At the moment Sun Zhe reached his right hand into the Light Barrier, the transparent Light Barrier suddenly flickered with a blinding yellow light. A sudden resistance immediately transmitted from the Light Barrier, causing Sun Zhe's right hand to be bounced back.
Sun Zhe's expression changed slightly; this situation was beyond his expectations. Without any hesitation, the Thunder Attribute Spiritual Power at his Dantian surged up and instantly flowed into his right arm. His entire right hand shone with a dazzling Purple Radiance as he once again reached into the Light Barrier.
With nearly the power of a Four-Star Thunderer, the two forces clashed, and ultimately, Sun Zhe gained the upper hand. Moments later, a scroll glowing with a faint yellow light appeared in Sun Zhe's right hand, which was precisely the one inside the Light Barrier.
“Mighty Fist (Fragment), Human-Grade Mid-Tier Martial Technique, practiced by the Ancient Savage People. When mastered to perfection, it can shatter all things and break apart the stars, embodying the brute strength of the savage people’s Divine Ability. Although this Mighty Fist is merely a simplified remnant, much simpler than that of the Ancient Martial Arts, it is also much easier to practice. Even when cultivated deeply, it can still yield immense power, unmatched in strength.”
Looking at the introduction on the scroll, a glimmer of joy flashed in Sun Zhe's eyes. Although this Mighty Fist was only a mid-tier martial art among Human Rank, with higher-tier martial arts above it, Sun Zhe knew that this was the martial art most suited for him.
Due to his Thunder Body, Sun Zhe's physical strength was already much greater than others. The Mighty Fist was precisely crafted for him; as long as he mastered this technique, he would definitely be able to unleash his physical power. At that time, his strength would surely increase significantly. With immense power, even an ordinary Thunder Master Level Expert would likely not dare to face him head-on.
“Does the little one have strength...”
A voice filled with age suddenly sounded from behind him. Startled, Sun Zhe immediately turned around and found that an unknown figure, the Sweeping Old Man, had appeared behind him. A cold sweat involuntarily trickled down his back; this old man had silently approached him. If he were an enemy, he would probably already be dead.
“I got a bit carried away just now,” Sun Zhe thought to himself.
Hearing the old man's seemingly casual words, Sun Zhe's pupils constricted slightly as a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes. At that moment, he carefully observed the old man. Dressed in extremely worn gray clothes, with completely white hair and dim yellow eyes that seemed devoid of spirit, he held a broom in his hand and continued sweeping dust from the ground even while speaking to Sun Zhe.
“You're too humble, senior.” After watching for a while, Sun Zhe still couldn't see through this Sweeping Old Man. The old man appeared no different from an ordinary elderly person, yet his previous words clearly indicated that he had seen through Sun Zhe's depth. For a moment, Sun Zhe truly could not decipher the old man's intentions.
Upon hearing Sun Zhe's response, the old man stopped sweeping and slowly raised his head. His yellowed eyes squinted slightly as a kind smile creased his wrinkled face. While looking up and down at Sun Zhe, he gently nodded and began to speak as if murmuring to himself.
"Above the body, Thunder Light suddenly appeared, Thunder Path Qualification is extraordinary, and the bones are quite remarkable, barely considered a good seed."
After finishing, he completely ignored Sun Zhe and began to sweep the floor seriously again, as if he had come solely to evaluate Sun Zhe without any other purpose.
A flash of brilliance appeared in Sun Zhe's eyes as he clasped his hands in respect and said, "I hope the senior can provide some guidance."
At this moment, even a fool would understand that this Sweeping Old Man was definitely a hidden expert. Even though he couldn't sense any aura from him, just based on these words alone, it was clear that he was not an ordinary person. Of course, it was also possible that this old man was just rambling and happened to hit the mark, but such coincidences were too rare; at least Sun Zhe would never believe it.
"The old man is just a servant sweeping the floor; how could he offer guidance? You’ve got the wrong person, kid... Come on, kid, step aside so I can sweep this area..."
After saying that, without paying attention to Sun Zhe's reaction, he directly began to sweep with the broom. Sun Zhe was taken aback but had no choice but to step aside.
The first floor of this library was extremely spacious, with tall bookshelves separating the middle. Everyone inside was focused on their own cultivation books, and surprisingly, no one noticed the conversation between the two.
"Ah, finally finished sweeping. The old man's work for today is finally done..." After finishing, he looked up at the helpless expression on Sun Zhe's face, and a hint of amusement flashed in the old man's eyes.
"Originally, I didn’t want to clean here either. A couple of days ago, I saw that the scroll on the far right of the third row of the bookshelf to your right had fallen down. I picked it up and saw it was covered in dust before realizing how dirty this first floor was. After sweeping today, it's finally much cleaner. Ah, it's good to be done..." He patted his somewhat sore back and slowly walked out.
"Joking around, how could that scroll fall by itself when it has protective seals..." Hearing the old man's somewhat nonsensical words made Sun Zhe chuckle a bit. However, as soon as he spoke, his expression suddenly froze, and a flash of ecstasy crossed his eyes as if he understood the meaning behind the old man's words.
"The far right of the third row of the bookshelf..."
In the midst of the conversation, Sun Zhe immediately rushed towards the bookshelf on the right.
"Haha, the kid's reaction is still too slow. Back in my day, I... uh, wait a minute, considering his current strength, whether he can get that Martial Arts is a question. Sigh, never mind, this isn't my concern. The old man has nothing to say; everything is just for the kid to guess..." Watching Sun Zhe's movements, the Sweeping Old Man's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement. Then, as if recalling something, he shook his head helplessly and muttered irresponsibly to himself.
Meanwhile, the old man's footsteps did not stop; instead of leaving the attic, he slowly walked towards the entrance of the second floor. Just as he was about to step into the entrance, a layer of white light suddenly flashed out, which was a defensive barrier preventing outsiders from entering.
However, the old man seemed oblivious to this layer of white light and stepped right through without any hesitation. Surprisingly, the white light did not waver at all, and in an instant, the old man's figure vanished from the first floor. If Sun Zhe had seen this scene, he would have been shocked with his mouth agape; this barrier that could block a Thunder Master had no effect on the old man whatsoever!
Meanwhile, a disciple responsible for registration on the first floor sighed in relief as he watched the old man leave, a look of liberation washing over his face.
