Chapter 14: Chapter 14
At this moment in the school library's 3rd floor, there's a lot of small rooms Originally meant as Holy Orchid Institute's student reading rooms, but at this moment, they became the base of Nie Li, because Nie Li has been hired by Holy Orchid Institute to be a library clerk. Being a clerk doesn't require one to do anything and would receive three hundred demon spirit coin every month, getting these kind of benefits who wouldn't agree?
The action of Holy Orchid Institute hiring Nie Li is exactly what he wanted. The higher level of Holy Orchid Institute did this to motivate Nie Li to work as a researcher, There is plenty of people chasing to become Demon Spiritualist but real scholars are very rare. Since Nei li talent is very trashy in cultivation they would rather have him become a good researcher! Although the position of library clerk isn't big, but is still a clerk of Holy Orchid Institute, this will act as a deterrent towards all those with menacing desires.
"Well at least, all that was not for nothing. And I also got this! " Nie Li pursed his lips as he took out another book in his inventory, With the title - Epitaph The Inscripti-o-graphy : Art of Inscription.
'Judging from the title, it's the reward for my show-off. I am quite eager to know how this hidden mission works' Nie Li commanded the A.I.Chip to initiative transfer all the information from the book directly into his brain.
As soon as the information was piled into his consciousness, the book exploded into a white light and disappeared, like a wormhole ate it. Same happened with the previous book too.
'Hmmm, interesting. Although I had stored up lots of content in the database, This book is actually very helpful in connecting the dots between Theoretical knowledge and experimental knowledge. There is also plenty of patterns, I didn't read or saw before, it can prove to be very beneficial in my research in inscriptions' Nie Li was now pretty eager to try making inscriptions now. He figured that he can even make use of A.I.Chip to coordinate with him, providing pinpoint accuracy while doing complex work.
He also noticed that both books are not really life changing but very experience oriented. That is, if he invested his time in either studying about Spiritual Beasts or in inscription patterns, then he could have reached the required level and gained the knowledge himself but the books speed up his progress in the field.
'Well onto the more pressing issue, I just spent more than a thousand demon spirit coins to purchase a primary soul crystals. I should test my aptitude!' Nie Li said while looking around the library, he has decided to binge read all the books today. He would most definitely be done by tonight and then he will immediately go to sleep.
He knows that he is in dire need for rest, against all the library roaming and hunting he is very tired, even with his steel like nerves and rock hard resolve he cannot continue any further.
He choose to get done with the Aptitude test now, So that when he rests the A.I.Chip will optimize a cultivation technique tailor made for his usage.
"Time to see my attributes and form of the soul realm!" Nie Li thought as he took out the soul crystal.
Glancing at the the piece of soul crystal in his hand, He started injecting soul force into the soul crystal, a few bright spots appeared floating around in the soul crystal, but the soul crystal is basically dark.
Nie Li didn't mind. The amount of soul force doesn't matter much to him, at this moment Nie Li paid attention to the soul realm.
Red soul realm, fragmented and disordered forms with no attributes.
"Attributeless with a disordered soul realm," Nie Li smiled bitterly.
'In this world, there are no crippled soul realms. Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, azure, and indigo are the seven colour types of soul realm. Each represents a person's unique personality and talents. Due to various reason, some soul realms are more easy to train, but that doesn't mean that red soul realms are crippled. If you find the right cultivation technique to train with, even with red soul realm, you can also unleash powerful strength, but if I were to say which kind of soul realm was the weakest, it would be the non-attributed soul realm. This is because it doesn't have any characteristic at all and the soul realm form is not condensed.'
Although Nie Li thought that all soul realms are very strong. Innate Talent do matter, If nothing else then it makes cultivation easier. Even though he didn't hold any high expectations it is still a bit of let down.
'Well no matter the circumstances, I will still not falter. Since I have resolved to reach the Apex of this world. I will see through it.' Nie Li kicked his depression and dived right into the last book devouring session in Holy Orchid Institute.
Nie Li kept turning books after books, at this point he didn't even pay any attention to reading the text. He was just recording it all ! His face has turned pale from pushing himself so hard. Even when his eyes were literally dropping, he kept reading ...
*Thum*
"Finally!" Nie Li dropped the last book on the table and he was face planted on the ground, He was done reading all of the book.
The sun has risen and another day has come winding, as Nie Li looked outside of the window to see that new day unfolding before his eye. He silently drowned in his own dreamworld uncaring of the A.I.Chip Notifications and another weird book appearing in his inventory.
At this moment, in the fighter apprentice class.
Nie Li's seats was empty, no one knows where have he gone. After yesterday demonstration his value and worth has risen in everyone's heart, they would love to be his friends.
As Shen Xiu is teaching in the class, her gaze swept past the one empty seats, sneered in her heart. "Nie Li you think you are so good, You are just a book worm, With your shitty talent you can amount to nothing. For you to become someone of power, That is absolutely impossible!"
If Nie Li had green soul realm or above, then he might have the chance to accomplish something in future. But Nie Li has a red soul realm! In her view, Nie Li is bound to be a loser in life! Someone like him is not even worth her time.
Shen Xiu revealed a faint sneer on her face as she continued to tirelessly lecturing "Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, azure, and indigo are the seven different soul realms, with red as the lowest grade. Within the hundreds years of Glory City history, only a few managed to practice up to silver rank demon spiritist level. Unless having some fortuitous circumstances, red soul realms have a limit for the soul force it can contain, which is 600, the higher it goes, the harder it is!"
