The management of the library was very loose. After you enter the library with your student card, you can directly choose a book and read it at the table prepared in the library. Of course, you can also borrow it. But when you borrow it, you need to register it at the bar in front of the library. There are people there who specifically record what books you borrow.
Moreover, the library also has a rule. After you borrow a book, if you can't return it, then you can't borrow it a second time. Moreover, the number of books you can borrow each time can't exceed ten, and the borrowing period can't exceed one year. If you can't return the book after one year, then the academy will pursue the matter.
Zhao Hai entered the library. There was no one in the library, only an old man sitting listlessly at the bar. The old man was dozing off, but he was awakened by Zhao Hai's footsteps. When he opened his eyes, he saw Zhao Hai's huge figure walking into the library. The old man couldn't help but be surprised.
Zhao Hai didn't care so much. After he entered the library, he went to a small shelf next to the bookshelf and looked at the book cards. These book cards had the title of the book, the author, and some other information. Zhao Hai carefully looked at the book cards. He couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't think that the library would have so many books that he hadn't read before. This was really an unexpected surprise.
Zhao casually wrote down the names and locations of the ten books that he hadn't seen before. Then he went straight to the bookshelf and took the ten books out. He took the books to the bar in front of the door and put the books on the counter. "Old man, I want to borrow these ten books. Can you register them for me?" Zhao asked the old man. The old man nodded and said, "Old man, I want to borrow these ten books."
The old man nodded. He took the titles of the books and was stunned for a while. This was because these books were about basic martial skills. They were basically just decorations. As long as one could enter the Saber Sage Pavilion to study, no one would read these low-level books.
Zhao Hai didn't care so much. He read all kinds of books. Not to mention low-level books, even the most basic books, as long as they weren't written by one person, he would read them.
The old man looked at Zhao Hai. In the end, he didn't say anything. He just picked up a pen and recorded the books. Then he gave them to Zhao Hai. He also told him the time to return the books and some other rules to Zhao Hai.
Zhao just nodded, then took the book and left. He couldn't read in the library, because Dao Baiying might come looking for him today. If Dao Baiying really did come looking for him, then it wouldn't be good for him to hide in the library.
When Zhao Hai took the books back to his room, he discovered that there were already students in the academy. Some of these students were jogging, some were even observing the plants in the academy. There were also some who were reading books in the morning.
Zhao Hai looked at the appearance of these students and couldn't help but nod. The clothes that these students wore weren't very good. It can be seen that their family backgrounds weren't very good. This was a special group in the academy, the genius students.
Although Zhao Hai had just entered the academy, he had some understanding of the students here. The students here were divided into several types. One type was the Imperial Family, like Dao Baiying. The other type was the Great Clan's disciples, like Hu Xian 'er. Although the Imperial Family's disciples were the most powerful in the academy, disciples like Hu Xian' er weren't afraid of them. Therefore, they were considered to be on the same level.
The second type of students were like the disciples of the middle class families. Just like Lang Shiping and Yang Defeng, they were disciples of the middle class families with very high status. They entered the academy in order to establish connections for their families and find a backer. Therefore, people like them would generally circle around the disciples of the imperial family or the disciples of the large families.
The third type of students were the genius students. These genius students, like the ones Zhao Hai saw in the morning, didn't have a good family background. Many of them were just soul bearers, so they didn't have any status. However, they were geniuses, so they were specially recruited by the Academy to study. As long as they graduated, they would immediately become guests of the Great Clans, and even the Royal Family would want to win them over. These people had a special status, so all of their expenses were generally provided by the Academy. The money provided by the Academy wasn't too much, but it wasn't too little either. It was enough for them to live a luxurious life, but it was impossible for them to live a luxurious life. Of course, they could also receive financial support from the Great Clans. After they graduate, they would enter the Great Clans and become guest elders. Of course, there were also some geniuses who slowly lost themselves in this luxurious life, and eventually faded into the crowd.
The fourth type of student was someone like Ma Liang. These people might have some use in their own clans, but in the academy, their status was the most awkward. They weren't the next Patriarch of their clans, so they couldn't make decisions. They weren't strong enough to receive the attention of the academy. Because of this, the best outcome for these people was to stay in the academy until the next Patriarch was determined. Only then would they be called back to their clans and become Elders without much power, spending the rest of their lives in the academy.
