13 Mysterious Ancient Book (1/2)
Chapter 12: Mysterious Ancient Book
Van walked towards the Ancient Book that seemed to have been left untouched for many decades.
He picked it up and wiped off the dust. Then, he opened the book and started to read through the description.
”Dragon Breaks the Void is a martial technique that cannot be learned by just anyone. They must have a strong affinity towards the Void element paired with a firm and steady Martial heart. This Martial Technique allows one to rip a hole into the Void and travel to your heart's content with only the strength being the limit.”
Van noticed a note saying that there were 3 more volumes that have been lost with only this one having been discovered in an abandoned ruin. With only one volume and its strict requirements, the Elders of the sect decided to allow this Martial Technique to be available to even the menial labor servants.
”I'll be taking this.”
THIS ITEM WILL NOT COUNT TOWARDS YOUR BORROWING LIMIT, YOU MAY PICK ANOTHER ITEM.
”Sweet! I'll take the Life Rending Blast!”
ITEM REGISTERED AS BORROWED. HERE IS THE FULL MARTIAL TECHNIQUE.
A golden orb of light descended into Van's cupped hands and became a leather-bound book with its cover depicting souls rising up to the heavens, giving it an eerie feeling.
Van stared at the book excitedly. With the power to destroy one's opponent's soul, who wouldn't want to learn such a skill? He quickly put it into his sack and bowed towards the Librarian's desk.
”Thank you Senior for your help.”
”Hey! Brat! Over here! I was the one who got you here. I OWN this place!”
The orb started to roll around as Yu Lin let out his fury. Van smiled wryly and sighed.
”Thanks, Senior Yu Lin.”
”Oh, you didn't have to.”
The orb stopped moving and Yu Lin seemed to be enjoying the gratitude. Van continued with his flattery as Yu Lin continued to be ”humble”, by denying all the flattering statements from Van's mouth.
After a few minutes of this tomfoolery, Van finally had enough and decided to shove the orb into his sack.
”Wait! You forgot to tell me how brave I was for defending my sec…”
”Finally, he was starting to annoy me.”
Van walked towards the Library doors and pushed on it. Immediately, his soul was transported back inside his body and he took a few minutes to become re-accustomed to his body.
”Time to learn these new Martial Techniques!”
Van was practically jumping up and down with joy as he ran through the hidden pathway to Sanji's abode.
He found a clearing with a small waterfall and lake before he sat down and started to read.
”The first one to learn will be the Dragon Breaks the Void Martial Technique!”
He started to read through the first section. After about an hour of contemplation, Van stood up, ready for his first try.
”So the first move of this technique is the Void Fist.”
The Void Fist required one to manipulate space causing one to be able to hit with a lot more force than normally.
