The mastermind behind the scenes starting with the calamity of all races

Well, although "Ye Batian" is just a pseudonym of the Great Zhou King...

but.

This still speaks volumes!

Therefore, Yun Jie felt that the word "excellent" was not suitable for him. It was enough to keep himself at an average level, or even slightly above average, because people would only pay attention to the top few and the bottom few. As for those in the middle? Who would remember you?

For example, do you still remember who ranked 20th in your class? 30th? You probably don't.

But what about those top students? You'll remember them, right? And as for the underachievers, the teachers call roll every single day, they're sick of it!

Chapter 10 The House of Will [Please add to your favorites! Please vote!]

·····

After quickly cleaning up the battlefield and hastily burying the werewolf's corpse, Yun Jie left with the spoils of war.

The corpse has been buried, so there's no point in thinking about extracting any essence or blood. Firstly, the essence and blood of this Thousand-Jin Realm werewolf are useless, and secondly, Yun Jie currently doesn't have the means to extract essence and blood.

For the next ten days or so, Yun Jie kept searching for enemies, and he carefully avoided all the people of the myriad races who were at or above the Thousand Jun Realm.

As for the Thousand Jun Realm, Yun Jie didn't let any of them go. During the trip, he encountered a total of five Thousand Jun Realm beings from various races, one of whom was a werewolf. The others were a dog-headed man, a minotaur, and a pig-headed man. Since Yun Jie didn't know their specific race names, he could only give them simple names based on their physical characteristics.

At first, Yun Jie used the same method as the first time, which was assassination. However, as his cultivation improved over the days and his confidence gradually increased, when facing his most recent enemy, the pig-headed man, Yun Jie adopted a direct confrontation approach.

The pig-headed man had a cultivation level of the eighth level of the Thousand Jun realm and had opened more than 32 acupoints. However, Yun Jie had already reached the third level of the Thousand Jun realm. In addition, with the acupoints opened by the Small Heavenly Circuit Sword Technique, he had opened nearly fifty acupoints in total!

Therefore, the outcome of the entire battle was without any suspense; in just a few minutes, the pig-headed man was slain by Yun Jie's sword.

Over the past few days, Yun Jie has acquired five cultivation techniques from various races, but unfortunately, he can't understand any of them.

On this day, Yun Jie signed in as usual.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining a House of Will."

"Hmm? The House of Will? Wait, it can't be what I imagined, can it?"

Yun Jie quickly clicked on the introduction of the House of Will.

House of Willpower: Contains a large amount of willpower, effective in tempering willpower. (Note: The willpower within willpower will not regenerate on its own; it stops when depleted. This item is only effective for those below the Soaring Realm!)

Sure enough, just as I thought, this House of Will is no different from the Fragment Room that Su Yu entered the research institute. The difference is that the power of will in the Fragment Room is mixed, while the House of Will is used to hone one's will, so the power of will within it is pure!

However, there isn't much difference between the two. If you had to point out a difference, you could go crazy if your willpower isn't strong in the Shards Room, while you wouldn't in the House of Willpower.

Moreover, both methods work by constantly consuming and squeezing the willpower of the "trial participants," thereby enhancing their willpower.

"Great! This will allow me to quickly strengthen my willpower and break through to the Qi Cultivation stage as soon as possible."

At this moment, Yun Jie felt nothing but joy, his bright white teeth shining in the sunlight.

Yun Jie's willpower was only at 28% full at this moment, which was even less than when Su Yu first joined the Great Xia Civilization Academy.

Eager to test its effects, Yun Jie quickly extracted the House of Will.

A flash of light appeared, and a miniature House of Will landed in Yun Jie's hands.

After experiencing it, Yun Jie was overjoyed: "The system is so thoughtful! It can be enlarged and shrunk, it's a must-have for travel. I can use it as a storage ring from now on."

Without hesitation, Yun Jie conjured up a thought, and the House of Will began to change, eventually transforming into a small 3-meter by 3-meter house.

Yun Jie clicked his tongue in amazement, pushed open the door, and went straight in.

However, the moment he stepped inside, Yun Jie's expression changed. "Holy crap, this sense of oppression is incredible!"

Yun Jie felt that his willpower was being rapidly depleted, and the character "Zhou" in his mind's sea was also trembling continuously.

As his willpower gradually waned, Yun Jie's face grew increasingly pale, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered, fighting on.

The longer you persist, the better the results!

"Hang in there! Yun Jie! You can do it!" Yun Jie kept encouraging himself.

However, pressure from all directions still pressed down on him. In less than three minutes, Yun Jie's willpower was completely exhausted, but then, a new force of willpower appeared in his sea of ​​will!

When willpower is excessively depleted, the sea of ​​willpower will generate new willpower. This is the method and trick for a civilized person to strengthen and improve themselves.

Seven more minutes passed, and Yun Jie could no longer hold on. He staggered out of the House of Will.

"Huff huff huff..." He was panting heavily, sweat dripping out drop by drop.

"As expected, I am far inferior to Su Yu."

Although he had expected it, Yun Jie couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when faced with the fact that he had spent so much less time than Su Yu for the first time.

"Forget it, why bother comparing myself to someone like Su Yu, that monster? Can he even be compared to me?"

