After adjusting his mindset, Qi Fei began examining the three Innate Secret Techniques he had just received.
The Innate Secret Techniques evolved from Mental Talent had not changed much in essence, but their effects had improved dramatically.
Previously, Shen San Qi Fei's God Boundary Breaker realm could only be shared with one person. But Swallowing Qi Fei felt he could now share the same realm with at least four or five people.
The sharing had also become more thorough. Even the concept of Qi Fei himself could be shared.
At the same time, the range of the talent had increased.
Previously, Sharing required the target to be a living being. Now, after being enhanced, it could affect inanimate objects too.
Qi Fei shared his own concept with the chair in front of him.
No matter how he looked at it, it was still an ordinary chair, yet somehow it felt like another version of himself.
"This thing's potential is a little terrifying. No wonder it's an ability derived from a cheat."
With a thought, Qi Fei deactivated the Innate Secret Technique.
The chair Qi Fei turned back into an utterly ordinary chair.
If he could share the contents of the Chaos Stele with himself, wouldn't that be like comprehending it around the clock?
Other people spent thirty years in Chaos City, and their time comprehending the Chaos Stele was counted in days.
But his would be counted in years.
If he still couldn't make any progress after that, he might as well go back to Earth and grow sweet potatoes.
The Innate Secret Technique evolved from Spirit Reader was also impressive.
After hitting a target, this technique subjected them to four checks: Law comprehension, willpower, genetic level, and energy.
The standards were Law comprehension equal to Qi Fei's, ten times his willpower, a hundred times his genetic level, and a thousand times his energy.
If they failed even one check, that attribute would be weakened according to the corresponding standard.
For example, if they failed the willpower check, they could only use one-tenth of their original willpower.
Their genetic level would be reduced to one-hundredth, and their energy to one-thousandth. Their Law comprehension would not be weakened.
If they failed two checks, both attributes would be weakened, and the remaining attributes would be reduced to half of what they would have been if they had failed only one check.
Even their Law comprehension, which normally would not be weakened, would only retain half its power.
If they failed three checks, there would be no weakening. Instead, the previous weakening would be replaced with instant death, ignoring both defense and level differences.
It was a fairly powerful Innate Secret Technique.
He wondered whether clones would count toward the standard.
If they did, making a couple of powerful clones would basically be the same as having an instant-kill cheat.
Qi Fei named the Innate Secret Technique Expert Appraisal Technique.
Anyone who could withstand it was definitely far stronger than he was. If he ran into someone like that, he shouldn't even think about fighting—he should run for it.
The Innate Secret Technique evolved from the Planetary Level Warrior's special ability was much weaker.
It was a combined attack technique using Fire and Wood Laws.
Fire was probably the attribute in which Qi Fei's other selves had the greatest talent.
After it was shared, it manifested during his breakthrough alongside his original Wood attribute, forming a special power with two attributes.
The Universe then elevated this ability into an Innate Secret Technique.
Qi Fei named the technique Fire in Wood.
Aside from its respectable power, its only other use was that analyzing it could help him comprehend the Fire and Wood Laws.
"It'd be great if this were a Fusion Law. Maybe the path to becoming a True God would be right under my feet."
Qi Fei couldn't help feeling greedy as he lamented inwardly.
Of course, it was only wishful thinking.
Compared with the other techniques, Fire in Wood was just a bonus. Being able to help him comprehend the Laws was already pretty good.
At that moment, the pain of the thirty-three clones being weakened had faded... All right, it still hurt a lot. Just not quite as much.
"Forget it. No point dwelling on this. What I should do now is share this joy and pain with everyone else."
Making the other Qi Feis feel heartache along with him was the right thing to do.
A hint of an evil smile appeared at the corner of Qi Fei's mouth, and he entered the space once more.
By then, the other Qi Feis had all arrived.
This time, Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei had come as a whole person, while the other three were unchanged.
Witch Qi Fei, however, seemed to have arrived as an entirely different person.
A pair of sharp horns had grown from her head. Her hair had changed from green to a bluish green, and the closer it got to the roots, the darker it became, until it was almost deep blue.
Her features had also become more refined and defined. Compared to before, it was as if she'd turned on a beauty filter.
She had also grown from 180 centimeters to 196. Dragon wings and a dragon tail had appeared behind her, giving her an unusual beauty.
If he had to describe it, her overall look had gone from simple line art to a riot of color.
