It's obviously a life skill, but you developed it into a magical skill

The annual exam is extremely important to the Chu Kingdom.

Here, one needs to go through a tedious process before taking the exam.

The first thing to do is to verify your identity and rule out the possibility of fraud.

And this step begins in the government office. In the government office, it is the first step to verify the identity.

After avoiding the possibility of fraud by others, take the candidates to another examination room.

Closed examinations will be held there for a total of three days.

In fact, for every candidate, taking the exam for three consecutive days without being allowed to see anyone outside is a lot of pressure, both physically and psychologically.

When Zhou An and Yu Hang came to the government office, they looked at the scholars and could already feel the tension on their faces.

You're not nervous at all. Zhou An asked with a smile.

Yu Hang shook his head: If it were before, I would have been very nervous, but now that I have put everything aside, I feel relaxed.

In fact, hard skills in exams are the first priority, followed by on-the-spot performance.

Zhou An suspected that given the current situation in Yuhang, there was no guarantee that he would be able to pass the exam.

Not long after, there was a sound of opening the door.

Sun Fuling walked out and began to preside over the entire process.

The entire process follows the established plan.

Zhou An didn't send him any more. He waited outside for a while, and after making sure that nothing happened in Yuhang, he left directly.

As for whether you can pass the exam, it all depends on your ability.

After leaving the government office and having nothing to do, Zhou An was ready to go back. Continue the liver fusion casting method for a while.

For him, the current progress is relatively fast, he just needs to follow the steps.

But before Zhou An could reach home, he was stopped by a man.

Mr. Zhou, Sir Si Fu invites you.

A member of the Suppression Division happened to bump into Zhou An, so he came to Zhou An and whispered.

At this time, Zhou An was already well known to everyone in the town.

After all, the members of the Suppressing Guisi were also present when they dealt with Mi Mo.

Especially when it comes to cleaning up the aftermath.

The members of the Zhenguisi looked at Mi Mo's death, and everyone was very heartbroken.

The young man in front of him who looked kind-hearted was actually a ruthless master secretly.

The current members are no longer as arrogant as they were when they first met, and everyone has lowered their attitude.

They knew very well that at Zhou An's age and with such strength, he was by no means a thing in the pool.

Even if you can't make friends, you definitely can't make enemies.

There has been an example in the past. A certain person in the world started to cause trouble and ridicule a small young man. As a result, within a few years, the young man overtook him.

Then the charlatan didn’t know where he was buried.

In short, no one looks down on Zhou An now.

Zhou An didn't know what business Zheng Sifu wanted to do with him. It had been a while since Mi Mo was killed. He felt that there must be some aftermath problems, otherwise there would be no need to look for him.

Let's go.

Since someone invited me, I have nothing to do now, so I went over to take a look.

The members of the Zhenguisi nodded in agreement and led the way.

Not long after walking, the two arrived at Zhenguisi.

Zhou An stepped in and looked around. The members around him all looked over.

But he quickly looked away, as if he didn't dare to look this way.

Zhou An didn't have time to pay attention to these people and went directly to the second floor.

As soon as I went up, I saw Zheng Sifu waiting there.

Master Zheng, call me over at this time. What can you do? Zhou An said hello.

Zheng Sifu said: Let's go into the room to talk.

Zhou An nodded.

The two came to the room.

As soon as he entered the house, Zheng Sifu closed the door behind his back.

After closing it, he pulled Zhou An to the table next to him and poured Zhou An a cup of tea.

I know you are usually very busy. If nothing happens, I won't ask you to come over. Specifically, it is about Mi Mo.

Zheng Sifu said.

Did something go wrong in the aftermath? Zhou An asked.

Zheng Sifu shook his head: There is nothing wrong with the aftermath, but we have to report it to the police now, so we need to compare confessions between the two of us.

After hearing this, Zhou An understood.

In fact, this matter started when they killed Mi Mo.

Mi Mo has a strong desire to survive, so she uses eight unique skills to survive.

But under the circumstances at that time, Zhou An really wanted to kill Mi Mo, even if Zheng Sifu wanted to stop him.

