Chapter 10 : time to learn and train
The competition ended after long time , there were only few competitors who manage to enter the second round / semi final .
Rin yin , dong song , cang shi, wang qi , kai ,lin ying and man qi. Man qi was qualified because of his impressive battle with yang shi.
It was already late and night was near . Sky was dark and everyone began to return their respective house .
suxin tian and her peers were also returning back to their dorms but there was someone who was waiting for them.
Suxin frowned while looking at the person " what do you want ? I don't think we have anything to do with each others "
Her peers looked at each others and saw confusion written on their face , they didn't know what was going on ?
Kai looked at her with a smile , don't know if it was real or face but he looked real handsome . He walked to her while placing his both palms back " ah !! It hurts me you know ? How can you forget your man ? " as he said , he made a sad face as if he was truly hurt . He waved his right hand toward suxin's friends , signaling them to leave him and suxin alone .
Those disciples turned around and waited for suxin's opinion. Suxin nodded , they cupped theirs fist together before leaving those alone.
Right now , they were left alone while kai was very close to suxin , close enough to smell her natural aroma coming from from her body .
Suxin didn't waste her time by talking in circles " who are you ? I don't think I have seen your other than today. " she completely ignored his teasing and asked her question.
When she looked at him from head to toe , even her heart fluttered for a while .
He had a long silver hairs with his silver eyes , he had sharp chin and an eyes that were sharp as sword's edge . Wearing set of black shirt and pant with his black leather boots , long black cloak , the hood hung back .
He was handsome enough to even shame the moon and moonlight who is proud of its beauty.
He looked calm as those sea at night while at the same time restless as those same sea .
Tall and Prince charming.
In short , the most handsome man under heaven .
She couldn't remember him , how hard she tried she couldn't remember someone like him.
Watching her confuse face , kai sighed and gentle moved his right hand to caress her soft cheek but she retreated few step back which made him unable to do it.
He watched her , she was so close but he felt that they are world apart away . He felt frustration just by thinking how far she felt to him even though she was so close . He shook his head and faked a smile " nevermind "
With that , he teared the space and dissappear from there .
Suxin kept on watching the empty void , after while later she came to her wits while shouting "you beast , get back here !!"
….
Kun peng sect library
Inside the library there were numerous bookshelves around with some benches and tables . Suddenly space inside the room was cut by some strange force , a man wearing set of black clothes and black cloak walked from that space ripple .
"Sigh , I am such a pitiful person . My women didn't recognise me , this hurts my heart . Ah !!" Kai pretended as if his heart really hurts . Looking around he said " in the world 5 things are major strength and powers , knowledge, authority ,connection, information and wealth. I have nothing right now , let's start from knowledge. "
He expanded his time domain and 10 meter area was covered by incorporeal cube that was 10 meter square.
He walked toward the techniques section , he was right now on the lowest floor so he could only find low rank inferior grade to superior grade techniques. There were no formation learning books and others , only techniques.
He took out one book and looked at it . The cover had written 《 sky stroking palm 》.
When he flipped the page and began to read , at first his brows frowned than his face twisted . He began to grit his teeth and clench his fist in anger .
《 sky stroking palm 》is such a mighty name . Anyone would think that this palm technique is one of the best martial technique to learn for cultivators.
But alas , you can't judge the book by it's cover . Who was the great person to say that ? Right now , kai wanted to find out the person that created this《 sky stroking palm 》.
This stupid technique is nothing but most basic art . The practitioners have to just have high cultivation level strength and circulate their qi on their palm before striking your palm .
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
'Even that wild lady (dong song) that attacked me early morning palm technique is deadly than this worthless skill .' Kai though while before keeping that book at the same place as it was before .
He than picked another book . It was called 《 cloud slaying palm 》. Reading that book , kai was left bewilder .
《 sky stroking palm 》 and 《 cloud slaying palm 》were almost same . The difference between them was that one was called《 sky stroking palm 》while another was called《 cloud slaying palm 》.
"Truly there are sometime when different people thinks about same things " he helplessly put the book at it's previous place before picking up another .
Slowly he took his time reading , within 1 minute which was 1 years for kai using his 《 time domain 》, he finished the reading. It is good that he has time cheating ability otherwise if he had chosen to spend his 1 years of time just to read those trashes than he would have written his name in world record . And his title would be 《 1 year idiot 》.
With a little anger in his heart , he shifted his body from first floor to second floor .
He soon began to read those books . Since they were mid rank inferior grade to superior grade , they were better than those books in first floor .
He began to read those martial techniques, alchemy, formation, incantations, weapon , poison , medicines , blacksmith and other books . After reading every single books he moved to third floor . Library had 5 floors; first floor held low rank books , second floor held mid rank , third floor held high rank while fifth floor held the strongest book which were earth rank . While forth floor was actually room for studying history , weapon , higher level alchemy and other .
