The young man appeared to be unreadable and had the aura of a Senior that was as deep as a well in plain sight.
Nevertheless, Elder Chen Mu never investigated further on the secrets of this young man. Everybody has their own fortuitous encounters in life after all.
"What is your name, young one?" Elder Chen Mu only asked instead.
"I am called Chen Yan." Our bored gamer replied simply.
"Very well. You have 30 minutes to choose a Martial Scripture inside." Elder Chen Mu said in the end.

"Find me the strongest cultivation manual available, Nancy. One that is best suited to practice using this kind of physique that i have now."
Clark said his requirement on the get go so as to save his time in here. Truth be told, he was really starving already.
"Affirmative, host. Please step down the halls and turn left. Next, go to..." Nancy did as she was instructed and our bored gamer also followed her directions to absolute perfection.
It did not take him long to get his hands on an olden booklet that was already covered with thick dust and the decay of time.
Surprisingly enough, the booklet looked as good as new with a gentle swipe of a hand.
Only the cover was torn on the edges but other than that, its contents, letters and ink was still very much legible enough to read and follow.
It could be seen from the fact that the material used to inscribe this item was indeed one that withstood the test of time already.
"With a cultivation manual, I could gain strength as long as I cultivate in my free time. I don't need any more martial techniques since i could just as easily master them without even dropping a sweat."
"DAMN! With this kind of cheat, I could see myself on a speed run to complete the remaining 49 power systems in the list!" Clark grinned and walked out of the Martial Scriptures Pavilion.
Although Nancy could answer the basic questions such as names of people and places and even knew the cultivation realms in this alien xianxia world, it seemed that her powers and capabilities were already limited by the clay brick at this time.
Nancy could not even give our bored gamer a Mythical Cultivation Manual as a freebie.
Using existing cultivation manuals and techniques from other dimensions were also ineffective in this world. As such, Clark has to basically start from scratch.
Fortunately, our good gamer was not at all discouraged with his progress.
"Can you copy all the cultivation manuals and techniques in here, Nancy?" Clark queried when he was halfway back towards the exit.
"Negative, host. The system is disallowed to give any more advantage to you." Nancy replied in a sad voice.
"I understand, Nancy." Clark nodded and went on his way.
Even though he could practically learn by flipping through the pages and let his true body who was a dimension away from here learn and memorize them all but that would be too convoluted a plot to follow.
With two Martial Techniques on the Legendary Rank already, he believed that he could even cut a Spirit Realm Cultivator.
"You have 1 week to learn that cultivation manual. Afterwards, you need to return it here and in one piece. Should a page be missing, you should also be aware that death is the least of your worries at that time. Do you understand me, young man?"
Elder Chen Mu asked Clark when he got out from the Martial Scriptures Pavilion.
"I hear you loud and clear, Elder Chen Mu. I won't even take 2 days to learn this complete set of cultivation manuals. I shall return this to you tomorrow morning."
Our bored gamer promised and walked off his chubby feet to whence he came.
"Be careful not to swallow more than you can chew, Chen Yan." Clark heard the sagely advice from an older generation and his only response was a careless shrug.
Our avid gamer remained confident in himself. He believed that the odds are absolutely not stacked against him!

"Young Master Chen Yan! Young Master Chen Yan!" An agile Ye Xia flew into the scene. She was unbelievably fast! It did not need saying that Ye Xia was indeed a trained cultivator of the clan.
"What's the rush, girl? Did somebody come to ask your hand for marriage or something?" Clark teased his good servant.
Ye Xia was not beautiful in any aspect of the word but she was a hundred percent gorgeous in her tight fitting robes.
Although it was merely ordinary garb but it did little to hide the sweet curves that lay beneath Ye Xia's ripe young body.
Alas, our bored gamer was already used to tasting the natural gifts of goddesses and fairies that he was not about to lower his standards at all.
Ye Xia was sexy but she would only remain a faithful servant in the eyes of our good gamer.
She was barely even a woman at the age of 18 no matter how her body was more than screaming for someone to pluck it at anytime and any day soon.
"Not for me. Somebody has come for you, Young Master. It's the Yang Clan. Your fiancee is here!" Ye Xia reported in apprehension.
With her master Chen Dong away from the clan, no one would dare support Chen Yan at this time.
"Let's hide, Young Master Chen Yan. We don't need to face them today. Let's wait for when your father comes home from the city of Oceanwall."
Ye Xia suggested and she has only the best intentions in mind. She did not want at all to let her young master face abject disgrace in the hands of the Yang Clan.
"Me? Hide? Hehehe." Our bored gamer laughed briefly as if he heard the funniest joke of all time.
"I have, on my own volition, faced a million different deaths and torment. No man, woman, or monster could make me cower and tuck my tails in submission. I fear that not even the devil himself could accomplish that feat."
