Chapter 29
“There are so many martial art skills!” Geena was stupefied.
As he remembered, only three sets of martial art skills were passed down by Salleria’s royal family.
However, if each wooden grid had one set of martial art skills, there would be about a hundred here.
That number was shocking.
“Of course not!” Fabian laughed, “there are thirty-seven types of martial arts skills kept in the Lawrence family.
The rest of them are just library collections.
Nonetheless, they are also collected by the Lawrences.”
‘Thirty-seven is a lot.’ Geena thought.
As he had ample time, Geena was not in a hurry to choose, and he had just finished wandering this floor.
Just as Fabian said, there were only 37 martial arts skills placed in the wooden grids, and each grid stored one type.
There were even explanatory notes at the side on what type of martial arts skill it was, its origin, and so on.
The rest of the wooden grids were filled with collections of books.
Since each grid could not have one book only, dozens of books were kept in a grid.
When Fabian noticed that Geena appeared calm, he asked curiously, “Have you decided on what type of martial art skill you’ re going for?”
“I’d like to see what type of weapons there are first, then I’ll choose the skill,” Geena explained his plan.
He was not wandering since the beginning, but he already made plans and goals in his heart.
“Let’s go to the second floor to look at the weapons.” Fabian led Geena upstairs.
The second floor of the martial art chamber had a similar setup to the floor below.
However, it was not as peaceful as the first floor as some Lawrence family members here.
Fabian instantly whispered and explained that these people were responsible for safeguarding the weapons, and Geena should not be bothered by them.
Geena nodded and walked forward.
He already knew that the first to third-grade weapons were low-ranking, the fourth to sixth-grade weapons were middle-ranking, and seventh to ninth-grade weapons were high-ranking.
James let him choose a low-ranking weapon, so he could only pick one from first to third grade.
There were many sharp weapons to choose from, but Geena already targeted picking a third-grade spear.
The spear was named Silver Scales.
Just like its name, the spear’s surface appeared as if it was coated with silver.
At the same time, it seemed as if it was covered in a thin layer of scales.
The most baffling thing about the scales was if you looked straight at the blade of the Silver Scales, it would just appear to be silver and white.
However, if one viewed it from a certain angle, it appeared pitch black, and there was no shine at all.
If Geena made good use of this, he would indeed have a fantastic result when he used it against an enemy.
Besides that, Geena picked the Silver Scales as he also used a spear before this, Dragon-Exterminator Spear.
Moreover, Geena was most comfortable with spears.
However, the Silver Scales Spear‘s grade was slightly inferior to the Dragon-Exterminator Spear.
After taking the spear, Geena would naturally be choosing the spear-type martial art skills.
Nevertheless, he was still not in a hurry to pick one.
Hence, Geena went to where they placed the middle-rank weapons.
Since he was already here, he should surely gain more knowledge.
The middle-rank weapons were far lesser than the lower-rank weapons.
Furthermore, the higher the ranking, the lesser the availability of the weapons.
Fabian secretly told Geena that the Lawrences had high-ranking weapons, but they were all kept on the third floor of the martial art chambers, and ordinary people would not be allowed to go there.
Geena nodded.
When he was acknowledging Fabian, a long dark red sword caught his attention.
Through Fabian’s introduction, Fabian learned that the sword’s handle had delicate red patterns on it, and it was named Flame Sword.
Geena was not attracted to the Flame Sword because it was rare, but because when he approached the Flame Sword, he felt it radiating subtle heat.
More accurately, the heat was radiated from the fine red patterns!
When Geena took a closer look at the pattern, he noticed as if there was fire flowing in it, and the closer he was to it, the more obvious the heat was.
“This is..?” Geena’s eyes glistened with surprise, and he cast a curious glance at Fabian.
When Fabian saw the Flame Sword, a trace of envy flashed in his eyes.
Finally, he licked his lips and answered, “Those are inscriptions.”
“Are you talking about these red-colored fine lines?” Geena asked.
Fabian answered, “Yes, these fine lines were carved by an inscriber.
A weapon needs to be at least middle-rank to be inscribed.
There are also many types of inscriptions. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
As you can see on this Flame Sword’s carvings, it can make it produce flame-like heat.
Moreover, there are inscription patterns that can speed up sharp weapons’ movement and even produce thunder.
”
“Based on that, inscriptions can add different abilities to a weapon?” Geena stared at the Flame Sword and asked.
“In summary, yes.
However, inscription patterns are profound, and I can’t explain them to you in detail.
If you’re interested, there’s an inscriber at the Oceans Chamber of Commerce in Greenfield.
Normally, a well-do family will greatly nurture their younger generations, and they’ll prepare weapons that have inscriptions for them.
After all, those weapons of the same rank without inscriptions will have big differences than those with inscriptions.
Such as this Flame Sword.
It’s a sixth-grade weapon, but when dealing with other common sharp weapons of the same grade, the common weapon may burn and melt from the activation of the Flame Sword’s inscription!”
“That’s so amazing! ” Geena blinked as he nodded, “Oceans Chamber of Commerce.
I know it now.
Thank you for letting me know, Fabian.”
“You know it now?” Fabian was stunned, and he exclaimed, “Josef, as your elder, I must remind you to be careful.
You may be interested in these inscriptions, but if you want to research it… Well, it’s better if you don’t.”
Geena looked at Fabian puzzledly.
“Why? Will my life be threatened?”
Fabian laughed wryly.
“That’s not the case.
Alright, I’ll give you the simplest example.
Only one out of a thousand warriors can feel the essence of the world and ascend into Pulse Control Realm as a cultivator.
However, are you aware of how rare an inscriber is? One out of how many warriors?”
“Ten thousand?” Geena frowned.
Although this ratio was not high, it was also not enough to put anybody off either.
Fabian shook his head.
“One hundred thousand?” Geena guessed again.
This ratio was indeed low.
“You wished! It’s more than one million!” Fabian appeared as if he was worried that he frightened Josef, so he whispered, “I heard about this from the Old Master as well.
Moreover, this one in a million person can only be an apprentice.
If they want to be a qualified inscriber, they need to be at least a cultivator of Pulse Control Realm! By then, that person will be one-millionth of the Pulse Control Realm!”
If that was the case, the possibility was indeed really low.
“If you want to be an inscriber, you’ll need to practice too.
Josef, you should know that those materials used to engrave the inscriptions are all expensive.
You might as well just burn the money.
These are just the tip of the iceberg.
Besides these, you must also be gifted in that sense.
Look at our Lawrence family.
Even if the whole family puts in the effort, we won’t be able to nurture an apprentice.
Otherwise, the Old Master would already have his plan!
Next, Fabian patiently persuaded Josef, “Josef, you should forget about this.
Researching about inscriptions will only waste your time, and you’ll end up empty-handed too.”
