--- Chapter 77 ---
After getting the latest news, Han Yuan, Dugu Bo, and Dugu Xin returned to the inn the girls chose and cleaned themselves separately.
"What a long day." Han Yuan dipped himself in a wooden basin filled with warm water and stared at the wooden ceiling silently. Unfortunately, he knew they couldn't stay in the Freebird Town for too long.
They should return to Dao Academy quickly to decrease suspicion of a 'certain' fox.
Han Yuan unexpectedly remembered a few things, "Oh, yeah, I haven't checked the task's reward for surviving the meteors and the thing from the void. Even though the place wasn't ideal, a brief review should be fine."
With that in mind, Han Yuan let the system notification appear.
[Ding! You have finished your "Can I Take These Meteors Down and Survive?" Task]
[Calculating the difficulty...]
[Determining the reward based on the difficulty...]
[Ding!]
[Congratulations to the Owner for obtaining "One of World Thundering Heavenly Books - White Tiger's Lightning Degree" from the World of Against the Gods!]
"Against the Gods?" Han Yuan blinked his eyes in disbelief. He expected to get something like lightning mastery insight, but this was something else because the World of Against the Gods was much, much, much stronger than Douluo Dalu World.
The only similarity is probably how much readers hate the protagonist of both worlds. If Douluo Dalu has Hypocrite Tang San, then the Against the Gods has Scum Che.
However, what shocked Han Yuan more was the reward he got.
Although Han Yuan hasn't finished Against the Worlds Novel because the story becomes unbearable after a "certain" arc, he somewhat knows many things about this world.
Han Yuan knew about the [World Scorching Heavenly Books] and [World Freezing Heavenly Books], profound arts of Supreme Fire and Supreme Water Divine Beasts. They are beings from the Primordial Era of Gods, supreme existence.
Even then, Han Yuan does not know a thing about the [World Thundering Heavenly Books].
Did it appear in the latter chapters?
Damn it, Mars!
Thankfully, Han Yuan has developed strong mental fortitude because he has lived in this world. He quickly calmed down and checked the reward he got with steady excitement in his heart.
...
[White Tiger's Lightning Degree (Incomplete)]
[White Tiger's Lightning Degree is one of the World Thundering Heavenly Books, a Profound Art made by the Primordial White Tiger, one of the Three Supreme Lightning Attribute Beasts. This Profound Art contained the most profound understanding of the Law of Lightning and Primordial White Tiger's personal experience, capable of rumbling heaven and earth!]
[It is one of the most destructive Profound Arts from the Against the God World, especially against Devil Race]
[1st Stage: Wild Heart-Shattering Roar]
[2nd Stage: Descend the Mountain, Raging the Rivers]
[3rd Stage: Heavenly Rumbling, Overturning Earth]
[4th Stage: Supreme Overlord, Governing Heaven]
[Note: Due to being incomplete Profound Art, this version of White Tiger's Lightning Degree only records four stages. One also must have the blood of Primordial White Tiger and Thundering Profound Veins to cultivate this Profound Art]
...
Han Yuan's breathing became heavier as he read the introduction of the White Tiger's Lightning Degree. He didn't expect to get the legacy made by the Supreme Divine Beasts!
But all that excitement goes to the hill when the note below states Han Yuan couldn't cultivate White Tiger's Lightning Degree due to the lack of Profound Energy, Thundering Profound Veins, and Primordial White Tiger's Blood.
"Fuck, You gotta be joking!" Han Yuan struck his hand on the nearby wall, creating a smoking hole. The inn shook a bit because of it.
"This thing is useless then?"
"No, it's not completely useless..." Han Yuan fell into deep thought as he could modify the technique to work with spirit energy or spiritual power, which was his expertise due to his sharp perception.
The most important parts are the Law of Lightning and the Primordial White Tiger's personal experience within the White Tiger's Lightning Degree.
Once Han Yuan comprehended those two things, he was confident he could replicate White Tiger's Lightning Degree in his own way because he had already done the same with Xiao Yan's techniques.
No matter how difficult, Han Yuan knew it wasn't impossible!
"Hehe, very well," Han Yuan swiped his hair back. "I will take this as a challenge."
"System, I want to make a task."
[Please enter your input]
"Hmm, how about I can replicate the White Tiger's Lightning Degree in three-! No, five years!"
[The system has accepted your input]
[Generating the task...]
[Ding! You have issued a new task]
...
[Name: I Might Not Have Sharingan, But I Can Copy Your Move!]
[Objective: Replicate "White Tiger's Lightning Degree" to suit Douluo Dalu's rules, creating your own version of the Profound Art]
[Time Limit: Five Years]
[Reward: Unknown]
...
Han Yuan cracked his neck with a wicked smile, "Well, let's see how challenging this will be later."
"I should focus on what I got from the void now."
Han Yuan closed his eyes and slowly found himself in his spiritual sea of consciousness. He saw the Mental Palace and the Sky Poison Pearl not far away but focused more on the "new" white star in the violet realm.
He reached for the new star and received a gift. It's a cheat. Yet, it's not an item like Sky Poison Pearl or an ethereal interface like the Task Master System V.69.
"Yeah, baby! This Cheat is What I've Been Waiting For!"
"Hahaha, Jackpot! I hit the fucking Jackpot!"
The white light ball contained the inheritance of an Immortal Cultivator from the I Shall Seal the Heavens world. A cultivation world that's several steps ahead of Douluo Dalu. In fact, Douluo Dalu is barely strong enough to be in this grand universe's lower realm.
Anyway, back to the inheritance, it's not from your typical Immortal Cultivator, but one from the Unorthodox, not Demonic, Path.
The inheritance is called the "Sage Spirit Immortal Legacy" made by the Spirit Immortal Lord known for her dull view in life and death, containing the profound Dao of Soul and Spirituality of the World.
Its content is too difficult for Han Yuan to understand, but from the bits of wisdom alone, his understanding of the soul and the world has improved by a leap.
As expected from an Immortal Cultivator's Inheritance. Han Yuan could become a Godking with a "Sage Spirit Immortal Legacy" alone.
Unfortunately, Han Yuan's high perception is barely enough to learn this legacy. For once, he lamented his lack of learning ability.
He was confident he could replicate "White Tiger's Lightning Degree" in five years, but Sage Spirit Immortal Legacy? Nah, he has to admit he wasn't that good.
Fortunately, with the Sage Spirit Immortal Legacy, Han Yuan was sure he could replicate the "Spirit Soul Method" that the Necromancer Electrolux created for Huo Yuhao.
"What is exactly the void?" Han Yuan sighed in wonder. "Sky Poison Pearl, System, and now this?"
This straightforward question stayed in Han Yuan's mind for ten minutes before he finally gave up thinking about it.
"Whatever, at the end of the day, I got another cheat."
"Complaining about it would make me ungrateful."
Han Yuan slapped his face a few times and chuckled, "I'm always weak in the Soul Department, fearing Asura would jump me and take my soul away like taking candy from children, but not anymore."
"Hehe, I dare him to mess with my soul, and I'd send him to Shadow Realm for good!"
He stood up from the now-cold basin and said, "Well, it's time to leave this town."
