Ethan Smith picked up the book.
Only a few simple words were written on it: Modern History of Martial Arts.
The book was printed, indicating that it was compiled by later generations.
The book was thin, merely a few dozen pages.
Compared to the other three books, this one seemed pretty slim.
"It seems the history of martial arts is indeed bleak in recent times." Ethan Smith couldn't help shaking his head.
Not wasting any more time, he opened the first page.
The author's name came into view first.
The author was named Piedmont, and no other information was provided.
Ethan Smith found a corner to sit down with the book and started reading diligently.
The book was not large, but it documented everything in detail.
Every event—big or small—from two hundred years ago, up to twenty years ago, was recorded without omission.
Ethan Smith spent a whole three hours reading but still didn't find anything related to his father.
"That's strange," Ethan Smith frowned.