Zheng Sifu was also a temperamental person, so he blocked the door directly, which meant that Mi Mo would definitely die.

As a result, this matter must be reported now.

After all, it is a big deal. If the process is not followed, it will be difficult for Yunlai Mansion to deal with it.

When it comes to reporting it, they definitely don’t dare to tell the truth, otherwise the superiors will know that they don’t even want eight special skills, and then they won’t be able to live with it.

So at this time, the two of them must make a confession together.

You really can't hide your matter anymore. So many people are watching, so I also reported it. Someone from the Supervision Department will definitely be sent over by then. It is said that this person is still very close to us, so I stopped by to investigate.

Zheng Sifu explained.

Zhou An also understood this matter. After all, he really didn't hide it much in order to deal with Mi Mo's matter, so it was normal that he couldn't hide it.

If you can hide it like this, it would be too weird.

Master Zheng, how do you plan to come? Zhou An asked.

Zheng Sifu said: Actually, it's very simple. Let's just say that Mi Mo resisted to the death and refused to hand over the Eight Special Skills to her death, so we killed her. During the fight, the Eight Special Skills were destroyed. This matter That’s it, we just need to communicate some details.”

The Absolute Domain Casting was destroyed by Zhou An, and now it can be completely passed on to Mi Mo. After all, Mi Mo is already a dead man.

Let's discuss it. Zhou An said.

Next, the two began to discuss the details. After discussing for half an hour, Zhou An left Zhenguisi.

At this time, it was just noon. After eating some food outside, Zhou An originally planned to go back.

But on the road, I saw a fish seller next to me.

While he was watching the fish swimming in the water, something suddenly flashed through his mind and he thought of something.

In this battle, to be honest, it seems that our side has an overwhelming advantage. In fact, there are still some details that need to be considered.

What needs to be considered most is when you are by the river.

If they can't get the water out of the river themselves, they will have to get into the water themselves.

If there is any danger in the water, it will definitely be difficult to deal with.

So Zhou An discovered a weakness of his.

Now on land, he has no problem at all, but when it comes to water, problems arise.

Just like the corpse fishermen I met before, they were very capable in the water, but once on land, they turned into noobs.

You may not necessarily be a novice in the water based on your own level, but you will definitely be constrained and unable to exert your full potential.

Zhou An felt that he should develop an ability related to water.

Let's swim.

Here, he was not stuck, and he quickly thought of the corresponding skills.

There are very few things related to water except swimming.

You can't drink water, right?

Well...it's still early, let's go develop it.

After Zhou An figured it out, he didn't stay longer in Yunlai Mansion. He directly identified the direction, left Yunlai Mansion, and walked outside.

There are many rivers around Yunlai Mansion. Zhou An found the nearest one, which was not very far away.

…

Not long after, at the speed of Youlong Bu, Zhou An arrived at his destination.

This is a small village. The people in the village make a living by fishing. There are many fish in the river.

Zhou An walked down the other side of the river until he reached a deserted place, and then Zhou An stopped.

This is a deserted place. The river is clear and reflects a burst of light under the sun.

Since there was no one around, Zhou An didn't think much, just took off his coat and jumped into the river.

The river water at this time is slightly cold, but the temperature is still good and not too cold.

After jumping into the river, there was a splash. He tried to pedal and found that the river was quite deep.

Try something simple.

Zhou An waved his arms and swam for a while using the simplest dog paddle style.

He only knows this posture.

Not long after, Zhou An swam more than ten meters.

There is resistance in the water. While swimming, Zhou An even got up and took out a long knife from his pink purse and waved it.

He found that due to the resistance of the water, the speed of his sword swing was slightly slower. Don't underestimate this. In the process of fighting between masters, these are the chips for a comeback.

Keep swimming!

If proficiency is not triggered, it should be a posture problem.

Zhou An changed from dog pawing to freestyle.

Still no proficiency triggered.

He tried several different ones, but to no avail.

At this time, almost a stick of incense time had passed. Zhou An stopped, floating in the water and thinking.

I have changed positions several times, which proves that it is not a problem with posture, it must be something else.

