20: Chapter 20 Kid, you can't seize such an opportunity!

According to standard tropes, this is when Su Yi should have stepped in and snatched the Opportunity ahead of time.

"Your Opportunity is quite good, but from now on, it belongs to me!"

But that is where the problem lies. If it were truly a combat technique that could be learned directly, Su Yi would have snatched it before Gu Wanquan without even blinking.

However, that was a remnant, just half a scrap of paper remaining, a remnant with only one character.

The rest was all filled in by Gu Wanquan solely through raw talent!

His own System panel could only pour experience into skills; there was simply no way to complete a scrap of paper into a Mythical-grade combat technique!

Now you might ask, since the System panel is useless, can't he just comprehend it himself?

Asking such a question makes you a Genius!

Rely on Su Yi to comprehend it himself?

Are you saying that Su Yi, with a Comprehension Ability of only 6 on his attribute panel, should comprehend a Mythical combat technique?

Then you are overestimating your Brother Su.

Su Yi feels that it would be more reliable to craft an atomic bomb with his bare hands.

At least atomic bombs have instruction manuals!

Do you think the Luoxia Immortal Sect has been a group of idiots for the thousands of years since its founding?

The learning restrictions for skills are bizarre; some require attributes, some require Ranks, and some even restrict gender!

Besides a Son of Destiny favored by the Heavenly Dao like Gu Wanquan, no one else can comprehend this thing!

Although a man shouldn't say he can't, in this case, he really can't.

Su Yi couldn't do anything about that Opportunity of Gu Wanquan's, but he still intended to snatch other Opportunities.

Su Yi glanced at Xiao Tian, whose eyes were still as swollen as two walnuts!

This future Emperor Xiao Tian had also found a unique Opportunity in this Scripture Pavilion!

As for why Su Yi knew this so clearly, it was because in the immortal path game before his Transmigration.

Su Yi, who had gained his strength by leeching off the Empress, lost the silver medal in the individual tournament because of a minor combat technique.

That combat technique came from the hands of one of Emperor Xiao Tian's lackeys!

Unexpectedly missing out on the gold medal, Su Yi wanted to viciously curse: "What a detestable lackey!"

Because he had fallen at the hands of Emperor Xiao Tian's lackey, the Empress was so angry that she drilled him fiercely for half a month.

Su Yi had spent a long time investigating the origin of the minor combat technique that caused him to stumble!

Unexpectedly, Su Yi actually managed to find it.

When that lackey was showing off during an interview, describing how he turned defeat into victory, he brainlessly revealed the origin of that white-grade combat technique.

Back in those days, he lived prosperously by being a lackey for the Empress.

Other players would denounce Su Yi for having no player dignity while secretly messaging him to ask if they could also eat from that bowl.

To expand his lackey team, Su Yi had once recommended a few players to the Empress, but those players ended up being dragged out and fed to the dogs.

The temper of the irritable, short-statured Empress was not something easily figured out.

No one actually thinks that being able to live off someone else's success doesn't require any real skill, right?

After hitting a wall with the Empress, the dejected players turned to fawn over... or rather, win over the Empress's mortal enemy, Emperor Xiao Tian!

At that time, Emperor Xiao Tian was just starting the Heavenly Court, almost penniless, lacking people, money, and everything else.

Compared to the Empress, who had been pampered since childhood, Emperor Xiao Tian was much easier to win over with the players' sugar-coated bullets.

By crazily spending money on Emperor Xiao Tian, a top player really did reap the rewards and gained the true teachings of Emperor Xiao Tian, and this minor combat technique was exactly what Emperor Xiao Tian had passed on to him.

It is said that this combat technique was gifted to Emperor Xiao Tian by Gu Wanquan when they both entered the Scripture Pavilion while at the Luoxia Immortal Sect!

Because of the unique nature of the combat technique, Emperor Xiao Tian, who nourished his physical strength with magical power, did not learn it, which was how that player benefited.

The name of this combat technique: "White-grade combat technique: Copy!"

This skill can Copy any white-grade skill of the same Rank!

The cooldown for each use is 3 days!

This combat technique does not require any attributes; the only requirement is a Purple talent or higher.

Does it sound less impressive than the Sword Immortal Remnant?

In reality, this skill is indeed trash compared to the Sword Immortal Remnant.

Otherwise, the penniless Emperor Xiao Tian would not have been willing to give it away.

A skill that can only Copy white-grade combat techniques, takes up a skill slot, and has a 3-day cooldown after one use.

Even a dog would shake its head at such a trash skill.

But it was precisely this skill that caused Su Yi to suffer a huge loss in the arena!

Because when this skill is upgraded to the maximum level, it gains the effect of being able to Copy skills from one Realm higher than the user!

The lackey who obtained this skill insidiously used it to Copy the full power of a white-grade combat technique from a level 60 Divided Soul powerhouse under Emperor Xiao Tian!

At the critical moment of their duel, the opponent used this move to turn the tables and directly KO'd Su Yi!

