"I'm sorry, Master, I was wrong." Jingyang stood at attention.

Little Shizuku, who was already quite far away, raised her hand curiously and asked, "Excuse me, what was that Bisky doing just now? Was that your Nen ability, Bisky?"

"Huh?!" Bisky suddenly turned around and looked at Xiaodi with Jingyang, and then Jingyang and Xiaodi looked at Bisky together.

Bisky glanced at the Jingyang's jade-faced Daoist nun 'Zhen Yuanzi' who was standing still, and corrected her, "You've got it backwards. It's not about what happened to me just now, but what happened to me now."

Little Droplet paused for a moment, then understood: "Oh right, Bisky, you're quite old. The form you were in just now was your true form. The one before us is the result of your Nen ability..."

Bisky said nonchalantly, "When I was young, I also cultivated according to the shape of the Chinese character '山' (mountain). The changes in my body are roughly the result of cultivating on the materialization side."

"Oh?" Little Drop blinked.

Bisky said, "Didn't I say that I'm a Transmuter?"

"Transmutation is my innate talent." She extended her right hand, gloved in white, and slowly clenched it into a fist. "Enhancement is my obsession as a martial artist. And Conjuration..." She flashed an incredibly cute smile, making a very idol-like peace sign, "...at least it satisfies my girlish heart, doesn't it?"

"How old are you—" Before Jing Yang could finish speaking, he was sent flying twenty meters away by a punch whose trajectory was unpredictable.

Lying on the ground, Jingyang thought to himself that Bisky, as a veteran miner, might be the first gem she ever sculpted.

The fierce and unparalleled martial arts fighters of the JO series are like indestructible diamonds.

The petite and adorable little princess is like a dazzling and gorgeous ruby.

The ability to perfectly complement both gems is Bisky's beautician Nen ability—her beautician Nen can transform ki into special Nen oil, which can not only provide perfect beauty and skincare but also relieve the fatigue of training, enhancing strength with several times the efficiency of ordinary people through hard work.

Thinking about it this way, Bisky's Nen ability is truly simple and perfect.

"So, the ability of your Nen Beast is that once you call its name and it responds, you can suck it into your sleeve?" Bisky's voice came.

“That’s right.” Jing Yang flipped over and jumped up, dusting himself off. “After all, it seems like some of the training was rushed, and the limitations on his abilities have increased one by one without him even realizing it.”

Bisky examined the Jade-Faced Daoist nun's mind beast, thought for a moment, and concluded, "Distance. There are also limitations to the release distance—if you want to capture a target, your mind beast must get close to it."

Jingyang smiled and said, "It only works within one meter of the target."

“It’s an Emission-type ability, but the activation condition is close range,” Bisky shook her head. “I don’t know what to say!”

Jing Yang corrected, "It's just that when using 'Sleeve Universe,' you have to be close to the target—the advantage of this spirit beast as an emission type is that there is basically no distance restriction between it and me."

Bisky shook her head: "Think about it again."

Jing Yang thought for a moment and said, "Oh right, my current cultivation level in releasing the element is not high, so the distance is still limited—it can only be within 2.5 kilometers of me at most. Within this range, I can use the spirit beast freely."

According to Bisky's original five-level rating system for training, the five levels in the Emission type are: being able to emit ki 10 meters away and maintain its power is the entry-level level [1]; over 100 meters is [2]; over 1 kilometer is [3]; over 10 kilometers is [4]; Bisky didn't mention the fifth level, but based on the pattern, it should be over 100 kilometers. However, Jingyang speculates that if one trains the Emission type ability to the absolute limit, perhaps there will be no distance limitation...

Jingyang's current level of training in the Emission System is at the [Third] level. He can no longer maintain his power when his Qi leaves his body more than 2.5 kilometers away.

This Mind Beast Town Yuanzi is his Emission-type ability, and naturally it also follows his cultivation level in the Emission-type.

"If you have to call someone by their name, then it can only be used on humans?" Bisky asked again, but she quickly corrected herself, "No, pets can have names too... Ah, I see." She pondered for a moment and had her answer.

Jing Yang smiled slightly, and with a thought, the Beast-Beast Daoist Nun leaped into the air. She extended her left sleeve towards a passing bird and called out, "Hey! Bird!"

The bird, unable to see the nun, let out a startled squeak after hearing Jingyang's shout, and then suddenly transformed into a wisp of air and disappeared into the nun's left sleeve.

After gracefully landing, the Taoist nun swept towards Wu Er.

"Miserable Moon Tiger!" Jing Yang shouted.

Wu Er let out a low growl in agreement, but nothing happened.

Then Jingyang called out again, "Wu Er!"

