Practicing all the time, Jian Chen opened his eyes when his realm had stabilized, and suddenly found Su Mei sitting on the floor in front of him, smiling.
"Did brother Chen break through?" It was surprising when the first question Su Mei asked was Jian Chen's own condition.
Recalling yesterday's events, Jian Chen never thought that Su Mei would ask about himself condition instead of what her had experienced before. But Jian Chen was quite happy and smiled lightly.
This was also in line with what he had planned today, and said, "From now on, there will be many things that will change since yesterday's events, but I won't say it,"
Didn't say anything about yesterday's incident to Su Mei not because Jian Chen didn't want to be honest or couldn't believe it, but he didn't want Su Mei to know because the incident was probably too big for her to know.
With his current state, which was said to be still very weak, Jian Chen did not want Su Mei to find out that Shao Da He died at his hands. With all the risks that would come, Jian Chen would never tell Su Mei that he himself could not truly bear the risks.
It's too risky.
So, without waiting for the girl to ask, Jian Chen immediately got up and said solemnly, “I will be out, maybe a little longer, but you have to promise to never leave the house before I come back, understand?”
Su Mei fell silent and looked at Jian Chen for some time while thinking and seeming to want to say something, but she finally nodded in understanding.
"As long as brother Chen promises to come back, Su Mei will do whatever brother Chen wants." Su Mei said which immediately made Jian Chen smile gently.
Reaching out his hand and stroking Su Mei's hair with a sincere smile, Jian Chen nodded and promised, "I will definitely come back."
...
Coming out of his residence with a breath of fresh morning air, Jian Chen had already determined his goal, that was to strengthen himself and truly find out what kind of world this was.
Because Jian Chen in the past was too stupid to study and practice, inevitably Jian Chen had to once again learn to understand this world so as not to take the wrong path when practicing.
"First of all, let's go to the sect library to find out about this kind of world, then to the Secret Hall to learn Martial Arts skills."
According to the memory of the previous owner of the body, the Sect Library was located in the inner part of the Sect. When Jian Chen headed there, he automatically found various kinds of disciples with varying strengths. But clearly, the people he met were mostly at the third level of Qi training stage.
Looking at these people, most of whom were stronger than himself, Jian Chen once again felt that he was the weakest person. Inevitably, it also made him think that he had to quickly become stronger, so he could walk freely wherever he went.
Arriving in front of the Sect library, the place was apparently empty of visitors. There was only one person there, it was an old man in shabby clothes with long messy hair who was sweeping the yard.
Seeing this old man, Jian Chen felt that it seemed like he was not there, but he was clearly in front of him.
Jian Chen frowned to check the old man, but it turned out to be an ordinary old man. However, while Jian Chen was watching him, the person suddenly stopped swinging his broom, and turned his head.
"This..."
Upon seeing him, Jian Chen suddenly felt that there was something mysterious that made him unable to move, and stopped. As if being stripped naked, the man seemed to be able to see himself directly.
Without realizing it, Jian Chen's heart also began to beat hundreds of times faster.
"Strong!" One word suddenly appeared in his head.
Luckily the old man only looked at him for a moment, and then went back to sweeping the yard.
"If you want to come in, come in quickly. Don't stand there and dirty the yard."
An old voice, filled with an air of calm and dignity suddenly sounded in Jian Chen's ears, and once again, he finally knew that this old man was no ordinary old man. It also made Jian Chen realize his mistake for presumptuously examining it.
To make amends, he immediately went to the old man to apologize, then politely bowed and saluted.
“Forgive this young one for not knowing the heights of heaven and earth.”
There was no reply from the old man, but Jian Chen knew he should not linger here and said again, “Disciple Jian Chen requests permission to enter the library to study the world, please guide him.”
When he heard Jian Chen's request, the man stopped what he was doing, but only for a moment and then went back to sweeping the yard.
Jian Chen himself, since he had asked for permission, he politely walked over to the library and simply entered.
The old man did not stop him, only after Jian Chen entered the door did the old man turn around and slightly give a meaningful glance.
...
After entering, Jian Chen stopped slightly and felt amazed by what was before him.
