Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 253 The difference in talent is like an insurmountable chasm; the Holy Lord's strength at his peak...

Although the two spiritual tides awakened supernatural abilities in more than a third of the world's population, countless ordinary people are still excluded from the extraordinary world.

The shop owner is one of them.

As an ordinary person, how could he not yearn for the extraordinary?

Every time he saw those superhumans, holders of celestial treasures, and mutated creatures fighting, he couldn't help but fantasize: how wonderful it would be if he could also possess such power.

Moreover, even if they awaken their superpowers, the difference in talent is like an insurmountable chasm.

Some people can possess considerable power after awakening their special abilities, and with further development, they can break through to the third tier after a period of time; however, some people, due to their average talent, can only linger at the first or second tier no matter how much they develop their abilities.

Compared to superpowers that rely solely on talent and resources, Devil Fruits, these celestial treasures that require almost no development to grant considerable combat power, are clearly more appealing.

It is especially precious among Devil Fruits, being a Logia-type Devil Fruit.

Even though the Snow-Snow Fruit is not as strong as the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Glint-Glint Fruit, or Magma-Magma Fruit, it is by no means weaker than the Flame-Flame Fruit or the Smoke-Smoke Fruit, and has extremely high potential and strength.

Ye Xuan was silent for a moment when he saw how readily he agreed.

If he hadn't known the disparity in value between these items and talismans, he would have thought he was the one who lost money.

After a moment of silence, Ye Xuan spoke:

"So, the deal is done?"

"Established!"

The shop owner answered without hesitation, his eyes gleaming with excitement; but then, somewhat embarrassed, he scratched his head and tentatively asked:

"Um, Ye Shen, besides being the owner of this shop, I'm also a short video blogger. Can I share my experience today online?"

Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly, then smiled calmly: "Okay."

He didn't care.

With his current fame, he would cause a huge uproar wherever he appears.

The reason he was able to walk into this small shop so calmly this time was not only because Doflamingo's Conqueror's Haki stunned everyone on the street, but also because he slightly influenced the perceptions of the people around him along the way with his mental power, making them mistakenly believe that he was just an ordinary person.

Although Ye Xuan is not a specialist in illusion techniques, with his current mental strength, achieving this level of cognitive interference is effortless.

Once you reach a certain level of strength, you will naturally master some things even without deliberately learning them.

After completing the transaction, Ye Xuan left. The shop owner watched Ye Xuan's departing figure, still feeling a deep and unsettling shock.

He looked down at the Snow Fruit in his hand and the porcelain bottle containing the life-extending energy pills, and suddenly felt a sense of unreality.

Just an hour ago, he was just an ordinary person who barely managed to open a shop in Hangzhou. Now, he not only obtained a Logia-type Devil Fruit, but also gained enough lifespan to extend the lives of his loved ones by at least a thousand years.

What he gave up was merely an opportunity that never belonged to him.

"This price is far too lenient."

The shop owner muttered to himself that although the dog and horse talismans were valuable, he didn't know that these two talismans had been transformed from figurines into celestial treasures. If someone wanted to buy them later, he would definitely sell them at the price of figurines.

How much does a talisman figurine cost? Those things are made of stone, and because the talismans in anime aren't very refined, they don't need to be polished too much, so the cost is only a few dollars.

He only sells them for twenty yuan each, so two would only cost forty yuan.

For something worth forty yuan, he reaped such a huge return. He even felt that if he hadn't spoken up quickly, Ye Shen might have given him something else.

Is it a pity? Not at all.

It is enough.

Ye Shen has already given more than enough in return.

If he doesn't even get this, then he's being far too greedy.

As his thoughts drifted away, the shop owner suddenly thought of a question.

If we include the Rat Talisman, Ye Shen should have collected all three talismans by now.

According to the anime, the one who collects all twelve talismans should possess all of Shendu's power. Well, how should I put it? It seems that with Ye Shen's current breakthrough to the sixth rank and his unfathomable potential, by the time he truly collects all the talismans, his own strength will have already surpassed Shendu's, right?
Did the Holy Lord at his peak reach the seventh or eighth rank? In any case, it couldn't be higher.

And then there was Ye Shen's effortless way of condensing life energy into a pill, as if he had only done something trivial.

Is this a natural ability that comes with reaching a certain level of strength, or has Ye Shen awakened some kind of superpower, or does he possess other unknown treasures from the heavens?
Is life energy so easily condensed? Is the condensed life energy one's own or from heaven and earth?
He immediately dismissed the dog talisman, as it didn't seem to possess such an ability.

But as he thought about it, he shook his head.

Forget it, even if he wanted to know, he wouldn't be able to find out. Besides, knowing too much about some things isn't a good thing.

