First Floor of the Outer Hall's Library.

Zhao Luo walked towards the first shelf on the first floor instead of going straight to the second floor.

"Hmm, I have one hour, so let's look around here first."

Zhao Luo said to himself while Senior Cutie had already advanced to the upper floor of the leaning tower.

Zhao Luo who was looking around found many books here, especially the number of scrolls that exceeded that of books.

At the first shelf detailed open scroll was hanging like a 'must-read' sign.

Zhao Luo stopped and read the scroll which was an instruction scroll.

"Scroll: Incomplete Technique 

Book: Complete Technique"

Two lines were written on it to explain the difference between a rolled Scroll and a Square shaped thick book on the shelves of the first floor.

"Hmm, I guess I will just look for the books for now."

The first floor had the black and the bronze colored technique but only the ranks (A fo D) of black techniques were covered on the first floor while (B to D) ranks of bronze techniques could be found on some shelves.

Zhao Luo glanced at the books.

Each book's cover showed three things.

The techniques name.

It's Color.

It's Grade.

The first shelf had foot techniques so after reading a few Zhao Luo lost his interest in them.

'Why should I look at them?'

Zhao Luo questioned.

His doubt in these techniques wasn't irrelevant at all.

From the start of the shelf, the names of the techniques were quite enchanting and powerful drawing Zhao Luo towards them.

The first technique that caught Zhao Luo's eyes was a black book.

"Lightning Speed, (B)."

The color of the book showed that it was the lowest category foot technique but its grade wasn't the lowest.

"Shh."

Zhao Luo pulled it out from its resting place on the shelf and without waiting any further, he opened it.

The moment Zhao Luo opened the book his points which were 75 went down by 1, that is, now he had 74 remaining points.

'Fwoo~'

[ This foot technique is a B Grade Black Technique which is perfect for a Level two 'II' outer disciple who is suffering from Turtle feet.]

"Turtle feet?"

Zhao Luo wondered if he had picked up a comic book instead of a foot technique book.

[Using this technique, you can move 1.25 faster than before. The sound of each complete movement will be like thunder. Continuous use can strain the muscles.]

[ To Learn: 10 points ]

Zhao Luo read the use of this lightning speed technique.

"Wow, this technique turned out to be..."

Zhao Luo closed the book while talking about the book.

"Quite a joke."

'Why would I use 10 points just to increase my speed by 1.25 times and a background lightning sound? Sigh, even my Half Walk is a hundred times better than this, not to mention first walk.'

Zhao Luo compared the technique that he had received from the sect leader and shook his head while moving ahead.

Another black book appeared in his eyes with a shocking name.

"Murder Walk, (A)"

Zhao Luo stopped at this book.

His hand shivered as it stopped right before the book.

'Do I read it or not?'

Zhao Luo's mind was filled with a battle of two words, Yes or No.

In the end, the Word Yes came out as the victor. 

The name was so attractive to Zhao Luo that he could hold his desire to open this book back.

'It's just 1 point.'

Zhao Luo pulled out this black book.

"Murder walk."

'Maybe this technique will allow me to kill my enemies while taking a super fast step.'

Zhao Luo had many ideas going on in his head related to what the technique was about.

'Fwoo~'

Zhao Luo opened the book and read the details.

[An ability that will cure a disciple who is unable to walk backward. This technique will help you to reverse walk]

[The murder walk, this foot technique that maximizes the mesmerizing nature of a reverse walk is solely used to stun the enemy and use the gap when they are not able to defend themselves to strike them cold.]

[ To Learn: 15 points ]

Zhao Luo who had already finished reading what the technique eas about and its uses, had his mouth closed.

He was out of words.

'What is this BullShit?'

Zhao Luo questioned in his mind.

[73 points remaining]

'Another point wasted, Tsk.'

Zhao Luo felt bitter as he put the book back on the shelf.

"Isn't this moonwalk? If I knew that this technique was a moonwalk I would have never picked it up."

