AWB Chapter 2033: A Rare Person!
Chapter 2033: A Rare Person!
After a while, the two walked into the Western Courtyard, which was where the outer sect disciples resided.
Su Chen was still observing all around since this was his first visit here.
After walking for a short while, Gu Yunyan said:
"Up ahead is the lodging area. I won’t go in; you just follow the number on your identity token to find your room."
"Alright, thank you."
Su Chen replied:
"You should head back first."
No matter the reason, he felt grateful in his heart.
Gu Yunyan nodded and then turned to leave.
At the entrance of the lodging area, Su Chen took out his identity token and, following the numbers on it, quickly found his inn pavilion.
He pushed the door open and took a look. The inn pavilion was akin to a suite, very spacious and clean!
For him, it was satisfactory enough.
First, he took a bath, considering he’d been on the road for several days.
After bathing, he felt instantly refreshed, with even the slightest fatigue vanishing.
So he continued to study Divine Sense Attack, which was much harder than Divine Sense Disturbance. Although he had spent two days on it while traveling, he was only a beginner!
To fully master it would still take more time.
...
Meanwhile, under a gazebo in the Spirit Martial Sect, there was a stone table, and atop it was a chessboard with black and white pieces.
A middle-aged man and a woman sat opposite each other!
At this moment, the middle-aged man was holding a white piece, staring at the board with furrowed brows. Just as he was about to place it, he hesitated and withdrew his hand.
The woman quietly watched, not urging him. She was extraordinarily beautiful, with a beauty that transcended worldly matters, deeply moving!
Like a flower blossoming silently under the moonlight, unknown yet unimpeded in its serene beauty!
Just then, footsteps resounded.
An old man arrived, did not disturb them, and stood silently on the side, watching.
After about an hour, the game was not yet over but they stopped.
The old man looked somewhat puzzled; at least in his view, the outcome had not yet been decided!
The woman smiled slightly, then reached out her slender hand to gently collect the pieces, her unhurried movements even in gathering the chess pieces exuded an aesthetic.
It was at this time that the middle-aged man spoke:
"Mr. Zhong, haven’t you been keeping an eye on the assessment? Why the sudden visit?"
"Sect Master, Elder Han is observing there; there’s something we discussed that warrants reporting to you."
Zhong Lao said with a bow.
"Oh, do tell, what matter requires your special trip?"
The middle-aged man, upon hearing this, became curious.
"Just now a newcomer took part in the assessment...
Then, Zhong Lao recounted some of the circumstances when Su Chen participated in the assessment.
"Oh, is there such a thing?"
The middle-aged man was visibly shocked upon hearing it.
Achieving First Turn of Great Supreme Realm, easily navigating the Gravity Field, possessing spiritual power over a hundred levels, and defeating a Nine Turns Creation Realm opponent with one move!
Any one of these feats sounds incredible, yet they all appeared in one person!
If it weren’t for Zhong Lao reporting it in person, he wouldn’t have believed it!
Simply astonishing!
Even the woman, who remained impassive like moonlight, raised her head, a trace of surprise flickering in her beautiful eyes.
"Absolutely true, Elder Han and I think such a young talent, should we directly promote him to True Disciple?"
Zhong Lao suggested:
"After all, such talent is exceedingly rare."
At these words, the middle-aged man reflected for a moment before responding:
"For now, let’s keep it as is and observe. By the way, what’s his name?"
"Su Chen."
Zhong Lao replied.
...
Another three days passed, with Su Chen continually researching Divine Sense Attack!
To be honest, he had a lot on his plate nowadays. Besides further improving his cultivation and Star Energy, he needed to study a Taboo Technique from the Laws Forbidden Tome.
Additionally, he had to continue comprehending the third move of the Dayan Sword Technique, "Formless and Invisible"!
Moreover, the "Thousand Hand Seal" and "Wind Shadow Step" still required improvement!
Of course, regardless of the workload, tasks needed to be handled one at a time.
Fortunately, within these three days, he had just about mastered Divine Sense Attack; presumably, he would fully grasp it soon!
On this day, after several hours of study, he decided to take a walk, having stayed inside researching Divine Sense Attack since arriving here without stepping out yet!
Leaving the Western Courtyard, he came before a somewhat aged-looking small building, fittingly named the Ancient Books Tower.
Previously, when passing by, Gu Yunyan had introduced it, stating that it contained no cultivation techniques but recorded numerous old events, not only from within Cangxuan Territory but also the outside world!
Such a place naturally didn’t hold any value for the other disciples, so virtually no one visited!
But for Su Chen, it was critically important!
Because the answer he sought might be hidden in a place like this!
To be honest, he wasn’t very interested in those Martial Arts Techniques; could they possibly surpass the Divine Skills he had comprehended?!
So, upon leaving his inn pavilion, his first stop was here!
However, entering and exiting here costs money, specifically Red Mysterious Stones!
In fact, many places in the Spirit Martial Sect required money; otherwise, how could such a large sect sustain itself?!
"One Red Mysterious Stone per hour."
At the entrance, an administrator lazily spoke from behind a desk.
Having been neglected for a long time, the administrator had an indifferent attitude!
Hearing this, Su Chen pulled out a hundred Red Mysterious Stones, placing them on the desk:
"I’ll leave this here. Deduct it according to the time I spend there."
The administrator was dumbfounded; he had never seen so many Red Mysterious Stones before?!
Was this kid foolish?
A hundred could be exchanged for a decent cultivation technique or a fine weapon, yet he was spending it in a place like the Ancient Books Tower!
Wasn’t that insane?!
However, as far as he was concerned, money was money!
He promptly and politely said:
"Please, come inside."
Though thinking to himself, this kid probably had water on his brain!
Quite rare!
No, he had never encountered anyone like this!
Of course, Su Chen didn’t care what this administrator thought, nodded slightly, and walked in.
Upon entering, he was somewhat stunned!
What it means to be vast as the sea!
He had truly experienced it!
Strictly speaking, this Ancient Books Tower couldn’t be called a ’tower’ since it was only one layer!
But this one layer stood taller than six or seven layers of normal buildings, empty in the middle, yet surrounded by massive walls lined with various books, even to the point of dizziness!
Every few steps, there was a vertical ladder, allowing people to climb up to access the higher books!
