Chapter 345 - Powerful Talent Thousands of Changes
The synthesis of skills had given Jiang Hao a sweet taste of success.
He quickly turned his attention to the talent section of his interface, focusing on Invisibility and Transformation!
Recognizing a connection between the two, Jiang Hao decided to merge them and see what would happen.
“It's just skill points! I've got plenty to spare!”
“System, initiate the fusion of Innate Abilities: Invisibility and Transformation!”
“Confirmed!”
“Ding… 100 skill points consumed. Congratulations, the fusion of Innate Abilities is successful. You've acquired a new talent skill: Illusionary Transformation!”
Innate Ability: Myriad Changes Level 1 (0/10): Capable of altering one's form, transforming other objects, varying in size, and even achieving invisibility. With mastery, one can perform endless transformations!
As the Illusionary Transformation melded with him, Jiang Hao, with the system's boost, gained instant enlightenment.
This ability was akin to Sun Wukong's Seventy-Two Transformations, capable of endless variations.
However, Jiang Hao couldn't achieve such versatility just yet.
After all, this impressive talent was still only at level one!
Jiang Hao pushed down his surge of excitement; it was getting late.
He had to visit the Song estate that evening, and there were preparations to be made beforehand. He couldn't afford to linger any longer!
With that, Jiang Hao swiftly made his way home.
Shortly after, the unkempt middle-aged man in charge of the dump strutted back, radiating smug satisfaction.
But his triumph turned to confusion when he found the yard empty, save for some worthless scrap paper and empty bottles.
“Did I take a wrong turn?”
After scanning the area once more, something clicked in his memory.
He crumbled in despair.
“Good heavens! You little rascal, you didn't even spare the junk!”
He wailed to the sky in anguish.
“My trash has been stolen! I need to call the police!”
But as he rose to act, he froze.
He remembered the fifty thousand yuan Jiang Hao had paid him.
“No, I can't call the police!”
The man's face flickered between emotions, ultimately resigning himself to his misfortune.
Jiang Hao was blissfully unaware of these developments.
After arriving home, he freshened up, changed into fresh clothes, and ate dinner.
He then briefed his parents and set off for the Soong residence.
Soong Wanzhong had been eagerly awaiting his arrival.
Despite the presence of four martial cultivator bodyguards, Soong Wanzhong felt a distinct lack of confidence in dealing with the Nether King's Hall without Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao's presence brought him considerable relief.
“My dear nephew, I'm counting on you tonight,” Soong Wanzhong said earnestly.
”Uncle, you can rest easy. I've got the Nether King's Hall under control,” Jiang Hao assured him.
Soong Wanzhong couldn't help but smile wryly. “How could I possibly sleep at a time like this?”
”Yesterday, the elders of the Nether King's Hall might have been deterred by the sea's might, hence they held back. But since they've vowed to return tonight, they must believe they have a strategy to overcome it,” he mused.
Uncle Hai stepped in with words of reassurance. “Master, please be at ease!”
”Even ten of me wouldn't match Mr. Jiang's prowess, not to mention with the support of me and the other wise counselors and warriors!”
Soong Wanzhong felt somewhat comforted by Uncle Hai's words, but Jiang Hao had a different take.
”No, Uncle Hai, tonight, I'm all that's needed here,” he countered firmly.
“Your task is to leave a set of your clothes behind. Take the strategists and warriors to my place and keep watch. Should anything out of the ordinary occur, inform me immediately!”
”Our Old Master has gone back to the countryside. I'm prepared, of course, but it's always best to be cautious.”