Zhou An thought.

He can indeed swim, but he has not systematically studied these things. All he knows is self-taught.

It is indeed a bit difficult for him to find a way here now.

Just when he was thinking this, there was a sound of footsteps not far away.

He found that fishermen from the upper reaches had arrived here at some point and started bathing in the river.

The fishermen also discovered Zhou An, but they didn't take it seriously. After all, the appearance of a man bathing in the river was not a big deal.

thump!

As a fisherman jumped into the water, they began to swim in the water.

At this time, Zhou An cast his eyes over.

Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will arrive.

These people are quite professional, and you can learn from them yourself.

Zhou An observed carefully and quickly discovered what was wrong.

Just now he thought his posture was correct, but in fact there were many problems.

When waving your arms or treading water, these movements may appear to be in place, but in fact they are not in place in many places.

Zhou An didn't bother him, and just observed silently.

After a while, he began to practice swimming by himself, trying to swim like a fisherman.

The question was so big that I almost choked on my water.

If he hadn't been a person in the industry and this issue didn't have much impact on him, he would probably have choked and felt uncomfortable.

After learning for a while, I gradually became proficient.

Maintaining this posture, Zhou An swam over again.

This time, he tried his best to correct his movements, and soon, a burst of smoke appeared in front of him.

After the smoke emerged, it twisted for a while and finally turned into a line of text.

[Swimming lv.1: 1/10000]

It's finally here! Zhou An breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the proficiency is developed, it will be easier to handle later.

Zhou An is a Liver Emperor.

And there is a person living in the liver.

He was looking forward to seeing what changes would happen after this skill reached level three.

With his new skill, Zhou An naturally didn't let it go, so he swam happily in the water.

In fact, according to normal standards, if you soak it in water like this for a long time, problems will occur.

But who told him that he had Qi in his body?

No matter how hard he soaked, it would be no problem for Zhou An to spend a whole day here.

Time gradually passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was already night time.

Zhou An saw that the sun was about to set and did not intend to continue practicing like this.

The proficiency level has increased by nearly half, and the first-level proficiency level has increased very quickly, but Zhou An does not plan to come to the river again in the future.

With the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, it would be easy to dig a swimming pool in that house.

When the time comes, he will be able to fuse casting techniques and swim at the same time. It will be like killing two birds with one stone.

After coming out of the water, the energy in the body circulated, and the clothes were dried a lot.

Zhou An put on his coat and rushed towards Yunlai Mansion.

…

It didn't take long to get back to Yunlai Mansion from here.

When Zhou An returned to the house, he happened to meet Qi Shuo waiting anxiously outside the door.

What's wrong? Zhou An asked.

When Qi Shuo saw Zhou An, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: I thought Brother Zhou left without saying goodbye because our Hengtong Chamber of Commerce did not entertain him well.

He really had nothing to do, but when he came back today, he saw that Zhou An was not there, and he didn't come back so late, so he thought Zhou An had left.

They even thought that they did not entertain him well, which aroused Zhou An's dissatisfaction.

There is no way, now he is able to stand out from the crowd, all because of Zhou An's contribution, so Qi Shuo is extremely careful.

Zhou An smiled and said: Nothing, but I do have something and I want Brother Qi to help me.

Qi Shuo nodded and said: If you have anything, Brother Zhou, just say it. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it.

Zhou An explained his idea of ​​digging a swimming pool.

The yard at the back is so big that half of it can be dug out.

Qi Shuo was stunned, completely confused as to what Zhou An wanted to do.

But he also knew that there was no need to ask these things because he just had to do them.

Smart people never ask what they are doing. If they do, they will make the other person hate them.

Qi Shuo said that he would try his best to complete the project tomorrow.

It was okay now, so Zhou An returned to his room.

It was late at night, and he didn't plan to knock on the metal, so he went to bed early.

…

The next day.

Before he could get up, he heard a noise outside the door.

Zhou An got dressed and went out, and saw Qi Shuo already directing the workers and starting construction in the yard.

With more than a dozen workers working on it, it can be completed in half a day.

