Within the Sutra Repository, a significant number of skills had already been drawn, with shelves filled to the brim with various skill books.
These skills spanned a multitude of categories, encompassing professions of all sorts. However, they did not contain all the professional skills available on the Canglan Continent.
There were only slightly over a thousand skills here. The Canglan Continent boasted far more than a thousand professions. Acquiring all the skill books for every profession would still require a considerable amount of time.
Zhou Yan decided to start learning from the very first shelf, proceeding one by one. The sheer number of skills was overwhelming; it took him an hour or two to finish learning them all.
Following this, Zhou Yan ascended to the fourth floor of the Sutra Repository to begin drawing for talents.
He reached into the mirror and retrieved a spherical object. Upon opening it, he saw:
B·Strength Enhancement
It had been a long time since he had drawn a decent talent. Talent draws were entirely different from skill draws.
Talents were exceedingly precious, and once acquired, only one person could use them.
D·Physique Enhancement
C·Farming
A·Mining
S·Danger Sense
Suddenly, Zhou Yan drew a rather good talent: Danger Sense, an S-grade ability.
This talent was excellent, enhancing his perception of danger and significantly boosting his survivability. He immediately used it.
A new talent ability was added to Zhou Yan's talent list.
The Sutra Repository was currently level 50 and only had four floors open. The first floor was for skill draws, the second for cultivation technique draws, the third for movement technique draws, and the fourth for talent draws.
The current level was too low, resulting in a meager chance of drawing high-level talents. He glanced at the requirements for upgrading, which were Awakening Stones.
This material was difficult to find. While low-level ones could be seen for sale, not a single high-level Awakening Stone was available.
The materials required for top-tier buildings were mostly rare and difficult to collect.
After leaving the Sutra Repository, Zhou Yan proceeded to the Lingxiao Palace to enter seclusion.
He sat in meditation, entering the scroll within his mind, and began merging all these skills.
The variety of skills meant that the process was time-consuming. As the skills merged, the power of those he had already fused further amplified. A single skill now contained multiple attack maneuvers.
The quality of "Tai Chi Lightning Roar Palm" quickly upgraded from RR to RRR.
The quality of "Overlord Illusory Wind Spear" also improved to RR.
These were not the most significant advancements. The key was "Ice Seal Flame Burst," which had absorbed hundreds of magic skills, including those from mages, warlocks, shadow magic, and incantations, all remote-cast skills. Its quality directly advanced to RRR, possessing a vast array of offensive methods.
The original name no longer seemed fitting, so Zhou Yan renamed it "Omni-Magic."
Although the name sounded rather crude, this skill encompassed over a dozen elements and could be combined to form numerous offensive techniques, or used as individual skills.
After all, these skills had been meticulously deconstructed within his mind, from the most basic individual elements into usable attack skills, and then enhanced by incorporating other elements to create more potent techniques.
Within his mind, these skills were like cells, undergoing the process of developing into a complete human being. Thus, he understood precisely how to utilize them.
This skill had merged hundreds of skills together, incorporating not only the five elements but also wind, lightning, light, dark, time, and space elements.
Therefore, "Omni-Magic" was the most fitting name. Moreover, this skill was peculiar; when combined, they could form countless immensely powerful techniques.
Simply put, if he combined wind and fire elements, he could create over a dozen attack skills, each of which was extremely potent.
He could freely combine over a dozen elements, with each combination yielding a different form of attack.
And this was merely one aspect of "Omni-Magic."
This skill could integrate elemental skills from various professions, whether it be from mages, warlocks, shadow disciplines, or other elemental skills, thereby making the skill even more powerful.
This skill was likely his greatest achievement from this batch of skill fusion.
Following this, Zhou Yan learned a new sword technique, also possessing immense power, which he specifically named "Heaven Severing Swordplay."
This skill was only R-grade and currently consisted of a single move. However, by merging it with other skills, he could add more swordplay maneuvers, which was quite promising.
Besides swordplay, there was also a fist technique, boasting immense destructive power and filled with supreme profoundness. Its quality reached R-grade, but the skill's growth potential remained strong. Zhou Yan named it "Primordial Divine Fist."
There was also a leg technique, swift as wind and lightning, capable of shattering mountains and splitting the earth. Zhou Yan named it "Wind Thunder Legs," though its quality was only SS. He had too few leg techniques, but with more acquisition in the future, he could improve the skill's quality.
These were all offensive skills; he also possessed defensive skills.
Despite having powerful skills like "Heaven and Earth Rotation," Zhou Yan still fused another remarkable defensive skill, akin to an Iron Shirt, capable of protecting his entire body.
This skill was quite impressive, capable of defending against not only physical and magical attacks but also sonic and soul attacks. Its growth potential was strong, with a quality of only SSS. Zhou Yan named it "Yin Yang Shield."
It was a pity that he had not drawn any soul attack skills in the Sutra Repository. Such skills were extremely precious and rare. Starting tomorrow, he planned to allocate half of his fifty draw opportunities to skill draws.
Zhou Yan reviewed his list of learned skills:
[《RRR·Lingbo Weibu》, 《RRR·Tai Chi Seven Star Sword Control》, 《RRR·Tai Chi Lightning Roar Palm》, 《RRR·Omni-Magic》, 《RR·Wind Thunder Wings》, 《RR·Heaven and Earth Rotation》, 《RR·Overlord Illusory Wind Spear》, 《R·Primordial Divine Fist》, 《R·Heaven Severing Swordplay》, 《SSS·Yin Yang Shield》, 《SS·Wind Thunder Legs》, 《S·Gathering Skill》.]
He currently possessed a total of twelve skills, but his offensive capabilities far exceeded twelve. This was because these skills had integrated over a thousand other skills, and the method of using each skill was imprinted in his mind.
He could completely leverage his mastery of these skills to employ different techniques against varying enemies.
This was the core and most crucial factor in this skill fusion.
