Banned from the Library!

Adam pinched the bridge of his nose and nodded reluctantly.

But in truth? He didn't want to give a single inch to uncertainties. His dan tian was extraordinary—the seed of a world. Developing it using anything but the best technique sounded unacceptable. However, he could saturate it with Qi without breaking through.

He tapped his finger on his creased brow, thinking of what he could do to justify the delay. Didn't Julius learn powerful techniques in the Qingming sutra? Maybe he could do the same and show them to Shen.

Convinced, he smiled at Shen.

"I'll start tonight. I'll borrow battle techniques tomorrow to complement the cultivation."

Shen sighed in relief.

"Excellent, Adam. You'll learn to manipulate your Qi better with the techniques. I can show you some suited to your level and elemental affinity if you want."

"I prefer discovering them myself." Adam shook his head and rose to his feet. "I appreciate the offer, though."
