Chapter 52: Doorman (Seeking Bookshelf and Recommendation!)

  This time I got up on time, exactly at 1 o'clock... no more talk, let's get going!

  Thinking and doing has always been Zong Yin's best habit. Taking advantage of the early time, with a good distance from nightfall, Zong Yin took the sealed technique manual to the library, looking for Lan Xin but couldn't find him. However, Old Man Fan gave him the privilege to access the top floor of the library, and it seemed that Old Man Fan must have known where Lan Xin was.

  When Zong Yin stepped onto the third floor of the library with a nervous heart, two Soul Masters wearing wolf head masks that covered their entire heads suddenly appeared behind him. Their eyes were cold and stern, almost killing Zong Yin for intruding on the third floor. However, when they saw the token on Zong Yin's finger, they stopped their actions and respectfully saluted him with a single-handed chest bow before disappearing as quietly as they had appeared.

  Until the two disappeared, Zong Yin suddenly realized that his back was already soaked with cold sweat. In that instant, he felt a chill run down his spine, an undisguised killing intent that made him lose the courage to resist. It seemed that this library, called Shu Dian by the school's higher-ups, was not as simple as imagined. The strength of those two people wearing wolf head masks just now was absolutely many times stronger than Hei Sen's, and Hei Sen definitely didn't have such a strong killing aura.

  He didn't go up to the next floor, Zong Yin always felt that someone was secretly watching him, until he walked up to the top floor, and then the gaze of being watched disappeared, just like when he first came up. Old Man Fan was alone, sitting in front of a large open window, slowly sipping tea, as if lost in thought, gazing into the distance.

  "Haven't you gone on vacation? Young people should go out and travel more. Being cooped up in this cage isn't a good thing."

  Fan Lao Ren slowly turned around when Zong Yin appeared, a warm smile spreading across his face as he greeted him.

  Zong Yin heard him say this, and instinctively wanted to ask out the doubts in his heart. Since he clearly knew it wasn't a good thing, why not abolish such a system? However, this thought only revolved in his mind for a moment before being driven away by him. What did it have to do with him? He was quite satisfied with his current life, and every day he could feel his strength growing rapidly. Before he reached the point where he could break free from the soul lock chain, he didn't want to leave at all.

  "I've already been out and encountered some things, then rushed back. I'm here looking for Lan Xin."

  Dispel the messy things in his mind, Zong Yin answered Pan Lao's question truthfully and directly to the point.

  "Oh? So you're back to find Lan Yu's head. That's right, the little girls outside can't compare to our Lan Yu's cleverness... Hehe, unfortunately, Lan Yu has locked herself in her own laboratory for over a month and doesn't know what she's doing."

  Fan Lao Ren's tone changed slightly as soon as he heard Zong Yin's words, and when Zong Yin's face started twitching, he quickly shifted the topic back, muttering with a strange expression.

  This time, Zong Yin was stunned. Originally, he thought that Lan Xin had rolled up his Sealing Technique Manual and run away with it. But after hearing Old Man Fan say this, it seemed that this little loli was still studying the things in the Sealing Technique Manual, and wasn't intentionally trying to cheat him.

  "Alright... go find her then, she lives at..."

  Old Man Fan suddenly glanced at Zong Yin, raised an eyebrow slightly, and a thoughtful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he told Zong Yin where Lan Xin lived.

  Watching Zong Yin leave, Old Fan delightedly picked up his tea cup and took a sip.

  "Lan Xin, this little girl is not young anymore, every day messing around with those strange things, if she can't get married, it's all over. Look at that boy, he's not bad either, let him go and persuade her, maybe they'll make a match. Oh ho ho, I'm really too wise for my age."

  A moment later, Zong Yin appeared at the door of Lan Xin's dormitory, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy. Everyone else had a background, but he only had a silhouette! Looking at where Lan Xin lived, then looking at his own place, damn it! His own dormitory was simply a slum!

  A completely independent European-style villa, with its own garden and a small pool with a living water source, countless flowers competing to bloom, and even rabbits can be seen jumping in the bushes. A parrot stands on the railing of the garden gate, vigilantly staring at Zong Yin as he approaches.

  "Warning! This is a private residence! The owner is very powerful! Trespassers are forbidden to approach! Otherwise, you will die in a terrible way!"

  When Zong Yin was only three steps away from the parrot, it suddenly spread its colorful wings and erected the crest on its head, loudly intimidating Zong Yin.

