She looked absentminded and slightly nervous.
...
Terias did not want to bother with yet another woman, he was fully concentrated on efficiently using his time right now. He looked over the bookshelves in front of him.
The bookshelves each had a plaque on them. The first three were named level one, level two, level three respectively.
Terias assumed that the level represented the level of a Ki warrior, with the bookshelves containing their respective information.
Though for the confirmation, he still skimmed through a book he randomly picked out from the level one section.
...
The book detailed on level one warrior and how the transition happens from a normal human to a ki warrior.
'This looks like a basic section made for people who are stepping on the path of becoming a ki warrior.' Terias put the book back to the shelf as he checked on the next book.
The good thing was that the books had titles. Although almost all of them had similar names containing the words like 'basic', 'guide', 'peak'. As he continued to just open the books to take a look at pages and not to actually read it, he reached the top row of the shelf.
The book had a title on its cover 'Peak' which he assumed was a book for possibly breaking through the peak level one warrior to level two.
...
"I should read atleast two of them from each section, the lowest row for the beginners of that level and the top row for the peak level.
Reading two books will be sufficient for my foundation of basic ki energy knowledge.
After reading them from all the three levels, I can decide between the two options, to read from the other bookshelves or gather more knowledge on the three ki levels.

The ability to manipulate the energy dormant inside your body is the first step into becoming of a ki warrior. To increase the rank you need train your body as much as the meditation for ki accumulation."
Progress 75% [Basic Ki Guide]
The moment the ki inside your body starts to recover by itself, you realise that your body has been trained enough to step into the second level of ki warrior. you do not require the constant use of meditation and the basic breathing techniques to recover your exhausted ki.
The energy exhausted during the process of roughly manipulating and boosting your stats begins to recover by itself, the breathing and accumulation of ki gets ingrained in the body. The body feels its completeness with the newly increased ki only, restoring the exhausted energy."
Progress 100% [Basic Ki Guide]
...
The notification with the progress of book reading kept popping, reassuring Terias that the content was successfully being recorded. The prompt of 100% progress signaled his completion of the book.
He had read the book thoroughly this time, as he believed he could understand the content inside the book in one read. He was correct to a great extent as he gained a massive amount of information on the basics.
...
"It seems that the first step is to sense the ki inside your body. Once you sense the ki, you need to learn to use it barely. There is no need to learn a technique with a precise control. As long as you can use the crude level stat boosts by trying enough, you are already a level one warrior. " Terias summarised his learnings from the book he just read.
"Most of the first level warriors rely on their physique and the amount of the ki inside their body to win in combats, once they accumulate enough ki to use a technique, they are already considered level two warriors. As for the exact data, i need to read the next book." He had already understood the basics of level one, now he needed to read the 'peak' level one book next.
He believed that having a physique that already recovers the exhausted ki was a prequisite of a level two warrior, possibly the key to stepping into second level. It was very clear that the total amount of energy gathered in the first level was not enough to practice a technique to a precise level, and was not even worth it.
Instead of mastering the technique to increase combat prowess, the accumulation of the ki would prove more useful to the warrior's life and combat both.
