Chapter 233

After listening to this anti-theft measure that was outrageous but effective, Leon couldn't help but grin speechlessly.

Those who don't have the level can't touch the Star Palace, and those who have the level don't dare to touch the Star Palace. If you talk about it this way, let alone throwing the Star Palace on the sun, even if it were thrown directly in front of other True Gods' houses, it might not necessarily be lost.

After giving a thumbs up to the predecessors of the Bureau of Cleanup from the bottom of his heart and knowing that there was no danger in this regard, Leon didn't mention the problem of divinity loss again, but looked at the last item among the three abilities of the Taurus Star Palace, "Law Endowment."

Without a doubt, this thing should be the true face of the twelve secret arts.

The twelve secret arts of the Bureau of Cleanup are actually twelve corresponding laws. Aries' "Strange Annihilation" might be a destruction-type law, Taurus's "Anomalous Forging" is clearly a forging law, and so on.

And the so-called "getting the Star Palace's recognition to learn the twelve secret arts" is, to put it bluntly, getting the law endowed by the Star Palace first, and then being able to learn the twelve techniques for using corresponding laws circulating in the Bureau of Cleanup.

To put it more simply, the Star Palace's 【Law Endowment】 is the car key, the qualification to start the car, and the twelve secret arts are the operation manual, the technology to drive the vehicle. The degree of mastery of secret arts is actually the degree of adaptation to the law.

Similarly, after getting the key and learning to drive, people with average driving skills might still be practicing how to reverse into the garage without markings, but talented players like the Aquarius Director are probably already starting to try drifting through corners.

"Although your metaphor is a bit strange, it seems correct to say so..."

After listening to Leon's summary and speculation, Taurus Director nodded thoughtfully:

"In the past so many generations, there seems to be no precedent for two people mastering the same secret art at the same time. Although I was chosen by the Star Palace and practiced the secret art in advance, the effect of actual operation can only be said to be okay. But after the previous generation Taurus Director passed away, my practice of the anomalous forging secret art began to advance by leaps and bounds."

"Hmm... if you put it this way, perhaps the situation is really as you said. The twelve secret arts circulating in the Bureau are actually just techniques for using corresponding 'laws.' Only by obtaining the Star Palace's endowment do you have the qualification to call corresponding authority."

And this means that as long as I, the director, am still alive, others' mastery of the Taurus secret art will always be just a superficial understanding. It is probably impossible to train more secret art practitioners.

Without saying this sentence, Taurus Director shook her head with regret, then looked up at Leon:

"It seems you can't learn my secret art, at least not this year... How about you change to another request?"

"Taurus Pavilion, I still want to try again."

Looking at the prompt 【Due to understanding the ability and operating rules of the "Celestial Luo Pan Fragment - Zodiac - Taurus," your resistance to this anomalous object has increased significantly, and you are now able to shield yourself from deep-level influences】 that appeared after touching and communicating, Leon insisted unwillingly:

"Although I need to accept the Star Palace's law endowment to learn the complete secret art, there are other people in the Bureau aside from you who can forge anomalous objects."

"So I still want to try again. Even if I can't master the complete anomalous forging secret art, it's good to be able to learn some superficial knowledge."

"Since you insist... then alright."

Looking at Leon, who was a bit "obsessed," Taurus Director thought for a while and didn't persuade him anymore, but directly nodded and agreed, beckoning Leon to come in front of her, and then said gently:

"Leon, I know you don't really just want to learn some superficial knowledge, but you are still hiding some secrets, feeling that maybe you can learn the complete Taurus secret art by relying on this secret."

After pointing out Leon's little thoughts, looking at Leon whose expression tightened slightly, Taurus Director smiled kindly:

"Don't worry, I don't mean to blame you."

"We humans are like this. Everyone actually secretly hides some things they don't want to share with others. I also have things I don't want to tell others. This is not a fault."

"The reason I tell you this is to remind you that no matter what method you are prepared to use, learning secret arts without getting the Star Palace's recognition is equivalent to confronting the Star Palace, and you might be suppressed by the Taurus Star Palace."

"So I hope you'd better be cautious. If you feel something is wrong, stop immediately. Don't try to be brave. It won't be good if you hurt yourself. With your talent and ability, even if you don't learn the secret art, you will definitely not be bad in the future... Come on, after you are ready, lean your head over."

"..."

Taurus Pavilion is truly... It feels like in her eyes, everyone is her child. There is always a feeling of being tolerated...

