Blank. The first page of the nameless body strengthening technique was blank. Xiao Feng tilted his head in confusion. He flipped a page but it was blank again. He flipped another page and it was another blank page. He continued flipping the pages and they continued being blank. All the pages of the nameless body strengthening technique were blank. He looked at Bai Su. “Why are all the pages of this body strengthening technique blank?”
“Blank?” Bai Su said confused. “That can’t be.” She took the nameless body strengthening technique from Xiao Feng’s hands and looked at it. Then, she looked at Xiao Feng and back at the body strengthening technique. She flipped a page, blinked her eyes, flipped another page and another and another and another. She continued flipping the pages of the nameless body strengthening technique until there were no pages left. She looked at Xiao Feng. “There is not a single blank page in this body strengthening technique, senior brother Xiao Feng.”
Xiao Feng tilted his head in confusion. He took the nameless body strengthening technique from Bai Su’s hands and looked at it. It was blank. He flipped a page and it was blank. He looked at Bai Su and showed her the blank page of the nameless body strengthening technique. “Look. It’s blank.”
Bai Su tilted her head in confusion. She looked at Xiao Feng and then at the nameless body strengthening technique. “??,” she said, but Xiao Feng couldn’t understand the word that has left her mouth. His pupils shape changed from the round human pupils to the thin distorted diamond dragon pupils and he felt extreme anger towards the nameless body strengthening technique which he held in his hands and the words that Bai Su said next, “????? ???????? ?? ??? ???? ????????????? ????????? ?? ???.” He tore the nameless body strengthening technique in many small pieces and threw them all to the ground before stomping on them with his left foot. His pupils shape changed from the thin distorted diamond dragon pupils to the round human pupils and the extreme anger he felt, dissipated.

“Ah?!” Bai Su shouted out. “What have you done, senior brother Xiao Feng?! You have destroyed the peerless sect’s A-rank body strengthening technique – ?????? ????? ?????? ????????????? ?????????!”
Xiao Feng’s pupils once again changed from the round human pupils to the thin distorted diamond dragon pupils and he once again felt extreme anger. But this time, it was not directed at the destroyed nameless body strengthening technique lying below his left foot but at Bai Su who was looking at him with a terrified expression on her face as she saw his thin distorted diamond-shaped pupils of a dragon. “It is called the divine black dragon emperor body strengthening technique!” he shouted out. “And no one is allowed to practice it but the possessors of the divine black dragon emperor bloodline!”
“What is going on here?” an old man’s voice sounded behind Xiao Feng and both he and Bai Su looked towards it. They saw the core disciple library’s librarian walking towards them. He stopped in front of them but didn’t say anything as he saw Xiao Feng’s thin distorted diamond-shaped pupils of a dragon and got terrified by them.
“Who was the one that put the divine black dragon emperor body strengthening technique here?” Xiao Feng said.
The core disciple library’s librarian hastily shook his head. “I don’t know.”
Xiao Feng looked at Bai Su. “And do you know?”
Bai Su shook her head hastily as well. “I don’t know either.”
“I see,” Xiao Feng said. He looked at the core disciple library’s librarian. “You are not needed here. Leave.”
“Yes. Yes. I'll leave right away,” the core disciple library’s librarian hastily said while nodding his head. Then, he left.
Xiao Feng looked at Bai Su. “I don’t need a body strengthening technique. Take me to the movement techniques,” he said and his pupils changed back to the round pupils of a human. His anger dissipated.

Bai Su’s usual expression returned to her face. “Yes, senior brother Xiao Feng,” she said led Xiao Feng to the bookshelf of movement techniques. “On the left side there and in the middle here, are the movement techniques of a B-rank. And on the right side there, are the movement techniques of an A-rank. Please go ahead and choose, senior brother Xiao Feng”
Xiao Feng approached the right side of the bookshelf and looked at the movement techniques placed in it. There were only two of them. He took the first one, dusted off its cover and read its name in his head, “The movement of a crane empress.” He took the second one, dusted off its cover and read its name in his head, “The movement of a wolf emperor.” He opened it and seeing that it was not blank looked at Bai Su and said, “I will take this movement technique. The movement of a wolf emperor. Take me to the barehanded skills.”
Bai Su nodded her head. “A very good choice, senior brother Xiao Feng. Please follow me.”
Xiao Feng followed Bai Su to the bookshelf of the barehanded skills.
“On the left side there and in the middle here, are the barehanded skills of B-rank. Like with the body strengthening techniques and movement techniques, there is quite a lot of them as you can see. On the right side there, are the barehanded skills of an A-rank. But sadly like with the body strengthening techniques and movement techniques, there is only a few of them. Please go ahead and choose, senior brother Xiao Feng”
Xiao Feng approached the right side of the bookshelf and looked at the barehanded skills placed in it. There were four of them. He took the first one, dusted off its cover and read its name in his head, “The palm of the white tiger.” He took the second one, dusted off its cover and read its name in his head, “The whirling dragon punch.” He took the third one, dusted off its cover and read its name in his head, “The wolf’s penetrating fang.” He took the fourth one, dusted off its cover and read its name in his head, “The monkey god’s destructive punch.”

Force-transfer procedure has been cancelled. Foreign matter detected.” Those were the last words uttered by the life-support system monitoring Subject 513’s vitals, as it shut down indefinitely. As 513’s consciousness faded into the void, his physical presence left on Earth crumbled to dust, blanketing the floor of the transfer pod he was stored within, in grey ash... ...when he awoke, the last few years of his life had seemingly been plucked-away from his memories. And to make matters worse, he found himself trapped under the gaze of a ravenous beast, ready to tear him apart... Join Subject 513 on his grueling journey of struggle, misery, and search for purpose, as he navigates through an unfamiliar world alone.

8 462Currant Choir
Having passed out while performing a ritual due to excessive exsanguination, Leon, the youthful son of the esteemed Lumenhart family finds himself back in the world of the living:Laying in a pool of his own blood.Self-inflicted wounds mysteriously gone.And with his head full of memories that aren't exactly his... or are they? "Oh boy." Warning! - There is likely not enough tags I can put up for this novel so please take this frontal warning instead. I can promise you a great deal of horror, gore, chaos and pure edge, but also everything on the opposite site of the spectrum from side characters. To be blunt, the MC is not a good person, so unless you're interested in such a thing, I'd strongly advise you to not read Currant Choir.
