Inside, the Pavilion smelled like old paper and incense. Rows upon rows of manuals lined the shelves, each carefully categorized.
Han Yu's eyes lit up.
This was what he needed.
Real techniques.
Real skills.
No more swinging a broom and hoping for the best.
He started browsing, heart pounding with excitement.
He couldn't afford high-tier manuals yet — those cost precious points he didn't have — but there were beginner-level techniques available for free or at a low cost.
After an hour of careful searching, he picked two manuals that were free for any disciple to take:
"Ironwood Stance" — a basic but solid defensive foundation technique.
"Falling Leaf Strike" — a simple but effective weapon art, which was quick to learn and was rather versatile, being able to be used with any weapon that was long enough.
This included Swords, Staffs, Spears, and more such weapons.
He signed them out with trembling hands and practically skipped back to his courtyard.
