Dark Phoenix Prince - Chapter 137

Gareth and two others then took Alu to a certain place on the mountain.

There was an area where many fire temple disciples were gathered.

The area wasn’t too big but it was enough to accommodate the fire temple disciples who weren’t that many. The area looked like a small town where many shops lined the side of the road.

Several disciples gathered in each shop and they seemed to be talking about something.

What was interesting about the place were the two tall buildings that stood right in the middle.

The two buildings emitted an aura that enveloped the entire area around them.

When Alu arrived at the place, he immediately caught the attention of everyone in the place. Their gazes were immediately directed at him. Some of the people who happened to be inside the building even immediately came out when they heard of his arrival.

Of course, not everyone had come to watch his previous battles. However, her astonishing power was already known to everyone even though only a moment had passed.

People were filled with curiosity about the figure of this young man who had suddenly appeared.

Some of the women even walked closer to Alu.

They greeted Alu enthusiastically.

“It turns out that the rumors are true, little brother Alu is really very handsome.”

“Even though he is young, I believe he is the most handsome man I have ever seen.”

“His temperament is also very graceful. Even the princes of the empire are not as elegant as him.”

“Little brother Alu, look at me. If you will, this sister is willing to be your little concubine.”

“… *

Alu felt like he wanted to throw up when he heard their words.

But for the sake of his disguise, he just continued to act innocently and greeted them kindly.

Angela who knows Alu’s true personality can guess Alu’s discomfort. Before Alu gave her a warning, she had already taken action to help Alu.

“Move aside all of you. Do not block the path of the holy son.” She then shouted at the women who started blocking Alu’s path.

Luckily she had some reputation in the sect. And her family background is not small either. Therefore, even though most of the women who blocked Alu’s path had higher cultivation than her, they still followed her words in the end.

Of course, they looked displeased as they stared at Angela. But Angela ignored them.

She started talking to Alu after that.

“Little brother, the building on the right is the library, and the building on the left is the armory. Where do you want to go first?” She asked.

Alu thought for a moment before answering. “Let’s go to the library first.”

“Mm.”

After that, Angela, Gareth, and Flint led Alu to the library.

The people who saw their direction immediately followed behind.

There was a lot of good things in the library, and of course, there would always be a good show when the geniuses entered it.

It didn’t take long before Alu and the others arrived in front of the library.

There is only one entrance to the library, and in front of that door, there is an old woman who appears to be sleeping.

Alu’s arrival was followed by too many people, and it caused the sleeping old woman to open her eyes.

The woman’s gaze fell directly on Alu right after she opened her eyes. Her eyes looked cold and indifferent.

As Alu felt the old woman’s gaze, he couldn’t help but shiver.

“Greetings, eldar!” He immediately bowed to salute the old woman.

Even if no one told him, he knew that the old woman’s strength was above the Nirvana stage.

The old woman might still be much weaker than Old Egan, but her strength was still enough to crush him with the snap of a finger.

As the old woman looked at Alu, Angela who was standing beside Alu stepped forward.

“Ancestor, this is Alu. He is a new holy son.” She suddenly spoke to the old woman.

The way Angela addressed the old woman was different from sect rules.

Normally temple masters would be called Masters, and elders would be called Elders.

As Alu took a closer look at the old woman, he found a slight resemblance to Angela. It’s just that, that woman is too old and her expression also looks indifferent.

The old woman didn’t pay attention to Angela who was talking to her. She continued to stare at Alu with cold eyes.

She then spoke. “Come in if you want to come in. There’s no need for so much ado with that hypocritical face.”

Not only were the words extremely sharp, but her tone sounded very cynical as well.

Alu wondered when he offended the old woman.

But he, of course, won’t ask. He just continued to show an innocent expression.

Angela who saw Alu’s expression suddenly stretched out her hand to Alu’s. She then pulled Alu into the library building.

She didn’t say anything but she spoke via voice transmission.

“That old woman is the ancestor of my clan. I don’t know what happened, but she has always hated men with handsome faces.”

“… *

Alu did not think much of Angela’s words because the moment he passed through the entrance to the library, he was immediately startled by the sight inside the library.

The library building could be said to be quite high, but inside the building, there was only one floor which was very wide.

The space inside the library is actually thousands of times larger than it looks from the outside.

In addition, Alu found that the pressure that was always pressing on him disappeared within the library. Now his soul sense could cover an area of ​​tens of thousands of kilometers so he could easily cover the entire area within the library.

The Phoenix Kingdom also had its own library, but it clearly couldn’t compare to the library that belonged to this fire temple.

Alu did not find any books or cabinets in the library. Instead, what he saw was actually virtual screens neatly lined up in various places.

And in each of these virtual screens, there is a scene of a human being showing a technique.

There are all kinds of scenes. There was a scene of a human figure flying with wings of fire. There is a scene of a human figure creating thousands of fireballs. There was a scene of a human figure dropping thousands of fire spears.

“To get a technique in this library, you have to enter into the virtual screen. Apart from storing techniques, the place in the virtual screen is also the best place to practice techniques.”

“Practicing in there a hundred times faster than outside.”

“Usually other disciples have to pay with contribution points to enter the virtual screen, but you can enter any virtual screen with your status as a holy son.” Angela explained.

Under each virtual screen, Alu did see a row of numbers that might be the price the other disciples had to pay.

No wonder the status of a holy son is so contested. It turns out that there is such a favorable rule for holy sons.

“Mm, but since your status isn’t completely official yet, I advise you not to overreact. Otherwise, some people might be displeased.” Angela suddenly whispered to warn him.

“By the way, take me to the place where the best techniques are.” He replied via voice transmission while his face still continued to show an innocent expression.

“Mm.” Angela then takes Alu to a certain location where there are ten virtual screens that are much bigger than virtual screens elsewhere.

In fact, even after he entered the library, the other disciples still continued to follow him.

As he arrived in front of those ten larger virtual screens, the disciples following behind began to speak once again.

“These are the ten strongest techniques of our fire temple.”

“That kid’s talent is extraordinary. He naturally wouldn’t be attracted to ordinary techniques.”

“I heard that a few months ago Darien had broken the records of the previous disciples. It is said that he comprehend one of the techniques in half a day. I wonder if this new holy son can do it too.”

“….”

Angela also whispered to Alu. “As they say, there is also competition in this place. Disciples here usually measure their speed at comprehending a technique to test their talents.”

“These ten strongest techniques are the most difficult techniques to master in our temple of fire. Even though they were lacking in comparison to the other temple heritage techniques, they were actually still incredibly powerful. At least in this continent there is no fire technique that is greater than these ten techniques.”

“Even our fire temple masters and elders rely on these techniques to become the top ranks of experts in the Rising Sun Domain.”

“That Darien, he actually broke the records of the previous students. It caused that bastard to become arrogant and didn’t put us in his eyes.”

“Little brother, you have to beat that bastard. You have to slap him in the face.” She spoke quite loudly when she said that.”
