The next day , the city continued with its usual affairs but not everything was the same .

The number of guards at the city gates had increased to more than ten fold . Even the Royal Prince showed his face after two years and he patrolled the whole city with more than 200 cultivators from the royal army .

People were skeptical but had no choice to believe their words that the Prince was only here for inspection . What a joke ? The royal army had only 300 cultivators who were the best of the best . The prince took 200 out of them for simple patrol? Even commoners who were smart began to have suspicions but nobody dared to voice it out . The Royal Family was famous for corruption and bullying but nobody ever gets punished in the end . The Emperor was simply too fond of his bloodline and ruled over the Empire with iron fist .

If Raven heard about this performance then he would laugh loudly until his stomach bursts. You are searching for the thief ? Your father is here but you cannot hope to find me !

Unfortunately for the Royal and Noble Families, the culprit they were frantically searching for was currently busy reading thick books inside the Academy Library. The classes were only for morning two hours and Raven simply sat there and had no energy to listen to the content.

Raven was embarrassed and excited because he had looted too many books , treasures , pills and even Martial Skillls yesterday but it was all currently wasted as he could not even recognize most of them much less understand them . He immediately chose to rush back to his residence and started grabbing books from the library. Of course he read all of them leisurely inside the Mirror World . He hated studying like any normal earthling but also knew that only if he had the knowledge, then he can obtain and use the treasures wisely .

In fact the nobles who were planning to slander and bully Raven were too quiet thus people started guessing the reasons . It was too common for nobles to slander commoners for pleasure and feeling high and mighty . Especially Trash like Raven who had the lowest background and even the most trash talent for cultivation. Teachers did not stop Raven as they thought that he must be fleeing from the bullies . This actually saved Raven from useless troubles!

The library had 3 floors in total and new disciples were only allowed to enter the first floor . The second year students could only choose two skills from the first floor every six months for free . But Raven wanted to read all the books which were deemed necessary by him . They still numbered more than 1000 . So Raven was planning to completely study the books first before starting cultivating for real.

Encyclopedia of Magical Beasts

Cultivation Foundation

Cultivation of Heart etc .

All these books had opened a completely new door for Raven . So much knowledge about the basics of everything. Raven wanted to understand them as in the future he can then rely on these basics to choose better knowledge. There were too many cultivation techniques in the library but Raven wanted to carefully choose one . He was not afraid of falling behind others because he never intended to continue studying in the Academy for long anyway . For him Academy was only treasure trove of knowledge and he would leave after squeezing and absorbing as much he can . Besides pills , there were many natural treasures that even increased cultivation base without any side effects . But they were either too rare or just exist in truly dangerous places . Raven wanted to find the locations and use them to become stronger ! With his Mirror World , he can roam in the most dangerous places where even the most powerful experts did not dare to enter ! He can easily acquire the treasures of Various Ancient Tombs or Small Worlds ! He will steal and enjoy the lifestyle of extravagance ! He will shake the world and become the peerless expert in future !!

But first he has to defeat huge enemy called books and scrolls ! He decided to first find something helpful to increase his memory because his brain is normal and cannot memorize such huge amount of information. He cannot just read the books only to forget the crucial knowledge in future after all .
