28 Moves and the Golden Leaf

Zhao Nan checked his attribute panel and felt quite satisfied.

He then looked at the weapon in his hand, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

During this trip to the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Zhao Nan had not only comprehended the profound mysteries of the Earth Laws, but had also grasped two of them, even managing to fuse them together.

At the same time, Zhao Nan had perfected his ultimate techniques—not just one, but six.

One technique was created based on the Wind Element, which he named Gale Kill.

This was a wide-range attack method that summoned endless Wind Elements to form individual wind blades to strike at enemies.

The technique created based on the Wind Space was named Prison Dilemma.

This move utilized the profound mystery of Wind Space to form a sealed area, continuously using spatial power to slice at the enemy.

As for the technique created by fusing the Wind Element and Wind Space mysteries, Zhao Nan named it Extreme Space Rift.

This move was divided into single-target and multi-target versions; its ability was a combination of Gale Kill and Prison Dilemma, first using Wind Space to bind the opponent, followed by countless Wind Elements passing through them repeatedly.

As for the technique created from the Earth Laws, Zhao Nan named it Sowing Beans to Form Soldiers.

To put it plainly, it was a method of using Earth Elements to condense individual "tool men" to fight on his behalf.

As for the Pulse of the Earth law, Zhao Nan simply stole the names Linley used, calling them Single Wave and Hundredfold Wave.

As for the technique created after fusing the two mysteries, Zhao Nan named it Dragon Startles a Hundred Miles.

This move was inspired by the "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms" from his past life, where he transformed Earth Elements into the shape of a dragon and then infused the power of the Pulse of the Earth into the dragon's body.

With one strike, every inch of the dragon's body carried the force of a single wave, combined with the terrifying impact of the Earth Elements.

Zhao Nan composed his mind, then took Ace and stepped out of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, entering the Eighteen Duchies of the Northern Territory.

Although these Eighteen Duchies of the Northern Territory were not as completely devoid of order as the Chaotic Territory, they were not much better off.

After all, this was not a kingdom; there was no powerful ruler to unify this region, leading to years of constant warfare.

By this time, the five brothers of Amanda had grown into adults. Although they did not cultivate battle qi, the awakening of their Undying Warrior bloodline made their bodies extremely formidable, giving the five brothers a small reputation within the Eighteen Duchies of the Northern Territory.

Zhao Nan was in no rush to find them; he first took Ace to have a meal and rested properly for two days.

Zhao Nan himself did not need to rest, but Ace was only four years old, and with the New Year approaching, he would be five soon.

At such a young age, he needed to get some proper rest.

At the same time, Ace also needed to send a letter to his father.

After resting in a remote small city, Zhao Nan found someone affiliated with the Dawson Clan's merchant guild and handed Ace's letter to them, asking them to deliver it to Vincent.

This was something Vincent had entrusted to Zhao Nan.

Their Hyde family had a partnership with the Dawson Clan, and their relationship was quite good.

Perhaps because the Dawson Clan had already received news, they were very respectful toward Zhao Nan when he went to deliver the letter.

Zhao Nan didn't take it too seriously, instead asking them for information regarding the five brothers of Amanda.

As one of the most famous merchant guilds on the Yulan Continent, the Dawson Clan had very well-informed channels. After Zhao Nan mentioned the names of the five brothers, the other party provided their current location.

Zhao Nan thanked them and tossed them a golden leaf engraved with the character "Nan," telling them that he owed the Dawson Clan a small favor; if they ever needed him to do something, they should just bring this golden leaf to find him.

That golden leaf was something Zhao Nan had Ace craft.

As a descendant of the Violet Flame Warrior, even at four years old, he still possessed a talent for smithing.

Originally, Zhao Nan had intended to craft it himself; after all, Ace was only four, and Zhao Nan couldn't bring himself to exploit child labor.

But after Zhao Nan melted the gold coins and was about to start, Ace spoke up and said he wanted to try.

As an excellent teacher, how could Zhao Nan deny his disciple an opportunity to practice? Thus, the hundreds of gold coins Zhao Nan had produced all turned into golden leaves.

As for why Zhao Nan crafted these golden leaves, it was naturally because he was now a Saint-level powerhouse, yet his reputation had not spread at all.

Previously, when his strength was weak, he had to keep a low profile, but now that he was a Saint-level powerhouse, how could he recruit disciples without making a name for himself?

Zhao Nan didn't want to use his aura to suppress others every time he recruited a disciple.

Besides, having the strength but not showing off a little didn't fit the characteristics of a transmigrator!

Thus, the golden leaf was born.

After handing the golden leaf to the member of the Dawson Clan, Zhao Nan left with Ace and embarked on the road to find the five brothers of Amanda.

The five brothers were not yet very powerful and had not become targets for the Radiant Church; at this time, the five of them were working within the Muqiu Duchy, one of the Eighteen Duchies of the Northern Territory.

The eldest, Barker, was currently a small squad leader in charge of a full hundred men, and Ankh and the others were all under Barker's command.

Once they reached human settlements, Zhao Nan naturally wouldn't walk anymore; he spent money to hire a carriage and headed toward the Muqiu Duchy.

Even though the Eighteen Duchies of the Northern Territory were not large in area, it still took a full half-month of travel before Zhao Nan arrived at the Muqiu Duchy.

After entering the Muqiu Duchy, Zhao Nan asked around and found out where Barker was, arriving at the residence of the five brothers that very same day.

"May I ask, who are you, sir?"

Barker looked at Zhao Nan with a vigilant expression, asking him very respectfully.

Zhao Nan did not speak immediately, choosing instead to first examine the potential of the five brothers!

He subsequently discovered that the lowest rating for the five brothers within the system was A-rank, with the eldest, Barker, and the fifth, Gates, being even higher.

The eldest, Barker, reached S-rank, possessing the potential of a Demigod, while the fifth, Gates, actually possessed SS-rank, holding the potential of a God.

After taking on several disciples, Zhao Nan understood that the system's evaluation represented the strongest realm one could reach without external influence; if external forces intervened, that was not necessarily the case.

For example, Bebe from the original story, with some maneuvering by Beirut, could theoretically become a Highgod regardless of anyone else.

Therefore, the system was merely a simple assessment.

"My name is Zhao Nan, and I am a magus, a Saint-level magus!" Zhao Nan said, introducing himself after finishing his inspection of the five brothers' potential.