"Whoa, what did you do?"
Swallowing Qi Fei immediately felt that his Innate Secret Techniques weren't so impressive anymore.
They had cheats. Strength only mattered for a while, but looking good mattered for a lifetime.
"I evolved my bloodline a little along the way. So, what do you think? Pretty, right?"
Witch Qi Fei spun around proudly.
"You do look good, but that move of yours is way too bro-like. It instantly kills the mood."
Swallowing Qi Fei blurted out his honest reaction.
It was fine when she wasn't speaking. But as soon as she did, that familiar feeling washed over him, and the beauty created by her appearance vanished in an instant.
"Hmph. I know you're actually jealous of my new skin, so I'll forgive your impudence."
Witch Qi Fei replied casually.
"...How were your gains?"
Though he really was jealous that she'd gone out and returned with a new skin, Swallowing Qi Fei had no intention of admitting it.
"It's a little complicated to explain. You can see for yourself through them."
Witch Qi Fei patted Shen San Qi Fei, who was closest to her.
"Works for me."
Swallowing Qi Fei reached out and touched Shen San Qi Fei.
In an instant, the memories of the Qi Feis flooded into his mind.
With the help of Magic Potions and special powers, Witch Qi Fei had elevated her Naga and Sea Siren bloodlines and become a Dragon Witch with a Legendary bloodline.
Aside from improved attributes, physical changes, and the ability to transform into a Legendary Dragon, Qi Fei had gained several bloodline specialties:
[Lord of Destruction and Storms] The power of spells associated with Destruction, Water, Ice, and Storm concepts was greatly increased. During battle, all attributes doubled. If there was a nearby body of water, storm, or destructive disaster, her attributes increased further. [Storm Call] During battle, the surrounding environment would give rise to disasters such as torrential rain, hail, and storms. If she was at sea, it could even cause a tsunami. The rate at which disasters formed increased with the amount of ambient Magic power. [Calamity Dragon King] King of Dragon Species. Non-Legendary dragons, Dragonborn, and Dragon Witches could not disobey any of her commands. Legendary creatures would also obey her to some extent, depending on their alignment. Lawful Good creatures would listen to reasonable suggestions, while Chaotic Evil creatures would be completely unable to resist her control. The duration of control depended on the willpower of both sides. [Sound of Summoning Destruction] Her singing would irreversibly shift the alignment of anyone who heard it toward Chaotic Evil. At the same time, listeners would gradually become practitioners of the Path of Destruction. ... From Swallowing Qi Fei's perspective, the first three specialties were all decent abilities, aside from the last one. The last one was actually pretty powerful too, but unfortunately, it had no effect on Witches. The Witches of the World of All-People Witches were genuine Chaotic Evil creatures—the kind that had even made Abyssal demons afraid of them. Only when dealing with their fellow Witches did they rein in their malice and become not-so-well-behaved good girls. (The Witches in the East were also pretty nice to ordinary people who weren't Witches, thanks to their upbringing. Of course, that was only if the other person was a human native to Earth.) Qi Fei figured the fourth specialty probably only made Witches more excitable at parties. Compared to the third specialty, which was practically tailor-made for killing other Witches, it was in a completely different league. Used against a Dragon Witch, even a moment of control would be enough to turn the tide in an arena duel. The first two specialties complemented each other, which went without saying. Aside from the bloodline, a new authority had also emerged within Witch Qi Fei: Lord of Destruction. It was probably the power of the Supreme God of Destruction, strengthened by the Witch World. The effect was that all conflict, destruction, and slaughter... would become Qi Fei's power. In practice, it was an enhanced version of absorbing the Power of Destruction. It had gone from a little water pump to a river feeding an irrigation system. Even though it hadn't fully formed after being shared, Swallowing Qi Fei could already feel his Spiritual Force improving faster. At least until he entered the Virtual Universe Company, this ability would be useful to all the Qi Feis. Besides that, Witch Qi Fei had acquired several other new specialties. He set aside specialties covered by Innate Secret Techniques, such as Mental Talent and Life Bead, for the time being. Resilient Soul had appeared as her soul grew rapidly. It increased her soul's strength and the rate at which her soul power grew. Psionic Radiance had formed from her excess Spiritual Force. It helped resist mental spells. Companion Enhancement had formed from the spirit of her God Boundary Breaker weapon. It could strengthen her followers and magical pets. Chaos Magic had emerged from the fusion of the Power of Destruction and other powers. It could strengthen her Magic. "Those are some pretty good gains." Swallowing Qi Fei spoke up. By then, Witch Qi Fei had also absorbed Swallowing Qi Fei's powers through the other Qi Feis. Both Swallowing Qi Fei's own powers and the four secret techniques formed under the influence of the Universe's Laws could be summed up in one word: amazing. "Thanks to your physical strength and planetary structure, I gained three more specialties." Witch Qi Fei shared the three specialties with the others.
