Because he recently helped Wu Er develop the Conjuration-type Nen ability, he has a deep understanding of the complexity of Conjuration-type Nen abilities.

But because of this, he had another idea: "Since it's so brain-intensive, why not just have an extra brain?"

"Huh?" Little Drop was puzzled.

"Are you planning to go from town to town looking for this so-called Leiza?" Bisky, who was walking ahead, suddenly asked.

“Hmm…” Jing Yang pondered for a moment, “That’s a good question, I need to think about it carefully.”

"You're only just starting to think about it?!"

-

"...That's about it. Anyway, Xiao Shi and I drifted to a coast of Greed Island and ran into Lei Zha as soon as we landed. He eventually used an administrator card to expel us and teleported to another continent. He was obviously the administrator of this game."

In a corner of the restaurant, Jingyang ate and said, "In short, we don't need to look for every town. We just need to look along the coastline for places that look like the terrain where Xiaodi and I landed, and where there are towns nearby."

“This island is quite big,” Bisky reminded him, taking a bite of her dessert as she did so.

Xiao Di said, "Wouldn't it be better to get a map of the entire island?"

Jingyang said, "I don't know if they have any."

None of the three looked around, but they were all fully aware of the players who entered the restaurant one after another, quietly sitting down or lying in ambush.

Jing Yang's aura remained calm and still, but due to the concealed gazes coming from all directions, the surface of the aura rippled like tiny dust particles being thrown in. This clever little trick taught by Bisky was incredibly useful, making up for his lack of experience in the martial world.

Twenty minutes later, the other five players, their eyes glazed over and mouths agape, were piled up at the restaurant entrance, their card collection books completely swept away.

"You don't have a complete map either?" Jing Yang disappointedly tossed the sixth player who tried to use a spell card on them to the ground, and discreetly left a rose-gold pentagram mark on the other's chin skin, just like the other five who had already passed out.

If I remember correctly, there's a minimum number of players required to trigger the quest in the city where Leizha is located.

Jingyang scratched his head.

Behind him, Bisky and Droplet were huddled together, heads touching, dividing up the loot cards.

Jingyang asked, "Is there a blue planet?"

Bisky said disappointedly, "No. But there are tons of spell cards."

"There's also a lot of trash like stones by the roadside," Xiao Di said.

Jing Yang glanced around, and some of the hidden gazes in the crowd quickly shifted away and quietly left.

A small gray bird circled high above their heads. Jingyang pointed into the distance, and the gray bird flew away like an arrow.

Bisky glanced at it: "You're not going to have it fly around the coastline, are you?"

"We'll have to resort to brute force." Jingyang walked out of town, "Flying along, leaving marks as we go..."

"mark?"

Bisky and Shizuku followed in his footsteps. After they left, the six players who had been unconscious at the restaurant entrance suddenly opened their eyes, startling the passersby and restaurant NPCs who came to check on them. However, all six of them remained silent and did not look at each other, each walking away in a different direction without looking back.

-

While Yan Que was using exhaustive search to navigate along the various coastal towns of Greed Island—Jing Yang remembered that Lei Zha's lair seemed to be a lighthouse by the sea, which was good, as it eliminated some more locations—the three of them arrived at the wilderness outside the city and found a grove of trees that looked quite scenic and had decent terrain, to continue their training.

Jingyang stretched out his left hand and released a chaotic ball of energy the size of two arms, which flew towards Xiaodi. Xiaodi then put her hand into the chaotic ball of energy and tried to materialize a bulging-eyed fish.

Because Jingyang currently has quite good aptitude in the field of emission, he will soon be able to maintain this chaotic energy cloud remotely to assist Xiaodi's cultivation. He is also pondering his emission-type Nen ability... Just like what he told Xiaodi before, to create a second brain, his first instinct for emission-type ability is undoubtedly "Nen Beast".

He already had a basic idea for his release-type Nen beast.

It's like spending ten days or half a month mentally preparing, practicing meditation, and quietly modeling it in my mind. Now I can't wait to start sketching it out.

Jingyang stretched out his right hand and released a ball of energy, which gradually condensed into a human shape in front of him.

Chapter 244 Taoist Nun

Although the ball of energy released by Jingyang's right hand gradually took on a human shape, it was still an emitted Nen beast rather than a materialized clone, and therefore still belonged to the category of Nen that ordinary people could not see with their naked eyes.

However, Bisky and Xiao Di naturally had no such doubts. Even Xiao Di, with her long-cultivated eyesight, could see clearly and vividly the process of Jing Yang's human form gradually becoming clearer with the slightest thought.

This humanoid figure had no facial features; its entire face was a uniform shade of blue-jade, as if it were wearing a blue-jade mask. Only its eyes had two slanted, crimson lines that seemed to be half-open and half-closed. It had a full head of long white hair, which was casually tied into a messy bun at the back of its head with a hairpin that looked like a tree branch.

