The next morning,
Jiang Hao got up. Xiaoxiao attended to his washing and dressing, a shy flush on her pretty face. After breakfast, he went to another room and took two chests out of his spatial storage. When he opened them, they were filled with manuals, each recording the formulas and cultivation methods of various sects' Martial Arts.
He casually picked up one and began reading.
"Ding~~ Nine Dragon Whip Technique detected. Collecting: 51%~~52%~~."
It took Jiang Hao more than ten minutes to finish the whip technique manual, and the system spoke again.
"Ding~~ Nine Dragon Whip Technique: 100%. Collection complete." "Ding~~ Congratulations, Collector. You have collected the third-rate Martial Art, 'Nine Dragon Whip Technique.' Please keep up the good work."
The following days passed amid Jiang Hao's constant reading of Martial Arts manuals and the endless chiming in his mind.
"Ding~~ Mad Demon Staff Technique detected. Collecting: 51%~~52%~~." "Ding~~ Six Harmonies Saber Technique detected." "Ding~~ Mysterious Gate Three Talents Sword Technique detected..." "Ding~~ Five Elements Six Harmonies Palm Technique detected..."
It took Jiang Hao two days to finish reading all the manuals. There had been seventy-five people in total, but many had belonged to the same sect and practiced the same techniques. In the end, he collected fifty-two techniques, bringing his collection mission to 58/100.
The mission was more than halfway complete. This haul had been excellent, and Jiang Hao was delighted.
Sitting in the courtyard, he considered where to go next to continue collecting Martial Arts. Finding people one by one was too slow, and they were not always easy to come across. The best option would be somewhere with a large number of Martial Arts manuals.
The imperial palace would probably be best,
