I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 90: Advanced Water Mastery

The wine of Wanhua Building is very mellow, and the girls of Wanhua Building are very beautiful.

For example, Miss Xiao Qian, who leaned against Zhang Yuan, was just like her name—charming and clever, as delightful as a flower and very understanding.

With her attentive and considerate service, Zhang Yuan drank three whole pots of Hundred Flowers Brew.

With a slight intoxication, he talked quite a lot with this girl.

He learned that she reluctantly fell into prostitution, as her father was addicted to gambling, her mother was blind, and she had two young siblings, relying on her to support the entire family, which forced her to sell herself to Wanhua Building.

After hearing this, Zhang Yuan sighed with a wry smile, expressing deep sympathy.

Then he settled the bill with Chen Zhize and left.

Completely ignoring the wistful glance from Miss Xiao Qian.

This was Zhang Yuan’s first time visiting such a pleasure house in his life, truly experiencing the service standards of this brothel, and he felt that dozens of taels of silver were well spent.

The reason neither of them stayed overnight at Wanhua Building.

Chen Zhize had a virtuous wife at home and a deep marital bond, so even if he socialized outside often, it was just playacting.

Zhang Yuan, on the one hand, didn’t want to lose his virginity to a concubine, and, on the other hand, maintaining his Primordial Yang Body would be beneficial for future breakthroughs into the Qi Entry Realm, so he restrained his instinctive impulses with great perseverance.

There’s plenty of time in the future.

In the ensuing days, Zhang Yuan no longer went to Feiyan Lake for fishing.

As the youngest Incense Master of the Battle Hall in the Linhai Sub-Branch, after being publicly acknowledged in the Inner Hall, he quickly became a well-known rising star within the Furious Whale Gang.

Zhang Yuan’s reputation as a genius even quickly spread to the county town.

Known by people from the government office, the Four Great Families, and the Fierce Tiger Gang!

Five days later, on the dirt road by the riverbank, a yellow steed galloped forward, its hooves kicking up clouds of dust.

Zhang Yuan held the reins, riding swiftly.

The cold wind brushed against his face, feeling particularly pleasant.

According to the rules of the Furious Whale Gang, an Incense Master of this level is entitled to have his own personal mount.

Therefore, Zhang Yuan was also allocated a fine horse.

Like the yellow steed beneath him, although not a purebred famous horse.

Its appearance was quite good, with a market price of at least a hundred taels of silver.

Although the mount assigned to Zhang Yuan cannot be sold, its daily feeding and care were handled by dedicated staff, sparing him from spending his own money, which can be considered a benefit from the gang.

For this reason, Zhang Yuan specially learned riding skills.

Today, he went out for a ride.

Noticing the yellow steed was sweating quite a bit, Zhang Yuan gently patted the horse’s neck.

This mount obediently stopped in its tracks, shaking its head and sneezing loudly.

Zhang Yuan smiled slightly and dismounted, leading it to a patch of grass nearby.

Then he opened the saddlebag, grabbing a handful of beans, feeding them to the steed.

The yellow steed munched happily.

Its intimacy with Zhang Yuan increased by one point.

After feeding the yellow steed, Zhang Yuan tied the reins to a nearby tree trunk.

He looked around.

Here, far from Linhe County Town and Whale Castle, surrounded entirely by lush wilderness, there was no sight of any people.

Zhang Yuan took off his outer garment, revealing a suit of black Fish Skin Water Armor.

The next moment, he leaped into the rushing Celestial Horse River.

Ssshh~

The yellow steed, witnessing the scene, reared up immediately, letting out an anxious whinny.

But due to the reins’ constraint, it could only remain stuck in place helplessly.

Unbeknownst to it, Zhang Yuan, who leapt into the river, was like a fish returning to the sea, indescribably free and at ease!

A few days ago, the fourth Host, the White Dragon Loach, completed an upgrade, with Intermediate Water Mastery becoming Advanced Water Mastery!

And today was Zhang Yuan’s first time activating and testing it. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

At the moment of entering the water, he enhanced himself with Advanced Water Mastery.

Once he sank below, Zhang Yuan’s sensation was vastly different from before.

The water domain around him became clear and transparent in his perception; every aquatic creature within a hundred-step range, whether fish, shrimp, crabs or turtles, or aquatic plants and reefs, could not escape his insight.

He moved with greater freedom in the water.

Because he could understand the characteristics of the currents, Zhang Yuan could even use the undercurrents to allow himself to glide and swim like a true fish, moving faster than ever before.

When Zhang Yuan dove deeper beneath the surface.

Although sunlight couldn’t penetrate, everything was pitch black, his underwater perception was not severely affected.

Moreover, the water pressure was greatly reduced.

Due to the limited depth of the Celestial Horse River, Zhang Yuan could not continue to dive deeper to test his limits.

But he felt there would be no problem diving dozens more yards deeper!

Advanced Water Mastery could be said to make every body of water entirely Zhang Yuan’s arena.

It was as if he owned a trump card!

Previously, facing Zhang Xiong, Zhang Yuan easily eliminated this Tier Three Transformation Realm expert by using the abilities of the White Dragon Loach.

Now he was even stronger!

Of course, this trump card’s limitations were significant.

After all, humans live on land, and rivers and lakes aren’t always readily available, with few opportunities to utilize it.

But as part of the Furious Whale Gang, this powerful ability suited Zhang Yuan well.

He swam in the water for nearly half an hour, not surfacing for air once, until his Qi Blood value dropped to half, before returning to the riverbank.

Ssshh~

Seeing Zhang Yuan return safely, the yellow steed immediately came over, nudging its big head hard into his chest.

"Sorry to keep you waiting!"

Zhang Yuan laughed, patting its head, then took a towel to dry his body and put on his clothes.

Returning the same way to Wu Manor.

He brought the yellow steed back to the stable.

Just as he arrived home, Xiang Xiu ran over and said: "Young master, just now Master Zhao sent someone over, saying there’s an important matter for you. You must go to the Battle Hall at once."

"Got it."

Zhang Yuan felt a stir in his heart, immediately hastening to Whale Castle.

When he arrived at the hall of the Battle Hall, there were already more than a dozen people inside.

Besides Vice Hall Masters Zhao Jinlan and Gao Sheng, there were several elders and many incense masters.

"Master Zhao, Master Gao."

Zhang Yuan hurriedly saluted: "I was away on business, and I apologize for my late arrival."

"It’s okay."

Zhao Jinlan waved him off, saying: "You’re not really late; just listen in on the side."

Gao Sheng gave Zhang Yuan a cursory glance and said nothing more.

The other elders and incense masters looked at Zhang Yuan with rather complex expressions.

Some curious, some disdainful, some indifferent, and some amazed.

Zhang Yuan was indeed very young!

Facing the various gazes, Zhang Yuan quietly seated himself in a corner position.

Listening to the speeches of the two vice hall masters.
