Celia was not only Troy"s daughter but also Fran"s first wife. Troy pa.s.sed on the ship to his student Fran before starting his wandering life and he also gave up Refining after Celia"s death.Thus, Fran Mourning Heart ship was his dearest treasure, Ben was totally clueless about Fran"s astonishing and unpredictable action. Ben never linked the bet he had with Fran much less guess that Herculean Muscle art has been willfully selected by Boris.
Though Ben was curious he wasn"t in a rush so decided to ask Fran after he returns from the Library.

Quinn was standing silently on the ship deck, he curious about the ship as it run on its own without any engine or sails in the ship it was truly mysterious but Quinn didn"t want to break the silent so he kept quiet.
All sometime they reach an island and surprising there was no fog around it, the whole island was clear. All of them were stunned seeing the structure in the island.
There was an enormous structure occupying the entire island, it was gigantic Grey Dome, as they nearer it they weren"t even able to see the curvature of the dome it was like a huge tortoise sh.e.l.l with various complex runes on it.
Once they reached the island they got down from the ship, the moment Fran took the ship the depressing mood vanished and everyone was stunned seeing the monstrous structure.
Fran led the frozen kids to the Dome; the island entrance was a colossal gateway. Quinn"s brain short circuited seeing the Dome and he look at Fran who was proudly walking towards the building.
They made their way through the gateway and the road let then to a transparent platform; similar to the one in the teleportation station it was a floating platform used for internal transportation of the island.
Fran got in it and called his students. After everyone got on he ordered the platform to take them to the Body Refining Art segment. The students all antic.i.p.ated the platform would take them to the dome instead it went around it. It maintained a steady distance from the Dome.
"We aren"t going to the Dome, it"s the primary Library of the school but to enter it you must have minimal Qi; since you guys haven"t begun cultivation you can"t enter it."All the students were extremely depressed, seeing their Fran decided to let out some info about the Library.
"Don"t worry you can enter it one day, it is after all Unigux"s largest and most complete library. Can anyone enter it easily? Did anyone one of you notice that there are no entrance for in the Dome till now?
Actually there are no gates or doors or entrance for the Dome. One can only enter the library by protecting the entire body with Qi, or else you will perish so do try anything stupid."
"So when you reach the stage when you can manifest your Qi outside and cover your entire body you will be eligible to enter this scared land. Let me tell you another interesting fact about the Dome library."
As the dome was very vast Fran tried to cheer up the kids by telling some interesting facts about the library. In fact he was guilty for damping their happiness by letting them ride Mourning Heart Ship.
"There are many inner domes inside this Dome Library they, it"s like a lotus there are layers formed between each dome, and you can access the next layer only if you have the required cultivation and Qi."
"No one knows the exact number of domes or layers inside the Dome Library. It is one the unsolvable mysteries of our school. So work hard and try to explore this Dome Library in the future," Fran"s intro about the Dome Library was really effective the kids quickly cheered up.
"Sir, How many layers have you reached?" A student asked as he was curious but Fran showed his unwillingness to answer with a small smile. After that they had a quiet journey but Fran had successful planted a seed inside the students.
[Boss, this library is the core of Pregandis Lake also numerous cultivators of Unigux would challenge the Dome for Fortuitous Encounters. It is actually a sort of public compet.i.tion held by your school.]
"How come they are generous enough to share a treasure with the entire world instead of swallowing such a meat pie?"
[Of course, they would share it, that is unless they don"t fear antagonizing entire Unigux against them. In fact, each of the top schools are squandering such places or treasure; so how much ever unwilling they are each school will open such places to public. Moreover, this rather became a custom so if they fail to provide something precious then their reputation would take a great hit.]
Quinn understood that everything boiled down to strength. Suppose their school had enough strength then it would obviously not share its treasure with others. He just nodded and followed Fran.
All the students were gazing at the Dome enviously and their eyes were burning with ambition. The floating platform reached the destination. It was a just an ordinary 2- story building.
This was Body refining Segment, although it didn"t have the size or vastness or mysteriousness of the Dome Library it still gave a dignified feeling. Fran went near the door and stopped, and then he turned around to the students bustling in excitement in front.
"This is the Body Refining Segment of the Library. Though it is outside the Dome library this is essentially a part of the Dome library. Thus all the rules of the Dome library apply to Body Refining Segment."
Fran paused to emphasis about the seriousness of the rule.
"Those who break the rules of the Dome Library will face severe punishments."
""Never ever make sound consciously or willfully." This is the only rule that is relevant for you as other rules involve usage of Qi. Better not make any excessive or unnecessary actions in the library."
"All the body refining arts arranged according to the alphabetical order, if you can"t find you art in the ground floor then you can go to the next floor. Once you take the art you chose it will automatically be bound to you.
Your imprint will be registered in it so you can"t change once you select the art. Thus, verify more than once before taking your art. Everyone can only take one art so exercise caution."
Fran gave the advice necessary for them, so he allowed them to enter the library. All the students were curious thus they all rushed into the library, but they all maintained absolute silent as Fran had frightened them earlier.
There was no one in the library to monitor the students, though strangely Quinn felt like someone was watching everyone from the moment they entered the library doorway.
Quinn was dumbfounded seeing the library, as it wasn"t a book library instead it was filled with rows of black board wherejade tokens. Quinn was expecting a vast library filled with old and rotten books, but he never fathomed he would enter a jewelry shop.
