Chapter 25: Li Changsheng The bustling streets were devoid of the literary havens that Han Yichen had hoped to find. It seemed that access to written knowledge was a rare commodity, adding an extra layer of challenge to his pursuit of historical understanding. As the rain began to descend from the sky, its intensity quickly escalated, transforming into a torrential downpour. The cascading droplets created a symphony of sound, soaking the city streets and shrouding the landscape in a veil of mist and dampness. Undeterred by the weather's sudden change, Han Yichen pressed on, his determination unwavering. The owner of this weathered establishment was a young boy around 18 years, perched upon the makeshift cashier counter. His chiseled jawline, black hair, and piercing golden eyes caught Han Yichen's attention. The boy appeared deep in thought, diligently engrossed in a fat book that lay open before him. His pen glided across the pages, leaving behind traces of his contemplations and
Chapter 26: Era Of Legends Han Yichen marveled at the attention given to the smallest details. Delicate filigree adorned the corners of the bookshelves, while soft lighting cast a warm glow over the room, enhancing the sense of tranquility and inviting readers to lose themselves in the world of words. "Give me all three books you have. I will buy them," Han Yichen stated with an air of indifference, his tone betraying a hint of authority. Li Changsheng's eyes widened at the unexpected request. Nevertheless, he swiftly complied, reaching for the three fat books and placing them before Han Yichen with a mixture of excitement and curiosity. As he prepared to announce the price, a wave of embarrassment washed over him, causing his ears to turn a shade of crimson. "Three hundred Qi coins," Li Changsheng managed to stammer out, his voice betraying his unease. He was acutely aware that the price he quoted seemed exorbitant, bordering on daylight robbery. Han Yichen blinked in surprise
Chapter 27: Birth Of A Legend In response to his query, a familiar ding reverberated in Li Changsheng's mind, signaling the arrival of the system's reply. "Affirmative," the system confirmed. "When he awakens, his memories of the experiences he had during his slumber will be akin to that of a fleeting dream. And he will feel a little increased strength. It will depend on how much he can remember." Li Changsheng's smile broadened at the system's response. He understood that while Han Yichen might not retain a conscious recollection of the events in his dream-like state, the impact on his inner strength and abilities would remain tangible. It was an opportunity for Han Yichen to undergo profound growth, even if it remained concealed within the depths of his subconscious mind. And this would obviously secure him a guarantee customer. In the midst of the engulfing darkness and the cascading flow of blood, an extraordinary event unfolded—an event that would etch itself into the annals
Chapter 28: A LegendThis child was Arthur, the central figure of the Era of Legends, the hero whose name would reverberate through the annals of history.Han Yichen watched in awe as the young Arthur, fueled by an innate resilience and an unwavering determination, defied the odds and pressed forward amidst the chaos. The surroundings seemed oblivious to Han Yichen's presence, as if he was an unseen observer, a ghostly witness to the birth of a legend.Five years ago he was suddenly this world. It seemed like no one could see him.His mind flashed back to the realization that he had completed the first volume of the Era of Legends before falling asleep.Han Yichen's gaze sharpened as he observed Arthur more closely. Despite being branded as a bastard, Arthur possessed an inherent strength that surpassed the boundaries of his birth. The blood of a powerful demigod coursed through his veins, endowing him with extraordinary potential from the moment of his birth.While most mortals strug
Chapter 29: Ghoul EmperorThis serendipitous alignment of traits and abilities became Han Yichen's greatest advantage. It was a lottery ticket that granted him a unique affinity with the legendary figure he admired. With every passing day, he grew more confident in his own potential, knowing that he had been chosen to carry on the legacy of Arthur and carve his own path to greatness."Contemptible humans; how dare you assault and claim my shelter for your own? Lay down your arms and submit to slavery and I will spare your lives. This is the only offer for such mercy you will receive," Ghost-Sword Prince coldly proclaimed.The Spirit-sword king's words echoed in the air, filled with arrogance and a sense of superiority. He had gone to hunt a half-divine beast and when the spirit-sword king found that his empire had been defeated and taken over.It had been twenty years. Since then unfortunately Arthur couldn't break through to the sixth ascension however his strength was comparable to
Chapter 30: Clash Of TitansThe Blood King, his armor dripping with crimson essence, exuded an aura of malevolence. He conjured tendrils of dark energy that snaked through the air, seeking to ensnare Arthur in their suffocating grip. The ground beneath Arthur's feet quivered as molten fissures ruptured, spewing forth torrents of scorching lava. With a swift movement, Arthur leaped from the erupting earth, his boots landing gracefully on a nearby rock formation.The Ghoul Emperor, draped in tattered black robes that fluttered in an ethereal wind, materialized spectral apparitions that skittered across the battlefield. Their haunting moans filled the air as they lunged towards Arthur with skeletal claws extended. Like a true warrior, Arthur danced between them, his movements fluid and precise, deflecting their attacks with the grace of a seasoned dancer.The clash of steel echoed through the chaos as Arthur parried blow after blow. The sparks that erupted with each collision illuminated
Chapter 31: MentalityLi Changsheng's face contorted into a frown as a pensive thought insinuated itself into his mind. It was an indubitable fact that the very first time he laid eyes upon the individual in question, they bore the unmistakable signs of physical impairment, rendering them a cripple of sorts."Ding!"Suddenly, a notification from the system materialized in his consciousness, breaking through his contemplation. The words reverberated in his mind, carrying a sense of significance. "Your inaugural customer has been profoundly influenced and enlightened by the words contained within your book," the notification proclaimed. Li Changsheng's eyes widened with astonishment and anticipation. "Reward: Level up!"His mood immediately lightened; however, at that moment, Li Changsheng's brow furrowed once again. Enlightenment was one of the profound abilities locked within the pages of his written works. Only those who could recall more than ninety-seven percent of the content woul

Now, in the quiet solitude of his meditation, he could feel the progress he had made.As he focused his energy inward, Han Yichen could sense the healing of his meridians. Once blocked and damaged, they now pulsed with newfound vitality. It was a testament to his unwavering determination and the mysterious power of the book he had read in a small bookstore.With his meridians restored, Han Yichen could once again engage in cultivation.
