Ever since his teacher left the school, the huge Tasura School of Thought had fallen apart, splitting into three main factions. The Great White Bear, the Black Cheetah, and the Fanged Tiger.
Emin actually had other seniors and juniors who lived in a place far away. Those two seniors and juniors were different from him now. They had a lot of disciples and grand-disciples, and they had a lot of influence in the area.
They had invited him to join them many times, but he had rejected them all.
Emin couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this, and looked at Garon beside him.
"Your control is very good. This is a little convenience brought by the master-level precision blueprint. If you are willing, join my school. I can help you create the core totem, the White Bear. Of course, once you choose the core totem, it will be troublesome if you want to change it in the future. Also, this way, you will have to take up the responsibility of our school. "
Garen had heard him mention the situation of the Emin School before.
Hearing his teacher say this, he was silent and didn't answer immediately.
"When we get back, I will start teaching you the three basic tactics. It will probably take a few months. Think about it carefully during this time." Emin also knew that this problem was troublesome, so he didn't force it.
*****
Back at Emin's house, Garon followed Emin to briefly understand some of the information and principles of the first tactic analysis.
After hurriedly washing up, he went back to his bedroom on the first floor to rest.
The kerosene lamp at the head of the bed slowly lit up, releasing a bright yellow halo.
Garon sat by the bed, casually flipping through the large book in his hand. The cover of the book was printed: Biological Encyclopedia Illustrated Handbook.
"Once the core totem is set, if you want to change it, you have to wait for more than five years. At the same time, you also need a special dissolving ritual and materials. It's very troublesome … But, with a good core totem, you can have a totem light that can automatically react at any time in your life. "
He understood the benefits of this. An automatic defense totem light was enough to deal with any danger that a Luminarist would encounter.
Without the need to release the totem, there would be an automatic totem light protection at any time. This also made the Luminarists superior, and disdained even the strongest mortals.
Because no matter how strong the mortals were, they would not be able to break through this seemingly weak totem light. Because attacks without silver light would not be able to break through the core totem light. This was a difference in quality, and it was very difficult to overcome it with quantity.
"Only a Luminarist with a core totem can truly demonstrate the invulnerability of a Luminarist, and truly stand at the peak of mortals." Garon mumbled, hesitating.
Logically speaking, choosing White Bear was a good shortcut, but he knew very well that in the later stages of the game, White Bear was pitifully weak.
"Forget it, I'll learn the three major tactics first, then I'll accumulate the relevant knowledge. I'm different from the other Luminarists. Now that I've regained my strength, I'm standing at the peak of the mortal world. He was equivalent to a Master Level expert in this world. There's no need to be in such a hurry to determine the core totem's self-preservation. "Garon made up his mind. He rolled onto the bed and covered himself with the blanket to rest.
*****
In the following days, Garon learned from Emin the principles and structures of basic tactics every day, as well as how to utilize his own talents.
Just as Emin had said, the three major tactics were not difficult, not to mention Garon's physique. Even the average Luminarist could learn them by following the rules.
In this period of time, Garon's physique had recovered to 2.0 on average. Even his weakest intelligence had risen to 2.0, obviously due to the constant stimulation of the brain.
The three major tactics that he thought would take a few months to learn were completely mastered in half a month under Garon's serious focus, and he was exceptionally familiar with them. This surprised Emin. He also realized that as time passed, Garon's learning ability seemed to be improving faster and faster.
Soon, he suggested that Garon go to the underground library to accumulate his own knowledge. There were only some non-core books that he had collected, and only some general totem construction methods.
From his point of view, what Garon lacked now was the accumulation of knowledge, and a suitable unit factory that completely belonged to him. He could make totems for Garon, but a unit factory was different. If Garon was unwilling to inherit his legacy, then after he finished his apprenticeship, Garon would have to make his own unit factory. This was an astronomical sum of money …

"Now that you have mastered the three major tactics, what's left is to accumulate your own theoretical knowledge. Only with enough theory can your analytical tactics have enough data as a basis. Now, let's go to the underground library. "
Emin brought Garon to the shadow behind the stairs.
On the wall behind the stairs, there was a heavy black iron door, with a huge lock on it.
Emin passed the key to Garon, and turned to leave. He walked out and seemed to be explaining something to the little girl, Ning Ke.
Garon took the palm-sized key, gently inserted it into the keyhole, and twisted it.
