Dream Realm Talent Function, Preparing for the Next Dream Realm

Seeing this, Lin Hanzhou's breathing grew somewhat rapid.

Talent!

This was a good thing indeed.

In the high-martial world of Blue Star, talent almost determined the ceiling of a person's entire life.

He himself had suffered deeply from his Grade D talent.

And now, this system was telling him that every time he transmigrated, he had a chance to obtain a brand-new talent?!

Others could have at most one talent in their lifetime, while he could theoretically possess countless.

Even if he only drew the most trashy green-tier talent, it was better than nothing—essentially a free gain.

But once he drew a powerful blue-tier, or perhaps even purple or gold-tier talents in the future, he would simply take off instantly.

"Hahaha..."

Lin Hanzhou finally could not suppress the excitement in his heart and began to laugh in a low voice.

Cultivation base, points, the shop... these were certainly important, but this "Dream Talent" function was the true core of this system!

This was his greatest reliance for breaking the shackles of his own fate and walking toward the peak of the heavens and myriad worlds!

He could not help but begin to look forward, with incomparable anticipation, to his next dream transmigration.

Lin Hanzhou took a deep breath, forcibly calming his surging emotions, and withdrew his consciousness from the system space.

He glanced at the digital alarm clock on his nightstand; the azure liquid crystal screen clearly displayed a string of numbers:

[07:30]

Seven-thirty in the morning.

Lin Hanzhou's pupils constricted slightly.

He remembered clearly that he had performed the dream transmigration around midnight last night.

And now, it was only the next morning.

"My entire life of one hundred and fifty-one years in the Great Sui world..."

"Here, only a single night has passed?"

This discovery was even more shocking to him than his breakthrough to the Second Order Qi Gathering Realm.

Was this the great power of the system?

To be able to distort the flow of time between different worlds to such an unimaginable degree.

He slowly stood up, walked to the window, and pulled back the curtains.

Blinding sunlight poured in instantly, causing him to instinctively squint his eyes.

Outside the window was the familiar scene of a modernized city.

Towering skyscrapers reached into the clouds, their outer walls made of mirror-smooth alloy, reflecting the sun's rays.

In mid-air, sci-fi-styled hovercars shuttled in an orderly fashion along planned magnetic tracks.

Further away, at the edge of the city's protective shield, soldiers on guard duty were vaguely visible.

All of this formed an incredibly sharp contrast with the backward Great Sui dynasty in his memories.

A strong sense of dissociation welled up in his heart once again.

After thinking it over, Lin Hanzhou simply stopped dwelling on it.

He knew he had to prepare for the next dream transmigration as soon as possible.

The Luo Heaven Art he was currently cultivating was only enough to reach the peak of the Second Order Qi Gathering Realm.

Since his realm had already stepped into the Second Order, he would definitely need to purchase subsequent cultivation techniques.

Furthermore, he needed a secret technique to enhance his combat power, which would allow him to slaughter his way through the dream world.

Thinking this, he changed into clean casual clothes and headed out with the Federation credits he had saved up over the years.

Walking on the bustling, tech-filled streets, Lin Hanzhou could not help but sigh with emotion once again.

Who would have thought that just over a dozen hours ago, he was an ancient emperor who required a royal carriage and procession to travel?

This feeling of temporal disorientation was truly too marvelous.

His destination was clear—the largest martial artist trading center in Lin'an City, the Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce.

The Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce was a large-scale commercial organization that ranked among the best in the entire Great Xia Federation.

Its branches were spread across all major cities, and its business scope covered all fields related to martial arts, including cultivation techniques, medicinal pills, and rare treasures.

Half an hour later, Lin Hanzhou arrived at the entrance of the Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce.

It was a vast, circular building constructed entirely of an unknown white jade, appearing both classical and imposing.

As he walked into the lobby of the chamber of commerce, a smiling sales guide immediately approached him.

"Good morning, sir. How may I help you today?"

The lobby of the Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce was bustling with activity, crowded and lively.

Various goods were suspended within individual transparent energy shields.

There were swords shimmering with brilliant light, medicine bottles overflowing with fragrance, and ores emitting faint fluctuations of spiritual energy...

If this were the Lin Hanzhou of the past, he would surely have been stirred with excitement by the dazzling array of treasures before him.

But now, his heart remained completely calm.

After all, everything here could be found in the system shop within his mind, and the quality was only higher, never lower.

However, system points were far too precious and had to be used where they mattered most.

Problems that could be solved with money should be solved with money whenever possible.

"I need the follow-up techniques for the Luo Heaven Art from the third to the fifth stage, as well as a secret art to enhance combat power."

Lin Hanzhou was clear in his objective and spoke directly to the sales assistant.

Upon hearing this, a flash of surprise crossed the assistant's eyes.

Lin Hanzhou looked very young, yet he was asking for third to fifth-stage techniques, which was somewhat advanced for his age.

As for secret arts to enhance combat power, those were trump cards used for life-or-death situations and were quite expensive.

Could this youth, who looked only eighteen, really have such financial resources and boldness?

However, her professional standards were high, so she did not ask questions and simply led Lin Hanzhou to the second-floor technique section with a smile.

"Sir, the full set of paper copies for the Luo Heaven Art follow-up techniques you requested costs 800,000 Federation Credits."

"As for the secret arts to enhance combat power, we have many varieties. The ones with relatively minor side effects are..."

"I'll take this one."

Lin Hanzhou did not hesitate, pointing to the Three Reverse Pulse Styles of the Profound-grade low tier placed at the very edge.

The reason he chose this secret art was because of its low price and high cost-effectiveness.

Although the cost of using this secret art was immense, he only needed to use it within the dream world.

The dream world only inherited cultivation levels, not negative status effects.

Having selected the two techniques, Lin Hanzhou paid with his card in a clean and efficient manner.

He picked up the two beautifully packaged boxes and turned to leave.

In a VIP room on the second floor, shielded by a one-way light curtain, a pair of beautiful eyes were watching Lin Hanzhou's departing back.

The young girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a long white dress, with stunning features and a cold, aloof temperament.

She held a cup of clear tea and spoke indifferently.

"Investigate the background of that youth who just left."

"Miss, is there something amiss?"

An old man beside her asked respectfully.

"Eighteen years old, a cultivation level of the second-stage Qi Gathering Realm, yet wearing the most common street-stall clothes."

"Don't you find that interesting?"

The young girl, who was none other than Zhang Yiran, the eldest daughter of the Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce, curled her lips into a playful arc.

"Eighteen years old and at the second stage?!"

"This... this is enough to be called a prodigy!"

"Since when did such a figure appear in Lin'an City?"

The old man was greatly shocked upon hearing this.

"That is exactly why I am curious."

Zhang Yiran rested her chin on her hand, her gaze toward Lin Hanzhou filled with a hint of intrigue.

"Yes, Miss."
