”-you canʼt stop me. Got it?”

Listening to MayMayʼs declaration, Wyatt couldnʼt help but laugh aloud, though he knew it was too early to celebrate. After all, if MayMay were to study every way of kissing across the myriad realms, she would inevitably learn the meanings behind kisses and their variations. And once she uncovered all that ”dirt,” it would take a miracle for her not to see him as a filth.

Regardless of how she reacted to learning such details, Wyatt planned to feign ignorance and insist that in his hometown, a kiss simply symbolized friendship. He was confident that if he could make MayMay willingly walked into his trap, he could guide things to unfold as he intended, no matter her response. His only concern was avoiding a scenario where she became so disgusted by the idea of kissing that she could no longer bring herself to kiss anyone again. If that happened, he would have broken MayMay, he would have created the first Elder Pixie who rejected the act of kissing as a symbol of trust-a tragic and ironic achievement.

”Wyatt, chop-chop! Tell me what book you want so I can brush up on the ways of kissing across the myriad realms,” MayMay urged, treating him more like a close friend than a guest of the Infinity Library. After all, an Elder Pixieʼs word was her bond. She would follow through on her claim unless doing so was extreme or led to catastrophic consequences.

”Alright, alright! At least let me collect my thoughts first,” Wyatt replied, unable to suppress a grin as MayMayʼs enthusiasm for study infected him-especially given his recent success.

”Iʼd like all the books you have on the Demon Clam: Clampedo,” Wyatt began, pausing briefly before continuing, ”and all the original books on the acquirable physiques and traits mentioned in this list, along with books to learn their original languages.” He handed over the detailed list Park had prepared.

”You want all of them at once?” MayMay asked, scanning the extensive list with raised eyebrows. She couldnʼt fathom how Wyatt planned to read so many books simultaneously. While many demon and devil merchants demonstrated impressive speed-reading techniques, they typically needed to revisit the books multiple times to grasp the full depth of the authorʼs meaning. With each reading, the content often felt more profound.

”Yes, please,” Wyatt nodded gently.

”Give me a minute,” MayMay excused herself and began entering the titles from Wyattʼs list into the libraryʼs search array formation. Given how lengthy his request was, she had to rely on the array to fetch the books efficiently. Park had listed every acquirable physique and trait relevant to Coreyʼs situation without worrying about their requirements or complexity, trusting in Wyattʼs capability to manage them.

”Here you go.” With a snap of MayMayʼs fingers, a vast grassland formed within the forest beside Wyatt. Rows of bookshelves appeared, brimming with the requested volumes.

Pointing to the bookshelves, MayMay explained, ”All the books on Clampedo are over here, while the original books on the acquirable physiques and traits you mentioned- along with their accompanying language guides-are arranged in the same order as your list.”

”Thank you, MayMay. Youʼre the best,” Wyatt said, his eyes scanning the rows of bookshelves that nearly covered one entire side of the forest. He shook his head, knowing his primordial spirits and hive mind had their work cut out for them.

”Wyatt, do you need any spirit medicine to maintain your concentration or relieve mental exhaustion?” MayMay asked, quickly adding, ”Donʼt hold back-itʼs all on the house.”

”Alright, then. Get me a few hundred thousand of cach,” Wyatt replied as his spiritual body split into a thousand perfect clones before MayMay could even consider whether he was taking advantage of their friendship.

Seeing nearly a thousand identical and perfect copies of Wyatt, MayMay finally understood how he planned to study all those books simultaneously. With newfound enthusiasm, she equipped each of Wyattʼs clones with hundreds of pills for concentration, mental exhaustion, and other needs. Once everyone was set and ready for their reading marathon, MayMay bid her farewell.

”Wyatt, Iʼll take my leave now. If you need me, just call my name three times aloud or use your demon codex-whichever is convenient for you. Happy reading!”

”Got it,” Wyatt replied with a nod before returning her well-wishes. ”Happy reading to you, too!”

Once MayMay was gone, Wyattʼs primordial spirits automatically began dividing the workload among themselves, hurrying to conquer the mountain of books. Meanwhile, Wyatt moved to the other side of the forest and created a personal grassland.

No, he wasnʼt planning to laze around while his primordial spirits did all the work. Instead, he intended to practice combat arts following the guidance of the training card the Field Marshal had given him. He had long acknowledged the importance of combat arts and it as his main shortcoming. Now that he finally had the time for it, he decided to focus on making up for his only shortcoming in his current combat prowess.

Before beginning, he summoned one of his free primordial spirits to train alongside him. Wyatt planned to practice the combat arts simultaneously with his clone to determine if they shared the same martial talent and whether he could efficiently absorb the insights his spirit gained during training. His intent couldnʼt have been clearer, to see if he could make for talent in martial arts with his multiple primordial spirits.

He planned to being with a simple experiment, to see if his primordial spirits could complete combat arts training on his behalf just as effectively as he could, without adverse effects. If successful, Wyatt would have discovered a shortcut-a cheat, if you will-that allowed him to fulfill his daily combat training quota even when preoccupied with other tasks. This way he would not have to give up on everything else to pursue the martial way.
