There is nothing wrong with the training method of the Justice Messenger

Skill Tree

“…Puff! Cough cough cough!”

Li Nian was distracted for a moment and got a stitch in the side, causing the noodles to slip into his nose and causing him to cough violently.

The timing was so coincidental that he was almost 100% sure that God was sitting in the sky, watching him, and that God could even see through his heart without any secrets.

It seems that this so-called system may really be a superficial idea that the high and mighty being came up with temporarily. It is currently being updated at any time...

"…I'm too lazy to complain about how unreliable it is."

In short, God seemed to have heard his wish and immediately added a new function to the system as the name suggested. Li Nian breathed a sigh of relief and thought about opening it and taking a look now.

As soon as he had the thought, a new window popped up from the "Skill Tree", and a huge and complicated "tree" appeared.

It was a large tree with intricately extended branches and countless nodes, but it was pitch black as if it was silent, with only some nodes at the bottom shining.

When Li Nian noticed them, related information naturally appeared in his mind.

"Spiritual Vision", "Basic Method of Generating the Elements of Gold (Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder...)", "Basic Knowledge of Time and Space", "Basics of Body Strengthening Methods", "Basics of Internal Skills and Mental Methods"...

And many more.

These are all skills that can be learned. And, there are no costs or restrictions.

After thinking about it, Li Nian decided to try to learn the skill called "clairvoyance" first. As soon as he thought of this in his mind, the node immediately emitted a dazzling light, and then something flowed into his mind.

That is information related to "spiritual vision", which mainly includes specific concepts and methods of practice.

Li Nian had subconsciously closed his eyes a long time ago, and his mind had entered an empty state without him noticing. He began to concentrate on reading the information without distraction, and his brain was working rapidly. He unconsciously mobilized the knowledge related to the "technique" buried in his mind, and the difficult questions were solved. He gradually sorted out the context of the information related to "clairvoyance", and then understood it bit by bit, and grasped it thoroughly... until he realized it.

When I opened my eyes again, the world before me was completely different.

Li Nian looked thoughtfully at the world in front of him that had become more colorful.

The colorful balls of light that filled every corner of the air - I realized that was the form of spiritual energy.

Spiritual vision - that is, looking at the world from the perspective of the spirit. Everything you see exudes its aura and shows its most essential state.

Rather than seeing it, it would be more accurate to say that I felt it...

Li Nian closed and opened his eyes, and with a thought, he turned off his spiritual vision, and his vision returned to normal. He looked at the skill tree again, and the node belonging to "Spiritual Vision" had been completely lit up, and the other node connected to it - "Mind's Eye" began to sparkle.

Li Nian felt that he understood what this so-called skill tree was all about.

Chapter 8: That is the possibility of light-speed growth

After "Clairvoyance", Li Nian also clicked on other skills that could be learned.

All skill learning is in the same form as at the beginning. As long as Li Nian wants to learn, information about the skills will flow into his mind.

Normally, from the perspective of ordinary people, the information contained a lot of knowledge related to professional fields, which was generally incomprehensible. But for Li Nian, the deep knowledge reserve like a library stuffed in his mind came in handy. Once he read that part, he would understand it thoroughly as if he had known it for a long time, and there was almost no part that he couldn't understand. He didn't feel any obstacles in learning and could figure it out easily. After that, he would suddenly have the thought, "It turns out to be so simple?"

Like this, while Li Nian is learning skills, he is also digesting the knowledge in his mind.

Gradually, as he understood more and more, it seemed as if a door slowly opened in front of Li Nian, allowing him to see the tip of the iceberg of this new world of "spirit" behind it.

The unknown becomes knowable, and everything seems to have a traceable path. Even the mysterious veils covering the Asuras, gods, Buddhas, demons and monsters seem to be slowly unveiled, no longer so absurd and bizarre.

This fully aroused Li Nian's curiosity and thirst for knowledge, and she wanted to see more of that world.

As Li Nian mastered each skill one by one, the relevant nodes of the towering tree were completely lit up. Then, the light spread along the branches, dispelling the darkness of the relevant nodes.

Those are new learnable skills that are unlocked after meeting the requirements. From bottom to top, from the outside to the inside, once you understand the basics, you can go deeper layer by layer. The knowledge system seems to grow upwards endlessly to form a big tree!

Li Nian began to repeat this process: learning skills - receiving knowledge - digesting knowledge - understanding skills, and repeating this process over and over again until he became so absorbed in it that he didn't notice the passage of time.

