Chapter 24 - Returning to the Alternate World

“Alright, alright, stop pretending.” After reading the latest chapter, Catherine swiped her claws down a few times to confirm that there was no follow-up. Then, she reluctantly closed the phone screen and looked up at Yan Chong, “I looked around just now and realized that I took a Meditation Card from

the library in the academy. There are no legacy restrictions. It suits you.” Then, she waved her paws and a card appeared in front of her. It floated quietly in the air.

The back of the palm-sized card was purple in color and there were fine lines on it. It looked like an integrated circuit of a computer board. On the front side, there was a very exquisite and beautiful geometric pattern carved with colorful paint. This pattern was flat, but when one looked at it carefully, it

looked like a three-dimensional figure.

But no matter which angle one looked at it, it was full of symmetry and a sense of beauty that conformed to some mysterious law.

He closed his eyes subconsciously and recalled the picture on the front of the card. However, Yan Chong felt that something was missing. He could not put his finger on it.

Activate [Reading]:

Name: Dotolov Meditation Technique (Skill Legacy Card).

Quality: Epic +3 / Usage: 6 out of 9 (Can recharge, Regeneration Number).

Function: After using it, one can master the [Dotolov] Meditation Method (Extraordinary Technique).

Description: Star College Card Creator. Recommended retail price: 199,998 gold coins.

Unlike the Skill Card that Kane had used previously, Skill Cards were usually one-time-use cards. They would disappear after being used. Special Skill Cards could be used multiple times and could even be recharged to recover. But in the end, these were external objects. The user of the card did not master

this skill.

However, the Skill Legacy Card was different. It was not used to cast skills. Instead, it was a card that allowed a person to learn a certain skill. Although it was not powerful at the start, it could grow.

Compared to Skill Cards, Profession cards were more powerful. One could temporarily obtain a profession and freely use a series of general skills that had unique characteristics of the profession.

On the other hand, the Profession Legacy Card could be used permanently. Its value was comparable to any Epic-ranked item.

Yan Chong nodded excitedly and asked, “How should I use it?”

Catherine said, “The card’s usage method is one-time use. You just need to crush it. For those that are used multiple times, you need to communicate with your spiritual force. You will know when you learn the meditation technique.”

She did not do anything. The card turned into a purple glow and flew into Yan Chong’s eyebrows. In an instant, Yan Chong suddenly realized that there was a bright light in his mind. The geometric pattern on the card appeared.

A large amount of information flooded into his mind. The difference between this and the Inheritance Knowledge was that Yan Chong felt as if his brain was filled with a few buckets of water. Then, he used a stick to stir it a few times, and it swelled uncomfortably.

After a few seconds, a purple glow flew out and turned into the card again. It floated in the air. However, when he read its attributes again, the number of times it was used became 5 out of 9.

In Yan Chong’s mind, a colorful 3D image stood quietly. As long as he closed his eyes, he could see it.

The meditation method was also grasped by instinct. There were also some methods to use mental energy and extract mana between heaven and earth. However, what surprised Yan Chong was that as he meditated, the elements in the world would be converted into mana and stored in his spiritual sea.

This process was completely automatic.

However, his spiritual force seemed to have increased slightly, but there was no mana at all. In other words, Yan Chong was still an empty mana mage.

“Catherine, why can’t this meditation technique extract mana?” Yan Chong asked in confusion.

“Sigh…” Catherine let out a long sigh and said,” According to my observation, your world may be the rumored forbidden land of magic. Of course, there won’t be any mana. That’s why it’s actually useless to get the meditation technique in such a hurry. It’s a pity that I, a Legendary rank Arcanist, have come

to such a barren place. I have such amazing talent but it’s useless.”

Yan Chong could not help asking, “Then, why is there no mana in our world? What are the conditions?”

“It’s said that the Forbidden Devil’s Land is cursed by the Gods and the World’s Consciousness. I’m not sure about the specific conditions. I’ve only seen it in myths before, but this is my first time.” Catherine rolled her eyes and suddenly said excitedly, “If I can figure out the origin of the Forbidden Devil’s

Land, it will be a great achievement that will be engraved in the history of Arcana!”

Yan Chong could not help but think. Mana should be a mysterious energy refined from heaven and earth. It was not a material particle.

“No wonder Li Mubai’s Life Spiritual Plant Technique couldn’t be activated. It seems that he absorbed and refined something called spiritual energy from heaven and earth to nurture his Life Spiritual Plant. It should be a mysterious energy of a different quality from mana.”

Late at night.

Yan Chong looked at the countdown timer for the cooldown time of the Transcendent Space Traverse skill. He changed into the clothes and shoes he had found at Richard’s house and sat by the bed.

As the countdown reached zero, Yan Chong disappeared from the bedroom.

His eyes closed and opened, and then another scene unfolded.

If he did not remember wrongly, the place where Yan Chong had left the Endless Mainland was a guest room of an inn.

A familiar feeling came from the bottom of his feet. Yan Chong was still sitting upright, but what was under his butt was not the bed but air. However, this was not a problem for him. In fact, it was just a horse stance. He only needed to exert a little force to maintain his balance before his body stabilized.

The layout of the house did not change much. Although he had only stayed in the room for less than a second, it had only been a day since he returned to Earth. He had some impression of it. However, the heavy breathing in the room attracted Yan Chong’s attention.

It was currently afternoon, and the sunlight was not glaring. A huge figure was lying on the bed. He had a broad chest, and his chest muscles were so strong that they were about to burst. His ferocious face made Yan Chong frown. He had never seen such a person before.

His skin was dark yellow, and he was about 2.5 meters tall. Even the big bed in the hotel couldn’t fit him, and his feet were almost 50 centimeters long. There were several scars on his face, and his jawbone was protruding. If his canine teeth were longer, he would be comparable to a ferocious ghost.

The masters of creation seemed to have imprinted barbarism into his soul. This was a fierce man who could scare a three-year-old child into crying without even glaring.

“This kind of person could tear apart wild beasts and eat raw meat and blood.”

Yan Chong activated [Reading] out of habit.
