The Universal Genius - Chapter 46

As the sun rises on the horizon, and the sleeping city began to wake up.

In the City lord’s Manor, in one of it’s bedroom.

A cuddling young couple began to wake up.

The boy and girl, began rubbing their eyes open. Looking at each other face to face, and remembering the events that transpire yesterday night, the duo smiled brightly to each other, greeting “Good Morning~”

Ye Shie began parting with Xiao Rou. Standing up he began to walk towards the door. Looking back, he noticed Xiao Rou meditating.

“Rou? Not coming to eat with me?” Ye Shie asked.

Xiao Rou opened her eyes then she said smugly “Hehe~ I can’t, I’m about to breakthrough~”

Hearing those words, Ye Shie eyes went wide for a moment, then he sighed in helplessness thinking ‘This stupid purple crystal! Tsk!’ then he inquired “Do you need any help?”.

Xiao Rou moved her fingers away in shooing motion, and continued her meditation.

After breakfast, Ye Shie returned at the Formation Guild.

Arriving at the library, he opened the book he read yesterday. Due to the disturbance that occurred, almost all of those infamous young masters began a closed door cultivation period.

Feeling the enormous pressure Ye Shie gave off yesterday, and the results afterwards causes them to be so embarrassed to even go out.

Ye Shie continued reading,

—

The Formations Guild was divided into The Library, The Formation Room, and The Shop.

The Library as per the name stated is a huge library, divided by 5 floors. With each floor accessible by the corresponding Rank of the Formation Masters. Except for the First Floor where everyone can have access to it.

The Formation Room, is a huge collection of Rooms, designed by the Formation Masters to the Formation Masters themselves. Working with formations, is an arduous process, that requires huge amount of focus and concentration. These rooms are made for that same purpose. Each room is filled with Barrier Type Formations, Energy Gather Formations, and Cleansing Type Formations.

Of course, there are different ranks of rooms depending on the Formation Masters Rank.

Last, is the Shop.

The Shop is where everyone, can buy or sell formations, ingredients, tools, blueprints, and many more Formation related items.

As Ye Shie finished the book in his hand, his eyes brightened with excitement.

Looking around he stood up and went towards a specific bookshelf with a tag “Basics of Runes”. This specific bookshelf is somewhat dusty and old, and was seemingly ignored by the Formation Apprentices therein.

Each book was individually thick, and was piled up in volumes ranging from 1 to 20 occupying the whole bookshelf itself, the name of the book was “The Basic Runes”. Ye Shie picked the first volume and began reading.

—

Ye Shie immersed himself in reading the content of the Book, not noticing that in the center of his forehead, a purple glowing light shone weakly.

The Basic Runes, talks about how to form a rune character, how to sustain it, how to control it, how to compress it, how to enlarge it, its effects, its qi consumption, and its many different types, spanning from elements, to space, and gravity.

—

After 1 hour of reading, Ye Shie finally finished reading the volume 1 of The Basic Runes.

Closing his eyes, recalling the information within. The Purple Glow in the center of his forehead shining. Ye Shie began filtering those information inside his mind, not wondering how easy it was for him to remember each and every detail along with their fundamental principles and purposes.

After contemplating for a 10 minutes, Ye Shie opened his eyes, stood up and returned the volume 1. Then he picked up the volume 2, and began repeating the same process all over again.

–

This time, he finished reading such thick book on 30 minutes. Not noticing the glowing purple color in the center of his forehead. He closed his eyes again, filtering the information. After 5 minutes, he stood up and picked the 3rd volume.

–

For the 3rd volume he finished it up in 15 minutes. Filtering the information for 2 minutes.

Then the 4th he finished it in 5 minutes, flipping the pages so fast, it’s look like he’s just playing. He finished filtering the information for 30 seconds.

The 5th was finished for 1 minute, and was filtered at the same time as he read.

—

When he reached the 10th book, he only needed to touch it, to know of it’s components and principles.

–

After touching the 15th book, Ye Shie’s eyes became bloodshot in red.

The purple glow in his forehead continued to brighten.

–

After the final book, he was panting roughly, his face haggard and his mind in pain.

This time, the purple glow in his forehead diminished, but deep within his spiritual mind, the hovering Purple Crystal began shining profusely, as if filtering something inside of it. Afterwards it began releasing an invisible wave throughout his brain.

With the vast information he received his mind was strained to it’s limits hence, Ye Shie took a seat, and began meditating, calming his mind and body for a bit.

With the Majestic Golden Universal Qi nourishing his mind, Ye Shie began to feel a cooling sensation throughout his senses. The fatigue and pain was gone, and was replace by a cool, calming and comfortable feeling.

After meditating for an hour, Ye Shie coughing out a blackish air of some sort, remembering the contents in every detail and the seemingly strange familiar feeling of being able to perform all of it, Ye Shie frowned in confusion ‘Hmm…this is really weird, I should test it all out!’ When he thought of this he began smiling. Excitement filling his heart. Then he stood up heading towards the door of the library with fast and hurried steps.

When he arrived at the Lobby, he looked around and noticing the counter in the distance that says Formation Room, he walked towards there.

–

He went to the counter and said “Sir? can I rent one of the rooms inside?”

A fatty middle age receptionist, looked at the 10 year old. Then he frowned saying “Pay up, A thousand gold coins per day”

‘A thousand?!’ Ye Shie mumbled in shock, then he looked at the Receptionist with his sad puppy looks hoping for his sympathy.

But alas, the receptionist replied “Nope! It’s either you pay up, or you go home. Don’t waste my time, Shoo!”

Then Ye Shie picked up something in his pocket handing it out to the receptionist. The receptionist upon seeing the Xiao Character of Ye Shie’s Noble Badge, trembled.

Then he looked at Ye Shie with fawning and apologetic eyes and said “I’m sorry, Young Master Shie, please forgive this dumb servant of yours. Unfortunately sir, The Formation Rooms really requires a specific amount of Gold Coins to be rent, I apologize” he bowed at Ye Shie, handing the Noble’s Badge carefully.

Ye Shie gave up and sighed, he went outside and heading towards the City Lord’s Courtyard. Hoping Xiao Rou was still breaking through so as to not disturb him.
