Chapter 56: Ye Hui, in what aspect have you gotten stronger?

Although it was a lower-grade divine ability, it was exceptionally suited to the profession of a formation master.

The knowledge granted by an elementary sub-profession was not particularly vast.

Ye Hui chose to take up the profession directly.

With a soft hum, a stream of memories flowed into his mind.

Sensing the skill information within his mind, he felt much more relaxed.

"Now, I am a formation master too!"

Thinking of the abilities of a Grand Supreme Formation Master in the system logs, Ye Hui could not help his heart racing.

It was a long and arduous journey indeed!

Every profession, when pushed to its absolute limit, perhaps presented a completely different scenery!

"Once my formation profession continues to level up, I should probably be able to cast large-scale, terrifying abilities just like Clow Reed..."

Ye Hui thought to himself.

However, if it were truly on par with Clow Reed's manifestations, his magic could even influence other worlds.

A Grand Supreme Formation Master would simply be beyond reach...

Of course, one could never be certain. If one could achieve immortality through formations, then the power of formations would still not be weak.

Regardless, hammering iron required a strong self.

A sub-profession held infinite futures, but one's own strength was even more crucial.

"It's just that the three professions of talismans, formations, and artifact crafting complement one another. With the help of these professions, I can already handle many difficult problems..."

Ye Hui began to organize his knowledge as a formation master.

Formations and talismans were deeply intertwined.

Even without understanding formations, a talisman master could naturally use talismans to form combined attack arrays.

Conversely, though formation masters might not know how to draw talismans, their formations could be equivalent to large-scale talismans.

The principles of these two professions were actually quite similar.

In fact, the runes used in both often overlapped significantly.

This allowed Ye Hui, despite only just becoming a formation master, to gain a deeper understanding of this profession.

"Well, after becoming a formation master, I seem to have gained some ability to deal with certain BUG-level Clow Cards."

In addition, talismans and formations could also assist in artifact crafting.

By imbuing equipment with talismans and formations, many special abilities could be added.

The three skills reinforced one another.

Ye Hui felt that he finally possessed some foundational strength now.

"Once I forge some equipment and formation flags, combined with intermediate talismans, this configuration should surpass Li Syaoran!"

Ye Hui smiled inwardly.

Finally, he would not be reduced to a mere grunt in this world!

Ye Hui continued to read downward.

The Space Stone, one of the backpack expansion items, went without saying.

For items like this, the more, the better.

"Use!"

[Backpack: 3 cubic meters]

Ye Hui then looked at the next reward.

"Taiyin Essence Gold? This is a rare mineral vein metal that can be used to upgrade flying swords..."

Ye Hui instantly thought of his own flying sword.

Although "Azure Edge" was a standard-issue flying sword from an ancient sect, its quality was extremely stable.

Moreover, the crucial point was... this was his only flying sword.

Therefore, he had no choice but to use it to upgrade "Azure Edge".

"Use Taiyin Essence Gold to upgrade the flying sword!"

[Upgrade successful! You have obtained a middle-grade flying sword—"Azure Edge"! ]

The final reward was a new skill.

"Thunder Seal, it looks somewhat familiar..."

Ye Hui examined the system description.

As it turned out, this was a rune summarized by ancient cultivators after observing the textures of heavenly lightning branded onto various objects.

Similarly, there were cloud seals, worm seals, dragon seals, and so on, alongside tadpole scripts and phoenix scripts...

All these different characters harbored power.

By mastering this skill, he could use the Thunder Seal to draw talismans, craft artifacts, attack, defend, and set up formations...

It could be considered an all-purpose skill applicable in every aspect.

While not overwhelmingly powerful, it was certainly not weak either.

After all, heavenly lightning was the ultimate embodiment of hardness and yang; such power was extremely difficult for humans to capture and wield.

Yet the Thunder Seal could harness the power of heavenly lightning.

Its might would still be quite considerable!

"It seems that even when facing Li Syaoran's signature skill—'The Imperial Thunder Summoning'—I will have a much better grasp..."

Ye Hui smiled.

Once Syaoran appeared, they might actually have a chance to clash in Tomoeda.

At that time, he could see whether the thunder arts of the Chinese Li family or the thunder-attribute spells of an immortal cultivator were more powerful!

"This has truly been a bountiful harvest!"

After sorting through the items he had unboxed, and thinking of these generous rewards, Ye Hui could not help but sigh with emotion.

This might genuinely be the influence of the cute king's fortune lending him a helping hand.

Following that, the thought struck him once more.

Perhaps, right from the beginning, he should have stuck close to Sakura to draw rewards!

If he had done that, even single draws might have produced miracles!

"Alas! I completely failed to think of this earlier!"

Ye Hui felt deeply regretful.

Over the past entire month, he had actually missed out on so many good things.

It was only at this moment that they finally belonged to him.

Sigh~

"Forget it. As Zhuangzi said, a sage errs without regret. At worst, I'll just use Sakura's luck for future draws; it's not like those couple of missed opportunities make all the difference!"

Ye Hui relaxed.

Previously, he had always worried about encountering BUG-level Clow Cards that he wouldn't be able to handle, forcing him to remain on the sidelines just holding Tomoyo's camera.

Now, his strength had finally surged forward.

A wave of security welled up in his heart.

"System, use the Intermediate Artifact Crafter's Notes, use the Intermediate Talisman Master's Notes..."

Ye Hui began to receive the knowledge infusion for the two advanced skills.

In an instant, countless pieces of knowledge flooded into his mind...

[Advancement successful! You have become an "Intermediate Artifact Crafter" and an "Intermediate Talisman Master"...]

The next day, the classmates who had been injured on the back mountain were all recovering successively.

Last night, after talking with his older brother Toya about their mother, comforted by Toya's rare gentleness, Sakura had finally cast aside her gloomy mood.

In fact, she kept wanting to know if Ye Hui could divine the future to see if her mother would descend to watch over her on her birthday...

"I'm just an ordinary immortal cultivator, not Clow Reed who can foresee the next several hundred years..."

Faced with Sakura's request, Ye Hui naturally refused.

He was merely a man who had watched a portion of the plot. How could he possibly predict the future?

Unless one day he could acquire divine abilities or skills related to future prediction... or sub-professions like divination master or prophet.

"Eh, Ye-kun, I feel like you seem very relaxed today,ie?"

Seeing that even Ye Hui's temperament had changed, Tomoyo asked with curiosity.

Naturally, Ye Hui had no intention of hiding it from them—especially Tomoyo.

"My strength has advanced by leaps and bounds. On the path of immortal cultivation, I've finally taken flight!"

At lunchtime, facing the gazes of Tomoyo and Sakura, Ye Hui said calmly.

Kero was also present. Hearing these words, he poked his head right out of Sakura's backpack, revealing a round, yellowish, oversized head.

"Your strength has advanced greatly? Then why don't you put on a little demonstration?"

Looking at Ye Hui, Sakura's face was full of curiosity as well.

"Ye Hui-kun, which aspect of you has become stronger?"

Tomoyo remained silent, but she blinked her dark purple eyes as she stared at Ye Hui, clearly eager to understand how his abilities had changed.
