Zheng-Fu knew well that there was no Temple or Monastery in Xianxia world that was named 'Shaolin'. So, this place should be somewhere else.

"Everyone! Get ready!"

All of a sudden, a Shaolin monk with a necklace of sacred beads shouted for the monks to get ready for martial arts practice. He walked to the courtyard and stopped at the platform in front of the rest of the other monks. The order from that monk prompted the rest of the monks to get ready…

"Begin!"

"Yah!"

"Hah!"

All the monks started to move. They all moved in the same direction at the same time while making a practicing sound without missing the rhythm. They moved exactly the same ways at the same time in every single step. The whole thing made a fantastic and impressive picture. They were like a military troop that was preparing to be ready for a war…

The moves that these Shaolin monks were practicing looked firm and steady. Everyone put their firm feet on the ground right after every time they lifted them. Zheng-Fu could feel the power of strong determination from those moves…

"Wait! These are the moves that belong to the Shaolin Monastery!" Zheng-Fu exclaimed while feeling amazed…

"That's it!"

All of a sudden, Zheng-Fu knew the place that he was at. It was one of the places he had seen in a movie. It was a scene of Shaolin Monastery's courtyard for martial arts practicing…

Zheng-Fu started to move along with those Shaolin monks. He continued to do it one move after another move. The moves were seriously firm and sturdy…

Night after night, Zheng-Fu was still stuck in that place. He could not leave there. He tried to walk around to see the monastery but saw no exit. Every time he tried to walk out of the monastery, he was brought back to the same courtyard…

He tried to exit the place so many times, but the results were the same. Zheng-Fu decided to quit thinking and focus on practicing the routines that those monks did instead. He did not feel hungry or sleepy within that dimension…

"How long have I been in this place? And where is my body in the Xianxia world? Am I dead? Zheng-Fu rested while thinking about his physical body. He did not know if he defeated that man in black armor. He was extremely worried about the others…

Zheng-Fu thought about his parents and the rest of his clan. He also worried about Tong-Kuang and the team. The last person that popped up in his mind was the young woman that he recently rescued. The idea of her got him back to the determined state of mind instantly…

Whoosh!

"These moves from Shaolin monks strengthen the lower part of the body well. The whole set of moves also boosts overall body strength and energy. If I continue to practice these moves, I might be able to get to the next level." Zheng-Fu said while smiling…

Zheng-Fu realized that it would be better if he spent time in this dimension practicing Shaolin's moves. After all, he was unable to get out of there. Zheng-Fu started to wonder about the Monastery's Tower of the Fighting Manuals. He would like to have a look at the manuals there…

Contradictory thoughts always popped up because he was unable to touch anything in this dimension. It was too bad that he could not touch them. He spent many days contemplating the issue. Finally, he decided that he would like to get into the tower anyway…

After the morning practice, Zheng-Fu rushed to the Tower of the Fighting Manuals instantly. It was the best time of the day to go there because many people would go there and read the manuals. He came up with the idea that he could read the manuals when the Shaolin monks read them. It was the time that many people went to the building.

He would use the opportunity to read the manuals when people opened them.

"Well, Shaolin Monastery originated many branches of fighting techniques. So, there must be excellent fighting techniques that I could learn!"

Zheng-Fu said while smiling lightly. He thought that being in the Xianxia world might not give him a lot of chances to learn new fighting techniques. If he wanted to practice the new ones, he had to go out of the clan. Either that or joining the big clans…

Clomp! Clomp! Clomp!

A lot of Shaolin monks started to come to the Tower of the Fighting Manuals after the morning practice. Zheng-Fu started to notice that the days went by like he was living a normal life. Things did not repeat themselves in this illusion…

He had been thinking about this notion several times. If this was a part of his memory, things that happened here should repeat themselves and go on that way. These illusions did not repeat themselves…

Everything happened differently each day. Time went onward as if he were living in the real world. Zheng-Fu thought that it was great this way because he got to practice new things every day…

Shaolin Monk 1: "Did you know that Master Shi-Tai announced that he would take in anyone who could succeed the second level of the Golden Bell technique…"

Shaolin Monk 2: "For real? Master Shi-Tai, the one who possesses the strongest power of defensive skills?"

Shaolin Monk 1: "That's right. They say that his Golden Bell technique could block all kinds of weapons!"

Shaolin Monk 3: "Yeah. I heard that it's not only all kinds of weapons but fire too."

"The Golden Bell technique!?"

