The Zero Inside the Martial Arts Library

Chapter 1: The resurrection of the heavenly Soul

“From today onwards, you will be in charge of Area A on the third floor.”

The attendant mechanically gave Ye Xiao a work permit which marked the beginning of working in this new life.

Ye Xiao thanked him and turned to walk to the third floor. When the officer saw him leave, he shook his head slightly.

“Sweetest. The young man was extremely handsome, but his heavenly soul had yet to awaken. Such waste.”

Ye Xiao did not hear the officer's words. At that moment, he received a memory of his current body.

Ten minutes ago, he died of a serious illness. In the blink of an eye, he had moved into a parallel world.

The civilization of the world was similar to that of previous civilizations. The only difference is that what is now is the world of martial arts.

The rise of martial arts had caused humans to mainly focus on cultivation. Through cultivation, an ordinary person could become as immortal as in the novels he had read in his past life. Their lifespan would be extended and they could fly across the vast sky.

However, the prerequisite for achieving great success in cultivation was to awaken something called a heavenly soul.

Clearly, Ye Xiao in that world had yet to awaken his heavenly soul. He could only practice some mediocre martial arts and was destined to become a laborer.

What a piece of trash!

However, Ye Xiao immediately felt relieved.

He could not obtain great achievements on the path of martial arts, which also meant that he would not face great danger.

In his previous life, Ye Xiao, who had been tormented by illness and pain, was eager to live.

Life is more important than anything.

The library where he would work provided food and accommodation. In addition, the monthly salary is 3,500 yuan and the entire library is air-conditioned 24 hours a day. There was also a good smell in the air.

“Is this Area A?”

Ye Xiao was somewhat satisfied with his work.

Each city had its own martial arts library that recorded the many cultivation techniques developed by martial artists in detail to be borrowed by the younger generation.

Cultivation techniques at the lower level were relatively low, so they could be borrowed and read at will.

Top-tier high-quality cultivation techniques were guarded by elite martial artists, so ordinary people were not allowed to enter.

The area Ye Xiao managed contained basic cultivation techniques. There were many of them in the first and second levels so naturally, very few people dared to the third level which gave him a lot of free time.

However, at that moment, a sharp pain pulsed in his mind, and a book that emitted a faint golden light appeared.

Ye Xiao could not help but be surprised. Through the memories of his previous self, he quickly understood what it was.

“I have awakened my heavenly soul?”

The resurrection was quite timely.

However, Ye Xiao was not too excited.

After a lifetime, he had long known that everything came with a catch.

Martial arts do not require much to be used properly. As long as one could protect themselves it was enough.

There were many martial artists in that world. He is invincible. If he became a martial artist, he would definitely die.

Since he had nothing to do, Ye Xiao studied his heavenly soul mechanism. By communicating with the heavenly soul in his mind, he easily understood the details behind it.

“By looking at the cultivation technique and then storing it in the Golden Book of the soul god, then the Golden Book will cultivate it on its own. There is no limit to the number of techniques that can be stored. If you cultivate the same type of cultivation technique, you can synthesize a higher level of that cultivation technique and continue to cultivate it. However, you cannot re-record cultivation techniques derived from the same basic cultivation technique.”

“Sounds like it's very strong.”

His heavenly soul can cultivate itself. He only needed to read the cultivation technique once and the next problem would be solved. It was perfect for a casual individual like Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao also understood that the cultivation technique of the same basic cultivation technique could not be recorded.

Many cultivation techniques are actually variations that are derived from basic cultivation techniques. Some unscrupulous martial artists with sufficient talent could purchase basic cultivation techniques and earn high copyright fees from the cultivation techniques derived from them. It was very similar to the techniques of pirated and plagiarized cultivation in his previous life.

After comprehending the foundation of his heavenly soul, Ye Xiao immediately began searching for cultivation techniques from the bookshelf.

Read it fast and his comprehension ability is strong. Moreover, cultivation techniques were not like thick novels. Instead, some cultivation techniques consisted of only a few pages in a pamphlet.

Only four cultivation techniques were recorded into his divine soul Golden Book which were two sword techniques, one sword technique, and one attack manual.

The other 21 books are all plagiarized.

The four books are also plagiarized versions. However, the Gold Book would prioritize the first cultivation technique that came from a basic cultivation technique of the same type and extract the basic cultivation technique from it.

Ye Xiao could not help but feel a little helpless. Those people are too shameless.

Then, he looked at the Golden Book. There were four pages filled with cultivation techniques. Moreover, there was a cultivation progress bar at the bottom that increased at a speed visible to the naked eye. It melted his mood.

He could even feel that the cultivation in his body was slowly increasing.

“Not bad. From the looks of it, I should be able to become a second-rate martial artist soon.”

The ranks of martial artists were divided into Houtian and Xiantian.

The Houtian realm was divided into one to nine classes.

The Xiantian realm was also divided into one to nine classes.

However, those at the Houtian realm would be known as martial artists. As for those who were at the Xiantian realm, they were called grandmasters, grandmasters, and heavenly grandmasters according to their progress every three levels in the realm.

It was said that reaching the grandmaster rank was already extremely outstanding!

In the city that Ye Xiao was in, there were over 100,000 new graduates from every martial arts academy force, and among those people, there were over 100,000 new graduates from every martial arts academy force, it was considered normal for ten of them to enter the Xiantian realm after cultivating for decades or even close.

Thus, the rank of grandmaster could be said to be held by one in ten thousand martial artists.

Thus, it was needless to mention how difficult it was to cultivate to the top rank.

Then, the clock shows at 12 p.m. Ye Xiao stretched and ended his reading.

It's time for lunch.

The food in the cafeteria was not bad. After all, the library was also a municipal office. There are also subsidies for eating. A bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup only costs five yuan. That's very cheap!

Ye Xiao narrowed his eyes and smiled.

“Looks like I'll eat good from now onwards.”

He ordered food and sat in a corner to enjoy it while quietly listening to the conversation of his comrades. That way, he could get to know the situation around him better.

At a table not far from there, some male colleagues were picking their food while grumbling.

“Damn it, the work in the library is really not meant for humans. I have been assigned to the logistics department and have been carrying books all morning. I'm so tired that I can't even straighten my back.”

“It wasn't too bad. At least you can rest. I'm in a much worse situation than you are. I was on guard at the door and was not given a break, I had to hold back urination for half a day.”

“Egypt! Stop complaining. It is only our luck because we have not awakened our heavenly souls. After practicing for over ten years, we are still first-rate martial artists.

“We can only wait and see if we can move up to second grade after training for a few more years.

“After that, we still have the opportunity to join the army or recruitment company.

“When the time comes, we can definitely get a soul compaction pill. There is still hope for us to awaken our heavenly soul.”

“What do you think? Even after practicing for over ten years, you are still a first-rate martial artist. It's hard to tell if you can even move up to second grade in this life. Even if you do, you will be at least thirty years old. You'll just be an old dog. Which company wants you? You better work hard if you have such a dream.”

Ye Xiao sighed inwardly. It seemed like in the world of martial arts, it was even harder to make a name for yourself than in his previous life.

He reckoned that if he wanted to cultivate into a grandmaster, it would take several years.

Forgetit. As a waste, lying low will work.

The moment that thought popped into his mind, pop sounds came out from within his body. In an instant, Ye Xiao felt that his strength had increased exponentially.

It caused the hand of Ye Xiao, who was lifting the vegetables to his mouth, to involuntarily stop.

Her…. Sophisticated?
