Library

The sun rose from the horizon smiling brightly, pouring down its resplendent light on the earth, trees gently swaying to the lyrics of the morning wind, and plants joyfully absorbing sunlight.

 This beautiful day brought anxiety into the heart of Lee as he walked out of his room, in the beautifully adorned house where the clan head his father resided.

 He raised his foot and walked towards the extremely popular building in the clan, on his way to the library he received several gazes and greetings filled with respect and awe, he was used to been stared at with such eyes, but know it became more intense with the scene he created yesterday.

After few moments, he finally arrived at the huge library, which was a sight to behold, standing at the entrance of the library were soldiers who stood like pillars and stared at everyone with their eagle piercing eyes.

"Greetings Young master!" on seeing Lee arrive the soldiers immediately gave a deep bow and made way for Lee to enter, he nodded his head towards them and immediately walked into the library.

 "Good morning Uncle Brown!" Lee said respectfully towards a middle-aged man with brown beards and eyebrows.

 

 "Hey, who else could it be, than my favourite cousin! " Uncle Brown said as he rubbed Lee's silky hair.

"Azure there you are!" Uncle Brown waved his hands towards the wolf cub which had suddenly popped it's head out of Lee's robe and slowly climbed to the lad's shoulder.

Uncle brown wasn't exactly his father's relation but someone who had been with his father for a long time, and had regarded the latter as an elder one, and so it was mandated for Lee to refer to him as 'Uncle'.

"I know what you are here for, your father had informed me, ohh, before I forget congratulations for yesterday's achievement"

"Thank you, Uncle Brown" Lee said with a grin on his face.

"Wait for the other two to arrive, only your father and I the librarian have access to those martial arts" 

 "Ok!" Lee gently nodded his head, and then began to pick his fingers, while Azure sat quietly on his shoulder.

Few moments later, two lads appeared gracefully into the library, everyone's attention was suddenly drawn towards them. One of them was a fair skinned callant with brownish-red hair and an average body with huge enthralling eyeballs, almost like that of an owl, but the appearance of the brownish-red haired boy compared to the arrogant looking lad beside him paled.

Arrogance like no other was deeply imprinted on his face, his eyes were so sharp that it gave one a feeling of inferiority, his face so smooth and straight that it almost felt impeccable, his skin glittering, that could make women sigh in jealousy.

"Brother Lee, I'm so happy to see you!" said the brownish- red haired lad, has he smiled widely at Lee, one would easily tell that he was in friendly terms with Lee.

"Same here brother Springdove" Chortled Lee, he had a favourable impression of the latter.

Lee after exchanging greetings with Springdove, couldn't help but stare at the other party who had arrived with him.

"Why are you staring at me, do you want some beating!" rudely spat Charles.

"Still your same arrogant self, can't you change"

"You are not qualified to lecture me"

 " Please spare me that rubbish!"

"Hmmph, Lee i see you have luckily  formed an average sword totem, but let me tell you this, though we might seem as equals here, but by the time we get to the sect of master Grindsea, that's when you would then know the difference between us is like heaven and earth"

 "All you know how to do is run your mouth, keep it up!" 

A mocking glint flashed across Lee's eyes, and didn't bother to say anything else, who had been infected by his Father; Elder Chu.

"Roar!" Azure as though it understood Charles, bared It's jaws towards the lad as though it was warning him.

Charles sneered, but didn't say anything else, he knew the strength of the seeming weak cub, and so didn't dare to act overbearing!

" Let's see how long, you can continue to hide under that's beast strength" muttered Charles arrogantly under his breath.

Lee chuckled but couldn't help but shake his head, just like his father, Charles was also ambitious, although he possessed the talent to be arrogant, even Lee acknowledged that fact, but for his arrogance and ambition he didn't like, and couldn't understand why the lad was so filled with jealousy, even at this Lee felt no hate or grudge against him, but he was always cautious around him and wouldn't hesitate to become a wild beast if the lad tried anything funny.

 " Cough! "

Uncle Brown sensing the tension in the air, immediately disrupted it, making him the center of attraction.

" Quit your childish grudge, and let's focus on what you are here for!"

"You have been informed about the tier three martial art we have, all of them are sword arts and you are only chanced to study it because you are all talented"

" I wouldn't waste much time, no weapons are allowed, I can see you are cleared, your Essence swords has been kept in your bodies"

( Essence Sword; divine weapon from the weapon merged with sword totem)

"Let's move!" Uncle Brown said has he waved his hands, signalling to Lee trio to follow him.

*********

After passing through several platforms filled with martial arts, large staircase, and several corners, they finally arrived in a small room where tiny orbs like fireflies floated around, but the most eye-catching were four black scrolls which were covered with a dense black glow that was extremely resplendent!

"Check them out, you can pick only one!"

They all nodded their heads and moved towards the four scrolls anxiously!
