Alex finally come inside. He goes to the elder in the counter first before checking the inside later. The elder has long white hair and long white beard. Even though wrinkle fills his aged face, it doesn't hide his experienced face which full of wisdom.
"Token" The Elder only said that without any expression.
Alex isn't surprised by his action, though. After taking care of people who came inside this pavilion for so long. It's normal for him to be like that. Alex takes out his token and give it to him politely. "Here is the token, Elder."
"Your time limit is 2 hours, and you can only take one book out. You can start now, after you finished your time limit, hurry up, and get out. Don't make me use my hands to get you out. And...no fight in here" Said the elder while giving him a golden token.
"Yes." Alex nods his head as he receives his tokens. He thought this token must be an identity card.
Now he finally checks the interior of Martial Arts Pavilion. It is really like a big public library on Earth. Books are everywhere inside this building. And there are a few writing in each book racks. 'Sword', 'Spear', 'Bow', and so on.
And the place itself is very long, it is to accommodate the section. There is a wall that separates each section. But Alex feels something wrong on the entrance. He feels there is an invisible barrier in the entrance. He has confirmed it with his Spirit Eyes. But the section he currently at is only providing Yellow Tier Arts. He needs at least a high Profound Tier Art if not Earth Profound Tier.
So, he walked toward the second section, He examined the invisible barrier first. He was a bit disappointed because he didn't manage to find anything in the barrier. He thought it was an array, but sadly, it was not like he expected at all. It was only a barrier made by Spiritual Energy.
As for whose Spiritual Energy it was? The answer was obvious, The elder in front continuously supplies the barrier with his own Spiritual Energy. Alex can see it with his Spirit Eyes. The Elder isn't a nobody, it seems. But for the time being, Alex needs to find a Martial Art for him.
He searched for a book in the 'Spear Section'. This is the reason why he rejected the two senior sisters earlier. He didn't need any Sword Art at the moment, even if he needs, he can copy them from others. No need to go such a length to choose them from this pavilion. After all, unlike his spear, he has Sword Mastery which can help him for that.
Currently, he has two High Profound Tier Sword Art, along with one Heaven Tier Skill, which he can't fully use it at the moment because of cultivation base restriction. As for Earth Tier Sword Art... He can copy them from Song Yu...probably. For now, he needs a Spear Art. His only useful Spear Art at the moment is only his Luminous Spear Technique. He didn't have anything than that. As for Spear Throwing Art...before the System can recover his spear automatically, it wasn't that useful for continuous usage. Or maybe, he should search Rank 2 Spear in the gacha? After all, he can get Rank 2 Spear from normal gacha. As for the tickets, it should be a few hundred tickets by now from Leoz's continuous killing and his effort inside the Battle Tower.
He is pondering whether he should level up his other Spirits or not. They can help in gathering more tickets. But the problem is if they were spotted by others, they won't have any strength to protect themselves. So he thought about achieving Grandmaster Stage first before start leveling up them.
He really hopes the System can automatically recover his thrown spear faster. That way, he can snipe all the people in his sight again and again, like a sniper. If not, he just a gunner with limited bullets. Of course, if he has a large number of spears, it would be a different case.
He searched Profound Tier Spear Arts for a while, but he didn't find anything that interests him. He looked at the Earth Tier Section while muttering. "Should I go?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe is thinking about the consequences of coming to the Earth Section. After all, there are many people inside. And according to his Spirit Eyes, those people are at least Grandmaster Stage. But, since he is under the protection of a Core Disciple, They should be able to protect him.
And that's right, the moment he just about to enter, the people start looking at him.
"Look, a 5-Star Martial Master want to enter the Earth Section"
"Who is he?"
"He must be a new disciple because he is ignorant."
"That's right, he must not know the rule. How can he have enough point to enter that place."
"Let we see his embarrassed face when the barrier stop him from entering"
The comments didn't come only from the people in Profound Section, it came from the people in the Earth Section too. Alex furrowed his eyebrows, why people love to become a busybody. He steps on the barrier pretty easily, and without any restriction, he passed through the barrier.
"What? He managed to enter the Earth Section?"
"Who is he? How can he have that many points?"
"He must have a tutor."
"Yeah, that's right."
"Will he report us to his tutor?"
The people in Profound Section are starting to get afraid, their lips tremble, and their face becomes pale. After all, the majority of people in the Profound Tier is like him, a Martial Master. A tutor in the sect is at least a Martial Grandmaster, after all, they need to be at least an Inner Disciple.
Different from the people in Profound Section, the people in the Earth section suddenly stop talking about him and back to their business. Of course, there is still someone who held some malicious intent toward him. Not fearing 'his tutor'. They didn't know who is his tutor, after all. They are thinking about robbing him of his points.
Alex felt their intention too since they didn't bother to hide their intention. But the sect point should be safe for now since it is in the hand of the elder in front. After he went out, they will only meet his two senior sisters, Song Yu and Putri Wulan. Alex didn't see any Martial Lord inside so the people who will try to rob him, must have a bad end.
Alex started searching for his Spear Art. Thousand Spears, Elemental Spear, Spear of Thousand Sorrow, Emotionless Spear Art, and many others. Alex also found the 'Quick Silver' that Putri used in her first move back in the Battle Tower. It is like an upgraded Luminous Spear Technique. After searching for quite a while, he finally found two spear arts that suit him.
