Within the Next whole week, Altima lock himself within the Alchemy Practicing Room, painstakingly Concocting Pills and conducting research on the Material available within his inventory for a New recipe. Through the assistance from Mobi's Interface, Altima is getting close to create a new Cultivating resource, but with the library of resources and Compatibility type still insufficient, Altima currently still have a long way to go.
After the total 1,000 Portion of Balancing Zen Pills is Concocted, and receiving a results of 455 success among 1,000 Portions, Altima quickly proceed to the Trade and Exchange department, and Trade in the total amount of 400 to the department, thus receiving a total of 64,000 contribution point and a total of 400 Portion of Balancing Zen Pill Ingredients.
"Kid, had you visit the Martial Hall yet to receive two martial arts within the Martial Library ?", The staff questioned Altima, seeing him not practicing any martial arts belonged to the Thousand Members Guild.
"Not Yet, Senior. Is there a restriction time I must learn before it is voided ?", Altima replied the staff question, politely.
"There is no time limit when you need to learn the martial arts, but the Competition for the Top 10 Young Cultivator in Hundred Miles Town will starts soon, within 3 Month from now.", The Staff continued.
"What is the benefit for being amongst the Top 10 ?", Altima continues with his questions.
"Being within the Top 10 gives you a total of 1,000 Balancing Zen Pills Each Month to cultivate, along with One Spirit Weapon you're compatible with, and Lastly, You will be giving the commanding tag, which allows you to lead a total of 500 Warrior Practitioner of Zen Soldiers for any town Expenditure.", The staff continued.
"So we are Indirectly Absorbed into the Lord of the Town Military Strength ?", Altima understands this part. As the continent is still not having an Emperor which manage to rule over the whole land, there will be Local Tyrants or King which trying to establish their Position. Thus, This promotes the requirement to Wage war and small skirmishes between some Town and cities.
"Unfortunately, That's a yes for your question. Currently, in this Hundred Miles Town, The Lord of the Town holds the strongest Power, followed by the Hu Clan. And while the Thousand Members Guild and Thousand Leaves Sect is at the bottom position, followed by some other small Mercenary or Small Families around the town.", The Staff shakes his head for a little and answer Altima question.
"But if the Lord of the Town wished to destroy any of the Main 3 power within the Town, he might only need to send half of his Military strength to cleanly handle all of us. Currently, if we add up all the cultivator from the 3 power, maybe a total of 3 Middle Soul Practitioner of Zen, 2 Known Early Soul Practitioner of Zen, 10 Peak Spiritual Practitioner of Zen, 30 Early to Middle Spiritual Practitioner, about 300 to 400 Master Practitioner, and maybe close to 2,500 Warrior Practitioners."
"As what the guild know within our intelligence report, The Lord of Town Military have at least 50 Peak Soul Practitioner of Zen, commanding a total of at least Mix of 5,000 varieties of Cultivation Tier Soldiers.", The Staff explained the current condition to this young Member, but from his face, one could see how to disappoint he was due to the pressure is given by the Lord of Town.
"Anyway, quickly go and learn your martial arts provided by the guild. Regarding the Top 10 Competition, you are allowed to choose on participating or not.", The Staff quickly finish his conversation and leave Altima straight away due to the time he spends to talk exceed what he can idly spend.
Returning from the Trade and Exchange department, Altima quickly heads to the Martial Hall for his Selection of Martial arts. After receiving his 2 Martial art Tags, Altima quickly heads inside and started to look on the list of scrolls within. In each Shelf, A Special Array of Energy formation is written on the Covers, where with a look using Yin and Yang Energy, one could thoroughly look at the Martial Arts and the introduction regarding the Arts.
Walking and reading the scrolls all around the first row of Scrolls shelf, Altima found nothing but only basic Early Practitioner Martial Art. Nothing specifically attracts Altima's Interest, needless to mention about Mobi. This continued for on the Second Row and the Third row of shelves, where Altima only manage to had a slight interest on one of the Essence Gathering Martial Art, called the "Great Way of Yin Essence Manipulation". Although this Skill is pretty good, but with the Lack of its Counterpart skill, this skill will cost a huge resource in the middle of cultivation, just for the effort to increase the amount of Yang energy a person lack.

