Chapter 72 Stubborn Persistence

After solving Moral's matter, Arthur tried to find a solution to his own problem.

Arthur looked at it very carefully, and his fingers lightly passed over the lines of text. Sometimes he would stop and think about it, and sometimes he would inject magic to take the book and turn over a few pages.

  When I get tired of standing, I sit directly on the ground. Sometimes I even run under those thousand-year-old bookshelves and carefully take out a book and read it.

Time passed slowly, and no one rushed Arthur. Moral had already impatiently gone back early, and the old magician was lying on the table and seemed to have really fallen asleep.

When Arthur gently closed the page of the magic catalog, he couldn't help but sigh, still finding nothing.

"Isn't it good for young people to sigh all the time?" The old magician didn't know when he woke up.

"Old man, are all the books in the library here?" Arthur asked tentatively, with a glimmer of hope.

"How is it possible that they are all here? This is the Royal Library. Everything that happened in the past ten thousand years has been recorded. The only books on this floor that can be borrowed at will."

 "So the library has other levels?"

"This is a secret, but because you are so polite to the old man, I can tell you a little bit. The library also has a second floor for secret books and a third floor for top-secret books." The old magician smiled. Said.

 "Then can I go and take a look?"

"Silly boy, since it is a secret book, it is naturally not something you, a student, can just read."

The disappointed expression on Arthur's face flashed away, "Thank you, I think I should go back. How can I get out?"

 "You gave up so easily?"

Arthur could no longer hide the frustration on his face, "Don't make fun of me anymore."

A playful smile suddenly appeared on the old magician's face, "In the past, of course you were not qualified to watch, but recently the administrator on the second floor has been replaced by a little girl with an eccentric personality. She might like you and can help you. You're accommodating."

"That's great, grandpa, can you help me beg her for mercy?" Arthur was unwilling to let go of the last bit of hope.

"I like hearing this title!" A smile appeared on the old magician's face, "But when I am old, I will not ask her to be a little girl. I can only help you, ask her if she agrees?"

"Okay, thank you, grandpa!" Arthur, who has a high emotional intelligence, knows the old magician's preferences and is happy to call him more. Anyway, at his age, he will not suffer.

The old magician took out a magic token similar in style to Arthur's Blood Order, and wrote a few lines of characters on it. The characters disappeared from the token as soon as the light flashed.

Arthur knew that this was the function of magic communication. Their Blood Glory Order could only passively accept magic communication, and could not conduct two-way magic communication like the old magicians.

 Not long after, the old magician's token flashed with light, and a short line of characters jumped out.

"Boy, you are lucky, go up." Before the old magician finished speaking, the magic circle under Arthur's feet suddenly began to shine, and the light pierced Arthur so hard that he couldn't open his eyes.

  When Arthur opened his eyes again, it was no longer the original hall, but instead came to a small study room.

There is a huge desk in the middle of the study. Different from the old magician's messy desk, there is only an open magic book and a steaming teacup on this desk. A female magician is reading the book seriously with her head lowered. .

Seeing the female magician Arthur, he was stunned, and he hurriedly leaned over and saluted: "Professor, it turns out you are here!"

The female magician behind the desk was one of the examiners when he entered school, and she saved his life a few months ago, but Arthur never knew the name of the female professor.

The female professor slowly raised her head, slightly surprised, "So it turns out that the person the old mage was talking about was you?"

The female professor's voice is pleasant and melodious. Coupled with that hot body, what kind of beautiful face will she have? Arthur looked at the female professor's face covered by the magic light and had many thoughts.

"I didn't expect you to be the professor. I don't know what to call you yet? You saved me last time, and I didn't even have time to thank you." Arthur bowed again.

"You can call me Stalin. Don't worry about casual things. I'll help you find any books you want."

"Thank you, is there a magic catalog? I can just look for it myself."

"Even the magic catalog here is a secret. Tell me what you are looking for?"

