C85 March
Due to being grounded for three months, Qin Yuan could only stay in the library every day.
Fortunately, there were a lot of books on martial arts worth looking at. Fighting with Ah Cat also added a lot of fun.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye. Qin Yuan had finally mastered the last book in the Compendium Pavilion. However, due to the lack of time for cultivation and Qin Yuan's deliberate suppression, his cultivation level was still stuck at one star Martial Master.
"A total of more than 1000 books … You actually finished it just like that? " Mao Mao was filled with suspicion as he clearly did not believe that Qin Yuan could grasp so many theories in such a short period of time.
Qin Yuan smiled confidently and said, "I've long since become familiar with most of the theories in these books when I was young. Afterwards, Li Qingzhi helped me correct some of them, so these days, I've only been replenishing my knowledge."
Ah Cat still did not believe him. Even so, there were more than a thousand books here. It would be impossible for him to finish them all in one go.
Noticing Mao's doubtful gaze, Qin Yuan added, "What, have you never heard of ten lines at a glance? It's so photographic?"
"I believe you, damn you!" Ah Cat cut him off and said, "Unless you prove it to me! Tell me, the first book you read, yes, that's the one on the theory of dual cultivation. What were the characteristics of the two people whose left legs were entangled in the first painting? "
"Three blue lines, one red line, eight dots. Am I right? " Qin Yuan answered without even thinking.
"You … "What a monster!" Ah Cat opened his mouth and finally closed it with great difficulty. He then asked, "Then, what are your plans after this?"
Qin Yuan put the last book back on the shelf and organized his thoughts, saying, "Besides normal cultivation, my immediate goal is to learn the secret technique 'One Person, One Thousand Faces' from Li Qingzhi, making it much easier for me to carry out my tasks in the future. Second, I'll try to cultivate the sword art 'Sword Break Soul' that Ling'er mentioned; third, I'll listen to the theory of the Saint Seal Department and become an official Saint Seal Master."
"What about the long-term goal?"
"Long term, huh …" Qin Yuan recalled the scene of his father abandoning his dignity to endure the humiliation below his crotch. He clenched his fist and said, "Naturally, it is to exterminate the Bai Clan!"
As long as the Bai Clan did not perish, the Qin Clan would never rise again. The clansmen could only live in exile. Moreover, if this dragged on for too long, would the next generation still bear such a deep grudge?
"Someone is coming. "Two are 1-star Martial Masters and one is a 2-star Martial Master." Qin Yuan suddenly felt the Martial Master realm's reaction and whispered to Ah Mao.
Ah Cat stood up from his chair and looked at the door of the library warily. "Who could it be? Could it be that Liu Dao brought people to cause trouble again? "
Qin Yuan shook his head. "Last time I defeated Liu Pinnan, Liu Dao wouldn't be so stupid as to look for people below 3-star Martial Master."
At this moment, Qin Yuan felt the two Martial Masters arrive at the door of the Compendium Pavilion. A familiar voice was heard, "Brother Qin, it's us."
This voice is... Mausoleum?
Qin Yuan and Ah Cat looked at each other and lowered their guard at the same time. They walked up to the entrance of the Compendium Pavilion together and saw Zhan Ling, He Dan and He Qing Qing walking in side by side.
"It's been a few days. Zhan Ling, Dan, Qing Qing, your realms …" Qin Yuan said in pleasant surprise.
Zhan Ling smiled humbly, "However, breaking through by luck is nothing."
"Thanks to the academy's rich Supreme Force and the help from the Illusory Dream Tower." He Dandan also smiled.
After two months of being together, Qin Yuan and the other two had long become friends. Because Qin Yuan was grounded, the three of them would come to the Compendium Pavilion every few days to visit him and spar with each other to discuss martial theories.
"Illusory Dream Tower …" "What is it?" This was the first time Qin Yuan had heard of this term.
"The Dreamscape Tower is the best place to train your combat ability in the academy," he explained. Within the pagoda, a martial artist could enter into the dreamland and fight with all sorts of martial artists and demonic beasts. Even if they died in battle, they wouldn't receive any real damage. "Not only that, but passing the Dream Pagoda would allow you to gain points and exchange for resources within the academy."
"After today, you must experience the lifting of your restraining order!" Zhan Ling patted Qin Yuan on the shoulder and changed the subject. "Right, let's spar again. How about it?"
Seeing Zhan Ling's eager look, Qin Yuan also felt his hands itch. He took out a large sword from his Universe Ring and skillfully brandished it into a ray of sword light. He said, "Of course I'll accompany you!"
It wasn't that Zhan Ling hadn't sparred with Qin Yuan before, but every battle ended in defeat. Now that their realms had increased, he had dragged He Dan and He Dan to find Qin Yuan to verify their combat prowess after their realms had increased.
However, after 20 rounds, Zhan Ling bitterly smiled as he threw away his new sword and said, "You've won …" Still twenty rounds. It's clear that our realms are already far apart, so how am I going to withstand another round? "
Qin Yuan kept his broadsword and laughed heartily, "After all, I can improve myself too. However, with Brother Zhan's amazing cultivation speed, I'm afraid that before long, I will no longer be a match for you. "
Zhan Ling punched Qin Yuan and jokingly scolded him, "Come on, you'll look hypocritical if you continue to be modest! We've agreed that we'll spar with you in the future, and you still have to fight with all of your strength. "
The few of them chatted and laughed as they returned to the Compendium Pavilion. They ate the pastries personally made by He Qing Qing. It felt really good!
Unbeknownst to him, it was already afternoon. Zhan LingTian looked at the setting sun outside and began to talk about the important matters.
"Qin Yuan, we came to find you today to first tell you about the news of me and Dan Dan's advancement, and secondly, to tell you something about the Bai Clan."
Qin Yuan withdrew his smile when he heard the words "Bai Clan". Qin Yuan had already roughly told the three of them about the grudge between the Qin and Bai Families.
Qin Yuan said seriously, "Brother Zhan, please speak."
Zhan Ling sorted out his thoughts and started from the topic at macro-level, "Brother Qin should know that whether it is a big man or a big Chu, they all belong to the territory of Mo Continent. The Bai Clan was one of the four great powers of Mozhou, and its branches were spread throughout the countries of the Mozhou. As for the other three forces, the Merak Sword Sect does not wish to interact with any of them alone. The execution platform does not have the ability to expand the scope of the assassination organization's influence. The only thing that can balance the Bai family is the Karmic Valley. "
Qin Yuan nodded and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the big man's royal family has the support of the Fiery Blaze Valley, right?"
"That's right," He Dandan sighed, looking a little desolate: "In Mo Continent, which country is truly independent, and does not have a history like theirs? "Even though the burly man did not submit to the Flame Volcano, who knows how much he sacrificed in exchange for the support of the Flame Volcano …"
He Qing Qing silently patted her sister's back.
Zhan LingTian continued: "Although the Bai Clan is not something that the Darkhan Kingdom can fight against, with the Eternal Fire Valley, we can still contend against the larger branches of the Bai Clan. It's just that, in recent years, the Bai Clan's big man branch has become more and more powerful. That's why, we need more powerhouses to join us. "
"Brother Zhan can't be trying to pull me in, right?"