Whenever he thinks of this, Su Yi grinds his teeth in hatred.

But today, the pit he once fell into is now a trap he gets to set himself!

Standing in front of the Scripture Pavilion, Su Yi followed closely behind Xiao Tian, watching his every move, staring fixedly at him without even blinking.

This scared the now twelve-year-old Emperor Xiao Tian so much that his mouth turned down, looking like he was about to cry again.

"Cry, cry, cry, you're crying all your good fortune away!" Su Yi scolded irritably.

For this big shot from the former enemy faction, Su Yi obviously didn't have much patience.

Scared by Su Yi, Xiao Tian, who had wanted to cry, instantly held back his tears, only looking at Su Yi timidly with some fear.

Feeling that it would be difficult for the other party to choose a Cultivation Technique while he stared at him like this, Su Yi decided to let him go for the moment, but he had already made up his mind.

I'll let you go for now, kid, but don't leave after you exit the Scripture Pavilion!

After letting Xiao Tian go, Su Yi wandered around the Scripture Pavilion.

The entire Scripture Pavilion was huge, piled everywhere with Five Elements Evasion Techniques, Qimen Dunjia, and various types of cultivation methods.

Dozens of rows of bookshelves reaching the ceiling were packed full, showcasing the deep heritage of the Luoxia Immortal Sect.

It looked impressive, but in reality, most of these cultivation skills were quite mediocre.

In immortal path, once one reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, they could create their own skills, and there were all sorts of bizarre skills available.

But they were all essentially the same at the core; they just changed the shape a bit and claimed to be original.

For example, the white-grade combat technique Su Yi was holding now: Water Arrow Technique.

Stretch the Water Arrow Technique a bit, and it becomes the Water Gun Technique; widen it a bit, and it becomes the Water Sword Technique; change the tip of the Water Sword Technique, and it becomes the Water Blade Technique.

But the core is just using True Qi to condense a water column to attack the opponent.

After the Foundation Establishment Stage, one would initially master the True Yuan that had turned into liquid in the Dantian; only then could it be called true cultivation.

There is no cultivation below Foundation Establishment; in immortal path, the Qi Refinement Stage is just the newbie phase, meant for players to familiarize themselves with the game content.

For NPCs, only after reaching Foundation Establishment do they truly begin their cultivation.

Therefore, for players, the game immortal path only truly begins after reaching level 10!

Su Yi, wandering around, stood in front of the bookshelf for Water Element Evasion Techniques. Possessing max-level Water Element affinity, Su Yi naturally chose the Water Element Evasion Technique.

Looking at the dazzling array of skill books before him, Su Yi's eyes drifted uncertainly. The second thing Su Yi wanted to do upon coming to the Scripture Pavilion was to test something.

Whether he really possessed double the skill slots as he had thought!

After carefully selecting four skill books, Su Yi walked to a table. Looking at the skill books before him, the System prompt sounded as expected:

"Skill learning detected, unlocking skill slots X4X2!"

"It really is double skill slots, it can actually be done!" Su Yi's eyes lit up, and his heart, which had been somewhat tense, instantly relaxed.

Eight small squares appeared under the Cultivation Technique section of Su Yi's attribute panel. These were the skill slots.

Cultivation Techniques are equivalent to passive skills, restoring health and mana, and increasing experience. The skills in the skill slots are active skills!

"Ding, do you want to spend 500 experience points to learn the white-grade combat technique 'Water Arrow Technique'?"

"Ding, do you want to spend 500 experience points to learn the white-grade combat technique 'Water Clone'?"

"Ding, do you want to spend 500 experience points to learn the white-grade combat technique 'Water Whip Technique'?"

"Ding, do you want to spend 500 experience points to learn the white-grade combat technique 'Water Wall Technique'?"

Su Yi spent 2000 experience points without blinking, learning the four white-grade combat techniques.

Two attacks, one defense, one life-saving; a reasonable combination.

The 3000 experience points remaining from his upgrade were instantly reduced to 1600 points.

There were some blue-grade skills in the Scripture Pavilion, but Su Yi did not learn them.

Just like the blue-grade "Luoxia Qi Refining Technique", learning it requires 1000 experience points, 2000 to reach entry level, and 10,000 to go from entry level to mastery!

Skills below Foundation Establishment don't have much difference; there's no need to waste experience just for a slight increase in power!

Qi Refining is just a transition; the true qualitative change happens at the Foundation Establishment Stage after level 10!

After learning the skills, Su Yi put the skill books back. Watching everyone else still picking skills, that sense of superiority—that Prodigies were nothing special—welled up in his heart again.

Su Yi once again fixed his gaze on Xiao Tian, who was following behind Gu Wanquan.

At this moment, the two were standing in front of a pile of useless combat techniques waiting to be destroyed. Gu Wanquan was handing a skill book to Xiao Tian, and Su Yi moved instantly:

"Kid, you cannot grasp this Opportunity; put it down and let this old man handle it!"
