With the jade tag in hand, Rong Kaixuan looked ahead with a bright gleam in his eyes.

A huge bookshelf was in front of him. There was nothing but those inch-thick manuals on that huge bookshelf.

Even though the number of manuals seemed a little pathetic compared to how huge the entire bookshelf was, this was already the largest collection of manuals Rong Kaixuan had ever seen.

On this story, there were two bookshelves within the same room.

One bookshelf had nearly a hundred Level 1 low-grade spell manuals while the other had more than 20 Level 1 high-grade spell manuals.

One bookshelf was on the left, and the other was on the right. There was a clear separation between them.

Rong Kaixuan got very excited. He had never dreamed that he could look upon so many manuals at once.

When Wang Xiaoxiao was guiding him in the process of cultivating Spirit Power, she had allowed him to read manuals. But she always only took out one manual at a time.

Besides Rong Kaixuan, there were three others seated quietly to one side of the library.

Rong Kaixuan was no stranger to them. They were Spiritualists who often cultivated Spirit Power in the courtyard like him.

When they saw Rong Kaixuan in the library, they had question marks on their faces.

After nodding at one another as a form of greeting, the three of them looked away. They continued to watch Rong Kaixuan from the corners of their eyes.

After that, they saw something that shocked them.

Rong Kaixuan stretched a hand out and tapped on one of the low-grade manuals on the shelf.

A faint glow flashed across his body. This slight glow seemed to correspond with a lock of sorts on the bookshelf and got rid of the lock.

As a result, Rong Kaixuan was able to easily take this manual down from the shelf.

The three Spiritualists reading manuals by the side felt their eyelids twitch. They wondered how this fellow managed to do that. Had he already been given access to the Manuals Library?

According to the rules of the Hall of Spiritualists in the Rong clan, disciples whose Spirit Power had not reached Advanced Stage Spiritualist level were not allowed into the Manuals Library. Even if an Advanced Stage Spiritualist was allowed into the Manuals Library, the things they could read would be greatly restricted. For example, they would only be allowed to read the manuals of the Spirit Power type they had and nothing else. Even if they wanted a book, they were unable to take it from the bookshelf themselves. One of the librarians in the Manuals Library had to do it for them.

Now, Rong Kaixuan was able to enter the library and could even take a manual by himself. They had seen clearly that the glow from Rong Kaixuan was the power that unlocked the manual, which meant that he had a protective jade tag on himself. That was something that only the librarians in charge of cleaning and overseeing the library had.

Rong Kaixuan had no idea about any of these things. He held the manual in his hands with great excitement and sat down in an empty seat within the room.

He had chosen a water element Level 1 low-grade spell manual. It was titled "Flowing Water Waves." It was a spell that gathered an immense amount of water element from the Spirit Power of Heaven and Earth to form a force that was like a wall of water to attack an enemy. This spell did not only have the extraordinary ability to attack enemies, but it was also incredibly effective at confusing enemies.

Rong Kaixuan opened the manual and let his Spirit Power flow out. Mysterious and incomprehensible lines instantly appeared in the manual.

The way Spiritualists passed on their techniques was different from Martial Artists in that Spiritualists were unable to write their techniques down in words.

Everything that appeared in a manual was strange and unfathomable. For those without Spirit Power, all these things were just a mess of drawings. They wouldn't be able to understand anything. Even Spiritualists who did not have a sufficient gift in this area had to spend a huge amount of energy and a very long time to fully understand all the mysterious lines and waves.

Spiritualists were extremely powerful, but the amount of energy and time spent on cultivation was way more than a Martial Artist at the same stage.

Rong Kaixuan slightly narrowed his eyes as he read through the manual without even blinking. The Spirit Power in his body also seemed to move along as he read the manual.

After a few moments, he exhaled deeply and closed his eyes.

The three others in the room exchanged glances and were puzzled by that. Why did this fellow suddenly decide to close his eyes? Was it because he couldn't understand a single thing in the manual?

Rong Kaixuan had already sent his Divine Sense into the middle of the little round ball in between his eyebrows.

There were six shadows inside. They represented the Special Spirit Body Fighter and five elemental Spirit Body Spellcasters.

He connected with the water element Spirit Body Spiritualist and sent it all the contents of Flowing Water Waves that he had just read.

The Spirit Body Spellcaster that was slowly walking along in the deep mountains far away from Rong Kaixuan stopped walking.

It stood there for a few moments. It suddenly seemed to have understood something, so it started walking quickly to go deeper into the mountains.

Rong Kaixuan was the one who evoked all six of them, but their fortunes and treatment received were very different from one another.

The Spirit Body Fighter, as well as the wood element and fire element Spirit Body Spellcasters, were already quite formidable. So, they had gathered deeper in the mountains earlier. They did not travel together, but they were aware of each other and could take care of one another.

The other three elemental Spirit Body Spellcasters were a bit of a tragedy.

