Seeing his decisiveness, Pinaka nodded in appreciation. ”In accordance with our agreement, you can utilize me in any situation you need. With this, you'll still exceed all those on this continent.” Her words left Yan Zaizen a little reassured in his decision. Indeed, he possessed Pinaka, a spirit-rank armament with a profound power. If he used her in accordance with his qi cultivation base and laws, who could rival him?

He rubbed his nose softly in realization.

Wait.

”I don't have any suitable qi arts to use.” He stated, realizing his dilemma had yet to pass. Besides the Yan Clan's low-grade arts and Tao's Ascending Raindrops Technique, he didn't have any other arts for qi. Not to mention, none of his arts enabled him to properly utilize his laws. If he decided to rely on his cultivation base, wouldn't he be far weaker than others due to this?

Pinaka was shocked dumb for a second, looking at Yan Zaizen as if he was an idiot. If one truly looked into her eyes, they weren't filled with contempt or disdain, but sheer disbelief at the highest form of stupidity.

Seeing this look on her face, he felt uncomfortable. 'Why was she looking at me like that?' He couldn't help but think, shifting his eyes away from that gaze.

”You...you…” Pinaka truly felt shocked hearing his words. As she was resting inside his soul, they were interconnected in more ways than one. Earlier, she had investigated the Meteor Ring thoroughly and found an incredible trove of books scattered about as if it was thrown around like trash. At first, she just assumed he was a disorganized person that placed very little value in arts due to his lack of talent, so she felt disdain, but now she felt truly complex.

”You!” She raised her hand almost instinctively, wanting so hard to make a swiping motion to slap some intelligence into this individual, but she restrained herself. After a long moment, she calmed down. ”You have several arts within your sub-dimensional ethereal ring.”

For a second, Yan Zaizen was confused. Sub-dimensional ethereal ring? However, it soon hit him. The Meteor Ring! He couldn't help but remember him calling it that because it came from a meteor that struck him, but now it made a lot more sense. The sub-dimensional ethereal ring was like its own dimension and only the soul could interact with it.

The arts must be those books with the strange languages.

”I…” He wanted to respond with the truth, but he felt that he'll only elicit an expression of disdain from her, so he couldn't help but hesitate. Only after struggling internally for a while did he reply, ”I can't read any of those books.”

Pinaka went blank for a second but soon recovered. A helpless sigh resounded, ”You have an Aurora Soul Realm cultivation base, you can read and understand most languages.” She pointed out, as if saying something that was fairly known in the myriad realms.

It was true, all languages originate from the soul, and despite them having different characters or writing styles, they all originate from that aspect to facilitate proper communication.

When one reaches a high enough soul realm, they could instinctively comprehend written languages or even understand spoken languages. Speaking or writing it would be incredibly difficult and takes practice, but being able to read it? That was simple.

There were exceptions, of course. For example, if a soul at the Astral Soul Realm or above created a language, then only those who've previously studied the language or possess similar cultivation base would be able to comprehend it. Some special code-like languages could only be comprehended with the proper codex for reference.

There were a bit more, but all of these were the minority. The majority of used languages synonymously with the same race typically are produced from the most basic of souls. As long as one was in the Perfect Nascent Soul, they'd be able to comprehend it.

Indeed, when Pinaka explained all this, Yan Zaizen realized why she thought he was dumb. At the time, he was at the Advanced Nascent Soul and because he felt he couldn't read them again, he never tried again. This realization made him gulp with shame.

”I see.” Feeling her gaze on him, he shifted to the Meteor Ring. In almost an instant, he was before the scattered books. Pinaka soon formulated beside him. He was going to pick one up, but a thought hit him. He turned to Pinaka and asked, ”Which one is suitable for me?”
