Library of Heaven’s Path 2: Eternal Destiny

Chapter 46: Energy Storing Realm



Chapter 46: Energy Storing Realm

Unaware that he had become the target of many students' ire, Zhang Xuan caught up with Lu Mingrong and, seeing no one around, couldn't help but ask, "Dean Lu, why did you recruit me as an auxiliary teacher? I don't seem to have any impressive skills or abilities."

Both times he entered the academy, he had been careful and kept a low profile, so why had he attracted the attention of this prominent figure?

Lu Mingrong's eyelid twitched.

‘You almost bankrupted White Rock Academy and nearly disrupted our Source Pool Assessment, yet you claim to have no abilities? Do you need to bring the academy to its knees before you acknowledge your skills?’

Of course, he couldn't say that. Since Zhang Xuan wanted to keep up the pretense, Lu Mingrong was happy to play along. He smiled and said, "City Lord Yu mentioned that you have a strong talent for taming beasts, which is exactly the kind of expertise we need at our academy..."

Actually, it was Wu Yunzhou who had relayed this information after returning from the City Lord's Mansion.

Zhang Xuan understood. Indeed, in a world where beast taming was so primitive, having such a skill would naturally attract attention. It was beneficial for him too. He had been worrying about where to stay and how to find cultivation techniques, and now someone had provided him with a solution.

"What can I do for the academy?" Zhang Xuan asked curiously. "Just taming beasts? What level of source beasts are we talking about?"

If the level was too high and he couldn't handle it, he'd rather not.

"Auxiliary teachers need to do chores, but you've just accepted two students, so you're now a full-fledged teacher. You just need to teach them properly. As for your salary and benefits, I will discuss it with the other elders and make sure you're satisfied," Lu Mingrong replied with a smile.

The auxiliary teacher role had merely been a pretext. Such a genius couldn't be expected to do menial tasks. Now that he had accepted Yu Xiaoyu and Liu Mingyue, he was officially a teacher and didn't have to do any chores.

Surprised at how easily he had become a teacher and even received a salary, Zhang Xuan felt a bit embarrassed and asked hesitantly, "Could you give me a bit more money? Also, may I read books in the library?"

"Of course!"

Lu Mingrong nodded. "I'll first take you to your residence and then get you a library access pass so you can freely enter and exit the academy's library."

"Thank you, Dean!"

Zhang Xuan quickly cupped his hands in gratitude.

Being able to freely access the library meant he could learn about the cultivation methods beyond the Source Pool Realm without having to find books elsewhere.

The teacher's residence was a sixty-square-meter room with a hundred-square-meter courtyard. Though not large, in a place like White Roc City, renting such a space would cost thousands of source coins per month, which was unaffordable for many. Now, he didn't have to worry about rent.

Zhang Xuan didn't have much to settle in. He took a quick tour to familiarize himself with the place, asked about the library's location, and headed straight there.

His "Xuan World," treated as his Source Pool, wasn't entirely stable yet, but it was close. Therefore, his immediate need for Heaven's Fate Energy wasn't urgent. The most pressing task was to find more cultivation techniques to figure out his next steps.

Otherwise, he might be dismissed before even starting to teach...

Though he had the freedom to decide when and what to teach, he couldn't possibly let his students come and then teach them nothing. As a revered teacher, he couldn't afford to lose face.

Whether they were auditors or formal disciples, once they were under his tutelage, he would treat them sincerely and generously, as was his consistent approach.

The White Rock Academy library was even more grand and spacious than the one at the City Lord's Mansion. Books were neatly categorized and organized in layers.

Zhang Xuan presented the library pass given by the dean and, under the librarian's curious gaze, entered and quickly found the section on Energy Storing Realm techniques.

The first three levels of the Source Pool Realm were Sensing, Pool Seeking, and Energy Storing.

Sensing and Pool Seeking involved sensing Source Energy and finding the Source Pool, then nurturing it through special means. This process usually took a long time, and once activated, an assessment could be performed.

After the assessment and stabilization of the Source Pool, one must absorb Source Energy into the body to nourish it, thereby stepping into the Energy Storing Realm.

Reaching this stage marked the true beginning of cultivation, bestowing strength as powerful as a dragon, making one extraordinary.

As the lord of a world, Zhang Xuan's body strength was unparalleled. Even fully unleashed, he was far superior to a seventh-level Jade Bone Realm expert. Techniques like energy storing were optional for him. However, he needed to find ways to relieve the pressure of Source Energy and heal the hidden injuries within his body. So, he still needed to study and gather techniques to better understand and refine Source Energy.

Walking between the bookshelves, he casually picked up a book titled "Dragon and Tiger Energy Storing Technique" and gently opened it.

"Energy storing is the process of absorbing Source Energy into the Source Pool and expanding the meridians..."

"Source Energy is a volatile force, and even the Source Pool can't easily contain it. It requires the aid of a 'furnace' for refinement!"

"A furnace, as the name suggests, ignites a flame within the Source Pool. Different techniques result in different furnace powers. The stronger the flame, the faster the Source Energy is refined. The Dragon and Tiger Energy Storing Technique is a low-grade energy refining method. By utilizing the power of plants and trees, it can forge a 'Dragon and Tiger Furnace.' With diligent practice, it can transport 10 strands of Source Energy daily..."

Zhang Xuan's mind buzzed as a strand of Heaven's Fate Energy ignited, creating an identical "Dragon and Tiger Energy Storing Technique" in his library, complete with its flaws, perfectly imprinted in his mind.

"A low-grade energy refining method? That's quite weak..."

After a glance, Zhang Xuan shook his head in disappointment.

‘Cultivation techniques are classified into low, middle, high, supreme, royal, and imperial grades. Low-grade techniques are the weakest, yet this one dares to call itself the Dragon and Tiger Energy Storing Technique... What a waste of a name.’

With a light touch on the bookshelf, one book after another was copied.

"Turtle and Snake Energy Storing Technique," "Pine and Crane Technique," "Chaos Source Breaking Technique," "Heart Return Source Energy Technique," "Energy Absorption Storing Technique"...

Various peculiar techniques were quickly recorded and arranged in the Library of Heaven's Path.

While Zhang Xuan was reading in the library, Liu Mingyue completed her enrollment. At that moment, a groom approached her.

"Miss, I've brought Dao Li here. Should I tie it here?"

The groom asked curiously, having never seen someone bring a horse to school before.

"I'm giving it to that 'auxiliary teacher.' Let's see what he's planning!"

Liu Mingyue snorted coldly, deliberately emphasizing the words "auxiliary teacher" as she approached the Dao Li horse and gently patted its head.

"You've been feeding Dao Li all along, so it listens to you. Later, when it sees that auxiliary teacher, make sure it gives him a good lesson. If anything happens, I'll take responsibility!" she instructed with a glint in her eye.

"Understood!"

The groom hesitated for a moment but then nodded in agreement.