Zheng-Fu was delighted when he heard of the Golden Bell technique. He had been interested in this technique since he was in the previous world. From what he read about it, anyone who was eligible to practice the skill must have the body strength that could withstand all kinds of clashes…

And to have that kind of body strength, the person must dedicate himself to building every part of the body. When the person had that strength, he would be able to create an energy shield to protect himself. The higher the level of the skill, the more difficult the practice…

"The Golden Bell technique?" Ever since Zheng-Fu came to this dimension, he had not seen anyone performing the skills with Qi energy or supernatural energy. Shaolin monks only practiced strengthening their bodies…

Hearing about the Golden Bell technique made Zheng-Fu excited. He had been wanting to know for a long time whether the technique in this dimension was the same thing he saw in the movies…

Squeak!

All of a sudden, an elderly Shaolin monk came out of the Tower of the Fighting Manuals. He looked at everyone in front of the tower with a merciful and warm eye…

"Respecting the Master of the Tower of Fighting Manuals!"

Everyone altogether cupped their fists to pay respect to the Master of the Tower…

The Master of Tower of Fighting Manuals: "Amida Buddha! You have three shichens in the tower, so use the time wisely…"

"Yes, sir!"

After the Master of the Tower finished the sentence, all of the Shaolin monks who were waiting in front of the tower rushed inside with excitement and joy…

Zheng-Fu had come to the Tower of Fighting Manuals several times and noticed that the tower would open for three shichens per day. Everyone had to leave after three shichens…

"Well, I'd better get in too!" When Zheng-Fu finished the sentence, he followed the others inside immediately…

Boom!

All of a sudden, a pressuring energy wave was projected from the Master who oversaw the tower instantly. The wave exploded in front of Zheng-Fu, so he had to step back right away with surprise…

"Who's there!? Expose yourself!"

The attack stopped everyone. They turned to look at where the explosion occurred with shock. Then everyone looked around, but saw nothing strange there…

Zheng-Fu was startled to hear the question. The attack also caught him off guard. He looked at the Master of the Tower with curiosity…

"Does he see me? No way! It's impossible. If he could see me, he would have known me because I've been to this place several times. He doesn't seem to be aware of my existence." Zheng-Fu scratched his head with confusion…

A Shaolin monk: "What's wrong Master? Who are you talking to? We don't see anyone but us…"

The Master of the Tower was also confused. He could detect a different kind of energy. That was why he projected the attack, but there was nothing that happened…

The Master of the Tower: "Nothing! You guys just go study…"

The Master of the Tower said while making a determined face. He started to look around with wonder because his senses never failed him…

The Master of the Tower: "But I did feel something there…"

After finishing mumbling, the Master went inside the tower instantaneously. Zheng-Fu, on the other hand, stood outside stunned. He did not know why that happened. He wondered why all of a sudden, the tower Master could sense his existence. After all those times that he had been at the tower, the Master did not notice him at all…

So, Zheng-Fu did not enter the tower in the end. He just walked away and started to contemplate. He did not know exactly where the place was. It was like he was in the real world that seemed to be unreal…

"Is this place real? Or is it just an illusion!?"

Zheng-Fu got back to where he was very confused. He looked around and walked up to one of the Shaolin monks who was sweeping the courtyard. Zheng-Fu then tried to grab him, but he could not. He could only grab air…

Brr!

The Shaolin monk: "How come I got cold on my back all of a sudden even though the weather is very hot? Am I getting a cold!?"

The Shaolin monk cried out with amazement because he could feel some kind of energy around him. He did not see anyone nearby. There was no strong wind either. So, he thought that he might catch a cold…

Zheng-Fu who was right next to the monk was bedazzled. This was the first time that he could feel a person there. No one felt him when they walked through him earlier. But it was different today…

The day passed by very quickly. Zheng-Fu remained sitting in front of the Tower of Fighting Manuals since the day before. He had been sitting there thinking and contemplating what happened in detail about yesterday. He wondered what he should do next…

The more he spent the time in the dimension, the stranger things got. In the end, Zheng-Fu decided to go see the Master of the Tower, since the Master could sense him…

Clomp! Clomp! Clomp!

Zheng-Fu then went straight to the Tower of Fighting Manuals instantly. When he got there, he felt that same energy wave coming towards him again. This time he did not plan to dodge. The wave was coming nearer and nearer…

"So, let's see if the whole thing is real," Zheng-Fu said while standing unmoved and staring at that energy wave that was coming towards him…
