Chapter: 84

The books here had the basics of all martial arts and the origins. What caught Yeowun’s eye was the book called ‘Origin of Internal Energy’.

‘Nano, scan the book.’

Yeowun then began skimming through the book and realized that the information it contained seemed useful. It was a book that explained the basis of internal energy that might help Nano analyze and help with the breathing skill. Yeowun then used all his remaining time to scan the books on the shelf. He didn’t realize it now, but this would later help him in creating his own martial arts.

“Hmph. You are just in time.”

The instructor at the entrance pursed his lips. Yeowun had barely made it out in time.

“You can go now.”

The instructor said he could leave, but Yeowun wasn’t finished yet. He wanted to go to the second floor to check on something right away.

“I want to go to the second floor too.”

“What?”

The instructor became confused. Most of the students would be busy returning to their rooms so they could write down what they memorized, but Yeowun’s decision to go to the second floor didn’t make sense. However, the instructor just thought that maybe Yeowun didn’t consider the first-floor books to be that important.

“...Write your name down.”

“Yes, sir.”

Yeowun was then allowed to enter. There was a staircase near the entrance right before the first floor. The guard standing at the stairway checked Yeowun’s candle and allowed him to go upstairs.

The second floor was smaller than the first. Inside, a countless number of cadets were reading and memorizing the books.

‘Oh, they’re still here.’

Most of the cadets here had a bit of left time as they entered the floor around the same time as Yeowun. These books did not help much to those from powerful clans, but it was a great help for those from low-ranked clans and they were memorizing as fast as they could.

‘Oh.’

Yeowun then spotted an unexpected person. It was Chun Yuchan from the Blade Clan. Unlike the other candidates who underestimated the books on these floors, he was here looking through various blade books.

‘Maybe I should watch out for him.’

People who put in more effort into things that looked pointless were more dangerous to him. Yeowun then walked silently to the center of the floor.

‘There it is!’

There was the blue pearl stone standing proudly in the center. Unlike the guard on the first floor, the guard here was walking around the stone, checking to see if the students were copying the books here. Yeowun then walked to the back of the stone.

‘I knew it!’

He almost gasped in astonishment. The stone was covered in sword marks too. Yeowun called out to Nano again.

‘Nano, scan those marks and analyze it.’

[Understood.]

Nano began to scan the traces.

[Found marks left by same entities from the first floor. One entity left one formation created with twenty-four movements. Another entity left a total of fifty-six formations over time.]

Nano was much quicker in scanning it since it had prior information.

‘It now has more formations here.’
