Chapter 528 - 339 Suspecting Gu Sheng (4K)
```
Under the silent gaze of the cauldron-faced Guard, Mu Yuan gradually figured out the reason.
"It seems that Inference Skills do have a cost for the Temple of Knowledge itself, don't they?"
"And the cost of Inference by Dead Bone might be a bit higher than for others?"
His generals were not short of Epic Skills or advanced abilities, to the point where Mu Yuan had somewhat neglected just how formidable the obstacles were when normally trying to deduce and awaken an advanced skill.
Wisdom! Bloodline! Fate! All are indispensable.
Even for Dead Bone, without great fate, it wouldn't be possible to deduce an Epic Skill. Even if this skill barely touched the threshold of Epic and its mysterious and marvelous functions were far inferior to a true Epic.
But after all, it was still Epic.
The Inference Skill project was Dead Bone's great opportunity. Under normal circumstances, this project would at best be a minor opportunity, with the vast majority of strong beings only able to deduce a common skill here to pass acceptably.
Only a minority of exceptionally talented individuals could deduce advanced skills. For them, this project represents a true opportunity.
What about Dead Bone?
In order to obtain a satisfactory Extreme Training Method, it forcibly deduced dozens, if not hundreds of skills in a short time and used them to construct a practice method that touched upon the Epic.
With such a great harvest, the cost of this creation process was naturally enormous.
However, Dead Bone had only paid a small portion of that cost—it burned the Light of Will, allowing its will to sublimate momentarily, entering a 'semi-extreme sublimation state'. This caused some damage to its source.
The majority of the cost was paid by the Temple of Knowledge.
Looking at the depleted 'Spiritual Light', the Guardian Gabu Fool's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He didn't even have time to be shocked at what the young Undead had done, only grieved over his own Spiritual Light running dry.
He was dumbfounded, he was heartbroken, he really felt like hitting someone!
But Gabu Fool was a bit puzzled.
This young Undead had deducted hundreds of skills, including quite a few advanced ones. This feat was nothing short of cheating. However, the Temple of Knowledge was a Miracle Building formed by the rules of heaven and earth, a construction more mysterious, grand, and unbreakable than any ordinary building out there.
The Temple of Knowledge was not so fragile.
To drain the temple, normally one would have to deduce a several times larger number of advanced skills.
Gabu Fool could not understand.
After all, he was not the rules, nor had he reached the realm where he could understand and see through the rules.
He just vaguely felt that the Spiritual Light drawn by this young Undead when deducing skills seemed likely far greater than that of others.
So what exactly did this young Undead do!
Dead Bone claimed innocence.
It had always deduced skills this way for so many years.
It just felt that the state just now was very familiar, like returning home, bathing in the Evolutionary Radiance. But when it borrowed the afterglow of the Evolutionary Miracle to deduce skills, the Mysterious State would visibly fade away. Many times, after it finished evolving, it would have to spend an extra half day to finish deducing the skills.
Just now, though, the Mysterious Spiritual Light was like an endless river, brimming no matter how much Spiritual Light it drew. It was the first time it had experienced such joy.
Unfortunately, in the end, the Mysterious Spiritual Light still faded away.
Just a little more, and it would have failed to deduce the skill.
It had committed the sin of lacking steadiness again.
Dead Bone silently recited from "Steady Spirit".
Aside, Guardian Gabu Fool stared at Dead Bone as if looking at an NTR enemy, but after all, he was the Guardian of a rule-constructed building, what could he do? Of course, follow the procedure and give the highest appraisal to this challenger.
What can he say? Or is it truly that this challenge has broken, otherwise he has no right to refuse later challengers.
'Hint: Your hero "Dead Bone" has obtained the cultivation skill "Death Breathing Method".'
Dead Bone was highly rated, but among the cultivation skills that the Temple of Knowledge could confer, there were only so many.
Death Breathing Method was also just an advanced skill, albeit a little more profound and mysterious among them.
Dead Bone merely tried it out and found at least three points that could be improved. However, without the benefit of enlightenment or Mysterious Spiritual Light, it couldn't immediately proceed to deduce and improve this cultivation skill.
Dead Bone felt a bit regretful.
Suddenly it thought of something else, wait, "There is no more Inference Skills project?!"
Gabu Fool let out a somewhat displeased snort, "Due to special circumstances, this project has been cancelled, and the test for the later comers will be altered to other projects."
Ah, wait, this...!
Won't their Human Lord be unable to deduce skills anymore?
Dead Bone also faintly sensed that the closing of the project seemed to have a tiny bit of relation with itself... It felt ashamed and embarrassed.
But not shame toward the Temple of Knowledge.
What did it care if this Miracle Building was ruined?
But if it was to break, shouldn't it at least wait until the Lord and all the companions from their territory had used this opportunity before breaking?
The Temple of Knowledge, this construction, was not up to par.
In the distance, Taeli and the other Elves looked at each other, truly not understanding what had transpired, only vaguely sensing that something significant had occurred.
This inconspicuous Undead strong being seemed to have deduced quite an impressive skill, leaving that Guardian at a loss for words.
However, what was the special reason that caused the project to close?
Is the Human Lord from Tianyuan Territory unable to perform skill deduction now?
