《Seize The Stars》6

I walked into the library through the large doors.
There I saw him sitting with his circular fan and this time, matching clothes. He wore a white and red robe. I walked towards him and bowed.
“Good morning.” I said. He seemed to be immersed in the book he was reading but when he heard me he was jolted back to this world. “And good morning to you too.” He replied. Every word that came out of his mouth reeked of nobility. I will never get used to such a noble presence I realized.
He got up and walked towards a table grabbed a chair and sat down. I mimicked his actions except the part where he got up since I was already standing.
“Now lets get started on some basic Chinese shall we.” He gestured to some books he had ready for me on the table. “Okay.” I replied.
In all honesty I was stoked about having him as a teacher it was just that the solid aura of nobility around him made me fell uneasy.
Throughout the day he taught me a bunch of letters, even now that I’m at the 4th stage of the Neophyte realm it still gave me a headache which I of course solved with heaven and earth energy once again.
What if I channeled heaven and earth energy into my brain? The idea gave me goosebumps.
Ri Chu was once again immersed in a book, its sort of cool how he can just forget about everything that goes on around him when he starts reading.
As I started channeling the energy my brain got fuzzy all of a sudden and my headache returned this time with even more zeal to tear my brain open. I realized I was probably not channeling the heaven and earth energy properly through my brain which resulted in a backfire.
I took a deep breath. I tried again but this time slowly and feelingly. It was sort of like I could see inside myself through the heaven and earth energy, and finally everything cleared.

My headache was gone and my senses were improved. I realized something else in this process. I realized that my talent “Martial Inclined” sort of gave me a sixth sense.
I went at memorizing again and this time I learned every single character in the book. With the way I can utilize heaven and earth energy I could probably manipulate my body and mind and even other peoples bodies and minds in so many different ways.
I looked at Ri Chu. I could probably just take out another book without him realizing to memorize, since I was done with the one he gave me. I picked up a book that talked a lot about unique weapons. I flipped to the first page and I was immediately drawn in by the beautiful illustrations.
One in particular caught my eye. It was a long spear with and end that kind of looked like a spider lily. It was a perfect silver with red, gold and black linings.
After memorizing that I finished my homework which was to write down 60 characters and then I left.
The first thing I wanted to try was to master Fury Waves so I went to the training courtyard. At this time in the day all the older kids were at some academy or the other and the adults had jobs so the training room was deserted, thankfully.
I took out the book and read through it again. Ran it through my mind a couple of times and then tried executing it. To my evaluation I probably grasped all of the first level.
Wow. In just two days I reached the 4th stage of the Neophyte realm and even mastered a level two martial technique to the first level.
After a couple of hours I had managed to take it to the 8 level which was even further than my dads. I was a martial genius. I was proud of myself.
This entire day something felt off. But I just can't seem to put my finger on it. OH! Yes EI he hasn't said a word this entire day.

"Hey EI. You there?" I activated my martial eyes and saw he was just looking at me. "I merely a couple of hours you mastered Fury Waves to the 8th level.". It had no doubt seen many geniuses.
But someone like me? Yeah definitely not, I realized his silence was my fault.
In one of the memoir books I was reading before I learned that killing would develop an items spirit. Now the item's spirit had a major impact on the sword itself. The sword I was holding was a level 2 sword, very expensive for many officials.
But the item spirit was strong enough to probably be from a level 4. There were a few thing that were very important in a good sword.
First, good material, now this sword was made from level 1 material. Now coupled with the item spirit it is a level 2. Another thing that impacts this is the smiths skill. If he was a bad martial smith you could expect the sword to be a complete flop. But if he was good enough he could probably make even make a level 4 sword from level 1 material.
I had an idea. "Hey EI. How about we go hunting." I asked EI. "No, even though you are considerably strong now you would still die if you went out in the wilderness by yourself."
I did'nt expect that answer from him. "What is so dangerous in the wilderness the demons and beasts around here are probably only in the Neophyte stage." I thought out loud.
"Sigh, I think that with your current strength you could probably go against someone at the 7th stage and win. But it won't always be just a demon or beast that is at merely the 7th stage and a lot of them live in packs which are just as dangerous."
"Ok then, we will surely head out in due time however." I backed down. After such a long day I went to dinner. My stomach was rumbling. I would swear it was trying to attack me or it was cursing at me if I did'nt already know that it did'nt have a mind of its own. Even though I technically did'nt even need to eat anymore I still miss food. Also that I have to try appearing normal.
When I finally got there my parents my sister and Ri Chu were already there eating. "Oh finally you came honey." My mom was the first to greet me.
I took my seat and started eating. Oh, gosh I missed food. I thought longingly.
"So how was your day today?" Asked my father. "It was great." Well it sort of was great.
"Your son really surprised me today he did everything in about three hours." Praised Ri Chu.
We all talked to each other in between bites. Even Ri Chu, why was he even here?
After dinner my big sis walked over to me.
"Hey little bro.(She was already four when Long Youfu was born and now she is eight.)" That's what she calls me.
"Yeah." I answered. "How has it been so far for your cultivation?" !!!! WHAT!!! How am I even supposed to explain this. After a while I said. "I broke through to the 1rst stage." She was shocked.
"Wow, already thats so cool. How much of Fury Waves have you memorized?" She asked ugh yet another hard question."I mastered it to the first stage." I replied with an innocent look.
She was speechless. "I promise to protect our family when I am strong enough sister I am not just going to slack off." I said with some real zeal. "Yes, that's the spirit." She was my elder sister, yes. But somehow I feel like I am the older one.