'Bear Sovereign' and 'Silver Raven'. He was confused about which one to choose since he can only bring one with him. From their description, both of them suit him
Bear Sovereign is a partially offensive and partially defensive Spear Art that focuses on exhausting your opponent by constantly shifting both your and your opponent's center of gravity. The primary focus lies on the open stance technique. Its biggest strength is the mastery of your body's strongest points. By manipulating the sheer strength of yourself, your opponent has no choice but to change their stance, giving you the opportunity to gain the upper hand. Unfortunately, the biggest weakness is the complex movement that requires a great deal of mastery.
Silver Raven is a strictly offensive spear art that focuses on overpowering your opponent by converting the energy and momentum of your own. The primary focus lies on both knee strikes and speed, and it often relies on agility and endurance. The biggest strength of Silver Raven is wielding a great power by profiting from the sheer strength of yourself, not your spear. On the other hand, the biggest weakness of this technique is that many moves are predictable to a knowledgeable opponent. If you face an opponent who knows your tricks, you'll have to rely on a different bag of tricks. Of course, this weakness can be removed if he pairs it with his unpredictable step, 'Fleeting Step'.
Alex has decided. Since both of them are High Earth Tier spear art, he will pick the 'Bear Sovereign' home with him. It doesn't mean he is ready to part with the Silver Raven. Since it is pretty easy to understand Silver Raven. Alex tried to understand the Silver Raven here. "I only have an hour. If I have a spear mastery, it wouldn't even take an hour to understand martial arts like this. Sigh..."
But, to his surprise. It seems his comprehension speed in spear is also boosted. It was most likely after that golden lightning tribulation. He thought the golden lightning only increased his understanding of spear, but it seems that's not all. The golden lightning also boosted his comprehension speed in spear. And the Silver Raven itself isn't that hard to comprehend. Finally, before his time limit finished, he finally understood the essence of Martial Arts, with this, he can progress accordingly.
After that, he slowly put the book inside the rack before leaving the Martial Arts Pavilion. Alex brought the 'Bear Sovereign' to the elder. "Elder, I will choose this book."
When the elder looks at the book, he is surprised. He looks at Alex, who only a 5-Star Martial Master. And sighs inwardly. 'Haiz, a young man, but I won't advise you to change so you can learn from this experience not to overestimate yourself.'
"You can bring the book for two months, the rent cost a thousand sect points. Any question?"
"No" Alex only shoo his head. The elder took out his sect points out of his token. Now he only has 1395 sect points left, but to others, it still a lot.
In the meantime, on the outside. Song Yu and Putri are still waiting for him before suddenly a red haired young man comes.
"Oh, I never thought I could meet my goddess Song Yu here. Have you considered my offer? You and I are matched by Heaven. Just agree to be my woman. I'm the son of the thirteenth Elder, and I can be the Sect Master in a few decades, my talent is higher than those Core Disciple, and only you can match my talent. If you agree to be my woman, you won't need to worry about the rest of your life."
The blonde hair appearance is like a young man in their early twenty. He is fifty years old 4-Star Martial Lord. While most people in the sect need at least seventy years to reach 4-Star Martial Lord. That's why he said he is the one that most likely to become a Sect Master. He tried to gently stroke Song Yu's hair
She brushed his hand. "Shut Up! We are not a match, You are already 50 years old, you are far older than me, It's you who are not my match. It's just your l.u.s.t saying that, not the Heaven. Izak, don't speak rubbish."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe ignored her and then went to Putri. "Ara, isn't this Junior Sister Putri, you are as beautiful as ever. How about you help me convince your Senior Sister to become my woman. I would accept you as my concubine if you managed to convince your Senior Sister to become my wife."
"Putri, Make a distance. I will cut this Bast*rd into pieces." Song Yu said while releasing her aura.
Putri seems very used to this, she immediately backs down to the side. This pest in front of her is a playboy. But because he managed to keep his track well, not much evidence can be seen. If they have proof that can slap his face, they could attack him proactively.
"You are just a playboy. Don't know how many women you have played with."
"Oh, How can you say that to your Husband? Show me the proof first before saying that" Izak said while releasing his own aura.
Both of aura clashed and managed to create a shock wave. After all, both of them are Martial Lord.
Alex, who is currently packing his book inside the pavilion, also felt the aura. When the shock wave was charging toward them, the elder only wave his hand to create a spiritual barrier to block it.
After that, he checked what just happened and found his Senior Sister, Song Yu, is fighting a man. Alex saw Putri on the side, so he came to her.
"Senior Sister, what happens? Who is that guy?"
"That guy is Senior Sister number one pursuer, Izak Qinde. He is a playboy who played with many women. But he keeps his track well, so we can't attack him aggressively." She said while gritting her teeth. "Anyway, you have picked something?"
Alex nodded to her question.
"That's good, If you have any question regarding your cultivation or martial arts, you can ask Senior Sister Song Yu or me. We will try our best to help you." Putri said.
She didn't ask what he picked. She only said she would help him no matter what he picks, Alex smiled a bit. He know, they will support him wholeheartedly even though he is new.
"Should we help her?" He asked.
"I wanted to, but I don't have the ability to do so, and It's frustrating." Putri shakes her head bitterly.
Alex thought for a bit. A plan flashed in his mind the moment she said evidence. But after confirming their intention on him, Alex was moved. It seems he will help them this time. Evil smile creep on his mouth.
