Object Control

[Gun] and [Staff Technique] had enormous similarities and could be fused.

So, [Zhi Ge Spear Technique] + [Yuan Chuang Staff Technique].

[Long Weapon Control]

[Blade Technique] and [Sword Technique] also had things in common. After all, outside of China, blades and swords were not really distinguished.

[Zhi Ge Saber Technique] + [Cheng Hui Sword Technique]

[Master of Blades]

Long weapons and blades also shared common ground—they were both cold weapons.

So.

[Long Weapon Control] + [Master of Blades]

[Cold Weapon Control]

He also had a level 3 Woodworking skill.

[Woodworking] + [Cold Weapon Control]

Fine, these two could not be fused.

Hyuga Ningyuan opened the [Cold Weapon Control] skill entry and read its description.

[Cold Weapon Control]: Mastery and application of cold weapons such as blades, guns, swords, halberds, axes, battle-axes, hooks, forks, whips, rods, hammers, claws, tangs, staffs, lances, clubs, crutches, meteor hammers, daggers, military spikes, and more.

The definition of cold weapons was broad. As long as it was an implement held in the hand to attack enemies, it counted as a cold weapon.

Even if you held an AK, if you used it to smash someone, then at that moment, that AK was also a cold weapon.

If that was the case...

Hyuga Ningyuan immediately thought of someone who had mastered this skill—Jackie Chan!

A man invincible even in a furniture store.

There seemed to be another skill similar to this one, called [Knight Never Fights Unarmed]. That Round Table knight could turn anything into his Noble Phantasm and use it proficiently.

Was this the pinnacle of the skill?

Obviously not.

Because Hyuga Ningyuan had another skill: [Projection].

Clearly, [Projection] and [Cold Weapon Control] were closely connected, because any weapon could be thrown to inflict damage.

Then, [Projection] + [Cold Weapon Control].

[Weapon Master]!

[Weapon Master]: You can proficiently wield any weapon in any way imaginable to a human, as long as you can lift it!

Was this the limit of the skill?

Obviously, it was not!

Hyuga Ningyuan browsed through the system and found another skill that could fuse with [Weapon Master].

[Glazed Robe].

[Glazed Robe] was Chakra transformed into Telekinetic Power. A level 5 Glazed Robe could already lift a 50 kg object, and the vast majority of weapons would not exceed that weight.

Therefore, [Glazed Robe] could also control weapons, so naturally, [Glazed Robe] and [Weapon Master] could be fused!

Come on!

[Glazed Robe] + [Weapon Master]

[Object Control]

"Holy shit!" Hyuga Ningyuan's eyes lit up.

Glazed Robe was a yellow skill.

The repeatedly fused [Weapon Master] was also a yellow skill.

Logically, [yellow] + [yellow] should have fused into a green skill.

But [Object Control] was not green. It was blue!

This was a blue skill, on the same level as [Phoenix Genealogy Chart]!

But why?

[Phoenix Genealogy Chart] was a fundamental cultivation method, one that could be cultivated to an extremely high realm. What gave [Object Control] the right?

Read the description.

[Object Control]: You can use Qi to control objects. You can also use Qi to leave a mark inside an object, then consume Qi to control the object remotely.

And then? That was it?

"Is that all?" Hyuga Ningyuan frowned. Since he did not know where the problem lay, he might as well try it.

He did not have many things on hand, only books and the clothes he wore.

He injected Qi into the copy of Poison Identification and Antidotes in his hand, and Hyuga Ningyuan vaguely felt a connection to the book.

But it was very weak.

"Add more Qi!" Another stream of Qi flowed in.

Hyuga Ningyuan understood the value of this technique.

Not every material could carry Chakra. At least for now, there was only one material in the ninja world with that capability: Chakra Metal.

But with this skill, any material could be infused with Chakra.

His Chakra had healing properties. If I infused my Chakra into a sheet of Bai Zhi, wouldn't that be equivalent to a healing talisman?

Of course, Hyuga Ningyuan would never do such a thing. Otherwise, the village would definitely exploit him, making him print healing talismans nonstop for eighteen hours a day apart from sleep.

"That should be enough!" Hyuga Ningyuan felt that his connection with the book had become close enough. It even felt as if the book were part of his body.

He no longer needed to open his eyes to see every word on every page of the book.

No, it was not really seeing. It was a very peculiar sensation.

When he released his hand, the book floated lightly above it.

It looked as though he was holding the book, but his hand was actually still several millimeters away from it!

"Turn the page!"

With a rustle, the pages began flipping on their own. He had not made a move, and there was no wind in the room.

"Transform the characters!" The words in the book were also part of the book and thus within the scope of Object Control.

Hyuga Ningyuan watched as the words on the pages scrambled about before forming an entirely new article!

He could even separate the strokes and ink, then recombine them into words or patterns that had not existed in the book!

"This ability can be used to forge letters and scrolls, and it can also be used for communication!" Hyuga Ningyuan thought of an application, but it still did not seem particularly useful.

Wait, no!

This ability was useful—extremely useful!

Do not forget, he was from the Hyuga Clan!

His Chakra could not only be released through his hands and acupoints, but also through the Byakugan!

The range at which he could release it was the Byakugan's observation range!

And his observation range was 1.2 kilometers!

That meant he could use the Byakugan to remotely inject Chakra into objects 1.2 kilometers away, then control them.

Furthermore, the Byakugan's vision had extremely powerful penetration. There were very few things in this world that could block its sight!

And the Byakugan's gaze was exceptionally covert, making it almost impossible for others to notice!

He could control rocks and trees to deal with enemies.

But what if I used it to control the Scroll of Seals?

Wouldn't I be able to read the contents of the Scroll of Seals through [Object Control]?

What, you said the Scroll of Seals had seals on it?

Sorry, the seals were also part of the Scroll of Seals. [Object Control] could control them too!

"Sorry, I was too loud just now. I apologize!" Even though he was ecstatic inside, [Mirror Water] allowed him to remain calm.

"Let's test it first!" Hyuga Ningyuan calmed down. He remembered that what the Byakugan emitted was not Chakra, but something produced after Chakra was transformed through the Byakugan.

Since it was no longer Chakra, it naturally was not Qi either, while [Object Control] required Qi to be injected.

Maybe it would not work!

"Byakugan!" Hyuga Ningyuan quietly activated his Byakugan with Qi and looked at another book.

After a long while, the book showed no reaction at all, much less formed a connection with him!

"Fine! The Byakugan really does process Qi into something else!" Hyuga Ningyuan frowned.

It was frustrating. Takeoff was right in front of him, yet he could not make it happen.

Unless he could turn what the Byakugan emitted into Qi, or invent a technique that could diffuse Qi.

The good news was that such a technique existed. It was called [Chakra Perception]!

The bad news was that this technique was also written in the [Scroll of Seals], and ordinary people could not access it!