Looking at the old lady in front of him who didn't care about his little thoughts but waited for him to prepare patiently, Leon felt a heat on his face, responded vaguely, and leaned over with some embarrassment.

"Then I'm starting."

After greeting Leon, Taurus Director's slightly aged fingers, holding a touch of dark brown fluorescent light, pressed slowly toward Leon's brow.

Immediately after, as if being resisted by a flashlight, Leon's forehead followed and lit up slightly. The dark brown fluorescent light gradually dissipated with the contact, as if it were sweet dew nourishing the soil, seeping into Leon's brain in stars and dots.

"The anomalous forging secret art of our Taurus lineage, to put it bluntly, is actually not that difficult, and it's even a bit like the craft of forging metal."

Accompanied by the slow narration, an old man with a slightly hunched back appeared abruptly in Leon's mind, pointing to a furnace burning red, and explained to the group of "apprentices" behind him with a smile:

"Find suitable anomalies or materials, like heating iron ore, use your power to 'heat' it. Once it loses its stable form and rules, the preparatory work is done."

"The subsequent steps are also very similar. Forging ironware requires forging and shaping, removing impurities, and increasing strength. Forging anomalous objects is the same."

"Use your will and brain to swing the hammer, let the form and rules of the anomalous object change in the direction you want, and then carefully comb and remove the messy rules that are not needed, and distribute the limited strength in the most suitable direction... Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

When the apprentices were all in trouble, a young man with a square head stood out and summarized confidently:

"It's just burning with fierce strength first! Then smashing with fierce strength after burning! Once smashed well, the anomalous object is forged."

"That's right! It's that simple!"

The hunched old man was overjoyed upon hearing this, sucked his missing half-front teeth, waved his hand happily, and conjured up dozens of ferocious monsters that were three stories high on average, spitting out fierce blood fire from their nasal cavities.

"Come! These are the cubs of the Blood Flame Demon God. When I went to the abyss to hunt him down last month, I took them out of his nest. Each of you take one and go back to burn! Once you understand the burning, come back to me to learn the rest!"

"..."

Looking at the dozen or so apprentices who were terrified and started "burning," but were chased by the materials until they were jumping around, and even burned by the blood flame until they were covered in blisters, Leon couldn't help but smack his lips speechlessly.

The teaching method of the predecessors of the Bureau of Cleanup is really rough... Speaking of which, the way Taurus Pavilion teaches him the secret art is actually giving a piece of memory directly? So this is the process of a certain Taurus Director learning the secret art?

The long memory is still continuing. Under Leon's curious peeping, a dozen or so unlucky secret art apprentices experienced countless hardships, were chased by various "materials" until they were crying, and people kept being absent or crying to quit.

Only that square-headed man persisted from beginning to end, never giving up regardless of the hardships he encountered, and his willpower and talent were excellent to an outrageous degree, and in the very end... he became the next director of the Bureau of Cleanup.?????

Looking at the square-headed man who sat on the director's seat reluctantly, and a certain passerby who was tortured by materials who knows how many times but inexplicably became the Taurus Director, Leon, who finished watching the whole set of teaching memories, was dumbfounded.

Is there something wrong with the development of this plot?

Shouldn't it be the most excellent apprentice who successfully gets the recognition of the previous Taurus Director and the Taurus Star Palace, and successfully inherits the director's position? How did he become the director while learning? What about the Taurus secret art?

"It's because he is too excellent."

After Leon woke up from the memory of the third-generation Taurus Director and asked his question, Taurus Director asked back with a smile:

"The square-headed young man you saw should be the third-generation director of the Bureau of Cleanup. Since he is already so excellent, why should he inherit the Taurus secret art to be a director? Isn't it better to be the director of the Bureau of Cleanup directly?"

"..."

No problem, if you put it this way, the most excellent talent should indeed be the director directly... But there is a feeling of disappointment...

After smacking his lips speechlessly, Leon wanted to ask two more questions, but saw Taurus Director smiling:

"Forget about him for now. How about you? How did you learn the secret art? How much did you master?"

"For me..."

Hearing Taurus Director's question, Leon looked at his badge panel and answered uncertainly:

"Although what I learned is not the complete version, can it be considered an introduction?"

