Chapter 585: Choosing A Battle Art 2
“I have made my choice,” Zeras said to himself as he placed the art into his storage ring.
“You have decided to choose an art and can no longer return it. You now have only one more chance to choose another art, and you have three minutes left…” The voice rang out through the bronze hall, confirming to him that someone was truly watching him.
But he paid less attention to that, as he turned to the other book in his hands. It was a weapon’s art…
*Halberd Of The Conqueror: At the peak of this art, one would be able to create a total of three halberd images that can be controlled with the mind as easily as controlling one’s hands. The power of the axe correlates to how much energy the user is willing to bestow on it…*
*Grade: Lower Rare!*
The reason that Zeras had chosen to take this art was due to its enabling him to create a total of ten halberds that can be controlled with his mind. The highest number of weapons that could be created by other arts was only five at most. It was the only exception.
Besides, he could even increase the power of the halberds by simply pouring more energy into them. He had imagined a scenario where he had poured very little power into the halberds, making his opponent ignore them, then suddenly tripled the power of the halberds, catching his opponent off guard and heavily damaging them. It would be a nice surprise attack.
“You have sixty seconds more to choose or be automatically evicted…” The voice rang out once more, as Zeras shrugged. He had decided to also throw the book in his spatial ring when suddenly…
“MEEEEEEEOOOOOWWW!” An incredibly loud sound of cat mewing was suddenly heard. Zeras’ hand that was about to put the book in his ring suddenly stopped mid-air, and he turned to the side where Fluffy could be seen running towards him with all his speed.
But what really piqued Zeras’ curiosity was the large book that was held in Fluffy’s tiny mouth, with the cat’s spittle running down on it.
“MEEOOOW!” Fluffy called out once more as it dropped the large book at Zeras’ feet and pointed its tiny fingers at it.
“MEEEOOOW!!!” It called out urgently once more, as Zeras bent down to the large book and picked it up, his gaze turning to its title.
“Hmmm, Star Breathing Sword Arts?” Zeras mused in surprise as he turned his gaze to look at the grade of the technique and found out it was only at Peak Common!
“Hmm, this is even lower than the one I picked…” Zeras asked, turning to look at Fluffy, who meowed at him, still adamant about him picking the book.
“You have six seconds more to take your pick, 5…4…3…2…”
In the fraction of a second, Zeras made his choice. He placed the Halberd of the Conqueror art back onto the shelf and held the Star Breathing Art in his hands before a bright flash of light erupted, swallowing both him and Fluffy.
They both disappeared into the light, and the next second, Zeras found himself before the large bronze doors of the hall.
Turning to look below him, he could see Fluffy now on his shoulder, with a big smile on its face as it looked at Zeras’ hands, which held the book Star Breathing Art.
“I should allow you to also make a choice, whether right or wrong, shouldn’t I?” Zeras asked as he rubbed the little guy’s jaw before keeping the book in his storage ring.
Even though the grade of the book was lower, Zeras had still abandoned the better book and chosen the one that Fluffy gave to him. Why? Because it was Fluffy who picked it. There doesn’t have to be any complex reason why he had to pick it up more than that.
“Now, now, let’s go choose a Cultivation manual…” Zeras said to it, as he walked towards the large silver doors, unaware of the eyes that followed him as he entered into the large silver door…
The inside of the hall was just like the bronze hall, except instead of bronze, it was covered with a silver color and was less big than the bronze hall, with also lesser manuals.
“As an Outer Sect member, you have only twenty minutes to choose a manual…” The voice declared to him, as most in the hall turned their attention to the small silvery-haired boy with raised eyebrows.
Zeras’ heart chilled within his chest as he looked around the hall and noticed everyone currently within it were all Inner Sect disciples, towering over him like giants.
They were all wondering how the young chap possessed a silver card in his hands when he wasn’t one of the four Outer Sect lords, and also donning an Outer Sect disciple uniform…
But Zeras kept his face down as he quickly disappeared among the shelves, with nobody around, in order to avoid their gaze, and they all returned back to choosing their manuals. Zeras heaved a small sigh of relief when he noticed all the attention on him disappear.
“Huuuu, now let’s choose a manual…” Zeras mused as he looked around the shelf he was in and noticed the tags on them, but soon realized a problem: the majority of the shelves had battle arts instead of manuals.
But suddenly…
“MEOOOOW!” The sound of a meow rang out as Zeras turned to the far distance and saw Fluffy, who was pointing its tiny paws upwards.
Turning to look at the arch door’s top, he could see the words on it.
“Silver Manual Halls….” It read, and Zeras walked into it. He looked at the shelves and couldn’t help but give Fluffy another jaw rub when he saw it was just what he was looking for.
Fire Cultivation Manuals, Water Cultivation Manuals, Lightning Cultivation Manuals, Blood Cultivation Manuals, Destructive Energy Cultivation Manuals…
