    "It really is like a dream..."


    After being brought back to the ground by the suspended motorbike, Tao Yu returned home, where he could still smell lingering traces of a faint fragrance.


    This time it was real, not an illusion.


    It was both an ident and a gain.


    Yet, thinking of what the little rich girl said to him, Tao Yu also felt some pressure.


    "Her situation is definitely not normal, plus she had to take special time to suppress and adapt, which probably means she herself is facing no small trouble."


    The little rich girl didn''t borate, but Tao Yu, after all, had a broad perspective and plenty of imagination from his past life.


    In his past life, he had been through the baptism of short videos, and this time around, he attracted attention due to his talent.


    Yet, he had always maintained ample self-control.


    Even with the filter of her wealth, it couldn''t be like it is now.


    Especially the twenty minutes and thirteen times she made him exhibit signs of a psychological shadow, which adequately demonstrated her difference.


    He relied on "Taming" from the second Deification to achieve a simr effect, but what was her secret to achieving this?


    "Subus, maybe..."


    Recalling some subtle moments at the critical time, Tao Yu spected.


    People from the Floating City really are much bolder than those from both the Inner and Outer City!


    Tao Yu didn''t know whether the Suns had originally escaped from the Abyss or if they had started to experiment with itter on.


    But they certainly did something extraordinary, which even the Suns probably had difficulty covering up.


    Otherwise, Sun Shiyu wouldn''t have mentioned needing to adapt to the changes at home for a while.


    Sensing his current four hundred thousand Yuan Force, Tao Yu slowly exhaled a breath.


    "If she''s still aroundter on, there probably won''t be such a dramatic increase in gains like there has been recently."


    He found a new fragment for the Chosen One, then reaped the benefits of vines and information,pleted three quick missions in the Inner City while still rtively unknown, and secured the little rich girl''s red envelope.


    His pockets had indeed be considerably richer.


    With his talent''s second Deificationpleted, he could now choose another foundational Skill!


    "To gain more, I''ll have to explore new world fragments. Facing the unknown Abyss, enhancing fundamentals is never excessive."


    Currently, he has Deified one of the two "Stealth" skills, and next he could choose between the remaining "Stealth" + "Meditation Technique" or "Myriad Streams Breathing Technique" and "Five Forms as One" individually.


    These are his core fundamental skills.


    It''s a pity "Demonization" is too expensive, requiring a full six hundred thousand, otherwise it could have been an option.


    "One side is the mental aspect, the other is continuing to strengthen the physique. Although I would have to invest in both sooner orter, the choice is still difficult..."


    Purely for immediatebat power, "Myriad Streams Breathing Technique" is undoubted.


    Currently, the burst and umtion of his force is his strongest killing skill.


    Coupled with the one-sword flow of Shadow Control, it significantly elevates many of his upper limits.


    Plus, with "Innate Time Control" and its heavenly effects, theoretically, as long as he continues to increase his attacks to reach the kill threshold, he will be able to confront even stronger enemies.


    "However..., I''ve actually far exceeded it already."


    Tao Yu, who had not yet encountered a situation requiring intervention in original time, and recalling how "Meditation Technique" interacted with many of his skills, ultimately made a choice.


    Second Deification of "Stealth·Alien" and "Meditation Technique"!


    The first, bring about further strengthening of his absorption of Shadow Force, elevating his limits even without having Deified the "Myriad Streams Breathing Technique."


    "Meditation Technique" is to continue enhancing his mental side of attacks, fortifying the spiritual output of "Fist Intention."


    The second Deification of "Stealth·Alien" costs around ny thousand, and "Meditation Technique" is just over two hundred thousand. With that done, he would still have about one hundred thousand left for emergencies and daily cultivation, which is absolutely enough!


    "Outsiders speak of Yuan Force consumption in the tens and hundreds of thousands, which really is somewhat luxurious."


    Tao Yu took a deep breath and then invested without hesitation!


