Multiverse Skill System

"That would be troublesome."

How smoothly things have gone! Yi Shuihan felt that this was a bit too easy; it seemed like good things had been happening one after another ever since he came to the capital!

Coming to the capital was definitely the right decision.

"Then without further ado, I'll go and make the arrangements."

Feng Wuhen seemed even more anxious than Yi Shuihan, and hurriedly left.

A few days later, when Hua Ya arrived before Yi Shuihan with more than ten kung fu books and nearly a hundred spellbooks, how could Yi Shuihan describe his feelings? Absolutely wonderful.

"Is this really the foundational cultivation method? Or is it a lie? You're just trying to get these things."

Hua Ya looked at Yi Shuihan with great suspicion, clutching the box in her hands with some reluctance.

Yi Shuihan simply smiled and extended his hand. Without saying a word, he quietly looked at Hua Ya. In the end, Hua Ya couldn't resist Yi Shuihan's gaze and handed the box to him.

"Why did you deliver it? Where is your grandmaster?"

He opened the box, took out a manual of the Blazing Sun Heart Technique, and began to read it, saying casually.

“My grandmaster is being blocked by those people! Even he is under tremendous pressure to give you these things.”

Hua Ya's tone was somewhat dissatisfied when she said this. Of course, this dissatisfaction was not directed at Yi Shuihan, but at those guys who were still thinking about fighting for power and profit when they were clearly facing life and death.

These dozen or so cultivation manuals are all top-tier, several levels better than Yi Shuihan's commonplace basic skill manual. Even within the Special Operations Department, each one is extremely precious, let alone so many spellbooks. Even Hua Yu, as the head of the Third Special Operations Section, is not qualified to hand them over to Yi Shuihan.

Only with the intervention of Feng Wuhen, a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator, could they barely agree to lend the property, but they did so under many conditions. It must be said that Feng Wuhen was truly good to Yi Shuihan.

"Hurry up and read these books, I want to take them back with me! I'll be staying with you for the next few days."

After Hua Ya finished speaking, she casually found a place to sit down.

Yi Shuihan paid no attention to Hua Ya's actions, but was already immersed in the sea of ​​cultivation techniques. Having only seen one basic cultivation technique, he saw many things worth learning from these advanced techniques.

It turns out that simply modifying the path of one's energy flow can increase the speed of cultivation so much. Even a few changes in breathing frequency can have a huge impact. Cultivation can also be divided into time periods; different techniques at different times and in different places will result in different cultivation speeds...

Various kinds of unfamiliar knowledge were constantly being refined in Yi Shuihan's mind, making him deeply immersed in it and unable to extricate himself.

For the next month, Yi Shuihan studied these cultivation techniques and selected some suitable spells to practice, which greatly broadened his knowledge. Although his strength did not improve much, these things were undoubtedly very important for his future development.

Hua Ya, who had always stayed by Yi Shuihan's side, was also moved by Yi Shuihan's attitude of neglecting sleep and meals, and began to cultivate diligently herself.

On this day, Yi Shuihan was testing a newly learned spell, "Scattering Beans to Create Soldiers." He took the beans he had bought, covered them with his magic power according to the method in his mind, and then casually scattered them.

The beans changed instantly upon touching the ground, transforming into celestial soldiers—actually just people dressed in ancient military uniforms.

"Did it work? A dozen or so celestial soldiers, slightly stronger than ordinary people, are still a bit of a waste for me right now!" Although he said that, Yi Shuihan was extremely satisfied. The strength of these celestial soldiers would also increase as Yi Shuihan's strength changed. Besides, he was not yet proficient in using them. Once he became proficient, he would be able to summon even more powerful celestial soldiers.

"Wow, amazing! How did you learn the art of turning beans into soldiers so quickly? Even our grandmaster doesn't know this magic!" Hua Ya's eyes seemed to gleam with golden light as she saw the dozen or so imposing figures on the horizon.

"It's all because of the choice of Steins;Gate... uh, I mean, it's all because of my unparalleled talent. This kind of magic is simply too simple." Yi Shuihan was in a good mood and said narcissistically.

Chapter 244, Revenge on the Spot

Hua Ya did not refute Yi Shuihan's extremely narcissistic words, because what Yi Shuihan showed was too frightening, and even she believed that Yi Shuihan really was such a genius.

"Alright, let's go together! I'll take you back so you don't lose anything." With Yi Shuihan's memory, he could have memorized all of this in just a few days, but he didn't just read books blindly. Instead, he would try to apply what he had learned based on his inspiration after finishing each book, which is why it has been delayed until now.

"Are you really not going to take another look? There's still time."

"No need, I've already gotten what I wanted."

Silently picking up the box containing the books, Hua Ya walked ahead.

Although the Special Operations Department also has a location in the capital, its real headquarters is in a valley not far from the capital. After all, they are all cultivators, and they mostly prefer quiet places to the bustling capital. Besides, the concentration of spiritual energy in the capital is far inferior to that in this valley.

