Chapter 22 Ch 22: Five Giants
Chapter 22 Ch 22: Five Giants
Alex pondered for a moment before making a decision. He arrived at the historical information section and picked up a historical record to read.
Alex's talent had already reached the top level of the Outer Sect and even many disciples of the Inner Sect could not compare to him. His comprehension ability naturally increased along with his talent. His comprehension ability was far from what an ordinary person could compare with.
At this moment, Alex was flipping through the books in his hands. His reading speed was very fast. Other martial warriors definitely wouldn't be able to reach this kind of speed.
Not only this, but Alex was also able to memorize all the contents he read with just a single glance. It was more like a photographic memory.
"I didn't know I have a photographic memory!"
Alex was surprised, then he nodded slightly and continued reading.
Time flew by. Unknowingly, several hours had passed.
Alex put down the last tattered book in his hand. His eyes were filled with satisfaction.
"I spent an entire morning reading here." Alex looked at the sky outside, muttering in his heart that he had gained a lot.
The Floating Cloud Academy was indeed one of the four big sects. This was just a random record on the first floor, but it involved the general knowledge of martial arts, Pill Dao, Formation Talisman, Spirit Herbs, and Demonic Beasts. It involved geography, astronomy, and other aspects. It could be said that this book covered everything.
After Alex finished reading these books, he had a preliminary understanding of this World.
After that, Alex left the Martial Arts Pavilion and went back to his courtyard, and started organizing the knowledge he had just received.
This world, Essence Sky World, was extremely huge. The Red Leaf Country can just be considered as a small house of the smallest village in an Empire with many big and small countries.
The Red Leaf Country was located in the Blue Cloud Region and Blue Cloud Region was just a Low Levelled Region. Then there were Mid Grade Region and High Grade Region. These regions were located in the East Essence Sky of the Essence Sky World.
Essence Sky World was divided into five parts. East Essence Sky, West Essence Sky, North Essence Sky, South Essence Sky, and the Main Essence Sky.
There was much to the future that Alex had yet to discover. He was already shocked by what he read about the Essence Sky World.
It was said that a hundred thousand years ago, the entire Essence Sky World was ruled by a single power known as Essence Sky Sect. But something disastrous happened that caused the destruction of the Essence Sky Sect.
To be called with the name of the world itself, one could think how powerful this Essence Sky Sect would have been in its reign days.
Then what kind of disaster it was that caused the entire Essence Sky Sect to be destroyed, no one knows. It stayed a mystery till today.
Alex took a deep breath, trying to calm down.
When he was in the Clear Sky World, he was unable to cultivate. His father was a powerhouse at the Spirit Origin Realm and was considered the most powerful man in the entire state. Alex didn't know anything about that world or how big the Clear Sky World was, he always thought that he was just a dark spot on the name of his father. Sometimes, he even thought that existence was tarnishing the great reputation that his father built after many years of hard work and effort.
Only now did he come to know that Spirit Origin Realm can not even be considered as an ant in front of a truly powerful being.
There were many other cultivation realms above the Spirit Origin Realm.
Thinking of his parents, Alex clenched his fists tightly. He wanted to grow stronger, strong enough to not only bring Asna back but to also go back to the Clear Sky World and meet his parents there.
His parents have really sacrificed too much for him. He had to repay them and fulfill his filial duty.
"Cultivate! I have to continue cultivating and growing stronger as soon as possible. My current strength is not enough right now. I have to do something to spread my name and earn Energy Points so that I can duplicate more treasures from people and fuse with them to increase my talent and cultivate faster."
Alex thought and started meditating. The knowledge he received lit up a spark in his heart that was slowly turning into a ball of fire. It would not be long before this ball of fire will grow strong enough to burn down the entire world.
Alex meditated for more than one hour before he was able to calm his heart down.
.....
The next day, Alex walked out of his courtyard and directly went to the Mission Hall.
He wanted to go out, meet some people outside and duplicate their treasures before coming down and continue increasing his strength.
He randomly chose the simplest mission to gather five stalks of Jade Spirit Herb and walked out of the Mission Hall.
The moment he walked out, he ran into a familiar figure. It was his cousin, Ethan White.
"Alex, are you here to do a mission?"
Ethan immediately asked when he saw Alex.
Alex nodded his head and replied, "Yes, I've just accepted a mission and am about to leave the academy."
Ethan nodded. Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he said, "Alex, remember to come back quickly."
"Why?" Asked Alex.
"There is going to be Outer Sect Assessment in two months of time. I've heard that the rewards for the top three are very bountiful."
When Alex heard Ethan's reply, his eyes lit up. He became excited but the reason for his excitement was different from others.
Alex became excited because he thought if he were to top the assessment, his reputation will spread once again. It can bring a big number of Energy Points to him.
Looking at Alex's excited face, Ethan thought that Alex was happy because of the rich rewards promised for this assessment. He didn't want to demotivate Alex but he thought, as Alex's cousin, he should at least warn Alex of something important. He said, "Alex, don't be happy too early. I don't know about others, but you have to be careful of five giants of the Outer Sect in this assessment."
"Five Giants?" Alex looked at Ethan in confusion and muttered.
Ethan nodded and replied, "Yes, five Giants. I've heard that these five giants are all Innate Realm warriors, only a single step away from reaching the Golden Core Realm. We are only at the Foundation Establishment Realm. It is not good for us to aim high in this Assessment. You can still aim to top in the next assessment that'll be held next year."