Brother Zhou, it's noisy during the construction, why don't you go out for a walk? Qi Shuo didn't see Zhou An coming out and said with a smile.

Zhou An nodded.

In this case, it is not convenient for liver proficiency.

There is no need to rush, finish the swimming pool first, and then you can work on both sides for better results.

After leaving the house, Zhou An stopped by a roadside stall to eat some noodles.

Those in Yuhang should have checked into the examination room yesterday, and the examination will begin today.

Three days is not a long time, but for the candidates, it is like a year.

Unable to visit, Zhou An had nothing to do, so he just wandered around in Yunlai's mansion.

I walked around until it was almost noon, and I was really hungry.

Eat something and go back to see if it's done. I'll be able to master the liver again in the afternoon.

Zhou An thought to himself.

This kind of life without proficiency is very boring.

If the Gan Emperor loses his proficiency, is he still called a liver?

Now that Qi Shuo had given him a lot of money, there was no need to treat him badly at noon.

Zhou An went to Menghua Building as usual, sat in the private room on the second floor, and ordered a table of dishes.

He didn't waste anything, he could finish what he ordered.

After finishing the table of dishes, Zhou Anxin was satisfied and planned to go out.

But at this moment, when he came down from the second floor, he saw that the first floor was already crowded with people.

Downstairs on the first floor, in the corner, there are so many people on three floors inside and three outside.

At this time, how could it cause so many abnormal reactions?

Zhou An is very strange.

But he didn't think too much about it, let alone look at it. He still had something to do, so he planned to go back directly.

But just as he was about to go back, the voices of people talking suddenly started.

What is this man's belly made of?

She's here. She's got more than ten dishes, right?

Not only that, you didn't see that this is already the second round, and the speed is too fast.

How come this little girl is so edible?

The voices of the conversation were filled with surprise and amazement.

Zhou An heard it clearly.

eat?

Little girl?

Especially edible?

Zhou An put three question marks in his mind.

He always felt that this situation seemed familiar.

It's like this has happened before.

It is precisely because of this that Zhou An deliberately stayed and stood outside looking in.

When he couldn't see it, he would even stand on the stool and look inside.

This glance didn't matter, he immediately saw what was going on inside.

An ordinary-looking girl in gray clothes was picking up the rice in the bowl, while picking up the food and putting it into her mouth.

From time to time, he would even yell.

Delicious! So delicious! This roast chicken is so delicious!

“This is delicious too!”

This one is even better, wow!

The girl in Cinderella never stopped talking, and the dishes on the table were decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When Zhou An saw this scene, he stared calmly at first, then rubbed his eyes vigorously, and quickly confirmed that he had seen it correctly.

Well, I opened it in the right way, that is to say, she did come.

The girl in gray was still eating, but she felt a gaze that made her very uncomfortable.

She subconsciously slowed down and looked in the direction of her gaze.

The next moment, the girl in gray was stunned on the spot, and the chopsticks in her hand fell on the table with a clatter.

In the other hand, there is half a roast chicken.

Zhou An winked, meaning to talk about it later.

The girl in gray understood this and continued to eat her rice with her head down, but this time she ate more gracefully.

Seeing that the eating speed had slowed down, the common people felt that there was nothing to see, and gradually left.

After the people left, the girl in gray was still eating.

Zhou An then walked over and sat across from him: Why are you here, Ye Shuang?

The girl in gray in front of her is Ye Shuang who has changed his form.

When she was in Anding County, Ye Shuang was in this state, going out to eat and drink.

Zhou An really didn't expect to meet Ye Shuang here, or in this scene.

Ye Shuang wiped her mouth, looked around, feeling a little guilty, and shrugged her head, looking timid.

I came here to do some business and grab a bite to eat.

Zhou An grinned and said, I think you came here to eat and do some business, right?

Ye Shuang felt even more guilty when she mentioned this, but she still said firmly.

no!

Zhou An said speechlessly: Swallow what's in your mouth first before talking, it will appear more sincere.

This girl has little experience in the world and is very greedy. In fact, it is not surprising to meet her here, but Zhou An is very curious about what official business it is.

