4. Famous as Trash

Su Mo arrived at the Book Collection Pavillion.

The Book Collection Pavilion, a four-storey tower, was where the Su stored martial art scrolls.

Before Su Mo had awakened his Martial Soul, he could only study the first floor's elementary martial arts. He already had procured the skills he needed through his father. Hence, he did not require to visit the Book Collection Pavillion.

But, it would surely hurt to waste the protag's luck.

Also, how would he get to bitch slap a few without following "The Library" trope?

"Elder, I want to choose a scroll on the second floor," Su Mo said, saluting the pavilion protector as he stepped into the Book Collection Pavilion.

"The second floor?"

The fat old pavilion protector said indifferently, "Su Mo, the second floor can only be accessed by those whose cultivation is at the Qi Cultivation Realm. No exceptions."

"I know that, elder. I have reached Qi Cultivation Realm," Su Mo nodded and said.

"Qi Cultivation Realm?" The pavilion protector was stunned. Then, he said with a cold expression, "Su Mo, you just awakened your Martial Soul yesterday, and it was at Rank 1 Human Class. How could you be at the Qi Cultivation Realm so soon with that crappy Martial Soul? Even if you had a Rank 3 Human Class Martial Soul, it wouldn't be possible. Are you kidding me?"

"oh, really!"

Su Mo released an aura of Qi Cultivation Realm with an amusing expression.

Then, he went up to the Book Collection Pavilion's second floor, leaving the pavilion protector awestruck.

"He… he did it!"

The pavilion protector was stunned, but then he laughed disdainfully.

"The Master surely dotes on him. Does he think Su Mo can still go far with his crappy Martial Soul? Looks like the clan will change hands soon."

Su Mo went to the second floor and saw rows of antique bookshelves full of scrolls.

The Su Clan was one of the two main clans in Sunnywood City, so they had many cultivation ars and martial skills. There were almost 100 scrolls on the second floor of the Book Collection Pavilion.

A tall young man was browsing the scrolls there.

"Su Mo!"

The young man was initially surprised to see Su Mo, but he glared at him with complete disdain.

"Su Heng!" Su Mo glanced back at him.

Su Heng also awakened a Martial Soul yesterday. His Martial Soul was of Rank 4 Human Class Martial Soul, which was not as good as Su Yu's, but still a high rank one.

Since Su Heng was on the second floor, his cultivation must have also reached the Qi Cultivation Realm.

"Well, this is unexpected, Su Mo. I heard yesterday that the Master bought a 'Qi Condensation Elixir' from the Herbs Shop, which is probably what you used to increase your cultivation!"

Su Heng looked at Sumo with contempt.

"It's none of your business how I cultivate," Su Mo said smiled coldly. He was in a pleasant mood.

He checked out the first trope. {Underling's Contempt}.

Then, he began to browse the manuals and ignored him.

When Su Mo was still considered Su's top genius, Su Heng had fawned on him, and Su Mo had been very kind to him.

However, Su Heng now had a completely different attitude towards Su Mo.

"Genius, my foot. Trash!" Su Heng snorted and continued selecting his manuals.

Su Mo picked up a manual in the cultivation skill category and began reading it.

"Raging Fire Skill. Medium Lv 1 Cultivation Skill. The Genuine Qi cultivated through this method has powerful firepower and strong attack…"

Su Mo continued to browse after reading a few pages of this book.

He wanted to read a few more manuals to choose the most suitable cultivation skill to deduce [Refined Art 1.1].

All of the manuals on this floor were at Medium Lv 1. The manuals of Upper Lv 1 were only on the third floor.

However, those manuals were only available for those whose cultivation was at Lv 7 Qi Cultivation Realm.

[Huge Rock Art] (Medium Lv 1 cultivation skill) The Genuine Qi cultivated through this method is dense and has a strong defence.

[Clouds Art] (Medium Lv 1 cultivation skill) The Genuine Qi cultivated through this method is pure and has an equally strong attack and defence.

After reading several manuals, Su Mo selected Cloud Skill because of its pure genuine Qi and strong attack and defence.

After choosing a cultivation skill, it was time to choose a martial art.

[Iron Fist] This fist play is fierce and can easily crack open stones after practising to the great Completion Realm.

[Flying Swordplay] This swordsmanship is ethereal, agile, and gorgeous.

[Breeze Palm]

[Ninefold Ocean Wave Fist]

Su Mo was not satisfied with a dozen martial skills that he read.

"Frenzy Fight?"

Su Mo's eyes brightened when he saw the name of this manual. The name suited his personality. He opened the manual excitedly.

[Frenzy Fight] (Low Lv 1 Martial Skill)It does not matter how you fight. The last one standing wins.

"This is the one! Though it is a low grade, it does not matter to me. It must have something extraordinary to be kept on the second floor." After reading for a moment, Su Mo nodded with satisfaction.

As he was about to leave with the two manuals, Su Heng suddenly blocked him.

"Let's see. Frenzy Fight, huh. What else can you expect from Trash." Su Heng laughed arrogantly.

Su Mo glanced, "Huh?"

"I was thinking about picking out your manual and roughen you up, but you." Su Heng raised his chin and picked the "Ninefold Ocean Wave Fist" manual and left.

But not before leaving a comment. "Trash."

Su Mo was left astounded.

"What the F***. Wasn't I supposed to be the one leaving him as a ball full of anger?"

~A/N: That's why you should not skip the manuals picked by the protag.~

Su Mo smiled wryly. He knew he might have picked a different manual from the original. But it did not matter.

There were hundreds of idiots out there, if not thousands. He would flex his MC halo later. He continued browsing but could not find anything better.

He registered the two scrolls and left.

While Su Mo was busy in his own world, the news that he awakened a Rank 1 Human Class Martial Soul spread all throughout Sunnywood City.

One must say that good deeds may take time to spread, but bad news spreads like wildfire.

The young master and the first genius of Su, Su Mo had awakened a crappy Martial Soul!

This caused a stir in Sunnywood City, and many people treated him like a joke.

Many had considered him to be an obstacle in their plans, but now they were elated. What could be better than a thorn in their feet removing itself? The delay in plans didn't hurt much.

Undisturbed by the outside world, Su Mo went back to his room and prepared to practise his martial techniques.
