I Don't Agree to the Terms-Chapter 591 - 321: Child Skill Again! It Rendered Me Silent_2

Despite his disdain, Gu Shanhai still considered himself not strong enough. If it was practical, he would even abandon his humanity, so why would he fear the Child Skill? Even if a hundred sets came at him, Gu Shanhai could integrate them into the strongest set of Child Skill.

"Speaking of which, the ’Evil Demon Monster Child Skill’ is indeed quite sinister; no wonder it was given away."

If the "Innate Indestructible Child Skill" was due to a death drop, then this "Evil Demon Monster Child Skill" definitely looked like a losing deal. Even if both skills augmented the player’s attributes equally, when placed in the auction house, the latter’s price would be at least thirty percent lower.

Not for any other reason, but because training in the "Evil Demon Monster Child Skill" too much could alter one’s appearance. If it transformed someone into a pleasing appearance like Fu Rui, it might still be seen as positive charm. But judging from the name, how could it possibly change in that direction? Instead, it could turn one into an eerie, half-demon, half-devil creature.

Thus, even a thirty percent price reduction might not attract buyers.

Only certain specific players might consider purchasing, making it a niche situation.

"Can train, must be modified, and can also increase the limit," Gu Shanhai summarized after reviewing the Child Skill.

In fact, if a collection of hundreds of Child Skill books were gathered and modified, it could indeed become an extremely powerful ability.

In his previous life, there was a martial arts player known as the ’Occam’s Razor Practitioner,’ who relied on the Five Tigers Breaking Door Saber and the Grass Flies techniques—two very common cultivation techniques—and managed to surge to the top tier by continuously stacking these skills from the low, middle, high to the Immortal Martial World.

The result was an absolutely monstrous creation.

It seemed like just two skills, but with continuous upgrades and enhancements through various props, their power was unimaginably potent.

Yes, just two skills, but these covered all aspects like judgments and immunities.

His method of dealing with opponents was simply slashing them with his saber—there were no fancy saber intents or qi, just a plain slash that killed.

As for why he learned Grass Flies, the answer was simple: to catch up with the enemy, because how could he kill them if he couldn’t catch them?

It sounded quite amusing, but in reality, his approach was akin to integrating and mastering the martial arts of hundreds of families as his own.

If Gu Shanhai could also collect a large number of Child Skills like him to summarize and refine, constantly perfecting and supplementing his own Qi Refinement with Child Skill aspects, he could also achieve that plain and unadorned prowess.

But the issue was even if he dared to train in it, he wouldn’t announce it. Unlike the unrestricted Five Tigers Breaking Door Saber and Grass Flies, if others knew that Gu Shanhai had gathered a large number of Child Skills, they’d only think, "You’re not married yet, are you?"

The restrictions of the Child Skill were well known, especially the various advanced forms. Generally, no one would train in them. Even if they did, they would eventually switch to skills like Vajra Unbreakable Divine Skill and Thirteen Grand Protectors’ Cross Training, primarily as transitional phases, since no skill could guarantee lifelong mastery.

"But training like this, it seems to be growing more and more unlike a human," Gu Shanhai observed, testing the newly deduced form of the Child Skill. The technique seemed good, but its only flaw was it was too bizarre, easily leading his style astray.

"Why, after training, can it also enhance Guardian Demon and Heart Demon Dao Soldiers?"

Looking at the latest data, Gu Shanhai was a bit disordered.

"Does this mean if it’s the White Tiger or a Heart Demon substitute, does the power of the Heart Demon substitute also increase...?"

Gu Shanhai felt momentarily at a loss for words; this was indeed outrageous, but it also confirmed that the newly born Child Skill was more versatile.

"Too bad the underlying logic can’t be changed; if it could, I’d completely transform it!"

While he was pondering, he noticed the surrounding area was silent.

His Spiritual Sense instantly expanded, and he discovered that within hundreds of miles, everything seemed to have been silenced.

He spoke to conduct a test, and although the corresponding physical rules responded, there just wasn’t any sound at all, as if all the sounds had been absorbed.

He knew of this phenomenon, an anomaly from the influence of the Great Ruin upon the Adventurer King’s world.

It lasted a few seconds at its shortest, with no defined duration at its longest; the most prolonged anomaly still hadn’t disappeared.

"Damn it, why did it have to happen to me!" Gu Shanhai wanted to curse out at the fates, but then he remembered that the heavens were victims just like him, so it didn’t seem quite right to curse them.

From the data he had collected, it seemed to be just a disappearance of sound, which posed no harm to him, but he had to write a report.

The Saints had strict surveillance over the various anomalies frequently occurring in the world; Gu Shanhai could usually find an excuse to avoid responsibility when they were far from him.

But now, it had hit right at his residence, and he found himself enveloped in it, unable to find any reason to excuse himself.

In the end, he had no choice but to collect data on the entire Silent Realm and compile a report as he grumbled and cursed, then send it out to all the Saints.

"All this is useless, it’s just data chaos."

Gu Shanhai quickly identified the problem and then began writing his report.

If there was any benefit to him, there definitely was—at least it was quieter when he worked. As for forming something like a silence aura or a quiet aura, his mana aura had already encompassed those.

The reason for the silence wasn’t anything special; it was just disorder and fragmentation of rules. If he mixed it into his mana aura, it would result in the entire aura becoming disordered and fragmented, which would not only be unhelpful but harmful to him.

Gu Shanhai’s mana aura was powerful because he had balanced all the auras, like how the fire aura could work alongside the frost aura, letting enemies experience burns and frostbite simultaneously. Adding this disordered fragmentation could potentially blow up enemies, or worse, himself.

If the explosion had more powerful effects, then it might be useful. However, because of its inherently chaotic nature, the power of the explosion was unpredictable. Moreover, this seemed like a random program; where could it match the explosiveness Gu Shanhai had meticulously calibrated in his aura?

Thus, it was not just a matter of being useless; in Gu Shanhai’s case, it was a complete waste.

"I still underestimated the Great Ruin. The players might save the Adventurer King’s world, but what it will turn into afterwards is unknown."

Gu Shanhai’s expression also turned somewhat grave. This sudden experience of the Silent Realm truly posed no danger, but it didn’t mean that other anomalies were not dangerous.

Restoring the situation would be impossible without ten or fifteen years, and even the Saints were helpless. If they were gods, they might help sort things out, but now, the repair was up to the Adventurer King’s world itself.

"However, if it successfully avoids the Great Ruin and is completely engulfed by the ’First Era’, the ’First Era’ should also provide funds for repairs."

The "First Era" wasn’t foolish; having secured a world, they of course intended for it to be used as a long-term investment. If they squeezed it dry now, it would merely be a one-time, short-term gain, likely not even recouping their initial investment.

At first glance, it seemed like players were the saviors. But without the cooperation of the "First Era," even top-tier players wouldn’t have sufficient capacity to ensure the Adventurer King’s world remained unaffected by the Great Ruin.

The reason for this method, Gu Shanhai felt, was likely also the "First Era"’s way of putting players through a major training exercise, a rare opportunity not to be missed.

"Tsk, many benefits in one stroke." Gu Shanhai could only comment thus. Otherwise, what use would swearing do? He had no grudges with the "First Era," the Adventurer King’s world, or the players.

"But I also need to find a new place. It feels weird without any sound."

Though this anomaly wasn’t dangerous yet, who knew if it would mutate into something dangerous? It was better to run away quickly.