Ye Shuang opened his eyes, looking fierce, and said: I am from the Supervision Department. I must have come here because of something important. Zhou An, I am here to investigate you this time.

Zhou An: ...

Good guy, as soon as this sentence came out, Zhou An understood it instantly.

I had a conversation with Mr. Zheng not long ago, and Mr. Zheng said that someone from the Supervision Department was nearby and stopped by to investigate the matter.

Isn't this the one in front of me?

She was let out by her teacher to roam around here and there, but she really couldn't figure out her route.

What about Mi Mo? Zhou An asked.

Ye Shuang nodded and said: Yes, you guys are making a big fuss about this. Eight unique skills, that thing is very precious.

Zhou An raised his eyebrows: Then what are the bosses going to do?

Ye Shuang stretched out her white left hand, clasped her fingers and said, It depends on the specific situation. If it was destroyed under really unavoidable circumstances, for the sake of other people, it would be fine, as long as it was not intentional.

Zhou An fell into deep thought.

When he and Zheng Sifu were communicating the details, they inspected the Supervision Department's magic.

Spells can verify the truth of what others say. In fact, destroying that huge iron sword was indeed a last resort. This incident can prove it.

And everything he said was true.

Just move the Supervision Department to another place and don't talk about Mi Mo's survival.

If you don't tell it, then naturally there will be no truth or lies.

Zhou An. Ye Shuang moved his stool forward and said seriously: You didn't do anything bad, right?

Zhou An shook his head and said, You still don't understand me. Will I do bad things?

That's impossible to say. Ye Shuang said, You were still planning to kill me at that time.

Zhou An's mouth twitched and said: How dare you, little girl, repay kindness with hatred? I took you to eat a lot of delicious food, can't you even fill your mouth with it?

This little girl's film was made even with this threat.

Ye Shuang opened her mouth wide, pointed at her mouth and said, My mouth is so big that it can't be filled.

Zhou An's head was covered with black lines, and she could no longer tell whether the little girl was driving or not.

But he finally understood the meaning.

Yunlai Mansion still has many special delicacies. I will take you to eat them when the time comes.

Ye Shuang immediately became energetic: It's a deal!

Zhou An nodded and said he would never break his promise.

Ye Shuang took a few more bites and ate all the food on the table.

Then let's go. It's better to hit the sun than to choose another day. Let's get there quickly.

Together?

Of course we are together. Anyway, we are on our way.

Ye Shuang stood up, took out her pink purse and paid.

Zhou An thought to himself that he was indeed on his way, so he left the restaurant with Ye Shuang without saying anything more.

After the two left, they walked towards Zhenguisi.

However, when approaching Zhenguisi, Ye Shuang took Zhou An into an alley and performed a gorgeous transformation, returning to his deserted appearance.

And he even blinked in front of Zhou An.

At this moment, Ye Shuang has long since returned to her peerless appearance, and the combination of desolateness and playfulness not only does not violate harmony, but also has a strong sense of impact.

Even Zhou An can't help but feel a sense of disparity.

Ye Shuang stuck out her tongue and covered her face with a veil, as if she was brewing her aloof temperament. After a while, she raised her white palms.

Let's go, Mr. Zhou.

Zhou An said helplessly: Your personality changes so quickly that I can't even react. Are you starting to perform now?

Ye Shuang nodded coldly.

Zhou An also had no ink marks and walked out of the alley with Ye Shuang.

After a while, they arrived at Zhenguisi.

Ye Shuang still had the same cold expression. He expressed his purpose of coming in the shortest words and was taken to the second floor by the members of the Suppression Division.

Zheng Sifu had already received the news and was ready at this moment, but when he saw Zhou An and Ye Shuang coming together, he was stunned.

Mr. Ye, what are you and Zhou An...

Who doesn’t know the name of the ninth disciple of the Imperial Master?

As the youngest apprentice, everyone knows her cold personality.

It's like an iceberg that keeps people away.

But what Zheng Sifu never expected was that Ye Shuang would come with Zhou An.

How did these two people meet?