Previously, when he looked from the outside, this library actually looked like just a small room, but after entering it, Jian Chen discovered that the room inside was actually very large with hundreds of shelves lined up neatly and containing all kinds of books.
But strangely, there was almost no one inside except a girl around her age who was busy reading a book at one of the tables.
Jian Chen did not recognize the woman, and preferred to search for the things he wanted to know.
There were many things Jian Chen wanted to learn, and after choosing five books that he thought were important, he couldn't help but return to the woman from before, because in this library there were only two seats, and that was only in front of the girl.
But before sitting down, Jian looked at the woman first and said, "Hello, may I sit here?"
Jian Chen tried to ask for permission, but the girl did not reply and continued to lower her head. Jian Chen felt that the girl didn't hear him, so asked for permission again, but she still didn't answer.
Jian Chen no longer cared, and simply sat down in front of him.
The first book Jian Chen studied was about medicine in this World, then weapons, other basic knowledge, and the last was history, and this World.
As Jian Chen had previously guessed, the Longhun world was indeed like earth, namely a planet with oceans and various continents in it, the difference was that this planet was twice the size of earth.
There are 5 continents in this world, the eastern, southern, northern, western and central continents. Meanwhile, Jian Chen's place now was in the eastern continent, namely Yanwu. According to the book of knowledge, the eastern region is the weakest and the strongest is the central region, namely the Jin empire.
From the books that Jian Chen looked at, he discovered new things in this World and that made him forget about everything else and just keep showing his head.
Until an unknown time, Jian Chen finally finished studying this world, and discovered that the girl in front of him was gone, but he thought too much about it and only felt amazed by what he had learned.
"Extraordinary! I never really thought that this world was so big and amazing. Many types of humans, animals and plants cannot possibly exist on earth. It's like a fairy tale world. But apart from its beauty, this world also has dangers that can kill you at any time without knowing how to die."
"Again, strength is the most important thing, it is the law in this world. No matter who you are, if you are strong, you are the law." Jian Chen felt extremely wonderful and excited about this world.
Gazing out the window, it seemed to be already daytime, Jian Chen immediately decided to go out, and go to the Secret Hall.
After coming out, Jian Chen discovered that the old man from before was still sweeping the yard, and when he looked at it again, he realized that this library yard was actually already very clean with no rubbish at all, but strangely the old man continued to clean the yard with a broom that seemed to be emptymade from mere wooden branches.
Jian Chen did not understand what had happened, but learning from his previous experience, he no longer dared to think more, and simply paid his respects before leaving.
"Strength is not how strong you are to defeat your opponents. More than that, strength also sometimes looks weak."
Had just walked a few steps, Jian Chen suddenly heard the old man say from behind, and decided to turn around. However, when he turned around he no longer saw the old man anywhere, as if he had disappeared into the earth.
Thinking about the previous words, although Jian Chen did not understand, he still paid his respects, and thanked him.
"Thanks for the guidance!"
Since the sun was still up, Jian Chen decided to go somewhere else, it was the secret Hall of the sect. where various kinds of cultivation techniques and martial arts techniques are located.
Different from the Sect library, this secret Hall had many visitors, even from a distance, Jian Chen could already see a crowd, which seemed to be commotion.
As he walked closer, Jian Chen immediately heard a young man suddenly shout, “Hey, forgetful and lazy old man! Why are you forbidding me from entering?! Isn't this place free for disciples to enter?”
Seeing the screaming young man, Jian Chen immediately knew that he was one of Wang Lee's subordinates, which did not seem strange as he acted arrogantly.
However, when he looked at the "old man" in question who seemed to be the guard of the Secret Hall, Jian Chen once again discovered that there was another old man who could not be underestimated at all.
Almost the same as what Jian Chen had encountered in the library previously, the old man sitting in front of the entrance of the Hall actually also looked ordinary without the slightest hint of strangeness. In fact, with a cane in hand and only able to sit on a chair, the man looked more like an ailing old man than a strong man.
Only, as Jian Chen learned from the incident at the library not long ago, he was certain that this old man was definitely no ordinary old man either. putting aside his appearance, Jian Chen was sure that this old man was definitely a strong man who was hiding his strength.
