5 Combat Code (2/2)

Seeing that Ye Yuyan had deactivated his energy, the old man relaxed. He let go of his grip and motioned to shake Ye Yuyan's hand.

”I thank you for your contributions, we of the noble path must cooperate to protect chivalry!” The old man said amicably as he shook Ye Yuyan's hand. Ye Yuyan responded in turn and shook his hand.

”Without honor what makes us human?” Ye Yuyan responded with a slight smirk. He seemed to radiate the aura of a benevolent immortal, this scene severely contrasted his previous devilishness.

”Indeed, virtue is the difference between beasts and humans. I am Cui Lu, the order's True Knight. What would you like as a reward?” Cui Lu said not concealing his appreciation of Ye Yuyan.

”I would like to join the Verulyim Code to uphold honor and chivalry.” Ye Yuyan instantly responded as he bowed.

”Mm, not often do I see young men of your caliber.” Cui Lu said as he stroked his beard.

”Enter the tower and look for Feng Shu. He will show you around and impart the code to you.” Cui Lu said as he pushed open the gate to the tower with one hand.

Ye Yuyan bowed kindly once again and then he entered the tower. He walked in and looked around to see massive bookshelves everywhere.

All over were flying books and people jumping around to grab them. He looked up and saw on the ceiling was a gigantic spell circle.

”Anti-gravity magic circle, formed from the blood of a void serpent….” Ye Yuyan mumbled in awe as he looked around. A void serpent was a high-level beast, one that could threaten powerful demon sealers.

”You must be Ji Shu!” A calm voice echoed from behind Ye Yuyan. Ye Yuyan turned around slowly and looked over at the source of the sound.

He saw a young man, in black Neo Victorian clothes. The young man had along his face the tattoo of a snake.

”Allow me to introduce myself. I am Feng Shu the Arbitrator of the Order appointed by his majesty.” Feng Shu said as he did a light bow.

'Arbitrator? Was he appointed to handle the relations between the three orders? If so that is quite a powerful title….' Ye Yuyan calmly analyzed through this man looked young, many high-level experts had very long lives and huge vitalities.

”Since you have chosen to join the Code. I will let you choose 2 combat codes.” Feng Shu said as he snapped his fingers and 9-pointed star appeared in the air and directed the star onto Ye Yuyan. Ye Yuyan grabbed it with his right hand and on his palm appeared the holy symbol.

”That symbol will allow you to pick up the books on the first floor. If you want to get to higher floors, you need to accrue achievements.” Feng Shu said as he handed Ye Yuyan a black hardcover book. Ye Yuyan took it and put it in his robes.

”For that, you can go to the help desk and get exorcist missions. If you need further instruction you can talk to Qiu Lu. I wish you the best newcomer.” Feng Shu laughed as the serpent on his face seemed to come to life and his body completely disappeared.

'To subjugate a void serpent like that, what a monster.' Ye Yuyan couldn't help but feel dread in his hear. With that spell circle and a subjugated void serpent in this tower, Feng Shu can be anywhere instantly. It's no wonder why he became the Arbitrator.

'Well then, they will probably investigate me soon. They shouldn't find any significant info soon.' Ye Yuyan thought as he looked around the room at the flying books.

'Combat Code….' Ye Yuyan mumbled to himself. Combat Code comes in many forms, its purest form is law. Ye Yuyan commands the law of frost through the inscriptions from Illathar's body. Combat Code is about inscribing weapon laws into one's body to command laws.

They come in different grades of 1-9 essences. The first three layers are low-level codes, the second three are mid-level codes, and the last three layers are high-level codes. The more essence a code has the rarer it becomes with 9 layered code reaching a legendary realm.

That kind of code is only owned by extreme experts and legendary beings. But on this floor, the highest-level code was at best 3 essences.

'Sword Code, that's what I need to find.' Ye Yuyan thought with a frown he needs to get strong fast.
