Chapter Index

    No.

    It should be said that his breathing method had undergone a fundamental change.

    His body had forgotten its previous breathing method and naturally adopted the current one for daily breathing.

    It was only at this moment that he realized how impure and crude his breathing had been before, serving no purpose other than sustaining his body’s functions.

    The new breathing method was different.

    It engaged every organ in his body, allowing everything to achieve a state of “harmony” and “unity with nature” through breathing.

    The benefit of this was that the entire world now appeared different in his eyes.

    In an instant, Shen Ye felt as if the world had vanished, replaced by an empty darkness, a primordial universe, and infinite stars!

    Amidst the swirling mists, various shattered ancient structures, incomplete ancient weapons, and even some incredibly massive decaying corpses all floated in the boundless darkness.

    Shen Ye gazed at everything, and a sudden realization flashed in his mind.

    —This is the Dharma Realm.

    As soon as the realization emerged, all the anomalous phenomena vanished.

    He found himself still in the room, fallen on the floor, unable to move.

    Lines of faint glowing text appeared:

    “Congratulations.”

    “You have mastered Moonlit Divine Illumination.”

    “Dharma Realm Eye Technique.”

    “This eye technique is the exclusive fundamental method of the Moonlight lineage inheritance.”

    “Description: The Dharma Realm and all higher magical powers will be revealed before your eyes, leaving nothing hidden.”

    “Special Buff: Resonance with all Moonlight lineage inheritances increases by 20 points, and power increases threefold.”

    “All your basic attributes increase by 3 points, basic resonance increases by 8 points, and resonance with all Moonlight lineage inheritances increases by 20 points.”

    “Current attributes are:”

    “Strength: 4.3;”

    “Agility: 6.1;”

    “Spirit: 4;”

    “Insight: 4;”

    “Resonance: 9; Moonlight lineage inheritance resonance +20;”

    “Available attribute points: 10.”

    “Dharma Eye opened, hints obtained as follows:”

    “When all your attributes reach 20 points, you will receive the ‘True Man’ evaluation title.”

    His body gradually regained its strength.

    Shen Ye tentatively moved his hand, then slowly got up from the floor and sat leaning against the bed leg.

    He was completely uninjured.

    Unbelievable.

    He had suddenly been at death’s door, but after learning Moonlit Divine Illumination, he had come back to life and was completely healed.

    —It was like a dream.

    As for Moonlit Divine Illumination—

    Normally, when going from middle school to high school, having 2 points in various attributes was considered a prodigy.

    This time, after just learning Moonlit Divine Illumination, all attributes increased by 3 points.

    And that “resonance” immediately increased by 8 points.

    What an overbearing power!

    Wait a minute—

    Since Moonlit Divine Illumination was truly triggered, then the “Thunder Palm” of this world must be correct!

    It was the Thunder Palm of the nightmare world!

    How could this be?

    Why did both worlds have this martial art?

    And—

    Why could his “door” ability’s explanation function tell him that he had learned “Moonlit Divine Illumination”? And why did it specify that it was “the foundational method of the Moonlight lineage inheritance”?

    Shen Ye reread all the faint glowing text, feeling completely bewildered.

    What was a Dharma Eye?

    What was a True Man?

    The entire world seemed to be shrouded in layers of mist.

    He was completely lost, unable to see clearly or know where the torrent of fate would carry him.

    If one day all the mist cleared, what kind of truth would he discover?

    While he was pondering, lines of faint glowing text furiously refreshed:

    “From now on, you can cast the true ‘Frost Moon Quake’.”

    “Frost Moon Quake.”

    “Dharma Realm First Layer, Moonlight lineage inheritance, secret technique, purple (one in ten thousand).”

    “This secret technique is divided into four parts: Frost Bite, Flowing Moon, Thunder Quake, and Sky Shadow.”

    “Frost Bite: A kicking technique that kicks away enemies, their weapons, and even spells; it comes with ice attributes and can slow down the movement speed of the object kicked;”

    “Flowing Moon: A movement technique that blends dodging, rushing, and passing moves, combining them to create fluid afterimages when you move;”

    “Thunder Quake: A palm technique imbued with the power of heavenly thunder, capable of dispelling all evil and causing immense destruction;”

    “Sky Shadow: A unique technique that allows you to hide in the shadows of people or objects, undetectable unless the opponent is skilled in shadow abilities.”

    “‘Frost Moon Quake’ is the foundation of the Moonlight lineage inheritance. Its current level is Dharma Realm First Layer, and you can continue to upgrade it;”

    “Additionally, under the influence of ‘Moonlit Divine Illumination’, this secret Moonlight lineage technique will have its power forcefully increased threefold in combat.”

    Moonlit Deer Stride became Flowing Moon, Frost Wind became Frost Bite, Shadow Technique became Sky Shadow, and Thunder Palm became Thunder Quake.

    Kicking technique, movement technique, palm technique, unique technique—all four were complete!

    He had been worried about not having offensive techniques—

    —This immediately boosted his combat power by an unknown number of times!

    And then, with the eye technique buff of “Moonlit Divine Illumination,” the power would be tripled again!

    Shen Ye shivered all over.

    He had been going back and forth between two worlds for so long, and this was the first time he had seen something purple!

    This was a purple secret technique inheritance!