YAOS 1 - Limitless Adventures - Yet Another OP Story Book 1
December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and at Amazon. December 30th 2018: V1.1.2 of YAOS Book 1 is out, some content additions, fixed typos. Amazon's enhanced typesetting now displays tables properly. YAOS is shown through the eyes of some genius athlete getting OP inside a VR, ah wait, Full Immersion game, ?F.I.O?. Not a Hero, not a Nerd, just a driven individual paying for mistakes made, biding time until he can return to the Real World. He isn't defined like you'd normally do it, you can pick his looks and name all on your own, just like you do in video games. Believe it or not, keeping his looks undefined is harder than you think. His backstory isn't expounded in detail, but it drives his choices. Book 1 isn't about depressing sob stories but about fun and rushing forward, pursuing new horizons. Oh, and you'll end on a cliffhanger! Well, most serials do, so you will probably expect that without being told explicitly. But it isn't that bad, there's a lot of reveals and more to come once this book, that is the first in a planned three-part series, is finally ready for release on amazon et al. The published version will have: 1.) Godawful speaker tags, I hate them, they make you stop thinking and speed up editing so much. In hindsight they should have been in to begin with. But I stand by my goals proclaimed earlier. You guys should think while reading, that is the whole point of the exercise. Apply the knowledge and ideas, improve yourself, get creative! 2.) Pretty colored tables, the damned blue boxes, a lot of work, 69 in one book. Finally fixed amazon's centering issue. Can't say I liked the hours needed to debug that. 3.) The promised Mitara chapters. 4.) A cover! 5.) And lastly, updated polished versions of several chapters. MC shares more of his past, some terrible chapters (esp. 32) finally work. Some new scenes, minor rewrites in parts. Text flow and other issues. The current challenge is to maintain essential ambiguity while satisfying people wanting to know more without thinking three steps ahead. Balancing one with the other is tough. The smut which was in remains, but the story told is not to be superseded by it. A 15+ rating for the first book is also important, not to mention, YAOS wasn't meant to contain any smut to begin with. If the Author can turn to writing full time his output should increase, so please support YAOS #1 once it does finally release. ~Thank You~ No maps so far, that should be in, but is really hard to get done right. Again, tips are appreciated. Update September 2017: Stubbed chapters, sorry guys, currently don't have time to upload them elsewhere, polishing book 1 and 2, writing 3, takes precedence. Book 1 is in heavy editing, too much to keep synced and continuing editing. I'd need a site which offers JS-free rapid managing of chapters and comments. Coding one myself or setting a premade up is out of scope until I'm done with the books. RRL-old offered that, nuff said. This is only here because the author believes in fairies, nobody reads this, most likely. October to December 2017: Life threw some curveballs. February 2018: Book 2 draft 1 completed, at ~150K words. Book 2 is fairly epic in scope, requires 1 rewritten chapter, some editing. Tables and miscellanea are in, but needs at least a grammar pass. March 2018: Book 3 at 28k words, first arc, rest needs serious planning for spin-off and satisfying conclusion. July 2018: Yet another proofing/editing session of books 1-3, 101+ chapters, ~300k words. B3 at 48k, starts out great, but no ETA, no wordcount limit, in flux. But prioritizing my writing cannot be done, I hate the delays as much as you, but you will prefer the whole released in a timely fashion rather than wait. Knowing myself how excruciating waiting can be, at least you'll get significantly polished versions and an ETA on book 2 by release of book 1. December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and in the process at Amazon et. al.. . To all who wait patiently, offered feedback, thanks again!
