Zero To Hero In The Martial Arts Library Novel - Chapter 35

“If you’re in charge, your salary will be 5,000 yuan a month, and you’ll have to work two more days a month. Including the previous manager on the third floor and the three new managers, there will be a total of four managers. The four of you will take turns to work on the weekends.”

The head of the personnel department, Yang Zhengyi, arranged jobs for them.

After receiving the new work permit, everyone was ready to return to their respective posts, but Yang Zhengyi stopped Ye Xiao.

“Ye Xiao, wait a moment.”

Ye Xiao stopped, and Ms. Wang and the rest took their leave first.

Supervisor Yang smiled and said,

“Ye Xiao, last time, your colleagues next door were all transferred away, causing you to suffer and manage two large areas by yourself. This time, when the newcomers came in, I gave you just one to ease your pressure a little.”

Ye Xiao nodded.

“Thank you, sir.”

“You’re welcome. You did the best in our library. Your area is the cleanest, and your books are also the best organized. Continue the good work. I have high hopes for you.”

Ye Xiao nodded again and left the personnel department shortly after.

When he arrived at his area, he discovered that there was already a kid wearing jeans sitting on a chair. When he saw that Ye Xiao had arrived, he immediately stood up.

“You… Hello, Mr. Ye. I’m… I’m Ning Yuhen, the new manager. Please take care of me.”

Ye Xiao responded with a light hum.

“Sit. There’s no need to be nervous.”

“Oh, okay.”

Ning Yuhen sat back on the chair. His skin looked very soft, even more so than the skin of many girls.

He did not know if it was because he was a little shy, but his face was a little rosy.

Ye Xiao swept a glance and did not continue staring.

However, Ye Xiao’s Big Dipper’s Grand Mystery had already seen him from the inside out, 360 degrees.

That kid was actually a Houtian fifth-grade martial artist.

According to the age of his bones, he should be around 18 years old.

With that cultivation, to be able to advance to Houtian fifth grade was not ordinary.

A natural-born genius!

Such a genius did not continue to be nurtured in the academy or sent to the front line. Instead, he actually came to this library to be a small administrator.

Interesting.

He coughed lightly and said indifferently,

“The job of an administrator is very simple. Every day, you clock in and out of work on time. You are responsible for arranging the books and reporting the damaged ones in time. You will also clean up the place before you leave work in the afternoon. During other times, you can read and do your own things.

“However, don’t make any noise. The library requires silence.”

“Yes!”

“You just arrived today. Take an inventory of what books are there and where they are placed. Familiarize yourself with them so that you know where they are in case someone borrows them in the future.”

“Yes!”

Ning Yuhen replied and immediately began to take stock of the books.

Ye Xiao continued to sit down and read.

Previously, he only managed two areas.

Those were the areas for himself and the colleagues who had left their jobs next door.

After becoming a manager, Ye Xiao could be in charge of two or four more areas.

He could read more books.

That made Ye Xiao feel much better than the rise in his salary.

There were many types of cultivation techniques that had yet to be completed in the Golden Book.

Movement techniques, body-refining techniques, strike techniques, palm techniques, forging techniques, star arrays, alchemy… There were countless of them.

He still had a lot to learn and cultivate.

After reading for less than a few minutes, Ye Xiao could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

Something strange had entered his perceiving range.

It was a spirit body. Just like the evil spirit that he had killed previously, it was the soul of a person after death.

However, the aura on that spirit body was not quite right.

That was an aura similar to that of a star beast.

Was it the spirit body of a tiger demon?

If one entered with a spirit body, it would be very difficult for anyone other than a grandmaster or an exorcist who cultivated a spiritual cultivation technique to discover its existence.

In fact, the level of that tiger demon was very high. Even an exorcist who practiced a spiritual technique would not be able to easily discover that tiger demon if their cultivation was not high enough.

Unfortunately, it could escape the detection of others, but it could not escape Ye Xiao’s.

After the spiritual techniques were synthesized into the Big Dipper’s Grand Mystery, Ye Xiao could be said to have dual senses of spiritual energy and aura.

Moreover, it was the type of technique with superb perception.

Even if they were of the same level or higher, they might not be able to compare to his perception.

To put it bluntly, that spirit body should not be there. He did not need to discern the model, shape, and frequency of the vibrations to know.

Even if he stood half a mile away, he would still be able to see everything clearly.

However, Ye Xiao did not say anything and continued to read silently.

He wanted to see what that evil spirit wanted to do when it came to the library.

…

Soon, a colorless and shapeless evil spirit slowly floated in from the window on the third floor of the library.

He had his hands behind his back and the spiritual energy around him formed a black robe. It looked eerie, terrifying, and mysterious.

‘Is this the library of Jianghai city? The defenses are only so-so. In the face of my main body, it’s completely useless. It’s not even worth mentioning!’

He floated into the library and his body hovered in midair. He glanced at the crowd. Amidst the ghostly aura, a pair of dark green flames were dancing.

Those were his eyes.

‘The map left behind by King El should be on the top floor of the library of Jianghai city.

‘There is a star array on the top floor that specifically targets spiritual bodies. If I want to get the map, I should attach myself to a figure.

‘Whose body should I attach myself to?’

The throbbing dark green flames swept across the people one by one, and the first one his gaze landed on was Ye Xiao’s body.

‘This kid… Is a manager. But… His cultivation is trash, only Houtian second grade. With this cultivation, he can’t even pass through the electromagnetic gravity barrier on the top floor.

‘Trash!’

Shaking his head, he looked at the next target.

‘Houtian third grade, but she’s already old. Her spiritual energy and strength have been lost, and her bones are brittle. It’s difficult for her to take on such a heavy responsibility.’

…

‘Houtian third grade and she has a disease. Hmph, how dirty! If I were to attach myself to such a woman, wouldn’t it pollute my spirit body?’

…

‘Eh… This kid isn’t bad! He’s already Houtian fifth grade at such a young age. It’s decided, I’ll choose you!’

The dark green flames flickered, and the tiger demon’s spirit moved closer to Ning Yuhen to possess his body.

Ning Yuhen, who was taking inventory of the books, suddenly trembled, and all the hair on his body stood on end.

He could not see the evil spirit, but the aura of death, which was detected by the sixth sense of a living being, made his body instinctively tremble.

However, just as despair swallowed his heart, the feeling of death instantly vanished.

After a long while, he finally woke up. Only then did he realize that the clothes on his body were drenched in sweat.

He even nearly peed his pants.

He looked into the distance. Ye Xiao was still leaning on the table reading. There was nothing around him..
