Zero To Hero In The Martial Arts Library

Qin Yuyan’s heartbeat, which had gradually calmed down due to the completion of her cultivation, suddenly accelerated again.

Without much hesitation, she immediately rushed downstream.

…

On the riverbank downstream, Ye Xiao exhaled a mouthful of cold air, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.

The synthesis was complete.

He had obtained a mental cultivation technique called the Violet Sea of Stars.

Just like the Overpowering Saber, he did not know what grade it was, but from its strength, it was definitely not an ordinary technique.

Ye Xiao gave it a try. The speed at which it absorbed spiritual energy was simply like a whale gulping mouthfuls of the sea, so strong that it made one light-headed after using it!

He reckoned that the spiritual energy in his body would not be exhausted even if he continuously used the Overpowering Saber.

It felt like the infinite mana regeneration from video games.

However, that was not the only thing that made Ye Xiao happy. At the same time, there was another thing that kept his spirits up. That was, his cultivation had risen another grade, reaching Xiantian second grade.

After his cultivation had advanced to Xiantian, the advancement of each level would be many times more difficult than before. It would be equivalent to the sum of all the previous ones!

Some people might be stuck at Xiantian’s first grade for the rest of their lives after reaching it.

Otherwise, why would there be a new level for every third grade?

The three levels of grandmaster, great grandmaster, and divine grandmaster in the Xiantian realm were not just differences in names.

The grandmaster rank was the beginning of the release of spiritual energy. Their strength had already reached its peak and surpassed the limits of humans. At the same time, they could freely control the spiritual energy within their bodies to the point where it could be perfectly restrained.

It was said that great grandmasters could already travel through the air, stepping on air as if it was a solid object. The spiritual energy on the surface of their bodies could not be broken by ordinary people.

As for the divine grandmaster, he could regenerate broken bones. His lifespan had been greatly increased and had completely gotten rid of the shackles of mortality.

Now, Ye Xiao was already at Xiantian second grade. As long as he reached Xiantian fourth grade in the future, he would become a great grandmaster. As long as he reached Xiantian seventh grade, he would become a divine grandmaster!

He clenched his fists and cheered himself up.

‘You can do this!’

All of a sudden, with his sharp perception, he suddenly felt that a figure had entered into his perception range.

That made Ye Xiao involuntarily raise his brows.

‘This time, I’ve already hidden in the reeds, and there’s actually someone who came to look for me? Looks like next time, I can’t come to this riverside anymore. It’s not safe.’

He was just about to turn around and leave when a familiar voice was heard.

“I’m Qin Yuyan, I beg you to meet me!”

‘It’s her?’

Ye Xiao was slightly surprised. He immediately circulated his spiritual energy and projected a layer of faint golden light that enveloped him. His figure and face could not be seen clearly, only a rough silhouette could be seen.

In the next moment, Qin Yuyan had already arrived in front of him. When she saw Ye Xiao’s figure wrapped in the golden light, her heart almost jumped to her throat.

She clutched her chest, so excited that her delicate body could not help but tremble slightly.

It was him!

It was really him!

It was the person that she had always dreamed of meeting!

At that moment, she was so excited that she was speechless.

Taking a deep breath, she bowed deeply to Ye Xiao and said,

“Sir, I, Qin Yuyan am filled with admiration for your saber technique. I wish to be under your tutelage. I wonder if you could accept me?”

Ye Xiao, who was in the golden light, was a little surprised.

Did she decide to abandon her sword and learn saber techniques because of his saber technique?

The spiritual energy condensed slightly and he adjusted his voice, causing it to become a little low, like the voice of an elder.

“I won’t take in a disciple.”

Qin Yuyan’s eyes revealed a hint of sadness that was indiscernible.

However, she was still as firm as before. A moment later, she gritted her teeth and said,

“Even if you are unwilling to accept me as a disciple, I will definitely follow your example in my life. Diverging from the future expected of me, I will walk the path of the saber art!”

She was quite stubborn.

“I wish you luck.”

After saying that, he lifted his feet slightly and his body instantly disappeared from where he was.

Qin Yuyan could not help but feel a little disappointed. She really liked saber art. That feeling was as if she had found a direction that she truly liked.

It was a pity that she could not take him as her teacher.

His strength was incredible. If she could take him as her teacher, her attainments in saber techniques would definitely have some achievements.

She once again stood before Ye Xiao’s saber mark to observe it. As she was in a trance, she vaguely seemed to see a golden saber glow.

“This is… ?”

Qin Yuyan was stunned. She actually felt the saber intent left behind by Ye Xiao!

At that moment, it was as if there was only that one saber in the world, and she, who was standing in front of it, was just like a tiny ant.

Finally, the saber intent slowly entered her mind.

Qin Yuyan was overjoyed. She had comprehended the saber intent in Ye Xiao’s saber mark into her mind.

If she could understand the saber intent, her future would be limitless!

“Thank you, sir!”

Qin Yuyan bowed toward the direction where Ye Xiao had left. Although she did not know if he could still see her, she bowed sincerely.

On Ye Xiao’s side, he had already returned to the library.

After advancing to Xiantian second grade, his speed was even faster than before.

He had not expected that Qin Yuyan, would actually have such strong willpower. She was actually able to comprehend the saber intent from his saber mark.

“After this, I should rent a house and merge it with my cultivation technique in the future. I can’t go to the riverside anymore.

“There are too many lunatics in this world. If I go to that kind of place every day, I’m afraid that I won’t live peacefully if I’m discovered.”

Ye Xiao felt that he should go and take a look at some houses. There seemed to be an agency next to the library.

After finishing his lunch, Ye Xiao went to that agency.

A young man in a suit and leather shoes immediately came forward to welcome him.

“Hello, may I know if you want to buy or sell a house?”

“I’m here to take a look at some houses.”

“Okay, may I know what your budget is?”

“10,000 yuan.”

“10,000 yuan? Is it 10,000 yuan per square meter? At this price, I reckon that you won’t be able to buy a house in the city center, but you might have a chance finding a small one in suburbs.”

Ye Xiao was silent for a moment.

“I’ll think about it.”

He turned around and left the agency.

His wish to buy a house was gone.

It seemed that whether it was in his previous life or now, a house was too extravagant for him.

It was better for him to stay in the library’s dormitory.

At most, he could synthesize and level up in the future. He could just go to a remote mountain range.

A penny really stumped a hero.

A great grandmaster… Sigh, forget about it.

Just as he left, the middle-aged man quickly caught up.

“Sir, please wait a moment.”

Ye Xiao stopped in his tracks.

“Sir, if you think it’s too expensive, you can also consider renting a house.”

Ye Xiao was startled. That was also a good idea.

After all, what he wanted was a place far away from the city, a place with no people, to synthesize his cultivation technique.

He only needed a secret place to stay.

“Then I want a secluded, quiet place far away from the city.”

After a pause, he added another sentence.

“It’d better be cheaper.”