Why do they meet together?

It’s really confusing!

Zhou An coughed to cover up his embarrassment: Didn't Zhang Si County tell Mr. Zheng these things?

Zheng Sifu shook his head and said he didn't say anything.

At that time, County Magistrate Chen's matter was probably treated as a secret memorial and submitted to the higher authorities.

Many details were left unspecified, after all, this matter involved some scandal.

Although they had talked with the people, the details were still not exposed, and the Zheng Si Mansion had no way of knowing.

Zhou An suddenly realized it and told the story again, but only roughly.

Zheng Sifu finally understood, and his expression when he looked at Zhou An changed.

This guy actually has people from the Supervision Department, and he is also the ninth disciple of the National Master. It seems that the two of them came here together. The relationship between the two is very good!

Of course, thinking so, Sifu Zheng did not hesitate and immediately asked to sit down and watch tea.

Let's get down to business.

Ye Shuang did not drink tea, but spoke frankly about the topic.

After all, this was also a big matter, involving the casting of the Absolute Realm, so Ye Shuang did not neglect it.

Soon, the questioning began.

One question and one answer.

Zhou An and Zheng Sifu guided the conversation and did not let the topic turn to Mi Mo's survival.

Not long after, the entire question and answer session was over.

Ye Shuang cast the spell and after confirming it was genuine, he recorded it in detail and said there was no problem.

The whole process is simple.

After all the procedures were completed, Sifu Zheng naturally wanted to do something like a landlord and treat Ye Shuang to a meal or something.

Ye Shuang refused directly, saying that she had somewhere to go.

Zhou An didn't stay, so he said goodbye and left, and Ye Shuang also went along the way.

In the end, only Sifu Zheng was left here. Sifu Zheng still felt a little confused and didn't understand why this matter passed so easily.

Is it possible that there is someone in the court who is easy to do things with?

He could only attribute the key to the problem here.

But the matter was over, so he didn't think much about it and continued to do his own thing.

After leaving Zhenguisi, Zhou An was taken to a small alley by Ye Shuang.

The two of them had gotten along for a while when they were in Anding County. Zhou An naturally understood Ye Shuang's temper and knew that there were still things to ask.

If you have anything, just ask directly. Zhou An said.

Ye Shuang did not change back to the girl in gray. She turned around and stared directly at Zhou An with eyes as beautiful as the stars and the moon.

Zhou An, I know you are guiding me. I want to ask if you...rejected Mi Mo's request for survival, which was conditional on the casting of the Absolute Realm.

Zhou An raised his eyebrows: How did you guess that?

Having already said this, Zhou An naturally did not hide anything.

There is no need to hide it.

Ye Shuang said silently: I know I don't have much experience, but I'm really not stupid.

If he was really a fool, he would not be accepted as a disciple by the Imperial Master.

Zhou An sighed: What are you going to do?

The killing was very good, but no one can know about this matter. Ye Shuang lowered his head and said.

You don't plan to... Zhou An was interrupted before he could finish his words.

Extremity Casting can appear, but it must be in the hands of stable people, and not appear at this time.

Ye Shuang raised her head and said firmly: Teacher said that the world has been in chaos for a long time before it is as stable as it is now. It cannot be chaotic anymore.

And I trust you that you won't do bad things. Although you are sometimes ruthless, you have never taken action against ordinary people, and you even got along with them.

I trust you.

Zhou An was silent for a moment, then raised his hand and patted Ye Shuang's shoulder: Don't worry, I didn't hide anything about what I just said.

Ye Shuang hummed.

Suddenly, she stretched out her hand and patted the clothes on her body, and soon she looked like Cinderella again.

Let's go.

Zhou An asked doubtfully: Where to go?

Go to where you live. I'm going to stay here for two or three days. Why don't you take me out to eat. Ye Shuang said matter-of-factly.

Zhou An: ...

Good guy, it turned out to be waiting for him here.

Seeing Ye Shuang jumping out of the alley, Zhou An had no choice but to follow behind under the moonlight.

A protagonist who does not know how to conduct sea, land and air operations is not a good protagonist.