    One in ten thousand!

    —Among tens of thousands of martial art inheritances, it might be impossible to find such an inheritance!

    Who was it?

    Who hid such a “Frost Moon Quake” in the nightmare world, with each of the four races only obtaining a small part of the inheritance?

    Taken separately—

    Whether it was “Shadow Technique” or “Frost Wind,” or “Thunder Palm” and “Moonlit Deer Stride,” they were all insignificant moves.

    The mediocrity and flaws they displayed made each race disregard them.

    For example, elves already intensely disliked undead and scorned them; humans and orcs considered undead to be ominous monsters.

    The three races had their own advanced martial arts and would never try to secretly learn undead techniques!

    The undead had even less reason to learn the orcs’ Thunder Palm.

    Thunder strikes evil.

    —Undead naturally detest lightning!

    Only “Moonlit Deer Stride” might be mastered by elves and humans, but “Moonlit Deer Stride” was an elven battle formation movement technique, and human soldiers had their own battle formation methods and would not easily learn this elven move.

    As for Frost Wind, Big Skeleton had already mentioned its uselessness.

    The various races had these martial arts, but basically no one practiced them.

    It was even more impossible for anyone to cross four warring races and learn all these worthless moves.

    So who could have imagined—

    That these four skills combined would transform into such an astonishing ultimate technique?

    Unbelievable.

    Shen Ye could not imagine who could have deduced such a move to this extent and then deeply hidden it in the nightmare world.

    And for what purpose was this done?

    Shen Ye held his breath for a moment, then couldn’t help but shake his head.

    The truth of this matter was still too far out of reach for him.

    It was not something he could consider right now.

    Shen Ye had a trait.

    If he couldn’t figure something out, he wouldn’t think about it anymore. He’d put it aside and deal with important matters first.

    At this moment, his phone rang again.

    He picked up the phone and saw it was Qian Rushan.

    “Hello, it’s me—”

    “Sorry, I had it on silent while playing games, didn’t hear it.”

    “Playing games? What game?” Qian Rushan asked curiously.

    “Super Mario—this game is full of question marks, only those who are thick-headed can find the mushrooms behind them,” Shen Ye said.

    “Played all day? Only contacting me on the second day?” Qian Rushan’s tone carried a hint of meaning.

    Shen Ye then realized.

    —He had been unconscious for an entire day!

    “If I hadn’t checked the surveillance just now and seen you enter the room perfectly fine yesterday, I would have already contacted Kunlun,” Qian Rushan said.

    “Sorry, some personal family matters… but they’ve been dealt with now,” Shen Ye said.

    “Alright then, let’s get to business,” Qian Rushan’s voice came through the receiver:

    “There’s a training session at 2 PM in the combat training ground on the 63rd floor, with a specialized trainer for you.”

    “At 7 PM, come with me to a welcome banquet. This is a very important event.”

    “New recruits from all three major organizations will be there.”

    “Remember not to be late.”

    Shen Ye nodded, “Okay, I understand, thank you, Manager Qian, for arranging this for me.”

    “Don’t mention it, you’re the new recruit I strongly recommended, just perform well.”

    The call ended.

    Shen Ye

    Shen Ye

    struggled to stand, wobbled into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and washed away the blood and grime from his body.

    His strength reached 4.3.

    This number meant that without adding attribute points, he could easily handle average middle school students.

    His agility was an inherent talent of this body, no need to elaborate.

    He also understood the meaning of insight.

    At this moment, what was most worth noting was “resonance.”

    —What did this “resonance” represent?

    After learning Moonlit Divine Illumination, it suddenly increased by 9 points!

    It seemed he would have to ask Qian Rushan.

    He looked up at himself in the mirror.

    He hadn’t changed at all.

    Only his eyes seemed more energetic; if one looked closely, a white light seemed to emanate from his pupils.

    This was too strange.

    —What was the use of this eye technique?

    Shen Ye examined himself carefully.

    As he stared, two lines of faint text quietly appeared above his head.

    One line of text was “Boy Who Cheated Death.”

    Followed by the explanation:

    “???”

    The other line was “Little Match Girl,” also followed by an explanation:

    “???”

    www.t t k a n.C 〇

    “—The above entries are of extraordinary origin and can only be obtained by completing high-difficulty portal missions.”

    Shen Ye was stunned.

    He could now see the corresponding explanations for the entries?

    Was this the power of “Moonlit Divine Illumination”?

    Wait—

    Shen Ye suddenly felt all the hairs on his body stand on end.

    In the mirror, a blood-red thread quietly emerged on his neck.

    This thread tightly bound his neck, its other end stretching into the endless void, its destination unknown.

    —He had recently been feeling discomfort in his shoulders and neck!

    He had assumed it was due to exhaustion, but who knew there was such a thread tied around his neck.

    Faint light appeared as small text:

    “???”

    “Eldritch Divinity Spell.”

    “Description: When you appear within a five-hundred-mile radius of the caster, the caster can perceive your location and

    instantly teleport to your presence.”

    “This spell has currently detected your awareness of it.”

    “The spell has been dispelled.”

    “At some point, its caster will use it again.”

    “—Your world cannot yet comprehend this spell.”

    All the small text vanished.

    The blood-red thread silently disappeared.
