Chapter 63 Mysterious New Abilities
The brain's development level is normally 15%, but after unlocking the secrets, it has finally broken through the 20% mark!
After Xuanji's progress reached 20%, based on the verification from the battle with Yuan Jingui, Zhuge Yan also discovered Xuanji's two abilities.
First, remain absolutely calm.
Once the mystery is unlocked, all emotional feelings will completely disappear, replaced by absolutely rational calculations.
In other words, no matter how complicated the situation, Zhuge Yan's emotions would not fluctuate in the slightest, and he would not make any mistakes because of it!
Second, anticipate the enemy's moves.
After the mystery reaches 20%, Zhuge Yan originally needed to actively calculate the enemy's movement trajectory through the loopholes in the Heavenly Dao, so as to achieve the effect of anticipating the enemy's moves.
This ability sounds incredibly powerful, but in reality, all warlocks know that it's actually quite useless.
Exploiting loopholes in the Heavenly Dao requires immense computing power, yet it still allows one to handle opponents of vastly different skill levels with ease.
However, when facing opponents of similar or even greater skill levels, one's own computing power simply cannot keep up with the opponent's attack speed!
So here's the question: if the skill levels are vastly different, even without needing this ability, a sorcerer can easily win using esoteric magic, so what's the point?
Aside from showing off and making fun of others like Zhuge Qing at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, it's hard to find any other decent use for it.
But now that Zhuge Yan has unlocked the secret, all these shortcomings will turn into advantages!
When the mystery is activated, Zhuge Yan's brain computing power will experience a qualitative leap.
Skills that originally required active activation become completely "passive" during the activation of the Mystery!
In other words, as long as the mystery continues, Zhuge Yan can always predict the enemy's next move!
This is why he was able to dodge in advance when Yuan Jingui tried to attack him with the Heavenly Pearl!
Thinking of this, Zhuge Yan couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
Indeed, the decision to cultivate the Reverse Life Triple Realm was the right one.
Without a doubt, it was his previous attempt to simultaneously activate Reverse Life and Mystery that ultimately turned out to be a blessing in disguise, allowing him to successfully break through the 20% barrier of Mystery that had troubled him for many years!
Just as Zhuge Yan was still immersed in the joy of his breakthrough in Xuanji, Wu Chengzhen and Lu Jin's group slowly walked up behind him.
"Junior Brother Yan, how are you feeling?"
Wu Chengzhen stepped forward and asked.
"Me? I'm fine~"
Zhuge Yan smiled slightly.
To be precise, it felt better than ever before!
"Is that so...that's good."
Wu Chengzhen nodded, but didn't ask any further questions.
At the same time, Lu Jin dragged the Quanxing demon who was traveling with Yuan Jingui to Zhuge Yan, as if he were a dead dog.
"Junior Brother Yan, this big guy is still breathing. You can decide how to deal with it afterward."
"Thank you, fellow disciples."
Zhuge Yan first clasped his hands in thanks, and then once again used the Earth Chariot to bury the "star-crossed lovers" together underground.
After doing all this, he turned his gaze to Wang Yaozu, who was standing to the side.
"Senior, may I ask the name of the person who was with Yuan Jingui?"
Wang Yaozu was slightly taken aback, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
"Yang Huan".
"learn."
Zhuge Yan nodded, and then, amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, he found a wooden board in the corner of the courtyard, on which the names of Yuan Jingui and Yang Huan were carved.
"Junior Brother Yan, what's wrong with you...?"
Faced with everyone's doubts, Zhuge Yan explained while inserting the wooden plank into the ground.
"Let's erect a monument for them!"
"Erect a monument for the Quanxing demon? Is that really necessary?"
"Yes! These wicked people committed countless evil deeds in their lives; they deserve to be reduced to ashes!"
"Exactly! Junior Brother Yan, you're still too soft-hearted!"
……
Zhuge Yan ignored Lu Jin and the others' words and slowly shook his head.
"I won't care if others kill them, but as far as I'm concerned, since they died by my hand, then the karma between me and them in this life has been settled."
No matter how many evils they committed or how much they offended me in their lives, the moment they died in my hands, their karma was settled.
Erecting a monument for them is simply the last insignificant thing I, as a human being, will do for them.
After hearing Zhuge Yan's words, everyone was speechless for a moment.
Lu Jin and Zhuge Yun exchanged glances, both seeing the speechlessness in each other's eyes.
"Our junior brother Yan is actually quite interesting..."
"Not only do they bury people they kill, they even erect tombstones for them! I've really seen something new today, haha!"
……
Meanwhile, in the rear.
Looking at Zhuge Yan in the crowd, a complex emotion flashed in Wang Yaozu's eyes.
Even though the other party killed their Quanxing "comrades" right in front of him, for some reason, looking at Zhuge Yan, who was erecting a monument for Yuan Jingui and the other man, he could not bring himself to hate him.
"Zuo Ruotong... has taken on a good disciple..."
In the end, Wang Yaozu could only sigh in his heart before closing his eyes again.
After completing the final work, Zhuge Yan patted the dust off his hands.
"Dear fellow practitioners, thank you all for your hard work today. To express my gratitude, since we're coming down the mountain today, I'll treat you all to a nice meal at a restaurant!"
"good!"
Just as the members of the Sanyi Sect were happily preparing to leave the courtyard and go to a restaurant in town...
Outside the courtyard, a figure that Zhuge Yan knew all too well suddenly appeared.
"It's you!!!"
Upon seeing Zhuge Yan, Li Muxuan immediately let out a gasp of surprise!
Then, looking at the Sanyi Sect members behind Zhuge Yan, his face turned deathly pale!
"Why are the Trinity Sect members here? Wait, what did you do to the old man?!"
As Li Muxuan finished speaking, his true qi began to surge around him, making him look ready to fight at any moment!
"You brat, stop now!"
Wang Yaozu's voice suddenly rang out in the courtyard.
Upon hearing this sound, Li Muxuan's hand movements paused instantly.
"Old man? You..."
Before Li Muxuan could finish speaking, his body rose into the air again, flying past the Sanyi Sect members towards the small courtyard.
Upon seeing this, Zhuge Yan and Lu Jin exchanged a glance, shrugged, and neither of them paid any attention.
"Let's go! Let's eat out!!!"
……
After confirming that the members of the Sanyi Sect had indeed gone far away, Wang Yaozu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"You little bastard, if you want to die, don't drag this old man down with you!"