The valley is also known as the Valley of Seeking the Dao, implying that it is inhabited by people who seek immortality and enlightenment. In fact, the valley does indeed have a certain mystical atmosphere.

The Valley of Seeking the Way is built against the mountain, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. It has only one entrance, and all people must pass through this entrance to enter or exit.

Inside the valley were palaces and pavilions, arranged in a neat and orderly fashion, looking extremely exquisite, clearly costing a great price.

Yi Shuihan followed Hua Ya to one of the pavilions with a sign that read "Library".

"Is Elder Yang here? I've come to return a book."

A series of coughs rang out, and then an elderly man in a blue robe with age spots on his face emerged from the depths of the pavilion.

He was actually at the late stage of Qi Refining, but he seemed to be injured. Yi Shuihan saw through the old man's true strength at a glance.

"It's Xiaoya!" Elder Yang saw a clear softening in Huaya's eyes. Although Huaya's cultivation was only at the early stage of Qi Refining, and Yi Shuihan didn't even bother to look at her, she actually held a very high position in the valley. In addition, her lively personality made her very popular with others.

"Yes, I'm back. Check if anything is missing. I brought everything back in perfect condition."

Old Yang glanced at the box and said, "Just put the things here, I'll take care of them later. But this gentleman, could he be...?"

"That's right, it's him. Isn't he handsome!"

"Indeed, Xiaoya, you have good taste."

Old Yang gave Yi Shuihan a deep look, and then said nothing more, as if he didn't care much about Yi Shuihan.

"Hey, isn't this Xiaoya? You're back!"

At this moment, two young men walked over. One of them saw Su Ya and his eyes lit up instantly. He then ran over eagerly.

"Didn't I tell you not to call me Xiaoya? Dong Hui, we're not that close."

Su Ya's words caused a flash of anger in Dong Hui's eyes, but he quickly concealed it and said with a smile, "Xiao Ya, don't be angry. You know, I only love you. Other women are just for fun, only needed for cultivation."

"I'm nobody to you, why are you so angry? Just give up! I'll never be interested in someone like you."

Hua Ya's obvious stance left Dong Hui in an awkward position. At this moment, the young man next to him suddenly pointed at Yi Shuihan and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here!"

At this moment, Dong Hui also noticed Yi Shuihan. Seeing how close Yi Shuihan and Hua Ya were, he was immediately filled with rage. Damn woman, she actually went behind my back to find another man.

A murderous glint flashed in Dong Hui's eyes, directed at Yi Shuihan.

Before Dong Hui could make a move, Yi Shuihan decided to strike first. "Excuse me," he said. "Don't mess with me. I'm a straightforward person, and I usually settle scores on the spot."

Upon hearing this, everyone stared at him in astonishment. Even Hua Ya felt like she was getting to know Yi Shuihan all over again. Was this arrogant person really the same person?

"So what if I offended you? You're just an ordinary person. Even if I kill you, no one will say anything."

Ge Hui looked at Yi Shuihan provocatively, feeling utterly disdainful of him. How dare an ordinary person be so insolent in front of him? He was simply courting death.

"Ge Hui, don't go too far. Don't forget this is the library."

Hua Ya's expression changed. She said this for Ge Hui's own good. Knowing Yi Shuihan's background, she didn't think Ge Hui could gain any advantage. Although she disliked Ge Hui, she didn't want him to be killed because of this. Without any basis, she instinctively felt that what Yi Shuihan said might be true.

Hua Ya's words had some effect, but they only made Ge Hui a little hesitant.

"In that case, do you dare to come outside with me?"

To be honest, Yi Shuihan was speechless when he heard Ge Hui's words. How did things develop to this point?

Without replying, Yi Shuihan slowly walked up to Ge Hui, looked at him, and then slapped him.

"Snapped"

A loud slap rang out, and then everyone stared at Yi Shuihan in astonishment.

"You hit me! How dare you hit me?"

The burning sensation on his face completely robbed Dong Hui of his reason, and he raised his hand to retaliate.

Will Yi Shuihan just obediently wait for his counterattack?

"You're really naughty! Naughtiness deserves a beating! Your parents don't get to beat you, so I'll do it for them!"

"Clap clap clap..."

Yi Shuihan's hand seemed to transform into a phantom, constantly flashing across Ge Hui's face, while Ge Hui shook his head in rhythm, as if he had taken ecstasy.

“Ni (you)...Ni (you)..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ge Hui's eyes rolled back and he fainted.

"Now it's completely peaceful. I'm leaving now."

Yi Shuihan shook his hand and walked outside.

"Elder Yang, are we just going to let him leave like this? He has violated the rules of the library."

The young man who came with Dong Hui shouted at Old Yang, saying that he was frightened by Yi Shuihan's behavior and dared not take action himself, so he was relying on others.

"He's not from around here, so he doesn't have to follow the rules."