Zhao Luo said while questioning how using a moonwalk would be helpful for him in a Battle.

'If it was a dance battle then it would make sense.'

Zhao Luo could hear a stupid thought rising in his head.

But this was the Xin Sect, not some Talent Show Sect focused around their disciples having good dancing techniques.

Zhao Luo went to the next shelf but the collection was just ordinary.

"Bullet Fist, (C)"

A bronze book entered his eyes.

This shelf had the first technique and this was the highest level of the book that he could see on the whole shelf.

"The name sounds nice."

"BULLET FIST."

'WHEWWW~'

Zhao Luo looked at his left and threw a fast punch while shouting the name of the ability.

Zhao Luo grabbed the book and pulled it out of the shelf.

"Bullet Fist."

One more glance at its name was enough to force Zhao Luo to open it.

'Fwoo~'

[A millennium ago, what did the martial arts practitioners used when they had no weapons?]

Zhao Luo stopped there and gave it a thought for a moment. This was the third technique he had opened but the first one which had started with a question.

"Their Limbs."

Zhao Luo looked at his hand and his feet.

For Zhao Luo, he was indeed on point thus with a smile Zhao Luo continued reading the book.

[Yes, Disciple. Your thought is right. It was indeed the Fists. But fists alone don't amount to much. Thus this technique will teach you how to use your fists in the strongest way to achieve the bullet fist]

[ To Learn: 20 points ]

Zhao Luo who was now at 72 points gave it a thought.

While reading the technique Zhao Luo had realized that the founder of this technique and he, didn't share the same thoughts as the founder of this technique was favoring fists while a human is born with both arms and both feet so if a person is not missing his lower limbs he will use his legs as a weapon too.

Leaving this aside, Zhao Luo decided to learn the technique.

He flipped to the main page of the book while using his 20 points on this technique.

[ Learn: When each part of your upper limb, the phalanges and the tendons of your hand, the joints of your arm and shoulder act as one, only then a fist can match a modern weapon.]

[Once you master this technique then no normal sword or any other weapon practitioner will be able to stop your fist with his weapon. Just like a dragon's ascend can not be stopped by the heavenly skies, your fist will rise]

"Interesting."

Zhao Luo was quite impressed by the content of this bronze (C) grade technique, Bullet Fist.

The details of the page ended there. Unfortunately, Zhao Luo couldn't learn it right away as he didn't turn to the next page.

'Ah, I don't have much time.'

While saying this Zhao Luo stored this book in his storage. 

Hurrying his steps, he looked around different shelves on the first floor.

Many Bronze Techniques entered his sight.

Ranging from the B rank to D rank, different techniques for movement followed by attacking techniques which used fist and kick as the attacking weapon then other Weapon technique, and lastly defense techniques, not one these techniques on the different shelves riled Zhao Luo so much that he would pick them.

"Barging Wave Kick, (D)"

"Flying spear, (B)"

"Wonderous Fist, (C)"

"Hairless Defense, (B)"

Zhao Luo remembered a few of them as they all had very addicting names.

He didn't use a spear as he had two weapons which were his swords, Ifrit and Blackey.

But if there was a flying sword technique among these techniques then Zhao Luo would have taken it.

Zhao Luo wanted the kick technique but he had already selected a fist technique so he dropped that idea too.

The same went for the 'Wonderous Fist'.

"Hairless Defense."

Zhao Luo repeated this name of a B rank defense technique.

"From the name, I think it will suit Brot- Senior Cutie more than me."

Zhao Luo couldn't call the bald guy 'brother' just cause Senior never acted like one.

As for the defense technique, it indeed suited Senior Cutie more as both had hairless qualities.

With a grin on his face, Zhao Luo went towards the stairs and advanced to the second floor.

[Remaining points: 52 points

Remaining Time: 33 minutes]

'Tap'

Zhao Luo climbed the stairs to the second floor of the library in the leaning tower.

"Hopefully there are some good silver techniques for me to learn."

Zhao Luo wished as a bad memory surfaced in his mind.
