Chapter 136 – Setting Out

(Mustang: Hey guys, this is the seventh Regular Chapter for this week.)

Bi Fan looked at the name of the next book, ‘Swimming Dragon’, and he immediately put it back.

Bi Fan picked up the book next to it, as he prepared to memorize its contents inside his mind. Even if a method wasn’t suited for his practice, he still wanted to learn it for future reference.

‘The Phoenix Heaven’ fist; Bi Fan didn’t know that one, so he sat down on the ground once again, and started looking it over.

Bi Fan was going over these books so fast, that no one would believe that he was actually reading them.

Yan Yu Si saw the manner in which Bi Fan was going over these books, but didn’t say much.

Once Bi Fan was done with this book, he put it back, and picked up the next one.

In an instant, half a day had passed away, and Bi Fan had already memorized twenty books. He’d select a book, quickly browse through it, and then, he’d put it back, and would repeat the process again.

“Bi Fan, you must quickly find the appropriate martial skill that you wish to practice, and then copy it. Don’t waste your time shuffling through books like that.” Yan Yu Si couldn’t help it anymore.

Bi Fan replied: “I want to look all the books over once, and then I’ll decide which one I want to make a copy off.”

In reality, Bi Fan knew exactly what he was doing; since he was capable of memorizing any book in one read, he really had no interest in copying them on paper.

Bi Fan couldn’t forget that he only had two days’ time, and he wanted to memorize all the martial skills books inside the Quinyang Library in that time.

As a result, Bi Fan stopped paying attention to Yan Yu Si’s presence, and started concentrating on the task at hand, wholeheartedly.

Bi Fan would open a book, and would browse through it very quickly.

Since he wanted to memorize the entire books collection in the Library, he really couldn’t help but increase his speed. His normal speed was awfully fast, and now, he had almost doubled it.

His head was a complete mystery, and not even a single word was forgotten from the texts he had read so far.

In the next half of the day, since he didn’t take any rest, Bi Fan managed to devour another thirty-eight books.

He hadn’t written anything down yet, but was still able to recall everything he had read so far, a feat, which ordinary men simply aren’t capable of reproducing.

Bi Fan was a like a sponge, and his ability to absorb knowledge was absolutely mesmerizing.

Yan Yu Si could see that Bi Fan was very busy with his work, so she didn’t disturb him again.

There were many books inside the Quinyang Sect’s Library, but Yan Yu Si had read most of them, which is why she didn’t have much interest in them. She was spending her time going over the books which talked about people’s experiences, and sometimes she would also go over to Grandpa Ling for a chat.

The two days passed in a flash, and Bi Fan had almost read through the entire book selection that he wished to, and was now busy copying a book which talked about ‘The Electric Sword’ technique. But he hadn’t yet finished copying the text completely; on paper.

“Bi Fan, I told you to start making the copies as early as possible. Look, now you haven’t even finished making one copy here.” Yan Yu Si seemed very angry.

Yan Yu Si wasn’t actually angry with Bi Fan, but was simply worried that Bi Fan had missed a great opportunity.

The old man saw it, and revealed a profound smile.

Bi Fan was on the verge of returning the book to its shelf, since it was time for him to leave.

The old man smiled and said: “It doesn’t not matter, take your time. Young Bi Fan, quickly make yourself a copy, and return the book to its place before you leave.”

“Thank you Grandpa Ling!” Yan Yu Si was standing next to the old man, and was clutching the man’s arm gently.

Bi Fan couldn’t help but stare; Yan Yu Si was acting like a spoilt little baby, but even then, looked as beautiful as always.

Yan Yu Si said: “Bi Fan, quickly copy the text; Grandpa Ling is already being very lenient.”

“Oh? Thank you Grandpa Ling.” Bi Fan continued to transcribe the book, since he didn’t want people to know about his photographic memory.

A little limelight in necessary, but too much of it can cause problems.

Bi Fan knew this truth well, which is why he preferred keeping a low-key profile.

Copying the text was a tiring job, and Bi Fan spent another two hours, before he was finally able to finish making a copy of ‘The Electric Sword’ skill’s book.

“Miss Yan Yu Si, Grandpa Ling, I’m done with the work.”
