Chapter 256: Chapter 214: Returning to the Ancient Simulation Again_2

“They’re all advanced levels and still normal versions… How strong would the non-normal version be!”

However, Vincent Wolf clearly couldn’t learn any more advanced skills, and he even found the normal version of recorded skills somewhat overwhelming.

Avril, who was beside him, looked at Vincent Wolf’s deep frown and struggling expression with some confusion, as though she didn’t understand why he was finding something so simple so difficult.

Suddenly, it seemed as if Avril had a moment of enlightenment, and took out a small pill from her clothes pocket, directly stuffing it into Vincent Wolf’s plump body.

At that moment, Vincent Wolf who was intently studying the tome’s techniques, felt something added to his body that immediately cleared his mind, allowing his thoughts to race at tens of times their normal speed. All the questions, confusion, and bottlenecks before him were instantly resolved – it was simply exhilarating!

In just a few short minutes, Vincent Wolf had grasped the basics of this advanced water technique, almost reaching a proficient level.

“Amazing! Simply amazing!”

Muttering to himself, Vincent Wolf couldn’t help but release the newly learned advanced technique.

In an instant, weak water gushed from his body, rapidly forming a jet-black water serpent that enveloped him.

Although the density and surface details of the serpent were not perfect, its power was still very formidable, and its first release was incredibly successful.

“Weak water! ”

“It’s really weak water!”

Logically, Vincent Wolf’s strength was only at the transcendent realm, and both Avril and the nearby overlord-level sea snake were extremely powerful. No matter what technique Vincent used, it shouldn’t bother them.

But the two of them, as if facing a formidable enemy, involuntarily called out in astonishment, a hint of fear in their voices. Seeing the water serpent, the sea snake quickly wrapped Avril up and retreated several hundred meters away, staring at Vincent Wolf with a solemn expression.

However, after just two seconds, the sea snake relaxed and returned to Vincent Wolf’s side, using its tail to disperse the water serpent he had formed and wrapping him up in its coils.

Just moments ago, Vincent Wolf was enthralled by the power of the water serpent, but before he knew it, he was bound and stared at by the sea snake with its terrifying gaze, nearly scared to death.

“What is this…?” Vincent Wolf cautiously asked. “Speak,” the sea snake stared at him intently.

“Um, what should I say?”

“How did you come to possess weak water? Although this weak water is a mere shadow of the real thing, with not even one ten-thousandth of its power, it’s not something an ordinary water creature can obtain!”

The sea snake stared at Vincent Wolf suspiciously, deep confusion and regret in her eyes.

Vincent Wolf looked at the sea snake’s expression, thinking that if he said a single wrong word today, he’d be done for.

After cursing his luck in silence, Vincent directly spat out the Ruakshui Core.

“Well, I just happened to come across this, uh, thing. I shouldn’t be breaking any laws… If I’m not supposed to have it, I’ll give it to you,” Vincent Wolf hastily explained after spitting it out, not wanting to be involved in any way.

“A Ruakshui Core? How could such a weakling get something like this?”

The sea snake threw Vincent Wolf to the ground, then carefully touched the Ruakshui Core with its tail. After finding nothing unusual, the sea snake picked it up with its tail and examined it closely.

“This Ruakshui Core is far too weak, it’s as if it’s been sitting around for tens or hundreds of thousands of years, and has only the slightest bit of power left.”

The sea snake was somewhat speechless, returning the weak Ruakshui Core to Vincent Wolf and closing her eyes.

Just two minutes after the sea snake closed her eyes, the big turtle walked in.

“Snake princess, you said you found a Ruakshui Core, is it true?”

As soon as he entered, the big turtle asked the sea snake seriously.

“Turtle Chancellor, check it out.”

The snake princess used her tail to point at the Ruakshui Core beside Vincent wolf.

The Turtle Chancellor was startled at first, then picked up the core and examined it carefully, marveling at it.

“I’ve lived for thousands of years, but this is the first time I’ve seen such a weak Ruakshui Core.”

“It came from this strange creature you brought here. If it weren’t for the technique he just used, I wouldn’t have noticed the core inside him.”

“What?!”

