Chapter 99 The Library of Spirit City, Yu Xiaogang's Little Schemes
In the center of Spirit City stood a magnificent three-story building occupying a vast area.
That was the library of Spirit City.
The first floor contained the richest collection of books, covering the widest range of topics.
This floor was open to all Soul Masters in Spirit City, making it an academic hall accessible to the general public.
The second floor housed even more precious and rare books, accessible only to Soul Masters belonging to Spirit Hall.
As for the third floor, anyone who wished to set foot there had to possess a high-level identity token.
Moreover, at the entrance to the third floor, powerful experts at the Contra level were stationed. Ordinary people could not even get close to the stairwell.
Although Contra was not considered a top-tier powerhouse, the library was located in the core area of Spirit City.
Therefore, no one dared to cause trouble here.
Just then, a young man in black walked out from a street not far away.
The person who arrived was none other than Yu Xiaogang.
After entering the city, he had first found a place to stay and settled down. Then he ate something simple, washed up and tidied himself, and headed straight for the Spirit City Library.
Yu Xiaogang looked up at the library before him, his gaze climbing from the bottom floor to the top floor, and his heart began to beat faster.
He took a deep breath and strode toward the entrance.
Before long, he arrived at the door.
Two rows of fully armed knights stood solemnly at the entrance.
Yu Xiaogang calmly took out his Soul Master certificate and handed it to the guard for verification.
After the guards finished their inspection, he was allowed to enter the library without any problems.
As he stepped into the lobby, Yu Xiaogang looked around, and a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.
Rows of tall bookshelves were neatly arranged, filled with all kinds of books.
He took another deep breath and quickly strode toward a row of shelves.
Looking at the densely packed books before him, Yu Xiaogang grew more and more excited.
As one of the three upper sects, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan already possessed a fairly comprehensive collection of books. But compared to the library of Spirit City, it was still far inferior.
Here, one could find almost any information that was not too confidential.
Yu Xiaogang wandered among the shelves for a long time, selected several books he had never read before, found a quiet corner in the reading area, sat down, and eagerly began to read.
He also took out his notebook and occasionally copied down key points.
And so it went, day after day.
Aside from eating and sleeping, he spent every day in the library.
Time flew like an arrow; three months passed in the blink of an eye.
During this long period, Yu Xiaogang read through all the books he had never touched before.
However, he still could not find a way to improve his martial spirit.
But he did not become discouraged because of this.
Because long before he even stepped into the library, he had already stopped having high hopes for his martial spirit.
Moreover, this period of time was not entirely fruitless.
He combined the content he copied from the library with the theoretical drafts he had written in his early years at home and finally formed his own theoretical framework.
"We need to find a way to get to the second floor, or even the third floor. But how do I get in...?"
That day, Yu Xiaogang was walking toward the library with his brows furrowed, deep in thought.
Although he had given up hope of improving his martial spirit, he still did not want to give up completely.
Perhaps the key to evolving a martial spirit lay hidden in those more precious books upstairs?
More importantly, the books upstairs were especially important for his theoretical research, because they contained many secrets that could never be seen on the first floor.
But given his status, getting up there would be no easy feat.
Just then, two women walked over from a distance.
They walked hand in hand, chatting and laughing.
They were Bibi Dong and Ye Qingshuang.
Since Su Mo was cultivating and the two of them had nothing to do, they had gone out shopping together.
As for Ah Yin, she had not yet reached maturity and it was inconvenient for her to appear openly in Spirit City, so she did not come along.
Suddenly, a patrol squad approached the two women and stopped to salute.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
Their movements were synchronized, and their voices were strong and clear.
"No need for formalities," Bibi Dong replied softly, as if already accustomed to such scenes.
Immediately, she pulled Ye Qingshuang along, and they continued walking forward, chatting and laughing, without stopping because of the small incident.
As Yu Xiaogang gazed at the two figures in the distance, his mind began to race.
He had not expected that one of them would be the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall.
As the Holy Maiden, she held an extraordinary position and enjoyed numerous privileges. She must be qualified to enter the third floor of the library.
If he could get acquainted with Her Highness the Holy Maiden, could he use her identity to access those precious books upstairs?
At that thought, Yu Xiaogang's heart beat faster.
Although his talent for cultivation was mediocre and his strength weak, he was intelligent.
As the Holy Maiden, she must have already seen countless prodigies.
If he could demonstrate exceptional insight and present something different, perhaps he might attract her attention.
Moreover, Bibi Dong appeared to be around his age. Women of that age, he believed, should be easier to impress.
After collecting his thoughts, Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and walked directly toward them.
Soon, he arrived in front of the two women, calmly stopped, and curved his lips into what he believed was a proper smile.
"Your Highness, hello. My name is Yu Xiaogang," he said, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.
Bibi Dong and Ye Qingshuang both halted.
Bibi Dong glanced at Yu Xiaogang, her brows slightly furrowed.
"Yu Xiaogang... Why does that name sound familiar?" she murmured.
"Sister, it seems the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan's patriarch is named Yu Xiaogang," Ye Qingshuang reminded her.
"That's right. It is I." Yu Xiaogang nodded faintly.
"Oh," Bibi Dong replied casually. "So, what do you want? If there's nothing important, please move aside and don't disturb our shopping."
She had naturally heard of Yu Xiaogang—the so-called good-for-nothing.
Yu Xiaogang panicked slightly and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, please wait! I mean no offense!"
Bibi Dong frowned, her tone tinged with impatience. "Then what exactly do you want?"
Yu Xiaogang immediately adopted an expression of unwillingness and dejection.
It was as if a person full of talent, yet unrecognized, had finally found someone to confide in.
He took a deep breath and slowly said, "Your Highness, since you know me, you must have heard of my experiences."
"Although my talent for cultivation is indeed lacking, I have never given up on myself because of it."
"As the saying goes, there are no useless martial spirits—only useless Soul Masters!"
As he spoke, his voice unconsciously rose several degrees.
