26 Chapter 26: The Ronin Samurai! (1/2)
”Aha! we are here!” said Wang Guozhi as they stood in front of the dorm building.
This building was made up from concrete with a color combination between deep and light blue. Also, the dorm consists of five blocks joined together by a round common hall building at the centre.
From where they stood, Duan Li counted the number of floors slowly using his index finger with squinted eye, and found out that there are a total of ten floors for each block.
”So, your room number is 810 in block B. That's the eight floor, let's get going then! I need to prepare my report too for today as well.. haa.. ” sighed Wang Guozhi.
When he was first offered as a teacher in the academy, he thought that all he needed to do was teach. But now, to think that they had to prepare a report everyday..
What a hassle!
I should just hire a shadow writer..
...
At first, Duan Li thought that it would take quite an effort to go up the eight floor using the stairs. Fortunately, his body had already underwent a qualitative change from when he absorbed the spiritual Qi from the millennium Yidara tree before.
Therefore, he barely needed to take a break and his breathing remained calm. Had it been his previous limpy body before, not to mention the eight floor, even going onto the third floor would havealready caused his breathing to become haggard like an old man.
As they reached the eight floor, a student that came out from his room saw them and greeted with a cheerful smile and a wave.
”Ehh? Senior Teacher Wang Guozhi? Nice to meet you here!” he said.
”Ohh, Shen Lu! Your room is also on this floor as well? That's great!” he exclaimed with gleaming eyes.
”Could you show him to his room? He is Duan Li and is a new student in the academy! I needed to go now or else I wouldn't be able to complete my report for the day!”
Farewell!
After saying his piece, Wang Guozhi immediately bolted out from the opening at the stairs and flew away. Leaving Duan Li with Shen Lu in a daze.
”...” Duan Li and Shen Lu
Ahem!
Duan Li cleared his throat as he turned towards the man called Shen Lu.
”Nice to meet you, I am Duan Li from Xuan village, 21 years old. I'm sorry for the trouble..” said Duan Li feeling guilty that he was suddenly being passed onto someone else.
”Ahahaha! Don't worry! It is of no trouble! I am Shen Lu by the way!” the man replied casually as he laughed it out.
”Anyway.. you sure are carrying a lot of books there.. You don't have a spatial ring?” he asked with a weird look to his face.
Nowadays, no one actually carried such a burden along with them physically anymore as they stowed them all inside their spatial ring for convenience.
”Emm.. no.. not yet..” replied Duan Li with an embarrassed look.
”Hahahahaha! No wonder! Well, come! Let this brother here help you out a little bit!”
He quickly snatched a few books from Duan Li's hands.
Pointing to a direction further at the back, they began to walk while carrying the books.
”It's that way! Let's go!”
...
'creaakk!'
Duan Li had finally arrived at his own room.
In this room, he could see that there were one study table with one chair facing the window, a small table lamp, a bed, a shelf and one closet. It would seemed that every room has all these essential furnitures in it.
Bam!
Duan Li and Shen Lu put the stack of books on top of the bed.
”Thank you for your assistance brother Shen Lu! I owe you a favor for this!” Duan Li bowed as he thanked him sincerely.
”Ahahahaha! It's fine! Unfortunately, I have to go now too to meet someone soon. How about we eat breakfast tomorrow morning together? We will have more time to introduce ourselves then!” he suggested.
Duan Li thought to himself that this Shen Lu guy is pretty friendly and the air around him makes it easy for him to talk to with as well.
”Sure, let us eat together tomorrow morning then!” replied Duan Li with a nod.
”Alright! See you tomorrow!”
Bam!
Just like that, he made his first friend in the academy after Xiahou Yu.
...
Duan Li sorted the books out one by oneas he put them on his shelf. He looked at the paper receipt and pinned it onto the wall. It seems that he needed to return them within a week. If he wanted to continue borrowing them, he had to go to the librarian again to renew it.
”Hmm, let's start with this book..”
Duan Li picked out the 'Comprehensive Human Meridian Channel Compendium'
Thud!
The book was very heavy, swiftly checking the end page, Duan Li saw the numbers 461 at the end.
His eyebrows twitched..
”Could I actually reach the 1st level of the Qi Condensation realm within three days..?”
Haa..
...
Duan Li took four hours to finally finish reading the whole book. He massaged his temple together with his thumbs as he felt a little bit headache from all that reading.
Now that I have finished reading them all and memorized everything..
Let's see..
Duan Li closed his eyes.
Shiingggg!
Duan Li could see another new pathways that travelled around his body. It seems like this is the meridians inside my body?
He observed his meridians as he could see that there is a kind of flow there but everything was stagnated and flowed really slowly.
”Is this the internal force within my body?” thought Duan Li.
Within the book, there was a mention regarding the internal force inside the body that exists in the meridians.
This internal force is separate from the spiritual Qi, but they exists together as well. Like Yin and Yang, they made up the total amount of prowess one could hold if they master the usage of the both of them.
”Hmm.. now that I've learnt that one.. next should be.. the human acupoints huh?”
He put the previous book back to the shelf as he took out the '2000 Acupoints in the Human Body'.
Thud!
”...”
This book is even thicker, a total of 912 pages!
Even for someone who loved reading, this book is too much!
Who in their right minds would compile everything into a single big book?
Haa...
