“Friend Xu, as a martial artist scholar of our Seven-star Study Palace, you are entitled to access the scholars’ library and browse through the collection of books. You might gain some insights,” said Pang Yu.
“I appreciate it immensely,” Xu Yan’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he gratefully responded with a fist and palm salute.
Being a Martial Arts Scholar was the core of the Seven-star Study Palace. The books treasured in the scholars’ library would certainly cover a more broad knowledge and reveal more secret martial techniques.
“Can my junior brother also enter?” Xu Yan asked.
Pang Yu glanced at Meng Chong. This brash young man was somewhat weaker than Xu Yan, but aside from Xu Yan, there was no other candidate that could match him.
“The rules of the Seven-star Study Palace can’t be violated. If Little Friend Meng wants to enter, he just needs to hold the title of a Martial Arts Scholar,” Pang Yu answered gravely.
“No problem!” Meng Chong agreed without hesitation.
Then he looked straight at Pang Yu: “How many Spirit Crystals can one earn with the title of Martial Arts Scholar in a year? My demand isn’t too high, it can be a bit less than my senior brother.”
The corners of Bai Yun Kong and Pang Yu’s mouths twitched; they truly were disciples of the same master!
“No problem!” Pang Yu assented willingly.
If Xu Yan and Meng Chong held titles in the Seven-star Study Palace, the Palace would be the one benefiting and gaining prestige from them.
Paying them a small amount of Spirit Crystals every year was only fair.
If someday these two made a great show of their talents in the Ling Domain, the reputation of the Seven-star Study Palace would become even more resplendent.
At worst, when inviting more disciples to join in the future, they could earn the Spirit Crystals back from the wealthy families of the students!
Under Pang Yu’s guidance, Xu Yan and Meng Chong stepped into the core area of Seven-star Study Palace, the Scholars’ Library.
In the library, a group of Martial Arts Scholars was busy reading and writing, studying martial arts, with dark circles under their eyes. A few of them were even attempting to cultivate the martial techniques they had just figured out.
Xu Yan and Meng Chong twitched their mouths at this scene. They were surrounded by a group of martial arts fanatics.
They wondered where the Seven-Star Study Palace found so many martial arts obsessives.
When the group of Martial Arts Scholars saw Xu Yan, they immediately crowded all around him.
“Teacher Xu, long time no see. 1 have a question about the martial arts of Dahua…”
“Teacher Xu, you look even more handsome. I’ve just figured out a new martial technique based on the Dahua martial arts. What do you think of it?”
“Oh, Teacher Xu, 1 see you in my dreams every night…”
Xu Yan gawked at the group of Martial Arts Scholars, all of them with dark circles under their eyes, each trying to get a word in.
Especially that female Martial Arts Scholar who claimed to dream about him every night. Her beauty was definitely above average, yet the faint dark circles under her eyes and her messy hair detracted from her image.
“Silence!” Old Pang roared firmly.
“Old Pang, why so fierce? You’re just a coward. You’re too scared to even try the new martial technique 1 created recently!”
“Indeed, a chicken without any spirit of martial arts exploration!”
“If it wasn’t for your strong capabilities, I would seriously consider kicking you out.”
To his dismay, when Pang Yu spoke, several white-haired Martial Arts Scholars jeered at him in a cacophony of voices.
The Martial Arts Scholar who called Pang Yu a coward seemed to be recovering from a recently sustained injury, with one of his legs slightly twisted and a withered arm being treated with Healing Medicine.
Pang Yu’s face darkened, his aura surging forth as though ready to suppress the entire scene.
“Let’s leave, seeing old Pang puts me in a bad mood.”
“Let’s disperse, disperse…”
The group of Martial Arts Scholars shouted, scattering in all directions, each going about their own businesses..
