Chapter 57: The Impatient Hai Lan

For more than two months, Yi Chen stayed in his wooden house, comprehending the power of the laws.

Moreover, there were no signs of an end in sight.

This seemed to confirm the deductions made by experts and scholars.

Yi Chen was close to reaching his limit in creating skills.

Based on his previous processes in creating the Chaos Technique and the Flying Blade Technique, he was still in the first stage of skill creation.

Once he finished his comprehension, it would take an equal amount of time to develop a set of energy circulation pathways.

Even if he were to complete his comprehension now, it would still require over two months to create a new skill.

In total, that would mean nearly five months.

Just this alone matched the timeline predicted by the experts and scholars.

Not to mention that Yi Chen was still in the midst of his comprehension with no signs of stopping.

No one knew that the skill Yi Chen was now creating was completely different from his past skills.

In truth, he was not just creating one skill; he was combining several, even dozens of skills.

To create a fire-based skill, Yi Chen only needed to understand the power of the fire laws.

To create a lightning-based skill, he just needed to grasp the power of the lightning laws.

Creating a collection of various spell skills meant he needed to comprehend different types of law powers first.

This naturally slowed him down.

If it weren’t for the fact that the territory controlled by the Yanhuang Tribe was nearly one million square kilometers, and his talent had nearly doubled the highest standard of humanity, the time needed would be even longer.

With just the strongest talent of humanity, it might indeed take several years to create this set of skills, as many had speculated.

Currently, with Yi Chen’s nearly doubled talent, he wouldn’t need such a long time.

Furthermore, as his influence expanded, his talent could continuously improve, meaning the time required wouldn’t increase exponentially.

At the same time, just as the public had speculated, despite Guli and others breaking through to the first level of Spirit Law over the past two months, their realms were stagnant.

Yi Chen still had not taught the Complete Version of the Heaven-Slashing Technique or the Spirit Law level version of the Chaos Technique.

Many people had guessed the reasons for this.

One reason was for his own safety.

Yi Chen was currently busy comprehending the laws of the world and had no time for training.

His realm remained stagnant at the first level of Spirit Law.

Naturally, he wouldn’t teach the Spirit Law level version of the Chaos Technique or the Complete Version of the Heaven-Slashing Technique, allowing Guli and other talents to surpass him and increase the risk to himself.

Moreover, the high-end combat power of the Flame Mountain Tribe was already nearly unbeatable in the Flame Mountain range, so there was no need to further increase their strength.

Different, but no one knows that Yi Chen’s ambition and goals reach far beyond the mere Flame Mountain range.

With the population of the Flame Mountain Tribe, even when adding the populations of nearby tribes, the Flame Mountain range alone could sustain life for decades or even hundreds of years without feeling crowded.

But what Yi Chen wanted was not just enough space for humanity to thrive.

He desired endless vast territories, even the boundless starry sky.

At the very least, he wanted to conquer the entire planet first.

As for such a massive area, the lack of manpower for humanity to control it could be addressed later.

At worst, after unifying the entire planet, if his strength and realm had not reached the level of crossing the stars, he would wait for ten to eighteen thousand years.

He could improve his strength while waiting for humanity to grow and flourish.

After all, the earlier he gained a vast influence, the higher his talent would be.

That’s why not teaching the Spirit Law level version of the Chaos Technique and the Complete Version of the Heaven-Slashing Technique was only temporary.

Once the new skills were created, he could comfortably train and raise his realm, and that would be when he started to teach the skills.

…

In midsummer, the sun shone brightly, and cicadas chirped among the birds.

The valley was full of life.

Children played tirelessly under the scorching sun, everywhere to be seen.

In the southeast of the tribe, there stood a special wooden house.

It was special because the other wooden houses were all the same.

Even the high priest’s house and those of the four main leaders were just slightly larger than the homes of ordinary tribe members.

The wooden house in the southeast, although similar in size and shape to the ordinary tribe members’ houses, had its roof and walls painted with a layer of milky sap, adorned with various bird and beast patterns.

There was also a small flower garden at the entrance.

Inside, bright flowers bloomed, with butterflies fluttering among them.

This wooden house stood out more than the high priest’s house and the houses of the four main leaders, more like a crane standing among chickens.

Entering the wooden house, the interior was also unlike any other.

There were no messy tools lying around, no piles of furs and beast meat stacked high, and no strange, pungent smells.

The space was small but clean and refreshing.

In the corners, there were even a few iron flower pots filled with fragrant flowers.

On a wooden bed carved with exquisite patterns, Hai Lan was not in the mood to train.

She stood up, feeling impatient.

This task was much more difficult than she had expected.

"No wonder they offered me an outrageous sum of 10 billion; none of these top tycoons are fools!"

She even regretted not resisting the temptation to take this seemingly simple task.

But regret was clearly too late.

Even if given another chance, she doubted she would still choose to take this task.

There was nothing she could do; the 10 billion reward was too tempting.

She was a top commercial spy.

Since her debut, she had never failed.

No matter what kind of commercial secrets her clients wanted, as long as the price was high enough, she always managed to complete the mission.

This task, compared to those she had taken before, was hardly worth mentioning.

In summary, it was close to getting a genius to fall in love with her so that he would fulfill her every request.

And this genius came from a primitive era.

He had no experience with various schemes and tricks and very little knowledge about them.

In fact, he was a pure, inexperienced young man with no romantic history.

So simple that Hai Lan felt this employer was simply a big fool offering her a huge reward.

In the world of commercial espionage, she was known as the chameleon goddess.

She could be soft or proud, sweet or cool.

Approaching those heartless, ruthless business moguls who were well-versed in beautiful women might require her to gather information, cater to their preferences, and exhaust her brain with intricate traps to set them up.

But getting close to this inexperienced and naive young man from the primitive era was unbelievably easy.

And yet?

Upon arriving, she discovered that this inexperienced pure young man had an unexpected level of focus that was terrifying.

He was completely immune to her temptations.

Even more frustrating for her was that her target turned out to be a hard-working perfectionist to the point of despair.

For over two months, he hadn’t stepped outside even once.

She had wasted all her efforts meticulously arranging the wooden house.