Wu Er responded with a low roar again, this time transforming into a wisp of spiritual energy that disappeared into the deep sleeve of the Daoist nun's open left arm.

“Just as I thought.” Bisky nodded.

Xiao Di concluded, "Just like my bulging-eyed fish, its 'name' is based on Jing Yang's own understanding."

If Jingyang believes the other person has a name, then he must know and call out the other person's name in order to use "Sleeve Universe" to capture the other person; but if Jingyang does not believe the other person has a name, then even if he just shouts "Hey," the ability will still work.

Bisky also concluded: "This is actually a more strategic ability that is better used on allies than on enemies."

Jingyang then asked, "So, how do you feel? I waited half an hour before letting you out. What was it like being in my sleeve?"

"Half an hour?" Bisky was taken aback.

Chapter 246 There are traces to follow

Judging from Bisky's reaction, it's clear that the half hour Jingyang mentioned was not what she thought.

Bisky said, "I only felt the scenery change before my eyes, and in almost an instant, I was back. I thought you were scared and had given up your power after just a little test—"

Seeing Bisky's displeased look, Jingyang quickly said, "I've already admitted my mistake, don't bring up the past."

Little Drop asked, "Was it just a fleeting illusion by Bisky, or a real instant?"

Her words were a bit convoluted, but Siji was a seasoned veteran who had been roaming the world for many years, and she understood immediately. She nodded and said, "That's right. Whether I mistook half an hour for a moment, or whether time stopped on my body after you, my mind beast, took me into your sleeve, these are undoubtedly completely different concepts."

How do we test this?

Jing Yang looked around, then suddenly remembered something. He controlled the Daoist nun and gently flicked the sleeve of her left Daoist robe. A white light flew out from it, transforming into the passing bird that had just been captured.

He plucked a feather from the bird, and blood immediately seeped from the skin at the base. Taking advantage of the bird's pain and panic, Jingyang used the same trick again, calling it "little bird." The Daoist nun floated over, raised her left sleeve nearby, and once again transformed the bird into a ball of spiritual energy, absorbing it into her sleeve.

"After a while, we can tell whether it's inside the sleeve or whether time has stopped by observing the state of the blood droplets on its wound," Little Drop said.

Bisky said, "This Nen beast always uses its left sleeve to use its abilities. Did you intentionally leave other abilities for the right sleeve?" She spread out her left and right hands and added, "Many people develop Nen abilities with this kind of inertia, making things based on the left and right hands. For example, when a manipulator develops their abilities, they may design it so that the left hand will trigger certain conditions and the right hand will trigger certain conditions."

Jing Yang looked at the right sleeve of the Jade-Faced Daoist nun's mind beast fluttering and smiled, "That is indeed the plan, but the specific abilities have not yet been realized. Right now, this mind beast is only a semi-finished product."

Bisky said, "Judging from the characteristics of the left sleeve, the right sleeve should also be related to spatial containment?"

Jingyang nodded: "It should be similar to a portable small warehouse."

Bisky glanced at Shizuku. If it was meant to be a portable storage unit, wasn't Shizuku's ability more than sufficient?

There are usually clues to how a person develops their Nen abilities.

The more you understand a person, the more you understand their developmental capabilities.

The reverse is also true. The more you understand a person's Nen abilities, the more you can truly understand their inner world.

Based on Bisky's observations over this period, the only two things that Shizuku's bulging-eyed fish vacuum cleaner cannot absorb are living things and things related to Nen abilities. Now that Jingyang's Nen beast's left sleeve absorbs living things—the conclusion is obvious: the so-called warehouse on the right sleeve should be storing things related to Nen.

Based on Jingyang's previous fragmented remarks, the real answer gradually became clear...

The Taoist nun stood still, and while the three of them kept their watches and waited, Xiao Di released some food from the bulging-eyed fish to satisfy their hunger, and also fed the big tiger Wu Er.

“He’s designing a Nen ability like this: storing all his random Nen abilities through his Nen beast in some way, and then releasing the beast when needed, allowing it to retrieve the corresponding Nen ability from its right sleeve…” Bisky chewed on a small bread roll, thinking to herself, “'Gaining multiple, even infinite, Nen abilities through one of my own abilities'—this greedy idea isn’t new… However, this kid’s idea is probably to only store his own Nen abilities, which would make development easier and have fewer restrictions. Although using other abilities would involve additional steps like 'releasing the Nen beast and having it release the ability,' it would also reduce a lot of trouble in daily life, as he wouldn’t have to constantly remember the different sensations of various Nen abilities…”

Thinking of this, Bisky chuckled to herself. Sure enough, greedy people always make the same choice: using one Nen ability to support multiple other Nen abilities, so that their minds can be a little lighter... However, other Nen users of this type often develop this ability from the beginning, while Jingyang realizes the consequences of being greedy and then tries to make up for it.

