Chapter 118: Obtaining the Special Title “Flawless”

Seeing Qian Shu begin to grow anxious, Zhang Wuyong and Zhu Xiaoying finally believed that the friend he spoke of was truly not himself.

Zhu Xiaoying was even more curious. "Then why did she apologize to you?"

Qian Shu moved forward slowly, speaking with indifference, "At the time, that friend of mine was considered one of my closest brothers. He and another boy were both pursuing Yao Xueqin, but she was merely stringing them along. Later, the two boys got into a fight over her. My friend had a personal embarrassment that the other boy turned into a laughingstock, making him the butt of the whole class's jokes. That incident was something only I and Yao Xueqin knew about. It was something he had revealed himself while pursuing her. When he went to ask Yao Xueqin about it, she refused to admit she had told the other boy. My friend turned his anger on me, and Yao Xueqin just stood by, silent."

Zhu Xiaoying asked, "And then?"

Qian Shu shoved his hands into his pockets and gave a faint smile. "I didn't bother explaining myself further. I was young then, and I just felt that a brother I had been so close with would choose to believe that kind of girl rather than me. After that, we effectively went our separate ways. It’s just funny to look back on now... all for the sake of a girl like that."

Zhang Wuyong and Zhu Xiaoying said nothing. There was truly no way to offer comfort for a situation like that.

"But I really didn't expect that after more than two years, on the very last day of graduation, she would come to apologize to me!" Qian Shu looked at Zhang Wuyong. "Perhaps it's because I'm your friend. Or perhaps she truly had a change of heart, but it doesn't matter." He smiled with a sense of release. "After all, so much time has passed."

Zhang Wuyong also smiled, his expression bright and sunny. "True, let the past be the past. By the way, are you free tomorrow at noon? Better to keep the whole afternoon open—my treat!"

Zhu Xiaoying chuckled. "Treating us? You're a real pal!"

Zhang Wuyong replied, "I'm treating the whole class!"

...

The fact that Zhang Wuyong was treating the entire class left everyone stunned once again. Nobody had realized he was such a wealthy "second-generation rich kid." Fortunately, Zhang Wuyong clarified that he wasn't a rich kid; it was simply Boss Huo from the Honglian Nightclub who was hosting them. They would have a banquet at the restaurant next to Honglian, then head straight to karaoke after eating. Only then did the classmates understand, and they all cupped their hands in a salute to him: "Pardon my ignorance, great master of the underworld!"

In the end, Zhang Wuyong successfully received his high school diploma from the head teacher. The school did not expel him or refuse his diploma on the grounds that he might be a "disciple of the demonic path."

[Ding! The host has successfully completed the mysterious title mission "Flawless."]

[The host has obtained the special title "Flawless."]

["Flawless": When the host uses this title, they can successfully imitate the temperament and image of others through visual observation, thereby disguising themselves as them. The duration of the disguise depends on the degree of imitation. Cannot imitate the opposite sex or other species!]

[Temperament and action imitation: Unlimited duration! Character sect and trait imitation: One day! Completely replacing another person's image: Two hours!]

[When "Flawless" is in effect, those without the ability to project divine sense cannot see through it. For those with divine sense who are more than one cultivation level below the host, it cannot be seen through. If those of the same rank scan the host with divine sense, the host's disguise duration will be significantly reduced.]

[If the cultivation level is higher than the host's and they possess divine sense, the host cannot use "Flawless" to disguise themselves under their scan.]

Actually, once he saw that "those without the ability to project divine sense cannot see through it," he didn't really need to read the rest. In short, this title allowed him to rapidly mimic the temperament and techniques of others. And since the mimicry had no time limit, it was essentially his own. He could use it to imitate the techniques of famous magicians and learn them instantly. It was the equivalent of a "Sharingan."

As for "character sect and trait imitation," he was a bit unsure. It probably meant he could directly masquerade as a high-ranking Taoist, a Buddhist monk, or a great demon lord, and not be exposed for an entire day? Then there was the ability to directly disguise himself as another person. For two hours, he would absolutely not be seen through. After all, in the other world, only those who had reached the Nascent Soul stage could project their divine sense. In this world, there was no one capable of "projecting divine sense." Moreover, since this was bestowed by the system, it should be a rule-based ability. Surveillance equipment and cameras probably couldn't see through it either; that was his personal assessment. But he felt he still needed to verify it.

Regardless, this "Flawless" seemed much more useful than "Blood-Hand Slayer." Of course, that was mainly because the doubled killing intent and intimidation factor weren't of much use to him as he was about to become a college student. If he were actually in the other world, it might be a different story.

Zhang Wuyong opened his character status bar and took a look; both titles were currently tucked away in the corner. When needed, he could just hang them next to his name. However, he tried it and found he could only equip one at a time. When he equipped "Blood-Hand Slayer," "Flawless" would replace it. Well, that wasn't actually that important.

In any case, although he didn't know exactly where he would use "Flawless" for now, he felt it was a very useful tool—much more useful than that "half-step Emperor weapon." He regretted that he had shouted "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west, do not bully a young man into poverty" in public for that half-step Emperor weapon.

Additionally, he noted that "Flawless" could not be used to imitate the opposite sex or other species. The opposite sex part was self-explanatory. "Other species" did not refer to other human ethnicities but to non-human races like the Demon race, God race, or Monster race, so it didn't really matter.

He looked over his list again. Now, he possessed two titles: "Blood-Hand Slayer" and "Flawless." He had the half-step Emperor weapon, the Human Emperor Banner! He possessed the Heaven-tier weapon, the Supreme Dragon-Slaying Saber, and the Heaven-tier poison, the Heaven-One Demonic Water. Not to mention the Heavenly Demon Bliss Technique, the Ten-Thousand Blood God-Slaying Array, and various martial arts and alchemy formulas recorded in his mind. He also had many weapon-forging materials and medicinal ingredients of Earth, Profound, and Yellow tiers.

Of course, most importantly, there was the "General Record of Talismans," which was considered "unranked," but he always felt that this was currently the most useful thing he had. The "Dream-Weaving Talisman" had one use left. It was no exaggeration to say that without this talisman—which was the most useless one in the other world—he wouldn't have achieved his college entrance exam scores, and his life would have been completely different.

As for now, he had finally successfully obtained his high school diploma and achieved exam results that would have been unimaginable half a year ago. His high school career had truly come to an end.

The next things to do: one was to learn to drive—he had already signed up; another was to study how to apply for college with Tongtong; and finally, he needed to find a way to grind the Profound Light Sand into cinnabar that could be used for drawing talismans. He certainly couldn't take the Profound Light Sand directly to a factory and ask someone to process it. Fortunately, there were ways.

Ah, right! There was one more thing—the most important of all—that he must not forget!
