Chapter 1235 Thirteen Secret Techniques
How many secret arts have you learned?
Upon hearing the Scorpio director's question, Leon opened the panel, looked at the badges related to arcane arts, and then answered:

"That's about seven doors now."

"?!!" x N
Seven gates already?
Upon hearing this astonishing number, the faces of the directors present immediately showed surprise.

Lyon's exceptional talent in secret arts and the fact that he had learned more than one secret art were not secrets among the board members, but the fact that Lyon had quietly mastered more than half of the secret arts still greatly surprised everyone.

"Leon!"

Seeing that Lyon's expression was quite serious and he didn't seem to be joking, Director Taurus couldn't help but ask further:

"Which of the twelve constellation secret arts have you mastered? When did you learn them?"

"Not only the twelve constellations, but also the secrets of the Ophiuchus constellation."

After reminding the Taurus directors not to forget the "unofficial" Ophiuchus directors, Lyon frowned and recalled:
"The first skill was [Abnormal Creation], which I obtained from the previous Aquarius. Then came [Abnormal Forging], which you taught me. Later, during the selection of the five houses, I learned [Abnormal Enhancement] for Sagittarius, [Abnormal Observation] for Pisces, and [Abnormal Devouring] for Cancer."

That made five secret techniques. Later, after Lord Capricorn returned from Heavenly Mountain for a meeting, he taught me [Anomalous Purification]. Then, when I went to the Kingdom of Sikaleven, I learned [Anomalous Creation] from Director Ophiuchus, making it seven techniques in total.

Creation, forging, strengthening, observation, devouring, purification, transformation... Hiss... As Lyon listed each secret technique, the gasps around him grew louder.

Although everyone already knew you were awesome, we never imagined you could be this awesome.

The Cleanup Bureau's biggest trump card is naturally all sorts of anomalies. However, when facing a true god who wields power, the effectiveness of most anomalies is greatly reduced. They can only be properly "enhanced" by a Cleanup Bureau member with a Leon value of over 60.

When facing the Pillar God who holds the truth, even if the directors with a Lyon value of 70 points intervene to enhance it, the effectiveness of the anomalies will be greatly reduced. Only the secret techniques held by the 12th to 13th directors can push various anomalies to a level that is sufficient to contend with the Pillar God.

In terms of destructive power and combat skills alone, the twelve directors may not be much superior to the Zodiac chiefs, with the red-haired chief possessing destructive capabilities surpassing most directors. However, at the level of the Pillar Gods, only the Thirteen Secret Techniques and the anomalous objects they enhance can inflict relatively effective damage.
It is precisely because they possess the means to kill the Pillar God that the board members are considered the highest combat force of the Cleanup Bureau. Each of these secret arts, which represent the highest level of human skill, requires almost a lifetime of study and also needs the blessing of the corresponding star palace. The difficulty of "crossing over" is terrifyingly high.

Therefore, let alone truly mastering multiple secret arts, it is rare to find a cleaner who can "enter" multiple secret arts at the same time. Before today, there were only reliable records of people practicing five arts simultaneously, and even then, their mastery was not very high.

However, judging from Director Lyon's words, he not only raised the record to the seventh level, but it wasn't just a simple entry into the field; it had truly reached a level where it could function effectively. This...this...

"Why didn't you tell me about this sooner, Director!"

Truly stunned by Lyon's answer, Scorpio Director gasped deeply and exclaimed excitedly:

"Seven secret techniques! These are seven secret techniques! Oh dear!!!"

If you, Chief, could continue learning, and even master all thirteen secret techniques, then even if the four supreme gods encountered you together, they would be utterly powerless. You could kill them however you pleased, and they would die if they dared to show their faces! That's truly..." "Isn't it the same now?"

"???"

"Have you forgotten? I control the root of the problem."

He raised his hand, summoning a wisp of primal essence, and after placing it on his palm and making a downward slapping motion, Leon asked with a puzzled expression:
"Theoretically speaking, the truth of the Pillar Gods can be considered as a fragment peeled off from the root, so it can be forcibly erased by consuming the root. As long as the rate of replenishment of the root can keep up with the rate of consumption, even if the Supreme Four Pillar Gods become the Supreme One Hundred Pillar Gods, wouldn't it still be that as many as come, they will all die?"

"..."

But that's different! Those are the Thirteen Secret Techniques! Well... okay, it seems like there's not much difference...

Looking at the colorful light flowing in Leon's hand and feeling the immense aura that transcended truth, the excited Scorpio director couldn't help but click his tongue. He felt that even if the director could really learn all the secret techniques, it didn't seem to actually improve his combat power.
"Besides not being very useful, the secret technique I learned is also a bit special..."

After mentally reviewing his experiences learning the Twelve Secret Arts, Leon couldn't help but cough, then glanced at the strange-looking Taurus director, and somewhat awkwardly explained to the others who were unaware of the situation:

"Aside from the Ophiuchus constellation's anomalous transformation secret technique, all the secret techniques I've learned... well... their effects are all slightly different from the originals."

"..."

Just a tiny bit... Are you sure it's just a tiny bit?
Upon hearing Lyon's rather "conservative" description, and recalling his so-called forging secrets of turning a pile of high-grade materials into waste, the Taurus director's lips twitched involuntarily. He then turned his head away with a rather tense expression, meeting the gaze of the Capricorn director, who also looked tense.

Director Lyon's talent for secret arts is truly remarkable. He mastered the Capricorn purification technique in no time. Unfortunately, his definition of purification is different from most people's. He almost completely purified (corrupted) Paradise Mountain, and there are still a lot of purple-skinned angels who haven't recovered yet...

wrong! ! !

Thinking of those purple-skinned angels who were shouting "God above!" and insisting on holding an illegal gathering on Paradise Mountain, as well as the pure angels who had just arrived at Paradise Mountain a few days ago and were unaware of the terrifying nature of these purple-skinned angels, Director Capricorn couldn't help but gasp and then instantly turned into light and disappeared.

"I have something urgent to attend to, I have to go!"

"?"

What's going on? Why did Capricorn run off without saying a word today?
Seeing the Capricorn director rush out of the meeting as if his house had exploded, the Scorpio director blinked in confusion. Then, under the pitying gaze of the Taurus director who knew the inside story, he took the initiative to extend a learning invitation to Leon.

"I happen to have some free time right now... Chief, would you like to learn the secret techniques of the Scorpio Palace now?"