The Turtle Chancellor was startled again and looked at Vincent Wolf with a hint of lingering fear. “I originally thought that it was just a weak creature with a good appearance, but I didn’t expect it to have such a background.”

Avril somehow walked up to Turtle Chancellor, and angrily said while pulling on big turtle’s beard:

“Well, well, you old turtle, didn’t you say that Vincent was an extraterrestrial crystal? How come now you are saying that he’s just a weak creature with a good appearance!”

Turtle Chancellor, knowing that he had let it slip, could only smile appeasingly at Avril:

“Eh, eh, little princess, don’t pull it. It was a slip of the tongue by the old minister. This Ruakshui Core is not something that any creature can have!”

Immediately, Turtle Chancellor turned to Vincent with a pleasant expression and said:

“Have you joined any faction?”

“I haven’t.” Vincent replied.

“Then, what do you think of our Dragon Palace?” Turtle Chancellor continued.

“It’s very powerful.” Vincent spoke the truth.

“Well, I am now inviting you to join the Dragon Palace. What do you think?” “Huh? Am I not already a part of the Dragon Palace?” Vincent was confused.

The Turtle Chancellor was taken aback.

Thinking that since you were treated as a pet before, you really took yourself for an onion?

“Cough cough, you were only a temporary worker before. Now we are formally inviting you. Don’t worry, our Dragon Palace is a righteous force. The Ruakshui Core is yours, and we won’t take it from you.”

Vincent was overjoyed.

Originally, he was just a temporary worker. Now he can upgrade to a full-time employee, and even a position with a set allocation. Wasn’t this a great thing!

“I’m willing! Of course, I’m willing!”

Upon hearing Vincent’s agreement, the Turtle Chancellor took out a token from his pocket. The front of the token had the words “Dragon Palace,” and the back had the character “Officer.”

“From today on, you are officially appointed as the Chief Playmate of the

Dragon Palace Princess, holding the Official Sixth Rank, and serving as Officer.

You can use the token to command ten soldiers and have access to the Dragon

Palace.”

Having said that, the Turtle Chancellor handed the token to Vincent.

Vincent’s eyes sparkled, and he swallowed the token immediately.

He actually became an officer!

And he can command ten soldiers!

You should know that soldiers are led by leaders, and now he can manage ten at once!

Most importantly, he can use the token to find Jack and let him know who the boss is now!

Turtle Chancellor nodded, exchanged glances with the snake princess, and then left.

Under Vincent’s excellent mood, he was suddenly inspired and began to speak.

As soon as they heard Vincent start to tell a story, Avril and the snake princess were delighted, and they immediately held their breaths and quietly listened attentively at the side.

“Patriarch said, ‘There are 360 side paths in the word ‘dao,’ and each side path has its own result. Which one do you want to learn?’ Lydia replied, ‘I will follow the respected Master’s intention. I will listen with all my heart.’ The patriarch said, ‘I will teach you a ‘technique’ from the word ‘dao.’ How about that?”‘

“Lydia asked, ‘What is the technique like?’ The patriarch replied, ‘In the technique, there are some summonings, divinations, and the ability to know how to avoid evil and pursue good.’ Lydia asked, ‘Can you achieve longevity with that?’ The patriarch answered, ‘No, you can’t!’ Lydia responded, ‘I won’t learn it! I won’t learn it!”‘

In Vincent’s narrative, the Bodhi Patriarch soon asked Lydia about the “static” and “dynamic” methods, but Lydia said she wouldn’t learn either of them.

Snake princess couldn’t help it, she was obviously lost in thought.

“What is this ‘dao’ you mentioned anyway? To avoid evil and to pursue good, to calm oneself and to close oneself off, and to refine elixirs with formulas these are already extremely precious techniques, yet this monkey is not moved?”

“The ‘dao’ cannot be named or described, and there are as many interpretations as there are people. Moreover, although these techniques are valuable, if they cannot lead to longevity, they are merely minor paths.”

Vincent first explained, then Avril, unhappy with the snake princess interrupting Vincent’s story, said to the snake princess with a pout: “Snake Auntie, don’t interrupt Vincent, I still want to keep listening to the story.” Snake princess looked at Avril indulgently and then said to Vincent: “Alright, you go on..”