    The second Deification of "Stealth·Alien" was standard, an enhanced version of "Stealth·Python," which could also be stacked together.


    His leaping distance in shadows further increased, while the ability to amplify and gather Shadow Force speedily intensified.


    ```


    Atst, Tao Yu no longer had to keep hijacking the zombies'' Shadow Force and could even nurture and give back to it in turn. Cao Shaolin''s eyes could finally afford some time for repair, and he didn''t need to wear an eyepatch anymore.


    The Deification of Stealth was also within Tao Yu''s expectations, after all, he had already deified a skill before.


    However, as more Yuan Force was infused into the Meditation Technique, Tao Yu felt as if a bolt of lightning had suddenly struck the Visualization Diagram in his mind.


    It was as though a sh of lightning had directly hit the Visualization Diagram that had begun to outline his five sensory organs, instantly making it clearer.


    And to Tao Yu''s surprise, he gained a special perspective from the position of the Visualization Diagram!


    "What is this..."


    Tao Yu''s eyes were somewhat nk as he felt he could elevate his perspective to directly view his own existence, and this ''elevation'' seemed not so much a rise in physical height as it was an indescribable ''higher dimension''.


    "This..."


    Returning to his original perspective, Tao Yu was a bit bemused.


    Although it had been only a brief moment, Tao Yu had already felt his thoughts and spiritual power purified once again, raising his mental ceiling even higher.


    And while this anticipated improvement was manageable, the key was that Tao Yu became aware of a new sensation brought about by the Meditation Technique.


    "Blessing... well, that''s something."


    Tao Yu looked down at his hand, not in the sense of enhancing his spiritual power with an added mental attack.


    This could be achieved by Basic Combat and Fist Intent in different forms.


    Meditation Technique: Abridged, can additionally consume spirit to cause a localized copse in favor of oneself.


    A brief piece of information, yet imbued with a profound feeling.


    Tao Yu silently took out a button and flicked it without any control other than the mental expenditure.


    The button tumbled rapidly through the air, thennded steadily on the ground, standing upright.


    It soon started rolling because of the uneven surface and eventually toppled over.


    Apart from an inexplicable consumption of mental energy, Tao Yu did not exert any extra control, and the upright fall was not the result of Tao Yu''s use of telekic-like maniption.


    He did not possess mental-type skills capable of achieving such finely-tuned control effects.


    It was purely a ''natural'' change!


    Although it seemed rather insignificant, Tao Yu had already recognized the terrifying potential of the Meditation Technique after its second Deification.


    "Is this really the potential that a skill can bring about? Although it''s too advanced for me now, to the point of wastefulness, its essence is still exaggerated..."


    What had previously astonished Tao Yu was the Innate Time Control''s involvement with time.


    And Meditation Technique seemed to have lightly touched the surface of causality!


    Here I am, mainly using guns and engaging in hand-to-handbat, and you bring out this kind of thing?


    The style doesn''t match!


    "But it seems to fit the consistent characteristics of Deification, high in essence, but still requiring strength to leverage."


    Tao Yu vaguely felt that the changes in Meditation Technique might be rted to the Visualization Diagram having be his own.


    And the previous second Deification bonus of Fist Intention indirectly reflected onto the head of Meditation Technique.


    "Out with the old, in with the new, it''s time to return to the Abyss. I can''t really let the wealthy heiress hide in the golden house."


    Tao Yu''s eyes also revealed a burst of drive at this time.


    His advantages and potentialid before him, although he couldn''t catch up to the heiress in a short time, his future achievements were bound to be higher.


    If there''s going to be golden house hiding, it should be by his doing, how could he let her take the lead?


    A person with glitches like him, where''s the dignity?


    "One day, I will be the pir you can lean on..."


    While making up his mind, Tao Yu also began to sit cross-legged andmune with the will of the world. As the quarter-hour psed, he gradually began to disappear mosaic-like from inside the room.


    Abyss, here Ie again...
