Chapter 155: Unexpected Match (1/2)
Alex was on the final floor of the library walking around looking at the different books and records on the shelf. From time to time, he would stop in front of a shelf, pick a book, look at it for a big and then put it back. Any outsider looking at him would think that he wasn't able to find something that suited him.
But, on the contrary, his spiritual sense was in full focus, reading a book regarding Beast Companions. Finally, there he found some information that he had been desperately searching for.
”So, that is how beast companions learn to fight, huh,” he sighed in relief knowing that Pearl wasn't an anomaly.
Beast Companions were born with inherent memories, or it might be more accurate to call them instincts. These instincts would allow them to learn how to fight, as well as learn new techniques.
Also, another thing the book mentioned that caught his eyes was that the more potential or talent a beast had, the longer a child they would remain.
”So, Pearl won't necessarily grow up from his child form until he has overcome his latent potential, huh. I wonder how long that will take.” He then looked all over the book, trying to find specific information, but there just wasn't any.
”What about evolution though?” he kept searching but didn't find an answer. He decided to skip it for now and look at the other records. He walked up to another shelf and sent out his spiritual sense to search for other records that were free.
He needed to see if there was any record of his body in here. ”Hmm…” he suddenly sensed an unusual record among the many. ”Ah, is this one of the records that survived that fight 50 some years ago?” he wondered and started reading it.
The information in the record was very broken and scattered. From what he could gather, it mostly spoke of the writers wanting to return to the land where no one entered.
”Is this the sacred lands where nobody placed their foot on because it was so holy to them?” he kept on reading. The Tiger Sect was set near the land where no one stepped in. But they had to move locations to where they were now. The records spoke of their reluctance but gave no reasoning as to why.
”What was so sacred about that land?” he wondered. Finally, there was one bit of information that he managed to read.
Where the Fiery Earth embraces the Yin-like Water, the Golden Wood of Yang emerges.
”Fire, Earth, Yin, Water, Gold, Wood, and Yang. All of the 7 elements are in one place. Is it talking about some sort of Alchemy garden?” that was Alex's first thought. ”Yin like water… what does that even mean? Also, Fiery Earth… why would earth be on fire? Not to forget the Golden Wood of Yang… huh?” the more he thought about the record, the more confused he was.
Maybe his master was confused as well, which was why he didn't mention this part.
He stopped thinking about it and read the other records. None of them had any vital information. Suddenly, his badge started vibrating. He took it out looked at it.
”98? I'm 12 levels higher than him. Why would he want to fight be? Whatever, I still have an hour.” Alex decided to look around for a bit first. He spent the next 45 minutes reading as many of the records and books as he could and took a random book before leaving the library.
