Library, fourth floor.
The Secret Manuals here are all of four-star level, and are also the essence that the City Lord's Mansion values very much. Each one is very valuable.
Even the wealthy City Lord's Mansion only has about fifty four-star Secret Manuals in total.
Only core members of the City Lord's Mansion are qualified to borrow Secret Manuals here. Ordinary people don't even have the qualification to come up.
Old White took Fan Lang all the way to the fourth floor in order to test Fan Lang's learning ability.
"These are all four-star Secret Manuals. You can choose three to take away. As long as you master one of them within three days, I will believe that you have heaven-defying comprehension." Old White pointed to the surrounding bookshelves.
"Only three? That's too stingy. Can I take a few more?" Fan Lang said greedily.
"Three is not a small number. If you learn all three of these, you can come back to exchange for other Secret Manuals. As long as you have the ability, the City Lord's Mansion will spare no effort to cultivate you. And you, you better know how to write the four words 'repay kindness'."
"Hehe."
Fan Lang chuckled lightly. Just a few books, it's not a great kindness, so there's no need to take it too seriously. After he becomes stronger, helping the City Lord's Mansion casually will be considered a repayment.
"Okay, let me pick and see if there are any Secret Manuals I like."
Fan Lang swaggered around, went through all the Secret Manuals, and after careful consideration, selected three Secret Manuals.
"Heaven and Earth Seal, Spider Web Hand, Water Cloud Palm, I'll choose these three Secret Manuals." Fan Lang decided.
Old White stroked his beard and commented on these three Secret Manuals.
"The Heaven and Earth Seal can transform Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy into a talisman seal, which is quite powerful, but it is extremely difficult to learn. Only those who are extremely sensitive to Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy can master it."
"The Spider Web Hand can turn Mystic Force into threads to entangle the enemy and restrain their movements. To master this Combat Skills, you must have superb Mystic Force control ability, be able to shape Mystic Force as thin as spider silk, and ensure toughness. It's really difficult."
"Water Cloud Palm is a water-attribute Combat Skills, and you used fire-attribute Combat Skills in the Entry Examination before. These two attributes are mutually exclusive. You are already used to transforming fire-attribute. If you go to learn water-attribute Combat Skills, it will greatly increase the difficulty. In fact, this one is not very suitable for you."
Old White deals with Secret Manuals all day long, and knows these Secret Manuals like the back of his hand, speaking eloquently.
"Are you done?" Fan Lang asked.
"I'm done." Old White was stunned.
"Then I'm leaving, bye." Fan Lang put away the three Secret Manuals and left directly, too lazy to discuss these Secret Manuals with Old White.
Whoosh.
A gust of cold wind blew.
Old White was left alone, feeling very blocked in his heart. This Fan Lang doesn't take him seriously at all, does he? He kindly commented on these Secret Manuals, but Fan Lang didn't even respond!
Little did Old White know that these Secret Manuals were all for initial use in Fan Lang's eyes, and there was no value in discussing them at all, so he was too lazy to waste his breath.
What's more, Old White's experience is useless to Fan Lang at all. Fan Lang's learning method is completely different from normal people.
No matter how difficult the Secret Manuals are to learn, they are like stripped little girls in Fan Lang's eyes, with no secrets to speak of.
"Learn all three, learn the most powerful Heaven and Earth Seal first!"
Fan Lang had just walked out of the Library when he issued an order to the system.
The learning time for four-star Secret Manuals is very long. It takes 20 hours to learn this Heaven and Earth Seal. Even if cheating is used to reduce the time by half, it will take 10 hours.
In other words, Fan Lang can learn a maximum of two four-star skills per day.
Although this is a bit slower than learning low-level Secret Manuals before, it is still considered extremely fast.
He can leave the learning to the system functions; Fan Lang doesn't need to worry about it at all. He has a new upgrade plan today, which requires him to go outside the City Lord's Mansion.
Walking to the main entrance of the City Lord's Mansion, Fan Lang saw two familiar figures.
It was the two gatekeepers who had mocked him!
These two had said many nasty things to Fan Lang, mocking him for confessing his feelings to Luo Hongyan. In fact, it had nothing to do with them; they were just being nosy.
Fan Lang narrowed his eyes, a coldness surfacing within them.
The two gatekeepers saw Fan Lang, and their expressions changed. They had heard about Fan Lang's display of divine power during the Entry Examination yesterday.
The current Fan Lang is not what he used to be, enough to make the two gatekeepers feel fear.
Not avenging grudges is not Fan Lang's style. With a sullen face, he walked step by step towards the two gatekeepers, scaring them into retreating.
"Fan Lang, I heard you became a guest of the City Lord's Mansion, congratulations."
"Hehe, we brothers said some nasty things before, but those were just jokes, don't take it to heart. When you have time, we'll treat you to drinks as an apology."
The two gatekeepers put on a different face, forcing smiles at Fan Lang. The more they acted like this, the more guilty they seemed.
Fan Lang didn't say anything, but instead swung his palms, fiercely giving each of the two gatekeepers a slap in the face!
Pa!
Pa!
The sound was crisp and loud, knocking the two gatekeepers to the ground, spitting blood from their mouths.
These two gatekeepers had mocked Fan Lang before, making Fan Lang feel insulted.
Since it was an insult, then he would use another insult to get revenge! This is called using their own methods against them!
Fan Lang's face was as dark as water as he looked down at the two gatekeepers. If they were not convinced, then he would continue to hit them.
The two gatekeepers, having been slapped in the face, glared at Fan Lang, wanting to open their mouths to curse, but they didn't dare to utter a word. Fan Lang's eyes made them feel afraid. They even had a feeling that if they dared to be presumptuous, they might be killed by Fan Lang!
The status of a guest in the City Lord's Mansion is above that of a gatekeeper. Even if Fan Lang killed them, the City Lord's Mansion would not investigate deeply.
The two gatekeepers could only swallow their anger.
"Do you think you deserved to be hit?" Fan Lang asked indifferently.
"Deserved it."
"Deserved it."
The two gatekeepers said in a low voice. Admitting this made them feel endless humiliation, which was more hurtful than the burning pain on their faces.
"That's more like it." Fan Lang snorted coldly, let go of the two gatekeepers, and strode away.
The two gatekeepers looked at each other, their faces as bitter as gourds.
"This is really a ghost, how did this kid suddenly become so powerful, and even become a guest."
"Shh, don't let him hear you. We can't afford to offend him, so we can avoid him. Don't provoke him in the future."
The two gatekeepers each rubbed their swollen faces.
Fan Lang had avenged his humiliation, and was in a great mood as he made his way to the leveling location he had chosen for today. For the past two days, he had been leveling up in the wild, but today he switched to the city.
In front of him was a gloomy building that looked like a large prison, surrounded by a circle of iron bars. The plaque above the door was inscribed with four large characters—Underground Arena!
As the name suggests, this was an underground arena, and the building above was just an entrance. The core area was below.
There were many gladiators in the Underground Arena, so there was never a shortage of opponents here!
"Underground Arena, here I come!"
Fan Lang's eyes lit up as he strode forward.