【After accepting the memory gifted by Taurus Director, you successfully obtained the cultivation method of the Taurus secret art "Anomalous Forging," and in the observation of the memory space, you obtained a large amount of relevant precious experience, and activated the Bai Yin-level badge "Secret Art Inheritor" with this】

【Secret Art Inheritor: The inheritor of the Bureau of Cleanup's Taurus secret art, mastering the usage techniques of corresponding laws, but because the corresponding law has been occupied by the Taurus Star Palace, those who have not obtained the endowment can almost not call it, so it can only be counted as a "Dragon-Slaying Technique"】

【Wearing Effect: Even if the support of the corresponding law is missing, but having witnessed the entire process of the Bureau of Cleanup's third-generation director and the third-generation Taurus Director practicing the Taurus secret art, you still obtained the qualification to use the degraded version of the Taurus secret art, and can exert the characteristics of the anomalous materials in your hands to forge some anomalous objects with levels far lower than your own infection value】

【Advancement Route: After the current Taurus Director dies, if you can successfully obtain the control of the "Celestial Luo Pan Fragment - Zodiac - Taurus," this badge will automatically advance to the Gold badge "Taurus Director"】

【Hidden Characteristic: Due to being able to shield part of the influence of the Taurus Star Palace, when you are forging anomalous objects, you can forcibly steal a small amount of relevant laws under the suppression of the Taurus Star Palace to improve the effect of the anomalous forging secret art】

And aside from 【Secret Art Inheritor】, after observing the practice process of the Taurus secret art, due to a certain degree of analogy, the Aquarius secret art actually provided a badge as well.

【After accepting the weights of the "Scales of Truth" and observing the practice method of the Bureau of Cleanup's secret art, you comprehended the cultivation method of the secret art "Anomalous Creation" and activated the Bai Yin-level badge "Secret Art Inheritor"】

【Secret Art Inheritor:...】

【Wearing Effect: Even if the support of the corresponding law is missing... in the case of having suitable materials, create some anomalous objects with levels far lower than your own infection value】

【Advancement Route:...】

【Hidden Characteristic: None】

So... just by looking at the memories of the previous Taurus Directors, without any practice, do you think you have already entered the door?

Looking at Leon, whose eyes were a bit "drifting," Taurus Director couldn't help but frown slightly, worried that he had the problem of high-mindedness and low-handedness. After thinking for a while, she took out a blood-red bird egg and handed it over.

"This is the egg of the Hell Desire Meat Bird. When forging anomalous objects of the physical enhancement type, as long as you add one of these things, you can significantly improve the user's perception of the body and avoid losing control directly due to the soaring physical fitness."

After explaining the origin of this bird egg, with the intention of giving a small warning to let Leon not talk on paper, Taurus Director requested:

"If I remember correctly, the first lesson of the anomalous forging secret art should be burning and melting materials, making them lose their stable form and rules, so as to carry out subsequent forging."

"Then since you think you have entered the door, why not 'burn' this egg of desire and meat, and let me see how well you have mastered it."

This is... to test me?

After hearing Taurus Director's words, although he didn't fully understand the operation method of the Taurus secret art, looking at the two new silver badges he had obtained, Leon nodded, put on both new badges, and accepted this "pop quiz."

'Forging anomalies is just burning with fierce strength first! Then smashing with fierce strength after burning! Once smashed well, the anomalous object is forged.'

Recalling the square-headed director's confident summary in his mind, Leon took a deep breath, mobilized all his "infection values," first fried the egg with fierce fire, then smashed it with heavy hammers, and folded it according to the techniques of those apprentices.

Even because he was worried that the force was not enough, when he reached the "collecting juice" stage, he added a little Aquarius secret art trick, picked out the thickest rules in this 【Egg of Desire and Meat】, and then like changing the font size of the title, he fiercely bolded! Painted black! Enlarged! Highlighting an eye-catching!

Done!

Looking at the bird egg that was originally hard and abnormal, gradually becoming soft and loose, and carrying a strange feeling unique to anomalous objects, Leon couldn't help but nod in satisfaction, then reached out and poked his first work.

【Name: Egg of Sharpness】

【Appearance: An oval object with a black-red color and slightly loose, the appearance is not good, but it is filled with a strong evil atmosphere】

【Ability: Flesh Sharpness, Demon Temperament】

【Cost: Small loss of physical strength】

【File: Secret Art Inheritor Leon Lane, a special anomalous object created by collecting the two secret arts of the Bureau of Cleanup and his own will full of demon atmosphere, which can make the target chosen as the target look more evil, and make the egg on his left side become slightly sensitive】

【Evaluation: The most worthless demon creation in history, and there is no one else】

【Infection Value: 01】

"..."

What the hell???

Could it be that the material Taurus Director took out just now was not a bird egg, but... a bird "egg"?
