Chapter 1650: Ophiuchus Secret Technique

This is impossible!

Watching Li Ang, who drilled into the ground as naturally as a fish entering water and floated out without any resistance, and then began to curiously drill in and out of the ground, the Ophiuchus Director's two eyeballs couldn't help but widen, almost popping out of their sockets.

No... didn't the stone tablet recording the secret technique in the Ophiuchus Palace say that only people with pure hearts could learn it? How could someone like him, who is full of calculations, maintain the purity of his mind?

And it's only been five minutes since I finished explaining the entry method! I spent a full two years back then just to stretch one foot into an Anomalous Object, and you can go in and out in just five minutes? You... you...

This is actually quite interesting...

After experiencing the wonderful feeling of swimming in the stone tablet after drilling in and out of the Anomalous Object ground "transformed" by the Ophiuchus Director, Li Ang looked at the shining 【Secret Technique Inheritor (Ophiuchus)】 on the badge panel, then commented with amazement:

"Amazing, being able to merge with Anomalous Objects, absorb Anomalous Objects to become part of the body, endow the body with the characteristics of Anomalous Objects, or conversely, become part of an Anomalous Object to strengthen its effects."

"What a crazy and genius concept. I don't know how the first-generation Ophiuchus Director figured it out... *uh*... although it doesn't feel very practical, this idea is really quite remarkable."

"???"

What do you mean "not very practical"?

Upon hearing Li Ang's evaluation of the 【Anomalous Transformation】 secret technique, the Ophiuchus Director, who was struggling with why he wasn't rejected by the Anomalous Object, felt a lump in his heart.

"Where is it not practical? It's very practical, okay?"

After unable to help glaring at Li Ang, the Ophiuchus Director retorted with a hint of anger:

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! The 【Anomalous Transformation】 of the Ophiuchus Palace is absolutely one of the best among the thirteen secret techniques! Except for the 【Anomalous Destruction】 of the Aries Palace, it absolutely suppresses the other eleven secret techniques!"

"..."

These words... they sound a bit familiar?

Hearing the Ophiuchus Director's words, Li Ang recalled slightly, and then remembered that it seemed more than one Director had said similar things when teaching him secret techniques, including Aquarius, Taurus, Sagittarius, Cancer...

In short, except for the 【Anomalous Destruction】 secret technique of the Aries Palace which they indeed acknowledged as powerful, the secret techniques of their own palaces—Aquarius, Taurus, Sagittarius, Cancer, etc. —also had their own unique features and absolutely suppressed the other small spicy chickens.

Anyway, they acknowledged Aries as first, but their own palace's secret technique was absolutely not bad, at least stronger than the other eleven small spicy chickens.

"Don't think this is all there is to the Ophiuchus secret technique. You've only learned how to use it; you're still far from mastering this secret technique!"

Seeing that Li Ang didn't respond to him, the Ophiuchus Director couldn't help but hum, then said with a bad expression:

"You've only managed to briefly 'enter' the Anomalous Object. Later, you have to learn how to maintain the merged state for a long time; use the Anomalous Object to strengthen your own flesh or soul; as well as merge yourself into the Anomalous Object; and use yourself to strengthen the effects of the Anomalous Object, etc.!"

"Further on, there are techniques like splitting yourself to merge into different Anomalous Objects and strengthening them separately; accommodating multiple Anomalous Objects in one body while ensuring these Anomalous Objects take effect simultaneously; and merging into Anomalous Objects that don't belong to you, and so on and so forth!"

After counting seven or eight advanced operations of the 【Anomalous Transformation】 secret technique, looking at Li Ang, who was thoughtful, the Ophiuchus Director raised his head and hummed: "In short, you've only learned the first level now, mastering the trick of 'entering' the Anomalous Object. There's still a lot for you to learn... *Wait*, what is this?"

"This is the 【Anomalous Strengthening】 secret technique I learned when I attended a lecture at the Sagittarius Palace while participating in the selection."

After dividing the Anomalous Object ground into eight, "strengthening" them into a group of three-headed black dogs, Li Ang patted the head of one of the black dogs and asked under the Ophiuchus Director's stunned gaze:

"I didn't think about these before, but after learning your Ophiuchus secret technique, I should also be able to let them merge into me and become part of me. And it's not limited to my own Anomalous Objects; others' should work too... Does this count as accommodating multiple Anomalous Objects in one body?"

"..."

Looking at the three-headed black dogs that had broken free from his control and become part of Li Ang, the Ophiuchus Director's mouth couldn't help but open. He felt that his already not-so-full brain had been thoroughly stirred into a pot of porridge.

This is no longer just accommodation in one body; it's accommodation in one body plus splitting and hijacking. This belongs to one of the highest-level usages of the Ophiuchus secret technique. I'm not even very proficient in it myself, and you're telling me this is the Sagittarius secret technique?

You, a Director of the Aquarius Palace, just learned a little bit of the Sagittarius secret technique while participating in the selection, and as a result, you achieved the highest achievement of my Ophiuchus Palace secret technique... This isn't right, is it?!

And what kind of Sagittarius secret technique is this? I haven't seen the Sagittarius Director before? Is his secret technique used like this? Does this secret technique of yours have anything to do with his secret technique other than the name?

While the Ophiuchus Director's brain was on the verge of crashing, following the feeling that he could "absorb" the black dogs at any time, Li Ang added a little force to his hands, trying to use the two secret techniques of the Sagittarius Palace and the Ophiuchus Palace at the same time.

!

And under Li Ang's operation, the black dogs strengthened—or rather, polluted—by the Sagittarius Palace secret technique instantly disintegrated, turning into a sky full of black water, and then, as if sucked away by a pump, rapidly poured into Li Ang's right hand.

Immediately after, the other black dogs that had been separated also rapidly approached under Li Ang's guidance, touched different parts of his body one after another, and merged into him like milk and water.

"I feel like this effect should be about the same as what you said?"

After clenching his right hand slightly and feeling the cold and hard skin that had become like brick and stone, Li Ang looked up at the Ophiuchus Director, whose eyes were straight, and asked tentatively:

"Is there anything else?"

"..."

"Actually, including this one, I've learned seven secret techniques, but the other six were learned quite ordinarily, and they are quite different from the versions they taught. This one is the only secret technique I didn't learn wrong... *uh*... it seems my compatibility with the Ophiuchus secret technique is actually quite good."

After shaking his hands slightly and shaking out the black dogs that had merged into his body, Li Ang, who had learned a star palace secret technique correctly for the first time and was bursting with a sense of achievement, asked for advice sincerely:

"Ophiuchus-gexia, I take back what I said before. This secret technique is actually quite good. I am very interested in it now... so can you teach me something else?"

"..."

Learn! I'll let you learn!
