confident that he could be undeterred, as long as no unreasonable monsters appear.
Surely, those monsters have been pouched by famous universities long ago. Why would they need to go through such a troublesome procedure?
His mind was at ease, and he leisurely continued his study.