The most urgent task now is to eat the Snow-Snow Fruit, familiarize myself with its abilities, and then...
The shop owner's gaze shifted to the family photo behind the counter. The gentle smile of his wife and the happy eyes of his two children in the photo warmed his heart.

He carefully kept the longevity pill close to his body, deciding to give his family an unforgettable surprise tonight.

The shop owner hummed a little tune, happily preparing to close up shop. Today was truly his lucky day; not only had he obtained the extraordinary power he had always dreamed of, but he could also extend his entire family's lifespan by a thousand years. Just thinking about the envious and jealous reactions of his fans after he posted the video online made him want to laugh.

"Hehe, the click rate will definitely explode!"

He hummed a song as he pushed open the door, only to freeze in shock at the sight before him. Unconscious pedestrians lay scattered haphazardly on the street, and more than a dozen ambulances flashed their glaring lights as paramedics busily carried the unconscious onto stretchers.

"What...what's going on?"

The shop owner's eyes widened.

At this moment, a staff member wearing the uniform of the Tian Shu Bureau noticed him and showed a surprised expression:

"Huh? There's actually one who's still awake?"

The man strode over and said in a serious tone:
"Sir, although you seem fine now, I still recommend that you go to the hospital for a check-up. We don't fully understand the effects of Conqueror's Haki on the human mind."

"Overlord and domineering?"

The shop owner looked bewildered.

"Doflamingo from the One Piece world just happened to arrive here."

"Don't worry, all examination costs will be covered by the Tian Shu Bureau."

The members of the Tian Shu Bureau first explained the origin of Conqueror's Haki, and then, thinking he was worried about medical expenses, added something else.

The shop owner then realized what had happened.

So, the Doflamingo who attracted everyone in his shop was real? And he was knocked unconscious by Conqueror's Haki, but Ye Shen took care of him afterwards, and it seems that his body was also healed along the way?
"No need, I feel fine."

The shop owner waved his hand, saying he was in a hurry to eat the Snow-Snow Fruit and then find a place to practice its abilities; he didn't have time to go to the hospital.

The members of the Tian Shu Bureau looked at him with some confusion.

"Are you sure?"

"Although according to the anime setting, Conqueror's Haki usually only makes people faint, our physical abilities are still different from those of the people in the One Piece world."

"It's alright, Ye Shen healed me."

After the shop owner finished speaking, before the Tian Shu Bureau members could react, he slammed the shop door shut with a "bang," his movements so fast it was as if he was afraid the other party would forcibly drag him to the hospital.

The members of the Tian Shu Bureau stood there, dumbfounded, staring at the tightly closed shop door. After a long while, they finally managed to stammer out:
"what?"

The training room at the Imperial Capital's Tian Shu Headquarters is a closed structure, made of special materials, capable of withstanding the full force of a third-tier powerhouse's attack. It is one of the technologies derived from studying some of the technologies provided by the angels.

At this moment, Rose is training in the training room.

She wore a black sports vest and tight training pants, which perfectly outlined her powerful body curves; as she moved, the smooth muscle lines of her back were faintly visible, and her firm waist and abdomen rose and fell slightly with her breathing.

Sweat slid down her slender neck, lingered briefly at her collarbone, and finally dripped onto the training ground.

"call"

Suddenly, Rose teleported and appeared ten meters away in front of the sandbag. She raised her right leg high, drawing a sharp arc in the air, and kicked the sandbag heavily.

The specially made sandbags made a dull thud, and the echo of the blow reverberated throughout the training ground.

Lena leaned lazily against the wall, a lollipop dangling from her mouth.

She was wearing a loose sweatshirt and hot pants, her two long, fair legs casually crossed. Seeing Qiangwei drenched in sweat, she couldn't help but complain:

"I'm saying, isn't this training intensity a bit too extreme?"

"This sandbag was specially made for the third-tier superhumans of this world. It feels like even second-generation super soldiers would have a hard time breaking it. You've almost kicked it to pieces."

Rose, slightly out of breath, raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead and said softly:
"My strength is too weak. Even if I come to a new world, my original world's Blue Star will not be in danger for a short time, so I cannot let my guard down."

Lena rolled her eyes.

"Please, you're a super soldier with spacetime genes. Even without training, your physical strength far surpasses that of an ordinary Divine River Body, okay?"

"Besides, we are different from the people of this world. What the divine bodies need are resources and technology."

"Exercise is actually not very effective for us."

"The reason we trained you so hard before was simply because we didn't have the resources or technology to provide you, so we could only train you to be soldiers."

Lena's words made Rose pause slightly, but she quickly continued training, her voice calm and firm:
"So, without resources or technology, all I could do was train like crazy."

"Moreover, the spiritual energy of this world did not resist integrating into my body because I came from another world."

“I can feel them gradually merging into my body, and as my will to absorb them grows, the amount of them merging into my body also increases.”