"Gululu..."

It was not until a rumbling in his stomach broke Li Nian's mind and woke him up. He suddenly opened his eyes and regained consciousness. He immediately felt a strong sense of fatigue surging into his head, making him dizzy and almost falling down.

Li Nian shook his head vigorously, feeling a stabbing pain in his head. His mind was greatly exhausted and he was very hungry.

At this time, the sun filled the room and the air was scorching hot. It was no longer as cool as it was in the early morning. He was sweating all over. He looked up at the clock weakly and found that it was already past noon without him noticing.

Thinking that he could actually learn to such a level where he was carried away by everything else, Li Nian couldn't help laughing.

"Isn't this the legendary academic master model?"

The result of over-concentration is severe mental exhaustion like this.

...But compared to the hard work my body endured, the rewards were enormous.

Li Nian took a deep breath, stretched out his hand, and opened it in front of his eyes. Suddenly, he heard a puff, and saw flames burning in his palm out of thin air.

——When the "reiki" runs according to certain rules, phenomena will occur. That is the concept of the word "ritual".

This technique of summoning fire is an extremely simple one. One only needs to use the spirit to gather the "fire energy" in the air, or refine the "spiritual energy" of other attributes into "fire energy" to trigger combustion. By the same token, as long as Li Nian wants, not only gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, but even wind and thunder can be materialized.

If Einstein heard this logic, he would probably be so angry that he would jump out of his coffin... But the fact is that the fire was really summoned out in this way.

The so-called technique is different from the science that Li Nian has always known. The entire system is based on the magical thing called "aura", which is regarded as the cornerstone of the world and an omnipotent energy. Li Nian, who can already perform "clairvoyance", can intuitively feel its existence.

Then, it is the spirit that drives the "aura". When the state of "spiritual vision" is turned on, even this illusory thing seems to have substance, moving with the mind and spreading out like liquid. While coming into contact with the "aura", it seems to swallow it up and merge into one, taking it in as a part of oneself and being able to control it at will.

Li Nian clenched his fist and extinguished the flame, but he didn't want to continue trying to find out the other things he had learned. He just wanted to see this fact. After calming himself down, he called out the panel.

There was a "small tree" appearing in the skill column, which represented everything he had learned in just one morning.

But what he learned is not important. What is important is that in these short six hours, Li Nian has learned that this world actually has another way of operating. In that way of operating, rituals, souls, and gods all become real things that conform to "reason".

Learning, studying, and utilizing those principles to make oneself stronger is what is called cultivation.

And now Li Nian can be said to have completed the entry level of spiritual practice.

Li Nian felt that he could already see through the essence of the system before him.

God did give him an extremely sharp sword—by doing two very simple and brutal things.

By transforming his body, he was given the qualifications to practice.

Instill knowledge and tell him the methods of practice.

I also don’t see the required price. In this way, anyone can become stronger through practice, and move forward straight and fast.

This speed can only be described as genius, and it is very appropriate. No one can progress so fast except for natural talent.

"Don't feel too strongly about being appointed..."

It would be possible to continue learning those skills and see more corners of "another world", but Li Nian wanted to stop for the time being and not learn anything new.

Because of the current situation, the spirit can no longer be wasted.

Li Nian didn't want to move so fast, he felt that the term "giant in theory" was very appropriate to describe himself now. In terms of practice, he certainly hadn't put it into practice yet and hadn't reached the point of applying what he had learned. In fact, it was too exaggerated. God seemed to have noticed this, as could be seen from the fact that the comprehensive combat effectiveness evaluation had not changed at all.

A person has limited energy, and learning so many things may seem a bit disorganized. It takes more time to sort out the important part, the basics, and choose a set that suits you to focus on.

and……

"Since you, Boss, don't say anything, it's okay for me to take my time and do it, right?"

No matter what, life must go on, and in this regard, these skills cannot be used for the time being. At least for now, Li Nian just wants to have a good meal, take a shower, and then rest for a while.

Just as he was about to do so, he heard the doorbell ring.

"Ding dong."

Li Nian was stunned, wondering who would come to see him at this time.

He was about to open the door, but before he walked over, he heard faint conversation coming from outside.

"Misaki-senpai, you're just causing trouble for others by showing up so suddenly!"

"Dontmind, junior! A newbie won't care about such a small thing!...Ah, here it comes."

