My Way

Chapter 20 Reading
Shortly after.

Ling Wuyuan and others, who account for more than 80% of the total number of newcomers, came to the gang school.

The teacher who appeared before them was a white-haired old man in a simple robe.

The other party's spirit and energy seem to be pretty good.

And his legs and feet are quite nimble when he walks.

"Everyone, nice to meet you. From now on, I will be the teacher responsible for teaching you basic knowledge. You can call me Teacher Zhao."

"Here, I need to remind you that the performance assessment will be conducted once a month. If you fail the test, the punishment will be very severe. It will be handled directly by the Punishment Hall. You will be whipped at any time and your skin will be torn apart..."

"Of course, in addition to this, I need to remind you that reading and writing is really a very important thing, even for martial artists. If you don't want to get a martial arts secret book in the future but not understand the content or only understand part of the content, it is best to study seriously from the bottom of your heart."

The words were full of warnings.

As a warrior + teacher.

What Mr. Zhao didn't say just now is that being able to understand only part of the secret book but thinking you understand it completely is actually countless times more dangerous than not being able to understand the secret book at all.

In that situation, it is very easy to kill yourself or become disabled.

Even for a force with a long history like the White Crow Gang, there are still cases from time to time where, even without professional instruction, new recruits still maim themselves.

As for that purely wild way?

For them, there are countless cases of themselves dying from training.

So, even though it’s none of my business.

But as a teacher, if possible, he felt that it would be better for his students to study hard and not end up in such a miserable situation.

It is precisely because of this.

He was actually quite satisfied with the punishment mechanism within the White Crow Gang.

It's better to be whipped than to train yourself to death...

only.

Many newcomers who have no idea of the value of knowledge simply don’t understand all of this…

As he finished speaking, the students who had already found their seats and sat down one after another, no matter what they thought in their minds, chose to agree, at least verbally acknowledging what Teacher Zhao said.

See this situation.

The other party also nodded slightly.

Start making arrangements...
-
time flies.

one year later.

Among the White Crow Gang.

Ling Wuyuan, who appeared to be eleven years old, was sitting in a corner of the library, looking at the book in his hands with a calm expression under the sunlight shining from the window.

The library is where the White Crow Gang stores all kinds of collected ordinary books.

The building is 25 meters high and has three floors.

It is said that through hundreds of years of continuous collection, the collection has exceeded 100,000 books.

The first layer contains history, geography, customs, literature...

The second layer contains animal encyclopedias, rare skills and tricks...

The third layer contains myths, anecdotes, and so on.

Now Ling Wuyuan is staying on the first floor.

basically.

Ever since he learned the writing of this world, he has been spending more than six hours a day reading books here.

Sometimes we even stay here overnight.

When you are tired, just sleep on the floor here.

After waking up, he continued to read silently, as if he was reading to madness.

Moreover, the types of books he read are very diverse.

Basically he'll watch all sorts of random stuff.

The main feature is that there is no distinction between high and low status and categories.

Even some weird literature that seemed extremely nonsensical and as if the author was just imagining things, he accepted them all.

Because for him.

Any knowledge is extremely valuable.

Perhaps it looks quite insignificant, with the actual content being just a few sentences, a few dozen words only, but it may very well contain the truths that were painstakingly summed up after countless deaths and injuries.

Even those things that seem to be groundless imagination may contain some extremely strange personal experiences of the author.

And all of that will become the steps for his continued growth in the future...

but.

His attitude towards reading made the other people feel as if he was reading like a man obsessed with reading.

Not only have you basically sacrificed all your time for enjoyment.

Even with the other newcomers, he only maintained the most basic contact and did not get close to or communicate with anyone.

At most, there will be some extra communication with the teacher.

For example, proactively asking some strange questions that are a bit off the beaten path.

This makes everyone's impression of him very simple and straightforward.

[A loner who doesn't fit in with the group], [A weirdo whose head is full of books]...

and.

Because he read so fast, many people thought that he just glanced at the book and put it back, then changed to another book to continue reading.

It seemed as if he was looking for some specific information among many books, and he did not carefully read the books he had already got.

however.

Ling Wuyuan did read every book carefully.

With the help of his special talent, he, who already has the ability to read ten lines at a glance, can completely memorize a page of densely packed characters in his mind in just a few seconds.

So, for him now, it only takes a few minutes to remember the contents of an entire book.

Because he reads too fast, in order to avoid attracting other people's attention, he often deliberately slows down or hides in a corner.

Now, after a year of natural growth, although he has not yet practiced martial arts, his innate ability to increase his speed has reached four times the speed along with the natural development of his body.

And after his repeated attempts, he has been able to achieve other accelerations besides simple physical acceleration.

For example, the acceleration of thinking speed.

Even make part of your own power constant.

For example, there is no need to deliberately activate your innate abilities to speed yourself up, and you can constantly apply double the acceleration of your thinking and nerve reactions to yourself.

As for constant acceleration of one's own speed in all directions?
Ling Wuyuan felt that it was unnecessary now.

That would speed up the loss of his life and the growth of his body.

He felt that if he could continue to improve in the control and development of his own talents and abilities, he might be able to simply accelerate his physical growth without affecting his lifespan.

of course.

Thinking about those operations now, it is more or less a bit too ambitious.

Those operations should wait until he has cultivated his martial arts to a certain level first...