The hazy spiritual energy below the head also quickly solidified under Jing Yang's command. The overall height seemed to be around 1.8 meters, just like Jing Yang himself. Soon, even the clothes were clearly sculpted. The reason why it looked rough and huge was because this jade-faced humanoid was wearing a light blue robe. Apart from that, there were no other decorations on its body. The large sleeves fluttered, and it stood alone, giving people a sense of indifference and detachment from the world.

Bisky sized up the Nen beast and clicked her tongue, saying, "It's in female form!"

Jingyang said, "Even when I play games, I always only create female characters, at least they're pleasing to the eye!"

"Isn't Little Drop pleasing to the eye enough?" Bisky chuckled mischievously.

Xiao Di had a question mark above her head. Jing Yang also said, "Auntie, please mind your manners and don't try to sow discord with malicious intent."

As he spoke, he examined the spirit beast dressed as a Taoist nun in front of him, feeling that something was missing from the image. He thought it would be better to finish the character creation process in one go. After observing for a while, he snapped his fingers, and two lines of calligraphy slowly appeared on the plain white collar of the pale blue Taoist nun's robe: "The river flows beyond heaven and earth, the mountain colors exist in the midst of nothingness."

"Okay! Done!"

Jing Yang nodded in satisfaction, raised his hand and flicked it from a distance, as if manipulating a holographic image. The jade-faced Daoist nun in front of him immediately began to spin in place, allowing him to admire her from all 360 degrees.

Bisky asked, "Does it have a name?"

Jingyang said, "Let's call him Zhenyuanzi."

"Huh?" Xiao Di was surprised. This was the alias Jing Yang used when he was in the Sky Arena.

"Huh? What?" Bisky asked.

Jing Yang smiled and said, "I first started thinking about this Nen Beast when I was in the Sky Arena. At that time, I was thinking about the basic abilities it should have, but to develop those abilities, I need your help, Xiao Di..."

"What kind of ability is it?" Bisky asked.

Xiao Di looked down at the bulging-eyed fish vacuum cleaner in her hand and said thoughtfully, "Oh, I see."

"You two, stop talking nonsense!" Bisky angrily threw a left and right hook, sending Jingyang and Xiaodi flying. Of course, given their skills, and Bisky's lack of real force, they simply somersaulted and landed lightly a short distance away. Jingyang chuckled from afar, "It's nothing, just a little trick called 'Sleeve Universe.' Anyway, the Nen Beast is only in its basic form; its specific abilities still need to be developed gradually..."

Not only the "Hidden Universe in the Sleeve" ability, but also the ability that Jingyang is planning to use to make the jade-faced Daoist nun "Zhen Yuanzi" act as his second brain, needs to be carefully considered and deliberated. So far, the ability framework that Jingyang has set for this thought beast is based on these two abilities.

“A time-space type ability.” Bisky guessed most of it as soon as she heard the phrase “hidden power in a sleeve,” and nodded in agreement. “It fits well with the Emission type, not bad. You said you needed Shizuku’s help—oh, her vacuum cleaner is a similar type.”

Jingyang held up one finger. "So, the first rule of 'Hidden Universe in a Sleeve' will be—'It can only hold living things.'"

Xiao Di suddenly realized. Her bulging-eyed fish could only absorb inanimate objects. If Jing Yang's ability as a spirit beast was successfully developed, it would perfectly complement her vacuum cleaner ability!

Bisky smiled and said, "No rush, take your time."

There was no rush. It would take some time for Rock Sparrow to fly around the entire coastline of Greed Island anyway, so Jingyang and the others focused on their training. Xiaodi practiced her Conjuration-type Bulbasaur for a while, then her Transmutation-type Nen Chain Saw for a while, while also practicing her Nen basics. Jingyang, on the other hand, focused most of his energy on perfecting the Jade-Faced Taoist's Nen beast abilities, occasionally asking Xiaodi about her experience using Bulbasaur, or, with Xiaodi's help, activating the star mark on her body to experience it firsthand from a first-person perspective…

As for Bisky, she was sometimes seen reading magazines nearby, and sometimes she disappeared without a trace, probably off playing somewhere. Given her personality, she was probably out there acting cute and teasing other players who were passing by... Fortunately, with Little Drop around, they didn't need to worry too much about food. The bulging-eyed fish always had a considerable amount of food and water stored inside. During this period of focused training, neither Jingyang nor Little Drop cared about their appetites; they were content as long as they filled their stomachs.

Two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, Jing Yang would activate the star mark when he received a signal from Yan Que. He would then possess and project the star mark onto the "Jing Yan Que" ship. After boarding the ship, he would use the star mark ability through Yan Que's body to mark any players or wild animals that were stepping on or passing by in the coastal town with the lighthouse where he was located. After that, Jing Yang would withdraw his consciousness and focus on developing and perfecting the Nen Beast in his hands.

Therefore, the Rockbird dragged its feet, flying around Greed Island for another three or four days before finally completing its mission.

There are eight fishing villages or towns by the sea, and the lighthouse can be seen from near or far. Therefore, "Jingyan Que" left eight star marks in these eight towns. Seven of them were players who didn't look very smart and passed by. The other one was a stray cat that passed by. In short, it was just a signal source to help Jingyang locate and guide him. It didn't matter.