Yun Jie thought about how Su Yu had been having nightmares for over a decade or two, being killed thousands of times in his dreams. His willpower was far stronger than his own, which was incomparable. If it were him, he might have already broken down and committed suicide!

It's a wonder that Su Yu persisted for so many years.

Moreover, at crucial moments, the Time Book helps him stabilize his sea of ​​will, which makes him even more incomparable.

If he hadn't come out just now, his mental sea would have been shaken.

Then Yun Jie began to check his gains. "I improved by three percent in just ten minutes. Not bad, not bad. My overall level is now at 31%. It's a pity that I don't have a divine rune that can quickly restore willpower. I can't go in several times a day like Su Yu. What a pity."

Yun Jie estimated that, based on his current recovery speed, he would only be able to use it once every two days.

If you take 3% each time, and do it every two days, it will take about two weeks to break through the cultivation barrier.

Yun Jie counted on his fingers and realized that he was far inferior to Su Yu. Ugh, why am I comparing myself to Su Yu again?

Well, you can't really blame Yun Jie for this. He doesn't know about the progress of others either. The person he knows best is Su Yu, so he can only compare himself to him...

"Breaking through the cultivation stage in two weeks, that's not a slow pace, is it?"

If others knew about Yun Jie's idea, they'd probably die of fright! You call two weeks of self-cultivation not slow? That's like riding a rocket!

Yun Jie tried to argue, "That Su Yu..."

Don't fucking compare him to Su Yu, that guy's not normal! Compare yourself to a normal person!

Oh, never mind then...

I'll f*** you!

Since there was no way to continue honing his willpower, Yun Jie took out all the spoils he had brought with him and threw them into the House of Willpower.

"I'll take it!"

The House of Will shrank at a visible rate, eventually becoming only the size of a ping-pong ball.

"Hey, it really can be used as a storage ring!"

Yun Jie said happily, "Now I don't have to carry so much stuff with me anymore, it really hinders my fighting! And I can bring more clothes later!"

You would never imagine what Yun Jie looks like now; he's practically a savage, with only a few tattered rags left on his body.

Yun Jie wrapped them around his waist, barely covering his manhood. He even considered whether he should go back to the valley, otherwise he might end up running around naked one day!

Yun Jie doesn't want to be "idle" all the time! How embarrassing!

If this dark history is ever exposed in the future, what will become of my dignity as the number one behind-the-scenes boss of all realms, Yun Jie?

How many times has the Great Xia king been ridiculed for claiming to be the most handsome man in the world?

The lessons of the past should guide our future actions!

We must learn from our experiences and lessons!

Chapter 11 Ambitious

······

Learning from past mistakes, Yun Jie immediately decided to return. Moreover, he had just obtained the House of Willpower this time, so he would go back and strengthen his willpower, hoping to break through to the Nourishing Nature stage when he came out next time.

However, Yun Jie still planned to rest for one night before leaving. He had just exhausted his willpower and was not in a good position to travel.

The next day, Yun Jie roughly determined the direction. He had been heading west after leaving the valley, so if he just kept heading east, he should be able to get back.

Uh, probably...

As a result, it took Yun Jie a whole week to return to the valley.

During this time, he went astray several times.

"We've finally found it!"

Inside the valley, Yun Jie walked along, responding to the greetings of others.

Arriving at Qin Guang's residence, I knocked on the door.

"Please come in!"

Yun Jie pushed open the door and entered.

"Hey! Brother Yun, you're back!"

Qin Guang stood up with some surprise and looked Yun Jie up and down.

"Hmm, has anything happened in the valley these past few days?"

"It's nothing!"

"That's good. I wonder how your cultivation is going, brother? When will you be able to break through the Thousand-Jin barrier? I have a cultivation technique here that would be perfect for you!"

Yun Jie got straight to the point and said, "Anyway, I'm going to give it to you. What's the point of being so hesitant?"

"Well... to be honest, brother, I do lack cultivation techniques right now..." As he spoke, Qin Guang became embarrassed.

Qin Guang felt somewhat guilty that he had not only failed to help Yun Jie, but had actually benefited greatly from Yun Jie's actions.

“Brother, there’s no need for that. Humanity is in dire straits right now, and this is not the time for us to be so vain. It’s just a pity that my cultivation technique requires too many resources and has high requirements for aptitude, so it is not suitable for the general public.”

Immediately, Yun Jie recited the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Technique to Qin Guang. As cultivators, their memories were naturally excellent, and Qin Guang memorized it after Yun Jie recited it only once.

"Oh, by the way, brother, I found some more Heavenly Origin Fruits this time." After saying that, Yun Jie took out a few Heavenly Origin Fruits that he had put in his pocket beforehand, stuffed three of them into Qin Guang's hands, and left without giving Qin Guang a chance to refuse.

Qin Guang was left alone in the room, deeply moved, and secretly resolved that no matter what happened in the future, he would never allow anyone else to hurt Yun Jie!

On the other hand, Yun Jie was unaware of Qin Guang's decision. He helped Qin Guang simply because he greatly admired the King of Qin in his previous life, and Yun Jie also needed Qin Guang to stand in front and attract attention.

After washing up and changing into clean clothes, Yun Jie returned to his room and, without saying a word, took out the House of Will.
