Wordless Heavenly Book: Reading and Writing Made Him Stronger

"Xiao Mu, where is Seven Basic Methods of Increasing Soul Power?"

"First floor, east section, fourth row, third shelf, seventh book from the left."

"Student Xiao Mu, where is Star Luo Miscellany?"

"Second floor, north section, ninth row, first shelf, first book on the right."

The Spirit City Library was grand and imposing, with the richest collection of books on the Douluo Continent.

Its collection was comprehensive, covering countless subjects.

Even all kinds of out-of-print books could be found here.

At the Management Office by the main entrance, Ye Mu sat with his head lowered over a book, completely immersed in it.

Whenever someone entering the Library asked him a question, he would not even look up, casually telling them where the book was located.

Late at night, when it was time for the Library to close, Ye Mu put down his book and walked out of the Management Office.

After notifying the Spirit Hall soldiers guarding the Library outside, he closed the main doors.

Once he had locked them, he carried a stack of books toward the small room beside the Management Office.

That was where he lived.

After returning to his room and washing up, Ye Mu leaned against his bed and continued reading, rather enjoying his current life.

He had been transported to this world twelve years ago, and he had long since learned what kind of world he was in.

The world of the Douluo Continent!

When he had first arrived, he had only been an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes, living in an orphanage in Spirit City.

When he turned six, he participated in the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony.

Yet he had not awakened the powerful Martial Soul he had imagined—not Blue Silver Grass, nor some heaven-defying Martial Soul like the Clear Sky Hammer.

Instead, it was a book—a White Book!

His Innate Soul Power was only half a level. He had no talent and no background.

It felt as though all the conflicts of the Douluo Continent had nothing to do with him.

In order to survive, with a recommendation from the orphanage and his exceptional memory, he became an administrator at the Spirit City Library.

At first, many people did not trust him, such a young administrator.

But whenever someone casually asked where a book was, he could accurately tell them its location.

As word spread, everyone learned that the Library had gained a young prodigy with an extraordinary memory.

Now, people who came to the Library generally did not search for books themselves. Instead, they asked him.

As the Library's young administrator, he read books whenever he had free time.

In the blink of an eye, six years had passed, and he had been an administrator for six years.

He was thoroughly familiar with everything in the Library.

The next morning, just as he was preparing to head to the Spirit City Junior Soul Master Academy, the Old Librarian came over.

"Xiao Mu, how long have you been here?"

Ye Mu held this kind-looking Old Librarian in great respect.

The man had worked as an administrator for over forty years, and when Ye Mu first came to the Library, he had been the one to guide him.

"Mr. Riven, this boy has been here for six years."

Old Riven took a puff from his dry tobacco pipe and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke.

"Six years already... Don't dwell too much on the matter at the academy."

Ye Mu nodded. He had already accepted the truth.

Yesterday, Director Chang from the academy had spoken with him. If he could not reach Level 15 before graduation, he would be expelled.

Expelled before graduation!

Though it was only Spirit City's junior academy, the competition there was brutal.

For someone with merely half a level of Soul Power to remain at the academy for six years was already astonishing.

Now, the academy required him to prove himself—to prove that he could become a qualified Soul Master and would not tarnish the academy's reputation.

Level 15 Soul Power was a hard requirement of the Junior Soul Master Academy.

"Don't worry too much. Even if you can't graduate from the academy, you can still come back to the Library. At the very least, you'll never have to worry about food or clothing for the rest of your life."

Old Riven spoke earnestly.

The pay for a Library administrator was quite good.

At the very least, it was higher than the allowance low-level Soul Masters received from Spirit Hall.

This job truly could support him for the rest of his life.

It was a permanent post, practically an iron rice bowl.

"I understand. Thank you, Mr. Riven."

"All right. Go to the academy and bring your things back first."

"Okay."

After speaking, Ye Mu headed out of the Library.

He still had some personal belongings in the academy dormitory.

Now that the academy had placed him on leave, he could no longer attend classes there.

So he needed to retrieve his things.

In truth, the academy's attitude was already obvious. They did not believe he could reach Level 15 Soul Power before graduation.

There were only three months left until graduation.

Three months to rise from half a level of Soul Power to Level 15?

There had never been such a precedent in the Soul Master World.

Behind him, Old Riven sighed, shook his head, and headed toward the upper floors of the Library.

After reaching the fifth floor, he opened several books and examined them.

How to Break Through the Shackles of Soul Power, Methods for Breaking Through with Half a Level of Innate Soul Power.

He had read quite a few books like these, but none had yielded any results.

When Ye Mu arrived at the academy, he seemed to sense the strange looks from his classmates.

The news that he was about to be expelled had likely already spread.

On the way to the dormitory, students along the path pointed and whispered.

Some even deliberately kept their distance, afraid that his bad luck might rub off on them.

He had endured far too many such looks over the past six years, and he had long grown used to them.

After collecting his belongings from the dormitory, Ye Mu returned to the Library.

Old Riven had gone somewhere, and Ye Mu did not see any sign of him.

Many Soul Masters came and went, including some academy teachers.

There were teachers not only from the Junior Soul Master Academy, but from several other academies as well.

One advantage of being a Library administrator was that he could get to know many people.

Combined with his exceptional memory, he was quite capable when it came to building connections.

At the very least, he knew many powerful Soul Masters, as well as quite a few academy teachers.

After another busy day, once the Library closed late at night, Ye Mu carried his books back to his room and pondered what path he should take next.

In the future, Spirit Hall would be destroyed, and he would likely lose the job he depended on to survive.

Without work, with only half a level of Soul Power, he could only fade into the masses and become dust.

After thinking for a long time, he picked up his book and continued reading.

Just then, a flash of light appeared from his chest.

Immediately afterward, the White Book appeared before his eyes.

His Martial Soul had emerged on its own?

As he was wondering about it, the White Book suddenly began to change.

Its once-ordinary cover transformed before his eyes.

When the light faded, an entirely new book appeared!

It was a half-unfurled ancient black scroll, its cover heavy as black jade, its edges inlaid with flowing cloud-patterned golden threads.

Not a single word appeared on its pages. Only faint golden patterns flowed with Soul Power. Whenever its pages turned, the golden threads shone brilliantly, while a pale purple Soul Power aura condensed within its dark foundation.

His Martial Soul had mutated?

Ye Mu was overjoyed. His mutated Martial Soul looked rather powerful.

Just then, a dark beam shot out from the ancient scroll and entered his glabella.

It was a flood of information—information about his Martial Soul.

His mutated Martial Soul was called the Wordless Heavenly Book, and its abilities were extremely unusual.

Other Soul Masters needed meditation to increase their Soul Power, but he was different.

He could actually raise his Soul Power Level through reading.

It also had other functions. Through writing, he could improve his physical constitution.

Reading and writing could make him stronger!

And there was an even more special ability: Martial Soul Evolution!
