Shangwu City was a famous city in the Warrior's Continent. This city was built according to ancient methods. The city walls were about three hundred feet high and ten feet thick. Moreover, these walls weren't made of ordinary materials, they were made of a special type of black iron found in the Warrior's Continent.
Black iron was a common iron ore found in the Warrior's Continent. Black iron could be refined into black iron. However, black iron wasn't very popular in the Warrior's Continent. This was because black iron had almost no advantages compared to other types of steel. The only advantage it had was its weight!
Black iron refined from black iron ores was ten times heavier than ordinary steel of the same volume. However, whether it was in terms of toughness or hardness, black iron could not be compared to ordinary steel. It could be said to be a very useless existence. In the Warrior's Continent, black iron was generally made into an appendage tool specially used to train strength.
However, this kind of black iron stone was different from black iron. Black iron stone can be said to be one of the hardest stones in the continent. Before being refined into black iron, the hardness of black iron stone was no less than that of steel. After being refined into black iron, the hardness of black iron stone was no less than that of black iron stone. This was the reason why the people of the Warrior Continent couldn't understand it.
However, this black iron ore was the best material for building city walls. Even when the warriors were making weapons, they had to add in some black iron ore.
An ordinary-looking young man carrying a fiery red greatsword on his back and dressed in a warrior's uniform was walking towards the city from outside. This young man's attire was very ordinary. He was wearing the most common warrior's uniform on the Warrior's Continent. However, the greatsword on his back did not look ordinary.
This person was naturally Zhao Hai. The Warrior guarding the city looked at Zhao Hai and didn't do anything. In the Warrior's Continent, the streets were filled with people carrying weapons. If one didn't bring a Warrior, they would be very conspicuous.
Zhao Hai looked at the city walls of Shangwu City. His eyes flashed. He didn't have this kind of stone in the Space. If he had time, he would have to get some of it. While thinking about this, Zhao Hai entered Shangwu City.
After entering Shangwu City, Zhao Hai first found a small restaurant. He ordered a few dishes and a jug of wine. Nobody paid attention to him. However, Zhao Hai's ears were listening to the conversations of the Warriors who were eating in the restaurant.
The reason why Zhao Hai came to Shangwu City was to inquire about this place. At the same time, he wanted to collect some cultivation methods of the Warrior's Continent.
For example, in the Warrior Continent, everyone studied literature. Moreover, in every city, there was a bookstore. In this bookstore, you can find all the basic cultivation methods of the Warrior Continent. Some of the more profound cultivation methods could only be learned from aristocratic families or martial arts schools. But in the Warrior Continent, there were also some things that Zhao Hai learned from the Warrior Continent. For example, in the Warrior Continent, everyone studied literature. Moreover, in every city, there was a bookstore. In this bookstore, you can read all the basic cultivation methods of the Warrior Continent.
Aristocratic Families and Martial Dojos were an important part of the Warrior's Continent. In the Warrior's Continent, there was no distinction between countries. In every city, there would be several Aristocratic Families or Martial Dojos managing the city. Even the city's army was controlled by the Aristocratic Families and Martial Dojos.
Aristocratic Families, as the name suggests, were Great Clans that were passed down from the Warrior's Continent. These Great Clans generally had their own secret techniques. These secret techniques weren't simple, each one of them was very powerful.
On the other hand, Martial Dojos were places established by experts to practice martial arts. They were just like schools. No matter what kind of background one had, one could go to a Martial Dojo to study. Therefore, Martial Dojos were an indispensable part of the city.
After knowing this information, Zhao Hai immediately paid the bill and left the restaurant. Then he walked towards the bookstore. There were a lot of bookstores here. These bookstores sold books related to martial arts. However, the central bookstore of each city had the most complete collection of martial arts books. Naturally, Zhao Hai wouldn't go anywhere else and directly went to the central bookstore.
The central bookstore of Shangwu City was very imposing. The tallest building in the city was the central bookstore. The entire bookstore was divided into ten floors. The first to fifth floors were where books were sold. In these five floors, one could buy any basic cultivation method of any kind of martial arts.
The sixth to eighth floors were where books were sold. If a Warrior were to find some secret martial arts books somewhere else, then aside from cultivating them himself, he could also bring them here to sell. As long as the bookstore took a fancy to them, they would give you a good price.
As for the ninth and tenth floors, it was actually a place to borrow books. However, not everyone could borrow books from there, and not everyone could go up. Between the ninth and tenth floors, there was an energy barrier protecting them. If one wanted to enter the ninth and tenth floors, they would have to break through the energy barrier.
Zhao Hai arrived at the central bookstore. Looking at the huge building, he couldn't help but feel that these three buildings weren't small at all. They weren't any worse than the large shopping malls on Earth.
