The next day, early morning.
With the badge pinned to his chest, Chung Shen-soo arrived at the entrance of the library on the second floor.
The two gargoyles did not move at all. They just watched him quietly as he opened the blood-red door.
* Creak! *
An old smell assaulted his senses. Chung Shen-soo saw rows of bookshelves that extended into the room.
The area was similar to the elementary school library in his previous life. There were only about ten wooden shelves, and a row of forbidden bookshelves was separated by iron bars.
Roughly speaking, there were at most a few thousand books, not even ten thousand.
But if they were all related to Mystery, then it was already considered a very deep foundation.
At this moment, the library was empty.
After all, there were only four people in the Five Rings School.
Chung Shen-soo thought about it and went to the dining room downstairs. He got himself a cup of coffee and a sandwich, then returned to the library. He chose a table and sat down. He walked to a random bookshelf and pulled out a yellowed book.
'History of the Five Rings? Just as I thought, most of these books are not really books on Mystery. They're just introductions to some fringe information about Mystery … '
'There are no magic spells, no potion formulas, no description of the Spirit World … and no dangerous and forbidden experiments … These are probably all in the forbidden section.'
'But even so, for an ordinary person who has never come into contact with the Mysterious World, if he can read all these ordinary books, he will probably have some understanding of the Mysterious World. This is also the knowledge I lack.'
Chung Shen-soo lacked this foundation. He did not dislike it. Instead, he took it back to his seat and quickly flipped through it while drinking coffee.
He read very quickly, almost ten lines at a glance.
These paper books seemed to contain a lot of information, but in fact, the paper was very thick and the fonts were relatively large. Therefore, it did not take long for him to finish reading.
Chung Shen-soo immersed himself in the library, absorbing the knowledge hungrily.
Although these ordinary books did not really involve advanced knowledge of Mystery, he already had the Whisper of the Worm and the Secrets of the True Blood, so he did not really care about the others. What he lacked was this kind of foundation.
For example, some of the more obscure languages, such as Akkadian, which was even more ancient than Sumerian, had a complete dictionary here.
This made Chung Shen-soo realize that one could still fish out a lot of good things from the sand.
Two days later.
He nibbled on a hamburger while flipping through a travel book in his hand.
The author of this travelogue was probably a certain 'Perfectionist' of the Five Rings School of Thought. Although he only talked about some ordinary places, he also revealed many secrets between the lines.
It came from the Forbidden Book District.
Hmm, perhaps the books in the Forbidden Book Area were very dangerous, and there might even be some nameless techniques protecting them.
But for Chung Shen-soo, that was all.
After reading all the books he was interested in, he extended his black hand to the forbidden books section.
Whether it was the ritual guarding this place or the two gargoyles outside, they all seemed to be dead and did not respond at all.
"So it turns out that after crossing the crimson river and becoming an Advancer, one's soul will be refined … Even if one's physical body dies, one can still transform into a vengeful spirit … Of course, such examples are rather rare."
"But 'Perfectionists' can definitely do this, so they can be considered to have no weaknesses."
Chung Shen-soo flipped another page and saw the description of the Golden Sky Reaching Tower.
"There are steps on the surface of the golden tower … It brings eternal despair to those who climb it because they can never see the end … Only by praying to the stars in the sky can one see the path to the top of the tower …"
"It seems like … after reaching the fourth stage of a mysterious person, one will have to make a choice. If one doesn't obtain the favor of a great existence, one will never be able to climb to the peak?"
Chung Shen-soo's eyes moved. "Why does this feel the same as the previous world? If one doesn't communicate with an Ancient God, one can't become a Grandmaster? Do I have to do it again and pollute myself? "
According to the information he had obtained, when mysterious people reached the fourth stage, they would indeed have to make a choice. This time, he could match it.
"However, if the level of a 'Perfectionist' is equivalent to a Martial Grandmaster, then wouldn't it be equivalent to a Magical Ability cultivator … corresponding to a [Herder]?"
"In other words, the limit of my nature as a [Herder] is probably to become a 'Perfectionist.'
"And in this world, a being equivalent to a Primal Core might be an 'Immortal.' If I want to achieve my goal, I need to kill an 'Immortal?' Or become an 'Immortal' myself? "
To be honest, the paths of this world could not compare to the Undead Immortal Path of Yan Han's world.
"If an 'Immortal' corresponds to a Primal Core, then an 'Ascendant' is just a Primordial Spirit, and there are great hidden dangers … Indeed, I can only kill it."
After a long time, Chung Shen-soo closed the book.
After understanding some of the situation in this world, his plan was put on the agenda.
"Although I have been engrossed in reading, I have occasionally gone to the Spiritual Realm to try, but I still can't find the Crimson River. Is it really getting harder to advance in the mysterious side?
"Do I still have to rely on the Tenxiu Point? But the Tenxiu Point is precious, and I have to keep it to prepare for the main body's breakthrough …
"Moreover, this is not a breakthrough, but the Spiritual Body cannot find the Crimson River. The Tenxiu Point may not be of any use."
As he thought about this, Chung Shen-soo saw Jason walk in. "Professor is looking for you."
Jason's expression was slightly serious. "You will be teaching for the first time tonight."
"Are they finally here?"
Chung Shen-soo nodded and closed the book he had been reading.
Jason adjusted his glasses. "Eh? Why don't I seem to have read this book before? "
"These are all small matters. Let's go find Professor."
Chung Shen-soo casually sent him out and followed Jason to a classroom.
Unlike other classrooms, this one had no windows, and there was a lit candle in the middle. It was full of mystery.
Camilla was already there waiting for him.
Not long after Chung Shen-soo and Jason walked in, Professor Davis also entered the classroom with a black book under his arm.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and the newcomer, Levi Mojito!"
"Good evening, Professor!"
Chung Shen-soo nodded with a smile.
"You have been in the library these days. It seems that you have some understanding of the Fifth Ring School, right?"
Davis put down the book and said solemnly.
"Yes." Although the Fifth Ring School was terrible now, it had been powerful for a period of time in history. It could be said that it had a heavy historical foundation.
At the very least, Chung Shen-soo had a great time reading.
"Alright, I will be teaching mysticism lessons next … Well, you may have a poor foundation, but remember to take more notes and learn from Jason and the others."
Davis asked indifferently, picking up his teacup. "Right, have you studied on your own before? How far have you explored the spiritual world? Be careful, there are many dangers when you reach the Dark Gate … "
"Uh, I am already an 'Extraordinary'."
"Pfft!"