With a click, the lock popped open.
Garon pushed open the iron door with all his might. It was pitch black inside.
He walked in, and used a match to light up an oil lamp on the wall.
Psst!
It was amazing. In an instant, a series of oil lamps lit up on the walls of the basement, forming a bright yellow line.
The first oil lamp was like a fuse, and it lit up all the other oil lamps in the basement.
The entire basement lit up in an instant.
Garon closed the door behind him, and quietly sized up the entire basement.
It was about the size of a small soccer field, and there were rows of black stone bookshelves, with a small number of books scattered on them.
A desk and chair were placed beside the bookshelves, and a few pieces of white paper for writing were scattered messily on the table.
Garon walked down the sloping slope, and felt a faint cool breeze flowing in the library. He walked to the first bookshelf on the far left, and glanced at the edges of the bookshelf. There was a black label there, with white words on a black background: Tactics Research.
He looked at the bookshelf, and there were only two thin booklets on it. They did not have a cover, and were completely white.
Shaking his head, Garon walked to the second bookshelf.
The label said: Encyclopedia of Biological Structures.
There were many books on this bookshelf, of different sizes and thickness, and they almost filled half of the bookshelf. There was the largest book, with pages half a meter wide, and the surface was covered with thick leather. Like a black shield, it reclined at the foot of the bookshelf.
Garon glanced at the cover of the book: Tasura's Illustrated Handbook of Creatures.
He continued to the third bookshelf.
The label said: Basic School Theory.
There was only one book on this bookshelf, and it was very thick, with a red leather cover. On it was printed: Totem Development.
Next, the fourth and fifth bookshelves were labeled with the same name: Theory and Practice.
The books on them were all about the travels, experiences, biographies of Luminarists, and so on.
Garon casually took a book and flipped through it. These books were all written with special symbols and words. They were all encrypted, and each one was different. There were a total of thirty-two books, and there were twenty-eight encrypted languages. Without these decryption methods, there was no way to understand them. Only a few modern biographies were not encrypted, and they seemed to be about other Luminarists.
With no other choice, Garon put the books he could not understand back on the bookshelf.
Most of the other bookshelves were about the same, including the shield-like black leather book, Tasura's Illustrated Handbook of Creatures. It was also encrypted with a password, and he could barely see the pictures inside, but he could not understand anything else.
There was only one bookshelf that he could see.
That was the second bookshelf: Encyclopedia of Biological Structures.
Emin had taught him a unique password during this time, and most of the books on this bookshelf could be decrypted with this password.
Garon took a book from this bookshelf, "Entomology" by Emin Kelesu … There was a long list of names behind it.
He flipped open the book, and his brain quickly decrypted the content according to the decryption method.
This kind of decoding was very slow, and it took twice the time to read a book normally. And it was very taxing.
Garon slowly decoded every word, and then read through it.
Time passed by, and after a few hours, he was only halfway through the book.
Garon closed his eyes, and felt that his eyes were a little sore, so he rested for a while. Then he continued reading.
His physical attributes had reached an extremely high level, and with an intelligence above 2.0, almost everything he read was instantly understood and memorized in his mind.
During this time, Emin also came in to check on him, and saw that Garon was fully immersed in reading and learning, so he left happily.
On the first day, Garon did not even finish reading the entire Entomology book. The book started off simple, but became more and more complicated as he read, and the biological systems introduced became more and more intricate. There were also more and more things to memorize.
On the second day, Garon continued to read and learn in the basement. Then on the third day, he finally finished reading the entire Entomology book.
Sitting on the chair, Garon saw the light red skill pane at the bottom of his vision move slightly, and a light red symbol appeared. He immediately recognized the meaning of the symbol.
'Requirement for complete mastery of "Entomology": Intelligence 1.4 (Met).'
The moment the symbol appeared, Garon felt that the parts that he had previously read that were a little blurry suddenly became very clear, and some of the hidden parts that he did not fully understand were instantly understood.
"The first book …" He let out a long sigh. His gaze looked at the other books on the bookshelf. Those included many categories, such as land zoology, avian zoology, aquatic zoology, microbiology, and so on. There were also some specific books on the side. For example, "The Structure of Butterflies and Insects".
Garon began to slowly read one book after another, day after day, staying in the basement.
Gradually, the books on biological structures on the bookshelf became fewer and fewer, and all the books that he had read were piled on the desk.
