Chapter 616: Witches and Nuns Are All the Same

"What did you do again?"

As soon as Feng Xue got through the call, he heard a helpless roar in his ears. He sighed, looked at the familiar face on the screen, and said helplessly:
"I didn't do anything. Since you told me last time, I haven't even been to any illegal areas. The overall planning of the sites was left to Lao Wang and the others. Now I am concentrating on honing my skills at home."

"Really nothing happened?" The voice on the other end of the phone was obviously a little surprised. Feng Xue just shook his head and said:
"No, if you don't believe me, you can ask other people."

"Have you dealt with the previous matter regarding the church?" The voice seemed to be racking its brains to find the reason, and suddenly asked after a long while.

"Yes, I rebuilt the churches that were originally demolished. To show my sincerity, I also built a few confessionals for them and hired clergy. Business is booming." Feng Xue answered seriously, but the person on the other end of the communicator was slightly stunned.

"Business? No, first of all, where did you hire the clergy before this? Are there any clergy in Shinra who would accept your employment? You didn't get cheated, did you?"

The man on the other side of the communicator seemed to have finally realized the crux of the problem and said so. However, Feng Xue shook his head:
"There's no church in Shinra, but there are some in other places. The priestesses I hired from the Nijizakura Shrine are definitely certified clergy. And when the Shinra people bought the evil-removing packages, they didn't seem to be dissatisfied. They all praised the churches here for keeping up with the times, and the confessionals were full every day..."

"No, wait a minute, you let the witch go to work in the church, and exorcise the evil spirits? And the confessional? Okay, I know what's going on..."

Looking at the toothache on the opposite side, Feng Xue showed an innocent and cute expression and said:
"Any questions?"

"Alas..." The man wanted to say something, but seemed to consider Feng Xue's background, so he finally sighed and didn't elaborate, just sighed:
"In short, Shinra has increased the number of personnel sent to East Langun, including four of the twelve saints and a full-strength corps of knights. In addition, Hongying and Xinghuan are also making moves. But this is normal. After all, seven of the sixteen special cities in Langun are under your control. It is normal for them to be anxious. Just be careful with them."

"Okay, I understand. It just so happens that I have almost reached a bottleneck recently and am preparing to break through." Feng Xue nodded, but the person facing her changed his expression when he heard this:

"How can you say something like that on a normal channel? Damn it, why didn't you tell me earlier that you were about to break through? Going back to China... No, no, that might interrupt you... Well, don't go out recently. I'll try to send you a group of security personnel. By the way, who knew about your breakthrough?"

"Lao Wang, Xiao Li, Hai Lin, Huo Le, Liu Xin..." Feng Xue called out a long list of names like a dish, and the person on the other side of the screen turned green.

"Anyone would know this, right? How come you don't have any sense of crisis at all? You didn't even hide your breakthrough at all?"

"I'm in seclusion! In seclusion! If I don't show up for a few months, it's easy for something to go wrong if I don't tell you, okay? Besides, our architects are not from the classical school, who have to do things like fasting, bathing, fasting and dieting. Even if I'm in seclusion, I can interrupt it at any time, and it won't affect my combat effectiveness..." "Why don't you understand the importance of it! Oh, forget it, just protect yourself! That person, no, everyone, stop everything you are doing, now issue the highest gag order, everyone is isolated, everything is open to the public..."

As the screen closed, Feng Xue vaguely heard the roar from the other side. He was also confused by the nervous attitude of this person:
"Isn't it just a retreat to integrate the structure? There's no need to be so nervous, right? Or is the body I traveled through actually the lost child of some important person? Um, like those old online novels where the important person is being hunted and has to hide his child first? So in fact, the people I hid from all those years were actually 'Welcome the Young Master Back'?"

Thinking of this, Feng Xue couldn't help but feel a toothache. He simply gave up and turned his attention back to his own structure.

With the memory and feeling of the transformed state, it is not difficult to integrate the structure. During the months-long retreat, he has sorted out all his abilities and reached the same state as after the transformation. The real difficulty lies in what kind of way to expand it so that he can go further.

As mentioned before, while the transformation gave him a powerful trump card, it also allowed him to see in advance the limits of his abilities, which in turn limited his possibility of further progress.

Therefore, he must find a "future" above this limit. Otherwise, even if he completes the integration, it will only make the transformed and non-transformed have the same strength.

Feng Xue thought for a long time, and the idea that emerged in his mind was to completely disrupt the mask transformation system and re-develop a new system, but this would undoubtedly go against his combat habits of more than ten years, and it would undoubtedly take a lot of time to get used to it.

"I see. Is that why that guy is so nervous? So every architect has to face this kind of integration problem? That's right. After all, architecture is all about thinking. When there are too many architectures, they must be integrated as much as possible to form a complete system. In this way, weakening of strength becomes inevitable?"

Feng Xue nodded thoughtfully, but he didn't care too much, because unlike other people who would change their route and affect their combat effectiveness, even if he changed his route, he could still switch back to his original combat style through the mask, and it would not affect the actual combat...

and many more!

Why can my mask still be switched back to the original style after I switch my combat style?
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to Feng Xue's mind. He took out the mask that had not been used for several months, opened the panel, and stared at the three skill trees that he was already accustomed to. It seemed as if an inspiration turned into a light that reached the sky and broke through the bottleneck!
"The transformation mask divides the skills into three skill trees: essence, energy, and spirit. I originally thought it was similar to the divisions of ice, fire, and arcane in online games, but now that I think about it, it's almost like saying that transformation is achieved by mixing and condensing essence, energy, and spirit! Yes, the sound effects every time you transform! Catching Kan and filling Li, watching the moon on the alchemy platform, turtles and snakes entwined, subduing dragons and subduing tigers... these are clearly terms from the alchemy of the previous life! Why didn't I notice it earlier?!"

Feng Xue looked at the answer that had been placed in front of him for a long time, and for a moment he felt that his past self was really a bit stupid, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized -

"Everyone in this world speaks in a stupid way, and I've become accustomed to treating this stuff as meaningless lines just to show off their status!"