Li Nian opened the door and found a man and a woman standing outside. One was a short-haired girl with a great figure, a cute face and full of vitality, and the other was an ordinary boy with an uneasy expression and seemed to be worried.

Li Nian was just thinking that he had some impression of this girl's face in his previous life's memory. When the girl saw him open the door, she immediately showed a bright and innocent smile and raised her hands to cheer.

"New guy! We're here to help you move!"

Chapter 9: Strange Roommate

"move place?"

Li Nian thought that he had contacted the moving company, but the scheduled moving date was tomorrow? He also planned to set aside today to sort out his things. Putting this aside, the two people in front of him were very young and did not look like moving company staff. They looked more like high school students.

...and what does the name of that newcomer mean?

Li Nian was puzzled.

The boy opposite also stared blankly at the tall, muscular man in front of him, and suddenly muttered something.

"Teacher Qianxun, from what aspect of this person did you see that he looked like a weakling..."

"…What did you say?"

“…! It’s nothing, nothing!”

"..."

After the body was reshaped, Li Nian now has sharp hearing and can detect the slightest movement. In fact, he heard it clearly and always felt that there was a word in what the man said just now that was a bit dangerous.

The boy smiled and pulled the girl to the back: "This girl is actually an alien, just treat what she said as fart. Let me tell you something."

The girl was extremely shocked and started to cry: "Junior, you actually said that! That's too much! Don't you love me anymore?!"

"No one in this world would fall in love with an alien!" The boy complained loudly! Then he ignored her and looked at Li Nian, smiling again, looking her up and down with a little doubt in his eyes. He first asked tentatively: "Excuse me, are you Li Nian?"

“…I am Li Nian for sure.”

“Really…”

"Any questions?"

"Oh no, no problem. Sorry to bother you so suddenly. My name is Kanda Kanda, and this is Kamiigusa Misaki."

"Hmm? Kamiigusa Misaki..."

Li Nian didn't know Kanda Kanda, but when he mentioned the name Kamiigusa Misaki, he immediately remembered who the girl was and looked at her with surprise.

That's why that face looks familiar. Speaking of the name Kamiigusa Misaki, she was a famous person that everyone in the school knew in my previous life's memory.

She is an art student studying in the art department. She is a maverick girl in school with strange and unrestrained behavior. She once used the entire school playground to paint a highly completed UFO. She is a problematic person that gives teachers a lot of trouble.

But what she is best known for is not these, but the fact that she once single-handedly produced a genuine animated short film, and won a terrifying amount of online fame with its extremely high quality. I have also seen the predecessor of that video with over a million hits, and I remember it clearly.

"Hello, newbie! From now on you have to call me boss, okay?"

When the girl heard someone mention herself, she immediately changed her fake crying expression, straightened her chest as if she was very proud, stretched out her hands, and patted Li Nian's shoulders hard, accompanied by a surge of emotions.

"Misaki-senpai, what kind of yakuza initiation ritual are you learning?"

"Once you enter our Sakurasou, you will be ours in life and our ghost in death. From now on, you will never be able to leave with your body intact!"

“Don’t talk about the place we live in as if it’s some kind of Asura hell! Please don’t reveal your true colors in front of your new roommate in three seconds!…Ah! No, no, I can’t help but start complaining again.” Kanda turned to Li Nian and said helplessly: “Basically, you don’t have to take what Senior Misaki says seriously, but since this person is your senior, just call her Senior like I do.”

"Call me Boss!"

"Are you still playing?!"

Li Nian heard some fragments of their conversation. He also remembered that Uemigusa Misaki was one of the problem children taken in by Sakurasou, and he had roughly realized the reason for their arrival.

"Are you from Sakurasou?"

"Yes, you will be my roommate after you move in. Please take care of me."

"Thank you for your care, but if you want to help me move, I'm sorry you're a little early. I won't be moving until tomorrow."

Misaki was very dissatisfied and slapped Li Nian's shoulder even harder.

"Too slow! How can a man waste his life procrastinating? Move now without delay!"

"Even if you say so..."

Kanda Sorata smiled bitterly.

"In fact, when Senior Misaki heard that you were moving in, she immediately became excited. I couldn't stop her, so she called a moving company for you without permission. Now the car is parked downstairs."

"What?"

Li Nian was suddenly startled and immediately walked to the corridor outside to look at the street below. Sure enough, he saw several trucks parked there. On the boxes were written "Shengmei Moving Company" in Chinese characters - that was not the name of the moving company he had booked!
