With confident steps, Xiao Shuxiang walked towards the Sect Library, which was not too far from his residence. He was eager to acquire martial arts skills to support his inner strength. Xiao Shuxiang was always busy building his cultivation realm which never progressed, so he was far behind his peers.
After walking along a narrow and winding path, Xiao Shuxiang finally arrived at the Outer Disciple Library. The three-story building symbolized each realm of cultivation possessed by outer disciples. The first floor is dedicated to students who are in the Qi Refinement realm, the second floor is for students who have entered the Qi Foundation realm. As for the third floor, it is intended for students who are in the Qi Core realm.
Xiao Shuxiang found several other outer disciples who had just come out of the library, in their hands were copies of martial arts books specifically studied by the Black Dragon Sect. They were all generally preparing to sharpen their skills in preparation for the inter-outer disciple tournament which would begin in a month.
They all learned the techniques they mastered, as an outer disciple it was said that the books in the library were the basis for a Black Dragon Sect cultivator to develop when they became an inner disciple or later became an Elder like what happened to Li Haoran.
However, when some people realized Xiao Shuxiang's arrival, they looked surprised and looked down on Xiao Shuxiang. Even though in their assessment Xiao Shuxiang was already in the Qi foundation realm, it actually made their hearts filled with reluctance.
"Hahaha.. So you've been able to show progress, it's really surprising that a trash like you can break through to the final level," said one disciple sarcastically.
He had been paying attention to Xiao Shuxiang's condition for a long time, how could he not realize that there had been a change in the young man who was said to be trash.
"Of course I can, even I can easily surpass all of you" said Xiao Shuxiang indifferently.
"You think being in the peak Qi Refinement realm makes you confident? You're just a frog in a well"
The young man, who was still part of the outer disciples, snorted in annoyance and stepped forward. Immediately, the strength of the early stage Qi Core realm surged sharply, creating a gust of wind that was directed at Xiao Shuxiang's body.
"Stop it...!!"
At this time a voice was heard from the disciples who began to crowd.
"Who dares to stop me?" The outer disciple became annoyed when he realized someone wanted to interfere in his business.
"It's me.." said a girl wearing a blue dress with her hair tied back simply.
Even so, her pretty face looked unfriendly when she saw someone trying to oppress Xiao Shuxiang.
Looking closely, the outer disciple's face turned pale and seemed tense.
"It turns out to be Miss Xie, why did you appear so suddenly like this," said the disciple with a forced smile.
Xie Yuwei, who was one of the talented disciples of the Black Dragon Sect in the outer disciple courtyard, was also furious, even though she was a woman but her strength at the late stage Qi Core realm made her unshakable. Even the Lin brothers were no match for the woman who looked graceful from the outside.
"You're really useless..! How can someone like you oppress someone weaker," Xie Yuwei said lightly, sneering at the outer disciple who wanted to disturb Xiao Shuxiang.
Fortunately, after saying that, Xie Yuwei walked towards Xiao Shuxiang, ignoring the other disciples who initially wanted to oppress her best friend.
However, at this time a flat expression was seen on Xiao Shuxiang's face. Previously, he was very grateful for repeated help like this, but he only smiled slightly when the beautiful girl approached him.
"Thank you, I'm sorry to bother you," said Xiao Shuxiang.
In his heart, Xiao Shuxiang swore he would repay all of Xie Yuwei's kindness with all his soul. Even though this time he could face this kind of chaos himself, he still appreciated the sincere intentions of his best friend.
"Do you want to enter the Sect Library?" asked Xie Yuwei curiously.
"Yes, I want to find some martial arts skills," replied Xiao Shuxiang.
"That's good, look for what you think suits you and don't prioritize ambition when deciding what you want to choose," Xie Yuwei advised.
"Thank you for your advice" Xiao Shuxiang nodded slowly.
"How about you?" asked Xiao Shuxiang.
"I just finished," Xie Yuwei replied calmly.
"You'd better just come in, make good use of your time," Xie Yuwei said with a serious expression.
"Alright, see you later" said Xiao Shuxiang as he stepped forward approaching the library entrance.
Several people who paid attention to this just shook their heads, they had seen this kind of protection given by Xie Yuwei several times before. Even a disciple who was about to disturb Xiao Shuxiang seemed unhappy.
"You loser, just wait and see," the disciple muttered as he stared at Xiao Shuxiang's departure full of hatred.
Xie Yuwei also ignored the outer disciple, she also didn't want to be rash in fighting fellow outer disciples near the library. If caught by the Elder guarding the place, then there would be serious consequences that she could not avoid.
On the other hand, Xiao Shuxiang felt the aura of hostility directed at him, at the right time he would take everything into account and wouldn't let anyone else humiliate him. Moreover, he also didn't want to always bother Xie Yuwei, therefore he had to continue to increase his strength in order to compete in the Black Dragon Sect.
Several outer disciples who initially witnessed the bickering between Xiao Shuxiang and a disciple from the Third Elder Pavilion, were still crowded around the intersection not far from the library. They were generally curious about Xiao Shuxiang's abilities or if he was just all talk in bullying others.
An Elder noticed Xiao Shuxiang's arrival, as the person in charge of the place, of course he knew about the dispute that had just happened outside the library. But he didn't need to interfere because things like that often happened in the Sect, it would be different if the fight happened inside the library which was under his direct supervision.
"Greetings Elder.." greeted Xiao Shuxiang as he entered the library.
"It seems you are Li Haoran's favorite student," said the Elder who guarded the library.
"That's right, Elder... I want to find a martial arts skill that suits my cultivation," replied Xiao Shuxiang respectfully.
"Hmm.. With your qualifications, you can choose on the first or second floor," replied the Elder casually as he waved his hand.
"Okay Elder, Thank you..." replied Xiao Shuxiang politely, then he headed for the large room.
