Global Superpower: Getting Stronger through Reading - Chapter 32

Chapter 32: Opening

However… How could someone of that level be willing to give such a precious gift to a kid?!

Furthermore… Based on his tone, he was obviously based towards this young man.

Apollo looked at Lin Bai with a complicated gaze.

After obtaining the Demon Blade Kakura and the Nine-Colored Yanluo Seal, Lin Bai successfully avoided Apollo’s obstruction under the protection of Old Bai and left the room of forbidden books.

After returning to his dorm in Sorcha College, the first thing Lin Bai did was take out the magic book and start studying it page by page.

His “Reader” skill was naturally activated. The knowledge in the book slowly flowed into Lin Bai’s mind like water and was slowly internalized by him.

However, after only reading a few pages, Lin Bai actually felt a little dizzy.

This was something that had never happened before!

“It’s probably because I’ve experienced too many things today.” Lin Bai thought about it and came up with this reason.

Lin Bai shook his head to clear his mind before continuing to read.

There were some detailed records covering the first to the ninth seal of the Nine-Colored Yanluo Seal in the book. Lin Bai eagerly flipped through the book as the information entered his mind bit by bit.

“I’m at the fifth seal…” Lin Bai murmured.

It was already halfway through the night, and Lin Bai had already read up to the fourth seal. If he continued to read at this speed, he only needed to stay up all night to completely master this spell!

However, just as he finished reading about the fifth seal, Lin Bai suddenly felt dizzy. Then, he fell onto the bed, unconscious.

When he woke up, it was already morning.

After getting up, Lin Bai hurriedly sensed his lower body. Then, he attempted to form the seals.

Without much effort, the first five seals of the Nine-Colored Yanluo Seal were summoned by Lin Bai.

The pressure in the room suddenly increased. Even Lin Bai felt an ominous sense of fear.

“This is the Nine-Colored Yanluo Seal…” Lin Bai happily murmured to himself.

This was still the incomplete form of this spell. If there really came a day when all nine seals were manifested, its power would be unimaginable!

But… Why did he suddenly faint yesterday?

Lin Bai was deep in thought.

“Could it be that… This spell is too complicated and has exceeded the tolerance of my Reader skill?”

This was the only reasonable explanation that Lin Bai could think of.

In other words… His Reader skills were still limited at this stage.

Some spells that were too powerful were difficult to learn if they exceeded the tolerance of his Reader skill.

“But, how do I increase my Reader abilities?” As Lin Bai pondered, he suddenly thought of “Merlin’s Autobiography”.

Merin, the great and unprecedented Mage, was also a Reader!

His autobiography definitely contained a lot of useful information related to Readers.

Lin Bai immediately rushed into the Sorcha College library and found “Merlin’s Autobiography” in the same place.

Lin Bai began to carefully read “Merlin’s Autobiography” as he sat cross-legged on the floor of the library.

Soon, he found the answer he needed.

“The innate skills of the Reader Class will continue to grow with the strength of the Hunter. The higher the rank of the Hunter, the stronger their learning abilities will be.”

“If a Reader reads a skill that exceeds their learning ability, the Hunter will faint because they can’t withstand the pressure. In serious cases, he will die. Remember this!”

Lin Bai gulped. He could not help but secretly rejoice.

Fortunately, the Nine-Colored Yanluo Seal was not too powerful… Otherwise, he would have died without knowing why.

“Looks like I need to think of a way to raise my Hunter rank.” Lin Bai muttered to himself, suddenly realizing the importance of the Hunter rank.

However, for the upcoming Arena Match, the first five seals of the Nine-Colored Yanluo Seals should be enough.

…

Time flew.

Soon, it was the end of the month, and the annual Arena Match began as scheduled.

The square was bustling with noise. On the central platform sat the professors and elders of Sorcha College.

Charlotte, Garth, Cage, and a group of other professors were sitting on the platform, waiting for the opening of the magic event.

“Charlotte, do you think there’s anything to look forward to in this Arena Match?” Garth asked.

Charlotte stroked her chin and pondered for a while. Then, she said, “The first and second place in the magic department seemed to have been matched against each other in the lottery before the match.”

“Han Bin and Locke, huh? That’s really a fierce battle.” When Garth heard this news, he couldn’t help but look forward to it.

“Right, there’s also Lin Bai. I’d like to see his performance.” Cage interjected.

“Lin Bai? The one who followed Su Ya and almost became the laughing stock of the entire college?” Garth asked.

Cage nodded, but he begged to differ.

After all, the scene of Lin Bai taking out the Spirit Crystal of the Master of the Swamp was still vivid in Cage’s mind.

He had always felt that Lin Bai was not as simple as he had imagined.

Charlotte changed her posture and continued to sit. “I taught him a lesson too. That Lin Bai is always in a daze in class. I don’t know what he’s doing. Anyway, I don’t really think highly of his performance in the Arena Match.”

Cage smiled. “Let’s wait and see.”

…

In the square.

It was crowded.

The referee stood in the center of the arena and announced the matches in the first group.

“First group, Han Bin versus Locke!”

With this announcement, the square immediately became much noisier.

“It can’t be, right? Are the first and second place students in the magic course fighting each other immediately?”

“Han Bin should still be number one in the magic course.”

“I also feel that Han Bin’s victory over Locke should not be too surprising.”

“…”

The audience was talking at once. However, before they could say much, Han Bin had already finished his battle.

Before Locke could react, he was sent flying out of the boundary by Han Bin.

There was such a gap between the first and second place students.

“Han Bin wins!” The referee announced.

The elders and professors on stage couldn’t react either.

After a year of hard work, Han Bin was actually so far ahead of the second place student!

Below the stage, a group of girls heard about Han Bin’s victory and started screaming.

“Han Bin is as popular as ever,” said Cage with a smile.

The battles on the square were still going on nervously. As more and more people were thrown out of bounds, it was time for the thirteenth round of the Arena Match.

“The thirteenth match, Lin Bai versus Kristen!”

As soon as the two parties in this match were announced, the crowd below the arena started to discuss as well.

“Is Lin Bai one of the two students from Sorcha College who obtained a place as a Hunter after 30 years? He doesn’t look very impressive..”