Zhao Hai calmly walked into the bookstore. As soon as he entered the bookstore, Zhao Hai was stunned. On the first floor of the bookstore, there were ten Mego bookshelves. On this floor, rows of tall bookshelves could be seen everywhere. These bookshelves had a ceiling above them and were facing the ground. They really gave off an indomitable feeling.
There were a total of 10 such bookshelves on this floor. Below each bookshelf, there were some people in warrior attire picking out books. It looked very lively.
Zhao Hai swept his gaze over the people on this floor. He didn't stop on this floor. Instead, he went to the stairs on the side and went up. Zhao Hai didn't stop on the first eight floors. There was nothing he needed here, so he directly went up to the ninth floor. Naturally, he also encountered obstacles on the ninth floor. However, these obstacles were nothing to Zhao Hai. He easily went up to the ninth floor.
There were fewer people on the ninth floor. Moreover, this floor was different from the previous floors. There weren't many bookshelves here. There were also resting areas between the bookshelves. One could rest and read books there.
Zhao Hai walked around the hall on the ninth floor, quickly inserting a flying needle between the outer and outer bookshelves. He had Cai 'er record the titles of the books on the bookshelves. Then he found a book that he needed and took it to a remote resting area to read.
The books that Zhao Hai looked for were all books about high-level martial arts. In addition to these, there were also miscellaneous records about the strange things that happened in the Warrior Continent. Such books were very rare in the Warrior Continent.
The reason why Zhao Hai looked at those high level martial skills books was because he wanted to get a general understanding of the Warrior Continent's martial skills as well as their strength. Zhao Hai looked at these miscellaneous records because he wanted to see if there was anything about ascension.
Zhao Hai wasn't just reading books. He released a flying needle and had it scan all the books in the study room. After that, he gave it to Cai 'er to sort out and classify. After all, the Warrior Continent was a place that specialized in martial arts. The people here should have their own unique way of cultivation. Zhao Hai wanted to know what level of cultivation they had reached.
He stayed on the ninth floor for a while, waiting for the flying needle to scan the place. Then he put away the flying needle and went to the tenth floor.
He had no choice but to stay on the ninth floor. There was a barrier between the ninth floor and the tenth floor. If the flying needle came by itself, then it would certainly cause a reaction. If that happened, then he might be exposed. Because of this, Zhao Hai decided to come up.
Zhao Hai stayed on the tenth floor for a short time. After scanning all the books, he left the study room and went out of the city. Shangwu City was a big city. Every year, there would be a lot of people entering and leaving the city. Because of this, nobody paid attention to Zhao Hai. Originally, the several Giants in the city noticed Zhao Hai. But by the time they received news about him, Zhao Hai had already left the city and returned to the Space.
In the central bookstore of every city in the Warrior Continent, there were informants from the various aristocratic families. As long as someone was qualified to go up to the ninth and tenth floors, those informants would report to the various aristocratic families. One must know that those who could go up to the ninth and tenth floors were already considered experts in the Warrior Continent. If an unfamiliar expert came to the city, it would naturally attract attention.
Zhao Hai didn't know about this. However, he didn't stay in the central study room for long. Moreover, he quickly left. By the time the families received the news and wanted to find him, he was already back in the Space.
When Zhao Hai returned to the Space, he immediately turned to Cai 'er and said, "Cai' er, how many books did you receive this time?"
Cai 'er immediately replied, "Replying to the Young Master, this time, we received more than ten thousand books. Among them, there are ten thousand books about martial arts. As for other books, there are only a thousand."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Alright, you can sort out those books. If there are some low-level books that aren't useful, then just directly dispose of them. If there's something useful, then keep them and make them into books. Then send them to the various academies. Pay attention to the high-level books and miscellaneous books. See if there's anything that we need."
Cai 'er complied and then went to deal with it. Zhao Hai sat down. Meg gave Zhao Hai a cup of medicinal tea. Then she looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, are you going to the Magic Continent tomorrow? Do you want to take us there to play? "
Zhao Hai forced a smile and said, "I'm going there tomorrow to get some books. I don't have much time to play. You can go and play by yourselves. In the next few days, I'll be reading those books and looking for information about ascension. I don't know if I'll be able to find it."
Laura, who was on the side, said, "Brother Hai, I think you don't need to spend so much effort. Just grab a high-level warrior and turn him into an undead. Then you can ask him about it. The Magic Continent can also be dealt with this way, wouldn't it be faster?" Zhao Hai nodded.
Zhao Hai smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it, I'm about to ascend. I don't want to kill people. I'll just read some books and study them while looking for a place to ascend. I'll find one in the Magic Continent and one in the Warrior Continent. Then I'll ascend and see what kind of information these books can provide us."