Elder Yang glanced at him and said without changing his expression.

Just kidding, this guy is supposedly a Nascent Soul cultivator! If I could beat him, would he be so arrogant? If I were to intervene, I'd be the one who loses face.

Young man naturally wouldn't know what Old Yang was thinking, so he could only stare blankly at Yi Shuihan's receding figure.

"Hey, wait for me, I'll walk with you."

Hua Ya realized what was happening and quickly ran after them.

"Aren't you going to take him away? Do you expect me to do it myself?"

"Ah? Oh!"

Chapter 245, The Devil in Smith's Eyes

"Thank you so much for your help earlier." Hua Ya, standing next to Yi Shuihan, seemed very happy.

"Uh!" Yi Shuihan's expression froze. This must be a misunderstanding. I just struck first. After all, even if I did nothing, I would still be implicated, wouldn't I?

However, Yi Shuihan did not offer an explanation, as such matters only become more complicated with further explanation.

"You need to be careful. Ge Hui's master is a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, and his position in the Special Operations Department is no lower than mine. Moreover, he is notoriously protective of his own. If he finds out about this, he will definitely come after you!"

Late stage of Qi Refining? Is that high? Yi Shuihan's face showed disdain.

Seeing this, Hua Ya also thought of Yi Shuihan's Nascent Soul cultivation level and realized that she had been worrying too much.

"Where to next? Are we going back already?"

"Go collect the debts."

"Collect the bill?"

Yi Shuihan did not explain. His so-called collection of debts was only the debt to Zhong Aiguo. Although Ge Laomo came to deliver merit in the end, it did not mean that Yi Shuihan could let Zhong Aiguo go. Originally, Yi Shuihan did not intend to investigate further after killing his son.

Zhong Aiguo delivered himself to Yi Shuihan's embarrassment, so Yi Shuihan didn't hold back.

Actually, the reason Yi Shuihan didn't immediately cause trouble for Zhong Aiguo after dealing with Ge Laomo was because he was giving Zhong Aiguo a chance. If the other party was sensible and apologized and softened his stance, Yi Shuihan could forget about the matter. After all, Zhong Aiguo seemed to be a very good person on the surface.

"You really think highly of me. There must be hundreds of good people here!" Suddenly, Yi Shuihan stopped.

"what happened?"

Hua Ya looked at Yi Shuihan, who had suddenly stopped, with a strange expression. She looked around but didn't find anything amiss.

"It's nothing, just a few small bugs. You wait here for a bit, I'll be right back."

After saying this, Yi Shuihan took a step and disappeared into thin air.

One kilometer away from where Yi Shuihan had spoken, several hundred fully armed British soldiers were quietly hidden in the forest, and the leader among them was none other than Smith.

"Colonel Smith, isn't it an overreaction to mobilize all our forces in the capital for one person?" A young man in a crisp military uniform, clearly a tough soldier, said with a puzzled look next to Smith.

Smith smiled slightly upon hearing this and said, "Nordwa, there is a saying in this ancient country: 'Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit.' Don't underestimate anyone. These Taoists are not ordinary people; they possess various mysterious abilities. This matter is of great importance, and in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, we have mobilized all the empire's resources in the capital."

He paused for a moment and continued, "Besides, how can we show Mr. Zhong our sincerity if we don't mobilize so many people? Although a few people can solve the problem, if we really do that, Mr. Zhong might think the matter is too simple and might have other ideas."

Smith highly valued the officer next to him, who was much younger than him, and vaguely considered grooming him as his successor, which is why he explained so much.

Nordwa nodded thoughtfully after hearing Smith's words, as if he had understood something. Smith admired him even more for this.

However, what they didn't know was that while they were waiting expectantly for Yi Shuihan to appear, Yi Shuihan was quietly watching them from above.

"There are actually more than ten snipers. Have they already developed such advanced technology as rocket launchers? It seems that technology is developing much faster in this world." Yi Shuihan commented with some surprise.

With such power, let alone an ambush, even a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator would be instantly killed in a direct confrontation. Even an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator could lose their life if caught off guard.

After all, if cultivators don't train their bodies or use magic to defend themselves, their defense isn't particularly strong. Even Qi Refining cultivators can't stop bullets, let alone rocket launchers. And even if they are prepared, Qi Refining cultivators can't defend against rocket launchers.

Yi Shuihan landed slowly and silently approached the last soldier. He gently touched the soldier's body, and the soldier's eyes rolled back. Although he remained in the same position, he had actually lost his life.

Yi Shuihan then repeated the process, and a few minutes later, the only survivors were Smith and Nordwa beside him.

"What are you doing?" A hand suddenly landed on Nordwa's shoulder. He said impatiently, thinking it was his subordinate joking. However, when he turned around, he saw a face he had never seen before.

"Who are you?" Because everyone else remained in their original state, Nordwa was unaware that the people he had brought with him had all been wiped out.

"Weren't you waiting for me?"
