Chapter 72 Stubbornness and Persistence
After solving Moral's affairs, Arthur tried to find a solution to his own problem.
Arthur looked closely, his fingers sliding lightly over the lines of text, sometimes stopping to think about it, sometimes injecting magic to take the book over and turn a few pages.
When he was tired of standing, he would sit directly on the ground, and sometimes even run under those thousand-year-old bookshelves, carefully take down one and read it.
Time passed slowly, and no one urged Arthur, Moral had already gone back impatiently, and the old magician seemed to be asleep on the table.
When Arthur gently closed the pages of the magic catalog, he couldn't help but sigh, still finding nothing.
"Isn't it good that young people always sigh for a long time?" the old magician didn't know when he woke up.
"Old man, are all the books in the library here?" asked Arthur tentatively, with a glimmer of hope.
"How can it all be here? This is the Royal Library, where everything that has happened in the past 10,000 years has been recorded, and this floor has only books that can be borrowed at will. ”
"So there are other levels of the library?"
"It's a secret, but for the sake of being so polite to the old man, I can reveal it to you a little, the library also has a second floor dedicated to secret books and a third floor dedicated to top secret books. The old magician said with a smile.
"Can I go check it out?"
"Silly boy, since it's a secret book, it's naturally not something that one of your students can see casually. ”
The look of disappointment on Arthur's face flickered, "Thank you, I think I should go back, how can I get out?"
"Gave up so easily?"
Arthur could no longer hide the frustration on his face, "Don't make fun of me anymore. ”
The old magician suddenly showed a playful smile on his face, "Naturally, you are not qualified to watch it before, but recently the administrator on the second floor has been replaced by a little girl with a strange personality, she may like you and can give you accommodation." ”
"That's great, old man, can you help me intercede with her?" Arthur was unwilling to let go of the last bit of hope.
"I love to hear that!" said the old magician, "but I'm not going to ask her to be a little girl when I'm old, I can only help you ask her if she agrees?"
"Okay, thank you, old man!" Arthur, who has a super high emotional intelligence, knows the old magician's preferences, and is happy to call him a few times, anyway, he will not suffer at his age.
The old magician took out a magic token similar to Arthur's Blood Flare, and scribbled a few lines of characters on it, and the characters disappeared from the token in a flash.
Arthur knew that this was a magic communication function, and their Blood Flare Order could only passively accept magic transmission, and could not communicate magic in both directions like the old magicians.
After a short time, the old magician's token flashed with light, and a short line of characters jumped out.
"Boy, you're in luck, go up. Before the old magician's words fell, the magic circle under Arthur's feet suddenly began to flicker, and the light pierced Arthur's eyes.
When Arthur opened his eyes again, it was no longer the same hall, but a small study.
In the middle of the study was a huge desk, which, unlike the old magician's cluttered desk, had only an open magic book and a steaming teacup, and a female magician was reading a book with her head down.
Seeing the female magician Arthur stunned, he hurriedly leaned over and saluted: "Professor, it turns out that you are here!"
The sorceress behind the desk was one of the examiners when she entered the school, and she saved her life a few months ago, but Arthur never knew the name of the female professor.
The female professor slowly raised her head, and was also slightly surprised, "It turns out that the person the old mage said is you?"
The female professor's voice is pleasant and beautiful, and with that fiery body, what kind of beautiful face will she have? Arthur looked at the female professor's face hidden by the magical light.
"I didn't expect it to be you, I don't know what to call you, I haven't had time to thank you for saving me last time. Arthur bowed again.
"You can call me Shalene. You don't have to pay attention to the things at hand, I will help you find any books you want. ”
"Thank you, do you have a magic catalog? I'll find it myself. ”
"Even the magic catalog is a secret here, tell me what you're looking for?"
Arthur scratched his head and told Professor Charlene the truth about his situation.
Professor Saran snorted, "Let me see how you're doing?"
A magical aura appeared above Arthur's head, and the aura slowly fell from the top of his head to Arthur's feet, and then rose again above his head, repeating it three times.
Arthur watched curiously as the aura moved up and down, it was obviously not a simple detection magic.
"Although I am not a martial artist, I also know that your martial arts cultivation requires gradual progress, although the fighting qi duel you are cultivating now makes your meridians wider and tougher than others, but this violent cultivation method has also brought a lot of damage to your meridians, now it is only a subtle dark injury, but as the damage continues to deepen, the final result is that the meridians burst. This is usually the case during a fierce battle or when hitting a level gate. ”
Arthur couldn't help but secretly admire Professor Shalene, and Tony had already warned himself that the "Danyang Refining God" would explode and die when he advanced.
"Is there a solution?" asked Arthur hopefully.
"There is not a single book in the entire library that can solve your problem, and the only solution is to immediately give up and continue to cultivate, and change to another discipline to re-cultivate. Professor Charlene's words poured down like a basin of cold water.
Arthur clenched his fists, fighting fiercely inside.
Perhaps feeling that her words were a bit heavy, Professor Sharlene slowed down her tone and said, "I don't know why Keynes let you choose to practice this Dou Qi Duel, but this is definitely a dead end, there are too many Dou Qi Gong methods to choose from in the library, and it is too late to change it now, it will not have much impact on your martial arts path." ”
"It has nothing to do with Captain Keynes, I chose it myself. If I decide to change to Dou Qi Duel and re-cultivate, what grade of Dou Qi Duel can I get?"
"The Fighting Qi below the middle grade of the Xuan Rank is something you can obtain for free now, and if you are good enough during your time in the Academy, the King may reward you with an exceptional Fighting Qi Duel of the upper grade or lower rank of the Xuan Rank. ”
"What about that Heavenly Order?" asked Arthur tentatively.
"Don't even think about it. No matter which aristocratic and wealthy families or sectarian forces the exercises above the middle grade of the earth level are placed in, they are not a secret, and the owners of the heavenly rank exercises are even rarer, let alone spread outside!"
"Then Professor Shalene, what level do you think my current cultivation of the 'Danyang Refining God' can reach?"
"If there is no hidden danger of damaging the meridians, the Dou Qi that you are cultivating now will be able to reach the upper grade of the ground level in terms of cultivation progress and fighting momentum, and if you can really achieve the great success of the exercises, you may be able to compete with the lower grade exercises of the heavenly ranks. ”
Shalene's judgment of this exercise is basically the same as that of Keynes and Randall back then, but Shalene's tone of words immediately changed, "If the hidden dangers in the exercise are not removed, at most it can only be classified as the top grade of the Yellow Order." ”
The Beland Continent has a clear definition standard for the grading of exercises, so that martial artists with ordinary qualifications who can cultivate to the highest level of third-level warriors are classified as the yellow rank, those who have cultivated to the sixth level of battle captains are classified as the Xuan rank, and those who have cultivated to the ninth level of the war school are classified as the ground level.
A talented martial artist like Arthur can rely on low-level exercises to improve across levels, but it is not included in the calculation criteria, such as the pain caused by Arthur's cultivation of the "Danyang Refining God", ordinary martial artists can only persist to the level of the third level. That's why Professor Sharin classified the Danyang Refining God as the top grade of the Yellow Order.
Arthur looked down and pondered for a moment, then raised his head again with a determined gaze, "Thank you, Professor Shalene, I've thought about it, you can send me out." ”
"You decided to give up?"
"No, I want to keep trying!"
"Are you sure? If you continue to cultivate, you will die sooner or later. ”
"I'm sure!I'd rather die in the most heroic way possible than be a mediocre warrior who can only be manipulated by men!"
Looking at Arthur, who was as stubborn as a calf in front of her, Salene suddenly smiled.