  Zong Yinhai was stunned on the spot, staring blankly at this guy for a long time without regaining his senses. The parrot learned to speak, he knew, but what this guy said and the way he looked at people, no matter how you look at it, it didn't seem like he was imitating!

  "Foolish human! Must you be so blunt with the great Diamond?! What I meant to say is, begone! You're ugly enough as it is, and yet you dare to pursue my master's household?! If I were you, I'd go back home and stare at a mirror until I died!"

  Jian Yonghui was already intimidated by his own "aura", and this parrot, who claimed to be a diamond, shouted even more triumphantly.

  "I'm going to wipe you out! You're also a time-traveler, right? With a body like yours, you're still a virgin! I'm ugly! According to human aesthetics, I'm already a freak! Just in time, I'm hungry, and I haven't eaten parrot meat yet..."

  Zong Yan flipped his eyes and felt that this guy was a cheap person from their era. He immediately started scolding him along with Jin Gang.

  His eyes suddenly turned somewhat evil, because his stomach started growling. In his two lifetimes combined, he had eaten quite a lot of things, but parrot meat was something he had never tried before. Who knows, maybe eating this demon-possessed parrot would increase his strength? He stretched out his right hand and pinched towards Jingang's neck.

  The golden pheasant's proud face suddenly changed color, its feathers standing on end as it let out a loud cry. Its red beak flashed with electricity as it pecked rapidly at Zong Yin's outstretched arm.

  Zong didn't expect this parrot, which seemed to only know how to talk, to be so ferocious. In an instant, a piece of flesh was pecked off the back of his hand. What's more, Jin Gang swallowed that piece of flesh with a satisfied expression on his face.

  "Old man is calling you again! Still dare to eat old man's meat! You've really become a demon!"

  This made Zong Yin truly angry, a meat-eating parrot? The abnormal is the strange, he also saw that this Kong was no longer an ordinary wild beast, but a variant of the soul beast. He immediately activated the return to the ancestors, and with five rocky fingers spread wide, he pinched Kong in his palm, and with a sigh of relief, he kneaded it back and forth.

  At this time, the old man Fan, who was sitting on the top floor of the library, leisurely drinking tea and still feeling wise about his decision, raised an eyebrow as if he had thought of something, and whispered: "Damn it, I forgot to tell that kid not to provoke that watchdog... Forget it, if he can't even pass the watchdog test, then wanting to pluck the Blue Lotus is also in vain..."

  "Chirp!"

  Suddenly, a terrifying eagle cry rose to the sky, and for the first time, the numb stone arm felt a wave of pain. With great difficulty, Zong Yin swallowed a mouthful of saliva and finally understood why this guy was called Jin Gang.

  The head was still that bird's head, only enlarged countless times. The red beak became larger and more sharp, the scarlet eyes as big as a baby's fist stared at Zong Yin tightly. Two blue stripes extended from its eye corners to its forelimbs. The white crest on its head stood upright due to extreme anger.

  It was just that, but his body had turned into a beast's body, with thick limbs and claws that shone with a cold light. Zong Yin didn't doubt it at all, if he was scratched by this thing, he would be disembowelled, a whip-like tail was fiercely lashing back and forth behind him. A pair of brown wings were constantly stirring up countless gusts of wind.

  "I'm going! Is this the legendary Griffin?! Damn it! It's a scam! No one told me the Griffin could transform!"

  With a body over two meters tall and a wingspan of more than six meters, Zong Yin made a decisive choice to strategically retreat. The ancestral soul technique pattern on his feet lit up brightly as he let out a mournful howl and charged into the distance.

  "Foolish humans! I'll let you know that provoking King Kong will not end well for you! The great King Kong has been fasting for too long!"

  Although Zong Yin had softened and was ready to flee, King Kong apparently did not intend to let him go. With four hooves in a row and two wings flapping, he slid through the air and landed steadily, blocking Zong Yin's path.

  "What the...! Isn't it just a vulture?! I'll fight you to the death! You want to eat me? See if your beak is hard enough!"

  Just thinking about being bullied by a beast, Zong Yin's heart was suffocating. This guy even wanted to eat him! At that moment, Zong Yin got furious! It was the first time he had been treated as food by another creature. Just thinking about being pulled out one day made his whole body feel uncomfortable. His petrified right arm swung with all its might and smashed towards King Kong's bird head.

  "The Great Diamond is invincible! Chirp!"

  Seeing Zong Yin not retreating but advancing instead, with a look of preparing to fight him to the death, King Kong's red eyes widened instantly, standing up and raising his front paws to slap towards Zong Yin's fist.

  "Stop!"
