"Lin Hao. His name is Lin Hao. He was the one who bought the Earth Rank martial arts skill and you are already one day late here because it was yesterday when he bought it." That young lady told him with a foxy smile at her face.
"Lin Hao?" Ye Xiao repeated this name and thought, "Who exactly is this Lin Hao? I have already heard his name many times. He is also a renowned genius of the Azure Dragon Country. Even the emperor himself praised him. He also bought the only Earth Rank martial arts skill present here in the Treasure Pavilion."
"Not only his cultivation is extremely high at the Ninth Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm. He also now possess an Earth Rank martial arts skill. Looks like it will be extremely difficult to fight him and win in the competition."
"Umh!, sir, now that we, Treasure Pavilion, does not possess any Earth Rank martial arts skill, are you still going to buy any other martial arts skill from here." That young lady mockingly said and mainly focused on the word 'Earth Rank martial arts skill'.
"Ah! yes. I'll choose from the High Grade Profound Rank martial arts skills present here." Ye Xiao was snapped out from his wonderland where his thinking was wandering.
What Ye Xiao said, his words stuck that young lady again.
"Humph!, acting arrogant. Let's wait and see how much longer you can act tough here. When you will be unable to pay for the martial arts skill and make a joke out of yourself then I'll see how can you act this arrogant again." That young lady thought.
Ye Xiao walked toward the middle rows of shelves and began to look at all types of High Grade Profound Rank martial arts skill one by one. Here, rows of shelves were very small and each row of shelve had at most twenty to thirty martial arts skill and cultivation techniques.

Middle row of shelve had only fifteen High Grade Profound Rank martial arts skills. It sounds like it is very few in count but in reality only the five great sects and the Imperial Family has the capability to possess this much martial arts skills at once.
Lightning Flash Steps: A lightning type movement skill that specializes in instantaneous burst of speed.
10,000 gold coins.
Raging Flame Fist - A flame attribute martial arts skill that uses flame to fight. Suitable for fire attributed body.
12,000 gold coins.
Angry Dragon Fist - A fist type technique which can deal a very high damage if used to fight. It compresses one's strength all at one point and while attacking, it will release an incredible amount of power.
15,000 gold coins.
...
...
Ye Xiao flipped through all the martial arts technique present here and finally chooses one skill called Sacred Finger Art.
Sacred Finger Art was a damaged martial arts skill. In the complete technique, it has a total of three moves but since this technique was a damaged technique it only has one complete move explained here. But even so, it was graded as a High Grade Profound Rank martial arts skill.
Its first move condensed the spirit energy into one point on the top of the index finger and it had a strong penetrating power and could blast through strong stones and walls with just a casual finger.
It's other two moves was not explained here and it will depend on his luck if he would be able to find the complete skill or not.
He took the Sacred Finger Art martial arts skill and said to the young lady standing a small distance away who was looking at him, "I'll take this martial arts skill."
She took the Sacred Finger Art from him and looked at it.

Sacred Finger Arts?
"Are you sure you want this skill. Even though it is a High Grade Profound Rank skill but it is damaged and its two moves are lost. Its price is also very high at 13,500 gold coins." She frowned at told Ye Xiao.
"Yes, I am sure. I'll buy this Sacred Finger Art." Ye Xiao nodded his head and confirmed her.
"Ok, please pay 13,500 gold coins and this martial art skill will be yours." She curled up her lips and began to wait for Ye Xiao to make a fool of himself.
Ye Xiao waved his hand in air and 13,500 gold coins appear there. He then gave the gold coins to the young lady and took the Sacred Finger Art from her hands and said only two words, "Thank you."
Thank You?
That young lady looked at gold coins in her hand and then looked at Ye Xiao walking away.
Ye Xiao returned to his room in the inn after purchasing the Sacred Finger Art. Now, only one day was left before the beginning of the competition and he has to comprehend the first move of the Sacred Finger Art which is the only move left in this art in one day time.
After returning he ordered his food and after eating he again walked out toward the direction of a forest.
It was known as the Cloudsmoke Forest. It is said that when one goes certain distance deeper in this forest, he or she will encounter with a large amount of smoke like fog. That is why this forest is named as Cloudsmoke Forest. There is also a saying that if one goes even deeper than the distance where one will encounter with these smoke like fog, there is a high probability of seventy percent that he or she will not be able to return ever.
Ye Xiao was thinking of practicing the first move of the Sacred Finger Art here in the vicinity of the Cloudsmoke Forest and try to comprehend its essence as soon as possible so that he can perform well in the competition and get the recognition of higher ups of the five great sects present there.

Against this backdrop upon the central island of Syroneika exists the Mercan League, an alliance of city states ruled by the Archon from his seat in the Capital, Merlabria. Yet all is not well beneath the surface. The Archon’s health is waning, while the House of Mercan appears on the verge of conflict. Both princes vie for the Archonship, with the aristocracy close behind looking to settle old scores.

A World Forgotten
***This story will contain lite-litrpg elements, mainly character pages and a town page. There will also be settlement building and adventuring, missteps and achievements. But one thing it definitely won’t have is a harem. Nor will it have an overpowered MC. Contains mild cursing.*** ***feel free to critique my writing and offer input. This is my first venture into writing. I've always enjoyed litrpg/gamelit books. I feel like I write how I talk, so it may be a little different. You won't hurt my feelings if you see something wrong or out of place! *** ***What follows is a condensed part of chapter 1. Enjoy!*** Drew Cooper is thrust into a new, unfamiliar world. Waking up in his sweats and t-shirt near what seems to be a forgotten path through some woods, he struggles coming to terms that he's no longer in his apartment. As he tries to cope with his new reality, he hears a horse coming down the path. He hides behind a nearby tree dreading what may happen next. As the horse approaches, he sees a man walking next to it. The horse is burdened with packs and gear. When the man nears, Drew nearly panics. He has a large sword strapped to his waist, obviously a fighter. He continues to hide as the man slowly passes only for the man to stop a dozen meters past his hiding spot. "You may as well come out, ya know. You weren't as well hidden as you thought," the man stated matter-of-factly, letting the horse’s reins go and putting his hand on the hilt of his sword. Slowly and scared for his life, Drew raised up and walked from behind the tree. "I-I'm sorry. I wasn't planning on attacking you. I-I don't know where I am. I heard your horse and hid. I didn't know what you'd do if you saw me. I'm sorry," he nervously blurted out. A minute passed. Then two. The man seemed interested with Drew and stepped closer, eyes squinting as if trying to see something. "What's that on your shirt? Is that. What is that? Is that, Pac-man?" The man was visibly shaken while pointing at me. Looking down at his t-shirt nervously, "Yea. Yea. I woke up here a few hours ago I think. 3 maybe 4 hours. I’ve just been sitting here. Where am I? What's going on?" Drew asked. "That's not important right now," the man replied. " What's important is where you're from. What year is it?" "What year? April something 2020. Why? What's going on?" Drew continued now worried. The man was taken aback. After a few moments, he seemed to calm himself some. The man sighed and looked at Drew in earnest. "Well, I've got good news and bad news for ya. Bad news is you're not on Earth anymore. Good news is you happened to run into me and not someone else. You’re either really lucky, or it’s fate we met in these woods, and I don’t believe in luck." The man continued to walk towards Drew while talking and put out his hand. "I'm John Mitchell from St. Louis or thereabouts. You’ve got nothing to be scared of by me. Walk with me and let’s talk."
