Chapter 1205: Sect Library! (1)
Hundreds of miles away from the disciple district, Ace appeared, looking at the system interface before him with a faint smile.

[Thief Point
'Hmm, all five of them were able to provide me with low-level thieveries, and my cultivation has increased by at least 1%. As expected of the Chief Disciples of the Forger Faction-they should rank in the middle of the disciple rankings. When I checked Floyd and Avery's thief point values with the thief point meter, they're worth 21 million and 19 million Thief Points!
'Which means all the disciples in the top ten or top hundred are probably worth this much. Now, I want to "meet" them. But I can't be reckless; let's see how the higher-ups react first.
"The only problem is the thief symbol. They might accept their treasures being stolen and brush it off as a disciple quarrel and won't interfere, but the thief symbol is simply too overbearing and mysterious, and they might react strongly.
'However, there's still a chance they won't do anything after finding out it was me, and I already have an explanation ready. Now, the question is how long it will take them to connect it with me. Or there is a massive chance that those arrogant guys won't even report it to the higher-ups because it's simply too embarrassing and humiliating to get their things stolen by a mere Ascension Soldier, despite being Ascension Warriors themselves.
Furthermore, the knowledge that an elder required was different and extremely high-level compared to that of disciples.
Ace then quickly spotted an extremely ancient building that appeared to have been carved directly into the heart of a mountain. Its exterior was composed of crimson obsidian, etched with countless arcane symbols that glowed with an ethereal light, giving a sense of mysticism
and awe.
When Ace reached the golden door of the library, no one was there, and he was wondering if he should just open it with his badge when a heavy voice rang out.
"Oh, a new face?"
Ace was startled, as he hadn't seen anyone or felt any presence, but he quickly bowed respectfully. "Chief Forge Disciple greets, Lord Elder! I'm here to use my new disciple privilege to choose two spells and one cultivation technique from the Sect Library!"
"Then why are you still wasting time? Tsk, kids these days. Show me your disciple badge!" the voice demanded with evident annoyance.
Ace was somewhat speechless, but he couldn't be bothered with these eccentrics anymore and directly took out his disciple badge.
The next moment, Ace felt an invisible force around his disciple badge before it vanished, and the voice rang out again with a hint of surprise. "How intriguing. Alright, you may enter now. Just remember, you are not allowed to step into any places that have a light barrier, or you'll be attacked by the protective formation. The areas without any barriers are open to you. "Furthermore, all the jade scrolls in the library are restricted with a spell, and you can only see their basic-level introduction, so don't try to be smart, kid. Once you select two spells and one cultivation technique, tell me, and I'll release the restriction, and then you can directly learn the knowledge inside the jade scroll.
"But you are not allowed to take the jade scrolls outside or damage them in any way, or you'll be sanctioned according to the sect rules, and let me tell you, you don't want to be sanctioned!" the voice warned sternly.
"I understand!" Ace quickly agreed without hesitation, as he had already read the rules.
"Good!"
The voice sounded in acknowledgment, and the next moment, the library door opened!Nôv(el)B\\jnn