Jingyang left Yanque to play on her own in the eighth lighthouse town and then withdrew his projected consciousness.

"Wait, Leizha, I'm coming," he said. It wasn't that he was petty, but the card Leizha was in charge of was extremely rare. Once he got that card, he could easily trade it with other players to Blue Planet, and he could also have a go at Leizha, that squinty-eyed dog of a manager. Why not?

Not long after, a tiger leaped out of the woods; it was none other than Wu Er, who had been allowed to roam freely in the forest these past few days.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a loud noise startled Wu Er. He turned around and saw that it was Xiao Di who had wielded a ten-meter-long chain saw and cut a boulder the size of a small mountain in half.

Bisky stood atop the boulder, and as the boulder slid down from its half-cut, she lightly jumped down. Looking at the Nen saw chain in Shizuku's hand, she said, "A sharp, cutting saw chain... As a Transmutation-type Nen, its power is truly remarkable! Judging from my observation, that attack just now, in terms of pure destructive force, was probably four or five times the 'hardness' of your own body!"

In other words, with a total Nen amount of around 24,000, Shizuku's "Steel" strength is about 2400. So, according to Bisky's earlier statement, the Nen saw chain she swung can break through the "Steel" of an enemy with a strength of around 10,000 Nen. That means that at Shizuku's current level, if she were to stand still and attack, she could completely break the defense of an enemy with a total Nen amount of 100,000.

Bisky said, "But that's only the ideal situation. Your chain saw clearly has a length limit, right?"

Little Drop admitted, "Yes, the longest is when there's only one, about 12 meters. There can be a maximum of 12, with an average length of 1 meter."

Bisky analyzed, "Then if it's a long-range enemy, the effectiveness of your Nen Saw Chain will be very limited. And even if it's a close-range enemy, even if your Nen Saw Chain has enough destructive power, it will still be very dangerous if you can't keep up with the speed at which you swing the Nen Saw Chain."

Xiao Di thought about it for a while and nodded in deep agreement.

"Where's that young master over there?" Bisky asked loudly without turning her head. "How's your Nen Beast Girl development going?"

"How old are you? Why are you still telling dirty jokes?"

Jing Yang's voice came from behind, "Biskey."

"Ok?"

Bisky sensed Jingyang releasing the mind beast that was approaching her. She had just responded when everything in front of her suddenly went black, as if she had fallen into an endless void.

Xiao Di saw the jade-faced Taoist-robed spirit beast approach Bisji from behind, raise its left robe to her, and after Jing Yang called Bisji's name and Bisji responded, Bisji transformed into a ball of spiritual energy and flew into the Taoist nun's flowing left sleeve.

Chapter 245 Perfect

After waiting for a full half hour, the Nian Beast Daoist nun waved her left sleeve again, and a ball of Nian energy flew out from the sleeve, landing and transforming into Bisji.

Bisky paused for a moment, then her face fell as she turned to look back.

"Wait, wait, wait!" Jingyang raised his hand.

In that instant, Jing Yang seemed to see a sleeping primordial beast awaken... No, not just seemed, Bisky really transformed into a humanoid beast! Bisky grew taller on the spot, her muscles bulged, and astonishing bursts of Nen energy surged around her, an intense aura that was almost like an eruption, exuding a ferocious and terrifying aura.

Wu Er immediately bristled, arched his body, and let out a wary growl.

"Calm down!" Jing Yang waved his hand and said, "Calm down, Auntie Bi! Master Bi! Jewel Princess! Sailor Moon!"

Little Drop tightly gripped the bulging-eyed fish, watching helplessly as Bisky's appearance drastically changed, transforming into a perfectly proportioned figure nearly two meters tall, with long arms and muscles that seemed to be cast from steel, containing unimaginable explosive power... But this image was like an illusion, appearing and disappearing in an instant, and Bisky returned to her original petite and adorable princess-like appearance.

It's like Uncle Jie has turned evil... Jingyang thought to himself, wiping away cold sweat.

"Sailor Moon?" Bisky raised an eyebrow, looking smugly pleased with herself. Then, adopting a masterly demeanor, she sternly poked Jingyang's chest with her index finger, scolding, "Don't test other people's Nen abilities so casually!"

Jing Yang felt a sharp pain in his chest from being poked, and dared not put on a strong defense. He argued, "I was just simulating a real battle..."

"The actual combat situation? If it's an actual combat situation, how do you know I don't have any trigger-based countermeasures?" Bisji thrust even faster, forcing Jing Yang to retreat step by step. "If it triggers an irreversible consequence, you'll have nowhere to cry. Even the best swimmers drown! Guess what kind of Nen user is most likely to fall into the trap of rule-based Nen abilities? That's right, it's Nen users who are also rule-based!"

Jingyang said, "I haven't answered yet..."

"Huh?!" Bisky's forehead veins throbbed as she looked up angrily.