Arthur scratched his head and had no choice but to tell Professor Charlene the truth about his situation.

Professor Charlene let out a light sigh, "Let me see how you are doing?"

A magic halo appeared above Arthur's head. The halo slowly fell from the top of his head to Arthur's feet, and then rose to the top of his head again, repeating back and forth three times.

Arthur watched the halo move up and down curiously. This was obviously not a simple detection magic.

"Although I am not a warrior, I also know that you warriors require a step-by-step approach to training. Although the You Qi Due you practice now makes your meridians wider and tougher than others, this violent practice method also brings a lot of damage to your meridians. The damage is only a slight hidden injury now, but as the damage continues to deepen, the final result will be a burst of meridians. This situation usually occurs in fierce battles or when hitting the level gate."

Arthur couldn't help but secretly admire Professor Charlene. Tony had long warned him that "Dan yang Lian Shen" would explode and die when he advanced.

 "Is there a solution?" Arthur asked hopefully.

"There is not a single book in the entire library that can solve your problem. The only solution is to give up practicing immediately and change to another You Qi Due to practice again." Professor Sharing's words were like a bucket of cold water being poured over your head.

Arthur clenched his fists tightly, fighting fiercely in his heart.

Perhaps feeling that her words were a bit harsh, Professor Charlene softened her tone and said, "I don't know why Keynes asked you to choose to practice this fighting QI technique, but it is definitely a dead end. There are too many fighting QI techniques in the library. It's still too late to make a choice, and it won't have much impact on your journey as a warrior."

"It has nothing to do with Captain Keynes. It was my choice at the beginning. If I decide to switch to the Fighting Arts and retake it, what level of Fighting Arts will I get?"

"You can now get the fighting spirit below the middle level of the Xuan level for free. If you are good enough during your time in the academy, the king may make an exception and reward you with the fighting spirit of the upper level of the Xuan level or the lower level of the earth level."

 "What about the You Qi Due that day?" Arthur asked tentatively.

"Don't even think about it. No matter which noble family or sect is in the middle-level earth-level skills and above, it is a secret that is not passed down. The owners of heaven-level skills are even rarer, let alone spread to outsiders!"

"Professor Stalin, what level do you think the "Dan yang God Refining" I am currently practicing can reach?"

"If there is no hidden danger of damaging the meridians, the You Qi Due you are practicing now can reach the upper level of the Earth level in terms of cultivation progress and Your Qi momentum. If you can really master the skills, you may be able to compete with the low level skills of the Heaven level."

Sharing's judgment on this technique was basically the same as that of Keynes and Randall back then. However, Charlene's words changed immediately, "If the hidden dangers in the technique are not eliminated, it can only be classified as a high-grade yellow class at best."

The continent of Ireland has clear definition standards for the grading of martial arts. Warriors with ordinary qualifications who can practice up to the third level of warriors are all classified as yellow rank, those who have cultivated to the sixth level as warriors are classified as the black rank, and those who have cultivated to the ninth level are classified as the black rank. Level war schools are classified as earth level.

The ability of a talented warrior like Arthur to cross-level promotion by relying on low-level skills is not included in the calculation standards. For example, the pain caused by Arthur's "Dan yang God Refining" training can only persist to the third level. That's why Professor Stalin classified Dan yang Lian Shen as a top-grade yellow-level person.

Arthur lowered his head and thought for a while. When he raised his head again, his eyes had become firm, "Thank you, Professor Charlene. I have thought about it. Please send me out."

 "Have you decided to give up?"

 "No, I want to keep trying!"

"Are you sure? If you continue to practice, you will die sooner or later."

"I'm sure! I would rather die in the most heroic way than accept being a mediocre warrior who can only be manipulated by others!" It was as if a fire was burning in Arthur's eyes.

Looking at Arthur, who was as stubborn as a calf in front of her, Charlene suddenly smiled.