Upon entering third floor , kai didn't played around and began to learn everything. Before advancing to next floor , he thought ' should I enter forth floor or fifth ? Let's enter fifth first because it has lots of earth rank books while forth has same rank books as third . ' he decided to enter fifth floor first , there were only 5 earth rank books kept on the long table .
《 lethal fist technique 》
《 meridian healing art 》
《 weapon sense technique 》
《 3rd rank alchemy basic instructions 》
《 sound wave formation 》
Those 5 were all earth rank inferior grade books .
He learned all the five and memorised them carefully before entering the forth floor . Forth floor was like treasure to him , there were books about 《 the way to sing 》 , 《 the art of literature 》, 《 the way to brew tea 》 , many traditional culture were stored there . He began to read them , just by reading he felt like he was being refined by mysterious power.
After reading everything, his aura changed . His aura was now very gentle and elegant filled with nobility. Calm on the surface while graceful from the core. He was the traditional culture master that gave very ancient feeling after learning everything about history and the culture.
" wow !! It's like I have completely changed from before " even kai himself was surprised . His demeanour and temperament could even trash a most holiest person in the world. His demeanour right now completely fitted his charm , it was like he should have been like this from the start . He was flawless.
Right now , no one could avoid his charm if one did than that person would be the most unluckiest person in the world. Right now , even if you ask a man to marry him , that man would happily marry kai without any regrets .
Kai licked his lip out of habit and said " now I have learnt everything from the sect , I have now knowledge . I need wealth now , let see where I can gain wealth ? " he began to think.
( when he said wealth , he didn't mean money but experience. Experience is the most richest wealth for a person .)
"I think I will stabilise my position in alchemy association for now . From it , I can have a source for medicines , alchemy pills , money , status and even protection. I can gain both wealth and connection along authority ( status or power to rule or order something ). Good , stabilising my own powerhouse here will leave a small authority in the future. A man with an ambition will always look at the biggest picture .
In the future if I build my own powerhouse and nourish genius and maybe chosen one like those mc in novels , I will gain stronghold for my family. "
(Family --he means something like clan or sect of his own )
He teared the space before he appeared outside alchemy association hall . In the sunshine empire , there are 5 powers that rules the empire under royal family.
Kun peng sect , black iron sect, alchemy association, weapon forging association and formation master association.
If kai stabilised his position firmly in alchemy association than it is like taking control of 1 part of empire .
The head of alchemy association is called feng he , the former patriarch of he family . He family is one of the powerhouse that is associated with alchemy association strongly.
Feng he is at same level as the Kun peng sect master tao tian in cultivation realm . Feng he is an extremely possessed with alchemy , in fact his whole family is almost an alchemist .
Currently sunshine empire only sells bone forging pills , restoration pills , spiritual pills, healing pills and body hardening pills . There is rumours that feng he is trying to concoct a grade 3 pill called meridian purifying pills.
Standing outside of alchemy association , kai grinned . He suddenly thought of something. He said to himself " I heard that alchemist feng he has a young granddaughter who is only 18 . She is beautiful and pretty just like that moon hanging in the sky.
I heard she is in deep love with dao of alchemy. What if , just for clarity , what if she fell in love with a handsome man that also happens to know dao of alchemy ? Would alchemist feng he accept that man as his grand son in law ?"he began to rub his chin while he walked toward the door .
The door was guarded by two guards that were actually 6th grade martial artist realm cultivators.
When those two saw the beauty of kai , they both were lost in it. Kai just elegantly smiled and walked inside the hall.
The alchemy association hall would open 24 / 7 so he was allowed to enter inside .
When he entered , the people inside were all amazed and dazed by his charm . Those that were doing their works even stopped doing their work .
Kai walked to counter hall , there was a pretty lady wearing a long blue robe working. Even that lady wasn't able to resist his charm .
In alchemy association hall , one could pay price to go and train inside the practicing room .
Like this , alchemy association would earn extra income from people .
Right now , Kai was inexperienced in doing alchemy , other than knowing what alchemy is and how alchemy works , he didn't know how to do it practically.
He asked " may I know how much should I pay to enter practice hall ? "
The lady regained his sense from his unparalleled beauty and charm , his unworldly charisma . She hurriedly answered back " just 10 low rank inferior spiritual stones for rank 1 practice hall , for rank 2 100 low rank inferior grade spiritual stones while for rank 3 you need to pay 1000 low inferior grade spiritual stones . Which room do you want ?"
Kai thought for a while , he only have 20-24 low rank inferior grade spiritual stones that he didn't used before because he thought they would come to use in the future .
He replied while he looked the pretty lady " I would like to use rank 1 practice hall for an hours "
The lady received spiritual stones from Kai before Kai was leaded to rank 1 practice hall . For others it was only 1 hours but him it was 60 years .