After resting for about an hour, the Taoist nun flicked her left sleeve again, sending out a wisp of spiritual energy that transformed into the same bird as before.

Bisky plucked the bird from the sky, parted its feathers and glanced at it. On the skin where Jingyang had removed its feathers, the bead of blood seemed to have just seeped out, slowly flowing and soaking the other feather roots.

“If you use this ability well, it will be very useful.” Bisky looked at Jing Yang very seriously. “And I’ve seen that, whether it’s your spirit beast using its ability, maintaining its power, or maintaining its own existence, it’s been over an hour—oh, an hour and a half now—and your own energy hasn’t weakened at all…”

Jing Yang said, "This Mind Beast relies on its own Qi to sustain itself. If it only uses the 'Sleeve Universe' ability without actually fighting, then yes, the consumption seems to be very low."

Since this was the first time it had been released for use, Jingyang was naturally confirming it for the first time as well.

Bisky's eyes narrowed, and she looked at Jingyang again: "I see that the energy on your body is about one-sixth or one-seventh less than usual—that is, about five or six thousand units less?"

Jingyang smiled and said, "That's right."

He snapped his fingers, and the Jade-Faced Daoist nun's spirit beast transformed into a ball of spiritual energy that surged toward him.

Xiao Di focused her gaze and, sure enough, sensed that after the Nian Beast returned, Jing Yang's aura surged dramatically.

“This consumption is too low. It seems there’s some limitation somewhere.” Bisky pondered, then suddenly laughed. “I guess if your Nen beast’s left sleeve has taken in someone, you can’t retrieve it before releasing that person, right?”

"As expected of a seasoned veteran!" Jing Yang gave a thumbs-up in praise.

Xiao Di chimed in, "If your opponent is captured by your Nen beast, they will undoubtedly be at a huge disadvantage. But on the other hand, since the Nen beast cannot be retrieved, Jing Yang, you yourself will lose a considerable amount of Nen energy, which is an advantage for your opponent's companions."

"It's alright, I have companions too," Jing Yang said with a smile. "After we capture them, we'll just throw them into your chainsaw array, Xiao Di, and they'll be shredded in no time—oh right, Xiao Di, have you decided on a name for your chainsaw ability yet?"

Little Drop said, "Yes, let's call her 'Chainsaw Woman'."

Bisky remarked, "What a casual name!"

Jing Yang stretched and sensed the location of the star marks left by the Rock Sparrow in several coastal towns of Greed Island. He said energetically, "Anyway, it's time for us to get to work."

Chapter 247 Looks familiar

Spell Card "Companion".

Number 1039, F-130

After use, it can cause all players within a 20-meter radius to fly to a designated location (only locations already visited) or the location of a designated challenger (only challengers seen in the game)...

The three men and one tiger walked along the coast towards a small seaside town that could be seen in the distance. Like the seven similar seaside towns they had visited on the island over the past month, this was also a place where a lighthouse could be seen.

"We're almost there, what are you daydreaming about?" Bisky, who was walking ahead, turned around and said.

Xiao Di turned around and saw Jing Yang with one hand in his pocket and the other hand releasing a card book from his game ring. The card book floated in the air and opened to a certain page, where Jing Yang was walking and reading the book.

Bisky asked, "We've been searching for a month, how many locations are left?"

Jingyang said, "The last one is just ahead."

"If we still can't find any clues about Leizha, then we'll have to think of other ways." As Xiaodi spoke, she materialized a bulging-eyed fish and spat out some stored pieces of meat from the vacuum cleaner. Wu Er caught them and chewed as he walked.

Jing Yang said without looking up, "I hope it won't all be for nothing."

He glanced at the death energy panel. During the past month of searching for Lei Zha along the coastline, he hadn't completely stopped cultivating. His total mental energy had accumulated day by day, finally reaching about 33,000 units, barely enough to be considered half of Mo Laowu.

As for the others, it's hard to say whether it was good luck or bad luck. He only encountered two other players dying nearby once. Jing Yang didn't know what happened at the time, but he inexplicably gained two strands of death energy. He casually put them into a corner of the transformation type, raising his aptitude to 89.3%. His materialization type aptitude followed suit and was directly maxed out at 100%.

At this point, Jingyang's six major aptitudes, except for the Transformation type which has about 90%, are all at full strength in the other five types.

Little Cooler Pikachu belongs to this category.

Jingyang pulled out a spell card called "Communication" from his card collection book. Bisky glanced at it and asked, "Who do you want to contact?"

“No, I was thinking,” Jingyang said, “that spell cards are essentially mass-produced card-based Nen abilities—so I’m suddenly curious what would happen if we did that.”
