Aside from the Black Dragon Medicine Ball, the other privilege of passing the test in the academy is the access to the secret Martial Arts manuals, which can be deemed one of the most important privileges for martial artists. There were many manuals within the academy, and even the books from the Six Clans martial arts were stored within the academy.

Appearance

The library was shaped like a tower, and each higher floor had less space. There were no windows, and the only entrance was from the entrance on the first floor. The library has five floors, and the higher the floor, the stronger the level of Martial Arts manual. Cadets will be given access to a higher floor once they go up and pass the six stages of the aptitude test.

Levels

First Floor

The first floor only has a 2-hr (1-hr in the novel) duration allotted for students to find the martial arts manual they want to memorize. The manuals located here had the basics of all martial arts and their origins, including "Origin of Internal Energy". At the center of the library was a giant stone monument that glowed faintly in blue; it was the sapphire monolith left by Cheon Ma that contained the sword markings of the Sword Force of the Heavenly Demon as well as the counterword marks left by the Sword Demon.

Second Floor

The second floor was smaller than the first, and there was a staircase near the entrance right before the first floor to access it. It has a 3-hour (1-hour and 30 minutes in the novel) duration allotted for students to find the martial art manual they want to memorize. Like the first floor, it has a sapphire monolith at the center, which contains the second formation of the Sword Force of the Heavenly Demon and the counterword marks left by the Sword Demon.

Third Floor

The third floor has 4 hours given for cadets. It had increased tremendously since the second floor because the third floor contains Advance Prowess Martial Arts manuals that were very thick and complicated, making them hard to memorize for the cadets. Just like the two preceding floors, it has the sapphire monolith at its center, which contains the third formation of the Sword Force of the Heavenly Demon as well as the counterword marks left by the Sword Demon.

Fourth Floor

The fourth floor was much smaller, and there were fewer martial arts manuals; it had a 6-hour allotted time. It seemed like the total number of books was only about 400, but they contained manuals of powerful martial arts skills and techniques. And unlike the other floors, it is divided into three groups where one group of manuals, which had the most, consisted of Expert Prowess (Master level in the novel) Martial Art Manual from the Demonic Cult while the other half of books were those taken from the Forces of Justice such as Diancang Sect's Flowing Cloud Sword Technique, Kunlun Sect's Great Clear Movement Technique, Mount Hua Sect's Plum Blossom Sword Technique, Menggwang Sect's Five Fury Fist and martial arts from the Forces of Evil. It was a collection of martial arts collected over hundreds of years. It was not the best from each of the clans, but it was very powerful indeed. At the center of it is the sapphire monolith that is cut down; it contained the fourth formation of the Sword Force of the Heavenly Demon and the counterword marks left by the Sword Demon.

Fifth Floor

The fifth floor, like the fourth, has a total of 6 hours as a time limit for cadets. The floor was really small and had almost no bookshelves at all. There were only about twenty books in the fifth floor ,which was considered to be among the top martial arts within the Heavenly Demonic Cult and they are mostly from the best clans as well as the Six Clans such as the Crazy Spirit Sword from the Sword Clan, Spring Ki Fist from the Spring Clan, Flowing Dark Cloud Palm from the Dark Clan, Destructive Sound Wave of Sound Clan, Poison Toad Demon Palm of Poison Clan and Demonic Phantom Blade of Blade Clan as well as other strong martial arts from Demonic Cult which includes Butterfly Blade Dance, Crimson Fire Sword Technique and Steps of the Wind God. The most important thing on the fifth floor is the fifth sapphire monolith, which contains the last formation of Cheon Ma's Sword Force of the Heavenly Demon.

Trivia

Unknown to many, including the Lord, the library has a basement that is accessible by passing the sixth test. It is well protected and maintained and the responsibility circulates among the Guardian Family. The basement contains skins as well as the right arm of Sword Demon,;this is also where Sword Demon left his secret martial arts books such as the True Demon Sword, Twenty Four Demon Sword Art asndthe Analysis of the Blade God's Techniques.
