Chaos Devourer System

Chapter 65  Choosing A Cultivation Manual

Zeras entered the gigantic structure and found himself in a hall filled with books that were floating in the air when suddenly his watch beeped.

At the end of the hall, another door could be seen with something written on at its top.

"Archive 2."

"A first-year student named Zeras Celestria has been identified.

Welcome to the First Archive Mana manual halls. Every book around you is a cultivation manual for newbies with level 1 authority. You can only see the title of the technique and read the description. If it fits with you, you can choose them by holding on to them for more than 5 seconds." an AI voice echoed out in the hall.

"Interesting..." Zeras muttered it seemed there were levels to the cultivation manual halls. Besides, different levels of authority were also required to access the archives. He was only at the first level of authority due to him just being newly admitted.

Zeras marveled at the floating books in front of him, wondering what level of technology was installed in the hall to make the book float in the air. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"You only have 30 minutes to choose your cultivation Manual." The AI voice as Zeras immediately moved towards the closest book to him, taking it in his hands he looked at the title before moving on to the description:

//Air Absorption Manual//

// Grade: Common level//

//Absorbs Mana from the air a meter around the surroundings. Increases absorption Mana rate when in an area where the Wind concentration is higher.//

//Price: 50 points.//

Zeras looked at the manual as he felt that the manual was pretty cool but with two limitations.

Zeras put down the book as he began moving around the hall and checking out the books.

Force absorption manual, black hole Mana manual, light corona manual, Red force area...Zeras shuffled through the countless books as fast as he could trying to find which fit him best.

"You have 5 minutes left..." The AI voice echoed as Zeras slowly came to a stop with disappointment on his face.

The majority of the techniques here were at the common level.

He only found one which was at the pseudo-rare level and it didn't even fit him as it requires a place with a volcano to increase its effects.

The manual here was for complete newbies just starting on their Cultivation journey and the highest price here was 100 points.

Although there were pretty good techniques, he wasn't satisfied with it.

Zeras was about to resort to fate and chose one of the pseudo-rare level techniques when suddenly his eyes narrowed as he looked at the door in the distance.

He moved towards the door with curiosity as the AI voice also rang out:

"2 minutes left..."

Zeras ignored that as he looked at the door which had the picture of a gigantic humanoid creature with different spikes emerging from its back while a dark gas oozed out of its eyes.

Zera's eyes narrowed as he felt an unbelievable connection to the creature as if they were related in some way he couldn't understand.

His eyes stared into the creature's dark eyes, not moving away when suddenly a beam of light shot off its eyes as it shone on the golden badge on his chest.

"Scanning cadet's badges..."

"Badges scanned..."

"First on New cadets rankings discovered..."

"Your Authority has been increased to level 2 for ranking first on the New Cadets rankings."

"You can now access the second level of the Archive and other perks that come with having your authority increased to level 2."

Zeras stood there numbed as he slowly pressed his hands on the door and with a rumbling sound. The door slowly opened.

In front of him was a gigantic white hall with thousands of books floating around him in the air.

"First-year cadet, Zeras Celestria has been identified."

"Welcome to the Second level of the Archive Mana manual hall."

"You have 30 minutes to choose a Mana manual hall.

Zeras couldn't believe it as he unknowingly gained access to the Second Archive level.

A wild grin couldn't help but sneak its way towards his face as he moved towards the closest book to him. An unbelievable expression appeared on his face as he stared at the description.

//Ionized Mana Absorber: Increases Mana Absorption through the induction of Mana absorber which increases Mana concentration in the surroundings, bringing about the absorption of Mana at ten times normal speed.//

//Grade: Rare Grade//

//Points: 250 points.//

Zeras gazed at the book before him as he couldn't believe the shocking effectiveness. Increasing Mana Absorption by ten times. Most shocking of it all was the points required which was a whopping 250 points, one thing was sure, only the Second years should be able to access this level of technique.

Zera's heart pumped within him as he was tempted to choose this technique but he calmed down his heart as he dropped the book.

Perhaps there might even be more outstanding ones in the area.

"20 minutes more..."

Zeras immediately grew frantic as he rapidly searched through the books crazily.
