I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 209: The Correct Way to Use It

The long winter has finally passed, and the spring breeze once again turns the banks of the Long Celestial River green.

In this early spring season, Zhang Yuan quietly returned to the West Mountain Collection.

But he did not enter the collection directly; instead, he overlooked his former home through the eyes of the Red-eyed Crow.

After more than a month, the West Mountain Collection had already changed its appearance.

Many houses here had collapsed, and it was not the result of a natural disaster.

In some places, one could even see scattered broken weapons, imagining how intense the battles were at that time.

Although Zhang Yuan did not find anyone from the Ferocious Tiger Gang, there were very few visible residents of West Mountain Collection.

The whole collection looked utterly desolate and ruined!

Although Zhang Yuan had no feelings for the West Mountain Collection, such scenes still left his heart heavy.

With a sigh, Zhang Yuan headed towards his original home.

His home had not been spared the fate either.

The courtyard gate was missing, half of the surrounding wall had collapsed, the doors and windows of the house were shattered, and none of the furniture was inside!

The secret room and the cellar could not be preserved either, the mess was unbearable to look at.

Such a scene extinguished Zhang Yuan’s last thought.

He was not too surprised.

Before leaving, he had already anticipated such a possibility.

But recalling the bits and pieces of life he once lived here, he couldn’t help but feel a little wistful.

"Brother Zhao?"

At this moment, a voice filled with hesitation came from behind.

Zhang Yuan turned around and nodded at the old man who appeared at the courtyard entrance: "Old Kou, long time no see."

The visitor was none other than Old Man Kou.

The other person looked much older.

But being able to survive, he was already considered strong!

"It really is you!"

Old Man Kou said with surprise and joy, his voice trembling: "Earlier I thought it looked like you, but I didn’t dare believe it; I didn’t expect you could come back!"

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "I just came to have a look, didn’t plan to stay here again."

"This place can’t be lived in anymore either."

Old Man Kou said with a bitter smile, "After you left, the True Martial Sect and the Ferocious Tiger Gang turned this place into a battleground, killing each other until rivers of blood flowed, so many people died."

Pausing, he sighed and said, "Steward Qu also died."

Zhang Yuan was surprised: "Qu Hong is dead?"

In his impression, Qu Hong was a cunning and slippery character.

And such a person best knew how to adapt to circumstances, theoretically should not easily lose his life.

"He died!"

Old Man Kou sneered, "This guy was cozying up to the True Martial Sect while trying to flatter the Ferocious Tiger Gang, and ended up getting reported and was slapped to death by a Tier Four master from the Ferocious Tiger Gang."

"In the end, it was still I who dug his body out from the snow and buried it!"

Zhang Yuan remained silent.

Being indecisive and back-and-forth resulted in Qu Hong’s downfall, and it wasn’t surprising at all!

"Let’s not talk about him."

Old Man Kou lamented, "Now there aren’t many people left in West Mountain Collection, I’m planning to find a family to retire with in the Outer Ruins. I planned to leave today; didn’t expect to see you again."

Zhang Yuan nodded: "Take care."

This Old Man Kou was much smarter than Qu Hong, well versed in the art of self-preservation, likely to live well in the Outer Ruins too.

Most likely able to die of old age, without worries.

He watched Old Man Kou’s aged figure fade into the distance until completely disappearing from view.

Retracting his gaze, Zhang Yuan no longer lingered at his original home.

He went to his second hideout near the West Mountain Collection.

Or perhaps a safe house.

This hideout was rarely visited by people, and was sufficiently hidden, so there were no signs of discovery or damage.

Zhang Yuan descended along the long secret passage until he reached the outlet.

The next moment, he activated his Dantian True Qi, injecting it into the Dragon Carp Armor worn on his right hand!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Accompanied by the sound of fine metal friction, the Dragon Carp Armor in wristband form suddenly unfolded, instantly enveloping Zhang Yuan’s right hand, then rapidly extended over his entire body.

The swiftly extending scale armor clung tightly to Zhang Yuan’s skin, from the right arm to the chest, abdomen, limbs...

Finally covering his head, leaving only a pair of sharp eyes shining.

This was the complete form of the Dragon Carp Armor!

Initially, this peculiar Profound Artifact couldn’t cover Zhang Yuan’s left hand.

And it was quite cumbersome to use.

But after Zhang Yuan became a true Tier Four Martial Artist and mastered the use of Innate True Qi.

He uncovered some of the magnificence of the Dragon Carp Armor.

Zhang Yuan took off his clothes and boots.

The black scale armor, shining with metal light, was fully revealed.

This Profound Armor was as light as nothing, closely wrapping his entire body yet seemingly non-existent.

Not hindering actions in the slightest.

And it looked very cool.

But unfortunately, it couldn’t be easily shown in front of people!

Once fully armored, Zhang Yuan plunged into the icy river.

The Long Celestial River had long since thawed with the advent of spring, but the snow on Taiwu Mountain was still melting continuously, therefore the river water not only was exceptionally clear, but also contained a bone-chilling coldness.

But without the support of Water Profound Communication Ability, Zhang Yuan felt no coldness.

The Dragon Carp Armor on him completely isolated him from the river water and cold!

Since accidentally obtaining this Profound Armor, Zhang Yuan had always wanted to try its power in the water.

Because the Dragon Carp must belong to water, perhaps offering some surprises underwater!

And reality proved him right.

This Profound Armor is first and foremost a super top-grade Water Armor.

The process of diving into the river was incredibly smooth, the icy river water automatically parted before him, creating no obstruction, even providing a slight augmenting effect.

Moreover, Zhang Yuan could feel the extreme compatibility of the Dragon Carp Armor with the water.

As if it was born for diving!

Zhang Yuan swam a distance, then imbued himself with the ability of Water Profound Communication.

The next moment, he shot forward like an arrow leaving the bowstring, achieving unprecedented speed.

One must know that Zhang Yuan only activated the Extraordinary Abilities of the White Dragon Loach.

He didn’t even add agility!

The Dragon Carp Armor not only was super compatible with the body of water but also complemented Zhang Yuan’s Water Profound Communication Ability.

Zhang Yuan felt extremely joyful.

He seemed transformed into a big black carp, swimming upstream in the Long Celestial River with the undercurrent surging.

Leaving countless fishes behind.

More magically, after being soaked in the river for a while, the surface of the Dragon Carp Armor underwent changes.

The originally black shiny scales emitted a clear and bright glow, gradually merging with the surrounding water, creating an almost invisible effect.

Then the fishes in the river ignored Zhang Yuan’s existence, even swimming beside him!

Zhang Yuan had a realization in his heart.

This was probably the correct way to use the Dragon Carp Armor.

It wasn’t armor used for combat and defense but an excellent equipment for crossing rivers!

Previously falling into the hands of that female assassin was a sheer waste of a treasure.

Now worn by Zhang Yuan, it truly became like adding wings to a tiger!