[Perfect Body (Strength)]
Her body would always remain in peak condition, unaffected by negative effects such as illness, injury, and curses.
Magic resistance increased.
[Beauty of Strength]
Any species could glimpse the unparalleled beauty of strength in her body.
[Simulated Star]
She could imitate a world with her own power and thereby obtain the world's radiance.
```
"Your efficiency at rolling new traits is impressive."
Swallowing Qi Fei couldn't help commenting as he felt the three enhancements they had shared with him.
She'd only just absorbed his powers, and she'd already gained three specialties. If there were more people in the future, they'd probably run out of room to list all her specialties.
"Witches are naturally very adaptable, and then there's the help of Mother World. Isn't this perfectly normal?"
Witch Qi Fei waved a hand.
Witches were a species that could grow gills underwater on the spot, as long as they wanted to.
Wasn't it only natural that they could gain specialties easily?
"Fair point."
Swallowing Qi Fei nodded.
"By the way, does this Legendary Dragon bloodline let me transform into a dragon too?"
He asked with some curiosity.
He had just caught a glimpse in her memories of what Witch Qi Fei looked like after transforming into a dragon.
Those crown-like horns, wings that blotted out the sky, and scales glinting with cold light... She looked unbelievably cool.
"You can probably only transform into a dragon in worlds where that's allowed."
Shen San Qi Fei, who had just returned, shattered Swallowing Qi Fei's fantasy.
"I just went out and made a breakthrough in Essence and Qi Boundary Breaker. The specialties Witch Qi Fei shared are still there, but the bloodline itself has completely fused into my body."
It was precisely because the bloodline had fused with his body that he could fully understand its power and reach that conclusion.
"In worlds where people can't turn into dragons, it should just be a special bloodline that provides the corresponding boosts. At most, it'll let people turn into little dragon people."
In other words, Dou Po Qi Fei might be the only one who could use pills to experience fully transforming into a giant dragon.
In other worlds, all they'd get was a horn or two. Shen San Qi Fei himself couldn't even grow horns, because his Essence Boundary Breaker body had devoured them all.
Of course, it was also thanks to this bloodline acting as material that Qi Fei had enough strength to make a Qi Boundary Breaker breakthrough alongside his Essence Boundary Breaker breakthrough.
Now his body was constantly absorbing Internal Qi while rapidly generating Boundary Breaker-level Internal Qi, allowing him to maintain the power of the Triple Boundary Breaker.
"Come to think of it, Coiling Dragon Qi Fei could try being a knockoff Dragonblood Warrior."
But he would have to wait until he accepted the shared power.
The Rules of Fate seemed to tell Coiling Dragon Qi Fei that he wasn't far from becoming a Low-God of Fate.
So Coiling Dragon Qi Fei had decided to become a god first and wait until his original self had been enhanced to the Saint Realm limit before accepting power from the other Qi Feis.
"..."
Swallowing Qi Fei was deeply disappointed.
He had wanted to turn into a dragon and go show off for a while.
"You're still breaking through at a shocking pace."
Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei grumbled.
"It's all thanks to those two. It has little to do with me."
Shen San Qi Fei said.
Qi Boundary Breaker was entirely thanks to the energy those two had absorbed through their own growth after returning.
And Essence Boundary Breaker was even more dependent on their help.
Witch Qi Fei didn't say anything. She simply went over and touched Shen San Qi Fei.
"Yay, my Perfect Body has leveled up again."
She'd known that having a body at the Essence Boundary Breaker level would take her specialty to new heights.
After all, Dian Wei had once used his body to withstand Space Severing after reaching Essence Boundary Breaker.
After she went over and touched him, the other Qi Feis also took turns drawing power from Shen San Qi Fei.
The Qi Feis' already terrifying physical abilities improved a little more, giving them the means to throw their weight around among those at the same level.
Swallowing Qi Fei was the exception. The stats in their world were already absurdly high.
