Chapter 670: Chapter 16: A Principled and Upright Young Lady

"Earth Fiend Technique is really troublesome, I wonder what the Celestial Spirit Technique will look like..."

Gu Mo extended his thoughts, watching the progress bar of proficiency on the Attribute Panel, and couldn’t help but become contemplative.

After all, in Daoist allusions, the Seventy-two Techniques are merely minor spells, while the Thirty-Six Techniques are the Great Divine Techniques. Yet now this compilation of minor spells is already a legendary Skill Badge. So what would the scenery of the Great Divine Techniques compilation defined by the system be like?

The difference between "technique" and "method" shouldn’t be inferior to the distinction between Magic and Magecraft in the Fate World, right? Since it seems like two completely different dimensions of mystery, does that mean the Celestial Spirit Technique is at least one major level higher than the Earth Fiend Technique?

So, if that’s the case, is there indeed a hidden level above legendary?

"Good morning, Gu Mo..."

At this moment, a clear and pleasant voice interrupted the youth’s thoughts.

Following the source of the sound, he saw on the nearby open ground a crack in the air, inside which many dark red eerie eyes looked outward. The golden-haired monster maiden emerged from it, smiling broadly at him.

Huh?

Gu Mo raised an eyebrow slightly, feeling a bit of a strange sense of dissonance.

"What’s wrong? Isn’t that how you say it? Or did I say it wrong?"

Yakumo Zi had just stepped out from the gap, noticing the subtle expression on his face, she too gazed at him with astonishment.

"But you greeted me this way before, saying it’s a greeting phrase, ’Good morning’ or ’Good night,’ perfect for use in the morning or evening, and ’classmate’ is also a friendly address... Is it not?"

She recalled the previous memory carefully, then saw Gu Mo’s subtle expression and couldn’t help looking at him with some suspicion.

——Could it be, this is actually some improper term?

——Was the other person just bullying me for not understanding before, solemnly saying this to me? And now, by trying it in return, it gets tested out?

"Oh, it’s nothing, it really is like that. I just felt... well, your learning ability is quite fast, so I was just reacting slowly for a moment."

Noticing the monster maiden’s gaze turning quickly suspicious, Gu Mo collected his thoughts and responded with a light chuckle: "Good morning, Miss Yakumo."

"Naturally, my learning ability has always been good..." Yakumo Zi scrutinized his expression, confirming there was nothing wrong, and then withdrew that suspicious look, replacing it with a smiling expression, nodding in agreement.

"After all, I don’t have any innate talents. To live better in this world, I can only keep learning, diligence compensates for clumsiness..."

This statement is really quite Versailles.

Oh? Wait...

Gu Mo blinked, puzzled: "Why does this sound kind of familiar? Did you steal my lines from last time?"

"How could that be, you must be mistaken..."

Yakumo Zi chuckled as she said this, her gaze mysteriously drifting elsewhere.

"Speaking of which, why are you using spells early in the morning... Do you have something urgent that needs magic?" She gazed curiously around the mountain forest shrouded in mist, the sky and earth seemingly covered by a huge veil, the white mist obscuring the morning light, making everything appear vague, illusory, and mysterious.

Moreover, the range affected is not limited to just this mountain.

The area covered by magic is vast, and even the Great Plains below the mountain, and regions farther away, are enveloped.

The golden-haired monster maiden sensed carefully, this seemed to be pure Divine Power Mist, stealing the elite of heaven and earth, borrowing the use of Ghost God, manifesting in the form of magic, even harder to disperse. Although it currently appears no different from ordinary fog, its nature destined it to be extraordinary.

Is there some deeper meaning?

Wanting to use this to cover something, or perhaps needing to utilize this Divine Power Mist as a springboard to further display some kind of magic?

She was so clever that she couldn’t help but have many associations about various things, in just a moment, she didn’t know how many hypotheses flashed through her Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart, attempting to decode Gu Mo’s intentions countless times.

However, the youth in the moon-white Daoist robe simply opened his mouth calmly: "No, just practicing regularly."

"Regular practice?" The monster maiden was stunned at hearing this.

She subconsciously examined the Divine Power Mist encompassing the heavens and earth again. Such a vast and astonishing range is actually just a regular practice?

Gu Mo explained: "Diligence compensates for clumsiness, after all, I have no innate talents, to live better in this world, I can only keep learning..."

"..."

"..."

Yakumo Zi couldn’t help but feel embarrassed, this phrase sounded familiar, as the other person directly took it back as a joke.

However, she quickly cleared her throat and naturally said: "I see, then you’re indeed very diligent..."

"Speaking of which, Miss Yakumo, is there something you need? Visiting so early today..." Gu Mo’s expression seemed to be laughing, yet he was genuinely curious. Speaking of which, this monster maiden was already visiting for the second time, aside from the awkward first acquaintance.