They didn't know any powerful basic spells. They only knew one simple improved version of a Spirit Power Bounce.

Even though the amount of energy within them was no less than their fire and wood element buddies, they were much poorer in terms of fighting ability. As a result, they had no choice but to remain further out from the mountain and didn't dare go deeper into the mountain range.

Things were now different. The water element Spirit Body Spellcaster had received a good spell and was now like a tiger with wings to fly. It wasn't going to stick around and wait outside the mountain anymore.

There was a faint smile on Rong Kaixuan's lips. He felt it happening.

There seemed to be a competitiveness between these Spirit Bodies. Even though they were all individually sentient and aware of doing things within their own limits, if they could find a way to become better than another Spirit Body, none of them would give up that chance.

A few moments later, the water element Spellcaster ran into a leopard.

This particular leopard wasn't an ordinary animal. The pattern on its fur resembled gold coins and emanated a mysterious sort of energy. The energy was constantly interacting with the energy of the universe.

The air around it made it clear that this was definitely a Magical Beast.

Of course, since it was roaming around outside the mountains, it was a low-level Magical Beast.

The leopard cautiously eyed the water element Spirit Body Spellcaster. The pattern on its fur suddenly increased in size and started to absorb the Spirit Power of Heaven and Earth much more quickly than before.

At the same time, its fur started to tremble violently. It was as if it was being blown by the wind and didn't stop at all.

After that, the leopard suddenly became a shadow as it pounced toward the Water element Spirit Body Spellcaster. Its speed was so quick that it was almost impossible to outrun it. It was certainly no slower than the Spirit Body Fighter.

Then again, all Spirit Bodies were the strongest and most fearless warriors in the world.

The water element Spirit Body Spellcaster lifted a hand and tapped the air in front of it. A bunch of mysterious waves instantly appeared in the air as if even the air was obeying the Spirit Body Spellcaster. There was now a circle of a faint but constant pool of ripples.

The leopard's gaze was ferocious but cautious. It immediately stopped and wanted to go around its opponent at a speed faster.

Nobody was going to see a trap laid in front of him and walk in, so neither was a Magical Beast going to do that.

Its instinct told it that the area where the spell was effective was very dangerous and it should not go anywhere near it.

Just when the leopard changed directions, the water element Spirit Body Spellcaster seemed to have realized what it was trying to do.

The Spirit Body Spellcaster lightly tapped the ripples. The constant flow of ripples immediately exploded with a pak sound. Once the Spirit Body touched the Flowing Water Waves, it just exploded in the air.

A huge amount of water element energy was dispersed. The entire leopard was instantly drenched.

Roar!

The leopard angrily roared. The roar was filled with both anger and fear.

It was a Magical Beast, but because it was a low-level one, it was only slightly more powerful than an ordinary wild animal.

After being attacked, it instantly became furious. It roared as it pounced toward the Spirit Body without caring about anything else.

Its huge body ended up going right through the Spirit Body and crashed hard into a large tree that was behind the Spirit Body.

Its body had actually gone through its enemy. It was as if the enemy in front of it was nothing but an apparition that didn't actually exist.

The impact of the crash made its head spin. The terrifying energy of the water element waves crashed down on it from the sky once again.

The figure of the Spirit Body Spellcaster appeared in a different place.

The attacking power of Flowing Water Waves wasn't that high, but it was excellent at confusing any enemy. Even a powerful human cultivator would have lost himself in that mysterious energy, never mind a Magical Beast that wasn't very powerful.

The ripples hit the leopard's body one after another. Each time a ripple hit the leopard, it would try to break the leopard's body apart. There was now a crack in that precious fur, which had a pattern that looked like gold coins.

It started to feel scared and wanted to escape.

It suddenly realized that it had now entered an extremely eerie sort of place. No matter which direction it chose to run, it would strangely run into a large tree in the forest.

If there was someone else watching this scene, the person would have seen what was really happening. He would also have been shocked to discover that this Magical Beast was basically ramming itself against the same large tree again and again.

When this large tree was about to topple from being rammed into repeatedly, the Magical Beast had also nearly used all its strength.

Its body was covered with fresh blood, and its beautiful leopard fur had cuts everywhere. Its body collapsed weakly onto the ground. It was on the brink of death.

The water element Spirit Body Spellcaster glanced at the leopard with its soulless eyes. It tapped on the air in front of it. The water element ripples appeared once more.

After a few moments, this high and mighty Magical Beast that called itself the king of this area had died just like that.

Before dying, it sent out a terrifying air into the atmosphere. All the wild animals nearby started to run for their lives and didn't dare go anywhere near the area.

Back inside the library, Rong Kaixuan felt his heart pounding wildly. His face was starting to pale a little. He opened his eyes. Both his face and gaze looked terribly exhausted.

Even his exhausted-looking eyes couldn't hide the intense excitement he felt inside.
