1290 Knowledge 2 (1/2)

Garen received it conscientiously and continued absorbing it. Once again, the immense nauseous feeling re-emerged.

He could barely hold the urge to bend over and vomit but immediately resisted it again.

”Such strong willpower. Very persistent,” Ann nodded with satisfaction. ”You are now qualified to become a Holy Spirit. If you are pious enough, that is.”

”Thank you… for the compliment…” Garen squeezed out the words. His entire body was shivering and coated with cold sweat as he crouched on the ground, too afraid to move as he feared he would vomit. He felt an excruciating pain in his abdomen as strong surges to puke washed over him.

Ann stared at Garen in awe.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

”Your soul's strength has dropped slightly. Seems like this soul toxin really does have a debilitating effect. Maybe it's because your resistance is relatively high, that's why I thought it wasn't working at first…”

She bent her head seemingly in deep thought.

At the same time, the floating books around her would flip its pages occasionally. Text and symbols would appear from thin air, so obviously, she was recording notes.

As time passed by slowly, Garen finally got through the potion's effect. He was so exhausted that he almost fell asleep.

Right then, Ann's raitensed her head once more.

”Cooperate with me and do a set of movements. Your spirit should be coordinated.” Upon finishing her words, she began a set of dance-like movements that almost seemed like an awkward social dance, but there were also some weirdly difficult postures.

Garen did not know how he was supposed to keep up with her. He had the body of a dragon. But since Ann said so already, he used his four limbs as arms and legs and started moving slowly.

With just one move, he instantly heard a cracking sound from his Soul Ring followed by the sight of crack lines, causing his heart to jump.

”Don't worry.”

Ann waved her arm and everything around them suddenly stopped.

Swoosh…

Garen's movements began to move around in a rigid and automatic way as if time was moving in reverse. He repeated the movements in reverse, from the last part to the first part, until he fell back to the ground just as if he had never started.

Garen stared and the cracks on his Soul Ring instantly disappeared!

”This… is the power of time…!” This was not the first time he had encountered such a power. The last time his Soul Ring ruptured, it was this surge of energy that rescued him, and this time, again.

Everything was back to normal.

Garen was able to move once again.

”You must constantly practice this set of movements with this toxin. After one year, I'll be back to see your results. Understand?” Ann asked calmly.

”Understand,” Garen replied conscientiously.

Seeing that he was so cooperative, Ann seemed to realize that her trading principles were not really met.

She pondered for a while.

”Why not this, I'll mark a set of maps of the plane for you, indicating all the places that you shouldn't get close to and I'll send you a set of books. You can choose freely here.”

”Thank you very much,” Garen responded eagerly. What a joke. Being able to control time, an existence like Ann should have reached a certain terrifying extent. The knowledge accumulated by such a powerful existence was no doubt hard to find in the majority of other places!

What Garen yearned most was the overall understanding of this entire universe. He just simply had no clue what he should pay attention to in this world.

This was naturally the time not to be courteous.

He braced the nauseous feeling and quickly scanned the bookshelves around him.

Spellcraft books were all written in different languages that could not be understood at all. Moreover, they were clearly locked by mana and it would be impossible to read them if one was not a certain level or did not understand the decryption method.

Potion books, he was not fond of using potions so this was a book he was unfamiliar with.

Garen's gaze soon landed on the History books.

The History of the Main Plane.

This book was just perfect for him.

”Are you done selecting?” Ann could sense that he had come to a decision. The book automatically flew out of the shelf and landed right before Garen.

”Thank you.”

”This book is really suitable for you, so you can adapt more easily,” Ann nodded in agreement with his selection. ”Go now.”

She waved her hand and Garen could feel everything spinning. His whole field of vision turned upside down and together with the books, they disappeared from the study room immediately.

Ann fondled her chin. All the books around her closed together slowly and flew back to the shelves automatically.

”There's actually something I can't resolve. God of Potions is indeed worthy of praise,” she mumbled to herself.

She held out her index finger and drew a stroke in the air. In a flash, a crack appeared in front of her and Ann stepped inside it.

It was unsure what was on the other side of the crack, only white rolling hills could be seen below. The sky was blue and golden sunshine shimmered as Ann floated midair. Suddenly, her body expanded tremendously and rushed forward.

Roar!
