Chapter 154 Going Into The Library

William knew the elder was already in his pocket. Even if he lacked strength, by using the right methods, he could turn such a scary spirit master into his lackey!

"I don't want to trouble senior," William still acted as if he was surprised or something.

"I don't have anything else to do anyway, so come," the elder gestured for William to enter the library with him, "this place is too big to visit it all in a single day. I'll take care of things and you can stay here inside as long as you want."

"Thanks senior," William cupped his hands, showing a fake attitude of gratitude. Exchanging tens of spirit crystals for fifty thousand or more? That was indeed quite a cunning move from such an elder.

"But I have classes to attend, so can't stay here for more than two days…"

"Don't worry about that, I'll let you enter anytime you want. Just come here when you have time later, ok?"

"Thanks senior," William took out the core, tossed it towards the elder, acting as if he didn't know the true value of such a precious thing, "can we enter now?"

"Sure, come… I'll take you to the most valuable documents of training technique and manuals."

"Thanks, but…"

"Don't think that it's difficult to get such valuable things. I'm a dark gold spirit master anyway, so only a few items inside can resist my power."

The elder who introduced himself while walking into the library as Lorance, mistook what William wanted to say. William wanted to tell him that he didn't care about training manuals and techniques. He just came here to check the forging documents.

However, what he said at the end piqued the interest of William. "Are there things that even senior can't get access to?" That was indeed surprising.

The ceiling power of the spirit master in this world was the legendary rank. And the reason behind calling it the legendary rank was because the number of people who managed to get access to such rank was considered pretty low.

According to William's knowledge from the past, only rumours spread about those who once managed to set foot into such a realm.

There was no real evidence of the presence of such formidable figures before ever in history. And William got to know the reason behind this.

If anyone managed to set foot into such a realm, then he'd attract the instant hostility from the monsters and dark spirit masters.

The legendary rank known here was the basic rank in the outside world. And that meant whoever managed to get to such a stage would get the ability to break through the barrier of this world to the vaster outside one.

So, the fate of these figures would be either by getting killed in the hands of the enemy or finding a way to escape such entrapment here.

As for passing through the final turn and jumping from the dark gold rank to the legendary rank, this wasn't easy at all!

The dark gold rank was such a huge gulf to surf for any spirit masters. The most powerful known figures in this world throughout the long history till now were always stuck at the quasi-legendary rank for their entire lives.

William knew one reason behind such a weird phenomenon, which lied mainly in the training manuals everyone was using in this world.

These manuals were broken, losing the right path towards the legendary rank and beyond.

If one didn't have a complete road map towards his destination, then he'd get to that place by pure luck, or mostly lose his way towards that direction. Out of tens of billions of attempts, one might get lucky and find the right path.

And the worst thing was that such a lucky dude wouldn't even know the crux of the problem he and everyone else got, or how he got to solve it. So even if he managed to reach such a legendary rank, he'd not be able to help others trapped inside this world with what he did.

Replicating what one did to reach such a stage wasn't going to work. There were too many variables, including the three holy triad of any spirit master.

But William was different. He already knew tons of manuals that came directly from the higher world. The two he randomly gave Berry came from the outside world.

If she trained diligently into them, then she'd end up reaching the legendary rank easily and quite fast as well. And she wouldn't just stop there and would continue climbing higher.

​ William got the power to entirely change anyone's life if he desired. But he also was quite aware that overdoing this would turn things quite ugly for him.

He had to keep getting stronger, and he needed to do this as fast as possible to secure his life.

Once he reached the dark gold grade, he'd be more confident in his strength. At that point, mass teaching others wouldn't be problematic like if he did it right now.

"Sure, this place is quite mysterious," Lorance paused as the two entered inside the library, "no one, even the headmasters of the academy, could get everything in here. There are many items that have been kept sealed for god knows how long."

"Hmm… I can't believe this," William's curiosity grew more. And using his advantage as a kid, he played Lorance quite in his palms.

"Come, I'll show you," Lorance felt a little agitated from the words of William and started to lead the way towards one direction of this vast place.

The two passed through many shelves with lots of documents that got sealed with layers of light.

William could see colours like white, bronze, silver, gold, and dark gold, sealing the documents inside. And these seals weren't just one layer.

They would be one layer at some places, two layers at others. He even once spotted three dark gold layers of seals protecting a single document while following Lorance.