Next, Altima Walk toward the Fourth Row of Shelves, which is the last row of Shelves in this room. After this shelves, there is a door, leading to upstairs of the Martial Hall. Where higher tier Martial Arts is placed. But unfortunately, Altima Tag only usable on the Ground floor, which restricting him from selecting a stronger martial art. Finally, Altima checked on the Fourth Row of the shelves and finally choose two martial arts from the shelves, which he believe to be the best and most suitable Martial Art for him currently.
Little Sun of Yang Essence Technique - Early Warrior Practitioner of Zen Martial Arts

This skill also compliments to the Production of Energy Yang Pills.
Wu Di Long Fist Art - Early Warrior Practitioner of Zen Martial Arts.
Skill Description: Wu Di Long Fist consist of 3 transformation, which allows one to master the skills on how to Reach longer distance compare to your opponent on early stage, Allows one to launch Range Attack at middle stage, and finally allows one to master the Technique to freely Reach your opponent anywhere within 8 Step distance, be it to defeat or destroy your opponents when in Peak Stage.
With this 2 martial art chose by Altima, he proceeds towards the Martial Hall Staff and allows him to have a look on the scroll before leaving. When Altima left the hall, the Staff whispering to himself, giving a hopeful looking stare until Altima left his sight.
"I would never imagine that in my current life, this 2 scroll had been taken out twice together. If this kid knows how to Combine his martial art together to create a new method, this skill will allow him to stand top amongst the younger generation."
In the same time, Altima too was thinking the same thing. Through mastering the Little Sun of Yang Essence and the Wu Di Long Fist, Altima could utilize both skill in the same time to Launch a deadly strike toward undefended opponents, as well as if combined with the Wheel of Tai JI, the effect of this martial art could make him goes undefeated unless he met somebody one tier above his generation.
Within this world of Rumanian, The Code of Honour is still well practiced. Except within war where killing and Total massacre are not prohibited, within the city or outside, the Most issue regarding practitioner is solved by strength. The stronger one is, the louder he can speak within the place he rules. This code of honour is applied towards the city lords as well, where if one City lord decided to totally annihilate one Village which he is bigger than them about 10 times, will totally destroy your honour during your next war.
Returning to his room, Altima quickly runs through both scrolls and decided to learn both of them together, which placing them into the refining process. In the same time, Altima decided that he would require having a good rest, to replenish his energy and concentration spent during the one whole week holed up in the alchemy room for the concoction process.
Halfway during his rest, Mobi did question Altima on his choices on the two skills. And the reason why Altima take both of them.
"Brother Mobi, Do you believe if I tell you, That if I manage to decipher and master a total of 9 different Yin and Yang Essence martial arts, I could actually have the luck to upgrade them into one main Martial Arts ?", Altima gave Mobi meaningful looks and throw him a question.
"Do you get this Inspiration from your previous world ?", Mobi believes in Altima's word, but of course, he would need to assure where this thinking and confidence came from.
"Yes. Back in my world before reincarnate, The Shaolin Temple, which is the Origin of all Martial arts, Contain a first Grade Martial Arts called as the 9 Yang Divine Essence Martial Arts. Similar Counterpart, there is a 9 Yin Divine Essence Martial Arts, and 12 Verse of Yi Jin Manual.", Altima quickly explains few martial arts he used to learn and master before he reincarnated.
"If in that case, I will be supporting you via my capability! You can depend on your brother too you know ?", Mobi quickly promote himself, seeing how high spirit his little Brother is.
As the conversation end, time passed for about few more days, before the brothers came out from the room. On his appearance, Altima seems to be burnt for a few times, until his hair totally seems even worst than a beggar which never showered and shave for a few years.