It can be said that among all the students, people like Ma Liang had the least status. They weren't like the disciples of the Great Clans, they couldn't form groups in the academy. They also weren't like the disciples of the Great Clans, they couldn't represent their families and seek refuge with the Great Clans. They also weren't like the Genius Students, they didn't have much money in their hands. After deducting the tuition fees, they only had enough for their living expenses and their basic expenses. Although their clothes looked better than the Genius Students, although they ate better than the Genius Students, and although they were more ostentatious than the Genius Students, these people had the least future. They couldn't see their own future.
On the other hand, the students that Zhao Hai saw in the morning were mostly the Genius Students. These Genius Students knew their own status and position. They knew that if they wanted to live a good life in the future, they couldn't waste their time like the other students. They needed to study hard and improve their strength. Only in this way would they be able to live a good life with their families.
Zhao Hai looked at the students as he walked. The students also saw Zhao Hai. First, they saw Zhao Hai's figure, then the book in his hand, and finally the soul object on Zhao Hai's head.
When the students saw Zhao Hai's figure and the book in his hand, they thought that Zhao Hai was the same as them. But when they saw the soul object on top of Zhao Hai's head, they were stunned. They didn't think that Zhao Hai would be a Plant Soul. Plant Souls were the worst type of Plant Soul. Zhao Hai was actually a Plant Soul. This meant that he wasn't a Genius Student. This made the students stunned.
When they saw Zhao Hai's figure, they thought that he was either a soldier soul or a beast soul. At worst, he was a crafting soul. But when they saw that Zhao Hai was a plant soul, they were dumbfounded.
Zhao Hai didn't care about the opinions of these people. He took the book and returned to the Pine Forest House. The house was still very quiet, Ma Liang and the others still hadn't gotten up. Zhao Hai could only bitterly smile and shake his head. To be honest, if they didn't live in the same building, then it would be very difficult for Zhao Hai to become friends with Ma Liang and the others. This was because Zhao Hai didn't like lazy people.
Although Ma Liang and the others' talents weren't the best, they weren't bad compared to the average person. As long as they were willing to work hard, their achievements would be much higher. Unfortunately, after they were sent to the academy by their families, they became very disheartened and became very lazy. They didn't even put their heart into cultivation. They only thought about how to improve their status in their families. They didn't think that as long as they had strength, their status in their families would be higher. If they didn't work hard, then they wouldn't have any status in their families. It was that simple.
Although Zhao Hai told Ma Liang and the others a lot yesterday, Zhao Hai's best idea was for them to work hard in their cultivation. Unfortunately, Ma Liang and the others thought wrong. They thought that Zhao Hai's second idea was the best one, which was to develop their connections.
Yes, developing connections can improve their status in their families. However, this was only temporary. They needed to rely on the strength of others. Strength was their own. As long as they have strength, they would be able to speak in their families.
Zhao Hai didn't have any way to control Ma Liang and the others. How they develop in the future would depend on themselves. Zhao Hai took the books back to his room and began to flip through them.
The reason why Zhao wanted to look at these simple martial skills was because he was very clear that all the high level martial skills in the world were evolved from the lowest level martial skills. If he learned these martial skills well, he would be able to learn higher level martial skills with half the effort.
However, for Zhao Hai, reading these low level skills was actually a process of mental cultivation. Zhao Hai knew that his soul was now in the Soul Realm. Moreover, he always wanted to return to his body. This made him unconsciously impatient. Once a person becomes impatient, whether it was cultivation or development, it wouldn't do any good.
If Zhao Hai's soul was in his body, then he wouldn't look at these skills at all. Even if he wanted to learn, he could just communicate with his mind and learn it immediately. There was no need to read word by word. But now, he didn't use his mind to learn these skills. Instead, he read and learned word by word. This way, he could calm himself down and make himself less impatient. This was Zhao Hai's goal.
Moreover, in the Soul Realm, martial skills like these were generally written by hand. By looking at these martial skills, one could feel the person's understanding of the Martial Dao. The Martial Dao was also a type of Dao. This was very beneficial for Zhao Hai in sensing the Heavenly Dao.
